It was indeed cold outside, and Ye Beiping drove very carefully, afraid that the tires would slip.
There were no snow tires or similar products back then.
Tao Qiuyan said happily, "Today, Beiping sent some seafood from Hangzhou, saying that he wanted Mom to try it."
As soon as she entered the house, the old lady heard Tao Qiuyan's words and immediately perked up.
"Seafood? You really bought it?"
The old lady would certainly not refuse her grandson's filial piety.
After inviting the group into the house, Ye Beiping noticed that the cardboard box he was holding was a little damp.
There was no way around it; the house was warm, and the car was warm too, so some of the ice inside had melted along the way.
Upon opening the box, the grandparents and uncle Tao Shengli marveled at the sight of each lobster weighing three pounds.
Grandpa frowned: "I've lived this long, and this is the first time I've ever seen such a big shrimp."
“Me too,” Grandma interjected.
Even his uncle, Tao Shengli, was very curious: "Will these, whether dead or alive, bite people?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Beiping and Su Xinyi immediately burst out laughing.
"Uncle, these lobsters must be dead. How could they have been transported here alive? And they're frozen. They won't taste good if they thaw tomorrow. Hurry up and make dinner."
"Okay, okay." Tao Shengli nodded repeatedly, then paused in his steps toward the kitchen, saying somewhat awkwardly, "Well, Beiping, I... I don't know how to cook shrimp."
All eyes turned to Ye Beiping.
Because among everyone here, he's probably the only one who knows how to do it.
Ye Beiping then realized what was happening and had no choice but to follow his uncle Tao Shengli to the kitchen.
"How do I do this?" Tao Shengli circled the lobster for a long time, but couldn't figure out where to start.
Ye Beiping, who had prepared some things, walked over, picked up the lobster, and swiftly chopped it down.
I deftly made a cut down the back of the lobster and then removed the inedible parts inside.
Finally, a cut was made in each of the two pincers, revealing white, unidentified flesh inside.
Only then did he explain, "Just process the lobster and steam it. Uncle, go get some garlic, and make a lot of it, mince it."
"Cut it into a paste?" This was the first time Tao Shengli had ever heard of cooking like this.
I was surprised, but I immediately grabbed three cloves of garlic and started peeling them.
After Ye Beiping finished preparing the lobsters, he came over and was speechless when he saw Tao Shengli's stingy appearance. He then took a dozen or so garlic cloves from the basket next to him.
First tap, then start dialing.
"Beiping, isn't this too much?" Tao Shengli said with some concern.
Although garlic isn't anything particularly precious, it's still expensive.
Ye Beiping explained without looking up, "Two lobsters this big won't taste good if the seasoning isn't right. We need to add some heavy seasoning to make them worthy of them."
After thinking about it, Tao Shengli felt relieved.
Indeed, these two things don't look cheap, and it would be a waste not to cook them well.
Soon, the sound of chopping vegetables came from the kitchen.
One sound after another, just like chopping dumpling filling.
Curious, Tao Qiuyan went inside and found Ye Beiping chopping a white thing that didn't look like meat.
"Beiping, what are you chopping up? Why are you chopping so enthusiastically?"
"Minced garlic," Ye Beiping replied casually.
"Mud?" Tao Qiuyan was startled, thinking that mud was needed to cook lobsters?
But then I thought, where did all this white mud come from?
Then I realized it was probably just a figure of speech.
After going to Hangzhou, Tao Qiuyan learned about a lot of delicious food. Not only did Aunt Li talk about it, but she also saw some dishes and their names when she went to state-run restaurants.
What is this "Fish-Flavored Shredded Pork"? It clearly doesn't contain any fish, yet it's called that.
And then there's the "ants climbing a tree" thing, which is clearly vermicelli, but there are no ants at all.
She was initially curious, but after Ye Beiping explained it to her, she finally understood what an adjective was.
One lobster is steamed and topped with minced garlic, while the other is deep-fried and then topped with minced garlic.
The two lobsters were cooked in no time.
Because they all use earthen stoves, the heat is definitely just right.
The speed is also very fast.
Seeing the two lobsters turned into a dish, Grandma immediately frowned: "What is this? How come there are so many?"
There was no lobster meat inside, but there was a lot of minced garlic, which puzzled my grandmother.
After Ye Beiping explained, Grandma finally understood.
"This isn't eating meat, it's eating money."
puff!
Hahaha!
Everyone burst into laughter instantly.
Although Grandma was unhappy, she didn't say anything. Her children and grandchildren were being filial and bought it for her to try, not to eat every day.
But when Ye Beiping picked up a piece of lobster meat for his grandmother to try, the old lady's eyes lit up instantly.
Especially the taste of lobster meat paired with minced garlic...
Maybe I just couldn't think of the right word, but anyway, I wanted to have a second bite.
