Chapter 406: An Alternative Approach to Crab Rice
"If that's what you say, then there's a serious problem!"
Hearing Daxter's words, Ye Luo's brows, which had not yet let go, furrowed into the word 'Chuan' again, and said with a serious face: "Our island is too close to Newfoundland, and now the fishing ground is about to be caught, even if we assure people that our seafood is fine, it is estimated that not many people will dare to buy it, so won't the seafood in our fishing ground be unsold?"
As soon as this remark came out.
Dast and the others all had solemn expressions on their faces, and they all realized the seriousness of the matter.
"yes, I almost forgot about it. ”
"This matter has to be solved quickly, time waits for no one!"
"Why don't we ask the big companies that specialize in seafood?"
"It's useless, once people know that we are in Newfoundland, they will definitely not come to buy it. ”
Listening to the discussion between Dast and the others like headless flies, Ye Luo hurriedly spoke up to stop them from continuing: "Okay, don't think about it, anyway, there is still time now, let's see when the catch comes out." ”
Subsequently, Ye Luo, Dast and others carried the boxes containing seafood to the electric car and transported them back.
Scarlett and her father-in-law went home first, and they originally planned to ask Ye Luo or Li Qingqing to come back to make something, but they were rejected by their father-in-law, Slick.
The four of them had traveled long distances by plane, and had been on a boat for nearly three hours, and they had little appetite at all.
Scarlett had to cut some fruit for them to eat.
Ye Luo, Dast and the others got the seafood back, and they didn't go to rest, but chose to deal with it immediately, mainly because there was too much seafood, and they didn't know when it was finished, where would there be time for him to rest.
Ye Luo pondered for a while, he couldn't just eat crabs, he had to have some staple food.
And this is his father-in-law, mother-in-law and sister-in-law, if you don't take this opportunity to show it, when will you wait?
Dast and they are all veterans, and there is definitely no problem in handling seafood, which is not only clean, but also fast.
However, Ye Luo still felt that there were a little fewer people, and planned to call a few more people to help.
Coincidentally.
Ye Luo saw Ilobella coming back from outside, so he beckoned to her: "Ilobela, it's just right to come back, come here." ”
"Boss, what are you telling me to do?" Ilobella asked, walking over and cautiously.
Ye Luo didn't fool her, but explained directly: "I bought a little too much seafood, and now I have people to help deal with it, I see that you seem bored and have nothing to do, and I plan to let you behave." Go, help clean those boxes of big crabs. ”
Originally, Ye Luo planned to ask Scarlett to help, but thinking that the old man had just arrived, and their family hadn't seen each other for almost half a year, he definitely needed time to reminisce about the old days, and he was embarrassed to let the family come out to help.
And Sister Hong, he must not be able to command, and he is in the house with Scarlett at this time to accompany his father-in-law.
Xia Xiaofei and the others are all in the company, and now the rest is Ilobella, who has just returned.
He couldn't help it, and if he had enough people, he wouldn't let Ilobella help.
Ilobella came to Li Qingqing's side to help wash the crabs, while Dast and the others handled lobster, abalone, octopus, skin shrimp and other seafood.
Ye Luo plans to make a dish of steamed rice with crab as a staple dish for the evening
The normal way should be to use glutinous rice, but now there is no one at home, so you can only use rice that is usually cooked.
Afterwards, Ye Luo began to prepare, first went back to the house and took out some rice and dried shiitake mushrooms, soaked them in hot water and put them aside, and then cut some giant morel mushroom chopped and put them aside for later use.
After doing this, Ye Luo carefully washed the rice and took out the large casserole that had stewed meat before.
Over there, Li Qingqing and Ilobella had already washed seven or eight big crabs, and Ye Luo took half of the washed crabs without saying a word.
I simply picked it up, but in fact, I took off the heart, stomach and gills of the crab.
These three things are strangely cold things, and they can't be eaten.
After getting the crabs, he plans to start making casserole crab rice.
Put the washed rice into a casserole, and put four large crabs on top of the rice.
After chopping the mushrooms, they stir-fried them in oil and put them in the middle of the crabs, and then poured the water in which the mushrooms were soaked and sprinkled with the morel mushrooms.
After making some charcoal fire, Ye Luo put this casserole on the charcoal fire.
Considering that there were a lot of people and a large casserole was not enough to eat, Ye Luo had to take out the remaining three or four casseroles again and wash them, and then began to repeat the previous steps again.
After the last large casserole was placed on the charcoal fire, he took advantage of the gap to catch his breath and wiped the fine sweat from his forehead by the way.
Although Li Qingqing was washing the crabs, she had been staring at Ye Luo's movements, and when she saw that Ye Luo was finished, she asked curiously: "Boss, look at your posture, if I guess correctly, are you going to make crab rice?"
"You guessed it, I did make crab rice. Ye Luo said with a smile.
Li Qingqing asked curiously: "I remember, crab rice usually uses jars, but you choose to use a casserole, are you sure it can be delicious?"
"To be honest, I haven't done this thing before, I don't have it on Jar Island, I can only use a casserole, I don't think it tastes too bad. Compared with the jar, the casserole should be heated more evenly, and the crab and shiitake mushrooms should be delicious. ”
Ye Luo spread his hands and said: "Essentially, I am a wild cook, and when I cook, I just want to make a show, so I will find you, a professional cook, to support me in the scene." ”
Using a casserole to stew rice, Ye Luo was also the first time to make it, so he paid extra attention to it.
Basically, they are all watching over the four casseroles, and they don't dare to deal with the seafood that hasn't been cleaned at all.
You must know that he made this dish mainly to show himself well in front of his father-in-law, so he couldn't be careless.
If he is careless and finally confused, he will definitely have the heart to die at that time!
Charcoal fire is not as good as firewood, and it takes a lot of time to cook the rice in the casserole.
Little by little, time passed.
After the small round hole on the lid of the casserole begins to have hot air coming out, Ye Luo will twist the small jar with a rag, which is to make the casserole more evenly heated, so as not to burn underneath.
In that case, even if you slow down the delicacies of the mountains and seas in this casserole, you can't afford the smell of smoke.
Unconsciously, Li Qingqing, who had already washed the crabs, walked over, looked at it for a while and said, "Boss, I see a lot of crabs, you definitely can't finish it, why don't I fry a spicy crab again?"
"Yes, you're a chef anyway, you can do whatever you want. Ye Luo said indifferently.
The main dish of the evening is the crabs, and after a while, the small oven will be set up and the legs of the king crabs will be roasted.
Speaking from the heart, he feels like a turtle, even if he hasn't eaten king crab, he has always thought that king crab is the same as crabs.
Unexpectedly, after going to the fishing dock today, he realized that the main food of this thing is legs, and there is nothing meat in the body.
After Ye Luo twisted the direction of several casseroles, he looked at Li Qingqing, who was picking crabs, and asked, "Qingqing, how do you say we can eat those lobsters?" It would be a pity if there was only one kind of crab for so many seafood, and if you want to do it, you can do it all." ”
"Don't say it, you really ask me, I have only made spicy crayfish and prawns before, but I have never made big lobster, which usually appears more in Western restaurants. ”
Li Qingqing said with a wry smile: "In our restaurant, I have seen the master do it a few times, but he always cuts it, puts vermicelli or taro on the plate, and then steam it in a steamer, and just pour a spoonful of hot oil on it before serving." ”
"Then let's go back and check it out on the Internet. Ye Luo thought for a moment and said.
He saw that lobsters were cheap and bought so many at once, but he ignored the fact that he didn't know how to cook lobsters at all except for steaming.
As soon as he spoke, the fragrant fragrance of the casserole also wafted out.
Li Qingqing sniffed and nodded secretly in approval, the taste is okay, but I don't know how the rice tastes, and now this crab flavor is very authentic.
"Ye Luo, I'm going to trouble you to take care of us during this time. Slick came out of the house and walked over to Leaffall.
Ye Luo hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "No trouble, no trouble, if the company is not busy, you can stay here for a few more days, Alice usually talks about you." ”
"Actually, I don't have much to do in the company now, these years are the off-season of the construction industry, and the business is not so much, so let's stay a few more days." Slick nodded.
After Ye Luo asked McCojie's company to plan the island, he went home with Scarlett to learn that his father-in-law was running a construction company, and it happened that he needed to build a racecourse on the ranch. ”
"Racetrack?"
Slick said happily: "I didn't expect you to like this sport as much as I do, this is very good, I will arrange for someone to design it when I go back, and come up with a few more sets of plans to ensure that the racecourse is built beautifully." ”
"Boss, how long will it take for your rice over there?" Ye Luo was just about to speak, when he heard Li Qingqing suddenly ask at this time.
Ye Luo gave the old man an apologetic look, then squatted down and looked at it and said, "I estimate that it won't take an hour." ”
Li Qingqing nodded knowingly and said, "Then I'll start to catch fire now." ”
She felt that the time was about the same.
Seafood, eat is a fresh taste.
The best taste is when it comes out of the pot, whether it is steamed crab or spicy crab, if you leave it for too long, the umami will slowly decrease over time, although the umami will not disappear completely, but the fishy smell will become very strong.
This is also the reason why when someone goes to some restaurants to eat, the waiter will make a special statement that the seafood should be eaten hot.
