There are few stones suitable for stone pots, but stones used to build simple stoves are everywhere.
As a top-notch cook, Fang Jiaren was naturally the most proactive. She took Dali Sheng Lian'er and quickly went to the entrance of the cave to pick up a pile of rocks and came back to build a simple stove.
The stove is so simple that you only need to set up the left and right sides, then put the stone pieces on top, and finally light a fire in the hollow under the stone.
The stove is long and trapezoid-shaped. In addition to the two stone pieces, small stone pieces can be placed at the end.
Although two stones are not enough for eleven people, they can still roast more oysters, cat's eye snails, sea eggplants, etc. over and over again.
Fang Jiaren, who is good at cooking, naturally occupied a piece of stone and acted as the chef.
She followed the eating method Wen Xian said, arranging the oyster shells on the stone slices and grilling the oysters. It’s just that the shell is too big, so I can only place six of them.
Wen Xian occupied another piece of stone and prepared to start construction simultaneously.
As for the others, it was barely enough to collect firewood and seafood. But asking them to cook is indeed a bit difficult.
They are all young ladies with a lot of money. They can't even light a fire, let alone cook.
Looking at the simple stone pieces, Wen Xian took a deep breath, ritually dipped the bundled hay into the water-filled banana leaves, and then brushed it on the stone pieces, as if it had been brushed with oil.
Then, without waiting for the water on the stone to dry, she poured the oyster meat and snail meat filled with banana leaves on top, and then stir-fried them with a wooden stick to heat them evenly and try not to stick to the stone.
After a while, the thick delicious smell spread with the smoke, making Wen Xian swallow her saliva.
In fact, oysters can be eaten raw, but she didn't want to eat them raw unless absolutely necessary. After all, in a place like this, who knows if there might be other parasites or something.
The fire under the rocks was strong, and the seafood hodgepodge was cooked in a short time. Wen Xian was in trouble, so she just used a wooden stick to drive the seafood into the banana leaves.
After doing this, she shook her head with regret and said: "It's a pity that there is no seasoning, otherwise we could have made so many delicious things."
Garlic, spicy millet, soy sauce, vinegar, lemon, and the aftertaste of the small seafood in the sauce, she even felt that she could use her mind to imagine the dry-roasted seafood in the banana leaves as a barbecue.
When she came back to her senses, Wen Xian realized that the surroundings were quiet.
She looked up and saw everyone staring at her, and their eyes kept glancing at the banana leaves.
She blinked, stuffed the banana leaf to Jiang Jingwan and said, "You guys go sit and eat next to me. I'll grill the eel first."
The eels have been killed and cannot be stored. It can only be made immediately, otherwise it will be wasted.
However, Jiang Jingwan, who took the banana leaf, shook her head and said, "We'll wait for you to eat together."
No matter how hungry you are, you can't lose your etiquette.
It is already beyond the rules to ask the Queen Mother to cook. It would be really unruly to have to take the lead in eating.
Hearing this, Wen Xian didn't try to persuade her any more. She just nodded and said, "Then you put it aside first. I'll be right back."
She didn't expect these people to change their minds immediately. Everything had to be done slowly.
Eels are not easy to cook, so Wen Xian cooled down the fire under the rocks. Then lay the eel and fish bones flat on the stone and wait until it is slowly cooked and dried.
In such a short period of time, Fang Jiaren only grilled six shelled oysters.
She was not discouraged and placed four baked oysters in front of Wen Xian and two in front of Jiang Jingwan. She was going to eat the ones baked by Wen Xian without the shell.
The shelled ones are protected by the shell and are not in direct contact with the stone, so they are in good condition and fresh. The ones without shells that come into direct contact with the stones appear dry and stir-fried by comparison.
Wen Xian was instantly happy and couldn't help but said: "Next time you can bake them all together like I just did. Otherwise, if we want to feed the eleven of us, we will have to bake day and night."
Seafood doesn’t care about filling, it only depends on quantity. In this situation, there is not so much emphasis on it, as long as you can eat it.
Fang Jiaren scratched her head and wanted to say something, but then she changed her mouth and said, "I understand, madam."
She thought that the Queen Mother and the Empress had to be careful in everything they did.
Zheng Rou said weakly: "Why don't we all look for stone pots later? If each of us has a stone pot, we can bake our own."
Just like in the palace, each palace has its own small kitchen. When you don’t want to eat from a big pot, you can turn on your own small stove in the small kitchen.
Before Wen Xian opened her mouth, Hu Keer refused: "No, if we each have one pot, we will consume more firewood, which is not cost-effective."
Now I have to collect firewood myself, and what I picked up today is only enough to burn two meals, let alone eleven people burning it at the same time.
Wen Xian stood up and turned over the eel, nodded and said: "Ke'er is right, if conditions don't allow it, it's better to eat a big pot of rice. Eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it gets cold later. If you don't eat enough, just eat it." Go clean some more and bake them."
Anyway, at the beach, we picked up a lot of seafood today, so we can have freedom of seafood for the time being.
After saying that, she reached out and took an oyster from the banana leaf and put it in her mouth, then let out a satisfied sigh.
After that, other people started to try it out.
If you don’t have chopsticks, just follow Wen Xian’s example and use your hands. If you don't want to, there's nothing you can do about it. Could it be that you are more precious than the Queen Mother? Didn't you see that the Queen is grabbing it with her hands?
For those who are eating seafood for the first time, every ingredient here is fresh. Wen Xian didn't eat it. They hadn't tried it and didn't dare to eat it.
Fang Jiaren was eager to try. After Jiang Jingwan started, she immediately grabbed an oyster and put it in her mouth.
Take a bite of the stir-fried oyster, and the delicious flavor blooms in your mouth. The entire taste buds of Fangjia people are clamoring for deliciousness and deliciousness.
She squinted and tasted the cat's eye snails and clams again. He spat out the sand from the clam on the ground.
Then, she turned her head and said firmly to Wen Xian: "Madam, I will go with you to pry oysters tomorrow."
The cat's eye snail meat is delicious, but the quantity is not enough. It is better to pry back more oysters.
Today, she heard Jiang Lingling say that in the place where the oysters were pried, the whole big rock was covered with oysters, so she didn't have to worry about having nothing to eat.
Jiang Lingling, who was immersed in eating hard, nodded fiercely and agreed: "I want to go too."
She couldn't help but feel annoyed. If she had known she would not scare Wen Xian, she could have brought back more oysters.
She could see that all the oysters pried today had been roasted and eaten. All that's left is the clams waiting to spit out sand, and some cat's eye snails.
"Okay, if the tide goes out tomorrow, we can go. If the tide doesn't go out, we can only pick clams on the beach."
As Wen Xian spoke, he stood up, brought over the grilled eel, and divided each person into pieces to taste.
Jiang Lingling took the eel and held it in her hand, and couldn't help but ask: "Isn't it possible to pick it up every day?"
There are so many weird and weird foods on the beach, and she still wants to go there every day.
