"Wow! Grandpa is so good, he can make fish baskets, and grandma is also very good, she can make curtains. ”

Zhang Xiaoxue thought that her grandparents were really versatile.

"Haha, when your grandfather comes back, I will tell him that his granddaughter has praised him, and your grandfather will be very happy. Grandma said with a smile.

"Grandma, I'm going to play. ”

"Okay, slow down, don't go to the deep water, just on the edge of the river. Grandma didn't forget to instruct.

"Well, Grandma, I see, I'm just playing by the river. ”

Zhang Xiaoxue went home again, found two bones and threw them in the fish basket, and took a wooden basin to prepare for fish and shrimp.

On the way, they met Huzi's group of children, they saw the fish basket in Zhang Xiaoxue's hand, and they knew that Zhang Xiaoxue was going to the river to catch fish and play, and a group of hula people came up and wanted to go to catch fish with Zhang Xiaoxue.

"Why don't you play with Bin'er, is he alone at the foot of the mountain?" asked Zhang Xiaoxue.

"Brother Bin'er didn't wait for the chickens and rabbits to eat and didn't change places, we didn't want to play there, so we came back, only the pillar was still there to play with him. ”

Huzi hurriedly explained, saying that they still had one person playing with Bin'er, and their small gang did not abandon Bin'er.

Zhang Xiaoxue got the answer she wanted, so she went to the river with these children, and when she was on the way, these little guys were quite eye-catching, one helped Zhang Xiaoxue take the fish basket, and the other took the wooden basin.

When you get to the river, you put a stone in the basket so that it can sink to the bottom of the river, and after you put the basket in the river, all that's left is to wait.

A few children are not idle, and of course they don't do nothing and play with rocks by the river.

After a while, they pulled out a crab, Zhang Xiaoxue saw that the crab was not small, and quickly asked them to put the crab in the wooden basin.

"Sister Xiaoxue, why did you put the octopus in the wooden basin?" asked Xiao Hammer puzzled.

"It's good to take it home and cook it. Zhang Xiaoxue replied.

The people here called the crab an octopus, and needless to say, the people here must have never eaten a crab either.

Hearing Zhang Xiaoxue reply that they would take it home and cook it, they were all very surprised, such an ugly octopus, is it delicious? But thinking that Zhang Xiaoxue's food is so delicious every time, they also believe it a little.

"Sister Xiaoxue, what does this octopus monster taste like?" Bao'er tilted her head and asked Zhang Xiaoxue.

The other children were also waiting for Zhang Xiaoxue's answer, and they also wanted to know if such an ugly octopus was delicious.

"This octopus-clawed monster you are talking about tastes very delicious, but it is delicious, or you can catch some more, I made it at noon and you can taste it, I guarantee that you will like this food." ”

Zhang Xiaoxue didn't correct them for calling crabs octopus, not wanting to be too different from them.

As soon as these boys heard that Zhang Xiaoxue invited them to taste this food, Zhang Xiaoxue's cooking must be delicious anyway, and they began to be very active in catching the octopus.

As soon as the children were enthusiastic, they quickly filled the wooden basin, and there were so many crabs on the river, probably because there was no one to eat them.

The tub was a little full, and the crabs kept crawling out, and they found a large leaf to cover it, and pressed it with a stone.

There were three people who volunteered to send the crabs to Zhang Xiaoxue's house first, and someone ran errands, and Zhang Xiaoxue was naturally willing.

The three of them got Zhang Xiaoxue's consent, one of them held the basin, and the two of them pressed the leaves one by one, and sent the crabs to Zhang Xiaoxue's house like that.

It was Yuan Lei who entertained them, poured the crab into a wooden barrel and found a stone slab to cover it, Yuan Lei listened to them, Zhang Xiaoxue said that this octopus monster was very delicious, out of absolute trust in his sister, he still had some expectations in his heart.

When the three of them came back this time, in addition to the wooden basin, they also brought a wooden bucket, and here Zhang Xiaoxue had already taken out the fish basket from the river, and there were really a lot of small fish and shrimp in the fish basket.

Now that the wooden basin has been brought back, Zhang Xiaoxue poured all the fish and shrimp in the fish basket into the wooden basin, and then put the fish basket into the river.

When Zhang Xiaoxue walked back, the wooden basin and barrel were basically full, and this time the harvest was really a lot.

When I go back, because the small fish is the most troublesome to handle, so everyone handles the small fish together, remove all the head and internal organs of the small fish, marinate it with salt for a while, and then wrap it in the batter batter mixed with egg liquid, and fry the small fish to eat.

The shrimp made first, Zhang Xiaoxue made salt and pepper shrimp, after it was done, Zhang Xiaoxue tasted one, it was really delicious, and everyone will definitely like this dish very much later.

Then the pickled fish was fried, and the fish was fried very crispy, and the fish bones in the fish could be eaten, so fragrant.

In the end, I did what they said about the octopus, so many people, and there was a lot of food, Zhang Xiaoxue didn't bother much, just steamed the crab, steamed it in the pot for seven minutes, and the crab meat at this time was the most delicious, and Zhang Xiaoxue adjusted the ginger vinaigrette again.

After steaming the crabs, Zhang Xiaoxue put them in a clay pot and brought them out, and a few little guys in the yard saw that the finished crabs turned into a red color.

"Wow, sister, why did the octopus turn red?"

Bin'er also came back, and when she saw that the crab in the clay pot had turned red, she asked Zhang Xiaoxue in surprise.

"Hehe, this octopus turns red like this when it's heated, and shrimp are like this. ”

Zhang Xiaoxue can only answer like this, she doesn't know that the pigment area of the shrimp and crab exoskeleton contains a kind of protoastaxanthin, which belongs to carotenoids, which is originally orange-red, but can be combined with different kinds of proteins, and will become red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet and other colors. When denatured or separated from the original astaxanthin, the color changes to the original orange-red, so after the shrimp and crab are cooked, the protein is destroyed, and the shell of the shrimp and crab will turn red.

"Oh!"

"Alright, let's come and eat crabs while it's hot. ”

"I mixed the ginger vinaigrette, and the crab will taste better with this ginger vinaigrette. Zhang Xiaoxue beckoned everyone to eat crabs.

No one had ever eaten a crab, and when one person took a crab, he didn't know where to put his mouth.

Hehe, Zhang Xiaoxue saw it, and she didn't say much, she picked up a crab, broke the shell of the crab with her hands, turned the crab over, and broke off the crab's navel, because the crab intestines in the crab navel are all dirty and inedible.

Zhang Xiaoxue took a female crab, and after the crab shell was opened, the crab stomach in the crab cover was first removed, and then the crab roe in the crab cover was taken, and the ginger vinaigrette was dipped in the prepared ginger vinegar sauce before eating it in the mouth.
