Shen Lan picked up the fish and shrimp first, there are not many shrimp and they are not big, the fish are mainly some miscellaneous fish, about the length of the index finger, after Shen Lan quickly cleaned up the small fish, he put the fish and shrimp in bowls respectively, as for the snails, Shen Lan first scrubbed them, rubbed off the green clothes on them, and then raised them with buckets, and put the clams in to raise them together.

After getting these, Shen Lan began to prepare to make the mussel shell, this mussel shell is very large and very dark in color, it looks like it has been some years, and I don't know if the meat in it will not taste good because of this.

Shen Lan didn't know how to open the mussel shell, so she simply took a stone and knocked it on the mussel shell with a "pop", and the mussel body was smashed out of a few cracks, and the transparent liquid flowed out from somewhere, Shen Lan then smashed it a few times, and finally the shell on one side was smashed by her, and at this time Shen Lan went to pick up those fragments.

Slowly picked up the fragments, revealing the mussel meat inside, Shen Lan directly reached out to pull the mussel meat, and suddenly felt that his fingers touched a hard object, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and then reached out and pulled the mussel meat out of the other half of the mussel shell, so at the same time Shen Lan turned the mussel meat over, and sure enough, he saw a film wrapping things.

It was a thumb-sized crystal bead, round and translucent, very good-looking, it turned out to be a freshwater pearl, it didn't seem to be a small year, at least it was bigger than the pearls that Shen Lan had seen in the shop that sold pearl mussels before, and the gloss and color were very good, it seemed to be a good pearl.

"Sister, what is this? It's so beautiful, give it to Wei Niang. Shen Wei, who was squatting on the side to watch Shen Lan deal with the clam shell, saw this pearl at a glance and immediately liked it.

Shen Lan was still in shock, but Shen Wei's words at the moment woke her up, and she pretended to speak calmly: "No." What if you swallow it? Besides, I don't know what this thing is, so the eldest sister will take it first. ”

It is not an uncommon thing for freshwater mussels to produce pearls, Shen Lan has also visited the cultivation process of pearl mussels before, so she naturally knows how pearls are formed, and the pearl in Shen Lan's hand must be not small, and the shape is also very good, even in her original world, it is also a very precious pearl. But he didn't think that Shen Lan would dig out of a big mussel shell.

Think of it as a pearl that occasionally falls into the grit of a mussel shell. Because it is occasional, there is only one such one, not dozens of pearls in a pearl mussel like in later generations. Perhaps because of the small number, all the nacree secreted by the mussel shell is wrapped in this pearl, which is why it is so big, and this mussel does not know how long it will live. If he hadn't been picked up by Shen Hailing, a foodie, maybe he would still be living in the canal.

Shen Wei didn't protest when she heard Shen Lan say this. Squatted obediently to watch Shen Lan clean up the clam meat, where did Shen Lan actually have the mood to clean up the clam meat at this time, such a baby fell into her hand, and her heart jumped out of her chest so fast. can continue to clean up the mussel meat so calmly, it is completely for others to see.

"Eldest sister, what's in the mussel shell?" Shen Lian heard Shen Wei's words. also poked her head out and asked, Shen Lan sat on a small stool and cleaned up the fish and shrimp. And Shen Wei habitually played with her, so she saw the pearl in Shen Lan's hand at a glance, while Shen Lian and Shen Hailing were outside, and when they heard Shen Wei's exclamation inside, they poked their heads in from outside.

"It's nothing, just a stone." Shen Lan replied.

"Hehe, I know it's a stone, what else does Wei Niang like besides a stone?" Shen Hailing also made fun of it, as soon as Shen Wei thought about refuting it, she was stopped by Shen Lan with a look, so at the same time, she found that Shen Lan had an extra banana in her hand, and immediately closed her mouth tightly, she hadn't eaten the fruit that the big sister suddenly took out for several days, and it was rare for the big sister to be in a good mood today, so she took one for her, so she naturally had to be obedient.

Shen Lan silently motioned for Shen Wei to go to the back of the house to eat, Shen Wei nodded, and walked out of the house lightly, hid in the vegetable garden behind to peel off the banana peel, and ate it into her mouth after three or five to two, the sweet and soft taste was so good.

Shen Lan casually stuffed the pearl into her sleeve, and the inside of her sleeve was sewn. Bag, this is naturally learned from watching TV, I always see costume TV series, people take things out of their sleeves, and she also tried to turn things out of the sleeves, so she simply sewed a pocket in it, so that naturally things will not fall, and it is also relatively secret, so at this time she put the pearl into the pocket in the sleeve.

Simply cleaned up the mussel meat, Shen Lan first cleaned it with water, and then grabbed a small pinch of salt to scrub the mussel meat, if the mussel meat is to be washed with salt, and then blanched after washing, as for the source of salt, it was Shen Lan who developed a small salt pan by the sea, that is, he dug a flat puddle by himself, paved stones at the bottom of the pit, and then spread sand on top, and the top was paved with pebbles. It's much easier than boiling salt.

Moreover, because Shen Lian often takes her younger siblings out to play wildly, and occasionally goes up the mountain to collect firewood, etc., she leaves Shen Lan a lot of time, plus she herself is also a month old, and a lot of time is spent in space, plus the time of space, at this moment she is not six months at all but more than nine months, and she may have children at any time, and the time in the space, in addition to harvesting grain, fruits, etc., is also used by her to make salt, so Shen Lan has ready-made salt at home.

When blanching, Shen Lan poured some liquor into the pot, which Shen Lan specially bought, mainly because Shen Lan felt that she often had to cook some river fresh food and seafood, and the wine could remove the fishy smell, of course, it was best to use rice wine, but Shen Lan was very depressed and found that there was no place to sell rice wine, so she had to buy liquor and come back to make do with it.

Because it is best to blanch the river fresh in cold water, so Shen Lan directly put the river mussels into the water, and then went to the stove to make a fire, and the fire was burned, Shen Lan got up and returned to the stove, and Shen Wei also ate the banana and entered the house, seeing that her eldest sister was cooking, she obediently sat behind the stove to help light the fire, so that Shen Lan could concentrate on cooking.

Soon the mussels were packed out, and Shen Lan went to pick up the basket of vegetables, which contained a basket of vegetables, which did not grow in the vegetable garden behind, but Shen Lan took them out of the space, threw them into the vegetable basket and shouted outside: "Hailing, help my sister go and wash this basket of vegetables." ”

"Hey." Shen Hailing, who was arguing with Shen Lian in the hall, agreed briskly, and quickly rushed in, took the vegetable basket in his eldest sister's hand, and went out with a small wooden bucket.

After Shen Lan instructed Shen Hailing, she turned around and washed the pot and added water, and then poured the sorghum rice that had been soaked before to prepare for cooking, as I said before, people here are used to blanching rice when cooking, Shen Lan is not cooking rice immediately at the moment, but first boiling rice out of rice soup, and then starting to make vegetables, and finally steaming rice.

After pouring the rice into the pot and covering the lid, Shen Lan went to the pickle jar and touched the pickles, this is not a pickle red in the snow, but a radish sprout pickled, the method is to pull up the radish seedlings that have sprouted to an inch, remove the roots and wash them and put them in a dustpan to dry until they are half dry, chop them and rub them with a small amount of salt, and stuff them into the pickle jar when they are almost sweating, and wait for these vegetables to ferment and mature naturally, and they will become pickles with a unique local flavor, which is a little different from the pickles pickled in the red. Instead, it's a bit like the olive vegetables sold in the supermarket, except that the olive vegetables have a lot of fat, and this little pickle doesn't.

It is washed before pickling, so the pickles do not need to be washed again or cut, as long as the rice soup is drained out, it can be fried in the pot.

At these times, Shen Lan has found a lot of condiments, homemade soy sauce is one of them, the soy sauce made by Shen Lan is not fermented with soybeans, but boiled with a special secret method, this is naturally what she once learned on TV, that is, red yeast rice is made of soy sauce, the main method is to boil the red yeast rice and put it for later use.

This kind of soy sauce is divided into two kinds, one is vegetarian soy sauce, the main material comes from the leftovers of various vegetables, the most important thing is bean sprouts, put these materials in the pot and fry them slightly, then pour in red yeast water, boil for half an hour, of course, add salt according to your own taste, and the other seafood soy sauce is fried with various river fresh and seafood leftovers and bean sprouts, then pour into red yeast water and boil for one to two hours, and then add salt.

When I watched this show at that time, Shen Lan went to buy red yeast rice and came back to make it, and the soy sauce tasted okay, usually these two soy sauces are also used for seasoning at home braised or cold salad, after coming to this world, Shen Lan didn't have time at first, and she didn't have the energy to clean up these things, or later, life was too peaceful, and she also had time herself, and she wanted to get some braised food to eat, so she thought of this.

There is soy sauce and vinegar in this world, but Shen Lan is used to eating this kind of homemade soy sauce, so she has no money to buy it, after all, the price of soy sauce in this world is not cheap, the reason is that soy sauce needs salt in addition to soybeans, salt is too expensive in this world, how can soy sauce made from it be cheap?

Drain the rice, Shen Lan washed the pot, and then prepared to stir-fry, first dug a little lard to moisten the pot, and then poured the pickles and mussel meat into the pot and stir-fried, after frying for a while, add half a bowl of water, put the soy sauce, sugar and salt into the pot respectively, and then cover the pot and simmer, although Shen Lan herself likes to eat, but her cooking skills are not particularly good or particularly good, so she will not be particularly cumbersome and complicated to cook, it is completely commonplace.

It's a joke that she wants to sell the menu at her level, she hasn't even thought about it when she comes through it, as for why the Shen family, including Shen Yunting, thinks that her cooking is delicious, but because she doesn't cook with boiled salt, she still knows some tricks.
