Golden Fishing Village

Chapter 1118 1125. Metamorphosis (15)

The black dragon stood firmly on one end of the pedal. As he moved up and down, the pedal rose and fell like a seesaw, and he pounded the shrimps with a wooden mallet.

Ao Muyang squatted beside the pestle with a cooking spatula. He grasped the gap between the raised wooden mallet and used the spatula to stir the shrimps like cooking, mixing them evenly.

As the wooden mallet hit the shrimps, the shrimp shells gradually broke and fell off, revealing the crystal clear and bright shrimp meat inside. When all the shrimp shells fell off and the shrimp meat was dried in the sun, what came out was the golden hook shrimp.

The color was light yellow and the shape was like a curved hook. It was beautiful and delicious.

The head of state followed him happily. It used its front paws to poke the pestle and look inside. When the wooden mallet was raised and Ao Muyang stretched out the spatula, it stretched out its claws inside.

The cat's reaction speed is incredibly fast. In just a short period of time, it can grab shrimps twice and stuff them into its mouth.

The kitten didn't follow, so it was proud of itself. After a while, its belly was full.

Ao Muyang was impatient. He said to the head of state: "How much did you eat? What's the matter? Do you plan to eat shrimps to fill your stomach today?"

The head of state lowered his head to check his stomach. He wanted to tell Ao Muyang that he was still hungry.

But it is really fat now. When he lowered his head, he couldn't see his stomach. There were circles of meat on his neck, as if he was hanging a small swimming ring.

The mallet was lifted, and it was going to claw again.

Ao Muyang quickly lifted the skin on the back of its neck and stuffed it into the pestle, saying viciously: "Okay, don't you want to eat? Smash you and the shrimp into a ball, so that you can be together for life."

Before he finished speaking, the mallet fell.

Seeing that it was about to fall, the head of state turned his head, shook his buttocks and stretched out his fat waist, which was stretched out in an instant like a spring, and then he lay on the mortar pit, with his whole body in a semicircle against the four walls of the mortar pit, deformed!

The wooden hammer fell down like this, sticking to its waist.

"Bang!" It didn't hit the head of state.

When the wooden hammer rose, the head of state didn't need to do it this time, and opened his mouth to bite the shrimps. There was a thick layer of shrimps under its body.

Ao Muyang was convinced. He couldn't control it, so he quickly dragged it out and threw it aside.

The head of state was silent, his mouth was tightly closed, and his two cheeks were bulging with shrimps!

"Oh my god, the loss is huge." Lao Ao didn't dare to put it into the mortar pit again. It was really a loss of rice. The rice here is shrimps.

After roughly smashing the shrimps to one side, the next step is to lift up the dried shrimps one by one, using the wind to blow away the broken shrimp shells and keep the shrimp meat inside.

Ao Muyang and Heilong lifted them one by one. The head of state wanted to steal the shrimps but was kicked by him. Then he squatted at the foot of the wall and licked the broken shrimp shells.

The sea breeze blew, and the red and white shrimp shells drifted to the foot of the wall and blew on the head of state. The head of state looked up at the blue sky, and for a moment, worries surged in his heart like shrimp skins: How can I eat the shrimp meat?

These shrimp shells are also useful. Lao Ao swept them up with a broom and mixed them into cat food for the kittens in the future. It can not only stimulate their appetite but also supplement calcium and vitamins. The eagle claw shrimp is rich in nutrients like shrimp shells. The old foreigner never peeled the eagle claw shrimp when eating it. He pinched off the shrimp head and ate the rest together.

Black Dragon officially began to pound dried shrimps. He made a bag with a fine mesh gauze, put the dried shrimps that were blown by the wind into it, and then pounded it on the ground one by one.

The large shrimp shells had been blown away by the wind, and the remaining shrimp shells were very fine and easy to fall off. After being thrown down, some of them would fall out along the mesh of the gauze, and the ones that remained inside could be sieved out with a dustpan.

The last thing left was the golden hook dried shrimps. When the sun shone on them, they were shiny and shiny, as if there was a layer of oil on the surface. If the light was blocked, the golden hook dried shrimps would present a natural cherry red color, the same color from the outside to the inside.

Ao Muyang took one and put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully. There was only a faint fishy smell, and the other was the unique freshness of seafood, and it was sweet in the aftertaste.

After collecting fresh dried shrimps, it was natural to eat dried shrimps for dinner.

There are many ways to eat dried shrimps. In traditional Shandong cuisine, it is a star seasoning. Dishes such as dried shrimp rape, dried shrimp stewed with baby cabbage, dried shrimp fried eggplant, dried shrimp winter melon soup, and dried shrimp braised with cabbage are simple to make but delicious.

That is, now that the villagers have money, they are willing to eat dried shrimps. In the past, even if they harvested this thing, the fishermen would not eat it, but kept it to sell for money.

Those who are covered in silk and silk are not silkworm breeders.

The value of golden hook dried shrimps is too high, and fishermen are reluctant to eat them after drying them. Take the dried shrimps dried by Ao Muyang for example. Eight or even ten kilograms of small shrimps can produce one kilogram of dried shrimps. This does not include labor. The cost of one kilogram of dried shrimps alone is more than three hundred yuan. Now the price of eagle claw shrimps is 40 yuan per kilogram in the market, which is a very conscientious price.

And this is still a large shrimp with a high yield. For example, small shrimps of grade D need fourteen or fifteen kilograms to produce one kilogram of dried shrimps, and the cost price is more than two hundred yuan.

Ao Muyang went to Song Qiumin's house and asked for a piece of frozen tofu. At night, he boiled two handfuls of dried shrimps in a pot with mountain spring water, and then threw the frozen tofu, fresh tofu and cabbage leaves into the pot to stew together. Just add a little salt, nothing else is needed, this is a dish.

He also stewed rice, and when the rice was almost cooked, he sprinkled half a handful of dried shrimps in it. When the rice was out of the pot, he sprinkled some dark soy sauce in it. This is dried shrimp stewed rice. Hong Kong gourmet Cai Lan once praised it and wrote after eating it, "After the dried shrimps are stewed, there is no need to touch any other delicacies from the mountains and the sea."

Hongyang is considered the junction of the north and the south. The locals have a mixed diet. The land can produce both wheat and rice, so some families are keen on eating rice, while some families like to eat steamed buns.

Fishermen prefer to eat steamed buns, so there is a custom of steaming steamed buns during the New Year, because steamed buns are more durable than rice. For fishermen who fight against wind and waves on the sea all year round, rice is digested too quickly and is not as "hard" as steamed buns.

Steamed buns and dried shrimps are also a good match. The snow-white big steamed buns just out of the pot are soft and fragrant. A bite of steamed bun and two grains of dried shrimps have both fresh and fragrant aromas, which has another flavor compared to dried shrimp stewed rice.

Dried shrimp stewed rice focuses on freshness. With dried shrimp tofu, Heilong ate five bowls of rice in a row.

Ao Muyang mixed rice with tofu soup, and the general ate happily with his tail wagging, more actively than eating dog food.

The big wolf and the second wolf followed suit. It is said that wolves are carnivores, but Lao Ao found that these two guys are also good at eating dog food and rice and steamed buns. They are not picky eaters.

Seeing him feeding rice to the big wolf and the second wolf, Lu Zhizi stopped him and said, "They can't eat too much rice and flour. The starch can't be excreted. It's not good for their health in the future. Feed them bones."

She put a pork spine with meat in the rice bowl of the big wolf and the second wolf. The big wolf ate it with peace of mind. The second wolf looked at the hard bone in front of him and the delicious rice in the rice bowl of the general next door. He was immediately angry. He slapped the rice bowl with his paw and turned it over. He opened his mouth and howled at Lu Zhizi: "Awoo!"

Lu Zhizi was furious and went to the kitchen to get the kitchen knife.

The second wolf quickly turned over the bowl on the ground with his paw, took the bone in his mouth obediently, and then gnawed it in small bites...
