Lin Chou was surprised. There are so many good things every year, but this year is especially good. Summit 23S.
Fastest update
He unceremoniously filled his pockets with whelks, lobsters and crabs.
It is worth mentioning that the blue crabs that live in the waters around the rattle snail are particularly tall and tall, with sturdy claws, about the size of a human head. The bite teeth of the claws are bright white, while the remaining six crab legs are evenly shaped.
Covered with dark brown round spots.
This is obviously not Mingguang's "local" green crab, but since the ecosystem was disrupted by the original disaster, the presence of various creatures has completely crossed regions, waters and climates. If any biologist before the cataclysm were thrown into
Being near the bright light is guaranteed to destroy his moral integrity and brain in minutes.
Using the name before the cataclysm, this blue crab seems to be a variant of the Sri Lankan green crab. The body shape and appearance are very similar, but who cares.
In the light of day, they are just "ordinary species" that are not worth mentioning, the kind that most evolvers are unwilling to take a look at.
By the time Lin Chou returned to the tavern, it was completely dark.
"Big-breasted sister, have those women in the back mountains been sent back?"
Chi nodded,
"Well, Lord Gungun and I sent it back."
Lin Chou said,
"Chen Qingyu and Song Qingyun are also gone?"
Chi hesitated for a while,
"No...they and Mr. Shan are sleeping in the hut at the foot of the mountain."
Wu Ke, who had a bruised nose and swollen face, complained endlessly.
"Brother Chou, you have to make the decision for me. They, they not only robbed my house and my bed, but they also beat me!!"
Lin Chou was speechless,
"Why don't you run away when you see two drunkards? You are stupid!"
Chi said,
"It's... I don't blame him. The two of them drank too much... chased Wu Ke to the mountain and beat him up. Well... they said he was too ugly... and needed some plastic surgery."
Speaking of this, Chi frowned slightly, showing great disdain.
"A drunkard who only bullies ordinary people is really pitiful...I beat him up and threw him down the mountain."
Lin Chou burst out laughing,
"Ahem, cough...what, just in time, they are gone, I can save some money."
Wu Ke's eyes lit up instantly, and he completely forgot who was crying and wiping away his tears just now.
"Quickly, let me see what treasures I brought back... Wait... Brother Chou, when did you run away again??"
Wu Ke couldn't care less and looked into the bag.
"Oh, what a big crab!"
"Oh, what a big lobster!"
"Oh, what a...little conch..."
Wu Ke said,
"Brother Chou, why are you bringing so many conchs back? They are everywhere around Mingguang. They are hard, unpalatable, and sandy. These crabs are pretty good..."
Lin Chou rolled his eyes,
"If the Chaozhou cuisine chefs before the cataclysm knew that you were so disparaging of what they considered to be the best ingredients, they would have to dismantle your bones, stuff them with eight-treasure stuffing, and steam them."
After Balabala explained for a while what the conch was, Wu Ke finally understood.
"Compared to bird's nest, abalone, shark's fin, and sea cucumber? This conch of love is really not an ordinary conch."
"Emmm, Brother Chou, what you are saying is that this conch is like a swiftlet in a bird's nest!"
Lin Chou snapped his fingers,
"Yes, that's what it means."
Wu Ke continued,
"It's like the black gold abalone among abalones."
"It's almost the same..."
Wu Ke is still saying,
"It's like the conch girl among the conches!"
"...roll!"
Wu Ke felt aggrieved,
"嘤...嘤...嘤..."
Then Lin Chou began to prepare to kill the conch girl. Bah, it was to deal with the ring conch.
Before the catastrophe, people often said that rattle snails were another top-notch precious ingredient discovered after "Swallow Wings, Abalone and Ginseng Belly". In fact, this is incorrect. The documented history of eating rattle snails in China can be traced back to the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
, the commonly known flavors "Haoluo, Dachuiluo, Xinluo" that appear many times in some records are all ring snails.
The oldest method of making snails is naturally charcoal-burning snails, which is very simple, but also extremely difficult.
Lin Chou took four rattle snails, rinsed them and lit the charcoal stove, then prepared another cooking sauce.
Since the store always has a variety of seasonings, making the sauce is extremely simple. It mainly uses peppercorns, lemongrass, ginger, green onions, diced fat meat, soy sauce, rice wine and other ingredients to prepare the sauce, and finally blends it with soup.
The reason why diced fat pork is used here is naturally that the snail meat is firm but lacks oil. The melted oil from the delicate pork fat can soften and lubricate the snail meat and add some flavor.
Su Yourong, who had just arrived, was still a little confused,
"What, what's wrong Shihu!"
As soon as she finished asking, her hand felt heavy, and she was so frightened that she almost dropped the wet rattle snail with hard little burrs on the ground.
"Don't throw it away. If it breaks, you won't be able to eat it!"
The little girl immediately hugged her tightly, emmmmm, she really hugged her, with a heroic look on her face.
Each person was given a pair of fire tongs and a charcoal stove,
"I've been a master for so long and I haven't taught you how to cook a dish yet. Let's start with cooking snails. It's actually relatively simple but you can't cook them well. The food you cook is also particularly delicious, isn't it?"
The little girl nodded excitedly,
"Uh huh huh!"
Lin Chou said as he dipped the snail into a large pot of old hen soup.
"First 'wash' the snails with old hen soup, immerse them completely in the chicken soup, shake the shells evenly and vigorously, then take them out immediately, do this three times to control the water, then pour the cooking sauce into the shells, put it on the charcoal fire and look at me
Whatever you do, just follow it."
"..."
Three faces were blank.
Speaking of this, Lin Chou couldn't help but blush.
"Ahem, although it is easy to make, don't underestimate the cooked snails. Even if the sauce is exactly the same, the taste of the cooked snails will be different. Okay, let's get started."
When cooking snails, you need to be skillful first and then carefull. First use high fire to boil the juice inside the snail shell, then take out the excess charcoal from the charcoal stove and cook it over low heat. The speed should be fast when switching between low and low fires, and no sloppiness is allowed in the time.
The fresh snails wriggle violently inside the shell and slowly die, and the delicious food gradually arrives as the snails leave.
The thick snail shell blocks the view. When burning snails, it is actually very difficult to judge the condition of the snail meat in the shell just by listening to the sound, looking at the color, and smelling the smell.
However, the big-breasted sister Yourong and Wu Ke were quite methodical in their operations. They could flip the conch exactly as Lin Chou did, and they were still able to follow the gourd's pattern.
Lin Chou reminded,
"Don't let the cooking sauce boil out, and don't spill it. The cooking sauce on the shell should be completely absorbed by the snail meat in the end."
The green burrs on the shell made a crackling sound, and soon, thin, broken, layered shells fell apart from the shell.
At this time, you need to change the angle of burning the snail. If you are not careful, the shell will be burned and leaked.
Moreover, every part of the snail body must be grilled evenly, and the cooking time of this part must be judged according to the thickness and shape of the snail shell to ensure that the snail meat in the snail shell is evenly cooked.
There are a lot of bubbles coming out of the boiling sauce, and the snail meat is trembling slightly in it, and the aroma has begun to invade all the time.
Wu Ke sniffed separately,
"Brother Chou, brother Chou, the smell is coming out, is it ripe?"
"It's still early." Lin Chou glanced at him, "Bring it in another direction. Your snail is almost burnt to pieces. Reduce the charcoal!"
"Oh...how did you know it was going to be burned..."
Lin Chou was speechless,
"You can come and tell him."
Su Yourong said crisply,
"Didn't you see that every time Shihu burned the shell until there was a crackling sound on the surface, it started to change its position? The shell is layered, and if there is a sound, it means that one layer is about to be burned off.
..."
Wu Ke said in surprise,
"How did you know..."
"I can see it! Stupid! When the shell is burnt to a brown color, you have to move it! The bottom of yours has been burned to black!"
Wu Ke stared at his snail over and over again.
"Now it seems that some things really require some talent."
"Learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and you won't be afraid of traveling all over the world," Wu Ke took out a stopwatch, "I still don't believe it. An undergraduate researcher can't deal with a small conch?"
