In her previous life, she had been working hard all day in a restaurant, and when it was time to close at night, she was too tired to eat, so she fried up a large pot of snails, drank cold beer with her father, and chewed on the snails, taking one bite at a time. Not to mention the feeling of comfort.
If you want the snail to bite accurately, the buttocks of the snail must be cut off. Otherwise, no matter how hard you try, you may not be able to bite the meat.
Moreover, the snails with buttocks cut off can be better fried and taste better.
It was still early when it was delivered, so Song Qiu asked Lin Desheng to soak it in more water, put some salt in the water, add some rapeseed oil, and let it soak until it was almost dark before taking it out for washing.
After washing a few times, Song Qiu took scissors and used scissors to cut off the buttocks of the snails with a group of people who had finished their work making vermicelli.
There is such a big bucket, and she can cut it all by herself until tomorrow morning, so there is no way she can eat it tonight.
With so many snails, Song Qiu thought that he would prepare them for his uncle and the others to try, so he asked Yuan Cheng and Xiang to stay and have dinner before going back, taking some fried snails back with them.
There are many people and there are not enough scissors, so I use iron pliers and kitchen knives.
More than a dozen people worked together, and it didn't take long to cut out all the snails in the bucket.
After trimming the buttocks, wash them twice more.
Then prepare the seasonings, cut star anise, fennel, bay leaves, Sichuan peppercorns, ginger into strips, pat the garlic, and cut dried chilies into sections.
Just started doing it.
Everyone is curious about the flavor of the snails in the fields. Is it really delicious?
So everyone gathered around the stove to watch.
Song Qiu is not afraid of being watched or having his craft stolen.
Cooking depends on talent, and some people can't learn it even if she teaches them.
She is also happy that she can really learn it.
She likes to cook, so she also likes people who are willing to cook and cook well.
What kind of secret recipe or something? This cooking is not the basis for her fortune.
If you can learn her skills, you must also have her seasonings!
Where does this seasoning come from?
She has some for sale, come and buy!
That's the business of giving her money so she can make money!
Ma was in charge of lighting the fire, and Song Qiu waved the spoon and put oil in the pot.
As soon as the two tablespoons of oil were put into the pot, Aunt Laifu, who was watching, started smashing her mouth. Her meat hurt a little. The oil was enough to buy a pound of meat, so why did she still eat such hard-shelled snails?
What a lump!
Ah Qiu is also a girl who knows how to make money. If she wants it, she is reluctant to use so much oil to make this snail dumpling that has no meat, can’t be bitten and is still fishy. She would rather buy meat for the oil!
When the oil is 50% hot, add dried chili peppers, shredded ginger, Sichuan peppercorns, and garlic, stir-fry until fragrant, then add two tablespoons of bean paste and continue to stir-fry until fragrant.
While Song Qiu was stir-frying, he asked Ma to lower the heat, otherwise it would become mushy soon.
Aunt Laifu looked at so many dried chili peppers and bean paste. She knew these good things. Aqiu made a lot of money from selling them.
Looking at this snail again, I just feel that it is made of copper plates, and I am afraid that there will be gold lumps in my mouth when I eat it.
What's there to eat from this hard shell? Giving it so many seasonings to fry is not just plating it with gold!
After the seasonings are fragrant, Song Qiu pours the snails into the pot and stir-fries evenly, then adds star anise, fennel and bay leaves and stir-fries, then pours in a little wine and soy sauce and stir-fries for about half a quarter of an hour.
Pour in some hot water, simmer for about a quarter of an hour, and then use high heat to reduce the juice.
Finally, add a little sugar and peppercorns, stir-fry, and then it's ready to go.
Song Qiu dried chili peppers were put in enough and the whole stove was filled with choking. Everyone who was watching choked out, and they were still coughing in the yard.
The snails took up the pot and filled two large pots, leaving half of the pots for Yuan Cheng and his wife to take back after dinner.
Ma made a few more dishes, steamed the rice, and then set the table for the meal.
We sat at two tables, each with a pottery pot of stir-fried snails, emitting bursts of spicy aroma.
But everyone looked at it and didn't know how to take off their chopsticks.
Or should Aunt Laifu just do it? She thought that so much oil and good seasoning had been spent on these snails, so it would be a pity not to eat them?
So I stretched out my chopsticks and took one into my mouth. I sucked in the taste of the snail. It was spicy and spicy, with a little sweetness. It was fragrant! It was so fragrant!
She rolled her tongue, wondering at Aqiu's good skills. She gritted her teeth, but her teeth hurt, and the conch remained stubborn in her mouth.
The same goes for the delicious snails fried by Ah Qiu. This hard-shelled snail is impossible to eat. It’s really golden!
Aunt Laifu sighed in her heart, she had to give Ah Qiu some face.
Then she sucked all the smell out to make sure it was gone. Then she spit it out and said to everyone who was looking at her: "This smells very fragrant! It's not fishy!"
Don't suck it all up, otherwise it will be wasted.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help it and quickly stretched out their chopsticks.
Ever since, Song Qiu watched each of them put a snail into their mouths, chewing the taste desperately, spitting it out when it was clean, and then nodded with satisfaction and said it was delicious.
she:……
She did not miss the way Aunt Laifu bit her hard and then touched her cheek in pain.
This is really going to make Aunt Laifu laugh to death.
Is this how snails are eaten?
Seeing how delicious everyone was eating, she almost got fooled.
She smiled funny and said quickly: "That's not how snails are eaten!"
After saying that, he took one to his mouth, swung at the snail's mouth, and pulled out a piece of snail meat, and then put the snail shell on the table.
The snail meat was stuck in her mouth, and she couldn't spit it out to look at it. She was afraid that someone wouldn't see clearly, so she broke off a bamboo brush and picked out a stick, and in front of everyone's eyes, she pried out a large piece of meat from the snail.
"Well, when you eat snails, you only eat the meat, not the shells."
Aunt Laifu, who was stared at and said by Song Qiu, was not embarrassed. She suddenly realized it and said: "So you are eating the meat here! I just said that Aqiu is so good at cooking. Since he said this is delicious, he must
Why don’t you eat the hard shell that you can’t bite!”
After saying that, he quickly followed Song Qiu's example and picked one up to his mouth, and after shaking it hard, a piece of snail meat came out.
When you eat it in your mouth, it just feels chewy and delicious.
In the past, during the lean years, some people fished out these snails and ate them. Unfortunately, they were too fishy and the hard shells were too hard to bite, so they stopped eating them.
I didn’t know there was meat inside the shell that could be eaten!
She remembered who said that the snail shell was full of dung.
They all don’t know and are talking nonsense!
After everyone got the teachings of Song Qiu and saw that this was how they ate snails, they all started to imitate them, chewing one in each mouthful. Soon, they all developed the fun of eating snails.
Aunt Laifu made a lot of shells and put them away, but she always felt that something was wrong.
After thinking for a long time, when she picked up another snail, she subconsciously held it in her mouth, absorbing all the smell of the shell, and then used her tongue to chew on some of the snail meat before throwing the shell away.
On the table.
Well, that’s a lot of fun!
This snail shell is full of seasonings and delicious, but the snail meat is lost after being chewed like this. What a pity!
When Song Qiu saw her like that, he couldn't help but smile, as if he had seen many people in later generations who were like this.
She also chatted a lot, which was full of flavor and very satisfying.
The only shortcoming was a bottle of cold beer.
