Chapter 854: Crayfish (Part II)
Crayfish, scientific name Cruciferi protocrayton, native to North America, has a super high reproductive ability, can survive in extremely harsh environments, and is hermaphroditic, the fecundity is quite amazing.
And crayfish like to eat fish fry, plankton, and even frogs, rice and wheat roots, and so on.
When Chen Fei was in his last life, crayfish, as a strong invasive species, made many countries suffer, the ecosystem was damaged, the fields and freshwater crayfish were flooded, and other species were difficult to survive.
If the crayfish could speak, it must have waved its big pincers to provoke in front of those countries: "Who else?" ”
But since they entered China, all prestige has been lost almost overnight. Because they met a species even more terrible than them - the Chinese!
Their tragic and tearful discovery that the Chinese are really good at eating! What thirteen spiced crayfish, spicy crayfish, braised crayfish...... You can't eat without it, only you can't think of it.
As a result, the strong invasive species abroad are eaten raw in China and need to be bred in captivity, and they are still in short supply, which is called the most undignified species in history.
No, Chen Fei relied on his experience in catching crayfish in the field when he was young in his previous life, and he had successfully caught seven escaped crayfish in the wheat field.
According to Sun Deyi's rough estimate, dozens of crayfish escaped into the wheat field, and there is still a long way to go compared to the seven crayfish caught by Chen Fei.
You know, England just threw away a few crayfish in the hotel at the beginning, which caused the large-scale invasion of crayfish later, and now dozens of crayfish have escaped, isn't it....... Are there many wild crayfish to eat in the future?
Ahem, I'm a little crooked. Now everyone has not generally accepted the new thing of crayfish, so it is still a great risk to let them grow, Chen Fei decided to control the growth of crayfish as much as possible within the range he can control.
When everyone can generally accept this delicacy, it is not impossible to promote it.
So he took Yin Ping and Sun Deyi to temporarily form a "shrimp trio" to look for traces of crayfish in the wheat field.
It is rare that the color of the crayfish shell is dark black or dark red, which is very similar to the color of the soil, and it is difficult to distinguish when mixed together.
Moreover, crayfish like to burrow, and it is difficult to find them when they burrow into the dirt.
Fortunately, not long after these crayfish escaped from the pond, they can be found in a circle around the wheat field, especially in some places where the wheat stalks have been broken.
With this, Chen Fei successfully found a few "prison escaped" crayfish, Yin Ping and Sun Deyi also gradually found the pattern under the leadership of Chen Fei, but they still couldn't understand that Chen Fei would actually take such a strange creature as food.
However, after thinking about it, it seems that the few crops that Chen Fei made up before were also strangely shaped, and they could not be judged by their appearance, so they accepted it calmly in their hearts and actively cooperated with him to catch crayfish.
In one day, the family made up for the places where the pond was bitten by crayfish pincers, but the area of the whole pond was a bit large, and more than half of the area was not reinforced.
Chen Fei is not in a hurry, and plans to call a few more villagers to help tomorrow and surround the pond.
Next, it's time to reap the results. Today, he, Yin Ping, and Sun Deyi "encircled and suppressed" a total of more than 30 crayfish, which weighed more than two catties, and less than three catties.
The size of the crayfish caught is not very big, about six or seven centimeters long, which is enough to make a pot of "spicy and fragrant crayfish".
Chen Fei rushed back with the barrel. Since the water and soil in this era are very clean, there is no need to worry about pollution. Therefore, the crayfish caught can be cleaned and processed immediately and ready to be served.
Seeing Chen Fei sliding off the head of the crayfish and picking tendons, the people in the family were messy.
My lord....... When will this happen? And it's so skillful that it's not the first time I've seen it.
Of course, it's not the first time, when Chen Fei used to go to school, he ate and drank by himself, and the biggest joy in the summer vacation was to go to the field to fish for crayfish, and then come back to cook and eat by himself. I have a lot of experience in how to deal with crayfish and how to burn them, even after so many years, I still haven't forgotten it.
More than 30 crayfish were dealt with by him in two clicks, and then, he went to the stove to be busy, and a circle of people next to him watched.
I saw Chen Fei preparing ginger, garlic, chopped green onions, red pepper, fennel and other condiments, stir-fried with warm oil, wafting out a rich fragrance, then put in the crayfish and stir-fry, add water after the shrimp shell is fried until it is red, add salt, sugar, garlic and other seasonings, mix well and stuff the lid.
After a while, an unusually strong fragrance wafted out of the pot, causing everyone onlookers to shake their noses and make many introductions, all surprised by the fragrance wafting out.
The so-called judgment of whether a food is good or not is mainly from three aspects: color, flavor, and flavor.
I haven't seen the color, I haven't tasted the taste, but the fragrance is definitely qualified, not only qualified, but you can give a full score.
They had never smelled such a fragrant dish in their lives!
According to their experience, if the dishes made by Chen Fei smell good, they must taste very good, which has almost become a law.
It's hard to imagine that a person who is less than twenty years old can have so many unbelievable skills, is it really the reincarnation of an immortal?
After the pot was stuffy for a while, and the fragrance became stronger and stronger, Chen Fei lifted the pot, sprinkled some fresh ingredients similar to MSG, and then covered the pot and smothered for a while.
When the lid is opened again, the fresh and red crayfish are already freshly baked. The crayfish, which used to look a little scary, is now bright red, both in terms of fragrance and vision, tempting people to eat it.
Regardless of the hot hand, Chen Fei took out a crayfish with chopsticks and blew it for a long time, peeled off the shell, dipped the tender meat in the soup, and then threw it into his mouth.......
Hemp! Hot! Fresh! Fragrant! That's the smell! What's so cool? Chen Fei was fascinated, stretched out his hand, and another crayfish was peeled clean and thrown into his mouth.
"It's so exciting! It's still the same smell! It's still so cool! "Being able to eat spicy crayfish in the Tang Dynasty, such an unbelievable thing, he actually did it, and he wanted to cry excitedly.
After eating four or five crayfish in one go, he noticed the drooling people around him who were staring at him, and finally... None of the others ate it, and he swallowed all the crayfish alone......
It's not correct to say that he swallowed alone, because he shared it with his father, Linchuan, Yan Yun'er, Yin Ping, and Ying'er.
Seeing crayfish, several girls refused at first and refused to eat such "ugly" food. But after Chen Fei was coaxed, he took a bite and then ...... And then there was no one else to share, and the whole was divided by a few girls! They didn't get a bite of it later!
Sure enough, women are fickle! It's so unbelievable!
