At first, she thought it was just an insignificant piece of waste paper, but upon closer inspection, she found that it contained the treatment plans and various attempts she had been searching for in vain. It was like a beacon in the darkness, lighting the road to hope.
This discovery was undoubtedly a timely relief, giving her infinite joy and encouragement, and reminding her that miracles always happen unexpectedly.
She carefully folded the precious note and hid it in her sleeve, then walked into the kitchen and began to prepare a loving dinner for her family.
In the kitchen, Ran He's cooking skills were fully demonstrated.
She has a skilled technique and precise knife skills. Under her hands, the rabbit meat is quickly transformed into even small pieces, which are paired with bright and juicy green peppers, making the dish colorful and mouth-watering.
With the sound of "whoosh——"
With a sound, the rabbit meat was thrown into the boiling oil, instantly turning golden, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Then all kinds of peppers and bean paste danced together, jumping in the hot oil, stimulating bursts of spicy but not dry, fragrant aroma, filling the whole space with the taste of home.
At this time, the sound of footsteps returning home was heard outside the door. As soon as Zhu Cuihua stepped into the door, she was deeply attracted by the fragrance. She couldn't help swallowing her saliva and exclaimed: "Ran He, this fragrance is more than enough for you to be the head chef of Zui Xiang Ju in town!"
Ran He smiled without answering. He gently picked up a few pieces of rabbit meat and asked her to taste it.
After tasting it, Zhu Cuihua praised it repeatedly, saying that Ran He's craftsmanship was rare and unparalleled in the world.
Just as the kitchen was filled with a happy atmosphere, the children's excited voices came from outside the door: "Mom, we are back——"
Although the three of them were exhausted and their little faces were covered with dust, they were filled with satisfied smiles. What they were holding in their hands were not only a basket of lively crayfish and a few wild crucian carp, but also the innocence of their childhood and the joy of exploration.
"Mom, we both really want to try those little guys with red claws. In order to catch them, Dabao fell down while digging a hole. Now there is mud on his face, which looks funny!"
The second child's innocent words were a little naughty, and he accidentally made the first child's little "embarrassment"
The truth came out, and Dabao blushed instantly. He lowered his head, and his evasive eyes revealed a hint of embarrassment and childish stubbornness.
Normally, Dabao always acted indifferent to food, but ever since he tasted the delicious food cooked by his mother, his desire for food became like an awakened dragon, which could no longer be suppressed.
One day, when he came across crayfish, he had only one thought in his mind - to transform this gift from nature into a feast for his tongue.
Therefore, when catching them, Dabao was more focused than ever, and every movement was filled with careful cherishment.
Ran He originally planned to have only tender rabbit meat as the main ingredient for dinner, but under the eager gaze of the children, her motherly tenderness finally prevailed.
She thought that it was just to satisfy the children's small wishes and let them experience the diversity and surprises of life. It was not too much. So she gently agreed:
"Okay, but go wash your hands and face first. I'll call you when you're ready."
After that, Ran He took out baking powder and a brush from the cupboard and started the simple cleaning process of the crayfish.
In this mountain village, the stream water is clear and the crayfish are pure natural and pollution-free, so cleaning them does not require too many complicated steps to avoid destroying their original freshness.
Zhu Cuihua, who was observing silently at the side, had surprise in her eyes.
In Xiaohe, red-clawed crayfish have always been regarded as a scourge in the fields. Who would have thought that in Ran He's hands, they could be transformed into something magical and become a much-anticipated delicacy on the table?
"Ran He, are you kidding me? This crayfish is a well-known troublemaker here. How can we eat it?"
There was a hint of doubt and curiosity in Zhu Cuihua's tone.
In response to Zhu Cuihua's surprise, Ran He just smiled faintly, without much surprise.
Chinese cuisine is profound and extensive. Many ingredients may seem strange to outsiders, but after proper cooking, they can often bloom into unexpected deliciousness, so it is understandable that people do not understand them.
"Don't worry. Although this crayfish looks ferocious, if it is handled properly, the flavor after cooking will definitely be refreshing. You will know it later."
Ran He blinked mysteriously with a confident smile on his lips. Zhu Cuihua was half-believing and half-doubting, and wondered to herself in her heart, can this inconspicuous creature really be turned into delicious food?
After the cleaning work was completed, Ran He skillfully removed the head of the crayfish, and then cleverly used the remaining oil from frying the rabbit meat, heated it again, and fried the crayfish until golden brown. Finally, he added the secret seasoning and cooked it into two flavors, spicy and garlic. The aroma was overflowing and it was mouth-watering.
On the dining table, various dishes were arranged in an orderly manner, and the crayfish just out of the pot was particularly eye-catching, with a fragrant aroma that seemed to make even the air come alive.
Zhu Cuihua looked at all this, and her previous concerns were gradually replaced by curiosity. It seemed that the crayfish that she once avoided was no longer such a scary thing after being transformed by Ran He.
"Aunt Zhu, look at me!"
Xiaobao picked up a garlic-flavored crayfish lively, deftly peeled off the garlic covering it, and gently broke it open. The shell on the head opened, revealing the white and delicate meat inside.
Xiaobao chewed it with big mouthfuls, looking very enjoyable, his mouth full of rich garlic aroma and sweetness of shrimp meat.
The three of them got started directly, completely abandoning the constraints of chopsticks and enjoying the primitive pleasure of eating with their hands. Only Zhu Cuihua seemed a little restrained.
But under the temptation of the fragrance, she finally couldn't suppress her inner desire, and imitated Xiaobao and tried it carefully.
When the garlic-flavored shrimp meat touched the tip of her tongue, Zhu Cuihua was stunned. The taste was both fresh and delicate, especially when paired with the special sauce, it was not inferior to her favorite pork. This made her re-evaluate this seemingly ordinary yet extraordinary dish in front of her.
At that moment, Zhu Cuihua's admiration for Ran He surged in her heart: "Ran He, you are really amazing. You can make such an inconspicuous thing so delicious. I don't know what words to use to express my admiration."
“A lot of things can be eaten, we just haven’t found the right way to do it.”
Ran He spoke softly, as if sharing a secret known only to a select few.
Her eyes swept gently across the fields, where many gifts from nature were hidden. However, due to the lack of handling skills, these treasures were often forgotten among the soil and weeds, which was really a pity.
Ran He has some unknown secrets hidden in his heart, like a trump card in his hand.
