Chapter 563 563. Small river shrimp
It’s not that the seventh cousin worked meticulously, it’s because some of the small river shrimps in these two barrels were 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 messed up, right?
Cousin Seventh cannot bear it.
Fortunately, Aunt Lianhua is quick at work. When the seventh cousin said this, she immediately understood.
At the moment, 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, when I took a look, 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 sunlight. It looks delicious!
At this time, Professor Song couldn’t sit still anymore, so he simply moved a stool over and held a knife:
“Let me lend a hand, too.”
Ulan quickly stopped him: "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 now he opened his palms to show her:
“I have calluses on my hands, but it’s not the same thing whether I can break them with a single scratch of the knife!”
Is it 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, Ulan was speechless and just looked at him with slight admiration:
“You are all so capable, and you still work so hard!”
She is a farmer herself. It doesn’t matter if a farmer spends his whole life farming, but the Professor Song in front of her has been in the news!
Normally, people who live in big villas must be famous and profitable, and they are willing to deal with mud...
In Ulan'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, so helping us is nothing now. I can kill fish...”
As he spoke, he gently slid the knife on the belly of the fish. Before the blood could gush out, he flexibly inserted his fingers to dig out the internal organs...
Professor Song admits that although he rarely kills fish, his movements are 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 used his two thumbs to put a slight force on the belly of the fish. A hole was ripped open easily...
As if aware of his gaze, Ulan raised his head and smiled shyly: "We country people do a rough job of collecting fish..."
Professor Song laughed dumbly.
Just stop looking at it now and just concentrate on your 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 in wisps. At first it came with the wind, and soon it spread silently and domineeringly throughout the yard.
By the time everyone notices it, every breath and every breath is 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 smelled 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 Tantan sell it - you smell it, these small shrimps are dried without putting anything in them, and the smell is the same Absolutely amazing!”
“When you go back to make soup and stir-fry, put a few pills in it, why don’t you swallow it all on your tongue?”
Actually, because it is dried, there is still a little bit of black in the red, which is not good-looking in terms of appearance.
But anyone who smells its fragrance will not pay attention to the appearance at all at this moment!
Shrimps bake very quickly. Even on low heat, the seventh cousin quickly scoops out a bowl of the ones that are ripest in the center. Then he took a spoon:
“Come on, come on, everyone, have a taste, I’ll see if I need 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 their hands 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!”
Two young men were vying for the first place with their mouths open, like chicks waiting to be fed, and they looked as greedy as they could be!
Seventh cousin took the spoon and really planned to stuff it into their mouths to save trouble, but now it seems that these two are willing to take it...
It’s so annoying!
He had no choice but to quickly scoop out a spoonful:
“Reach out your hand and put it in your palm, waiting for me to feed you.”
Then one 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, with some scattered seasonings...
At this time, like a pangolin, it stuck out its tongue and licked it -
In short, Professor Song simply couldn’t see the way the two students looked at each other.
but-
“Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!!”
Two big men are so delicious that they are about to cry:
“Why is it so fresh? Why is it so fresh? Is this what small river shrimp tastes like?”
The seventh cousin also asked: "Would you like to sprinkle some salt on it?"
However, the two people in front of him were full of delicious food, in their hands and in their mouths. Each one was more happy than the other, and no one even bothered to answer him.
have to!
The little old man took back the bowl, thinking that such an expert could not be left to these laymen.
I went back and took a spoonful to try 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 shrimps.
Looked again at the pot that Grandma Qi was packing next to her:
"There are quite a few big ones! When you have enough for a basin, drain the water and I will fry it in oil until fragrant."
Yan Ran, who was still diligently weighing the scales by 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 at the record in her hand:
“Uncle, this is more than three hundred kilograms. Can your car be taken away today?”
“Tantan said, don’t worry if you can’t pull her away, we can eat it ourselves, so don’t worry about it!”
Lao Zhao:…
What burden? What burden can he have?
His only burden is why he refuses to sell the small fish and shrimp!
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!
