Chapter 439: Eating Crabs
This time when he went home, Li Zhao didn't have anything special to pay attention to, and now Lijia Village was on the right track, and Li Zhao didn't need to point fingers at all. After all, there is now an agricultural research institute to provide technical support, and many things are not comparable to Li Zhao, a layman. In the past, the Agricultural Research Institute did not have many achievements, but it was only because of the limitations of the times and funds, it was difficult to make great progress.
Now, with the research direction proposed by Li Zhao and the financial support provided by the material factory, it can be said that their research is a rapid progress. Li Zhao himself planned to study seeds, but only as a hobby, while the Agricultural Research Institute really studied these professionally. This year alone, there are dozens of projects in the research institute of agriculture to study seeds, and of course, these projects are not untargeted, and they are all put forward with sufficient theoretical basis.
Under such circumstances, Li Zhao believes that in a few years, he will definitely make good progress in seed alone. For example, maize, one of the most important food crops in the central and northern parts of the country at this time, has many projects around maize, of course, the research projects that can be carried out in this era are relatively limited, most of them are hybrid research, and some are research on changing the number of genomes.
As for genetically modified or something, it is still too far away for this era. In this case, Li Zhao does not need to intervene too much, he can use agricultural research as a spice in his life, and the promotion of ecological agriculture can be directly handed over to the material factory and the agricultural research institute, which can promote development more.
After picking up Mother Li, Li Zhao took Su Ya and Nastya out to play, but there was nothing to play, after all, the weather was too hot. At this time, if you enter the mountain, you will not be at ease, and you will be covered in sweat if you walk a few miles casually, and Li Zhao is not willing to do this. After the three of them summed it up, they got a unified opinion, that is, to touch the crab. And Li Xing was ruthlessly abandoned and asked him to tutor his nephew to study.
borrowed three submachine guns from the village, Li Zhao carried an iron bucket, and the three of them set off. The reason for bringing a gun is also very simple, it is to prevent the appearance of wild beasts, although a few people will not go far, and Li Zhao has never seen any fierce beasts, but after all, it is up the mountain, and no one knows what will appear in the forest, it is safer to carry a weapon.
The place to go is also very close, that is, the creek in the back mountain, where crabs grow. The crab here is only the most common river crab, and the famous hairy crab is incomparable, first of all, the size can not be compared, this kind of crab can grow to half the weight of the hairy crab is good, and in this era people generally look down on this thing, one is not meat, the other is to eat this oil, so basically no one will eat this.
Of course, there is another reason that there are not many people who can make it, and the situation that often occurs is to just throw it into the pot and boil it, and then put a little salt, in this case, how can it be delicious? In the future, it is different, whether it is steamed and eaten, or a drunken crab or spicy fried crab, it is a good choice.
Since there is no one to eat, it is very easy for the three of them to go to the creek to catch it, as long as they see that there are relatively large stones in the water, and then there is a gap underneath, they can turn it over directly, and there will be it. This project is considered the best activity at this time, there are trees around the creek, so the blazing sun does not confuse Li Zhao and the others. It's okay if the temperature is relatively high, so I took off my shoes directly, stood in the creek and turned over the stones, and the cold stream water was just right to cool the three of them. Catching crabs is also very simple, pick up a stone and knock it hard directly on the stone you like, so that the crabs and small fish under the stone will be stunned, so that you can catch it well. With Li Zhao's demonstration, Su Ya and Nastya had a lot of fun, and there was no need for Li Zhao to do it. Especially when the two of them caught the crab, there was no exclamation, which made Li Zhao feel like he was in a different world.
This kind of picture is so infectious, it doesn't look like it should be in this era at all. At this time, Li Zhao had already turned into a follower, and from time to time he took the crabs and small fish caught by the two of them and put them in the bucket, of course, Li Zhao would also pick them, this kind of crab is already very small, if it is relatively small, let Li Zhao release it directly, and he can't ask for it.
Time passed quickly, and when it was about ten o'clock, Wang Jun also came, seeing that Su Ya and Nastya were having a lot of fun, and they also joined the team of the two, at this time Li Zhao was very strange and asked, "Wang Jun, why don't you stay at home with your parents?" I remember you didn't go home much this year, didn't you miss home? ”
When Li Zhao asked, Wang Jun's face immediately stepped down, and he said with a look of grievance: "My room is gone, and there is no place for me to live at home." As soon as I got home, my family asked me for money and my bicycle to go, and I came here in a fit of anger, and I won't go home again. And the tears began to fall.
When Li Zhao heard this, he was also very helpless, this Qing official is difficult to decide family affairs, Wang Jun's parents are really patriarchal, Li Zhao knew what was going on when he heard this, he must have given Wang Jun's room to his grandson, that is, Li Zhao's nephew, this matter made a fuss, Li Zhao was also very helpless, at this time Li Zhao had to signal Su Ya and let her comfort.
Su Ya was about to be comforted, but just now she saw that Li Zhao was asking, so she didn't speak, which directly pulled Wang Jun to comfort her. Nastya also joined in at this time, he was more direct, and directly pulled Wang Jun to start catching crabs, and soon, with a few crabs turned out, Wang Jun was no longer sad, and picked up the crabs.
It wasn't until eleven o'clock that the four of them returned home unsatisfied, and after arriving home, the work of making crabs was handed over to Li Zhao. It is still very troublesome to eat crabs, because these crabs grow in small streams and are relatively clean in themselves, so they are relatively easy to clean. But Li Zhao still soaked the crab in warm water, then brushed it twice with a brush, and finally opened the belly lid and squeezed out the excrement.
After cleaning, Li Zhao directly made two dishes, one of course was steamed, and the female crabs were selected. The other is fried spicy crab, which is mainly used by male crabs, so it can be regarded as making the best use of things. Before doing this, it was more troublesome, and the cheeks, stomach, and intestines needed to be removed, otherwise it would be too dirty after frying, but Li Zhao's cooking skills were average, and the taste was estimated to be average.
However, when making this dish, it can make Li's mother feel distressed, it is really spicy crab is too oil-intensive, and the oil used in Li Zhao's dish is directly enough for Li's mother to use for many days, which is also caused by the lack of materials, and she is used to being thrifty.
Soon Li's father and Li Zhao's sister-in-law came back, but Li Zhao's eldest brother did not come back at noon, he needed to organize everyone's lunch, and the meal of thousands of people was not a small problem. Father Li also came back after seeing that there was no problem. After cooking these two dishes, Li Zhao also handed over the position of the spoon to Li's mother and his sister-in-law, and asked them to fry two more dishes. Soon everyone sat down at the table, today's main dish is crabs, Li Zhao caught a lot of them, only turned over less than a quarter of the stream, and directly caught most of the bucket, and made it all at noon. Of course, this is also the fact that no one eats this thing, one is that it is not good at cooking, and the other is that no one knows how to do it. At this time, Father Li looked at the dishes on the table and said to Li Zhao: "Who did you learn this from, it's really a waste of oil, and you only have a good life for a few days?" ”
Li Zhao smiled at this time: "Just look at it, it's absolutely delicious, I didn't know how to cook it before, so it's not delicious." ”
Then Li Zhao picked up a steamed crab and began to explain to everyone what needs to be thrown away, of course, the same as when making spicy crabs, that is, gills, stomach, and intestines, and then began to teach everyone how to eat. When the crab meat dipped in vinegar was eaten, everyone tasted the delicious taste of the crab, and then they knew that they would not eat it before.
Li Zhao said at this time; "Well, it tastes good, it's called high-end ingredients, and it often only needs to be cooked in the most simple way. It's that we don't have rice wine, this crab is a cold food, and people in the south want to use rice wine to serve the food, so it's not good to eat too much. ”
However, at this time, where is there anyone to take care of Li Zhao, especially Li Zhao's nephew and Li Xing, who are quickly solving the crabs, for fear that others will eat them if they are slow. Even a few ladies were just a little more gentle, and they were all quickly eliminating crabs, but none of them had ever eaten such delicious crabs. Even Nastya has never eaten crabs, and she used to have meetings with potatoes all year round.
In fact, it is normal for no one to eat crabs in this era, one is that in this era and previous eras, ordinary people are very poor and have no access to the real way to eat crabs. They often have no choice but to pick up crabs, and then just boil them with water, where is it clean, just fill their stomachs. This has also led to a lot of problems, one is unhygienic, and the other is that they don't know what to eat at all, and they eat everything.
The second reason is that chefs in this era are accustomed to keeping one hand, and the real method of crab is not popular in the market at all, so that most people have no chance to contact these at all. This is not sixty years later, everything can be found on the Internet, and the craftsmanship of this era is the cost of eating, of course, Li Zhao taught his sister-in-law this time.
