Chapter 315: Abundant harvest and controversy over shrimp practices

On the edge of the tidal flat breeding pond, Jiang Yichen grabbed a large shrimp with a long handle.

"Okay! Brother Chenzi is so amazing...wow, it's so big." Qingqing immediately cheered and excited.

When the three of them saw the prey they captured, they were even more surprised. They saw that the prawn should be nearly thirty centimeters long. After weighing the amount, it was almost half a pound. They were wearing majestic and hard blue armor, black eyes, and slender and sharp forehead swords, which made them look like a general among the shrimps.

Qingqing came forward excitedly, took the prawns from Jiang Yichen, and wanted to take the prawns carefully.

Unexpectedly, the prawn, who was disguised as honest, suddenly moved, and arched his waist and back, bounced up instantly, and slipped out of Qingqing's hand.

"Oh!" Qingqing was splashed with water on her face and quickly wiped it with her hands.

Fortunately, the prawns did not escape back to the pond, but fell to the ground instead, jumped around.

The big white goose rushed forward, pecked with its flat mouth, whipped its wings, and beaten it without saying a word, as if to relieve Qingqing.

The poor prawn was not its opponent. It was beaten to roll around the ground, stuck in mud and sand, and was in a mess.

Xizi quickly stopped the big goose who was abused by the prisoners, leaned over and took the prawns and put them into the bucket.

"Haha, be careful, our shrimp is not worse than the wild ones at all." Jiang Yichen smiled and took out a dry towel from the space and handed it to Qingqing.

"It's so hateful." Qingqing said angrily while wiping her face. There was a smell of fishy sea on her face, which was really bad.

"It's nothing. It's okay to turn into big red shrimps when it's on the table." Xizi comforted.

Next, Jiang Yichen continued to use a scoop to perform shrimp catching performances. He always had a quick grasp of his skills, and his eyes were very accurate, so he could avoid it. This surprised Xizi, who just thought he was a blind cat and met a dead mouse.

Brother Chenzi actually has such skills, which is much better than himself who has been rolling and playing in the river water in the countryside since he was a child and catching fish and shrimps. It is really incredible.

As for Jiang Yichen himself, he was calm. Since he obtained the ice space, his body's strength and reaction speed have increased a lot. It is not surprising that he has performed such a thing.

Soon, ten large prawns were filled in the bucket, all about 30 cm long. If they were put on the market, just for the rest, it would be a first-class high-end product. There were five people on the island, just one and two. After Jiang Yichen heard Xizi and Qingqing report the numbers, he immediately stopped.

Seafood is the most fresh of all ingredients, and it cannot be wasted.

"These are all big shrimps. They look so majestic." Qingqing lowered her head and observed the bucket. She asked curiously. Such a rich harvest made her very excited, and she temporarily forgot the smell of the sea on her face.

"This is wrong. Prawns are different from other animals. The big ones are all female." Xizi explained while adding some sea water to the bucket.

"Oh, this is quite interesting." Jiang Yichen said with a smile.

At the same time, looking into the pond. Since this is the case, in the society of shrimps, small male shrimps are easily bullied, and the process of pursuing female shrimps will be even more difficult and miserable.

He asked Xizi again, how many shrimps can there be in this pond?

"This is hard to say, and they won't be honest in line for me to count. Well, I think about it, I guess there must be about 300 people." Xizi thought about it for a while and responded.

"Wow, three hundred, so many."

Qingqing was very happy when she heard this. How long does it take to eat such a big shrimp? Although she hasn't entered the kitchen yet, she can only jump around and taste like this.

"What a greedy girl. Just get a few to try. These shrimps are not just for us to eat, and they will have to be sent to the restaurant to serve customers in the future." Jiang Yichen reminded, so that the little girl would not always worry about it.

Qingqing grimaced at Jiang Yichen.

Then, Xizi went to the pool next to him to pick up some bamboo clams sleeping in the mud and sand with iron wire, and put them into the bucket.

These things are not small in size, with a body of more than ten centimeters long, and the two shells are wrapped in bamboo tube shapes. The yellow-brown outer skin is smooth and shiny. It looks very unique.

After the capture work was completed, the three of them returned together. Xizi walked in front with the bucket, and looked down at the bucket from time to time, thinking about how to deal with these guys.

Back in the bamboo yard, Lai Shun'er and Shi Suoer had finished the shower and were fiddling with the semi-automatic washing machine in the water room. Various clothes were piled up in the basin next to them. From the window, he saw Jiang Yichen and others taking things into the yard, so he came out to take a look.

"Wow, what a big shrimp." Lai Shun'er took the bucket from Xizi's hand, and when he saw what was inside, he couldn't help but scream.

Shi Suoer also hurriedly stepped forward and looked. As a foodie, his eyes naturally shone brightly and shouted together.

In recent times, the mudflat pools have been taken care of by Xizi. Unexpectedly, the prawns inside have grown so big without realizing it. It is really surprising.

"Okay, this is the main dish tonight to celebrate our housewarming. Everyone should discuss how to make it? Don't slander it for a rare and good ingredients." Jiang Yichen said behind his back.

"Is this more important? Seafood is the most important thing. After picking up the ingredients, it is steamed directly in the pot. Then mix vinegar, soy sauce, minced ginger and sesame oil into small ingredients and put them on a plate. Peel the shell and dip it. Wow, don't mention it's too fresh." Lai Shuner proposed the method of steaming prawns without thinking.

After saying this, he felt that the saliva in his mouth increased rapidly, so he quickly swallowed.

"I think it's the best to make sweet and sour prawns, sour and sweet." Qingqing was not willing to fall behind and expressed her thoughts.

"It's sweet and sour, only you girls like it. It's better to make spicy shrimps, haha, it's fragrant and spicy, it's really satisfying." Xizi had already figured out a solution on the road just now, and now he quickly proposed it.

"You kid really doesn't know how to use it. Any spicy and heavy dishes used in restaurants on the street are almost of the ingredients, or they are not fresh enough. You have to rely on heavy seasonings to press." Lai Shuner did not agree with Xizi's suggestion.

"You are the prejudice. There are many heavy-tasting Hunan cuisine and Sichuan cuisine. According to your statement, the ingredients are not fresh. I have talked to people from the south. People said that even if they are heavy-tasting, they must be made with fresh ingredients to be truly delicious and authentic. No matter how spicy or numb, those who know how to know can just use their tongue to taste the ingredients inside through the surface." Xizi immediately retorted.

Several people immediately argued over the cooking method of prawns. Because they all knew that this was a rare opportunity, and these excellent ingredients would not be eaten casually.

"Stop it all. We celebrate the joy of moving in the evening. The bamboo building was built, Shi Suoer made the most efforts and made the most contributions. I asked me to tell you, it should be up to him to decide." Jiang Yichen had a headache when he heard this, and quickly awarded Shi Suoer the right to choose.

Everyone was convinced of this statement. Shi Suoer's performance during the construction of the bamboo building was obvious to all. So they all turned their attention to him.

Shi Suoer felt a little uncomfortable, scratched the back of her head with her right hand and said:

"Well, do I want to eat braised prawns, do I get it?"

"What's wrong with it? Stewed oil is good, just go to the kitchen." Xizi was refreshing. The stewed oil and his spicy recipes were both more important and had the best effect to satisfy cravings.

Since we decided, there was nothing else to say. And since we were going to have a celebration banquet, there were many dishes, and we couldn't get enough of one or two people. So we all went to the kitchen and prepared together.

The kitchen is quite large, and everyone can stand even if they go in.

Xizi is still the kitchen manager and starts to assign work to everyone.

"Who should we take care of the dish of braised shrimp?" Xizi asked Lai Shuner. The island had to talk about the skills of cooking, and it was the same as the two of them.

"You're familiar with this piece, so you'd better come on, I'll do it." Lai Shun'er said, carrying the shrimp bucket to the sink, separating the shrimps and bamboo clams in the bucket.

"Remember to drain the water from the shrimp." Xizi reminded.

When making this dish, you must drain the water of the shrimp, because after adding salt when stir-frying, some water will be released. If the fried dishes are not drained before, it will be soaked.

"I understand this." Lai Shun'er responded and buried her head in cleaning. (To be continued...)
