"Quick! Don't let them get away!"
Ruan Meng reminded him, and Sun Chengen quickly put the jumping shrimp into the bucket.
A-Yuan, carrying only one bucket, moved much more swiftly. Fish and shrimp flew out of the water from time to time, so fast that Xiao-Kai was startled and leaned back.
A-Yuan helped him up, his movements as he caught the fish and shrimp were dazzling.
When the branches were half-burned, Ruan Meng hurried back to get more and replaced the full bucket with an empty one.
When I got a little tired and stopped, I realized that I had filled four buckets to the brim.
The third brother had already started burning tree branches in the pit and was controlling the heat.
The second brother washed the pot and wooden spatula clean. When the water was still and the drumming stopped, the group gathered around.
The lighting was poor at night, making it difficult to clean the heads of the prawns. Ruan Meng demonstrated to the group how to remove the heads, devein, and scrub the prawns clean.
Besides prawns, flying fish also flew out of the water just now.
Ruan Meng personally demonstrated how to remove the internal organs, took out the bamboo skewers used for skewering meat during the day, skewered the flying fish, and stuck them next to the fire pit to slowly roast them.
While the others were busy, Ruan Meng quietly entered the stone house, prepared the dipping sauce, and took out Sichuan peppercorn powder, Sichuan peppercorn powder, oyster sauce, salt and other sauces from the kitchen.
Apart from Sun Chengen standing to the side, the group moved quickly and soon prepared a plate of shrimp.
As Ruan Meng prepared to clean, Sun Chengen silently took over and cleaned it very carefully.
As the flying fish body heats up, Ruan Meng applies the prepared sauce to the fish and slowly flips it over.
After peeling the shrimp, A Yuan and Xiao Kai peeled out two more plates of meat.
"There looked like there were several buckets, but I didn't expect to find so little meat inside."
As A Yuan was preparing to wash, he was surprised to find that Sun Chengen hadn't gotten up to help either.
Ruan Meng sautéed the washed shrimp meat in a pot over low heat until fragrant, then poured on the sauce and simmered it until cooked.
A bucket of shrimp and flying fish was specially reserved for the eldest brother, sister-in-law, and Liu Jie, which the second brother carried to the kitchen.
When the pot lid was removed, several faces crowded around the pot.
"This is crayfish?"
Ruan Meng nodded. Although it wasn't the crayfish from her previous life, it really did look like a crayfish in terms of size and shape.
Ruan Meng had been thinking about the few shrimp she caught last time.
The shrimp meat was divided into individual bowls, and everyone found it to be very fresh. Ruan Meng rubbed Sichuan peppercorn powder and Sichuan peppercorn powder on the fish, while the braised shrimp meat was made with Sichuan peppercorn and Sichuan peppercorn powder, making the flavor even richer.
If she weren't worried about waking her older brother, sister-in-law, and Liu Jie, Ruan Meng would have taken out wild scallions from the kitchen to use as a base.
Wow! It smells so good!
Ah Yuan couldn't help but exclaim, "Young Master, please try it! This is the first time I've ever tasted such delicious shrimp!"
The third brother didn't have time to make a sound, and he took down several in a row!
The second brother looked at Ruan Meng and said, "Little sister, hurry up and eat!"
Sun Chengen finished eating one politely, his expression not changing significantly, but it was quite different from when he ate the dish with water on top earlier.
"There's not much meat in the pincers, but it's still edible."
Ruan Meng reminded her.
Even Xiao Kai had never eaten shrimp claws before, partly because the number of prawns caught in a single batch was not large...
Secondly, the mantis shrimp's tail is only about half the size of a palm. Fishermen usually boil it, but they don't taste any freshness. They just bite out the shrimp meat and throw it away, while the claws go unnoticed...
When they took a bite, everyone showed expressions of surprise and delight.
Although there is little meat in the shrimp claws, they are very flavorful when you lick them, and the meat inside is exceptionally tender.
The group remained silent, too busy to speak.
Ruan Meng silently handed the grilled flying fish to everyone.
The aroma of the flying fish, now charred, once again astonished the group.
The skin is crispy, the fish meat is tender and smooth, the seasoning is just right, and the aftertaste is unforgettable.
But compared to each other, the group still preferred braised shrimp.
Ruan Meng chuckled. Braised crayfish, who could resist!
As the group gathered around the pit, their smiles radiating satisfaction, a familiar voice came from behind them.
