C120 - Seafood Feast

Although they had fought a big battle a few days ago, scaring away all the fish and shrimp in the area, the fish and other marine life in the sea had returned after the fight was over. Because of this, it didn’t take long for the people of the Beach Tribe to catch and bring back fish.

They placed all the fish in front of Hai Feng in a huge pile; there was a good many different varieties of seafood.

“You… the fish is here.” Hai Feng looked at Zhou Ji.

“Why is there only fish?” Zhou Ji asked.

Hai Feng’s expression showed his doubt.

Zhou Ji said, “I also want other edible things, like shrimp.”

There were many things that could be eaten in the sea, but fish was definitely the best tasting thing. How could shrimp and the like that came with shells be as tasty as fish? Hai Feng felt that Zhou Ji was purposely being difficult by requesting that he obtain those things.

Yet even if that was the case, there was nothing he could do…

He could only have the people of the Beach Tribe go and catch some of those other things.

The people of the Beach Tribe were just as dissatisfied as Hai Feng, but even their powerful Sea God didn’t dare resist this person… They didn’t dare speak up and could only go and catch something else.

They decided to grab some things that didn’t taste good for this person!

Zhou Ji wasn’t clear about what the people of the Beach Tribe were thinking. Meanwhile, some fish in the pile had died as soon as they had left the sea, but some were still alive. Zhou Ji glanced at Xiong Ye.

Xiong Ye recalled that Zhou Ji couldn’t take any life and immediately said, “I’ll go and kill the fish!”

He was already very practiced at killing fish and soon finished killing them all. Seeing this, Zhou Ji had some people boil water, then picked out a few fish that looked like they had fleshier, tastier meat, rubbed some salt on them, and set them on the steaming rack to steam.

Steaming seafood was the best way to retain the taste of fresh seafood. Of course, they couldn’t all be steamed… Zhou Ji picked out the fish that appeared the most like ribbonfish from amongst the pile of fish. He salted them, then he took out the small amount of remaining barley that they had, and had Xiong Ye beat it into barley flour. When the barley flour was ready, he wrapped the ribbonfish in barley flour and placed them in the pot to fry them in oil.

It was easy for ribbonfish to break into pieces if it was fried directly, but it wouldn’t do so when fried in the pan like this.

He also made a few very thin flour pancakes. These pancakes were made in a very simple way, by adding water to flour and making a liquid mixture that he then poured into a pan. It was ready after spreading out the mixture on the pan and letting it cook.

Frying the ribbonfish longer would soften the bones inside. Regardless of whether they were eaten directly or wrapped in the flour pancakes first, they would definitely taste very good.

Having just experienced something very pleasant, Zhou Ji was currently very willing to make something delicious for Xiong Ye.
