52. Anyone?
With the mask, Hao Dong's condition is much better, and he finally has the heart to pick up aquatic products. But soon he found out that in fact, his role is more to help judge whether the ingredients are fresh enough, as for what to ask for and how much, in addition to Ergou already has a number of books in the book, Xiao Qi Ye is obviously already confident.
As a result, when they got off the boat, in addition to the content that Hao Dong had originally planned, they took a lot of more things, such as clams, yellow eels, loach and river balls, which were not on the menu drawn up by Hao Dong, but because they looked fresh and big, they also took a lot of them.
In fact, don't talk about Ergou and Qi Jue, even Hao Dong himself didn't plan to make crabs, but after seeing those lively cockroaches, he couldn't help but take some, and planned to go back and eat drunk with white shrimp.
In the end, because they wanted too much, Boss Wang even saved up a car to help them transport their things back together, including those that were originally on the bicycle.
Hao Dong looked at the cart full of things, and was a little worried: "It's impossible to make it all tonight, it's too late." And you can't finish it when you make it, and when you die tomorrow, it's wasted. ”
Qi Jue and Ergou had a rare ambition together: "Barbecue, it's over soon." ”
Hao Dong was speechless for a moment, and at the same time realized that his thoughts were not on the same track as the two guys in front of him. He thinks about how to make the ingredients delicate and delicious, and these two are just thinking about getting them cooked and sending them to the stomach!
By the time they had brought everything back to the hotel, the queen had returned, and was sitting in the lobby waiting for them. Seeing a cart full of ingredients, he reluctantly pressed his temple: "Argo, you pay for these out of your own pocket, and the team will not reimburse you." ”
Now she has a growing sense of weirdness, and her team is gradually falling from the level of a professional expedition to the level of a tour group that conducts food tours.
Ergou had been mentally prepared for this and agreed. While unloading the goods, he went to the room to take the backpack to the queen's room and checked with him what he was going to use for the night.
Because Ergou ran away, it became Hao Dong who supervised the handling work at the door. Fortunately, Ergou called the front desk of the hotel here before he came back and borrowed the stove from the hotel next door from them. You don't have to pile things up in the hotel, you can just take them to the kitchen at the other end.
Qi Jue originally went back to the house - when he picked up the river fresh before, he and Ergou didn't do it by themselves, but it was Hao Dong, because the two of them were very active, basically in addition to looking at the quality of things, they didn't touch those fish, shrimp and shellfish with their own hands - they simply wiped their bodies with tap water, and the fishy smell went into the queen's room.
The queen of the night action will definitely take him or the second dog, and before the queen's patience reaches the limit, he thinks it is better to be a little more active.
Unexpectedly, after sorting out her things, the queen still decided to let Qi Jue go with her at night, after all, they also went there during the day, and Qi Jue was relatively familiar with the terrain there.
As a result, this decision was quickly revised at Ergou's strong request, and at that time he saw the aquatic products to be processed in the kitchen, and learned that Hao Dong was going to prepare such a table of dishes, and someone needed to help.
When it comes to eating, Ergou is definitely the first to rush, but this guy is one thing different from ordinary foodies, that is, he basically won't do it himself if he doesn't have to.
He couldn't say why, he was even the one in charge of logistics in the entire expedition, but when it came to the work in the kitchen, he was definitely the one who couldn't be tough. It's okay to let him give advice on the dishes, but if he wants to do it himself, it's going to kill him.
Speaking of which, the queen is worse than him, he just does the wrong thing, such as undercooked or too salty and bland, but if the queen cooks, they can wait for the kitchen to be redecorated the next day.
At this point, it is a relatively normal one. Before Hao Dong came, in addition to going to the restaurant all the time, occasionally, Qi Jue would also get a little home-cooked noodles or something. It's just that this is really a thing that doesn't match the feeling of his appearance, so he rarely gets to do it.
So when Ergou learned that if it was him and Hao Dong who stayed at night, then he would need to give Hao Dong a hand, his face turned green. Then he immediately went back to the house, insisting that he must be allowed to go on a mission with the queen at night no matter what. Because he hadn't moved in a long time, his joints were going to rust!
Hearing Ergou's words, the queen only felt that her head was getting bigger and bigger, but Qi Jue immediately thought of the carload full of aquatic products that needed to be processed, and she could understand Ergou's mood at the moment. Knowing that Ergou must have secured this mission with him tonight, he didn't have anything to insist on, so he simply flashed out of the house to see what help Hao Dong needed.
At this time, the sky is gradually darkening, and although the small restaurant is not full of friends, seventy percent of the tables are also occupied, and the back kitchen cannot be used for other purposes for the time being. The river fresh food that Hao Dong and the others got back was basically piled up in the backyard, that is, in the open space in front of the big bathroom at the back.
Some of them, which are prone to problems when transported in ordinary buckets, have been frozen by the quick-freezing device on the fishing boat, buried in crushed ice, and stacked in boxes. In addition, those that do not die so easily, such as yellow eels, snails, clams, etc., are kept in water, and it seems that the condition is not so bad at the moment, enough to hold out until the kitchen is free for them to cook.
However, even so, there are still some fish that need to be processed first, and vegetables can be washed first. In addition, the drunken shrimp is more delicious when drunk before eating, but the earlier the cockroach is, the more flavorful it is, so when Qi Jue arrived, he saw that Hao Dong had already made a jar and started to make drunken cockroaches.
The cockroach is also a type of crab, and its appearance is also very similar to that of the blue crab. However, it is not as fleshy and firm as hairy crabs, and the taste is not so delicious. But as long as it's handled properly, it still tastes very good.
The way to eat this thing is not too little, and the area in southern Jiangsu likes to make noodles and drag crabs, so you can use small crabs, or directly use cockroaches.
Split in half and marinate, then roll in the prepared batter and stir-fry in a pan. Add something like edamame soy sauce when stir-frying, and when the flour is almost golden brown, add water and cook it, and it will be a delicious dish when it comes out of the pot. And because of the addition of batter to it, the delicious taste of the crab is absorbed by the batter, and it is often better than the crab itself. Therefore, most people will add a little more batter, and the taste of bibimbap is a must.
However, considering that there are a lot of dishes today, Hao Dong is not going to make this dish that is easy to eat, so he plans to eat it directly.
According to the conventional steps, the drunken crab can be eaten, which takes a week, Hao Dong plans to make a quick version today, and some steps must be changed.
When Qi Jue arrived, he saw Hao Dong splitting crabs.
Originally, the drunken crab did not need to be cut, and the flavor depended on the week of pickling to slowly penetrate in. But now Hao Dong can't wait, so he can only split these cockroaches and split them into small pieces to increase the speed at which the flavor seeps in.
He had already chopped a few of them, and on the table that had been set up improvised in the open air, there were already two pieces of cockroaches in the jar on the left side of the board, and in the bowl on the right were crab legs that had been chopped off in advance—these things, Hao Dong planned to spread on top of the crab meat pieces.
Qi Jue was very conscious, or rather, he had been thinking about the drunken shrimp for a long time. Seeing Hao Dong splitting crabs and figuring out that he was planning to make drunken crabs, he silently bypassed it alone, took a small basin, fished out a pot of white shrimp, soaked it in clean water alone, and began to mix the ingredients of the drunken shrimp.
Hao Dong accidentally raised his eyes and realized what Qi Jue was doing, and was suddenly shocked: "Little Qi Ye? ”
Qi Jue was choosing wine for the drunken shrimp at this time, and a bottle of twenty-year-old daughter red in his left hand - this was a personal gift from Boss Wang to Ergou; The one on the right hand is even more frightening, it is a bottle of 68° Wuliangye - it is also a personal gift from Boss Wang to Ergou.
When Hao Dong saw the wine bottle in Qi Jue's hand, he felt a flower in front of him, this wine should be in their room, obviously Xiao Qi Ye really planned to use it before he brought it out again! But this person really has no sense of value, or what?! I actually plan to make drunk shrimp with such a dead expensive wine! And putting aside the expensive problem, Wuliangye at 68° is close to the purity of alcohol! When you are drunk, you can just light the lighter a little, and you can grill shrimp on fire!
Hao Dong was dizzy and rescued two bottles of wine, and took a bottle of ordinary 56° liquor for him: "Just use this." ”
By the way, Hao Dong took a look at Qi's perfect drunken shrimp seasoning and found that there was nothing wrong with this part. Even Xiao Qi Ye knows how to put fermented bean curd in it to increase the umami, but it's not the first time I've done it.
It can be seen that from the beginning of picking shrimp during the day to trying to calculate the two bottles of good wine just now, our little Qi Ye has worked quite hard for this drunk shrimp!
Seeing that Qi Jue was still looking at the liquor he stuffed into his hand with a disgusted face, Hao Dong felt a little powerless to explain: "It's better to keep good wine and drink it, the drunken shrimp eats the sweet taste of the white shrimp meat inspired by the aroma of wine, and this ordinary wine is enough." ”
Qi Jue was still very puzzled in his heart, in the past, they used to eat this drunken shrimp in the restaurant, although because he liked this flavor very much, he had forced himself into the kitchen to visit the production steps, but when it came to doing it himself, today was definitely the first time.
Fortunately, he has a good memory, and he knows everything very clearly, and even the proportion of each ingredient is very clear, but when it comes to choosing wine, he hesitates. Past experience told him that the wine used by those shops to drunk shrimp was ordinary rice wine or white wine, and the taste was very ordinary, so he planned to try using better wine today to see if it could greatly improve the taste.
But Hao Dong stopped him, which made him very puzzled.
He believes in Hao Dong's cooking skills, but at the same time, he really wants to try his own ideas. It is rare that Xiao Qiye, who has always been decisive in killing, fell into deep thought, and subconsciously couldn't control his eyes and kept crooked towards the two bottles of good wine.
By this time, it was completely dark, and the makeshift light bulb in the backyard was on. Regardless, the lighting is not very good, and there are more and more dark corners around.
So at the beginning, even a highly alert person like Qi Jue didn't notice that someone was snooping here.
But it was probably the so-called crooked beating, he had been peeking at the two bottles of wine that Hao Dong had temporarily taken in the corridor, and then he noticed that it seemed that in the shadows of the corridor, someone was staring at them!
