Chapter 175 Delicious
The noisy family made Canghai's mouth slightly bent. Although Canghai prefers quietness, this is how people are. After living a quiet life for a long time, they naturally think about being lively. Now the noisy family makes people feel more life-like.
Guan Lin lay on the sofa and played for a while. When she got up, she saw Cang Hai and Shi Wei wearing skewers. The girl who was interested also took a bench and sat next to them, put on disposable gloves and put on skewers.
The sun was about to set, and the meat skewers on Canghai and the other two were almost worn. The skewers of about twenty kilograms of lamb were all worn into skewers, and the small square iron plate next to it was piled full of them.
"Canghai, there are so many things you can't eat at night, don't wear them." Qin Lingling turned around and saw Canghai and the other two wearing so many skewers, and immediately advised: "Your teacher and I can't eat a few skewers. You young people can just take care of themselves, let alone vegetarian dishes."
Guan Qidong and Qu Guowei were fighting, and when they heard this, they turned their heads. Seeing such a large pile of mutton skewers, they also said, "Yes, there are so many that are enough for more than a dozen people to eat, so there is no need to be so much."
Cang Hai replied with a smile: "Teacher, this is not just for us to eat. In the evening, the villagers will come to us to watch the movies and prepare some for them."
"oh!"
At this moment, Ping An walked in with a curtain and opened his mouth to Canghai and said, "Second brother, I have brought the lobster back. Do you want to do it now?"
When Canghai heard that the lobster had been brought back, he stood up and took off the disposable gloves on his hand: "Just do it now, the sun is about to set, and when will I do it now?"
When Guan Lin heard that the lobster was coming, she immediately stood up: "I'll go and see, are there many lobsters?"
Ping An replied with a smile: "There are about ten cages, each of which is a lot, but it's hard to say how many of them can be."
Qin Lingling stood up after hearing this, and stopped watching the chess and followed the few people out of the kiln.
As soon as I got outside, I immediately felt a wave of heat coming. After adapting to it, I felt much better. The weather is no longer as hot as it was at noon. Although the temperature is hot at this time, it can still be withstood.
There are about ten large shrimp cages on the ground outside. These shrimp cages are not square, but are like an oversized bowling bottle made of bamboo strips. They have a long mouth, a wide belly, and a length of about one meter. The widest part of the belly is almost fifty centimeters. The ground of the ten shrimp cages looks quite shocking.
Guan Lin likes to eat lobsters, but this is the first time she has seen a cage for catching lobsters. She stood curiously next to the cage and looked left and right, muttering while looking: "It turns out that this is how you catch crayfish!"
Ping An said happily: "Well, yes, this is the cage for catching lobsters. It was designed by my second brother and helped to craft it by Grandpa Li and his friends."
Shi Wei dragged a large basin from the kitchen. The basin was so big that it could allow an adult to squat in and take a bath.
Canghai helped put the basin on the ground, then picked up a shrimp cage, reached out to take out the ball of grass stuffed in the small mouth, stood up the shrimp cage and aimed it at the basin with a small mouth and began to pour the things inside into the basin.
Wow!
As the cage stood up, the dough-make things fell into the basin all at once, and the dark red lobster hit the basin and made a crisp sound.
"Wow, what a big crayfish!"
When Guan Lin saw the lobster in the basin, she immediately exclaimed.
Even Qin Lingling praised it: "This is big, the largest crayfish in the Magic City is probably about half the size, and it is so expensive."
Now people across the country seem to have a special feeling about crayfish, especially during the season when crayfish is on the market, whether it is the food stalls on the street or hotels, crayfish plays the protagonists. Many years ago, these things were wild, but now they are directly farmed, and the price is one per year. A crayfish as big and fat as Canghai will probably cost at least 9100 yuan per pound when they get a pound of magic capital. This has to be raw. If cooked and served on the table, it will cost at least 200 yuan.
Not to mention spending money, such a big crayfish may not be able to buy it if you have money, because they are all farmed lobsters, all of which are a seasonal product. No farmer will raise them for two or three years. So the big crayfish on the market is about four or six, and close to one or two taels of them. That is really too few.
"And snakes, snakes!"
Guan Lin immediately screamed when she saw a long and thin thing falling into the basin.
Qin Lingling suddenly felt a little amused and crying: "Silly girl, what kind of snake is it? This is the eel you like to eat! Even snakes and eels can't be separated. Oh, there are really snakes!"
Before Qin Lingling could finish her words, she saw a small snake seedling falling into the basin.
When he heard that there was really a snake, Guan Lin immediately jumped aside. Not to mention Guan Lin, even Shi Wei shrank her neck and fled far away.
Ping An walked to the basin, reached out and grabbed the snake, and threw it directly into a small red bucket.
"Can you eat this for the evening?" Guan Lin walked two steps towards the bucket, about one meter away from the bucket, and asked with her head stretched out her head and looked at the snake in the bucket.
Ping'an shook his head: "It's too small, there's no meat. Wait to see if there are any other snakes. If so, put them in the river in front."
"Why should I let it go?" Guan Lin asked.
For Guan Lin, it is better to cut off the roots of such a disgusting thing. If you put it back, it will not give birth to a bunch of small snakes.
Ping'an said: "Snakes are good things. Their staple food is mice. With them, there are many fewer rats in the fields near our village. If all the snakes are killed, our village will have to go back to the past in the future. From time to time, you can step on a mouse hole in the fields."
Canghai did not make a sound, but focused on pouring the harvest from the shrimp cage into the basin one by one. Halfway through, the bottom of the basin was full of crayfish. Not only crayfish, but also three or five crabs, they were quite large, almost three or four two. In addition to crabs, there were also some small fish and shrimps.
Needless to mention the mixed fish, the shrimp is not millet shrimp, and the shrimp that grows on one finger is like the scientific name of it. It is a shrimp with two thin and long tongs. This thing is easy to feed and grows fast. It is probably raised in the reservoir before, but it was washed here by the flood.
When Canghai was shaking the shrimp cage, Ping An and Shi Wei started picking up the mixed fish, shrimps and crabs, and put them in a small basin that was alone.
As more and more crayfish were present in the basin, Guan Lin became happier and happier. She squatted beside the basin and began to pick the largest lobster and grab it in her hands, screaming and playing like a child.
Qin Lingling also squatted next to the basin and helped pick up the fish together.
"Teach me, teach me!"
Maybe he was tired of playing lobsters, so Guan Lin pulled Ping An and wanted him to teach him how to catch eels. Everyone knows that eels are extremely slippery. If you catch them normally, you will definitely not be able to catch them. You have to roll them up with two fingers to clip them.
Seeing Ping An picking one up here, Guan Lin was very jealous and also learned from Ping An and Shi Wei to pick it up. However, she did not have the ability of Ping An and Shi Wei. First, she had no skills, and secondly, she was timid and afraid of being bitten, so she fiddled with a small eel but couldn't get the little thing into the bucket next to her for four or five minutes, so she had to ask Ping An for help.
Ping An was naturally willing to teach him. After almost a minute, Guan Lin grabbed the eel with her hands, and proudly held up the eel seedlings as big as chopsticks in her hand and showed off to the two chess players in the kiln.
Qin Lingling looked at a pot of crayfish and said to Canghai: "How many are you cooking today?"
Canghai said: "It's all cooked, there are so many people, and almost half of the lobster is shelled."
"Can you eat it?" Qin Lingling calculated her head in her heart, looked at the lobster in this big basin, looked up at Canghai and asked.
Canghai said: "Eat slowly, you can't eat dinner, and you'll be fine as snacks."
It’s not like washing and rinsing it in a restaurant. Not only do you have to cut the shrimp whiskers of the green lobster, but you also have to cut the shells on the front, then remove the cheeks on both sides, and finally pull out the shrimp intestines. In this way, every lobster has to be handed over. Most of the full pot of lobsters is a big job.
He took four pairs of scissors, Cang Hai, Ping An, Shi Wei and Qin Lingling, each sat on a small stool, and sat around a large basin to start cutting the lobsters.
"Oh, so many lobsters!"
Grandma Qiu Shanghua stood next to the basin, looked at the lobster in the basin and said.
Cang Hai turned around and saw Grandma Qiu holding a bottle of extremely exquisitely packed aged vinegar in her hand, so she said, "Just one bottle of vinegar, are you going to pay it back?"
"Look at what you said, "It's borrowing, there's no way you won't pay it back. Look, I'll put it in the kitchen for you." Qiu Shanghua put the vinegar in her hand on the table in the kitchen.
The villagers in the village buy things one by one, and they buy them at Canghai, and they also choose brand goods. Qiu Shanghua borrowed a bottle of vinegar two days ago.
While waiting to buy a bottle and return it to Canghai, the old lady went to the supermarket and found that a bottle of vinegar borrowed by Canghai was more than 30 yuan per bottle, but the old lady felt very distressed. The vinegar she used for was only five or six yuan per bottle, and this bottle was worth seven or eight bottles of her own. So the old lady decided to borrow less from Canghai’s materials in the future because it was too expensive.
"Grandma Qiu, come to your house to have a meal at night?" Cang Hai politely sent out the invitation.
Qiu Shanghua waved her hand: "What's the delicious lobster? You can eat it."
The villagers also caught lobsters, but they all sold them to Zhang Jiusheng. A pound of lobsters can be sold for about twenty yuan, so they are not willing to eat them themselves. However, the elderly in the village are not very interested in this thing. Even if they eat as much as their group of elderly people can eat, four or five of them will be enough for each person.
Besides, there are not many lobsters in the stream in front of the village now. The reason is easy to understand. Because every household sells money and gets caught. How long can it take for a stream to catch it in total?
Fortunately, the villagers did not fish in the dry pond, but just used cages to catch them, but the whole family did not go out to fish with their things. If this happens, the lobsters at the stream at the entrance of the village would be fished in less than a year or two.
For example, the shrimps caught in Canghai are from the lakes in Fenghuanggou and Jiazituo, and belong to Canghai’s own home. Even if the villagers are jealous, no one would tell Canghai to get some to eat, because in their hearts, a pound is twenty, which is equivalent to taking money from Canghai’s pocket.
It is precisely because people are all about people that everyone can get along happily and harmoniously.
Standing next to the basin and watching for a while, Qiu Shanghua turned around and went home to cook, while Canghai and others continued to cut the lobsters.
When all the crayfish were cut out, the two red plastic buckets were filled with about 30 kilograms of lobsters. It was quite attractive for good crayfish.
"I'll eat them tonight." Guan Lin swallowed happily, and then said, "It's great to think about it!"
