Chapter 1181: Seafood Feast
Two days later, in the morning, Yang Huairen walked out of the cabin and heard the sound of seagulls. Rubbing his eyes, he turned his head to look south, and he vaguely saw land.
Although he only drifted on the sea for three days, the moment Yang Huairen saw the coastline of the Great Song Dynasty, he had a heroic feeling of Magellan's big brother who returned to his hometown after circumnavigating the earth in later generations.
In fact, Yang Huairen later learned that all he saw was an island called Salmon Island, which was still half a day's voyage away from the real land.
The camp of the Dengzhou Navy Division is on this Shamen Island.
Seeing a large ship without a flag heading in the direction of Salmon Island, the Dengzhou Navy Division immediately sent several small boats to meet it.
Yang Huairen ordered someone to greet the sailor and revealed his identity, and as soon as the sailor soldiers heard that it was Yang Huairen, they immediately became excited, which made Yang Huairen feel very surprised.
It turned out that Yang Huairen had not received any information from the Great Song Dynasty for nearly a month, and he did not know much about what was happening in China.
In the Song-Xia War, the Great Song Dynasty won a complete victory, although the Song army had not yet returned to the dynasty, but the little emperor happily took the first step to transmit the news of the victory of the Song-Xia War to various places.
The emperor, naturally, wants to hype up such a feat, especially the Song Dynasty has never gained much in foreign wars, this time the Western Xia has never recovered, Zhao Xu naturally wants to advertise himself as a mighty emperor like the Qin Emperor and Han Wu.
Of course, in addition to boasting about himself, all the heroes in this war were also greatly praised, not only coaches like Zhang Dian, but also many famous generals in the war, such as You Shixiong and Seed Master Dao, and even Yang Huairen, a behind-the-scenes participant.
Naturally, such a thing as designing to stabilize the Liao State will not be mentioned, but it is more about Yang Huairen's victory over the Western Xia Army in last year's Ring Line Battle, which set a good example for this year's Song-Xia War and boosted the morale of the soldiers, and then Yang Huairen invented a new type of military rations, which played a great role in the victory of this war.
Now Yang Huairen's name has also followed those generals on the battlefield and penetrated into the hearts of soldiers everywhere, and when the Dengzhou sailors heard that Yang Huairen had returned from Liao, of course they respected and welcomed it to the fullest.
Therefore, the soldiers of the sailor escorted Yang Huairen's big ship, and sailed for half a day before landing at Dengzhou Port.
The local officials in Dengzhou also came to greet them, but it was a pity that Yang Huairen was not in the mood to entertain them, and he almost lost his tall heroic image when he got off the boat.
Things are very interesting, when I first got on the boat, everyone was seasick, but after sitting on the boat for three days, it seems that I have adapted to the rhythm of dangling, and once again I stepped on the stable land, but I didn't seem to be so adapted, and I felt a little dizzy.
The officials who were officials at the seaside also seemed to understand this, so they did not invite Yang Dajun to eat at the restaurant, and went directly to an official post not far from the port to rest first.
Yang Huairen returned to the Great Song Dynasty, naturally he was happy and very relieved, but Sister Ghost, the Khitan princess, was a little unaccustomed to it when she set foot on a foreign land for the first time, and she seemed a little restrained.
There are some things that Yang Huairen is not easy to expose, after all, now that the ghost sister is also his concubine, she still has to give face, and she can't talk about the Song people's doubts about the Khitans.
Therefore, Yang Huairen only thought that she had not recovered from the discomfort of seasickness and cared about her, which made Sister Ghost feel at ease.
In fact, Yang Huairen is not worried in his heart, after all, as a county prince of the Great Song Dynasty, he married a Khitan princess and came back, in the eyes of ordinary Song people, he will always feel a little weird.
Although Yang Huairen did this at the beginning, he was deceived by Sister Ghost and led his nose to this point, and it was also in order to achieve the important task assigned to him by Zhao Xu that he had such an ending.
But these things can't be said to ordinary people, so Yang Huairen directly did not show the true identity of the ghost sister, and others only knew that this exotic beauty was Yang Huairen's concubine, and did not understand the fact that she was a Khitan princess.
Fortunately, Sister Ghost's appearance is not so easy for people to see at first glance, and they thought that she was a Khitan woman.
After resting for two days, everyone's physical and mental state has also recovered almost, and Yang Huairen entertained the local officials in Dengzhou, and took his brothers to several major restaurants in Dengzhou City to taste the local wine and food.
At this time, Dengzhou, that is, Penglai in later generations, since Penglai has been called a fairyland since ancient times, the scenery is naturally needless to say.
The local cuisine also fully reflects the local characteristics, with a strong maritime style.
Some of the most famous seafood products are prawns, folded oysters, abalone, sea cucumbers, large insect desolation, copper pot fish and ground shengzi.
Shrimp, scientific name Oriental prawn, is distributed in the coastline of East Asia, and is also the most commonly eaten shrimp, a large body fat, the fishy smell is very light, whether fried, fried or made into soup, it is a delicacy with high nutritional value.
Pleated oysters, hehe, men's favorite, do not need to be cooked with great effort, can be eaten raw, with extremely high protein content, known as the milk of the sea.
Abalone, also known as wrinkled abalone, is one of the more precious abalones, large in size, can reach fifteen centimeters, because abalone likes to grow in the marine environment with clear water quality and high salinity, so the yield of later generations has been very low, wild abalone is extremely rare, the price is almost calculated by grams.
However, there is no pollution in the ocean now, and there is no good way for the chef to deal with the abalone, so a palm-sized pile of abalone was directly baked with the shell and served it, and the excited Yang Huairen almost shed tears.
Thinking that one bite could eat a month's salary in the future, Yang Huairen couldn't help but eat a few more bites rudely.
Big insect solution is a common name for crabs at this time, and the red red crab here in Penglai is the most famous, how to say it, it is really big and fat to the point of having no friends.
The ground is flounder, which is simply fried in oil, the fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, or steamed at will, and it is fragrant and tender, and it is delicious and delicious without a skilled chef, any fisherman.
Tongpan fish, amazing, commonly known as Gaji fish, scientific name true sea bream, the shallow sea of Northeast Asia is the most suitable fish for fish belly, there is no one.
Because the red sea bream is large, the whole body is silvery-red, and the color of the body turns dark after being caught, like the color of the copper basin, so it is named the copper basin fish.
The biggest reason for Penglai's local jay fish is that it feeds on shellfish, and if you think about it, the red sea bream itself is very delicious, so what does the red sea bream taste like when it feeds on prawns, oysters and abalone?
