Chapter 11 Crayfish

Sitting by the river, Su Yanniang didn't want to stop for a moment, she put the bamboo basket on her back, opened the lid, and put the bamboo basket into the water.

"Sister-in-law, this ......" After a while, a large number of things with two big tongs hooked the bamboo basket, Lan Yaoyao saw that the sister-in-law was struggling to pull the bamboo basket, she quickly put down the bamboo basket on her back, ran to Su Yanniang's side, and also stretched out two hands to help pull the bamboo basket.

"It's okay, I say one, two, three, let's work together." Lan Yaoyao nodded, although she didn't know what this thing could do, but her sister-in-law must have her thoughts when she did this.

"Okay, these bites hurt a lot, bring your bamboo basket." They can't carry them on their backs, they can only carry them, and now a frame is too heavy, so Su Yanniang wants to divide these crayfish into two.

Yes, this is the legendary crayfish, especially the crayfish that eats rice water, it is simply a delicacy in the world. She had seen the old imperial chef before, and her favorite thing was to eat crayfish, and the family specially opened up a piece of land to grow rice to feed crayfish.

And because she is considered an ominous blade and a broom star, the most work she does is to help deal with these things in the kitchen, and because she doesn't understand at the time, she was pinched by the crayfish's pincers a few times.

"Mmmm, sister-in-law, can you eat this?" Lan Yaoyao had a question on her face, she was really curious, as if since her brother became a soldier, her sister-in-law has become very powerful and understands everything.

"I don't know for the time being, I'll try it when I go home." In fact, they can't say that they can get it, and the two carefully moved these crayfish home.

Looking at the sun in the sky, it had already begun to tilt westward, "Yaoyao, cut half of the bacon here, you go to Uncle Li's house in front to exchange for some rice." "Su Yanniang is also choking today, she doesn't have so much energy, especially when she has just been seriously ill, she has to take care of her spirits.

"Sister-in-law, what about the family?" Lan Yaoyao knew the embarrassment at home, but if the meat was changed, then tomorrow's rice would not be enough.

"It's okay, you can go." Su Yanniang gritted her teeth secretly, she would definitely be able to hold it up, she would not admit defeat so easily, she had just taken the four girls away from the fire pit, but she couldn't turn her head and push her into the fire pit again.

The kitchen is too small, those two baskets of crayfish, need a lot of links, Su Yanniang can only sit in front of the water tank, quickly process the crayfish, she now only has the simplest seasoning at home, so she can only try it first, if you can eat it, this may be a way to make money.

As soon as she thought of this, what kind of illness and pain, she didn't feel it anymore, some of them were these small things in front of her, handled well, and got rid of those bad ones, she carefully brushed and brushed, washed twice, and finally washed it.

On the other side, Lan Yaoyao had already changed the rice and came back, "Sister-in-law, Uncle Li gave me half a catty more." According to his own bacon, Uncle Li only gave two catties, but Uncle Li of the rice shop also knew the difficulties of the Lan family, he took advantage of his mother-in-law's lack of attention, and added extra spoons, a big spoon is a catty, half a spoon is half a catty, Lan Yaoyao almost trotted all the way back.

"That's good, don't be afraid, we can eat rice until tomorrow morning." Tomorrow morning, you can make some steamed buns and boil some thin rice porridge.

"Mm-hmm, sister-in-law, I'm going to wash rice." Lan Yaoyao never asked Su Yanniang what those things were, she was very well-behaved and kind.

Su Yanniang also couldn't stop her hands, fortunately she didn't bring a lot, look at that amount, it was only three or four catties, she took a lot of time to deal with it, and when she was done with it, she was already sweating profusely, the sun had already set westward, and the blue sky was stained with a layer of gray.

Putting the cleaned crayfish on the large plate, she moved into the kitchen with great force, "Sister-in-law, do you want to prepare anything?" Lan Yaoyao has never seen this thing, even if she wants to help, she can't start, but she is not afraid of the unknown, and she takes the initiative to help, this is progress.

"No, you go and rest for a while, and you'll be able to eat soon." Su Yanniang remembers the method very clearly, she has studied it before, and she believes that even if there are not many seasonings, she can do it well.

The most critical step in making crayfish is cleaning, she has already brushed it with a small brush, and by the way when brushing, the thread is removed, so that the speed is much faster.

And then the next thing is pickling, in fact, seriously, many people say that living creatures should be eaten directly in the pot, but after learning to cook, Su Yanniang feels that these are actually more suitable for pickling, that is, pickling for a while and then putting it in the pot, that kind of deliciousness is more flavorful, which not only tastes good, but also locks the umami.

Taking a large basin, she poured all the crayfish into it, then took out the salt, sprinkled it carefully, and went out to pick a few sprigs of perilla, and garlic, and that's it. This is not the old imperial chef's house, he has everything there.

After marinating for about a quarter of an hour, Su Yanniang raised the fire on the stove and set up the cauldron.

The corners of his mouth hooked a smile, such a life, although the future is full of hardships, but there is hope to live. What happened to the old imperial chef's mansion in front of her eyes was a life without expectations and life.

The fire is strong enough, and the oil temperature is enough, so the crayfish in the big pot are poured down in one go, "Whoa!" "The collision of hot and cold makes a delicious sound.

She quickly flipped the crayfish, and at once, it was really sick like a mountain, and the illness went like a thread, she remembered that when she was serving the eldest lady, one of the things that the eldest lady liked to grind her the most was to let her read, and kneel down if she misread a word. She can understand some literary crepe words, and this is how she is forced to remember.

Her lips were white and she was sweating profusely, but her hands were completely unaffected, and she found that as soon as she picked up a spatula, she could forget many unhappy things, and then she could be full of energy.

After a while, bursts of incense wafted out of the small kitchen, Lan Xiuwu and Lan Yao had already returned, and he stood directly at the kitchen door with his son in his arms, staring at the pot and swallowing saliva.

Because he saw that Su Yanniang was doing something serious, he didn't dare to bother. And Lan Xiuwen finished his homework, helped his sister pack up the sewn clothes, and put away the radishes and dried vegetables that were drying at home.

"Sister-in-law, this ...... That's the ones you just made? Lan Yaoyao was a little incredulous, she picked up one with chopsticks, this thing can be eaten, she has never eaten it.

"Haha, sister-in-law, this is so delicious, I want to eat an extra bowl of rice tonight." Lan Xiuwu didn't care about the food at home, and he never came back with the silver, but he ate the most.

"You can eat this as much as you want, and you can only have one bowl of rice per person today." Su Yanniang spoiled him too much before, resulting in this guy having no sense of responsibility at all, and he could do whatever he wanted, which was simply a drag.

"Ahh A short exhalation, "Sister-in-law, are you telling the truth?" Lan Xiuwu almost jumped up excitedly, this was the first time that he could eat with his belly open, to be honest, he was really a little excited.

"Dad, I want to eat." Lan Xiuwu has always taken care of himself when eating, even Lan Yao forgot about it, he chewed the rice slowly, looking at the red things on the stage, it must be delicious to make my father so excited.

"Come, Lan Yao will come to Uncle Niang, Uncle Niang will teach you to eat." Since the father couldn't take care of his son, Lan Yao also hugged his bowl and ran to Su Yanniang's side.

"You see, there are shells on the outside, and these two are not to be eaten, and then the shells are peeled off, and the shells of the heads are also removed, so that they are meat." Putting the meat into Lan Yao's bowl, she sandwiched another one, "Come on, you can try it too." Compared with Lan Xiuwen's silent eating, Su Yanniang's side is much more lively.

After all, they had never eaten this thing, Lan Yaoyao had already come over to see it, Lan Xiuwu also stared at it with wide eyes, and he turned around to tell his daughter-in-law.

"Okay, eat this slowly, and you can figure out a way." With a smile on her face, Su Yanniang looked at her family members who were working hard to eat, this feeling was happiness.

"Xiuwen, you can eat more." Although I don't know what crayfish supplements, but this is a fresh thing, and it is the first time to eat it, Lan Xiuwen really doesn't dare to eat it indiscriminately.

"Uh-huh, sister-in-law, you eat too." Lan Xiuwen sandwiched a few, and also learned from Su Yanniang's appearance just now, eating slowly, and it was really delicious.

After a while, the bowl bottomed out, and a large plate of crayfish was also eaten, and they licked their fingers unsatisfied, "Sister-in-law, it's so delicious, can you continue to eat tomorrow?" "Such cheeky words, as soon as I heard it, I knew that it was Lan Xiuwu who asked.

"Second brother, since the second brother and sister didn't come back, then you are responsible for washing the dishes." The lazy life must be stopped immediately, and the idea of getting something for nothing must not breed in this family.

"Huh?" Lan Xiuwu obviously didn't react, what does this mother-in-law have to do with him wanting to wash the dishes if he didn't come back, and he didn't see his mother-in-law washing the dishes before.

"Oh, no matter what, everyone has to help with the work, you have all seen the situation at home, we have to work together." After saying this, Lan Xiuwen quickly glanced at Su Yanniang, and then lowered his head again.

"No, no, sister-in-law, how can this be?" Lan Xiuwu originally wanted to talk about his legs with confidence, but he felt that his younger brothers and sisters were in front of him, and if he said so, it would be too shameless.

So he could only look sad and look at his legs out of the corner of his eye. Su Yanniang fully knows the virtue of the second child, "It's okay, it's okay if you don't work, let's split up, the third uncle and sister-in-law are still on unmarried leave, I'm no problem raising it, but you ......" As soon as these words came out, Lan Xiuwu immediately stepped forward one by one.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I'll do it, really, I can do it."
