Chapter 481: Cooking and Watching Movies (Part 2)
Not only do the three women think hairy crabs are ferocious beasts, but even ordinary people think they are ferocious beasts. They are a group of pests, causing people to lose a lot of food.
That year, hairy crabs appeared in large areas, causing people's livelihood to suffer, which made everyone fear hairy crabs.
Now that Qin An had caught the hairy crab in his hand, they were all very excited, and they were even more happy to know that they could eat it.
Qin An grabbed the hairy crab's back and said, "Now is not the best season to eat hairy crabs. You can only eat them in autumn, when they are the fattest.
However, the fact that you can catch such big hairy crabs now means that you never eat them, otherwise you would never be able to catch such big ones.
Although smaller hairy crabs are also delicious, they don’t taste good and can only be used as pickled products.
Pickled crabs not only keep for a long time, but also stay fresh, allowing villagers in the village to have a taste of it.
Now I will teach you a few ways to pickle hairy crabs. There are so many hairy crabs here, let’s do it together. In fact, the pickling method is very simple.
One can marinate it directly with soy sauce, ginger and other seasonings, or marinate it raw. If you want it to be more delicious, you can soak the hairy crabs in wine for a while, then take them out and add soy sauce, ginger and other ingredients. The soy sauce needs to cover the whole hairy crab.
besides……"
Qin An talked about the remaining methods of pickling crabs. The main method is to use salt to disinfect and flavor the crabs.
After finishing speaking, Qin An started to make hairy crabs. In fact, hairy crabs are best eaten steamed, and he likes to eat steamed hairy crabs the most.
Peel off the crab shell and take a bite of the golden crab paste. The delicious taste will leave a lingering aroma in your mouth.
Qin An only lightly pickled a few hairy crabs and steamed the rest.
After putting the crabs in the steamer, Qin An asked the third daughter to cook shrimps again, telling the third daughter that fresh river shrimps only need to be passed through water.
In addition, you can also make drunken shrimps. Qin An doesn't know how to make other shrimps, because the river shrimps are too small to be different from sea shrimps and shrimps from other places.
At that time, river shrimp was the best for drunken shrimp. It had a chewy texture and was very delicious.
Next, Qin An will make soup. There is a turtle that can be used to make soup, which is very nutritious. Moreover, this turtle weighs at least twenty kilograms, so the nutritional value of this pot of soup is even higher.
"Go to Lao Xia to order some wolfberry and yam, and stew it with the soft-shelled turtle in soup. After drinking this soup, its nutritional value is very high. It can increase the body's resistance, nourish the kidneys, strengthen blood, and beautify the skin.
To put it simply, it can be drunk by men, women, old and young. Qin An said.
Zou Feng said: "I'll send someone to get wolfberry and yam."
Qin An nodded and said, "Okay, I'll deal with this big guy."
Qin An then cut the turtle into eight pieces and handed them to Li Yanran and Ying Yinman to clean them.
Because the yam and wolfberry had not arrived yet, Qin An handed over the method of making turtle soup to Li Yanran and Ying Yinman. .
He himself planned to cook tonight's main course, vinegared live fish, but before that, he wanted to see if they had finished watching the movie.
So Qin An came to the stone table, looked at the laptop, and lightly touched the mouse.
"What?"
"stop."
Ying Zheng, Li Si and others said almost at the same time that they thought Qin An was going to shut down the movie.
Qin An looked at everyone inexplicably and said, "What are you doing? I'm just checking the time to see if it's almost over."
Then he looked at the computer and saw that it was over in five minutes, so he smiled and said, "In five minutes, the movie will be over. I'll make you jealous after watching it."
There is no way, although this dish is not only quick to cut and cook, but the most important thing is to serve it quickly, otherwise the fish will die and there is no way to make this vinegar-cooked fish alive. "
Ying Zheng said, "We'll talk about the food later. Let's finish the movie before we talk."
"Yes, we can eat it anytime, but if we are not allowed to watch the movie, we will always feel uncomfortable," Li Si said.
Meng Yi said: "Sir, since there are still five minutes, why not wait for us for five minutes before talking."
Others asked Qin An not to interrupt Tan and watch the entire movie.
Qin An was speechless. Isn't it just a movie? Is it necessary? He stepped back indifferently and watched the last five minutes with everyone.
"It's over." Qin An said after seeing the subtitles appear.
"Is this the end?" Ying Zheng said with unfinished meaning.
Qin An nodded and said: "Of course, as long as the subtitles appear, it will be the end. Finally, I will tell you who the actor is, what program he plays, which companies have invested in this movie, etc.
Now that the movie is over, you can eat first after I put away the computer. I will cook the main course of live fish in vinegar for you. "
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, hurry up, I have a lot to ask you."
"That's right," Lis said. "After watching this movie, I was filled with doubts."
"I'm curious as to why those soldiers were so brave and fearless of death when they knew they were going to die, and persisted in the mission until the last person died," Zhang Han said.
"Me too." Meng Yi said.
Qin An immediately interrupted everyone's questions and said slowly: "Don't worry, since I'm showing you the movie, I know that you will have many questions that you want to know.
Please rest assured that I will definitely answer your questions after I make the fish. "
"Then why don't you do it quickly?" Everyone said in unison.
Qin An was so frightened by their behavior that there was cold sweat on his forehead.
Then he said in a flattering manner: "Don't worry, I will do it now, immediately, immediately."
Ying Zheng and others watched Qin An come to the stove as if he was running away, and then ordered Zou Feng to handle the carp.
After scraping the scales of the fish, disemboweling it, taking out the intestines and other internal organs, and then cutting flowers on both sides of the fish, the movements were very skillful and fluent, and everything was completed in less than a minute.
The rest was all handed over to Qin An.
Qin An took the processed fish and immediately battered, fried, and cooked the juice. His movements were smooth and fluid. Watching Qin An cook, it was as if he was watching a piece of art.
"I didn't expect Qin An's cooking skills to be so good. I was a little dazzled." Ying Zheng said.
Li Si said: "It seems that I didn't have such cooking skills before."
Feng Quji said: "He must have practiced this dish many times, otherwise he would not have such a skill."
Everyone nodded. They also felt that Qin An was very familiar with this dish and had practiced it at least a hundred times, so his movements were so deft.
Soon they smelled a burst of aroma. They were so absorbed in watching the movie just now that they didn't even notice the aroma of pickled fish. Now the aroma of live fish in vinegar made them completely smitten.
