Chapter 99 Spicy and Delicious Snails
"What are you all doing standing guard at the kitchen door?" Gu Huai and Yu Qiang walked into the yard together. They both took off their hats and held them in their hands.
"Dad, Uncle Yu." Gu Xixi turned around and called out, "My mom's fried snails are so delicious."
"Dad, Uncle Yu."
"Dad, Uncle Gu."
The two brothers Gu Dong and Yu Jianshe also called people.
Gu Huai: "Xiang Ye, don't stand guard at the door. Come, help me move the table and stools out. We'll eat in the yard today."
It's cooler to eat in the yard at night.
"good."
Gu Huai and Yu Qiang carried the table out together, and several children helped to move the stools.
After moving, Yu Qiang remembered that he still had half a bottle of wine left at home. He and Gu Huai would both be on vacation tomorrow, so they could have a drink.
So Yu Jianshe went to take out the half-full bottle of wine on the cabinet.
Qian Lan was afraid that if the snails were served out, these kids would be so greedy that they would eat them with their hands regardless of the heat, so she didn't serve them out.
Wait until the fried eggplant with beans and the fried bitter melon with eggs are done before serving them out together.
The children also helped to serve the dishes, and only Gu Huai and Yu Qiang sat on the stools and talked about selecting people from that camp.
"Xu Daqiang from the Third Battalion is quite good, with great endurance and strength. He said he once killed a mad cow with one punch back home, but..."
Yu Qiang changed the subject and said, "Xu Daqiang is Luo Wu's most capable officer. If you choose him, Luo Wu will definitely be unhappy."
"I don't care whether he's unhappy or not." Gu Huai didn't care. "I'm not only going to take Xu Daqiang away, I'm also going to take Zeng Ping and Xiao Tian from their camp."
"Good fellow." Yu Qiang punched Gu Huai's arm. "He's the sharpshooter and the best thrower of the Third Battalion."
"What are you talking about so happily?" Qian Lan placed a bowl of snails in the middle of the table.
"Let's talk about things in the camp." Yu Qiang replied, lowered his eyes to look at the snails in the basin and swallowed his saliva.
Yu Hui brought out the porridge and placed it on a square stool some distance away from the table.
"Sister-in-law, you have worked hard today." Yu Qiang looked at her and said.
Yu Hui raised her head and smiled, "It's not hard, my sister-in-law helped me with it."
Then he asked, "Would you like to eat the snails later and then the porridge, or should you eat now?"
Gu Huai: "Wait a moment."
The others also said they would wait, so Yu Hui didn't scoop any for them.
There was an octagonal table, Qian Lan and Yu Qiang sat on one side, the two brothers Yu Jianshe sat on one side, the three brothers Gu Dong sat on one side, Yu Hui and Gu Huai sat on one side, and Beibei's baby chair was placed next to Yu Hui.
It was the first time Yu Hui had a meal with Gu Huai, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
Beibei eats porridge. It doesn't contain beans, but it does contain bitter melon and eggs without salt.
"Eat, eat." Gu Huai, the male host, invited the Yu family to pick up their chopsticks. After inviting them, he picked up a snail first, and then the others started eating.
Gu Huai put the snails in the bowl and didn't know how to eat them for a moment.
He had also eaten snail meat in the countryside, but he would smash the shells, take out the meat, and then stir-fry it.
Gu Xixi couldn't pick up the snails, so she just grabbed one with her hands and sipped the meat with her little mouth. She didn't know how she got to the meat inside, but she thought it tasted great.
Gu Dong and the others are almost the same as him.
Snail: What else can you do besides making me drool?
Yu Hui then remembered that she had forgotten the toothpick.
"You need to use a toothpick to pick out the meat from the snails. I'll go get the toothpick."
As soon as her butt left the bench, a big hand pressed her shoulder and pushed her back.
The palms of my hands were thirty-six and a half degrees hot.
"Just sit down." I went to get it.
Gu Huai stood up and went into the house. Yu Hui moved a little uncomfortably. She felt the warmth of his palm still on her shoulder, which he had pressed.
Gu Huai brought back a few toothpicks and distributed them to everyone.
Yu Hui took the toothpick and picked up a snail. While picking out the meat, she said, "Use the toothpick to pick out the meat. Eat the top part and leave the bottom part alone."
As soon as she took a bite of the snail, her eyes lit up. The snail was so fat, fragrant and spicy, it was really delicious.
Gu Huai and the others also followed her example and picked out the snail meat to eat. The moment the meat entered their mouths, they were shocked by the taste.
The snail meat is chewy, fragrant and spicy, and very satisfying.
My fried snails are absolutely amazing.
Yu Hui couldn't help but brag in her heart.
"Hiss, it's so delicious." Gu Xixi gasped because of the spiciness, but she kept saying it was delicious.
"It's so delicious." Yu Lixin shook his head while chewing the snail meat.
Yu Qiang wanted to say something to him, but he held back. He raised his glass and said to Gu Huai, "Come on, Gu Tuan, let's have a drink."
Gu Huai smiled, picked up his glass and clinked glasses with him.
Snails seem to taste even better when eaten with wine.
Eating snails inevitably involves dirtying your hands. It's too troublesome to pick them up with chopsticks and put them in the bowl, and then pick them up with your hands. After eating for a while, everyone followed Gu Xixi's example and started picking them up with their hands.
Anyway, your hands are clean because you wash them before eating.
Grab a snail, sip the soup, and then pick out the meat to eat.
In just over ten minutes, everyone had finished eating the whole pot of snails, even the perilla leaves.
After eating the snails, everyone washed their hands before starting to eat porridge and other dishes.
The dinner lasted until dark. After the meal, Qian Lan asked the boys to collect the bowls and wash them.
Yu Hui argued with her many times to let her wash herself, but she ruthlessly pushed her away.
After the children finished eating, they went out to play.
Whenever he met other children in the yard, he would show off how delicious the snails he had just eaten were, making the other children drool with envy.
"Gu Dong, I will go catch snails with you tomorrow. All the snails I catch will be given to you. When your mother cooks them, can you give me some to eat?" He Qiu said to Gu Dong in a negotiating tone.
Before Gu Dong could say anything, the other children followed suit, saying, "I'll go catch them with you too. I'll give you everything I catch, and you can share some with me."
"I also……"
"What are you talking about? It's so lively." Wu Chao and a few older children came over.
He Qiu said, "The snails cooked by Gu Dong's mother are so delicious. We are just talking to Gu Dong about going to catch snails with him and giving him all the snails so that he can share some of the cooked ones with us."
"What a promising future." Wu Chao glanced at He Qiu with some disdain and put his arm around Gu Dong's shoulders. "Brother Gu Dong, I'll go catch some snails for you tomorrow. Your mom has cooked them, so you can give me some too."
"You're still talking about me." He Qiu pointed at Wu Chao and shouted.
Wu Chao glared at him and shook Gu Dong's shoulder, "Is it okay?"
Gu Dong was a little hesitant. Stir-fried snails consume a lot of oil and are troublesome to clean up. If you make too much, it will also consume a lot of oil.
"I'll have to ask my mom."
"Oh, you even called mom. Gu Dong, don't you hate your stepmother very much?" Zhou Dabao came over with a few children from the west yard.
Gu Dong frowned and was about to say, "It's none of your business."
Then Wu Chao jokingly said, "Hey, here comes the person who likes to eat mice."
