Chapter 162: Fried Leeks and Sea Intestines
In the middle, Song Shiwei still felt that there were not enough people. After the tide rose at around 7 or 8 in the evening, the beach would be more dangerous, so he asked Li Dazhuang to call some people.
Hundreds of people were busy at the beach, and it was not until sunset that most of the sea cucumbers on the beach were gone.
Song Shiwei has been busy since four or five o'clock, weighing things non-stop, but weighing is not an easy job, and she felt tired after a while.
Afraid that her body couldn't handle it, she simply asked Li Dazhuang to help her weigh the things, and she watched from the side. She would give him a reward anyway.
Li Dazhuang was naturally happy too.
Finally, when the tide started to rise, Song Shiwei harvested more than 700 kilograms of sea sausage skin!
A dozen large pots!
These pots were borrowed from her fellow villagers.
When it’s used up tomorrow, I’ll have someone deliver it to them!
Knowing that she was a family member of the army, those people readily agreed. Li Dazhuang also found a few strong laborers to help carry her back.
The sisters-in-law who were tying the mops had not finished their work yet. When they saw dozens of people following Song Shiwei and carrying more than a dozen large basins of sea cucumbers, they were a little confused.
"Weiwei, what are you doing?"
"Oh my god, how did you get so many sea sausages?"
"That's right, Weiwei, even if this thing is edible, can you finish it?"
.........
Song Shi smiled and said, "I'm sure I can't finish it, but I have other uses for it!"
When Sun Meimei, Wang Chunxiang and Jian Qiu heard this, they looked at each other, stood up and followed.
After following Song Shiwei into the house, Sun Meimei took her hand and said, "Weiwei, tell me the truth, is this another way of making money?"
Song Shi smiled and said, "Whether it will make money or not, I'm not sure yet, but I want to try!"
Wang Chunxiang's eyes sparkled: "How sure are you?"
Song Shiwei thought for a moment and said, "Half and half?"
When Wang Chunxiang heard this, she couldn't help but become curious.
"Then Weiwei, can you tell us what you want this sea cucumber for?"
Song Shiwei didn't want to hide it. She couldn't make so much sea rice rolls by herself, and she had to rely on the help of her sisters-in-law!
"I want this sea sausage to make sea sausage rice noodles! Do you want to do it?"
Hearing that they could earn money by working, they all became interested.
"How do we do it? Weiwei, tell me!"
Song Shiwei told them how to make it and what precautions to take during the process.
"First, wash the sea cucumber with water to remove the mucus on the outside, or scald it with hot water. It will be fine as long as the mucus is removed. Then, after you finish your meal, clean the pot at home. You don't need to add oil or anything else. Just put the cleaned sea cucumber in it and dry it over low heat. Turn it over from time to time to prevent it from getting burnt! Cook until there is no moisture at all and you can hear the sea cucumber skin rustling inside. That's it!"
Sun Meimei and the others listened and nodded continuously.
"Then Weiwei, how much of this pound of wet sea sausage will be left after it is dried?"
Song Shiwei had not done any specific calculations either.
"About 20% to 30% of the weight will be left! But don't worry, I'll give you 20 cents per pound of this dried sea cucumber. Are you willing to do it?"
When Sun Meimei and the others heard this, they immediately nodded frantically: "Yes! Of course we are willing!"
However, Jian Qiu looked at the dozen or so large basins of sea cucumbers in front of him and felt a little worried.
"Weiwei, if it's just the few of us, we won't be able to finish it even if we work until dawn, right?"
Song Shi smiled and said, "It's definitely not possible with just a few of us, so Meimei, you have to find a few people to work with us. Let's try to finish them tonight, otherwise they won't be fresh until tomorrow."
The sea cucumber must be cooked quickly after it is shredded, otherwise it will go bad if left for too long!
When Sun Meimei heard this, she hurried to look for people. Of course, she didn't look for too many people because she, Wang Chunxiang and Jian Qiu had agreed to work late tonight.
This way you can make more money!
Song Shiwei naturally would not stay up late with them. She planned to have dinner, make a pot for herself, and go to bed. She would leave the rest to them!
Every family has to cook at this time, so Song Shiwei simply scooped a bag of food from the basin for each of them and asked them to go back and cook.
Sun Meimei's face changed when she saw the sea cucumbers.
"Weiwei, forget about helping you make that sea rice noodle roll. I don't dare eat it. It's disgusting just by looking at it!"
Jian Qiu also waved his hands repeatedly.
"I just can't eat it!"
Wang Chunxiang was brave enough to take the bag Song Shiwei handed to her and said with a smile, "You guys don't dare to eat it, so I will! I want to taste what this thing tastes like!"
As she spoke she blinked, with an obvious mocking expression on her face.
Seeing Sun Meimei and the others rolling their eyes at her, Song Shiwei covered her mouth and smiled: "Don't worry, this sea cucumber really doesn't have any weird smell! It's very fresh!"
Wang Chunxiang nudged Song Shiwei's shoulder and said, "Weiwei, can you please teach me how to make this? I don't know how to make it! How do I eat it?"
Sun Meimei laughed at her: "You don't know how to eat it, but you still want to eat it?"
Wang Chunxiang grinned: "What's there to be afraid of? Weiwei said it's delicious, so I think it must be good. We haven't tried it yet, so let's just try it out!"
When Sun Meimei heard this, it seemed to make sense. She had indeed never tasted the sea cucumber. Although it did not look good, just like Wang Chunxiang said, she at least had to taste it!
If someone asks her, she will be able to tell it.
Wang Chunxiang can’t be the only one bragging about herself at that time!
Thinking of this, she reached out and took the bag that Song Shiwei gave her.
"Then I'll try it too!"
When Jian Qiu saw that they both wanted to try it, she hesitated for a moment and took it too.
"Then I'll try it too! But Weiwei, you have to teach us how to do it!"
Song Shi rolled up his sleeves with a smile.
"It's hard to say. It's time for me to cook. I'll show you how to cook!"
As she spoke, she cleaned the pot, poured water in it, and started to light the fire.
When the water boils, put a large plate of sea cucumbers into the pot, blanch them for three seconds, and then quickly take them out.
Sun Meimei was a little confused: "Weiwei, you just let the sea cucumber kiss the boiling water and then fished it out, what are you doing?"
Wang Chunxiang laughed when she heard this: "Hahaha, you should say that kissing takes longer than this~"
Song Shiwei was amused by the two of them and quickly explained.
"This is to scald off the mucus on the outside. If you scald it for too long, the sea cucumber won't have that crispy texture. We'll have to fry it later! We don't have to scald it to cook it!"
Several people nodded as they listened.
"I've got it, just blanch it for three seconds!"
"This thing is really rare to eat, and I only know how to make it a little bit!"
“That’s right!”
Song Shiwei grabbed a handful of leeks, picked them, washed them, and put them on the chopping board.
"Let's make this dish of fried leeks and sea cucumber today!"
