Chapter 422: Tasting Crabs
"What else to see, catch crabs! Do you want to eat it at noon? Zhao Li smiled at the little stone and the little fish.
He is really looking forward to tomorrow's visit, Jin Lao is a gold-level master, so he should know more about the inner world!
"Brother Zhao, do we really want to eat this?" Xiao Shi raised a multi-legged crab in his hand with a bitter face.
"You can wait until you don't eat!" Zhao Litou didn't reply, he took a fancy to a crab and stepped on it quickly, then turned it over and slowly tied it up with bark.
"See if you don't, tie them all up like I did," Zhao Li said, lifting the bark in his hand.
"Okay!" Xiao Shi wanted to say that if he didn't eat it, he wouldn't eat it, but after thinking of Brother Zhao's magic, he didn't say it in the end.
The three of them caught a total of five, just one for each of the five people.
When Zhao Li walked through the village with a small stone and a small fish carrying a crab and a smile, he attracted one surprised gaze after another.
"Is there anyone who eats this ghost turtle, the little stone is getting more and more mixed up, and he follows this human race every day, and it is rumored that this human race is a silver-level master, will a silver-level master eat this?"
"Yes, no matter how poor people are, no one eats this thing, it looks so terrible, and there is no meat, and the smell is fishy!"
"Terran, Terran can have silver-level masters, you can know at a glance that it is fake, you see that Shanbo is also a Terran and not an ordinary person!"
The strange gaze along the way made Xiao Shi eager to find a crack in the ground to drill down, and Xiao Yu also lowered his head and blushed embarrassedly and followed behind Zhao Li.
Zhao Li did look like a nobody, and nodded to the villagers from time to time to say hello, as if he didn't see the strange eyes of others.
Seeing that it was getting closer and closer to Shanbo's house, Xiaoshi and Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief together!
"Brother Zhao. I'll tell you you you can't eat this ghost fish, look at it, the three of us were almost laughed to death by the people in the village! Little Stone complained.
", we won't eat when others laugh at us, what does it matter to them that we eat this," Zhao Li said angrily.
"Small stones. Today, my brother will teach you a rule of survival, that is, you should have thick skin, the thicker your skin, the longer you live, the more moisturized your life, don't let others laugh at you, you won't do it, so you can't do anything. I finally know why no one eats such a good crab, because you people are afraid of being laughed at, but that's fine. If others don't eat such a good thing, I can eat more! ”
Zhao Li saw the strange gaze in the village, and he also heard the gossip of the villagers, but he still didn't hear it, joke, do I still need to care about the thoughts of your villagers.
"Ahh I'm going to eat it in the future! Little Stone's face became bitter.
Even Xiao Yu was frightened, and looked at Zhao Li in a daze, not knowing what he was.
"Of course," Zhao Li carried the two crabs back to Shanbo's yard with a look of certainty.
"Huh. Everyone's back! When the voice came from the courtyard, Shanbo knew that Zhao Li was back, so he quickly put down the carpenter tools in his hand and greeted him. But when he walked to the door, he was also startled by the crabs in the hands of several people.
"Ah, why did you catch so many ghosts and come back,"
"Uncle Shan, I didn't expect the crab in the inner world to be so big, this is a good thing, it's strange if the people in the village don't know. Then you should know, why does everyone say that you can't eat it! Zhao Li asked curiously.
"Huh! Come in and talk about it! Samber stepped out of the way.
After a few people put the ghosts into the kitchen, they found a place in the living room and sat down. Only then did Shanbo begin to speak.
"If you hadn't brought these ghost turtles back, I really forgot that ghost turtles could eat them, and in the United States, they basically ate beef. Americans are not interested in fish, let alone this kind of crab with many shells, so at most, I have eaten it a few times after I first came in, and I have never eaten it again! Besides, this thing doesn't make it well, it really smells fishy! ”
"So that's the case, I forgot that you are half a foreign devil!" Zhao Li nodded understandingly: "You are really pitiful, what is good in the United States, what do you want to eat, or our Huaxia is good, let me tell you that there is a god-level chef who lives near my Confucian Academy, he is a person who has stepped into the kitchen road, once I caught a big scorpion and asked him to make it, almost swallowed his tongue, wait for me to cook and let you people taste the power of our Chinese cuisine!" ”
"Of course, I've been to the United States for more than ten years, plus I've been in this world for more than 20 years, and I haven't tasted Chinese food for more than 30 years, but these five guys are so big, we don't seem to have such a big pot in our family!" Shanbo also came to his senses when he heard Zhao Li say this, but unfortunately he looked at the five big guys and realized that there was no such a big pot.
"Ah, no pot," Zhao Li was also a little dumbfounded.
Those five guys are indeed a little bigger, but what can they do if they don't have such a big pot, can they only be boiled one by one, and when will they have to be cooked?
"Who would prepare that kind of cauldron, there are already in the village, but if you borrow the pot because of boiling ghosts, you won't be laughed to death!" Shanbo was also a little embarrassed.
"In this way, then do you have iron ore, if so, I will come directly to refine a pot!" Zhao Li said in a deep voice.
I never thought that one day, in order to eat, I would use the skill of refining tools to refine the pot of stir-frying, which would be strange if the cultivator saw it and didn't laugh and break his stomach.
"Of course there is iron ore, Zhao Li, do you still know how to refine weapons? Aren't you a Confucian disciple, how can you do anything! Sambo was shocked.
"Go, in your eyes, I'm a nerd, right," Zhao Li said angrily: "If you have iron ore, don't go and get some back!" ”
"Little stone, hurry up and go to your Uncle Dazhu's house to carry some iron ore back!" Shanbo also hurriedly commanded.
"Okay, Sambo!" The little stone replied and hurried out.
"Brother Zhao, drink water!" Xiao Yu saw that the house was quiet, and came out and poured a glass of water for Zhao Li.
"Okay, thank you!" Zhao Li took it casually.
"Alas, my daughter turned her arms out when she grew up, and I don't have any water to drink as a father, so you kid has to drink it!" Shanbo blew his beard at Zhao Li and glared.
Seeing that his daughter has been revolving around Zhao Li these days, he can't help but be jealous! Although Zhao Li's kid is good. But as a father's natural object to his daughter, he can't see it.
"Phew!" Zhao Li almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of water. He glared at Sambo fiercely. What kind of person is this, my daughter's joke is also going to be made.
When Xiaoyu was told by his father, his shy eyes only looked at his own toes.
"By the way, what about my aunt, why don't you see anyone!" Zhao Li drank water and looked into the house a few times.
"Wandering around the village, you won't come back until you get your meal!" Sambo said as he worked on the wood in his hand.
In this way, the two chatted in the house without a word. Luckily, the speed of the small stone is okay. In about half an hour, I came back with a basket of iron ore.
"Okay, little stone, your task is complete, and I'll take care of the rest!" Zhao Li checked the iron ore in the basket and found that the iron content was not bad, and this basket had more than 100 catties, at least dozens of catties of iron could be smelted, and it was enough to make a pot.
Shan Bo also put down the tools in his hand, and watched with Xiao Yu and Xiao Shi how Zhao Li refined the weapon.
I didn't know that Zhao Li didn't make any moves, and the fire didn't rise. I saw a piece of iron ore fly up automatically, and some stone chips and iron slag were directly squeezed to the ground, and after a while, a piece of iron ore the size of a head saved only a fist-sized piece of pure iron.
"Ah, this is the refiner! Don't you need to start a fire? Shanbo still couldn't believe it, and picked up the iron piece that Zhao Li put aside.
"Otherwise, how mysterious do you think the refining tool is, I am heart refining, of course, there is fire refining, that is the refining method of Taoism and Buddhism, we Confucianism only have heart refining." As Zhao Li spoke, one by one, the iron ore was refined by him like this.
Finally all the iron ore is smelted. All the pieces of iron flew up again, and slowly formed a cauldron under Zhao Li's heart.
"Bell. Clang! After finishing, Zhao Li knocked and said with a wicked smile.
"Okay, it's completely enough, it's just a bit heavy, enough for your family for decades!"
"Go, I have a small pot at home. This cauldron can't be used a few times in decades! "Shanbo doesn't have a good airway.
"Let's go, I'm going to make my crabs, Xiaoyu, you hurry back and call your mother back, otherwise she won't be able to eat the peerless deliciousness!" Zhao Li smiled and carried the pot into the kitchen.
First of all, the five large crabs were vigorously brushed with water, and finally put them in a large pot and boiled them in clean water.
An hour later.
Shanbo's family sat at the table in a daze. There was also a red crab in front of everyone.
Mrs. Shan swallowed her saliva and said, "Zhao Li." Eat it like this, no spices, no salt, are you sure you can cook? ”
No wonder she thinks so, she used to put a lot of spices and still had a bit of a fishy smell. Like Zhao Li, she really didn't dare to do anything about boiling it with water.
The other three also looked at Zhao Li in a daze. No one dared to be the first to do it.
"Look at what I'm doing, do it! This crab is the best to boil in water, and if you put the seasoning, it will destroy the umami, and you used to feel fishy because your firepower was not big enough, and the crab is so big, and it is really not cooked inside, so it smells fishy, but I am different. Everyone, try it! Zhao Li said as he opened his crab shell.
"Whew, good guy, such a big crab paste," Zhao Li's eyes lit up suddenly. I picked up the chopsticks and ate them.
The other four people did look at Zhao Li's expression.
"It's delicious, it's delicious," Zhao Li felt that it tasted much better than the crabs on the earth. Especially the crab roe. A feeling of saying no came from the tongue.
"Is it really that delicious?" Shanbo glanced at Zhao Li suspiciously.
Also the second opened the crab shell. Took the first bite. Under the stares of the three dumbfounded, he immediately started the second bite, and then he couldn't stop!
At this time, the three of them couldn't help it, and opened the crab shell one by one and ate it.
"It turns out that the ghost fish is so delicious, why did I never know it!" Xiao Shi's head was already lying on the table at this time.
"Alas, the loss of deliciousness is all caused by rumors in the village!" Mrs. Mountain also said with a look of pity.
The crabs weighing several pounds were eaten cleanly in this way, and in the end, even the meat in the legs was gnawed clean. (To be continued.) )
