Chapter 34
"Just grab the tail in the middle and pull it, and the shrimp line will come out!"
Chen Muxue is teaching the children how to deal with the shrimp strings. After all, if she handles nearly six catties of crayfish by herself, she doesn't need to eat dinner, and just eat supper.
The simple and honest Dafu was assigned to peel garlic. Chen Muxue planned to make two flavors, one spicy and one minced garlic.
Garlic crayfish need a lot of garlic. Divide the crayfish into half and three catties. It is estimated that nearly ten heads of garlic are needed to fully exert the power of garlic crayfish. However, today’s garlic is not as big as Chen Muxue’s original world. So peeling it is a very trivial job, not at all easier than handling crayfish.
Especially in the next three days you can have garlic fingers...
Every time Dagui reached out to catch crayfish, he would shrink back in fright, and could not catch one for a long time. With the skill Xiaohu mastered, he first used scissors to press down on the crayfish's pincers, and then stretched out his hand to catch it. The pliers are locked in the hand, and the follow-up processing is very simple.
What is surprising is that in the hands of Xiaohua, who is only four years old, the crayfish is so obedient that it doesn't even move its pincers, and it obeys obediently.
If Chen Muxue met such a well-behaved crayfish, she might have to struggle for a few seconds before making a move, but Xiao Hua seemed to be no stranger to it. She was weak and gritted her teeth to pull out the shrimp thread.
Foodies are very cruel!
After processing, Chen Muxue fried the crayfish first. The children were amazed when they saw the crayfish, which were still a little green just now, turned red one by one—it looked much tastier!
Spicy crayfish needs hot pot base, which is obviously not available in this world. Xiaohu is now at the fifth level of qi training. Even if he is a child, no one would dare to mess with him, so Chen Muxue sent him to the pharmacy.
As for why you need to go to a pharmacy, in ancient times, many spices were not used for cooking, but as medicinal materials. In this world, because you can cultivate immortals and have more contacts with overseas countries, there should be more spices.
"If you can't buy it at the pharmacy, go to the grocery store. If you can't, go to the place that sells tea. Remember, they sell tea, not tea." Chen Muxue instructed carefully.
Nowadays, some people drink tea and like to add all kinds of messy things to cook together. What is really boiled is tea soup. So places that sell tea probably have spices too.
Xiaohu was a little excited, this was the first time he went down the mountain alone!
Xiaohu has recently kept up with his nutrition, and he has grown a lot taller. He is no longer what he used to be. He looks four or five years old when he is seven or eight years old. Now he can already tell that he is an older child.
However, the definition of a big child is based on ancient times. In Chen Muxue's eyes, he is still the age of a primary school student.
Knowing that spices are not cheap, Chen Muxue gave him a whole fifty taels of silver and asked him to buy more.
Xiaohu lived up to expectations, and came back with a big bag: "I went to the pharmacy. The doctor who saw us last time said that the hot and sour noodles made by the owner were delicious. He helped me get spices and said that a businessman from the Western Regions passed by him last time." I collected some by myself, and asked my door owner when he would go down the mountain to sell hot and sour noodles and malatang, he was thinking about that one recently, and the food tasted bad.”
"The sect master is very powerful!" Xiao Hua shouted after hearing this.
Chen Muxue touched Xiaohu's head: "Xiaohu completed the task perfectly when he went down the mountain for the first time, and Xiaohu is also very good."
After finishing speaking, she rolled up her sleeves. Since she bought so many spices, she should make more. Don’t think that one hundred taels will get rid of her. When the opportunity comes, it’s better not to open the dilapidated restaurant in the town.
