Chapter 428: Big Lobster
Weida was in a good mood, the fat son and Angela reached a consensus, and the mother and son were also happily playing games with Pooh with the big guy. Even at this time, the little guy rarely thinks of his brother and sister, and he usually doesn't have enough time to play, that is, when he is free, he remembers that his brother and sister are actually a little cute.
"Ryan, I've told you many times, don't drag your brother's neck like this, your brother will be very uncomfortable." The little guy and Wei Da have learned badly, although they don't like others and always kiss themselves, but the little guy likes to pout and kiss others; Seeing the chubby younger brother sitting stupidly on the blanket, the little guy was a tiger pounced, and when he saw that his younger brother wanted to hide, he stretched out his two little hands and forcefully made his younger brother turn his head.
The little guy was a little embarrassed, the fat brother cried, and the little guy laughed awkwardly; Then it was a direct turn, and the younger brother or sister cried, so that the little one could run as fast as he could. My brother is not cute at all now, and my brother likes to cry so much, it's not fun at all.
"Xiaoli, hurry up and ask grandpa to help you take out the child seat, and dad will take you to buy shrimp and shrimp." Seeing that the fat son seemed to be planning to continue to play with the big guys, Wei Da came out in a BMW MINI, but he remembered his promise to take the little guy to find a lobster.
Crayfish is native to the southeastern United States, so it is also called crayfish. It is native to the Gulf of Mexico, especially in the Mississippi River estuary, so it is also called Louisiana crayfish. Crayfish native to the United States are a cut of the art, and their delicious taste has been developed by the profound Chinese cuisine of the food culture. It blooms everywhere in China and becomes the most famous crayfish.
Xiao Li is now cheering to find his grandfather, although he just wants to wear a seat belt. But Mom and Dad wouldn't agree, so he honestly went to Grandpa to ask for a child safety seat.
"Dad, is it okay for Xiaoli to raise a big lobster?" The fat son said while drinking milk, the little guy must be restless, and now he has come up with a game that looks good, "I want to raise a big lobster, and then bathe and brush the big lobster every day." Take it for a walk."
Wei Da is full of black lines, this is the standard model of raising horses, this is because the fat son is very enthusiastic about Chiji's child White Rabbit. This is Weida reminding the little one that it is not easy to take care of the pony. But now it doesn't seem to be the case at all, the little guy actually thought of raising the lobster in the first place, and this little guy is really lawless.
In Louisiana, two species of crayfish are abundant – crayfish and whitewater crayfish; Crayfish are abundant in wild habitats such as natural rivers, estuaries, swamps, and lakes. and shrimp farms that are controlled and managed. In the United States. Only the meat of the tail of the crayfish is used for processing. Although chela is delicious, it is rare and difficult to remove. Fresh or frozen tail meat is available in the market, and prices vary depending on the season, and availability.
In fact, there are not many crayfish called crayfish in the United States, anyway, Wei Da is now taking the little guy to find some aquatic stores or supermarkets, but basically failed to find crayfish. Although there are other shrimps, this is not necessarily the spicy crayfish that the little ones like to eat.
"Dad, I love this shrimp." The fat son pointed to a lobster displayed at a restaurant. It is indeed a large lobster, and it still looks very attractive. Because this is the restaurant employee dressing himself up as a "lobster" to sell on the street. Lobster oysters in North America are not expensive. Lobster oysters are a popular food that ordinary people can afford; In a small place like Cape Girardeau, lobsters can also be found in small restaurants.
"Xiaoli, this is not the crayfish you like to eat, it's a big lobster." Wei Da felt that he had to explain it to the little guy, otherwise it would be really difficult to deal with it if he bought it back.
"I just like prawns!" The little guy immediately made up his mind, he felt that these shrimp and shrimp were much bigger than the shrimp caught in Abiline's house, and such shrimp and shrimp must be more delicious, "Dad, we want these shrimp and shrimp, okay?" ”
Seeing that his fat son began to be coquettish, Wei Da naturally agreed; The big lobster is the big lobster, I think the taste won't be too bad.
This is the Maine lobster, which is what many people in the country call the Boston lobster; American consumers refer to the American lobster simply as the Maine lobster, which has two exaggerated claws, although it does look similar to the crayfish, but it is many times larger.
In the United States, the smallest size of a legally caught live lobster is 3.25 inches, which is equivalent to about a pound. The minimum standard is about a pound of weight, so of course it can also explain the size of Maine lobsters, and it is relatively normal for these lobsters to weigh more than two pounds. Among them, Maine lobsters are also graded, and the highest level of Jumbo requires lobsters to have 908 grams and above!
Most of the American lobsters caught by U.S. fishermen are sold in live form to restaurants and supermarkets, but in recent years lobster processing producers have begun to freeze cooked and raw lobsters using cryogenic freezing technology. This kind of product is not much different from the credit quality of live lobsters after cooking, but these techniques are useless for Wei Da, what he needs is live lobsters, these lobsters are to be brought back, or more because Xiao Li, the little guy, likes it.
"In Maine, these lobsters might be four dollars a pound or less, but this is Missouri. Man, you should understand that the farming of these lobsters is not a simple matter, and it is now the off-season. So the price is very reasonable and I am very sincere. The restaurant staff said very seriously, this is also the actual situation.
"I need seven lobsters, of course I only need live lobsters." The fat son had already taken the lobster toy balloons from the restaurant, and these businessmen were very smart because they knew that it was these children who were the ones who made the idea.
"No, mom and dad, grandparents, me and my younger siblings, and the big guy, Pooh, the prince and the prince, and Apollo and Diana." The little one began to criticize Weida. Carefully pinched his big lobster balloon in his hand, and then pulled his little hand to count them one by one, which was to let Dad know.
"Xiao Li. Dad knew that it was seven lobsters. Wei Da smiled and touched the little guy's little head, he was very pleased that the little guy was so sensible, the little guy knew that everyone would share good things.
Maybe the restaurant has a good lobster, but Wei Da feels that the family is not necessarily used to it; Maine lobsters are usually eaten steamed or boiled and dipped in butter. Authentic. The best place to enjoy lobster is the cabin restaurant by the sea, where there is no constraint of a high-end restaurant, and you can safely and boldly "fight"; Yes. Eating lobster is basically two hands in battle, and then dipped in some sauce, which is not in line with Wei Da's habit of eating lobster.
seven large lobsters, each of which was more than a pound and a half; These are all really big guys. Of course, it is indispensable for Wei Da to spend a lot of money. In fact, a pound is about a pound. So seven prawns, that's almost eleven pounds; Six dollars per pound of lobster, that's almost seventy dollars.
Seventy dollars, that's really not a small amount; These seven lobsters are equivalent to nearly 500 yuan, and there are ten burgers and hot dogs in the United States. Weida felt that he was bleeding profusely, and in Abiline's house, the crayfish could not be eaten; But in Cape Girardo, it is not known whether these large lobsters taste good or not. But this is already a sum of money to get out.
The money is spent, Wei Da doesn't care; Seventy dollars is not a small amount. But compared to Wei Da, he is really nothing, he is not a person who is poor and extravagant, but a few dozen dollars is really nothing to worry about for him. The fat son is very happy now, and carefully carries the bag with the prawns with his father, which is enough.
"Xiao Li, our dinner is to eat prawns and shrimps, you have to eat a shrimp and shrimp!" Weida smiled and bent over to carry the lobster out of the restaurant with the little one, though it might make him tired; But there is no way, who made him a father, in order to make the little one happy, he will feel happy when he is tired.
"I'm going to eat two, my brother and sister won't eat meat." The little guy doesn't know how to count yet, so naturally he can't figure out that these lobsters are not actually one person; But the little guy is very happy now, because he bought a big lobster, which is the happiest thing for the little guy, and he is now also ambitious, ready to eat a big dinner.
The happy fat son sat in his child safety seat and muttered happily, the little guy is now also taking the rare initiative to reach out and tie the seat belt, although he does not know how to wear the seat belt yet. Just a few big lobsters, but it does make the little one very excited; It's not just because the little guy now wants to eat the delicious taste of the big lobster, but also because his wish has been fulfilled.
"Grandma, grandma. Come and see, the prawns and shrimp that my dad and I bought! "As soon as he arrived at the farm, the little one began to cheer; Although Angela was sitting on the lawn with her younger brother and sister, it didn't matter to the little one, because he knew that grandma should be nearby and grandma would definitely be able to hear him.
Weida stopped the car funny, Angela was taken by the naughty ghosts in the house; Angela and the children were enjoying the fun of playing on the lawn, this is not a mature lawn, Angela went in with the fence.
"Mom, the prawns and shrimp that my dad and I bought!" The little guy pulled his mother with a treasure, wanting to pull his mother to see the big lobster he and his father bought; As for Dad, let Dad hug his younger brother and sister who can't walk, anyway, my brother and sister don't know what prawns and shrimp are.
Wei Da smiled and hugged Xiaoxin and Xiaoyou, and at this time, he didn't care about walking for a while to get home; Angela and Xiaoli had a heated discussion with the bag containing the lobster, and Wei Da held his son and daughter in his hands. As for the prince, the crown prince, and the big man and Pooh, these guys also know how to follow them home, so don't worry about them.
The son and daughter in his arms are dishonest, stretching out their chubby little hands to grab their father's nose; Wei Dale wrinkled his nose and avoided the little hands, it was such a simple little game that made the children very happy, Wei Da also felt quite happy and happy, and took the children to play games together, which was the most interesting thing Wei Da found. It's like Wei Da doesn't necessarily want to eat lobster, but the children like it, and he thinks it's worth it no matter how far he runs.
"Xiaoyou, you're a girl, you can't be so naughty!" After kissing the little face of the beautiful girl, Wei Da then bit the little fat hand of the little one; The little guy dishonestly wants to pinch his father's nose, which must be 'punished'.
Although Wei Da successfully restrained his daughter, he saw his father biting his sister, and the youngest son screamed and began to pinch his father's nose to avenge his sister. (To be continued......)
