    The latest and fastest 177. The author drooled "Huh? What is this?" As soon as Yang Weihong entered the kitchen, he saw the sound of living creatures crawling in a bucket in the sink.  (If you want to read the novel, go to Ye Zi·You~You) When he came over to look at it, Yang Weihong, who was used to seeing all kinds of strange and weird ingredients, was also stunned: "Whathow is this? Xiaoyi, you can't be  Are you going to prepare this thing for cooking? "What is it?"  Hearing that Yang Weihong also had a look of astonishment on his face, He Ying and Yang Ming's curiosity was aroused. They hurried up and took a look, and they immediately looked like Yang Weidong, with expressions of dumbfounding and disappointment.  "Isn't this just crayfish?" Yang Weihong looked at Yang Yi without knowing what to say: "Who eats this thing?" And next to him, He Ying and Yang Ming also had expressions of deep understanding on their faces, and they were both a little dismissive.  .  Speaking of which, although this imported creature that traveled across the ocean from the Americas was first recorded in Jiangbei, a neighboring province in the south of the Yangtze River, the geographical invasion route went all the way west, passing through Huangshan Province and Xijiang Province, and came to  On the land of Xiangchu.  It was not until later when dishes such as fried prawns and spicy crayfish became popular across the country that they entered the water systems of Jiangnan Province due to artificial breeding.  Moreover, in the minds of the people of Jiangnan Province at this time, there were countless aquatic products in the water towns. Even if they had to eat crustaceans, there were river crabs and snails in the rivers, streams and lakes, and large lobsters and sea crabs on the seaside. These kind of things crawled in the sewage ditches.  Most people don't bother to eat things that can be climbed on.  "Uncle, it doesn't matter what you say about this thing, and it doesn't matter what I say. I will instruct you to make it first, burn it out, and eat this for lunch, and then talk about it after eating." I saw disapproval on everyone's faces, and  His mother was shaking her head to avoid it, so Yang Yi had no choice but to speak with the facts.  Yang Yi's words came to this point, Yang Weihong could only look at Yang Min hesitantly, and then went up to roll up his sleeves: "I'm not energetic, why do I feel like a shrimp that is about to die?" After suddenly reacting,  Yang Weihong looked at Yang Yi in shock again: "It's winter now, how did you get these things?" "I and Brother Luo went to Yueyan Town to do some errands. On the way, I saw some fellow villagers digging lotus roots, so I asked them to come along.  They were dug in the pond, otherwise why would they be so lethargic?" Yang Yi shrugged his shoulders, and Yang Yi couldn't help but salivate at the thought of eating braised prawns later.  [Ye*zi] [Yu*you] He still remembers that in 2o14, he went out for a late-night snack with a few netizens on the Tianya community. The price of a pound of crayfish rose to 98 yuan, which was always a bargain in his previous life.  Yang Yi, who was shy in the middle, was simply heartbroken.  Now after rebirth, you must eat a lot to make up for all the losses in the previous life.  "Xiaoyi, you are so serious!" Yang Weihong was speechless for a moment. He actually went through such a lot of trouble to eat a crayfish that no one else would eat.  "Is it clean?" Yang Min asked from the side what He Ying and Yang Ming, mother and son, wanted to ask but couldn't find the words to say.  Although Yang Weihong has been doing management work in hotels over the years, his skills on his hands have not fallen behind. After twisting a lobster that weighed almost one or two weights, he couldn't help but admired: "It's such a big shrimp. If it is clean, it should still be very good."  Clean. Look at this shrimp. It’s so big, but it still has a green color on its tail. It seems like it hasn’t drank the water in the sewage ditch. Xiaoyi, have you been raising it with salt?  Uncle, you have good eyesight!" Yang Yi raised his thumb, then took out an aluminum basin from the cupboard, flushed it and said with a smile, "Come on, uncle, I'll help you put away the shrimps first."  After speaking, he grabbed a lobster and showed it to Yang Weihong: first use large scissors to cut off a thumb-sized piece on the head of the shrimp, then click twice to cut off the sharp tips of the two claws, and finally  Turn the left hand holding the shrimp over, and pinch the middle piece of the tail with your right hand bsp; The movement is decisive, the eyes are quick, and the hands are quick. At first glance, it seems that he has done this job before.  Yang Weihong was a little surprised. From the looks of it, her nephew must have eaten this crayfish.  If that's the case, maybe he can really show off some unique skills.  At that moment, he also picked up another pair of scissors, and after handling a lobster in the same manner, he asked curiously: "Xiao Yi, why did you cut off the shrimp head and the tips of the claws, so that it can taste better?"  Yang nodded, shook his head again, and explained with a smile: "The purpose of cutting off the tips of the shrimp claws is to better absorb the flavor. As for this shrimp head, it is more hygienic to remove it. Although this kind of crayfish is not as popular as people think,  That way, if you live in sewage, some heavy metals and toxic substances will still accumulate in the shrimp heads. It will be healthier if you cut it. " Yang Weihong just hummed and stopped talking.Let's deal with the half-dead crayfish in our hands.  After a while, all the areas that needed to be dealt with were finished. Yang Yi rinsed it under the faucet two or three times, turned back to Yang Weihong and Yang Ming and smiled: "It's been two days since I bought this shrimp, and I have been raising it with light salt water.  I washed them all carefully in the morning. They are definitely cleaner than those in restaurants outside. " Yang Ming and his mother were intrigued, but He Ying still frowned and smacked his lips.  Holding a pot of crayfish, it looked very unacceptable.  Is this enough?  Yang Weihong watched Yang push a basin of prepared crayfish in front of her, and then took out a row of dishes with prepared condiments, and looked over with questioning eyes.  "Okay, uncle, go ahead and cook. First, saute two kinds of dried chilies until fragrant, then add green and red peppercorns, aniseed, green onion and ginger. Just like you usually braise vegetables with oil." After listening to what Yang Yi said  , Yang Weihong was still wondering, this practice is not necessarily so rare, it is just a common household practice.  However, his hands were not slow. He first cooked the vegetable oil, and then added a shovelful of lard that had just been boiled a year ago according to Yang Yi's request. After the lard melted, a handful of double pepper skins, green and red peppercorns, and large  When all the onions and ginger are put into the pot, a strong aroma suddenly bursts out.  Then he quickly picked up the aluminum pot with his left hand and poured it into the pot when the aroma of the chili peel was the strongest. Just this hand made Yang Yi envious.  In Xiangchu cuisine, as long as it is a spicy dish, the process of sautéing the pepper skin will test the chef's skills. If it is too early, the aroma will not be fully released, but if it is one second later, after the dish is out of the pot,  There will be a slight burnt smell.  Although most people can't actually taste the burnt taste, for Yang Yi, who has an extremely sensitive tongue, this is an intolerable sin.  It’s a pity that he himself is a first-rate expert in eating, but when it comes to cooking, apart from braised pork ribs and tomato scrambled eggs, there is no other dish that he can cook well.  The uncle next to him, Yang Weihong, had already begun to stir the pot. The bottom of the pot was half a finger thick with hot oil, plus a full three kilograms of lobster, but it didn't spill at all. It seemed that someone had used magic to confine it within the scope of the iron pot.  .  Stir-fry the shrimp oil, wait until the lobsters are red in color when the oil is hot, then Yang Weihong follows Yang Yi's instructions and then adds a spoonful of homemade spicy sauce.  After stir-frying the chili sauce, I poured half a bottle of Lao Huadiao into the pot, a large bowl of clear soup that Yang Yi used to make, half a spoonful of good rice vinegar, two pieces of rock sugar, and refined salt. The taste is very delicious.  of soy sauce and cover the pot.  "Is that enough?" Yang Min asked Yang Yi a little funny, feeling that it was a bit of a fuss about his son being so serious and inviting his eldest brother, who was originally a special chef, to join the battle.  However, through personal practice, Yang Weihong discovered a little bit about this dish. He smiled and explained to his sister, wife and children: "Don't think that I made it quickly. In fact, this dish is not good at all."  It's not as simple as it seems. Just preparing the shrimps takes two or three days, and the rest of the ingredients include cinnamon, star anise, cumin, tangerine peel, kaempferol, bay leaves, grass fruits, and cloves.  , dried dates, there are a lot of good things! And also include the bowl of clear soup, which seems to be made from fish and mutton bones, Huadiao cooking wine and our own rice vinegar. Xiaoyi, are you eating shrimp or eating it with a side?  "It's so troublesome? How can you make money from this dish? Why would you let your uncle open a restaurant?" Yang Min gave Yang a stern look.  Waving his hands, knowing that he couldn't explain it clearly to his mother, Yang Weihong took the initiative to explain: "No, Xiao Min, you don't know, although it seems very troublesome for us to make this dish at home, but when it comes to mass production in restaurants, it's another matter.  It's the same thing. And if someone really does this, they won't be so meticulous in the selection of ingredients." Yang Yi then spread his hands and said: "It's better for an expert to speak." Then he ignored everyone's speechless expressions.  Go to the side of the pot and gently open a crack.  "Okay, okay, the soup is just right. Don't add MSG or anything like that. I don't like sesame oil either. Uncle, please give me a spoonful of oyster sauce!" Yang smacked his mouth, swallowed the saliva, and then  His eyes swept across the chopping board: "Perilla, coriander, green onion, which one do you want to put in?" Although it is also a meal, the meaning of the lunch meal is different from usual, which means that Yang Weihong is very interested in Yang Yi.  Evaluation and examination of this "innovative dish".  After setting up five bowls, Yang Min went to take out the chopsticks again, but was stopped by Yang Yi with a smile: "You don't need chopsticks, you have to use your hands to eat this." In the end, Yang Min insisted on taking out two pairs of chopsticks, and the other three men,  She didn't bother to care anymore.  A large pot of crayfish was put on the table, and several people looked at the aluminum pot with teeth and claws dancing.Something that I didn’t know how to eat for a while.  They had eaten a lot of lobsters and crabs in the sea, but this was their first time eating crayfish in the pond.  But the oily red color inside the basin was dotted with white sesame seeds and green coriander leaves. The white steam was rising, and the strong fragrance almost made people fly up. Except for the top few lobsters exposed in the soup, all the other lobsters were inside.  All submerged under the rich juice.  And when Yang Yi took the lead, he grabbed a huge lobster, peeled off the head, and took a sip of the soup inside, almost swallowing his own tongue.  "It's delicious, it's delicious!" Yang Yi exhaled while "hissing, hissing" while peeling out the shrimp meat. It was as white as snow and bit into it with the hot juice. The fresh fragrance of the lobster meat was instantly felt.  It explodes in the mouth, with elasticity and a delicate texture, neither lingering nor chewy.  And when the strong aroma of the soup wears off, it’s the sweetness of the meat itself. You can taste the spiciness stirred up by various seasonings, and also taste the fresh and sweet taste of the lobster.  Yang Yi ate several in a row before taking the time to ask: "How is it? Is it ok? This is no worse than seafood, right?" By this time, Yang Ming had already eaten, and Yang Weihong and Yang Min each took apart a piece.  He was the only one who tasted it carefully, but He Ying did not move his chopsticks hesitantly.  "It's reallyit's really good." Yang Weihong imitated Yang Yi's way of eating and tasted it carefully, and finally nodded and affirmed: "This dish is a bit interesting. If there is such a dish on the street in summer,  Basin, plus two bottles of cold beer, I think it will be popular!" "After working as a chef for so many years, he has never moved in the hotel. Yang Weihong's words naturally still have a certain authority.  And when Yang Min and Yang Ming, the aunts and nephews, tasted the deliciousness of the braised prawns, they also nodded repeatedly. They didn't even have time to say a word, and they started shooting from left to right.  The latest and fastest
