Chapter 304 Seafood Dinner~!
He Donglai was stunned for a moment.
Then, a faint smile appeared on the man's angular face.
His thin lips were raised, and his dark pupils shone behind the lenses.
In the deepest corner of He Donglai's heart, a stone fell to the ground.
What he feared most was that Song Qingqian would not be able to adapt to the hard life. Now, this is no longer a problem.
This island has become their home.
It was rare for Song Qingqian to see such a clear and definite expression on He Donglai's face.
He Donglai is quiet and introverted, and is used to keeping all his emotions hidden deep in his heart.
When he smiled, not only his eyes were bright, but his eyebrows also looked more handsome.
There was an indescribable slight heat on Song Qingqian's face.
The small red phoenix eyes drooped slightly.
There was a quick flash of shyness.
Amid the noisy environment around them, Song Qingqian spoke in a low voice.
"I also like the sunrise you took me to see."
He Donglai didn't understand these words clearly.
He lowered his head, moved closer to Song Qingqian's face, and asked in a low voice.
"What did you say?"
Song Qingqian raised the corner of her eyes, raised her chin slightly and turned her head away.
He has an arrogant look, a smile on his lips and peach blossoms in his eyes.
Very beautiful and very gorgeous.
Like a rose with thorns.
snort.
I never say good things a second time.
He Donglai stared at Song Qingqian's profile with gentle eyes.
Even the mud on the side of Song Qingqian's cheek looked cute.
In front.
Jiang Rou's voice was heard.
"Qingqian, Captain Hey, come to our house for dinner tonight. We'll have seafood and barbecue together!"
"good!"
Song Qingqian stood on tiptoe and answered in a loud voice.
…
Zhou family courtyard.
The originally spacious space became so crowded for the first time, filled with people.
There are not only Song Qingqian and He Donglai.
There is also Song Yan, who was invited by Jiang Rou.
In addition, there are Zhao Guifen and Zhao Guosheng from the next house, as well as their two children, Da Huzi and Er Huzi.
Zhao Guifen doesn't know how to cook seafood, so she came here to learn the skill from a master.
Why not just combine the two families?
There were many people, and the meal was lively.
The cool summer evening breeze finally dissipated the day's sultry heat.
Jiang Rou and the other two had been on the beach for an entire afternoon and were feeling sticky and uncomfortable, so they simply took a quick shower before making dinner.
Wait until she comes out.
He Donglai had already re-pulled the electric wires, and Zhou Chongshan had erected a tall wooden rack. The two of them hung electric lights high up, illuminating the small courtyard in the night.
Zhao Guifen and Song Qingqian looked at Jiang Rou's small vegetable garden with great interest.
The eggplants are so plump, the cucumbers are so crisp, the leeks grow densely, and even the green vegetables are particularly strong.
People who are born with green fingers are special.
After Jiang Rou came out, she immediately prepared to wash the seafood.
I just took a few steps.
Her hand was held by Zhou Chongshan's sweaty hand.
Big and hot.
"Wife, don't be busy tonight. I'll cook."
Jiang Rou looked up at him, "Can you do it?"
"No." Zhou Chongshan was honest, and he didn't blush or feel nervous when he said that he didn't know how to do it. He continued calmly, "I can learn it. You teach me."
His fingertips gently touched Jiang Rou's palm.
Jiang Rou understood everything now.
The wound on her hand was just a minor one from rubbing the rope, it wasn't serious at all.
But who wouldn't like being held in such high regard?
Besides, it’s just seafood tonight, so it’s not difficult to cook.
Beside the two.
Zhou Xiaochuan sensed something and came over and said, "I can help, too."
"Okay, I'll leave dinner to you guys."
Jiang Rou smiled and nodded.
The first thing they have to do is to prepare the seafood.
Put all kinds of shells and conches in the basin, sprinkle salt into the basin, or pour in sea water.
Can make shells spit out sand.
When you eat it, your mouth won’t be full of sand.
Then there are octopuses and crabs. These creatures can crawl, so they can’t be placed in the washbasin. They must be placed in a higher wooden barrel with a layer of shallow water at the bottom.
Jiang Rou planned to eat the rest of the oysters and rattan pot tonight.
Seafood tastes best when it's fresh, and in hot weather, these things don't last long.
After a brief thought, Jiang Rou began to "deploy her troops."
"Big crabs, mantis shrimp, conch, clams, octopus, and rattan pots... After washing them, just steam them."
Steaming is simple, and you don’t have to worry about the production steps, or whether it’s burnt or too much salt.
This was handed over to Zhou Chongshan and Zhou Xiaochuan. The father and son worked together, one doing the cleaning while the other made a fire and boiled water, working in perfect harmony.
"Wash the shells of the oysters and pry them in half. Since we are grilling them, let's grill the oysters with garlic sauce. I made the garlic sauce yesterday. It's very simple."
He Donglai took the initiative and said, "I'll do this."
Oysters feel rough and have sharp shells, which can easily cut your hands when washing them, and require a lot of strength to pry them open.
It is indeed He Donglai who does a better job.
"For vegetables, we can grill eggplants, peppers, cowpeas, leeks... and pick some green onions..."
These are all vegetables that are ready-made in the yard. They are picked and eaten right away. They are super fresh.
Song Qingqian took over the job, and Zhou Xiaohua immediately went to help with a vegetable basket.
Zhao Guifen asked anxiously from the side.
"Sister Rou, what about me? What about me? What should I do? You can't just let me eat ready-made food, right? I must do something too."
"Sister Guifen, I'm entrusting the most important thing to you!"
"What?"
“Making pancakes.”
Jiang Rou thought of the once popular Zibo barbecue method, a layer of bread, a sauce, a scallion, and a skewer of barbecued meat.
There is no barbecue, but grilled seafood is available.
Besides, everyone hasn’t had dinner, so they still need some staple food.
Noodles are also suitable.
When Zhao Guifen heard this, he was full of confidence and patted his chest and said.
"I'm good at this. I guarantee it will be quick and good, and the pancakes will be big and round. I'll go home and get some flour now."
Zhao Guifen was so happy that she went out happily and returned to her room.
Jiang Rou took out the iron plate that she had used to make pancakes. She could use it to make pancakes for Zhao Guifen, and also to make iron plate octopus later.
It is roasted until it is sizzling, then sprinkled with chili powder and chopped green onions. It is so fragrant.
besides.
Jiang Rou has another secret weapon, waiting to be used——
