American Ranch

Chapter 316
Go into the living room.

"Uncle Zhang, Aunt Wang, hello." Ellie called out sweetly after seeing Zhang Xia's parents.

"Ellie, hello...hahaha."

Ellie came to break away from the depression in the house.

Mother Chen was about to make dinner. She looked in the refrigerator and found only beef: "Is there any vegetables in the vegetable field over the racecourse?"

"Yes, there are all kinds of vegetables."

"I'm going to pick some vegetables and come back."

"That... let's go." Chen Mo said, "By the way, ask Chen Xiao to go out for a walk."

"Ah."

Chen Mo went upstairs and knocked on the door of Chen Xiao's room: "Quickly open the door, Ellie is here."

After a few seconds, Chen Xiao opened the door with a listless and powerless expression.

"Let's go, go out with us to pick vegetables."

"Ah."

"Can't you live without Zhou Ziyu?"

"Life has changed, divorced, I am in such a miserable situation, and you still talk about me."

Chen Mo tapped his younger sister on the head lightly: "Ma Baonan was not saved... Do you know that Zhou Ziyu's family has returned to China?"

"Well... I called Zhou Ziyu just now. Forget it, I don't want to spend my whole life with Ma Baonan, it's too tiring." Chen Xiao let out a long sigh, and scratched his messy hair: "Let's go, go out and pick vegetables. "

Before Zhou Ziyu and the others boarded the plane, Chen Xiao called Zhou Ziyu and asked him to come back... Everyone sat together peacefully, and if you have any questions, talk about it...

Zhou Ziyu said his mother was going back to China...

Wardfack?

Chen Xiao's heart was so cold at that moment.

"Xiaoxiao." Allie shouted with a smile, then ran out of the gate suddenly, returned to the car and took out a bag: "It's for you."

Chen Xiao put away Chanel's bag with a smile: "Thank you sister-in-law."

"You're welcome, hehe..."

Ellie's goofy laugh is so contagious.

Chen Xiao's chest was tightly congested, as if a big rock was being pressed down, making Ellie smile like this... Tears welled up in Chen Xiao's eyes, and they flowed out for some reason.

"Uh...Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you."

"No, it's nothing. I'm happy... Big brother has you and loves him, it's great."

Chen Chen watched from the side: "Sister-in-law, do you have any presents from me?"

"Yes." Ellie went back to the car and took a lady's bag and a men's wallet: "I didn't see Zhang Xia, I hope to see Zhang Xia later and give it to you together."

"Zhang Xia might be sleeping in the room, I'll take it for her." Just as she was talking, Zhang Xia walked out with the child in her arms.

"Sister Ellie." Zhang Xia smiled and said, "You bought me a present."

"Well, a bag." Ellie leaned in front of Zhang Xia: "What a cute baby, what's your name?"

"Chen Yuan."

"Hehe, she is looking at me and smiling..."

"Let's go, let's go out to pick vegetables." Chen Mo went to the kitchen and brought out a bucket, ready to go to the upper reaches of the small valley to catch some brook snails.

Ai Li was hugging the baby, overjoyed, when she heard that she was going to leave, she returned the baby to Zhang Xia: "We went out to pick vegetables, and we will be back later."

"I'll go as well."

The child will be taken by the four adults in the family, and they all like to take care of the child...

Above the small valley, upstream of the reservoir, a farm planting area has been opened up here.Plant some fruits and vegetables, all of which are sold cheaply in the small town of Saint Bernie...

"Do you want to eat screws?" Chen Mo asked when he arrived at the farm.

"Can you eat?"

"There's nothing to eat." Chen Mo drove the car directly into the valley.

"What's a screw?" Ai Li sat in the back, between Chen Xiao and Zhang Xia, and asked.

"Screws are field snails, river snails." Chen Xiao said.

"The river snail." Chen Mo said.

The stream snails in the upper reaches of the valley are flooded, and you can pick up a lot by squatting by the stream.

Chen Mo took off his shoes, went to the middle of the stream to pick them up, and specially selected the slightly larger brook snails lying on the pebbles.

The big ones of these brook snails are slightly bigger than your thumb.The spiral shape is a little bit longer...the shell is blue and white.nice color...

The water quality here is very good, and it has been tested long ago. The water here can be used as drinking water after simple filtration.The river snails in the upper reaches are definitely edible.

Chen Xiao also took off her shoes and went into the water, picking out a medium-sized brook snail.Not too big, not too small...

Ai Li and Zhang Xia are squatting by the stream...

"I know this kind of snail. It's called a mountain snail. I've raised it in a fish tank before. Mo, Xiaoxiao, what do you do with these snails? For fishing?" Ellie had a bad feeling.

"eat."

"Why do you eat them? Mountain snails are rare. They are so cute... Would you like to put them back and raise them?" Ellie didn't think they were so cute.But eating snails...how to eat?
The Chinese are terrible, they will eat anything.

Ellie, who can't even eat French snails, has no appetite just by looking at the shape...

"If you don't eat it, it doesn't mean others won't eat it. It's delicious..." Chen Mo said.

Ellie pouted, and threw a handful of brook snails into the bucket.

"Sister-in-law Ellie, Chen Mo is the best at making snails. In the summer when we were young, when we were still living in the countryside, Chen Mo went to the fields to catch snails every day after school, and when he came back, he cooked a big plate..." Chen Xiao said.

Ellie still can't imagine how to eat these snails.

After a while, I picked up a small half of the bucket.Picking up the bucket and waterway car, I went to the farm to pick some vegetables, two vitex green peppers and red peppers...

Parents cook after returning home.

The Chen Mo brothers and sisters were cleaning the snails in the backyard, and first cut the tails of the snails with pliers...

Ellie just squatted by and watched, it was too troublesome.

Cut off the spiral tip and wash it once with clean water.

Then add salt and continue washing.

Add salt, if there are worms in the snails in the stream, they will not be able to stand it because it is too salty.If you don't add salt to clean it, people will not be able to stand it because there are worms in the snail...

Ellie didn't say a word, and puffed her cheeks from time to time.

Chen Chen peeked at Ai Li from time to time, and laughed softly: "Brother, sister-in-law looks so cute."

Loli face, loli figure, plus do not know where to learn the Wan Wan doll voice... It's really a headache.

Chen Xiao stuck out her tongue, and felt that Ellie was just a standard white girl, silly and sweet, really the genius girl that my brother said?

"Be respectful to your sister-in-law." Chen Mo raised his hand and knocked on Chen Chen's head.

Chen Chen held back his laughter, he never thought that big brother, such a decent and mature man, would be a lolicon... that's too evil.

After cleaning six or seven times, the Xishui snails are finally cleaned, and then the spicy and ingredients are prepared.

Ginger, garlic, cinnamon, star anise, pepper, bay leaf, chili...

I should ask for some perilla, but unfortunately I don't have it, so I can only use coriander instead.

After cleaning, take the snails to the kitchen and boil water to remove the fishy smell.

The second step, pour oil into the pot, put garlic, shredded ginger, dried chili, pepper, cinnamon, star anise, fragrant leaves, kaempferen... Add bean paste, fry red oil, put Xishui snails...

Put salt and cooking wine, fry for 3-[-] minutes, add water and a little sugar.Light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, fuel consumption... Bring to a boil.

The pungent aroma has already wafted out.

Then crush two kaempferols to make kaempferol powder and peppercorns, and stir in soybean powder...to collect the juice.

Add chives when out of the pan, and put some parsley after out of the pan.

Spicy Xishui snails, Chen Mo made four plates.

Fragrant, spicy and delicious...

Ai Li picked up the snail meat with a toothpick, and she was even more proficient than Chen Mo.

"Sister-in-law Ellie, drink another one." Chen Xiao picked up the can of beer and touched the beer with Ellie.

"Mm, um, eat, eat, eat well...it smells so good." Ellie was so hot that her nose was sweating, she inhaled while eating, and touched the beer with Chen Xiao.
