The spring sun makes people feel lazy. When Jiang Yanyue woke up, it was already four or five in the afternoon.
It was a little early to go back and cook, so Jiang Yanyue simply took off her shoes and went to play in the clear and cool Baihe River.
Then Jiang Yanyue discovered that the riverbed was not covered with small stones, but with clams, snails, and small fish and shrimps.
Jiang Yanyue took one and observed it, and found that it was a little bigger than a real snail, and was considered a giant among snails.
Jiang Yanyue immediately took out a large basin. Yi Yuan dug it out from a big tree that two or three people could hug together. Jiang Yanyue could sit directly in it.
"Come on, let's change the taste!" Jiang Yanyue put down the basin and went into the river first.
As soon as the males saw her take out the large basin, they knew what she was going to do, and all of them came over except Wu Chen, who had pandas all over his body.
Although the drunken shrimp last time didn’t have much meat, it was still quite delicious. After eating too much fish and meat, it’s nice to find something fresh to change the taste.
"No, is the meat of this thing enough to fill the gaps between teeth?" Jiang Yanyue had already picked up several handfuls of snails and put them in the basin. Qinglan squatted down to check. To be honest, no orc had ever regarded such small things as meat.
"It's okay, it's the same if you catch more." Yi Yuan has always doted on Jiang Yanyue. As long as she wants to eat, Yi Yuan can get her anything.
"Haven't you eaten it? Spicy fried snails are delicious!" Jiang Yanyue scooped up another handful.
"I'm sure you can eat this, but there's only so much meat, and you have to figure out how to lift it out. Isn't it a bit of a waste to eat this?"
Liuxia explained that no one in the animal world eats snails.
The animal world is also rich in resources, and there are too many delicious, large, and ready-made meats to eat. Of course, no one would set their sights on snails, which have little meat and are difficult to obtain.
Jiang Yanyue felt that she was about to develop another delicacy for the beast world.
However, Jiang Yanyue did not act rashly. She used [Identification] to determine whether this species that looked like a snail was edible.
[Toothpick Snails]: As the name suggests, these snails are eaten with toothpicks. They need to be blanched in boiling water before being formally cooked. You have to spit out the sand from such a small amount of meat and cut its butt, which is not very sensible.
Jiang Yanyue knew that fellow villagers are always gods!
With the official certification from her fellow villager, Jiang Yanyue no longer had any worries. She went down to the river to kuku and caught not only snails, but also clams, eels, and loaches. She was not picky about what she could catch.
Jiang Yanyue worked hard until sunset. The big basin was full, but there was no less food in the river.
The little things by the river are really never allowed to be eaten. If you just touch the shallow riverbed, you will find lots of good things.
Jiang Yanyue took the spoils back to the warehouse, only collecting the contents and not the basins. The snails, clams, eels, loaches, and carp were naturally divided into different types.
I put some small fish and shrimps that I caught by mistake back into the river, and went home with my friends facing the sunset.
Next to it was a giant panda with a bunch of small pandas hanging on it like dolls.
They hung on adults with their claws and swung back and forth like swings with the giant panda's swaying steps.
Go home and find the largest pot. Follow the instructions on [Identification] and blanch the snails several times to remove the dirt.
Then sauté the scallions, ginger, garlic, peppercorns, dried chilies, and broad bean paste, then add the snails and stir-fry.
"Wu Chen, did you add the seasoning?" Jiang Yanyue pointed at the star anise, bay leaves and chili peppers that had not yet been put into the pot.
"No, put those later so that the flavors blend better." Wu Chen shook the wok so hard that flames came out of the pot.
Jiang Yanyue took a step back. Wu Chen, who was cooking with an expressionless face, always had an indescribable aura.
At the beginning, Jiang Yanyue could still give some instructions with her mouth. Anyway, with enough seasoning and control of the heat, the dish would definitely taste better than meat boiled in salt water.
But the males had already evolved without her noticing, and what seasonings to pair with which, what to put in first and what to put in later, were all beyond the comprehension of a kitchen idiot like her who only knew how to order takeout.
Wu Chen put three cans of beer in at once to cover the snails. The pot at home was a big iron pot that could feed more than a dozen people, and the amount of food in one pot was quite large.
Only the arm strength of males can flip the ladle so evenly and effortlessly.
Jiang Yanyue bought two boxes of beer and put them in the kitchen. They often cook crayfish at home, so beer is always on hand, but there was not enough beer left over from the last time they made crayfish.
Tonight is a special evening for appetizers. Wu Chen first fried a pot of snails, then deep-fried some minnows, poured sweet and sour sauce over them, and then stir-fried some sea cucumbers. Finally, he had some cold jellyfish, a plate of peanuts, and some chilled thick mung bean porridge. This meal was really too sumptuous.
While Wu Chen was cooking, Yi Yuan had already sharpened the toothpicks. They were slightly longer and thicker than ordinary toothpicks, making it easier to pick out meat.
Jiang Yanyue also demonstrated how to pick snails. The males followed suit and picked a few, but felt it was unnecessary and just sucked the meat out with their mouths.
Although it was just like Zhu Bajie eating the ginseng fruit, he tasted the flavor and the meat disappeared in a flash.
Jiang Yanyue sucked it, but no meat came out, so she just used a toothpick to pick it out.
Qinglan moved quickly and quickly picked out a full bowl of snail meat, poured some soul juice on it, and then placed it in front of Jiang Yanyue.
Jiang Yanyue raised her eyebrows, "Big Goose, you can do it."
Qinglan hummed twice in satisfaction.
The other three knocked on the bowls in front of them in dissatisfaction, "I advise you to be quiet, otherwise the meat will be gone."
Jiang Yanyue shut up, zipped up her mouth with her hand, and acted like a good boy who listened to advice.
Jiang Yanyue scooped a full spoonful of snail meat into her mouth. The spicy taste was infinitely magnified, and the unique chewy texture made people unable to stop.
Sure enough, no matter what kind of meat it is, you should eat it in big mouthfuls to know how delicious it is!
"I'm going to get some wine from the house. Do you want some?" Jiang Yanyue felt that it would be unreasonable not to have some food on the table.
"I want the blue one. I haven't tried it yet." Qinglan was the first to speak.
The refrigerator given by the Mother Goddess contains low-alcohol cocktails of various colors. In terms of palatability, Jiang Yanyue feels that cocktails are better than beer. The males also think so and have already tried some.
"Then I also want a white one that I haven't tried yet." Liuxia said.
"Then I'll have the bright red one."
Jiang Yanyue finally looked at Wuchen.
"I don't think I've ever drunk it." Wu Chen looked at Jiang Yanyue, feeling inexplicably aggrieved.
"Then why don't you try it? Cocktails are not very strong, lower than beer." Jiang Yanyue suggested.
Wu Chen nodded. A family should be together and everything should be fine. Everyone should have everything, so why didn’t he have any?
Jiang Yanyue disappeared from the spot and reappeared a moment later with a small bucket in her hand. "Wu Chen, some ice."
Wu Chen filled half a bucket with ice, and then Jiang Yanyue put the wine and ice cream she brought in.
Although the warehouse can also keep warm, it is still more atmospheric to display it outside.
