Chapter 563 563. Small river shrimps
It’s not that the seventh cousin worked meticulously, it’s actually that some of the small river shrimps in these two buckets are really too small.
Their local shrimps are not very big to begin with. When they are most mature, they are not even thicker than an adult’s little finger.
Now, among the things in the bucket, the big ones are close to the fingertips, but there are more densely packed small ones, even the tails and whiskers are only one centimeter long!
If the big one and the small one are put into the pot together, the heat will be a mess, right?
The seventh cousin will never tolerate it.
Fortunately, Aunt Lianhua is quick at work, and she immediately understood what the seventh cousin said.
Now I am sitting on a small bench with Grandma Qi, fishing out claw by claw, picking for the last time while fishing.
When the selection is correct, put it into a basin of fresh water aside and sift it later.
However, just after picking this bucket, Tang Xiaodong and Qi Lin came back carrying another bucket.
This time I took a look and found that there were all small white fish about ten centimeters in size! Dense and full of vitality.
The white and delicate fish scales shine with an extraordinarily vivid light under the early morning sun. It looks delicious!
At this time, Professor Song couldn't sit still anymore, so he simply brought a stool over and held a knife:
"Let me help you too."
Ulan Stop him quickly: "Oh, don't, wait a minute, don't hurt your hand."
Professor Song laughed, a rare sense of pride welling up in his heart, and he opened his palms to show her:
“I have calluses on my hands, and it doesn’t matter if the knife can scratch them or not!”
Is that possible?
His knuckles are thick, his skin is slightly dark, and there is a thick layer of calluses visible to the naked eye on the palms of his fingers. He definitely looks like he has done strenuous work.
At this moment, Wulan was speechless and just looked at him with a little admiration:
"You are all so capable, and you still work so hard!"
She herself is a farmer, and it doesn't matter if a farmer spends his life farming, but the Professor Song in front of her has been in the news!
It is said that he lives in a big villa, wants to be famous and profitable, and is willing to deal with mud...
In Wulan's simple mind, this kind of person is worthy of respect.
Professor Song smiled freely: "I worked hard like this for many years before I became so capable."
"Besides, we eat and drink at home every day. Now it's nothing to help. I can kill fish..."
As he said this, he neatly swiped the knife on the belly of the fish. Without waiting for the blood to flow out, his fingers flexibly reached in and pulled out the internal organs...
Professor Song admitted that although he rarely killed fish, his movements were still very smooth and smooth.
But when he raised his head, he saw that Wu Lan, who was sitting opposite, didn't even use any tools. He simply pinched the head of the little fish, and then pointed at the fish with his two thumbs. With a slight exertion on his abdomen, a hole was easily torn open...
As if aware of his gaze, Ulan raised his head and smiled shyly: "We country people clean up the fish very roughly... …”
Professor Song burst into laughter.
Let’s just stop looking at it now and concentrate on our own work.
I don’t know how long it took, but when he came to his senses, the whole yard began to be filled with a delicious aroma.
The aroma did not burst out suddenly, but wisps and wisps. At first it came with the wind, and soon it spread silently and domineeringly throughout the yard.
When everyone notices, every time you breathe in, you will be filled with the kind of fragrance that covers your head and face in all directions.
"This is..."
Professor Song raised his head.
It happened that Tang Xiaodong and Qi Lin came in again carrying buckets. As soon as they entered the yard, they couldn't help but exclaimed: "It smells so good, it smells so good! I could smell it halfway through the walk, and I almost couldn't move my legs!" "
"Does it smell good? "
The seventh cousin stood at the door of the kitchen, his face full of pride:
"I just said that the water in this pond is good, and it's great to raise such small fish and shrimps! I'm not willing to let Tan Tan sell it - you smell it, these small shrimps are dried like this without putting anything in them, this smell It’s also amazing!”
“I’ll put a few of them in the soup and stir-fry, why don’t I swallow it with my tongue?”
As he said that, he quickly went back and stared at the fire - -This kind of shrimp must be roasted slowly over low heat without water or oil. As the temperature rises, the whole shrimp will take on a wonderful reddish-brown color.
Actually, because it is dried, there is still a little bit of black in the red, which is not very good-looking in terms of appearance.
But anyone who smells its aroma will not pay attention to its appearance at all!
The shrimps bake very quickly. Even on low heat, the seventh cousin quickly takes out the ones that are ripest in the center into a bowl. Then he took a spoon:
"Come on, let's have a taste. I'll see if I want to sprinkle some salt on it later."
What are you waiting for?
Tang Xiaodong and Qi Lin threw away the buckets in their hands, soaped up and rubbed their hands without saying anything crazy, and then immediately lined up in front of the seventh cousin.
"I'll have a taste, I'll have a taste!"
The two young men were scrambling with their mouths open, like chicks waiting to be fed, looking as greedy as they could be!
The seventh cousin took the spoon and really planned to stuff it into their mouths to save trouble, but now he saw how willing these two were...
It's eye-catching!
He had to quickly scoop out a spoonful:
"Reach out your hands and put them in your palms. Wait for me to feed you."
Then each person was given a spoon.
……
Have you ever eaten instant noodles?
Old-fashioned instant noodles that require you to pour seasoning packets into them.
When I was a child, when there was only a little bit left in the bag after eating, I would inevitably pour it into the palm of my hand, along with some scattered seasonings...
At this time, like a pangolin, he stuck out his tongue and licked it——
In short, Professor Song simply couldn't bear to notice the eating looks of the two students.
But——
“Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!!!”
The two old men were so delicious that they almost cried:
"Why is it so fresh? Why is it so fresh? Is this the taste of river shrimp?"
The seventh cousin also asked One sentence: "Do you want to sprinkle some salt?"
However, the two people in front of them were eating delicious food, and the food in their hands and their mouths were more happy than the other. No one bothered to answer him at all. .
Got it!
The little old man took back the bowl, thinking that such an expert should not be left to these laymen.
When I went back, I took a spoonful and tasted it myself - well, it was indeed so fresh that I lost my teeth! However, it is indeed a little bland, so I’d better sprinkle some more salt.
I can save a plate for lunch later and make salt and pepper river shrimp.
He looked at the pot that Grandma Qi was packing next to her:
"There are quite a few big ones! When you have enough for a pot, drain the water as well. I will directly Sauté in oil until fragrant.”
Yan Ran, who was still diligently weighing at the pond:...
"How come these two people didn't come back after sending a fish for so long?"
She looked at the sun in the sky, and then looked at it again Looking at the record in his hand:
"Uncle, this is more than three hundred kilograms. Can your car be pulled away today?"
"Tantan said, can't we pull it away?" Just leave, we can afford it ourselves, so don’t worry about it!”
Lao Zhao:...
What burden? What burden can he have?
His only burden is why the small fish and shrimp refuse to sell!
I’ve been sleeping a lot lately, and it seems like I have to make up for the bad sleep I had in the past few years.
Good night!
