    Yunsha Fishing Port Restaurant has been open for three days, but it has been deserted. The occupancy rate of the large open dining area has always remained at about 20%.  The main Yunsha Island specialty brand is currently not recognized by customers due to prejudices about its origin and price factors. Not one of the related dishes has been sold in three days.  As the general manager, Ma Detao feels a little uneasy, but given the current situation, increasing the intensity of publicity in the store is not only of little use, but may easily arouse customer resentment.  It seems that the elimination of prejudice does not happen overnight, and now we can only wait patiently for a turn of events.  But the customer base is also made up of a wide variety of people, with all kinds of personalities.  No, at noon on the fourth day, a customer finally became interested in the Yunsha Island specialty in the menu.  This is a middle-aged couple. The man looks broad-minded and fat. They are sitting at a table for four on the north side of the dining area, leisurely looking through the menu.  After a moment, he waved to the waiter and asked: "Excuse me, what's so special about the seafood on Yunsha Island? Why is it so expensive?" "Hello, sir. This is what happened around Yunsha Island.  The sea area has a first-class ecological environment and the water quality is clean and pollution-free. The quality of the aquatic products there is much higher than that of other places. Our store implements the pricing principle of high quality and low price to provide customers with better services and will not let you down. "  The waitress makes introductions to customers according to the training content.  "According to your introduction, this Yunsha Island is not far from Linjiang River. Can the environmental difference be that big?" the middle-aged man asked doubtfully.  ¡°Currently, it is a protected area with private use rights, and development is strictly controlled.¡± The waitress responded calmly.  The woman sitting opposite her winked at her husband, telling him to ignore it. After all, there are too many false advertisements these days.  The middle-aged man waved his hand gently to show that he understood.  However, as a senior seafood lover, he has always paid close attention to the relevant producing areas.  He had a strong interest in Yunsha Island, which he had never heard of before.  After thinking for a moment, he got up and followed the waiter to the seafood pool to select items and browsed for a while.  Stopping in front of a large glass tank said to be a specialty of Yunsha Island, based on past experience.  I chose a good-looking Spanish mackerel, which weighed about three pounds by visual inspection.  Later, I picked some scallops and sea urchins from the glass tank next to me.  A store clerk holds a copy, fishes out things according to the customer's requirements, and sends them to the kitchen for processing.  After turning around and returning to his seat, his wife complained to him: "You are serious, you just believe what others say." "We don't lack the money, so we just have to be fooled once. It's not a big deal.  "The middle-aged man said carelessly.  "You are such a foodie. You have been this virtuous since you were young." The wife came over and rolled her eyes.  "Haha, if I wasn't a foodie, there would be no chance for us to meet each other." The middle-aged man laughed.  "Go, you're not serious." About half an hour later, the dishes were served one after another, and the protagonist was naturally the steamed mackerel.  On an oval blue and white porcelain plate, an intact large mackerel, with its head and tail slightly upturned, lies flat on it.  The shape is lively and lively.  The white meat is exposed at the edge of the knife, and shredded ginger, green onion and red pepper are sprinkled on the surface of the fish body, and the aroma overflows.  It makes people move their fingers.  "Oh, the aroma is pretty good." The middle-aged man twitched his nose, and his initial impression was good.  He immediately took his bamboo chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat from the middle of the fish body, put it into his mouth, and tasted it with his eyes closed.  For a moment, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face and he said: "Well, the texture is delicate. The meat is elastic and the taste is mellow and delicious. The cooking temperature is also just right, highlighting the original flavor of the fish. It's really good. Come on, you too  Try it while it's hot." After hearing his comment, his wife became more curious and started using her chopsticks.  "Well, it's really delicious." "I didn't expect that there are good things in this clear sea nowadays. It's rare." The middle-aged man felt the delicious fragrance in his mouth, and the taste buds on his tongue told him that this thing on the table was  The Spanish mackerel is an authentic and excellent natural ingredient.  Although it is 50% more expensive than ordinary products, in one word, it is worth it!  The couple are obviously masters at eating fish, and their movements are skillful and elegant. In a short time, the steamed Spanish mackerel, which weighed more than three kilograms, turned into a skeleton. It looked cleaner than what ants had chewed.  After the meal, the bill was settled. The total cost of the meal was more than 600 yuan. The couple both agreed that they could accept it, and then stood up and left with satisfaction.  Soon, the lobby manager Dong Zhengyang reported the news to Ma Detao.? miles.  The restaurant¡¯s main specialty, Yunsha Island¡¯s specialty seafood, was finally open, and the two obviously knowledgeable customers responded very well, which made his anxious heart instantly feel a lot more relaxed.  Ma Detao understands that the ingredients produced on the island are of excellent quality, and the biggest problem at present is just the lack of public awareness.  But as long as you start this, I believe that through word of mouth, word of mouth will gradually spread in the future.  Of course, this will definitely take a long time, and we must be patient enough.  ********************************************* At this time, Yunsha Island  To the west, a small sampan floats on the sea.  There were two people standing on the sampan, it was Xizi and Lu Houer.  So far, it has been more than a month since our new friend Lu Houer came to the island. After some initial discomfort, he has gradually integrated into this small group.  Lu Houer is very smart. He has mastered all kinds of work on the island, whether it is hoeing, fertilizing, pruning fruit tree branches, taking care of chicken coops, etc., after playing with Laishuner and Xizi for a while.  Today, Xizi took the time to bring him here, mainly to teach him how to use a hand-thrown net.  "Xizi, why don't you teach at the small dock?" Lu Hou'er asked doubtfully.  The water depth near the small pier is unobstructed and the view is wide, which is obviously more convenient than on a small sampan.  "I don't understand this. There are so many fish at the small pier. Just one net can weigh dozens of kilograms. Did you eat them all in one go?" Xizi said, while bending down to pull out the net stored in the cabin.  .  The demand for seafood in restaurants is not high at present, so resources cannot be wasted at will.  "Oh." Lu Hou'er responded, stepping forward to help Xizi.  "Look, this is called the two-hand throwing technique. Pay attention to my thumbs. When I throw them, I can catch the net and open my mouth easily." Xizi stood up straight and explained the technique while holding it with his left hand.  Hang the fishing net kicker and about one-third of the net mouth with your right hand, hang the net kicker on your thumb, and then hold the remaining net mouth part, keeping a distance that is convenient for movement with both hands.  Then he rotated his body from left to right, raised his arms neatly, and sent the net out with a swish. The net ball traveled in a straight line for a few seconds, spread out and transformed into a huge circular cover and fell into the water, causing ripples.  "Wow, that's great!" Lu Hou'er applauded.  "Haha, it's so trivial for us old fishermen to do this." Xizi was quite proud, and then pulled the net back.  Lu Houer then started to practice, but because he was a novice and his movements were unfamiliar, he even cast a few handfuls of nets without spreading them out, forming a ball and causing the sampan to bump from side to side.  Xizi quickly told him to stabilize his center of gravity and corrected his wrong posture step by step.  Fortunately, Lu Houer's ability to comprehend was really impressive. After repeating it more than a dozen times, he finally threw out a full circle.  "Well, it's not bad." Xizi nodded in agreement, thinking to himself that this kid learns things really fast, and he seems to be better than himself at the beginning.  Lu Houer was encouraged, his confidence increased greatly, and he got ready to continue.  At this time, a pair of triangular fins suddenly appeared on the water surface. Without thinking, Lu Monkey subconsciously threw the net towards the target.  "Stop!" A loud shout came from my ears, and then my arm was pulled hard. The sampan swayed violently and almost fell over.  Lu Houer was stunned. After he regained his composure, he saw Xizi hurriedly pulling back the fishing net. Although he didn't know why, he still hurriedly helped.  "Huh, you kid, you really dare to do this!" Xizi breathed heavily, with a sullen look on his face.  Lu Hou'er didn't know what he had done wrong. He only heard a chirping sound next to him. Following the sound, he saw a big round head with a long snout emerging from the sea. Its big mouth opened, revealing two rows of white.  Fine teeth.  "Dolphin!" Lu Hou'er shouted in surprise. In TV programs about marine animals, this kind of big-headed fish with a strong and streamlined body has always been the most popular species.  "Look, this is Leqiu, Brother Chenzi's precious pimple. You almost put a net over its head just now." Xizi said with lingering fear. Fishing nets are almost the most dangerous and fatal thing for dolphins. If  If something happens, I really don¡¯t know how to explain it to Brother Chenzi.  "Ah, II don't know, what should I do? It won't be angry, right?" Lu Hou'er suddenly became nervous, and then he realized that what he had just done was extremely stupid.  Moreover, a big guy like this that lives in the water is very strong. If it gets angry, it may capsize boats and attack people.  "Why won't you be angry? Le??If your temper gets worse, your body is just enough to serve as his dinner.  Xizi threatened angrily. When Lu Houer heard this, he immediately reached out and grabbed an oar, holding it tightly in his hand in an emergency posture. Although he had never heard of dolphins biting people before, after all,  It's a wild animal, no one can guarantee it. Xizi shook his head. As the saying goes, he who doesn't know is not guilty. It's his fault that he forgot to remind him of this. The sound of the music ball changing rapidly over there continued. According to experience,  This should be a sign of indignation and protest. Xizi quickly appeased him and rummaged around in the cabin. Fortunately, he found a few specially prepared steamed buns and gave them to Leqiu to apologize.  After that, he walked away gracefully and stopped worrying about others. Lu Hou'er finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the board of the boat. He then gave the order to return to the ship.  )
