There is strength in numbers. In the same half hour, Qin Xiaoxiao only caught seven or eight crayfish. As soon as Qin Ergou and other children took action, Qin Xiaoxiao harvested forty or fifty crayfish in an instant, and Qin Xiaoxiao was stunned. Jumping up and down with joy.

These children worked for more than an hour in total. When they left, almost everyone had about ten fruit candies. Qin Xiaoxiao also gave Qin Ergou two more fruit candies to thank him for taking the lead in helping.

Qin Xiaoxiao had just packed up his things and was about to go back when Su Lu came over first.

"I saw you weren't at home after get off work, so I thought you had gone to Nai's house, but Nai didn't know where you were. I searched for a long time and asked several people to find you. Why did you want to come to the river? You forgot about winter. Did you fall through the ice hole? Don’t come to the river anymore."

Su Lu was mumbling while holding the bucket in his hand. When he saw the crayfish in the bucket, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

"You came to the river just to fish for this thing?"

Qin Xiaoxiao hugged Su Lu's arm and nodded, "No, I paid nearly three kilograms of candy for these crayfish."

Qin Xiaoxiao stretched out his fingers and raised his chin proudly.

Su Lu rolled his eyes, "Are these crappy things worth three kilograms of fruit candies? Which one is more and which one is less? Wife, why don't you know how to settle accounts?
If you want to eat, fine, I'll help you fish next time I'm at home. It's not worth it for you to spend three kilograms of fruit candies in exchange for such a small amount! "

Qin Xiaoxiao curled his lips, "That's because you haven't eaten spicy crayfish before. I'll make it in a while. It will be so delicious that it will be swallowed by your tongue."

Su Lu rolled his eyes again, "How come I haven't eaten it before? I ate this stuff all the time when I was a kid. It's not delicious at all. The shell is so hard that it's not meaty. It's hard to grill. It's so hard to eat." It’s not that my family was too poor to eat meat when I was young. This thing is still considered meat, otherwise who would eat it? Now people in the village use it to feed chickens.”

Qin Xiaoxiao continued to pout, "Haha, just wait. When I make it into delicious food, you will know whether these three kilograms of fruit candies are worth it."

After saying that, Qin Xiaoxiao stopped waiting for Su Lu and skipped towards the Educated Youth Home with his hands behind his back.

Su Lu looked at Qin Xiaoxiao's back, smiled and shook his head.

"Still a child!"

The two of them returned home quickly, one after the other. Qin Xiaoxiao threw Su Lu a brush and then directed Su Lu to clean the crayfish. She ran outside the hospital and picked a lot of edamame beans and came back, preparing to cook the edamame beans. .

It was too late to cook the peanuts. She and Su Lu didn't grow peanuts in their private plot. If they wanted to eat peanuts, they had to go back to the Qin family's private plot to pick them. It was too troublesome and she was too lazy to go.

The edamame water will be cooked in 3 minutes. Qin Xiaoxiao put in the seasonings while boiling the water, including peppercorns, aniseed, star anise, cinnamon, coarse salt, two bay leaves, and finally some cumin.

After the edamame was cooked, take it out and put it aside. Su Lu's crayfish was almost cleaned and the shrimp threads were removed. Qin Xiaoxiao checked it and found that it was completely in compliance with the standards. Then he started to prepare spicy crayfish.

First take out two bottles of beer from the space and set aside. Then put the ginger, onion, garlic, dried chili pepper, aniseed, peppercorns, cinnamon and bay leaves into the heated soybean oil and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the bean paste, and then add Pour the cleaned crayfish into the pot and stir-fry over high heat, and finally pour beer into the pot.

Since there were a lot of crayfish, Qin Xiaoxiao poured more than half a bottle of beer, added a small amount of water, then added soy sauce, oyster sauce, cooking wine, and sugar to taste, covered the lid and simmered over high heat for 10 minutes, then opened the lid and simmered for 10 minutes. Reduce the juice over high heat, and a spicy and fragrant crayfish is completed.

He walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of crayfish and looked proudly at Su Lu, who had already swallowed his saliva. "How is it? Does it smell good?"

Su Lu's eyes had not left the wok since Qin Xiaoxiao stir-fried various seasonings, and he had stayed close by while the crayfish was being cooked. Now that the crayfish was finished, Su Lu's eyes were almost green.

Keep clicking, Su Lu swallowed twice more, "Xiang, wife, can you eat it?" Qin Xiaoxiao smiled and put the crayfish on the table and motioned Su Lu to take off his shoes and get on the kang.

After receiving permission, Su Lu couldn't bear it any longer. He quickly took off his shoes and climbed onto the kang to sit down, waiting for Qin Xiaoxiao's order.

Qin Xiaoxiao first poured out one-third of the crayfish, and then put two bottles of beer on the table. "Crayfish and beer are a perfect match."

He pushed the cooked edamame in front of Su Lu and said, "You eat it first, and I'll give some to my father, my mother, and the others to try."

Su Lu, who was just about to use his chopsticks, heard this and quickly went to the ground to put on his shoes. "You eat first, and I'll deliver milk to you."

Qin Xiaoxiao quickly stopped him, "No, you've been tired from work all day. Come and eat quickly. I'll just go and deliver. By the way, have my uncle and my brother come back?"

Su Lu looked confused, "Aren't uncle and brother at home? Where have they gone?"

Qin Xiaoxiao then remembered that he had not told Su Lu about Dr. Liu's broken leg.

"Dr. Liu broke his leg when he went up the mountain to collect medicine. My uncle and my brother drove him to the county hospital on a tractor. They went there in the morning. At this time, I didn't know if he was back.

Okay, you eat first, I'll be right back. "

Su Lu no longer stopped him. The key was that the aroma of crayfish made his mouth water. He couldn't help it any longer. "Okay, I'll eat first. You go and come back quickly."

Su Lu looked at the sky again, "It's still bright, but it will get dark if it gets later. Although the village is quite safe, you have to be careful and don't come back too late."

Qin Xiaoxiao agreed and walked out of the Educated Youth Yard with a basin in hand.

The Qin family had just finished eating, and Qin Feng and Qin Ye hadn't come back yet. Apart from Qin Aiguo, there were only four women in the family, so the food was simple. Ma Dahua rolled out the noodles, which Qin Xiaoxiao had given here a few days ago. Meat sauce, perfect for mixing with noodles.

Qin Xiaoxiao came at just the right time. He put the basin on the table and said with a smile: "I came just in time. I caught some crayfish during the day and made spicy crayfish at night. Can you guys taste the spicy crayfish?"

Qin Aiguo and Mrs. Qin had already smelled the fragrance. The fragrance was so strong that it penetrated into the nose, making people unable to help but swallow their saliva.

Mrs. Qin looked into the basin and saw it was bright red.

"Why do you think of eating this stuff? You didn't eat it when you were a child because it was too little meat and it was troublesome. Now you're getting married and you don't think about eating it anymore?
What's wrong? Can't survive?No money at home?

If Nai is rich, Nai will give you the money. Let Su Lu buy a pound of meat tomorrow, and Nai will make braised pork for you later. "

Qin Xiaoxiao was so moved by what Old Mrs. Qin said that she hugged Old Mrs. Qin and kissed her fiercely, "My dear, I love you so much. You are the best to me in this world."

Old Mrs. Qin wiped her face in disgust and glared at Qin Xiaoxiao, "Slobber is all over my face. Go away quickly. Don't hug me and shake me. It will make me dizzy."

Qin Xiaoxiao hugged Old Mrs. Qin and refused to let go, "If I don't, I'll just hug her and won't let go even if I beat her to death." (End of Chapter)
