Chapter 226 Crayfish Mature

"Uncle Su, wait for me!"

Compass stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth, took another bite of the dish, put down his chopsticks and chased him out.

"Third brother, what are you going to do?" Fat Miao'er asked suspiciously.

"I know who has more eggs..."

The food in Luo Pan's mouth hadn't been swallowed yet, he was talking vaguely, and he had already ran out of the main room.

An hour later.

Su Qingfeng and Luopan returned with more than 100 eggs.

"So much?" Fat Miao'er asked in surprise.

"Hey!" Su Qingfeng scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "I think there are many people who come to buy, so I plan to cook more."

"Oh!" Fat Miao'er nodded.

Then several people got busy, those who washed the eggs washed the eggs, those who fetched water fetched water, and those who lit the fire lit the fire. Fat Miao'er patiently explained each step to Su Qingfeng.

……

A month later.

The sun is scorching the earth, and the sound of cicadas can be heard not far away. It screams tirelessly, bringing people a kind of summer irritability. There is no wind, and the earth is like a steamer.

Today is a good day. Under Fat Miao'er's eager anticipation, the crayfish she raised finally matured.

"Third brother, fish there, it grows big there." Fat Miao'er pointed to a part of the rice field and said.

"Okay!" Compass replied.

Because he was afraid of hurting the rice, he was extra careful when salvaging.

With one net, about three catties were caught.

Fat Miao'er threw the small ones back to the rice fields, and the big ones were put into wooden barrels.

"Third brother, one more catch is enough." Fat Miao'er said.

Hearing this, the compass turned around the paddy field, looking for the larger nets among them.

Finally he found a group of larger ones, and he fished them up with a net, sorted them out and put them into wooden barrels.

"Fat Meow, is this really that delicious?" Luo Pan asked while looking at the crayfish in the barrel.

"Of course!" Fat Miao'er nodded heavily.

At the thought of eating spicy crayfish in a short while, the saliva in her mouth rolled unconsciously.

"Third brother, let's go back quickly, we still have lunch." Fat Miao'er urged.

After listening, Compass put down the fishing net in his hand, picked up the wooden bucket, and walked towards the kitchen.

outside the kitchen.

Liu Ye'er had already prepared two big tubs and three brushes.

Compass poured the crayfish into the wooden basin, and then poured it into a bucket of water.

"Third brother, sister, hold on here, it won't catch your hands."

Fat Miao'er held a crayfish in one hand and a brush in the other, demonstrating while talking.

Compass and Liu Ye'er were cautious at the beginning, for fear of being caught by the two big pincers, but later they became more proficient, and their speed gradually increased.

As time goes by, a large pot of crayfish has been brushed, and it only needs to soak half a stick of incense in clean water, and then it can be boiled in the pot.

Half an hour later, a large pot of spicy crayfish was finally ready.

Ever since the crayfish were put into the pot, Fat Miao'er has been waiting in front of the stove. Seeing Liu Ye'er open the lid of the pot, she couldn't wait to pick up a few of them with a spoon, put them in a bowl, and ate them while sitting on a small bench beside her. stand up.

"Slow down, be careful of burning." Liu Ye'er instructed with a smile on her face.

"Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!" Fat Miao'er nodded while sucking on the lobster tail.

Hearing the commotion, Compass also came in, took a bowl and filled a few, sat next to Fat Miao'er, and started eating like her.

"It's so fresh, spicy and delicious!" After taking a bite, Luo Pan couldn't help admiring with an intoxicated expression on his face.

Fat Miao'er looked up and gave him a knowing look, then lowered his head and continued to "overcome" the crayfish in the bowl.

Afraid that the two of them would be hot, Liu Ye'er handed over the freshly steamed steamed buns: "Come, let's eat."

The two reached out to take it, a crayfish and a steamed bun, it was delicious.

Soon one bowl was finished, and the two got up to fill another bowl.

After a while, a mountain of crayfish shells piled up in front of the two of them.

"Hiccup~"

Fat Miao'er burped, patted her swollen belly, and said with a satisfied face: "It's really enjoyable!"

Luo Pan also finished the last one in the bowl, looked up at the remaining crayfish in the pot, and finally gave up because he really couldn't eat any more.

"Sister, why don't you eat it, it's the best fresh out of the pot." Fat Miaoer asked.

"No hurry, I'll eat together when my second brother comes back." Liu Ye'er replied.

She doesn't like spicy food. She tried the boiled frog at first, but didn't eat much afterwards.

Fat Miao'er rolled her eyes and understood what she was thinking, and said, "Next time we make garlic, it's not spicy at all, sister can eat more."

"Okay!" Liu Ye'er said softly.

"Third brother, sister, before the second brother comes back, let's send the crayfish to Grandpa, my father, Aunt Wu, Grandpa Li, Grandpa Zhang, and Grandpa Hu to have a taste."

The old man Zhang looked at Fat Miao'er's face, as long as he was free, he would definitely help Su Dashan get off the adobe, they all saw this, the old Zhang's family was worth making friends.

"En!" Liu Ye'er and Compass nodded at the same time.

The three put the crayfish in small pots, put them in baskets, and sent them to each house separately.

Li family.

They happened to be eating when the compass arrived.

"Master, Grandpa Li, I'm bringing you delicious food!"

Compass lifted the cloth covering the basket, took out a pot of crayfish and placed it on the table.

"Crayfish?" Shopkeeper Li asked in confusion.

"Master knows?" Compass asked.

"I know. A few years ago, a merchant from the south came to our restaurant to sell it. The price was too expensive, so we didn't buy it." Shopkeeper Li explained.

Luo Pan regained his energy when he heard it, and asked, "Master, how much money do southern merchants want to sell?"

Shopkeeper Li stroked his chin, pondered for a moment and said, "It seems to be 120 Wen a catty."

so expensive?
Compass was startled, the expression on his face changed, and then returned to normal.

"Master, please ask for help tomorrow to see if there is any restaurant that wants it." Luopan said.

After all, shopkeeper Li has worked in the restaurant industry for so many years, and he must have a lot of connections, which are better than a few people bumping into each other like headless chickens.

"Okay!" Shopkeeper Li nodded in response.

"Then good master, Grandpa Li, I'll go first." Compass cupped his hands.

"Let's stay and eat together!" Li Langzhong asked to stay.

"Thank you, Grandpa Li, I've already eaten." Compass smiled.

"Abacus, wait a moment, I'll pour the bowl for you and take it back."

Shopkeeper Li's daughter-in-law quickly left the main room, brought a bowl from the kitchen, poured out the crayfish, and handed the empty bowl to Compass.

"Thank you, Master!" Luo Pan reached out to take it and thanked her.

"You kid, you have such a sweet mouth." Shopkeeper Li's daughter-in-law praised.

Compass nodded slightly, turned and left Li's house.

When he got home, he put down the basket, ran quickly to the rice field, looked at the crayfish swimming in it, and rubbed his hands excitedly.
