Chapter 57 The Fisherman's Family

Sure enough, Ignaz's next words verified Hames' guess.

"This dish is 'Velvet Crab', all of which are big guys with a size of more than 400 grams. The meat is extremely tender and it is also a high-end ingredient that chefs love very much... Of course, they are also the seafood I caught when I went out to sea this morning.

“Hehe, as long as you are on Hoy Island, I can guarantee that you can eat the freshest 'Velvet Crab' every day…”

Each big crab was steamed to the surface of red, easily arousing Hames' appetite and making his throat move uncontrollably.

They were piled up in a large metal basin and almost piled up high, with at least 20 pieces. This kind of posture of large amounts of pipes becoming fuller and fuller, becoming more and more sincere.

Before leaving yesterday, he was worried about his future life without internet or signal. Now he suddenly realized that it was worth staying on Hoy Island for a longer period of time in the seafood meal promised by the wizard and fisherman.

Ignaz is still talking:

"This is cheese, pineapple langoustine, with a sour and sweet taste. It is my favorite dish. It will never disappoint you... This is a creamy baked mussel, each of which is my carefully selected big shell...

"This is Scottish oyster, all of which weigh more than one pound. After boiling in white water, drizzle a little 'Worcester sauce'. It tastes very delicious. Worcester sauce is a sauce made by Britney himself..."

After introducing all 7 dishes, the big wizard said regretfully: "It's a pity that the time was too tight in the morning, so I couldn't drive a boat to the Shetland Islands further north, otherwise I could secretly get you a seal to taste..."

At this moment, Christopher suddenly interrupted: "Hey, man, you'd better avoid the harp seals of the Shetland Islands. They are protected animals in Scotland. If this matter reaches the Ministry of Magic, you will be in trouble."

Ignaz muttered in dissatisfaction: "Damn environmental terrorists, they actually captured the Ministry of Magic... Oh, I remember decades ago, the wizards were not so bored, and they even took care of such trivial matters."

Hamas was not involved in the discussion of this matter. He couldn't wait to fork up a large oyster and took a hard bite. The umami flavor of the soup and the tenderness of the oyster meat exploded in his mouth in an instant.

He sighed with great satisfaction and complimented from the bottom of his heart: "Mrs. Morris, your skills are amazing, absolutely better than the chefs of three-star Michelin restaurants! I think when I dream tonight, I will definitely dream of every dish on the table!"

Britney smiled suddenly and couldn't stop smiling: "Oh, dear little Hamas, your mouth is so sweet that it's like a smear of honey!"

She personally selected the most plump velvet crab, peeled the crab shells in a few seconds, drizzled them with sauce quickly, and then placed them on the plate in front of Hamas: "If you like it, eat more, and my aunt will make it for you every day in the future!"

Grace looked at Ms. Britney who was extremely happy to be coaxed, and couldn't help but shake her head secretly.

However, she admired her son's way of getting many benefits by talking.

After tasting all the dishes in turn, Hamas has fully confirmed that this is definitely the most delicious meal he has ever eaten in the past 5 years!

So, for granted, he was overwhelmed for the first time in his life!

…………

Hames has to admit that the saying "You will definitely like Hoy Island" that his father said yesterday is really too correct.

The small flaw of not being able to use a mobile phone is just a trivial flaw compared to the leisurely life on vacation.

After using a hearty breakfast and lunch, the big wizard drove a 10-year-old fishing boat to the most famous attraction in Hoy Island, the old man Hoy.

Grace needed to take care of her youngest son Quincy and had to regret to miss the tour.

The so-called "old_man_of_hoy" is actually a giant stone pillar located on the banks of Hoy Island. In the Scotland region, it can be regarded as a landmark attraction and one of the natural wonders created by the erosion of land by sea tides.

"Crazy...Crazy..."

The sound of the sea water washing the coast came into the ears of everyone.

The fishing boat, which is about ten meters long, is constantly shaking with the turbulent sea surface, which makes Hames feel uneasy.

Seeing "Old Man Hoy" up close is indeed very visually impactful.

This dark red stone pillar has an astonishing height of 137 meters, equivalent to a skyscraper of forty or fifty stories high. Hames must raise his head high to see the top.

"I remember a geology expert said that Old Man Hoy is one of the natural wonders created by eroding land by sea tides."

The fisherman wizard Ignaz is not a qualified tour guide. Things related to "Old Man Hoy" are told in a very difficult way. Chinese people who do not know how to learn from the East have made up some fake stories such as "Watching the Wife" and "Night Watcher".

"It is a kind of stone called red sandstone. Compared with other rocks, it is susceptible to seawater corrosion, so the old man Haye has only a few hundred years of history.

"It won't take many years to collapse this stone pillar, and tourists in the future will not see Mr. Huoy..."

Hames raised an objection: "Uncle Ignaz, I don't think so. This should be just a rhetoric of "encouraging tourists", a simple publicity stunt.

"In order to develop the tourism industry, the Scottish government will never allow the elderly Hoy to collapse. If the stone pillar is in danger of collapse, the government will definitely send someone to reinforce the stone pillar with cement."

Ignaz felt something: "Okay, you're saying it makes sense!"

Then the big wizard stretched out his "bear paw" and gently patted Hames on the shoulder, praising him: "You are the smartest child I have ever seen!

"I believe that even if you don't learn magic, you will make a great achievement in the Muggle world!"

Hamas shrugged his shoulders, looking unscrupulous: "In fact, I never doubted this!"

The big wizard was immediately amused and burst into laughter.

He turned to look at his classmate Christopher and said with a smile: "Man, you have a very good child! I discussed with Britney before and then considered having a child until I was 40 years old, but now I start to feel that maybe this is not the right decision."

Christopher smiled slightly and expressed his experience: " Raising a child is not an easy thing. It will bring a lot of trouble and a lot of fun... But in general, you will definitely not regret it!"

This sentence made the big wizard look thoughtful.

Although "Old Man Hoy" is indeed spectacular, it is like "Although the game is good, it will get bored if you play too much", "Although the goddess is beautiful, her desire will fade after watching it for a long time", as the "dopamine" level in her mind began to decrease, Hames quickly lost interest in the stone pillar.

He looked around for a while, focusing on a group of small black dots flying in the air hundreds of meters away.

When Hames could see the gods, the big wizard sounded like a bell, like the "narration sound" in a documentary.

“This is an oystercatcher!

"It can be seen from the name that this kind of bird likes to eat shellfish such as oysters. They have a long and pointed beak that can open hard shells and peck at the shell meat inside..."

These knowledge that has never been heard before makes Hames, who has a studious heart, listen very attentively.

"In addition, the appearance of the oystercatcher here only means one thing..." The big wizard deliberately stopped and kept it a secret.

"What's the matter?" Hamas praised the joke with a very wink to satisfy the other party's desire to express himself.

"The tide is coming down there." The big wizard pointed his hand at the coastline below the small black dot. "The shells attached to the reef will be exposed again, and the oystercatchers will have another chance to have a full meal."

The big man thought about it and suddenly made a suggestion: "Hi, little guy, are you interested in experiencing digging oysters?

"Of course, it's in the wizard's way!"

Hamas's eyes lit up and he replied loudly: "Yes!"

In his previous life, Hamas had watched various videos from domestic and foreign sea rushing videos in various videos, and he had long been yearning for them, but he lived in inland areas and had never had the chance.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the invitation and naturally showed great interest.

What's more, the big guy also pointed out the way of the wizard, which made Hames feel itchy.

Ignaz smiled and started the engine at the stern.

"Buzz...shuh..."

The propeller stirs the sea water, and the thrust generated pushes the fishing boat forward, leaving a row of obvious tracks on the sea surface.

Two minutes later, the big wizard drove a fishing boat near the beach, tied a large reef with a cable, and took a large wooden barrel from the boat.

Then he turned around and greeted the father and son with a smile: "Buddies, the work is on!"

After saying that, he took the lead in walking into the shallow sea water.

Hames looked at each other with his father, grabbed the old wand and jumped off the fishing boat, and then stepped into the water.

Although it was late July and the sun was at the highest point in the sky, the sea water in the North Atlantic was still a little cool, and the coldness penetrated the skin, muscles, and bones, causing Hames to grin and shake a few times.

Christopher immediately noticed his son's expression, but he remained silent.

He is not a father who spoils children without any bottom line.

When Hames' thighs were covered by sea water, through the clear and clean sea water, he saw the surface of black reefs, covered with dense gray shells, which were surprisingly numerous.

It's the oysters!

Their shells have rough surfaces and are uneven, generally large in size, and are longer than adults' slap.

It can be seen that few people pick these oysters except for the oystercatcher.

“Tsk tsk, Scotland’s fishery resources are so abundant!

"In China, with a crowded population, there are few oysters that can be seen in such a large area. Often, there are only a few remote and uninhabited seas."

Hames sighed.

The big wizard placed the big wooden barrel on a large reef exposed to the water and explained with a smile: "When Muggles collect oysters, they need to use tools to pry them off the rocks, and each picking one is quite difficult.

"But we wizards can easily get the oysters down with the power of magic..."

While talking, he pulled out a white magic wand. Because of his tall and strong figure, this 9-inch-long magic wand inexplicably gave people a pocket-sized feeling.
Chapter completed!
