After entering the bird tribe, I want to farm

After breakfast, An took Bai Wu and Nan Yao to dig crabs.

Instead of taking them to the river, he took them to a forest downstream.

Bai Wu looked suspicious, it was hard to imagine that there would be crabs in this forest, "Did you bring me to the wrong place?"

An patted his chest and said: "Don't look at this forest is bare, there are a lot of crabs in it."

"Don't crabs grow near water?"

Nan Yao said: "This forest is submerged in water in summer, and the soil is only exposed during the dry season in winter."

Kishi nodded again and again, "Yes, the priest should also know that this forest is called the Crab Forest."

Seeing that both of them said that, Bai Wu felt a little less suspicious.

When they found the crab holes with their hoes, Bai Wu dug them with the hoes, only then did he realize that the two of them were right in their judgment.

The soil here is very humid, probably due to the perennial soaking in water, the soil has almost turned into silt, and once you dig it down with a hoe, you can dig out sizzling puddles.

"Yes." Bai Wu was surprised, "Then let's quickly find the crab hole."

"Come here, my lord priest, orcs have a better sense of smell."

Bai Wu also looked for the crab hole in the morning, he didn't use his sense of smell, he just relied on sight.

There are very few opportunities for him to actively use his sense of smell in his life. In most cases, he uses his sense of smell passively. For example, he can only discover something after he smells something.

Bai Wu looked at An'an like this, and secretly wrote it down in his heart, reminding himself to use his sense of smell occasionally.

Nan Yao didn't push back, he stood on the spot, sniffed around, and pointed in a direction, "This way."

"Okay." Bai Wu immediately followed, eager to find the hole Nan Yao found.

They soon discovered a giant crab hole.

Bai Wu knelt in the mud, bent down and sniffed the hole, "Can you tell if there are crabs in it?"

He could only smell a faint smell of water and mud, but nothing else.

Nanyao's expression was determined, "Yes, yes."

Without saying a word, Bai Wu started digging with the hoe.

An and him, each with a hoe, dug into the hole from the entrance.

With the cooperation of the two, the speed was very fast. After a dozen breaths, they saw a big crab sleeping soundly deep in the cave.

There was still some muddy water in the mud pit, and the big crab was lying in the muddy water, half of its body wrapped in mud, motionless.

"The first one." Bai Wu happily grabbed the crab and threw it into the basket, "I'll go find the next one."

Nan Yao: "This way."

They quickly found several more crab holes.

After Nan Yao marked it, Bai Wu and An guarded a crab hole to dig, while Nan Yao dug another hole by himself.

Nanyao was one against two, and his speed was a little bit faster, and he caught the crab out earlier than Bai Wu and the others.

They shuttled through the forest, and Bai Wu soon discovered that there were not only crabs in the forest, but also other creatures, such as mussels and eels.

"Holy shit! This eel is so big!" Bai Wu saw the big worm rolling in the dug hole, and his skin almost got goosebumps. "It's really an eel, not a snake, right?"

Kishi patted him lightly on the shoulder, "Don't be afraid, this eel has no scales."

Bai Wu took a closer look, only to find that the long worm rolling in the pit had a black back and a yellow belly, and it really didn't have scales.

He felt that his hand was a little soft, swallowed, and looked at the shore next to him, "Catch it, I dare not."

"Look at your prospects." An Tie held the big eel ruthlessly by the seven inches, and picked it up, "This thing can't bite, what are you afraid of?"

"I panicked when I saw this shape, you throw it into the frame!"

This big eel does not look so cute, but it is big and fat.

I don't know if it is fat specially stored for hibernation.

Bai Wu looked at it a few more times, and felt that although its appearance was not so cute, the taste was definitely not bad, so he could think about how to eat it later.

They continued to dig crabs, and with Nanyao around, it was like cheating, and they found one right.

In an area of ​​more than 100 square meters, they dug out four or five large crabs.

At the beginning, Bai Wu was always digging a hole, but later on, he found that if the hole was not big enough, he didn't bother to do it.

The relatively small ones can be saved and come back next year.

Because of a preliminary screening, the crabs they dug later became fatter and fatter one by one.

Bai Wu held the crab and held it up to the sun, and he could still see how yellow the crab was.

The big guys behind are not thin, even after hibernating for so long, their physique is still not weak at all.

Bai Wu felt like falling into a rice vat.

"Let's continue! Not only do we need to dig out big crabs, but also don't let go of these eels! When I go back at night, I will make a fried eel in sauce for you to try."

"Then do you still make garlic crab?"

"I'm definitely going to do it. Today I'm going to make not only garlic crabs, but also spicy garlic crabs. Let's have a extravagant time!"

The two of them waved their hoes, drooling and looking forward to tonight's dishes, and the hoes swung even more vigorously.

Nan Yao didn't chat much, but he swung his hoe very quickly.

After noon, the three people's back baskets were full.

Bai Wu thumped his arm, "Stop digging, go home. Save some for digging later."

"After working so long today, I'm a little tired."

"Then cook early today. Brother, you can help me butcher the eel later."

"No problem, let's make more at night. I didn't eat enough in the morning. I'm so hungry now."

"And me?"

"My lord priest, help me butcher the crab."

Bai Wu has eaten a lot of garlic seafood - garlic lobster, garlic oysters, garlic mussels, but this is the first time to eat garlic crab.

The main reason is that everyone was not so extravagant in the previous life. Crabs have to be steamed and tasted well. If it’s not good enough, it’s over to make spicy hairy crabs. Garlic crabs sound a bit like the way to eat a prodigal.

But now Bai Wu couldn't care so much.

He cleaned the crabs and tied them carefully. He asked Nan Yao to lift the back shell and break off the stomach, and he cleaned the gills and internal organs himself.

It is not difficult to clean the gills and internal organs of the crab. After cleaning these details, the whole crab is full of fat meat and crab roe and crab paste. flowed out.

He personally patted the garlic and chopped the onion, boiled the minced garlic in a large stone pot, and then carefully put the fragrant minced garlic on the back cover of each crab with a spoon, and began to steam it in the pot.

The aroma of garlic is very overbearing, but the crab is not lost to it.

Standing by the pot, they can easily distinguish the taste of the two.

The eel on the bank side has just been slaughtered, scalded with boiling water, and the mucus on it has not been carefully cleaned, but now he ignores the eel, standing by the pot and sniffing hard, "It smells so good."

"Brother, just wait, wait a while, there are more fragrant ones."

While they were talking, Chuan and Mo Kendi came back.

Bai Wu raised his voice to call the two fathers to wash their hands and prepare to eat, then turned around and continued to work.

He patiently took out two mouth-biting fruits, scooped out the fruit sacs inside, and then lightly crushed them into fine powder.

He also chopped the shallots again.

The scallions grown in their family were domesticated from wild onions. They were not as big as the scallions he had seen in his previous life, but they were more fragrant.

He put the chopped green onions in a bowl, and after the crabs in the stone pot were steamed, he took out the crabs and put them on a large plate.

Then he put the sacs of the mouth-to-mouth fruit on the meat of half of the crabs, and left the other half alone, but all the crabs had chopped green onions on top.

He poured out the water in the stone pot, and after drying the stone pot, he put lard in it, carefully melted the lard, and then heated it until it bubbled.

Kishi didn't quite understand why he was doing this step, Bai Wuque scooped out the hot oil inside with a wooden spoon, and splashed it on the crab with chopped green onion with a sound of "sizzling".

Hot oil is poured on the crab meat to maximize the aroma of crab meat and crab roe.

The originally dark minced garlic was splashed with hot oil, and decorated with green onion, the color was rosy and shiny, and the attractive appearance seemed to be specially brightened, which attracted people's attention.

Bai Wu put the spoon back into the stone pot, and greeted his brother, "Hurry up and take out the crabs. Is the eel ready? It's starting to explode."

The eel also has a big bone at the back, and other than that, the whole body is full of meat.

After watching the steamed crabs on the shore, Nanyao took over in person and cut open the spine of the eel with a metal knife, leaving only two pieces of meat.

White Wu simply marinated the eel meat with ginger, garlic, salt, sauce, scallion, pepper, green root powder, and fruit sacs, then heated the oil in a stone pot, fried the ginger and garlic until it was browned, and then fried the eel The fish fell straight down.

The eel meat covered with seasoning was exploded by the hot oil, the stone pot sizzled, the oil splashed everywhere, and the white eyes did not blink. Nanyao asked Nanyao to increase the fire and stir fry quickly.

The eel meat inside changed color, curled up in the hot oil, and was coated with shiny colors.

After frying the white turnip for seven or eight times, the chopped garlic leaves and wild onions were directly thrown away, stir-fried briefly, and then served.

When he served it, the eel meat was still bubbling on the plate.

"Eat!" Bai Wu roared.

"Okay!" Kishi roared.

Today's dinner looks very simple, but it is not simple at all, cold salad with fat grass, big crab with minced garlic, deep-fried eel meat, the last two are hard dishes.

Three dishes, five people, and a few purple roots, let's eat.

Kishi couldn't wait to pick up the big crab, first dedicated it to the two fathers, then handed it to Nanyao, and finally one for himself and one for his younger brother. Before everyone could shirk it, he put the crab firmly on the plate.

Once the crab was placed, he scooped it up with a spoon, scooped up the crab roe, crab meat, and minced garlic, and put it into his mouth with a "wow".

His crab is filled with the fruit sac of the mouth-biting fruit, which is slightly spicy. The spicy taste is overheated by hot oil, and mixed with other seasonings, it becomes a relatively soft and long-lasting taste, which suppresses the greasy taste just right. , to bring out the fresh fragrance.

A mouthful of flesh touched the tip of Kishi's tongue, before he could react, he swallowed saliva on reflex.

So delicious.

Kishi lowered his eyes and savored carefully, feeling that his whole body would be melted in this strong fragrance.

This crab is so fat!

After dismantling it like this, the inside is full of crab meat, so there is no need to save it at all, just eat it as a meal.

Especially when the crab meat is eaten with the fat and grass in cold sauce, the taste is amazing.

Everyone didn't care about talking, and quickly ate crabs while they were hot.

Nan Yao's movements are the most elegant, but his speed is unrivalled.

They ate one in a while, and everyone started eating the second.

Bai Wu's appetite was whetted by the spiciness.

Crab meat is actually a bit like lobster meat. It tastes fresh, sweet and tender, especially steamed with garlic. One bite is a big piece of meat, not to mention more satisfying.

Every crevice of the meat was dipped in the seasoning, so fragrant and spicy that he could taste almost every ingredient in it.

Eat it like this, it doesn't smell fishy at all.

Bai Wu took a mouthful of crab meat and a piece of fat grass quite leisurely, and then another piece of deep-fried eel meat.

This deep-fried eel dish is the best dish he has mastered in cooking so far in his life.

It's not that his cooking skills have improved much, but that this stone pot is so powerful, no matter how big the fire is, he doesn't have to worry about the stone pot being burned—as long as he doesn't suddenly pour cold water into it.

Under this premise, he opened up to cook, and the taste was naturally extraordinary.

This eel dish is just that.

If he cooks more, it will be too old, and if he cooks less, it will be too tender. Now the heat is just right.

A whole piece of fish is wrapped in sauce, still steaming hot, put it in your mouth, and it melts after a little sip. It is full of the unique umami taste of river fresh food.

The eel dug up today is very fat and tastes very good, Bai Wu squinted his eyes, and even doubted whether such delicious food really existed in this world.

This meal was eaten from dusk to night, and even the soup was scraped off by the purple root of Mana and eaten.

Their family has never taken such a long time to eat a meal, and they have never had the patience to chew slowly, but they did it today.

After Bai Wu finished eating, he rinsed his mouth, and then brought back five rock sugar berries from the kitchen, and each of them gnawed on one to digest.

Kishi licked the rock sugar berries, "Otherwise, let's dig crabs tomorrow, I know where there are more."

"That's no good. You can eat such a good thing every three to five times. If you eat it often, your body won't be able to bear it. Later, I will steam the crabs. Let's take out the crab meat and crab roe inside and deep-fry some bald butter."

"What is bald butter?"

"It's fried crab roe and crab meat."

"Is it a bit like the oil-based meat you taught the Qing people to make?"

"Not too far, but this one is more refined."

Bai Wu didn't really want to move.

After Mo Hechuan finished eating, he went to brush the crabs, because these crabs were only steamed and removed, and the requirements for cleanliness were a little lower, so Bai Wu didn't insist on coming by himself.

They had two and a half baskets of crabs. After brushing them clean, Bai Wu put them in a belly-up position and threw them into a stone pot to steam.

After steaming, the family removes the crab meat and crab roe from the crabs.

They ate crabs for a day, and they were familiar with dismantling the crabs. After a while, they dismantled two whole pots of crabs and came out.

Bai Wu poured the only remaining oil into the stone pot, poured the seasoning into it and fried until fragrant, then took out all the seasonings, poured in crab meat and crab roe and boiled slowly.

This step not only boils the water inside, but also boils them to fragrance. It is a job that requires patience. Bai Wu sits in front of the stone pot and waits slowly.

Nan Yao waited with him.

After finally waiting until midnight, all the bald butter was boiled out of the pan, Baiwu divided them into two cans, one big and one small, and gave the small one to Nanyao.

"Take it back, and when you don't want to cook much in the future, you can eat it as a side dish."

"Give me all this?"

"It was originally for you." Bai Wu lowered her voice with a smile, "I'll bring you a jar of pickled radishes later, to improve the lives of bachelors."
