"How many exactly?"

Zheng Wan smiled embarrassedly, raised two fingers, and explained, "Two large barrels." ”

Hearing this, Du Mingzhao gasped, yesterday a bucket of several of them ate fat waists and bellies, and today's two large buckets are estimated to be not so easy to consume.

So, he looked at his face and said, "That lady can buy some, I want to take it home for my parents at home to taste." ”

"It's okay, these red crayfish are all given by the cow fish master."

"Thank you, lady."

Hearing that he could still eat such delicious food today, the smile on Du Mingzhao's face did not disappear.

Soon he thought that it must be very hard for Zheng Wan to handle so many red crayfish by himself, and immediately proposed:

"Since it is a task sent by Cui Jiancheng, I went to the public kitchen to call a few people to help the lady."

Zheng Wan thought about his workload for a moment and nodded in agreement, "Thank you Master Du for your understanding." ”

After that, the two discussed the production of crayfish for a short time before returning to the kitchen together.

When Du Mingzhao saw Liu Xingyan, he immediately shouted: "Cui Jiancheng is looking for Zheng Niangzi to do something, and he still needs a few helpers, and he needs to be transferred from you." ”

"What is there to see about Mrs. Zheng, although she said that Cui Jiancheng's major affairs are important, and the rest of the lunch is enough to work together."

Zheng Wan looked at the people who were automatically arranged neatly, gave priority to the people he was familiar with and who were quick with his hands and feet, and said, "Then Zhao Qingyou and Su Miao ......"

Chapter 35: Thirteen Incense

Every time she called out someone's name, that person quickly stepped out of the line.

After saying the name, she looked at the five people she was familiar with, and gestured to Du Mingzhao on the side.

"Since Zheng Niangzi only needs five people, then these five people. Chef Lau's lunch time should not be delayed, do you understand? ”

"The little one understands that it must be the same as the hour of the meal that is served on weekdays."

Liu Xingyan immediately made a guarantee, bent over, and nodded again and again to show his determination.

Du Mingzhao looked at it for a while, and felt that there was nothing he needed to look at here, so he turned around and went back to tell Cui Zhiyun the news.

Zheng Wan took his newly acquired manpower and walked to the location of his residence.

This made Liu Xingyan dumbfounded, originally he thought that Zheng Wan was going to borrow the stove and manpower of the public chef, but now it looks like there is no posture of cooking in the public kitchen, so where is she going to cook for Cui Jiancheng?

Of course, it is the location near Zheng Wan's residence, After her additions in the past few days, her personal small kitchen can be said to be small and complete.

Otherwise, it would not be possible to provide dinner for so many people at once like yesterday.

After walking to the residence, Zheng Wan looked at the five people who followed him, Zhao Qingyou was not worried, after all, she had also handled and eaten red crayfish, but the remaining few people did not know whether they were afraid of red crayfish, a creature that looked a little scary.

So, she looked at the few people in front of her and reminded:

"You're here to help, it's the red crayfish that needs to be handled, and I don't know if you've learned about this creature before? Later, if there is anything that you can't do, just ask Zhao Qingyou directly. ”

"No."

The remaining four people immediately realized that this sentence reminded them, and hurriedly responded.

In the next second, I saw Zheng Wan lift the lid on the wooden basin, and a dull creature intertwined with red and black appeared in his sight, coupled with the sound of the red crayfish constantly struggling, the sound of paddling the wooden basin, and the menacing pincers.

Suddenly seeing such an impactful picture, the four of them subconsciously took a big step back.

Zheng Wan noticed the actions of several people, and explained with a smile: "This red crayfish is similar to a crab, or even easier to deal with, so you don't have to be too afraid." Later, I will teach you the tricks of dealing with it first, and you will be able to get started soon. ”

The four of them were also ashamed of what they had just done, and they were all here, and it wasn't something they could back down from if they wanted to.

As soon as he heard Zheng Wan say this, he still had a little confidence in his heart, his nervous expression instantly softened, and the corners of his mouth were also hooked in the face of Zheng Wan's comforting smile.

Zheng Wan looked at this scene, nodded with satisfaction, and shouted, "You also sit down, and immediately teach everyone how to deal with it." ”

By the time everyone had sat down, the crayfish in the tub looked even more aggressive, moving back and forth on their companion's body with two pairs of pincers.

Just when everyone felt that their brains were shocked by this scene, suddenly in the red and black world, a yellow-white hand suddenly broke in.

I don't know how it found its target, but I saw my hand quickly pinch the joint between the brain and body of a red crayfish from the wooden basin.

In the next second, I saw a pair of scissors aimed at the brain of the red crayfish.

Just by listening to the "click", the huge head of the red crayfish was cut off in half. Although the shell was cut to pieces, the internal organs were still connected together, and then the shell was clamped with scissors and slowly pulled up together with the internal organs.

The only thing that remained in everyone's sight was the crayfish that stopped moving and struggled, and the red crayfish whose brain had been cut in half, and from the rest of the head, only a faint yellow color could be seen.

Looking along the hand of the person holding the red crayfish, I saw Zheng Wan's "It's very simple, right?" Expression.

The neat and neat posture just now, if it wasn't for what I saw with my own eyes, everyone wouldn't believe that it was Zheng Wan, such a soft-looking girl who could do it.

Just when a few people were still doubting their lives, Zheng Wan spoke up.

"Just like everyone has just seen, just use scissors to hold an oblique angle of the head of the crayfish, and then cut and pull, and the head part can be cleaned. As long as the red crayfish loses the power to resist, I believe that everyone can handle it.

Which of you is going to give it a try? ”

As she spoke, she handed the scissors in her hand to the four of them.

The four of them glanced at each other, and then Huang Sui took the initiative to stand up and said, "Let's give it a try." ”

Then he took the scissors from Zheng Wan's hand, held back the fear in his heart, and chose a lucky person from the wooden basin crawling with red crayfish.

Forcing her brain to ignore the violent struggle of the crayfish in her hand, she struggled to control her hands and eyes, and with a fierce heart, she aimed the scissors directly at the head of the crayfish.

"Click!"

The sound of the crayfish's skull shattering sounded, and Huang Sui immediately sensed that the strength of the crayfish in his hand was beginning to weaken.

When she opened her eyes, she saw that the red crayfish in her hand was dead, and because she was too hard, she directly cut the inside and outside of her head together, and there was still a little foreign body left inside.

She glanced at Zheng Wan nervously, and then immediately lowered her eyebrows, waiting for Zheng Wan's evaluation.

"Very good!"

As soon as these words came out, she immediately raised her head and looked at Zheng Wan as if there was light in her eyes.

"It's good that you've been able to behave like this for the first time, even if there's some foreign object left, you can pick it up with the head of the scissors. And if you look at it now, do you think it's quite easy to deal with this crayfish? ”

Then he raised the red crayfish in his hand, aimed at his immobile legs, directly pulled it off, and then twisted and pulled the tail to pull out the shrimp line inside.

After Zheng Wan handed over the techniques of handling red crayfish to a few people, he watched everyone handle it cleanly.

After reassigning manpower, I really felt that I was still scared, so I stayed behind to pull my legs and pull the shrimp line, boldly disposed of my head, and the rest was to wash the red crayfish inside and out.

This is the food to be given to Cui Zhiyun to enjoy, and no one dares to slack off in the slightest.

Zheng Wan also thought of what Du Mingzhao told him, it is best to make all flavors of red crayfish.

In her memory, there are many shrimp recipes, which can be used on crayfish, but the best flavors sold in her previous life are still garlic and spicy that she made before, and there is also a personal favorite flavor, that is, thirteen spiced crayfish.

After thinking about it carefully, she still felt that it was not expensive to make these three flavors this time, and it happened that she had also made her thirteen spice seasonings.

While others were dealing with the crayfish, she didn't sit idle, thinking about how to do it while washing and cutting the classic side dishes and setting them aside for later use.

Wait until all the crayfish have been cleaned before she cracks the crayfish's pincers.

The others have also been shocked face-to-face just now, and now their fear of crayfish has dissipated a lot, and they can follow along to help.

Soon, it was time to start cooking.

It's still the same as before, first fry the processed red crayfish and fry it thoroughly, Zheng Wan and Zhao Qingyou are used to seeing it, and they don't think there's anything.

But the four of them seemed to have seen a trick, the red crayfish, which was originally red and black, and even a little dull, actually turned into a bright red, which can increase people's appetite a lot just by looking like it just now.

Zheng Wan took out the fried red crayfish and scooped off the excess oil in the wok, leaving only the fried thirteen spices. As she looked at the fire, she spoke:

"Sister Qingyou, please take the bowl with shallots on the table next to you."

She took the bowl with ginger, garlic, shallots, and star anise, poured it directly into the wok, and fried its aroma, all soaked into the oil.

Remove the spices until the skin turns yellow and dry, then add ginger, garlic and glutinous chili peppers to the oil again to bring out the red color of the peppers.

At this time, the chili pepper and the oil completely reacted, and the air seemed to be bursting one by one as if some hidden bombs were bursting, and there was a strong smell that irritated the nasal cavity.

"Ahh

"Ahh Ahh ”

Not only did the few people standing behind Zheng Wan observe and began to sneeze, but even Cui Zhiyun, who could only smell a little on the other side, couldn't help but start sneezing.

He just walked out to relieve his boredom, but he didn't expect to smell the strong pungent fragrance again.

Thinking that this was for himself, he endured the discomfort from his body, continued to stand for a while, and only left with peace of mind after smelling the fragrance of change.

At this time, Zheng Wan had already poured the red crayfish into the wok, adding a touch of gorgeous red to the red crayfish that was originally a bright red color.

The umami aroma inside the crayfish blends with the aroma of chili peppers to create a richly layered and fascinating taste.

It's time to add salt and soy sauce, as well as the decisive seasoning that determines the flavor of the dish, thirteen spices!

Stir well, you can add the rice cakes she prepared this time, and simmer for a quarter of an hour to bake.

As for the other garlic red crayfish, it is still cucumber and lotus root, and the spicy red crayfish is added with potatoes and cucumbers, and the flavor brought by different side dishes is also different.

While waiting, everyone smelled the fragrance that kept approaching them, and tried to restrain the craving for crayfish in their hearts.

In everyone's mind, they have completely forgotten the fear they had just faced the red crayfish with their teeth and claws, and now they are all hungry when they look at the red crayfish curled up and exuding an attractive color and fragrance all over their bodies.

Smelling and smelling, everyone even forgot that this was a meal prepared for Cui Zhiyun again, and asked curiously:

"Mrs. Zheng, when will these red crayfish be cooked?"

"There's still half an hour to go."

Zheng Wan replied naturally, not feeling anything unusual.

However, Huang Sui's friend Yu Si felt that Huang Sui felt like he was going to eat by himself, so he quickly pulled his friend's cuffs and reminded:

"This is for Cui Jiancheng."

Huang Sui, who was still immersed in the fragrant world of food, suddenly heard such a sentence that broke his illusion, and the corners of his mouth immediately fell, and he said a little depressedly: "I understand." ”

But her tone was not like that, and her eyes were staring directly at the churning soup in the wok, and she was reluctant to move it away at all.

Even she could feel her own heartbeat, jumping with the rhythm of the soup tumbling in the wok.
