Chapter 46: The Scout
"Well, otherwise why do you think the big families are so particular? It's because they're afraid of death, so they won't let go of any details. Ye Yuran said.
Li smiled "hehe": "It turns out that big families are afraid of death." ”
"They guard the mountains of gold and silver, of course they are afraid, do you think, if you have so many treasures, are you willing to report to the palace of Hades so early, and not stay in the mortal world to enjoy a while longer?"
"Well, if I had so much gold, silver, and jewelry, I wouldn't be happy to go to Hades' Hall so early. ”
While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, they washed the crabs in a bamboo basket.
Li Shi exclaimed: "It's a lot, I must be able to eat enough." ”
Ye Yuran said: "It looks like there are a lot of them, if you cook them in the pot for a while, and make them into food, you will feel that there are fewer of them." ”
Because there is no lard at home, there is no way to boil crab oil, Ye Yuran plans to keep some of it to make crab sauce, and mix the rest directly to make other things into dishes.
She asked Li to go to the vegetable field and try to find as many condiments as possible, although she has not found chili peppers yet, but there are still green onions and ginger, so she can only make a lighter crab sauce without chili peppers.
Taking advantage of the time when Li went to pluck onions and garlic, Ye Yuran called Liu's to come in and burn the fire, boiled the crab that was going to be eaten that day, and she began to peel the rest on the stove.
To peel a crab, you need to open the crab cover, remove the gills, food bags and other dirty things, and remove the crab roe from the crab cover.
The crab cover and crab navel are not needed, but the big claws are wanted, cut off, and put together with the rest of the crab body.
Because there is a garlic mortar at home, she throws it in and pounds it, and mashes all these things - it is rotten, not broken, if the pot is broken, what if it accidentally gets stuck in her throat when she eats it?
This is a huge project, and when Ye Yuran got all this done, Li Shi also came back with onions and garlic.
She glanced at the Liu family who was burning the fire, hum, the sister-in-law looked stupid, and she knew that she was not "pleasing her" her mother while she was away.
Li Shi asked Ye Yuran, "Mother, do you want to wash this?"
"Well, washed it, cut it into everything, cut it short and a squint, about half a hand long. ”
"Okay, mother. Li Shi was very diligent and busy.
Li Shi got it right, Ye Yuran kept some of it, and mixed these things with the crabs, and sprinkled a lot of salt when he mixed them, which made Li feel distressed for a while.
"Get a clean ceramic jar and put it on. Ye Yuran said.
"Okay, mother. Li quickly found a clean ceramic jar and helped cover it, "Is this okay, mother?"
"It's okay to put it in the sun, and it'll be fine in a few days. Ye Yuran was not at ease, so she let her go to her room, and did not forget to explain, it is easy to get sick if you eat this thing before it is ready, don't get sick for greedy food.
Li hurriedly laughed: "Mother, don't worry, I definitely won't steal food, no matter how much I joke, I won't joke with the child in my belly." ”
"Of course I believe you, I'm afraid that others will steal it, you tell everyone, okay, come and help me peel the crabs." ”
"Still want to peel it?" Li Shi was surprised, didn't he get it done?
"There was still some boiling in the pot, which was eaten at night. ”
Li Yixi: "Mother, can I eat it at night?" I know, I am pregnant, I can only taste it, I will taste it." ”
Ye Yuran looked at her with disgust: "I must only taste it, there is not much in the first place, and there is not much left." ”
The reason why Ye Yuran is so relieved that she is not afraid that someone will steal the practice of crab sauce is naturally because the seasoning is insufficient now, and she makes a simple version, even if she makes it, it doesn't taste good.
When there are really conditions in the future, she wants to make something better, and then she will have to be careful about the secret recipe.
After the crab was steamed, she asked Liu and Li to help peel it.
Smelling the fragrance of the crab in his hand, to be honest, let alone the gluttonous Li family, even the Liu family couldn't help but feel a little moved: the ugly eight monsters are cooked, it's so fragrant?!
Li Shi seemed to know what she was thinking, and was still muttering beside her: "Mother said, this thing is no better than fish, pay attention when eating, otherwise you will be easy to get sick if you don't pay attention." ”
Then as if pretending, she told Liu what Ye Yuran told her, half-hidden and half-exposed.
Liu: "......"
No wonder no one dared to eat it before, this is also too particular?
For a farmer like them, how many would be so particular?
Peeling out such a large number of fish, even a big bowl is not satisfied, it is really like what Ye Yuran said, don't look at this thing too much, in fact, the amount is very small.
"Ah, that's a little. Li Shi looked at it, disappointed.
"Then how much do you want to eat?" Ye Yuran commanded them and started the matter of dinner.
Except for this crab, she really doesn't want to interfere with other things, what sweet potato multigrain cakes and the like, it's all up to them to play.
"Mother is not afraid that we will make it delicious and spoil what you make?" Li also asked with a smile.
"It's okay, with this thing, it won't taste any worse. Ye Yuran knew in her heart that her daughters-in-law were not people who couldn't cook, but they didn't have many opportunities to play.
At noon, the Li family is responsible for the wild vegetables, so the Lin family is responsible for dinner.
She received an "order" and quickly took charge of solving the problem of the "dish" in the evening.
Sweet potato multigrain cakes don't need her to make them, Liu's and Liu's are at home, and they have Ye Yuran's guidance, no matter how bad they are, they won't be bad.
Ye Yuran was busy with their work, looking at the sweet potato chips that were still drying in the yard, but they were actually already thinking about the next meal.
She didn't mean the next meal, but she didn't know if she could find anything else to eat besides this batch of sweet potatoes.
Crabs are not sweet potatoes, they can fill their stomachs, they are troublesome to deal with, one is not good and they are easy to get sick, they can only be eaten occasionally as "meat", and they really can't eat more often.
When she went to see the small river ditch today, she noticed that in fact, there were fish shadows in the small river ditch, but it was not easy to catch.
I don't know if the news in ancient times is as accessible as in modern times, Ye Yuran rummaged in the memory of the original owner for a long time, and didn't find any information about fishing nets, only some fishing baskets, fishing rods and the like.
Fishing is the same for thousands of years, the earthworms used, but the fish are not stupid, people are full, who has nothing to run to your fishing rod?
Ye Yuran had never fished before, so she didn't know the specific situation, but she thought, if she could really catch it, the people in Zhujia Village wouldn't be able to fish?
Every year, when the river pond is cleaned, the young people of a village drain the water in the river pond and can enjoy touching the fish, usually depending on their luck.
But how big is the river?
Every year is opened, how many fish can there be? Every household has a point, but in fact, there are not many.
If the fish is big and long, it will be divided into several families, and if the palm is about the same size, the family will be able to get two or three more.
For those who are a little more detailed, eat a few more meals, and for those who are not fine, they will eat it in one meal.
