A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 204 Disliked Delicious Food

I don’t know how Sun Guoqing passed the news, but there was indeed no follow-up news from Gao Weicheng.

Maybe he has given up, maybe he is still dormant.

Later, Li Xiang asked the eldest sister indirectly, but did not get any suspicious information. The eldest sister's school career was as usual.

He could also relax a little and not be as tense as before.

After the disturbing incident, the Li family finally had a peaceful life.

This morning, Li Xiang signed something unexpected, and he immediately sat up from the bed.

There are not many things. If we put them in the past, ten of them would not be enough for one person.

At first, Li Xiang was reluctant to take them out and eat them, thinking of finding a place to release them and breed them, so that there would be a steady supply of them in the future.

After thinking about it later, no, he is not a biological expert. Species invasion, without a solution, what kind of results will be caused and the losses will be unpredictable.

So after several struggles, Li Xiang decided to eat the lobster that signed in.

The lobsters, which weighed about 8 yen each, had red and black hard shells.

The big pliers opened their teeth and claws, like fearless warriors.

When Li wanted to take it home, he was still thinking about explaining.

Mother Li took two steps back in disgust and said, "Why are you bringing this thing back?"

"Ah? You know this!" Li Xiang asked in surprise.

"Why don't you know? In the summer, there are a lot of these things in the ditch, and they even climb up the field stems." Mother Li explained puzzledly, these are not good things, they can pinch people and eat crop poles.

When Li Xiang heard this, he realized that the lobster was already available at this time.

He remembered that when he was a child in this world, he would catch lobsters as a game in his 1990s.

Take a pole, tie it with a thin rope, and put various kinds of bait on it.

There are fat meat, snail meat, earthworms, frogs, lobsters themselves, and for those who are brave, just tie a skinned snake.

Just put it into the water casually, and the lobster will take the bait, making it easy to catch.

But at that time, lobster was still not a serious dish.

When the children catch it, they rarely fry it and eat it at home. They always sell it to shrimp collectors, and get a few cents per pound, which they use to buy snacks.

By the time lobster became popular, it was in the early 2000s, when Li Xiang was already in college.

It became popular so late. Li Xiang thought lobster appeared in China in the 1970s and 1980s. He didn't expect it to be available in 1965.

And judging from Mother Li's appearance, it seems that she didn't just appear in recent years. She must have been around for a long time.

After all, it had been many years since Li's mother had been in the city, and Li Xiang was 100% sure that there was no such thing in the city.

Since Mother Li knew, it meant that she had not yet entered the city when she saw the lobster.

"Hurry up and throw it away. This pinch is really painful." When her son didn't move, Mother Li grabbed the bag and prepared to hit it with a mallet.

Li Xiang avoided it flexibly and said quickly: "Mom, this is a good thing, you can't throw it away."

"What's a good thing if it can't be eaten or used?" Mother Li curled her lips in disbelief.

"Who says it can't be eaten? I don't think it's enough to eat. Now I'll show you what I'm doing. Just take a look."

Li wanted to go into the kitchen, took the scissors and went to the courtyard to collect the lobsters, without giving Li's mother a chance to object.

Nowadays, no one knows how to eat it. If this happens, lobsters will be free in the future.

Li Xiang suddenly felt that he had accomplished another great merit.

If you can develop one more delicious dish these days, it may really save one more life without bragging.

Li Xiang hummed a little tune and picked up the crayfish.

Not to mention how beautiful the mood is. Whenever he is outside, people will gradually gather around him.

Not to mention, it was rare to see him at the sink.

Mother Li has always pampered him in this regard. She can let him do the errands, but she won't let him get involved in the dirty work if possible.

He Yuzhu was the first to come over, trying to find something to talk about.

Seeing the lobsters he was packing, his face twisted into a ball.

This time, his face, which already looked old, was too ugly to look at.

The words stayed on his lips for a while, and finally he couldn't help but ask.

"Brother, you cut and brushed it and kept it so clean. Are you going to put it in your mouth?"

"You guessed it. If it weren't for these few and the quantity was too small, I should have asked Brother Zhuzhu to take action." Li Xiang replied.

"If there are difficulties at home, don't be embarrassed to say it. With our relationship as brothers, we will always help if we can." He Yuzhu had a complicated expression on his face, carefully reminding Li Xiang in a way that would not hurt his self-esteem.

These words made Li Xiang laugh. It was just a lobster, how could it be so serious?

There are only ten lobsters in total, and it’s really hard to part with one.

But for the sake of future lobster freedom, Li Xiang decided to generously give out one.

"I won't talk nonsense to you. Seeing is believing. Come to our house later and share one with you. Then you will know why I want to eat it."

For the first time, He Yuzhu didn't want to go when he received Li Xiang's invitation.

He is also a well-informed person, and he has encountered strange ingredients before, but for him to eat this big bug, he really needs to work on his mental health.

At this time, the other neighbors who were standing around were not afraid of serious trouble, and even shouted: "Silly Zhu, you are always brave, let me give you a taste of what this big bug tastes like."

He Yuzhu's character can be said to be a typical representative of Yingfeng who is on fire.

I was a little frightened at first, but I couldn't stand it and others coaxed me together with a few words.

When his head gets hot, he pats his chest and makes bold words, just like a warrior who is brave enough to fight.

"Okay, today I will meet this big bug first and give you a taste of it."

Li wanted to see him like this, and suddenly wanted to save the lobster.

Before the incident happened, he could predict how He Yuzhu, who got the taste, would brag in the courtyard later.

From cleaning to serving these ten lobsters, Li Xiang did everything by himself.

He was afraid that Mother Li would be reluctant to add condiments, so he did every procedure himself.

Spicy lobster, how can it be delicious without adding heavy ingredients?

First add oil, fry once, then take it out.

Pour the base ingredients back into the remaining oil and stir-fry until fragrant.

Of course, the base ingredients are not as rich as those in later generations. The Li family only has dried chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, and chili sauce made by Li’s mother.

But just these three condiments have exploded with amazing aroma, and the fried lobster is returned to the pot and stir-fried.

Mother Li was working as a supervisor nearby, watching him pour in the seasonings as if they were free, her mouth twitching in distress.

The words "wasteful thing" came to my lips several times, and I forced myself to swallow them again.

The delicious aroma began to attract noisy neighbors.

Many people were waiting outside the house with their rice bowls in hand, fearing that they would miss the tasting session.
