At 12:30 noon, the tide started to rise...

Li Yichen and Qin Xiaoyue failed to catch the sea eel in the end.

"Forget it, conger eels are not delicious either..."

Li Yichen swallowed his saliva and finally managed to persuade Qin Xiaoyue away who was about to go crazy.

I didn't expect that the weak and shy Qin Xiaoyue who I met at the beginning would also have such an unexpected side.

It actually made Li Yichen a little impressed.

On the way home, Qin Xiaoyue still couldn't forget the moray eel, muttering: "What a pity, I almost caught it!"

Li Yichen smiled. The "little" difference might be an hour or two.

The water in the big puddle must be scooped out.

That's a big project, it's going to be exhausting.

"We harvested quite a lot at noon. Let's catch moray eels next time."

Li Yichen's own bucket contained five or six pieces of kelp, a large blue crab weighing a pound by visual inspection, and an extra crab claw.

Blue crabs are a very common seafood in the market, but a pound of pure wild crabs costs about 100 yuan. Li Yichen and the others couldn't afford them in the past, so they never bought them. Aunt Hua gave them to them occasionally.

So Li Yichen didn't buy it, but he knew how to cook it.

The blue crab in his bucket is a meat crab that has not yet shed its shell, and is at its most plump.

They are lucky, otherwise, if it is a soft-shell crab that has just shed its shell, all the energy will be consumed by shelling, and there will not be much meat left.

Qin Xiaoyue also had a few pieces of kelp and two conchs in her bucket, just one for each person.

Back in the courtyard, Li Yichen and Qin Xiaoyue had no time to sit down and rest because they were about to start making lunch, and it was almost one o'clock.

After staying on Fuhua Island for a long time, the second magical illusion will appear, that is, the time between each meal seems to be accelerated. Start rushing for the next meal.

Qin Xiaoyue went crazy catching moray eels at noon. Her pants and clothes were a little wet, so she went to change the wet clothes first.

Li Yichen was sitting in front of the stove, lighting up the fire inside again, and thinking about what to make for lunch.

There is no doubt that today's main course must be the wild blue crab.

In addition to steaming blue crabs, Li Yichen also knows a very simple cooking method that can also maintain the original flavor of crab meat.

That is sesame oil blue crab.

Crabs are cold in nature, and cooking them with ginger and cooking wine can also reduce the coldness of crabs.

As for the two conchs, you can smash them into pieces and stir-fry them with the blue crabs, which is convenient and easy.

For soup, you can make fresh kelp soup, which is also very convenient.

First steam the rice and cook the soup, then Li Yichen makes sesame oil blue crabs by himself, while Qin Xiaoyue can stir-fry a plate of green vegetables.

He remembered that when he first came here, Qin Xiaoyue said that she could stir-fry vegetables and let her show off her skills at noon.

It shouldn't be a big problem if you stir-fry some cabbage.

Qin Xiaoyue changed her clothes and came out. When she heard that Li Yichen wanted her to stir-fry cabbage for lunch, she readily agreed. Stir-frying was not difficult.

"Before frying the cabbage, please help me wash the blue crabs.

Let's steam the rice and cook the soup first, then I'll make the sesame oil blue crabs, and you'll stir-fry the cabbage. This saves time and can be eaten hot. "

Li Yichen said as he handed the gloves to Qin Xiaoyue: "Put on two layers of gloves, first cotton gloves, then rubber gloves, and just scrub with a toothbrush."

"me?"

"Crab?"

"Gloves?"

Qin Xiaoyue took the glove stupidly, eyes wide open, confused, a little unwilling to accept the reality.

Li Yichen nodded and affirmed: "It's you, don't worry, it's easy to wash, just like brushing your teeth."

"Are you going to do it when the crab is not... dead?"

Qin Xiaoyue glanced at the ferocious blue crab in the bucket, and trembled when she thought that she was about to catch it.

Li Yichen said warmly: "You can kill it first, or you can knock it out. Which do you prefer?"

"But... let's kill..."

Qin Xiaoyue said with a trembling voice. After speaking, she added uneasily: "Then, can you take off those two big pliers first?"

"Of course."

Li Yichen smiled and said that Qin Xiaoyue at this time had returned to the weak look she had when they first met.

Handling wild blue crabs must be more delicate than handling other common crabs, otherwise this rare delicacy will be wasted.

The three large crab claws can be washed separately, wrapped in cloth, and then beaten with the blade of a knife to prevent the crab shells from splashing around. Moreover, by handling them this way, the cracks can be more evenly distributed, making it easier for the sesame oil to absorb the flavor.

The last time Li Yichen killed crabs was in "Love Hunter" when he and Tang Meilin were cooking dinner together.

He could remember it so clearly mainly because Tang Meilin's extremely cruel way of handling crabs at that time left a deep impression on him.

Thinking of that crab, the way it died was really miserable...

Li Yichen took a chopstick and poked it into the mouth of the blue crab, turned it out slightly, and the blue crab stopped moving. He then used a knife to remove the two crab claws, put them together into the iron basin, and handed them to Qin Xiaoyue.

"Okay, take it and wash it."

"Really, is he really dead?"

Qin Xiaoyue worriedly took the chopsticks that Li Yichen had placed next to her and poked the blue crab again. She found that it really didn't move, and then she smiled again.

"Leave it to me next!"

Li Yichen looked at Qin Xiaoyue for half a minute. Seeing that she had no problem, he turned around to steam rice and cook kelp soup.

After Qin Xiaoyue washed the blue crabs, Li Yichen asked her to prepare her own fried cabbage.

Li Yichen himself began to handle blue crabs and two large conchs.

He cut off the sharp parts of the crab's legs and cut the blue crab into eight pieces.

Then smash the conch into pieces, put it on a plate and set aside.

After the kelp soup was cooked, Li Yichen picked up the pot, put it aside, and started making sesame oil blue crabs.

He poured sesame oil into the pot and sauteed ginger slices until fragrant.

It is said that when ginger is stir-fried with sesame oil in this way, it will not have a burnt or bitter taste. Li Yichen is not clear about the specific principle.

His cooking skills are just beginning.

After stir-frying the ginger, put the crab pieces into the pot and stir-fry, then pour in the black sesame oil and continue stir-frying.

A unique fresh fragrance soon filled the yard.

The program crew even moved the crane camera above the wok to shoot at close range.

After the crabs were stir-fried, Li Yichen poured cooking wine into the pot, covered the pot and simmered.

"what……"

Holding the wok, Li Yichen suddenly thought of something.

He can put the grill rack on the stove so he doesn't have to hold the wok all the time.

Li Yichen put down the pot and ran into the tool shed to find two grilling nets.

He put one on the stove first and prepared the other for Qin Xiaoyue.

Now put the wok on the grill, and Li Yichen's hands are freed.

He looked around, a bit asking for credit, but no one praised him.

Qin Xiaoyue was immersed in chopping her cabbage, very focused.

Li Yichen had no choice but to pat himself on the shoulder and praise himself.

How clever.

After the blue crabs were cooked, Li Yichen poured a little black sesame oil and sliced ​​snail meat into the pot again, and continued to stir-fry to reduce the juice.

After the snail meat is cooked, add salt to taste.

A dish of sesame oil blue crab and snail meat with full color, flavor and flavor is ready.

"Wow, it smells good. Can I have a taste first?"

Qin Xiaoyue even forgot to put down the vegetable cutting knife.

Holding the knife, he ran towards Li Yichen.

When Li Yichen saw Qin Xiaoyue approaching with a knife, although he was not afraid, he instinctively took half a step back.

He handed the plate with sesame oil blue crabs to Qin Xiaoyue and said with a smile: "Take the whole plate away."

"Hehe, I'll just try a piece."

Qin Xiaoyue stretched out her hand to take the plate, but suddenly realized that she was holding a kitchen knife in her hand, and her movements paused.

He immediately changed his actions, reached out for a piece of snail meat and threw it into his mouth, not caring if it was burned, and hid the hand holding the kitchen knife slightly behind his back.

"Wow, this snail meat is so delicious and chewy."

Qin Xiaoyue's expression was a bit exaggerated.

She was filled with regret and worry at this time.

"What should I do...it will definitely be cut out, what will happen to my image..."

Qin Xiaoyue's face turned red and she wished she could hide in a deserted place. Although the snail meat was indeed delicious, she just wanted to disappear in front of Li Yichen and the camera.

So, Qin Xiaoyue quickly ran back to the kitchen, lowered her head and continued to chop cabbage.
