With Pinxixi in hand, I have a supermarket in the Changzheng!

After Grandma Feng left, Sister Chunyan turned around and asked.

"Zhou Yue, are we still going to make fried oysters for lunch today?"

Zhou Yue smiled slightly, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

"I'm planning to try a different flavor for lunch today. Oysters and minced garlic are a perfect match."

Zhou Yue soaked the pea vermicelli until soft and spread it in the pot, then added fresh oysters and finally covered it with a thick layer of garlic sauce.

After being steamed, the taste is so delicious that it will make you fall in love with it, especially the vermicelli that has absorbed the soup, it is so delicious that you can't stop eating it.

In this way, we ate oyster meat for three consecutive days in the base.

Although oyster meat is fresh and delicious, it is hard to eat it every day.

Even if it is the most delicious food, you will get sick of it if you eat it continuously.

When the sun was about to set that afternoon, Granny Feng came again with oyster meat.

The harvest this afternoon was good, one and a half buckets of oyster meat, which should be about 70 to 80 kilograms in total.

After Grandma Feng left, Sister Chunyan turned to look at Zhou Yue and smiled helplessly.

"It looks like we'll have to eat oysters tonight."

When Qiangzi, who was standing next to him, heard this, he made a bitter face and held his forehead and muttered.

"Didn't we just eat oysters for lunch? We haven't digested them yet. Why don't we try something else?"

His younger brother Zhou Xing was also there and echoed the sentiment.

"Yes, I've been eating it for three and a half days in a row. I'm really feeling a bit sick of it..."

Sister Chunyan spread her hands, looking helpless.

"This oyster meat won't be as fresh tomorrow. The weather is hot these days, so it can't be kept for too long!"

Seafood cannot be kept for too long in the hot weather, especially the juicy oyster meat.

These oyster meats were obtained one by one by Granny Feng and her family with great effort, and no one was willing to waste them.

Everyone fell into a brief silence, and the air was filled with a faint smell of the sea and a hint of helplessness.

Zhou Yue suddenly thought of something at this moment, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hey! Got it! I have a solution!"

Zhou Yue thought of an important use of oysters, which is to make oyster sauce.

Oyster sauce is a very important condiment in modern times. Adding a little bit when cooking can make the food more delicious.

Oyster sauce is very easy to make and you can make it at home.

The raw materials used are oyster meat or raw oyster meat. Put the oysters in a pot and boil them. After the water is boiled dry, what remains is oyster sauce.

People of this generation may not have heard of what oyster sauce is, so Zhou Yue gave a brief explanation.

"I heard before that oyster meat can be used to make a seasoning. That seasoning is so fresh and tastes much better than soy sauce!"

Everyone was a little confused when they heard Zhou Yue's words. Sister Chunyan looked at the oyster and asked.

"Can oyster meat be used as a seasoning? What does this seasoning taste like?"

A male comrade next to him also scratched his head and said,

"I've lived for most of my life, and I've never heard of oysters being used as a condiment! I think soy sauce is delicious. Is this oyster condiment more delicious than soy sauce?"

Zhou Yue smiled and explained patiently.

"Oyster sauce is a condiment made from oysters. It is very delicious and has a strong seafood flavor without being fishy. Using it in cooking can elevate the taste of dishes by several levels!"

After hearing this explanation, Qiangzi clapped his hands happily.

"That's great! With this seasoning, I don't have to buy soy sauce anymore. Soy sauce isn't cheap these days!"

In this era, seasonings are indeed very scarce, and ordinary cooking relies on salt, soy sauce and vinegar.

This soy sauce is not cheap either. It requires soybeans, special skills, and a very complicated process.

Nowadays, soy sauce is brewed using traditional methods, which involve more than ten steps, including bean selection, koji making and fermentation.

It takes a lot of effort and almost six months to make a batch of soy sauce.

In this age of material scarcity, everyone has a strong desire for new things; even a small seasoning can make them full of expectations.

"Ayue, let's give it a try. If it succeeds, we can have new ways to cook in the future!"

Seeing that everyone was so interested, Zhou Yue was very happy and went into the kitchen carrying the wooden barrel.

Everyone divided the work and cooperated with each other, and had a lot of fun.

Sister Chunyan and the others carefully washed the oyster meat with water, picking out the debris and dirt mixed in it.

"Okay, let's pour this into the cauldron!"

Pour the oyster meat into the big pot, and then add a full pot of water into the pot.

The fire in the stove was burning brightly. The red flames licked the bottom of the pot, and the water in the pot soon began to bubble and boil.

Zhou Yue stood by the pot and said while looking into it.

"We need to cook the oyster meat for a while longer so that the flavor can be absorbed into the soup!"

Time passed little by little, and when it was almost cooked, Zhou Yue took a colander and scooped out the oyster meat.

We've all gotten a little tired of eating oysters these days and really don't want to eat any more tonight.

Zhou Yue put the oyster meat she had scooped out into a winnowing basket so that it could be dried and stored conveniently later.

The soup cooked with oyster meat is light white in color and exudes a strong fresh flavor.

Zhou Yue left the soup in the pot and continued to cook it.

Zhou Xing volunteered to stand guard by the stove, never taking his eyes off the fire in the stove.

Seeing that the fire was not strong enough, he quickly added more firewood. The red flames reflected his serious face.

This simmered for several hours, with the soup in the pot becoming less and less as the fire continued to lick it.

The contents inside became thicker and thicker, and the originally white soup gradually turned into a brown, sticky liquid.

"It's almost ready. Add some starch water to make it thicker."

As Zhou Yue spoke, she poured some starch water into the pot, stirred it evenly, and then sprinkled in some salt.

"The oyster sauce is now ready, but the color is still a little off."

Zhou Yue pondered for a moment, then poured a little soy sauce into the pot to adjust the color. At this time, the oyster sauce in the pot looked almost the same as the modern bottled ones.

Zhou Yue found a jar and carefully poured the prepared oyster sauce into it. The amount was indeed not much, only filling up a small jar.

Although it was indeed a little less, Zhou Yue's eyes were filled with a sense of accomplishment when she looked at the jar of oyster sauce.

Looking at the bottle of black oyster sauce, everyone gathered around curiously.

Zhou Yue smiled, dipped some oyster sauce with her chopsticks and passed it to everyone.

Qiangzi hurried over to taste it. After tasting it, his face was full of surprise and he couldn't stop nodding.

"Wow! This oyster sauce tastes so good, it's so delicious!"
