Chapter 34 Spicy Fried Seafood
Song Shiwei walked around with a pair of coal tongs, catching a mantis shrimp, a swimming crab, a cat's eye snail, a scallop, a blood clam, and a few tilapia trapped in the cracks of the rocks.
There aren't a lot of things, but the quality is very good.
Zhou Wei and Zhou Xinxin followed behind her, watching in amazement.
The new mother is so amazing, she catches the baby accurately with every forceps.
In fact, Song Shiwei felt that it was not suitable at all.
These pliers are not easy to use, they are too thin!
It’s not easy to catch fish, but the mantis shrimps are very fat at this time!
It looks very yellow at first glance, but these mantis shrimps are also very smart. They can dig holes and drill into the holes.
Thinking of the modern shrimp catchers, she couldn't help but feel envious. It would be great if she had a shrimp catcher at this time.
However, she once did a coastal food program, discussed with local fishermen, and saw their homemade shrimp catchers.
In fact, the principle is similar to that of pumping a tire.
She can ask later if anyone has an unused air hose, and she can give them something to replace it!
Just then, Song Shiwei saw a large piece of crystal clear object on the shallows next to him.
Her eyes suddenly lit up.
Isn't this a jellyfish?
Just as she was about to go forward to catch her, the villagers who were always keeping an eye on her movements hurriedly tried to dissuade her.
"Little girl, you can't eat this. It stings! It's poisonous!!"
Song Shi smiled.
"Uncle, this thing is called jellyfish, it's edible! It's delicious when eaten cold!"
The old man obviously didn't believe it. After all, they had lived by the sea all their lives, and they knew that this thing could sting people. It would be very painful to be stung!
Just like acupuncture, you need to apply alum to relieve the pain!
Every year, there are cases of people in the village who go fishing in the sea being stung by this thing, so the villagers hate this thing very much!
Seeing Song Shiwei using pliers to pick up the thing and put it into the bucket next to him, preparing to take it back, he couldn't help but shake his head.
"Little girl, don't blame me for not reminding you. If you have any problems with your food, don't look for me!"
Hearing his words, even Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin frowned visibly. They had heard about this when they were young. They often heard that so-and-so went to the sea to fish and got stung!
Zhou Wei looked at the jellyfish squirming in the bucket and couldn't help but ask Song Shiwei timidly: "Is this thing really edible? Will it kill people?"
Song Shiwei smiled helplessly: "Don't worry, this thing stings when it's alive, but it's a delicacy when it's dead! I'll make it for you tonight, and you'll know when you try it!"
There are already a lot of things, and most of the salt in the jar has been used up. The sun is setting and it will be dark soon. It's time to go home and cook dinner.
She waved to the children.
"Let's go home and make you something delicious!"
When the children heard this, they happily followed her home.
As soon as I arrived at the door of my house, I saw it was a mess. The originally good vegetable garden was now full of holes dug here and there, with a lot of soil scattered on the ground and all over the doorway.
Sun Meimei from next door came out to get water and saw them coming back. She followed Song Shiwei's gaze to the messy vegetable garden and sighed.
"Not long after you left this afternoon, Zhou Xiaomei came. She said that all the vegetables in the garden were grown by her, so why should you get them for free? Then she took a shovel and dug up all the vegetables, including the roots and leaves!"
I thought Song Shiwei would be angry, but she just smiled faintly.
"It's better to dig it up, so I don't have to do it myself! It happens to be that I want to make some other things myself!"
As if he remembered the eggs that Sun Meimei had given him before, he hurriedly grabbed a handful of clams from Zhou Lin's bucket and handed them to her.
"Sister-in-law, these are what the kids and I just caught. Take them back and cook them for the kids!"
But when Sun Meimei saw the clams, her eyes lit up first, and then she smiled bitterly: "Sister, although I also want to make it for my children to try, but your sister-in-law and I are from the northwest, I have never seen this thing, let alone how to make it!"
When Song Shiwei heard this, he simply pulled his hand back.
"Is that so? Then when I'm done, I'll ask Lin Zi to bring you a bowl! Let the children have a taste!"
Sun Meimei felt happy and embarrassed after hearing this.
"Well, how can I feel good about that?"
Song Shi smiled and raised his hand: "What's there to be embarrassed about? I haven't thanked you for the eggs you gave me yet. Besides, it is said that a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. I may need your help in the future if I need anything!"
Hearing her say this, Sun Meimei felt so relieved and instantly felt that her relationship with Song Shiwei became closer.
My impression of her has improved a lot.
This little girl is really nice. Not only can she talk, but she is also very good at dealing with people. She is likable just by looking at her.
Looking at her back as she brought several children into the house, she couldn't help but sigh, it seems that Zhou Tingyue has married a good wife this time!
When they got home, Song Shiwei let the children go play and she started to prepare the seafood.
As the saying goes, live by the mountain, eat from the mountain; live by the sea, eat from the sea!
If you go fishing every day, will you still worry about having nothing to eat?
Especially in this era, the fishing industry was not well developed, and not many people went to the beach to pick up these seafood.
The shrimps and crabs were like cabbages, and you could pick up a basketful of them in a short time.
But usually it is the local villagers who pick them up.
Song Shiwei also didn't understand why no other family members went to pick up these things!
Thinking of Sun Meimei's envious and fearful look, she probably understood.
The wives of soldiers who come here to follow the army are basically from other places. They don't know the geographical environment and living habits here, let alone going to the sea. They probably don't know which things are edible and which are not and are poisonous. They are afraid that if they pick up the wrong thing, it will be a disaster and someone will die from it.
If she hadn't been a food anchor in her previous life and hadn't grown up by the sea, she wouldn't have dared to pick it up casually!
Wash the clams, soak them, add some salt, and let them spit out the sand.
Just pick up a brush to clean the crabs and shrimps, add some ginger slices and prepare to steam the swimming crabs.
She planned to use a clay pot to make some spicy stir-fried seafood, including cat's eye snails, scallops, blood clams, shrimps, and razor clams.
There was no chili garlic sauce here, so she could only stir-fry some green and red peppers and minced garlic.
She didn't have any green or red peppers, so she borrowed them from Jian Qiu's house.
These sisters-in-law were very nice. As soon as they heard what she wanted, they would get it for her as long as they had it at home.
The dried red peppers were given by Wang Chunxiang, the sister-in-law of Deputy Headman Qian from the fourth family.
Everything is ready, Song Shiwei is ready to start cooking.
Heat oil in a pan, stir-fry scallions, ginger, garlic, and dried chilies, add the garlic chili sauce that has been fried in advance, add five-spice powder and soy sauce and stir-fry until fragrant!
Then pour in the processed cat's eye snail meat, scallops, blood clams, mantis shrimp and razor clams, stir-fry for two minutes, then add beer and water!
After the water boils, turn off the heat, cover the pot and simmer for two minutes before serving.
As soon as you lift the lid, the fragrance comes out instantly.
The fresh aroma of seafood mixed with the fragrance of minced garlic and chili almost filled the entire family compound. It was dinner time at this time, and many people couldn't help but sniff.
"It smells so good, who's cooking? Why does it smell so good?"
"That's right, what's that smell? Why is it so fragrant?"
But at this time, Zhou Xiaomei's family was in big trouble.
