Chapter 71 It's a Seafood Dinner

"Then director, please treat us to dinner tomorrow." Liu Rutong never accepts losses.

Director Zhu smiled and said, "Okay."

After returning to the cabin, they first put the things in Gu Yejin's room, and then went to wash their hands and feet.

"Or, let's go to the supermarket first." Xie Luoshu looked around and saw that all kinds of tools and seasonings were available, but there was nothing in the refrigerator. It would not be enough to just eat seafood, but he had to prepare a few other dishes.

The Lingyue Celebration will not start until 9pm, so there is still quite some time left.

"Then let's split into two groups, one to go to the supermarket and one to stay at home." Zou Jiayan said, "I'll apply to go to the supermarket."

"I'll go to the supermarket too." Bai Xueling thought for a moment, "In case there are some things Xiaoyan doesn't recognize."

Zou Jiayan: "Sister Ling, I am very smart."

"Really?" Bai Xueling raised her eyebrows and flipped through a photo. "What is this?"

"Isn't this scallion?" Zou Jiayan blurted out.

Bai Xueling sighed: "This is leek."

"It's okay, Sister Ling." Liu Ruotong said, "Supermarkets all have brands."

"It's mainly because children don't know how to pick vegetables."

"That's true." Liu Ruotong rolled up his sleeves, "I'll stay home and help with the seafood."

Since Xie Luoshu can cook, he naturally has to stay at home, not to mention Gu Yejin and Xie Luoshu's family.

"Thank you, just send the shopping list to the group."

"Okay." Xie Luoshu thought to himself. We had posted it in the group before, and no one had any dietary restrictions, so we had fried octopus, crab casserole, braised fish, small seafood in sauce, and clams soup. We also had stir-fried Chinese cabbage, lettuce with oyster sauce, and spinach and egg pancakes.

There were many of them, including several grown men, and the children were all in their growth stage, which was the age when they could grow and eat.

After making a shopping list and posting it in the group, you can start preparing the food. Put bamboo razor clams, conchs and white clams in clean water and add salt to spit out the sand. A few cat's eye snail babies wanted to play with them, so they were kept aside. Later, Xie Luoshu was worried and put mussels in the water to spit out the sand.

The body structure of jellyfish is quite special. Even dead jellyfish may still have some toxins. Moreover, jellyfish may be contaminated with various bacteria, parasites and other harmful pollutants in the natural environment. If you want to eat jellyfish, you should go through professional processing. After Xie Luoshu explained to Lili, Lili gave it to a passerby who was chasing the sea.

Although Xie Luoshu had cooked seafood at home before, it was all processed and shredded. The seafood in front of him was baring its fangs and claws, and he was a little afraid to get close.

"Brother Liu, I'm sorry to bother you." A fish suddenly became energetic and swam wildly in the pool, splashing water everywhere. Xie Luoshu was so scared that he took a few steps back.

"Don't worry." Liu Ruotong was quick to throw the fish onto the chopping board. Then he held the fish with one hand and knocked it unconscious with the back of the knife.

He moved as ferociously as a tiger, leaving Xie Luoshu stunned.

"Little dad~" Yanyan ran over holding a cat's eye snail, "Pinch it."

Xie Luoshu's hands were itchy, but he couldn't pinch them here, so he took the cat's eye snail to the side of the pool, stretched out his hand and squeezed it hard. This thing really relieved my stress.

"Uncle. Is there anything I can help you with?" Lulu is really a sensible child.

Gu Yejin found a few scrub brushes and said, "We don't have any now, come and help me later."

All kinds of shellfish and crabs must be scrubbed clean and washed repeatedly. Xie Luoshu didn't expect Gu Yejin to kill crabs. He always thought Gu Yejin was a young master who never touched women's water. Of course, he was also like that before.

Gu Yejin dumped the crab out, and the crab bared its claws and tried to break out. He gave the crab a bath with a brush, then pressed down on the crab's back shell, holding it tightly with his fingers to prevent it from moving. He then picked up a pair of scissors and inserted them precisely into the crab's abdomen, then pushed the scissors open with force, and the crab shell and crab belly were separated. He then quickly pulled out the crab's dirty insides, then cut off the crab gills and other unwanted parts, and finally cut the processed crab in half.

[I never expected that Mr. Gu had this skill.]

[Brother Liu is really good, he brushed his hands again and again, and the fish was caught.]

[Xie Luoshu can cook, but why can't he cook seafood?]

[I can cook, but I don’t care about seafood. It’s okay if it’s chopped, but it’s really not okay if it’s alive.]

[It’s so funny. Let alone fish, even a live shrimp can scare me half to death.]

[The cubs are so cute. We gathered in a circle and watched them spit out sand.]

[White Clam: Don’t look at me, look at the bamboo clam.]

[Bamboo clam: Don’t look at me, look at the conch next door.]

[Conch: Don’t look at me, look at Haihong… Why are you leaving?]

[Haihong has already started the next step in advance.]

There is not much sand in the clams, so you can clean it up in advance. While the kids are cleaning the clams, the fish have been killed and marinated with salt.

The purchasing team was also very efficient and completed the purchase in a short time.

"Let me see, leave these vegetables to me." Bai Xueling flipped through her phone. These dishes were simple and quick to prepare, and there was no rush, so she left the kitchen to Xie Luoshu. "You really don't need help?"

“No need.” Xie Luoshu looked around. All the dishes were ready and the seafood had been processed. The next step was to cook.

Freshly made small seafood in juice. After cooking various seafood, add secret seasoning and put it in the refrigerator. Bai Xueling saw that the shrimps were very fresh, so she bought a lot. After the shrimps are cooked, they need to be shelled to make them more flavorful. It happened that a few people had nothing to do, so they sat around the dining table and chatted while shelling.

"This was caught by the cub."

"Mom, look, this is what Lili picked up."

"It's so amazing, how did Lili figure it out?"

"Lili can just see it."

Yanyan learned how to peel shrimps from the same way Gu Yejin did. Even though he had chubby hands, he could peel a whole shrimp in one go.

Yanyan was greedy. He dipped the shrimp in the secret seasoning and quickly put it in his mouth: "Hmm~"

The rich and mellow sauce tightly wraps the shrimp meat. The sauce is salty and the shrimp meat is sweet and tender. Since it was just dipped, there was no salty taste inside the shrimp meat, only a layer on the surface, but it was still delicious.

Yanyan shook his head when he ate the delicious food. Seeing this, Lulu passed the shrimps she had peeled to Yanyan and whispered to Yanyan, "Brother, eat it."

"Thank you, brother." Yanyan also said in a low voice, like a thief.

[Report! Yan Yan is cheating again!]

[Hey, Yanyan... why are you eating secretly again? Why don't you know how to share? Come on, give auntie one! Ouch!]

[Lulu helps the tyrant (bushi) Lulu is so cute! ]

[It looks delicious! The seafood in S City is really delicious! I've been there! It's delicious just steamed and dipped in soy sauce and vinegar!]

[(holding a small notebook)(recording like crazy)(swearing to try it out next time)(remembered)(throwing it away)(hehehe, kid, hehe)]

[So delicious! So delicious! Watching the baby eating is really delicious!]

[But, it’s not good for Yanyan to always cheat.]

[Do you think Yanyan's action was not obvious? Do you think the other guests didn't see it? Everyone saw it! Lulu saw it, what do you think?]

Prepare the sauce for the crab pot. Add scallions, ginger, garlic and cooking wine to cold water and blanch the chicken feet. Dip the cut surface of the crab in starch and fry until both sides are golden brown. Also fry the shrimps and set aside.

Then in another pot, sauté scallions, ginger, garlic and chili peppers until fragrant, add chicken feet and secret seasoning, stir-fry, then add water and simmer for 20 minutes.

Xie Luoshu came out to check on everyone's progress. Logically, with so many people, they should be done in a short while: "Yan Yan?"

Yanyan paused and then immediately covered her mouth: "Baby, I didn't eat anything secretly."

"Heh." Xie Luoshu chuckled and lifted the chair where Gu Yejin was sitting. "You should take good care of your son."

"Okay." Gu Yejin responded, "Yanyan, come here."

Xie Luoshu returned to the kitchen and realized what he had just done. He asked Gu Yejin to take good care of his son!

Xie Luoshu took a deep breath and continued to cook. He was very efficient. While he was making the crab pot, the stir-fried octopus and braised fish were already out of the pot.

"Dad~" Yanyan can now easily act coquettishly.

"I'm not angry." Thinking of Xie Luoshu's natural behavior just now, Gu Yejin smiled and pinched the flesh on Yanyan's cheek, "You can't eat secretly in the future, understand?"

"Yeah!" Yanyan nodded like a little chick pecking at rice.

After 20 minutes, the chicken feet are cooked. Add the side dishes, shrimps and crabs and simmer with some water for another 10 minutes.

"It smells so good." The few people had nothing to do after finishing their work. Fortunately, Zou Jiayan brought flying chess, and several people were playing flying chess in four groups.

Yanyan swallowed her saliva: "It smells good."

"Xiao Xie, are your dishes almost ready?" Seeing that it was almost time, Bai Xueling stood up and walked to the kitchen. "My dishes will be ready very quickly. Let the children eat first."

"Sure." Xie Luoshu served the crab pot, "All I need is the clams soup."

Xie Luoshu brought out all the dishes: "Let's eat. Go wash your hands first and then serve..."

Gu Yejin: "Ashu, what's wrong?"

"I forgot to cook..." Xie Luoshu said in frustration, "Sorry, my brain is so messed up."

"It's okay, takeout is also fine."

"Isn't it possible to deliver rice when ordering takeout?" Xie Luoshu walked over.

"You can ask the store." Gu Yejin soothed, "I'll ask the nearest store. It's okay."

"Why are you still playing with your phone? Come and eat." Zou Jiayan came back from the bathroom after washing his hands with a bunch of kids.

"right……"

"Sorry, I forgot to cook." Gu Yejin took the lead, "Ashu asked me to cook before, but I forgot."

Eh? Xie Luoshu was stunned.

Zou Jiayan slapped his head and said, "Oh, we forgot. There is usually no rice in this kind of house. I should have asked in advance."

"What should we do? Cook some noodles?"

“No noodles either.”

"No problem." Gu Yejin got a reply from the merchant, "I ordered takeout and it will be delivered soon. Ah Shu, is the soup still boiling?"

"Yes, that's right." Xie Luoshu responded, "My soup is still on the stove."

Bai Xueling moved quickly. The stir-fried Chinese cabbage was already out of the pot and she was cooking the lettuce with oyster sauce: "Xiao Xie, the soup is almost done, so I'll turn down the heat."

"Thank you, Sister Ling." The soup is almost ready. Just give it a salty taste and serve it out.

Why would Gu Yejin do this... It's so strange. Xie Luoshu's mind is now full of Gu Yejin, and he doesn't know what's going on with this feeling in his heart. No! I can't think about it anymore!

Xie Luoshu urgently needed something to pull himself out of the feeling just now, so he helped Bai Xueling make the spinach and egg pancakes.
