Chapter 29 Proposal of Salt and Pepper Shrimp
In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the sea, giving it a golden luster.
Chen Zhao recovered from his illness and returned to his lively state. He chased Yu Zhile to ask about the taste of the salt and pepper mantis shrimp.
"Just thinking about eating." Yu Zhile found it funny.
Chen Zhao was proud of it and said something in an inappropriate way: "People die for money, but Chen Zhao will go to great lengths to get to the bottom of food."
"Little gourmet, the task of making porridge tonight is left to you." Yu Zhile stuffed the casserole into his hands.
Chen Zhao made a funny expression at her and said, "Make sure you complete the task assigned by the chef."
He is not very good at controlling the right amount of seasoning when cooking, but he can still control the heat and cook porridge.
Yu Zhile turned around to deal with the mantis shrimp.
The shrimps were cleaned before being delivered. They had lost their vitality after being left overnight, so the process of opening their backs went smoothly.
The cuttlefish beans are hung in the well for preservation. They have no odor and are still edible. They are washed by changing the water several times, and then scooped out with a bamboo colander to drain the water.
Yu Zhile spent twenty cloud coins to buy a bag of pepper and salt in the mall.
The outer packaging was completely in line with the tone of this era, sturdy and simple, but the thing appeared out of thin air in her hand, making her subconsciously turn her head to look at Chen Zhao.
Fortunately, Chen Zhao's eyes never left the fire under the stove, otherwise he would have pestered her to perform magic again.
Yu Zhile let out a long sigh, chopped the ginger, onion, garlic and chili pepper and put them into a bowl.
Heat oil in a pan, pour in mantis shrimps when the oil is hot, fry until the shell turns hard and white, then remove from the pan and drain.
Leave a thin layer of oil in the pan, add the ingredients and stir-fry until fragrant, then add a small amount of soy sauce and oyster sauce for seasoning, then add the mantis shrimp and stir-fry evenly, finally sprinkle in the pepper and salt powder and stir-fry evenly before serving. The overbearing aroma of pepper and salt filled the air, making Chen Zhao not care about the rolling rice porridge, and he ran to Yu Zhile and took a deep breath.
The distinct layers of salty and fragrant flavors once again refreshed his view of food.
Yu Zhile saw his nostrils flaring like a puppy, and asked with a smile, "Does it smell good?"
"Sister, I can hardly hold back my saliva." Chen Zhao licked his lips, "This smell is really good. I can smell it even if I walk ten miles out of the sea."
"Is it that exaggerated?" Yu Zhile couldn't help laughing.
Chen Zhao nodded excitedly.
When the dishes were served, Papa excitedly clung to Yu Zhile's legs and barked so loudly that even Moore became agitated.
"Puppies can't eat pepper and salt." Yu Zhile half-knelt to catch the puppy, stroking its back and smoothing its fur.
Papa whimpered and looked at her with its round eyes, just like its owner.
She immediately spent a huge amount of money to buy a bunch of canned pet food in the mall, and coaxed her softly, "Sleep with your sister tonight, and your sister will feed you delicious food."
Papa's mood immediately improved and he pounced on her again.
"Sister is going to cook, be good." Yu Zhile immediately stopped her, stood up, washed her hands and cooked.
The method of making cuttlefish beans is very simple.
Add ginger, scallion and garlic into hot oil and stir-fry until fragrant. Pour in cuttlefish beans and stir-fry until they change color. Add sauces to taste, stir well and serve.
The last dish is stir-fried glutinous rice vine stems and leaves. The process is the same as stir-fried cuttlefish, but the time is shorter.
"Hmm, so fragrant and delicious." The first thing Chen Zhao picked up with his chopsticks was the salt and pepper mantis shrimp.
He first sucked the pepper and salt on the surface of the shrimp shell, his eyes widened, and then he couldn't wait to peel the shell and eat the meat.
The plump shrimp meat has been soaked in the flavor of pepper and salt. The combination of fresh, salty and fragrant makes him amazed. Then he drinks a mouthful of rice porridge, and his happiness doubles.
"Brother Zhou, can't you eat?" Chen Zhao ate happily and tilted his head to look at another patient.
Zhou Yuesheng's wound had not healed yet, and he could only drink porridge and eat stir-fried glutinous rice vines.
In Chen Zhao's opinion, abstaining from food in front of delicious food is simply torture among tortures.
"Eat your food. Who cares what he does?" Yu Zhile tapped the table with his index finger.
Chen Zhao glanced at Zhou Yuesheng with regretful eyes, then immersed himself in enjoying the food, taking a bite of shrimp meat and a bite of fried cuttlefish beans, eating happily.
"You can't eat it!" Yu Zhile glared at Zhou Yuesheng.
Zhou Yuesheng smiled helplessly and just drank the plain porridge.
After eating and drinking, Chen Zhao was responsible for washing the dishes.
After washing, he pulled up his clothes to wipe the water stains on his hands without any care, put his index finger to his nose, and said with a smile: "Tonight, I can smell the scent of my hands and drink a few bowls of porridge in my dreams."
After saying that, he took out a palm-sized notebook from his pocket and started writing hard, muttering to himself all the time.
Wash the loquat and place it in the middle of the table. The water droplets on the surface are reflected into a light yellow color by the candlelight.
Zhou Yuesheng was looking at Yu Zhile. The dim candlelight flickered, making her face look even softer.
"What are you looking at? Eat loquat." Yu Zhile's face turned red when he was stared at. He grabbed the loquat and stuffed it into his hand, but his wrist was grabbed.
Zhou Yuesheng rubbed his thumb over the cloud symbol.
He leaned close to Yu Zhile, his eyes deep and fiery, and whispered: "Master, the puppy was wrong, please punish me."
The heat suddenly occupied Yu Zhile's brain. She only saw Zhou Yuesheng's mouth opening and closing, but could not hear any sound.
A sudden knock on the door broke the charming atmosphere. Yu Zhile suddenly came back to his senses, bit his lip, and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about."
The moment she turned around, Zhou Yuesheng restrained his emotions and remained as cold as usual.
The person who came was Zhang Zhenhua, carrying a lot of bags, and his eyes narrowed into slits due to his smile.
"What are you doing at my house at this time?" Yu Zhile said in a bad tone, attracting the attention of others.
Faced with her attitude, Zhang Zhenhua was not annoyed. He squeezed into the yard through the narrow gap in the door, walked quickly to the table and put down his things.
Afterwards, he began to show concern for Yue and Yu Chi.
"Xiao Yue is looking better and better. Xiao Chi has grown so tall now? Has he been sent to school?"
As he said this, he was about to reach out to touch Yu Chi's head, but Yu Chi dodged and hid behind Zhou Yuesheng.
Zhang Zhenhua took back his lost hand and smiled awkwardly: "Xiao Chi is still so shy."
Then, he squatted down and looked at Yu Chi at eye level, and said in a gentle tone: "Xiao Chi, I am your uncle-in-law, we are a family, don't be afraid."
"What kind of drama are you putting on?" Yu Yue sneered coldly.
"Xiao Yue, it was my uncle who was wrong in the past, so it's normal for you to be angry with me." Zhang Zhenhua still smiled, mixed with some regret, "But now my eldest brother is gone, and my second and third brothers have to take care of our family, and my fourth brother has been missing for many years. I will definitely help Taohong take good care of you."
Missing uncle? Zhou Yuesheng went through Yu Zhile's information in his mind, but there was no such person.
"Does Yu Taohong know that you said this?" Yu Zhile walked behind Yu Yue, put his hands on his shoulders, and calmed him down.
Zhang Zhenhua quickly replied: "Of course, your aunt is just hard on the outside but soft on the inside. She picked this flower especially for you."
"Oh?" Yu Zhile raised her index finger, and the bright pink hair ornament fell between her fingers, allowing her to roll it into a round or flat shape.
"Le Ni, don't worry, your aunt and uncle will take good care of you." Zhang Zhenhua patted his chest and promised.
"Then can my uncle lend me a thousand yuan?" Yu Zhile's eyes were filled with tears in a second. "I want to take my mother and Xiaoyue to a big hospital in Beijing for treatment."
The corners of Zhang Zhenhua's mouth twitched twice, and he almost couldn't maintain his smile, and his words were evasive in his answer.
He glanced at Zhou Yuesheng and asked Yu Zhile to go aside and talk.
"Le Ni, I'm here for an important matter. A few days ago, your aunt found a fortune teller who said that the remaining soul of your eldest brother is trapping your eldest sister-in-law in the relics. Only when the ghost is driven away can your eldest sister-in-law wake up." Zhang Zhenhua's voice was as soft as a mosquito's.
Yu Zhile covered his mouth and glared, then asked in a trembling voice: "Really...really?"
Zhang Zhenhua nodded solemnly.
"Brother Sheng, my uncle said he wanted to exorcise ghosts from dad's belongings." Yu Zhile shouted to Zhou Yuesheng.
