Chapter 178 Crayfish

Xiao Peng sat in the car, looking at the land transfer certificate in his hand, hehe, now he is a big landowner, he didn't expect to have a piece of land of his own, even though it is a mine. You know, where in the world do people love the land the most? It must be the Chinese! Wherever the Chinese go and where the price of land rises, there are no exceptions.

In the end, Maxim still transferred the half of the mining area to him, not because he wanted to transfer it, but when he knew that Xiao Peng wanted to buy the mining area, a group of miners in the town looked at him with blank eyes.

That half of the mining area was bought by them with raised funds, and they originally wanted to make money, but now they have lost money. Now you can not only get back the principal, but also make a profit. For them, that's a great thing.

Looking at that posture, if Maxim didn't sell this half of the mine, they could really go to Maxim's house and smash the glass. Maxim was also helpless, so he had to agree to Xiao Peng, and the two went to go through the land transfer procedures early in the morning, but unfortunately it was raining heavily at this time, and they couldn't go to work in the mining area.

Maxim and Yang Meng built a shed outside the car, he felt that he owed the two of them, so he brought all the guns at home, and took the two of them to practice guns by the river, but it was banging for a while, and the two felt that it was not interesting, and it was better to set off firecrackers for the New Year。。。。。。

Yang Meng found something good: he found a lot of crayfish in the river!

In China, many people like to eat crayfish, and even began to breed a large number of people to meet the needs of diners. But in Australia, it's the opposite, and here the crayfish, that's a real flood!

We all know that crayfish is a diurnal and nocturnal animal, but in Australia, I really can't see its living habits, just in the shallow water zone of the river, densely forming a black and long crayfish belt. At first glance, it looks like a swarm of small tadpoles magnified a hundredfold!

When Maxim saw this, his face was full of sadness, and he directly chopped several crayfish to death, and said angrily in his mouth: "It's all to blame on those turtles in Queensland! Now Australia from Queensland to the Northern Territory, such little devils are overflowing, and in the dry season, they will not only cut off the river, but also cause great trouble to our ecology here." ”

Xiao Peng's face was full of joy when he saw it, he ran to the car with a sapper shovel, and rushed over with a bucket, and he didn't care about the heavy rain, so he directly shoveled crayfish into the bucket with a shovel! Maxim's face was full of puzzlement: "Xiao, what are you doing?"

Steve happened to be wearing a raincoat and walked over: "Maxim, Tiffany said it was raining today, invite Chinese friends for a while。。。。。。 Before he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Peng and Yang Meng catching crayfish, and his face was full of puzzlement: "Hey, my Chinese friends, are you crazy? What are you doing with them? Do you want to use them as pets? Then you don't need so much, right?"

Yang Meng smiled and pointed at Xiao Peng: "Let me let you taste the delicious food in a while! Xiao Peng is the best at making this thing, in our China, this crayfish is still very expensive, and it will cost some money to buy a good one." ”

Yang Meng didn't say nonsense, when he was a child, the two of them often went to the reeds near their hometown to fish for crayfish, and the method was simple, find a piece of string, tie a piece of pork on the top, and then use a small stick as a fishing rod to throw it into the water, and a crayfish will be caught in a while. This crayfish is also greedy, and it won't loosen its tongs when it is dragged out of the water. After they caught it, they let Xiao Peng make it delicious to satisfy his hunger. Xiao Peng is very experienced in doing this thing.

Steve and Maxim's eyes widened, "Oh my God, did I hear me right?

Xiao Peng explained: "Your freshwater crayfish is called red crayfish, which is a very delicious freshwater shrimp species. The best one is supposed to be Queensland, but you guys border here and there, and it should be delicious too. I'll be ready in a moment, so you guys can taste it. ”

Steve exaggerated the cross on his chest and muttered: "God, I definitely don't have the courage to eat this!" You Chinese are so bold, I heard that there is nothing you don't eat, it looks like this. ”

Listening to Steve's words, Maxim nodded sympathetically: "I won't eat it either." ”

Xiao Peng pouted: "Okay, when we eat in a while, you just don't be greedy." Mengzi, I'll wash the lobsters, and you go to build two earthen stoves!"

"Okay!" Yang Meng ran back directly, built two earthen stoves with clay, and sat on them with two large iron pots. Maxim looked at it: "I have dry firewood at home, Mengzi, you go and move some with me!"

And Xiao Peng was carefully washing the lobsters with a small brush, after all, there was too much sand and silt on the crayfish in the river. After Xiao Peng washed the crayfish, the fire in the earthen stove had already burned.

Xiao Peng chopped the dried chili peppers, chopped the millet peppers, patted the garlic open, prepared the green onions, ginger, white sweet and sour ingredients and other ingredients, and under the curious eyes of Maxim and Steve, he began to make the best crayfish dish: spicy crayfish!

In fact, the method of spicy crayfish is really simple, first boil the oil, then put what millet pepper, green onion, ginger and garlic and so on into the oil and stir-fry, and then add dried chili pepper, pepper, star anise, salt and the like to enhance the flavor. When waiting for the fragrance of the seasoning, put the crayfish into the pot and stir-fry, at this time add white vinegar, sugar and a small amount of bean paste, and then add the biggest secret weapon: the second pot head, because the crayfish has a shell and it is difficult to taste, so you can adjust the taste here.

Xiao Peng and his wife both love spicy food, so they put almost half a pot of dried chili peppers at that time, and after the crayfish shell turned red, Xiao Peng poured water into the pot and began to simmer and stir-fry. However, it should be noted that if you keep simmering, the crayfish will be scorched, so stir-fry every few minutes. In this way, a large bucket full of crayfish turned into two pots of spicy crayfish.

Yang Meng also simply: "You have a pot, I have a pot, see who eats it first!"

Xiao Peng nodded: "No problem." The two didn't ask Maxim and Stephen at all. began to feast, in fact, Xiao Peng smiled in his heart, Maxim was better, his face was shocked, Steve's saliva came down directly------ every time he lifted the lid of the pot, the aroma came to their nostrils, they were really attracted by the aroma of spicy crayfish.

Maxim and the two watched Xiao Peng peel off the shrimp skin, peel out the tender white shrimp meat and put it in their mouths, and the food was called fragrant. But the two of them just said that they would never eat it, but now it's good, Xiao Peng and they won't greet them at all when they eat, they are embarrassed now, they want to eat, but they are afraid of losing face.

Xiao Peng thought that it could be Steve who spoke first, but he didn't expect Maxim to move a chair directly and sit next to him, and unceremoniously took one, like the scholar Xiao Peng, peeled off the shrimp skin, peeled out the shrimp meat and put it in his mouth.

Xiao Peng Yile: "Old Ma, didn't you say you wouldn't eat?"

Maxim inhaled sharply and muttered, "Did I say it? If you don't eat such a delicious thing, you are called an idiot." After saying that, he picked up another one and continued to eat, this time he was more experienced, and even the soup on the shrimp shell had to be sucked clean.

Steve couldn't stand it anymore, ran to Yang Meng's side, grabbed a crayfish and ate it: "It's so spicy, it's so spicy!"

Yang Meng glanced at him: "Since it's so spicy, what else do you eat? Don't let yourself suffer." ”

How do you know that Steve inhaled the cool air while continuing: "Delicious, delicious!" Xiao Peng was speechless at this time, this is a pure foodie!

Xiao Peng then remembered, as if Steve said something when he came just now: "Steve, what did you ask us for just now?"

Steve was licking his fingers, and when he heard Xiao Peng's question, he was stunned for a moment: "Yes, what am I here for?"

Xiao Peng was speechless: "You ask me, who do I ask?"

"Oh, I remember, I asked my wife to make some lunch at home and go to my house for lunch at noon. On the one hand, it is to thank you for saving James's life, and on the other hand, to thank you for helping the whole village, that half of the mine, but we have been in pain. Steve said.

Xiao Peng sighed: "Then you eat less, don't you have to go home for dinner in a while?" ”

Xiao Peng's words seemed to remind Steve, but he picked up the phone directly: "Hey, Tiffany, don't cook! What? No matter what, you hurry up to the creek in front of Maxim's house to find us." I know it's raining, hurry up, it's definitely worth your trip!"

Xiao Peng: "。。。。。。 "It's not enough for you to eat by yourself, why do you want to form a group?

Not long after Steve hung up the phone, he saw Steve's wife and another woman coming here with an umbrella, and Steve introduced: "This is my wife Tiffany, this is my wife's sister Simon." Xiao Peng hurriedly welcomed, and the two frowned when they saw Xiao Peng and the others eating crayfish: "Can this thing be eaten?"

Steve peeled a piece of shrimp and stuffed it into Tiffany's mouth, and Tiffany's eyes lit up and she began to eat it.

Comparatively speaking, Simon is more receptive, watching how Steve peeled the shrimp meat, he took it out and peeled a crayfish himself, put it in his mouth and tasted it, which couldn't stop. After eating four or five in one go, as if he suddenly remembered something, he reluctantly wiped his fingers and took out his mobile phone: "Husband, I'm here in Maxim, you come over quickly, bring the tent, and bring some wine and food, yes, it's time to party." ”

After a few words, Simon looked at Xiao Peng apologetically: "Xiao, we are like this, don't you mind?"

Xiao Peng was speechless, you made this call, and asked if we mind? How did this become a ladder? On a rainy day, he stepped on a foot of mud to open his body? But he really likes a small town like Zephyr Town, everyone is like a family, and they don't see anyone at all.

It didn't take long to see a pickup truck driving over, and there was a person on the car, Xiao Peng knew him, and after drinking together last night, and after greeting a few people, he moved down the tent tables and chairs from the back compartment: "Steve, help me put up the tent!"

Until the tent was set up and the food was set, Yang Meng hadn't come back to his senses, but Xiao Peng suddenly slapped him: "Dude, go get a small pot over, we can't hold the pot and eat." ”

Yang Meng was stunned: "Why?"

Xiao Peng pointed into the distance, and Yang Meng turned around, happy: I saw seven or eight cars lining up to drive here. Good guys, this is really a party!
