Chapter 755: Sea Delicacies
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Australia and New Zealand were located at the junction of continental plates and were prone to earthquakes in the surrounding seas . Earthquakes on the ocean floor caused cracks in the earth's crust, making them prone to oceanic volcanoes .
Not all ocean volcanoes had lava spillages . In fact, it should be said that most ocean volcanoes did not spill lava but they did expel gases .
These gases were very hot and were the kind of gases that Li Du had been exposed to . If it weren't for the seawater cooling them down, they would have sprayed him, and he would probably have needed skin grafts like Ivana .
After applying the ointment, Li Du got better . He was bored and wanted to go into the water . However, Sophie stopped him and did not let him go in the water temporarily .
A raft came up and Cruz finally smiled . "Hey, you're a flying sea man? Isn't that cool?"
"How did you see that?" asked Li Du .
He had not been thrown overboard by the storm, so it would have been impossible for Cruz to know unless he had been right in front of him . And he just noticed that Cruz hadn't been around .
"You must have been a sea fighter," Cruz said, laughing at his question . "That's why I say it's dangerous . I suggest you get out of here . "
Li Du looked at him suspiciously and said, "Are you stalking me?"
Cruz stopped laughing and said, "Who's stalking you? I just have eyes, and I saw that your back was red and obviously burned . "
With that, he shrugged and went on, "How could you get burned in the ocean? You definitely experienced the hot steam jet coming out from the cracks in the sea . The impact was big, so I guessed that you became a flying sea man . "
"That's a reasonable guess . Yes, you're right," admitted Li Du .
"You have to be careful . There are a lot of cracks in the ocean around here, and every one of those cracks could spew hot steam . If I were you, I'd leave," Cruz lamented .
"You don't know me, man," said Li Du . "I'm a brave man . I will conquer this sea, and I will be the best abalone fisherman here!"
He was joking, but Cruz took it seriously .
Staring at Li Du, he nodded slowly and said, "Well, at least you have a brave heart . All the best, then . Be careful of all the cracks in the sea, I can only warn you . "
He sailed away like a lone ranger .
After this, Hans rose to the surface several times, and at last, he had caught a large black gold abalone .
He held it in his hand and showed it off, only to find out that there was something wrong with Li Du .
Knowing there was a hot steam jet on the bottom of the sea, he was horrified . "Sh*t, fortunately, you were about to surface, and your back was facing the seabed . If your face had been facing it…"
Needless to say, the rest of the story was clear .
Li Du was also a little frightened because Hans was right . He had not thought of that . If the hot steam had been blowing a minute earlier, he would have been facing down . He would have been hurt and would have to wear a veil like Ivana .
So, that's why it was difficult to harvest the black gold abalone . The sea was nothing like the land . Threats were everywhere, all the time .
However, the payoff was so high that even if someone were as rich as Li Du, once he earned 40,000 AUD from black gold abalone, it became tempting .
But this accident had happened suddenly and wasn't something Li Du had planned for . He hadn't known something like this could happen, or he would've had the little bug check around the area, and he wouldn't have been hurt .
He didn't worry about it because now he knew it was a threat . He would pay more attention to it through the little flying bug and avoid the cracks in the ocean floor so that he wouldn't be sprayed .
Presently, there were three black gold abalone ready to prepare for lunch .
As anyone who has ever eaten shellfish knows, there are a lot of shellfish in the sea that have very little meat, such as scallops, which have just a bit of meat between two large shells like oysters . Some types of shellfish were even worse . You should be grateful if the flesh was one-fifth of the shell's weight .
Black gold abalone sometimes looked like it would be that way, too . It had a large carapace and was often encrusted with some unknown debris, so it looked like it would have very little flesh .
In fact, this was actually not the case . If you cleaned up the black gold abalone, you would know that it had a thick flesh and a thin shell . A big abalone could have flesh that made up 50% of its mass and internal organs that made up 20% of its mass .
The other difference between the black gold abalone and most shellfish was that its internal organs, or bowels, could be eaten, so 70% of its body was edible .
Brother Wolf did not know how to cook abalone, so Li Du did the honors .
He learned how to cook abalone when he was researching abalone . This type of abalone could be prepared different ways and could be made into various dishes .
Brother Wolf didn't know how to kill the black gold abalone, either . He just washed away the appearance of debris and handed the rest to Li Du .
Picking up a large abalone, Li Du asked, "Who wants to take a picture?"
Walker, Allen, Hannah, and Lu Guan rushed over, holding up their mobile phone cameras and taking pictures, and then they posted them on their social network profiles to show off .
When they finished taking the photos, Li Du began to clean up .
He wiped off the black gold abalone's shell and found the sharp end where the mouth was, and then he put his thumb between the flesh and the shell . This was the first step .
He pulled the abalone apart a little bit so he could tear the belly and the connection between the abalone and the shell . Some of the things that came out were the bowels .
The bowels were not thrown away . Li Du was cooking porridge on the kitchen counter . There was rice, pork pieces, spring onion leaves, and shrimp . He cut the abalone bowels into cubes and threw them in the porridge . This made it abalone porridge .
This practice belonged to Chinese cuisine . In ancient China, the abalone porridge eaten by noble officials was made from the abalone belly of good, large abalone . After the abalone was boiled in a big fire, the nutrition could be better released .
After digging out its bowels, he looked in the abalone and saw something pink .
It was a black gold abalone tooth . He pulled it out and motioned to brother Wolf . "Pick them out, but try not to hurt the meat . "
His last words were unnecessary . Brother Wolf had knife skills like a professional . The sharp knife moved like lightning in his hand, and the abalone teeth were cut out one by one while the meat was not hurt at all .
Throwing away the abalone teeth, Li Du cut off the hem of its skirt, which was a good part to stir fry because it absorbed seasoning and made it taste good .
The rest of the abalone could be made into sashimi, be boiled, or even made teppanyaki style .
Li Du chose to make sashimi . He wrapped the abalone in a clean towel and punched it hard . This tenderized the abalone meat . Otherwise, it wouldn't be easy to chew .
He gave the abalone to Brother Wolf, who took out a sharp knife and quickly sliced the abalone into even pieces .
The other two live abalones were treated similarly, but the meat was boiled and cooked teppanyaki style, respectively . There wasn't much of each dish, but this way everyone could try a bigger variety of dishes .
