Golden Fishing Village

It was already getting dark, so it was a little unrealistic to go back to the resort hotel in Jiangdong District, as it would take a long time, but it was not far to get back to the land, and it would take less than an hour's flight.

Xiaoyi and Fu were very familiar with this place, and he took the group to another seaside area.

It was already night when they arrived, but the Mid-Autumn Festival had just passed, and the moon was still quite round and bright. The silver moonlight fell on the beach, shining the fine sand into white.

Asano Hiroo looked up at the moon, and he smiled and said, "Thanks to the moon for its favor. It gave us face today and rarely showed its full appearance. Maybe it also knew that we were going to entertain guests today, so it showed up."

The place they arrived at was a bit like a small fishing village near the sea, but not a fishing village like Longtou Village. The terrain here was flat, and there were coconut trees that were rare in Tokyo on the shore. Looking carefully at the tide, even at night, the tide at the seaside was light green, which was a bit like a tropical island reef in the Indian Ocean.

After getting off the boat, Xiaoyi and Fu smiled and said, "Gentlemen, you can roll up your trouser legs and jump into the water to try."

As he said that, he jumped in first, took out his pipe, lit it, and took two puffs happily.

Ao Muyang tried the sea water and was immediately surprised: "Is there a warm current passing here? No, the warm current can't make the sea water this temperature."

The sea water temperature here is relatively high. It feels very warm from the bottom to the top when stepping on the seabed. It stands to reason that Tokyo is still very cold at this time. The night wind on the sea on the way back hurts their faces.

Xiaoyi and Fu shook their heads and said, "It's not a warm current, it's an underwater volcano. This is a large underwater volcano. It releases heat all year round, so it is so warm. Look, how magical this world is?"

Ao Muyang felt that it was indeed magical, but also dangerous. There was such a large underwater volcano near the coast. Once it erupted, it was estimated that Tokyo would be affected.

As if seeing his worry, Asano Hiroo smiled and said, "Don't worry, Aosang, the Sumeru Daimaru volcano will not erupt. This place is very safe. Even the government wants to develop the geothermal energy here."

"We have hot springs to soak in tonight. Come on, let's prepare a big meal first. When we are full, let's go to the hot spring to sing a song." Xiaoyi and Fu said excitedly.

The surrounding area is a fishing village. Xiaoyi and Fu have acquaintances in the local area. After he made a phone call, a little old man and a strong man came to pick them up in a hurry. After meeting, they hugged Xiaoyi and Fu tightly, and then shouted at him with the fisherman's usual loud voice.

They followed the fisherman to a traditional Japanese house. The fisherman's wife had prepared warm wine for them. They braved the cold wind to enter the house. The charcoal basin was lit inside. The red flames emitted amazing heat, so that after they entered the door and drank two cups of hot wine, their bodies warmed up all of a sudden.

Xiaoyihefu introduced Ao Muyang and his party to the fisherman. Since it was inconvenient for the two sides to communicate, they bowed to each other as usual to show respect.

After bowing, the fisherman went back to work, leaving them to chat casually in the house.

Xiaoyihefu asked Ao Muyang and the other two, "How about some sashimi tonight? Bonito meat is sweet and suitable for eating as sashimi in a semi-cooked form."

Lu Hu smiled and said, "It's up to you."

The fisherman and his wife then sent warm wine and a few small plates of sashimi. He said a few words to Xiaoyihefu, and Xiaoyihefu laughed and patted the fisherman on the shoulder.

Asano Hiroo translated, "Let's go to the backyard, the things are ready."

Ao Muyang was confused. The things are ready? What else is prepared?

The yard of the fishing village is very large, with a palm tree and a piece of green bamboo planted in it. Because of the abundant geothermal energy around, both bamboo and trees are still green.

The yard was not paved with anything, it was just a simple sandy ground, but the sand here was as fine as the beach, and it was a little warm when you stepped on it barefoot, not cold.

Ao Muyang groaned and said, "This place is simply a paradise on earth."

Xiaoyi and Fu laughed and said, "You are wrong, you came at the right time, Ao Sang, do you think this place is great? But I tell you, this place is not a resort, because once the weather starts to get hot, living here is a kind of uncomfortable torture!"

Ao Muyang nodded, he ignored the summer, and the high temperature here must be unbearable in summer.

There were a lot of hay in the yard. After they went over, they sat around a spacious iron stove. Kindaichi lit the stove and put hay in it, and Xiaoyi and Fu rolled up his sleeves to roast the pierced bonito on the flame.

The fisherman was very busy, constantly adding wine to them, and his wife brought natto, takoyaki, oden and other side dishes. Among them, the fisherman mainly promoted natto and kept inviting them to taste it.

In Ao Muyang's eyes, natto is fermented beans, and the kind that is not fermented successfully, and the beans are pulled into threads, so it is more appropriate to call them candied beans.

He couldn't stand the taste, but the fisherman introduced that this was made by their own family, so he had to try it anyway. In addition, Xiaoyi and his husband and others showed intoxicated expressions on their faces after tasting it, which also made him excited.

After the action, he was honest, this was not his dish.

The fisherman's wife sent some other things, including chicken skewers and chicken skin skewers. The chicken skin skewers looked disgusting and wrinkled. Ao Muyang picked up a string and it was still dripping water, so he was at a loss - how to eat it?

Hiroo Asano saved him. He took a skewer, clamped it with an iron net and put it on the fire to roast: "This is not to be eaten directly, Ao Sang, it has to be roasted with fire. This is dry straw harvested and dried in autumn. It is more flavorful to roast fish and meat."

Ao Muyang was relieved. After roasting, Hiroo Asano gave him a piece, which suited his appetite. The chicken skin was very fragrant after roasting, and it was great to go with wine.

In addition to the roasted chicken skin skewers, there were also fish roe. Lu Hu said that this was called Mentaiko, which is cod roe. It was very satisfying to roast it whole and stuff it into the mouth.

Eating side dishes and drinking wine, the sand under the buttocks was a little warm, and the stove in front of them was even hotter. Such a fisherman's dinner made Ao Muyang and the other two very happy.

The more exciting thing is yet to come. Xiaoyi and Fu directly put the bonito on the fire lit by straw to smoke it. When it is hot enough, he sprinkles a handful of salt on it. The salt falls on the oily surface of the bonito and melts quickly. Some of it falls into the fire, and the flames are raised high with a hiss.

The aroma of roasted fish spreads. Xiaoyi and Fu slowly and rhythmically turn the roasted bonito in horse stance. When the fire is almost done, he signals the three people to start: "Come on, everyone, use your fish knife to cut the meat and eat whichever piece you like. There are raw garlic slices in front of you. You must eat them together. This is the traditional way of eating for fishermen in Kochi Prefecture, and it is very good!"
