Siheyuan: 55 years, starting from a buyer

Yu Xiaowei suggested going to nearby houses to find more lobster trap cloth in the afternoon, and everyone started to disperse to find it. To ensure safety, Liu Peng and Wu Nan formed a team of two, after all, Liu Peng was a person with offensive and fire abilities. Shang Xun and Zhang Sheng were in another team, while Yu Xiaowei stayed here with the giant mutant lobster and Xiao Longbao.

Obviously, Yu Xiaowei did not choose to sleep after waiting for others to go out. Instead, when the two teams were out on the action, he let Xiaolongbao ride on the giant mutant lobster and play in the outer yard while he slept for a while in his room.

Xiao Long Bao had a big appetite to begin with, and he was full of energy after eating. There was also a big lobster to play with, so he didn't insist on asking Yu Xiaowei to stay and play with him. He just nodded and went to play in the yard by himself.

But the actual situation was that Yu Xiaowei certainly didn't go to sleep directly. After climbing the back wall for a week, she quickly headed towards the aquaculture farm.

As expected, at the previous location, she found the traps set up by Liu Peng and Wu Nan. She picked one up and saw that there were indeed many lobsters in it, but not many. Yu Xiaowei was not picky about the number and put them all in the space. Then she picked up other different shrimp-catching tools one by one. Some were more, some were less, but generally there were always lobsters in it, and even some loaches, and she didn't know how they got in.

All of these were successfully stored in the space, and some previously prepared food or greasy food was placed as an inducement. After all these were processed, she left and returned to her place of residence.

Yu Xiaowei felt a little tired when she returned home. She often got up very early recently and had a restless sleep. So not long after returning to her room, Yu Xiaoyi really fell asleep, and continued to sleep until Zhang Sheng and others came back, and Xiao Longbao came to call her to wake up.

After waking up, Yu Xiaoyi checked the time and was surprised to find that it was almost evening. "There are so many lobsters?" She remembered that she had collected some of them earlier, but she didn't expect that Wu Nan and the others could catch so many after returning. She also saw some mutated giant lobsters among them.

Of course, although these mutant crayfish are not as huge as the giant mutant shrimps you caught last time, they are larger than ordinary crayfish. It seems that even if we can't cook the giant shrimp, we can still get animal skill points!

"We didn't expect to catch so many. We are really surprised. These were caught in the earliest traps. Maybe they were set in the wrong place or not long enough, so we only got this much," responded Wu Nan.

Yu Xiaowei blinked - in other words, the extra catch this time was all the ones she had caught before. She didn't seem to have caught much at that time, and the time when she set up the fishing net again should be similar to the time when Wu Nan and others set up the new location.

Oh, right! Suddenly, Yu Xiaowei remembered something - she later threw some baits such as chicken intestines into the net. Could it be that these factors greatly improved the results?

Anyway, our dinner tonight is ready! With so many crayfish, there is definitely enough for everyone to enjoy! How about it?

-

Good! Since there are so many lobsters here, let’s just eat them tonight!

Chapter 14 Different Methods of Selecting Materials

Facing the piles of crayfish, Yu Xiaowei needed to patiently clean them and trim their forelimbs. After cooking, they also needed to be soaked to enhance the taste, so looking at the clock, Yu Xiaowei decided to start preparing immediately.

As there were so many of them, Yu Xiaowei taught everyone how to properly handle the crayfish, including cleaning the shells and front legs. With the exception of Xiaobao, the others were responsible for cleaning each crayfish.

Yu Xiaowei was so fast and skillful that she not only completed the largest amount of work, but was also able to collect everything into the space while cleaning. Although she was the busiest one, she also completed the task the fastest.

"Okay, my work is done. You guys take your time cleaning and I'll go stew the first batch first." One pot of crayfish was obviously not enough to solve all the problems, and there were so many of them that Yu Xiaowei didn't plan to use only one seasoning.

So, Yu Xiaowei took a bucket to the kitchen. Considering that Xiaobao couldn't eat spicy food, she chose the traditional thirteen spices this time. Thirteen spices were originally stored in the space. Because of its diverse taste and suitable for various dishes, Yu Xiaowei didn't miss it back then, and now it comes in handy.

First, fry the peppercorns in a warm oil pan until they are cooked through, shred the scallions and ginger slices and stir-fry them, then pour the crayfish in and stir-fry them quickly for a few times, then add cooking wine, dark soy sauce and a small amount of sugar to enhance the flavor, and finally add thirteen spices and continue to simmer at low temperature until the soup is almost dry. Since crayfish are easy to cook, Yu Xiaowei puts them in a bowl when the soup is about to dry up, and keeps the soup to continue simmering, making the meat more flavorful and delicious.

At this moment, Zhang Sheng's pot of crayfish was ready, and Yu Xiaowei also made a garlic-flavored crayfish dish, which was simpler to make than the classic thirteen-spice dish. All you need to do is heat the oil and sauté the shallots, ginger, and garlic, then pour in the crayfish and stir-fry, then add cooking wine, vinegar, sugar, and salt, simmer for a while, and finally sprinkle with a lot of minced garlic.

Then, Liu Peng and Wu Nan brought two pots of food, mainly for adults, and they cooked spicy crayfish. The pot prepared by Shang Yun was the last to be finished, because it was the smaller pot carefully selected by several people.

Yu Xiaowei did not ask Shang Yun to clean and process the crayfish heads in the usual way, but asked him to remove the heads of the small lobsters and keep the tails, and then peel off the lobster meat. Therefore, when Yu Xiaowei's three flavors of crayfish were cooked and left aside to marinate, Shang Yun was still processing his smaller pot of lobsters, but others took the initiative to help, which greatly improved the work efficiency.

Shang Yun peeled off a lot of the meat from the small-sized crayfish, and then handed it to Yu Xiaowei and asked, "Xiaowei, what are you going to do with this lobster meat?"

"That's quite a lot! Let me decide. I'll let you enjoy a mouth-watering lobster feast later." While speaking, Yu Xiaowei asked everyone to wash their hands and prepare to eat. She cleaned the pot of lobster meat herself and placed it on the chopping board.

Taking out the meat of the mutant crayfish left over earlier, Yu Xiaowei mixed the different lobster meats together, picked up a kitchen knife and quickly and evenly chopped them into minced shrimp. Then, she took out the eggs she had found in the neighbor's chicken coop, took out only the egg whites and added them to the minced shrimp; she put the egg yolks aside, added some starch and stirred evenly, scooped out the prepared meatballs with a spoon, and then filled them with a small piece of unbroken lobster meat cubes, kneaded them into round meatballs, dipped them in egg yolk liquid, and waited until the oil temperature was appropriate before frying them in the pan.

The shrimp balls were fried gently over low heat, and soon the color was particularly attractive. Yu Xiaowei also prepared a small dish of ketchup and waited for the stage:

A large plate of fried lobster balls was served. "A little snack before dinner can whet your appetite! This is golden lobster balls, best eaten while hot." The golden and red lobster balls, wrapped in thick ketchup, taste crispy first and then sweet. The full shrimp meat is revealed in one bite, which enhances the flavor of the already minced meat.

Although the quantity cooked by Yu Xiaowei is not too large, just enough for each person to enjoy two, the delicious taste and rich taste it releases on the taste buds are enough to satisfy people's expectations.

Because the little baby especially likes this fried food, Xiao Xiaowei only ate one and left her own portion for later processing. Foods like nuts are not very child-friendly, so she decided to eat more.

This snack made everyone enjoy the delicious food, and those who loved crayfish were even more looking forward to the formal meal that would be served next.

After checking the time, Xiao Xiaowei estimated that the crayfish that had been cooked before was about halfway done, so she asked her to take the plate. There were three flavors - thirteen-spice crayfish, garlic crayfish, and spicy crayfish, each with its own unique flavor. Everyone was not doing anything else at the moment, and they were all attracted by how to peel the shrimp quickly.

The meal seemed endless, but every dish was filled with happiness. Xiao Xiaowei began to peel some shrimps and mix them with rice to make crayfish rice.

"It's so delicious. I used to eat crayfish often, but this one made by Xiao Wei is definitely the most amazing one for me." Wu Nan has praised Xiao Wei countless times without realizing it. Indeed, the dishes are so outstanding that he even suspects that all the dishes he had cooked before were fake delicacies.

Xiao Xiaowei smiled. After she had filled her stomach, she did not pay attention to the praise from the crowd, but instead focused on her own reward points. As expected, although the capture score of the mutant crayfish was not high, thanks to the advantage brought by its large number, every time she prepared a dish with a different taste, she would add a mutant shrimp, and the difficulty points of these shrimps after mutation were an accumulated wealth.

For example, when making golden shrimp balls, Xiao Xiaowei added a portion of meat from the mutant shrimp body to each ordinary shrimp ball, and used a total of ten such portions, so there was a contribution of ten points to the difficulty of capture.

In this way, the golden shrimp balls have a basic score of eight points, plus an additional ten points for the difficulty of mutation, so the total score of this dish is eighteen points, equivalent to one hundred and eighty points exchange points. Since this is the first time to make it, the score has doubled to thirty-six.

The spicy shrimp and thirteen-spice prawns brought a lot of points, providing a basic score of nine points. In these two flavors, Xiao Wei put five mutant shrimps in each, so each flavor had a reward of 280 points.

The garlic-flavored shrimp was slightly inferior, and the lobster rice could not add any mutant elements, so the mutant beast points were not increased.

After calculating in this way, Xiao Xiaowei stared at the number of her redemption points displayed on the panel in amazement. She already had nearly 1,900 redemption points!
