"San Ya, why are you holding a basin again?"

Seeing that the corners of his sister's mouth were stretched to her ears, Zhou Mingqin didn't know what to do.

"Sister, Lord Qi has caught an old turtle. I will bring it back quickly."

"Old turtle?"

Zhou Mingqin's voice also rose several degrees. This old turtle was a rare creature. She had only seen it a few times in her life.

So she went over to take a look.

Only after Qi Rui placed the old turtle in the basin did they begin to observe it carefully.

"I heard from others that this old turtle crawls very slowly. Why is this one different? Look how fast it kicks its legs."

As soon as the old turtle entered the basin, it kept moving its four legs back and forth, trying to escape from the basin.

"That's right. It's crawling fast now because it's afraid of death. It wouldn't crawl that fast under normal circumstances."

The two sisters carried the basin and sent the old turtle back home first, leaving Qi Rui alone by the river catching shrimps.

Qi Rui was fishing for river shrimps back and forth, hoping to catch another old turtle.

But the old turtles seemed to have become smarter, and he didn't catch any until he got ashore!

Never mind. One is enough for them.

After catching half a bucket of river shrimps, Qi Rui put on his shoes and socks before carrying the bucket home.

As soon as he reached the door, he heard Hu Zi growling continuously.

It must have felt that its territory was invaded by an unknown object, so it stared at the basin closely to guard the old turtle and prevent it from running away.

"Mingshu, is half a bucket of river shrimp enough?"

"Wow, that's a lot! That's enough! I'll make you some fried river shrimps later. They're so delicious!"

"I just boiled some hot water and I'm going to deal with that old turtle right away."

"Okay, is there anything I can help you with?" Qi Rui asked.

"There's nothing you need to do, why don't you just take a break from the sun."

Qi Rui nodded and sat aside watching them work.

Zhou Mingqin was washing river shrimps while Zhou Mingshu was bleeding an old turtle.

Qi Rui watched and thought that the old turtle was very ferocious and might bite Ming Shu if he was not careful.

But he thought she was quite professional. She held the old turtle upside down, and no matter how the old turtle moved its head, it couldn't bite her.

Zhou Mingshu easily drained the blood of the old turtle, and then began to process its skin with hot water.

After tearing off the outer layer of skin, she began to cut the hem and remove the shell.

Qi Rui frowned as he watched from the side. If other girls saw this bloody scene, they would definitely be disgusted.

But Mingshu, this girl, is very interested in her. She is really extraordinary!

Old turtles are just like chickens and ducks. When you open their shells, you will find their internal organs.

Zhou Mingshu separated them one by one, and then processed them one by one. It took him a lot of effort to cut up the old turtle.

Her waist was a little sore after she finished, but the rest would be easy to handle as long as she changed the knife and cut it into pieces.

Zhou Mingshu first simply rinsed the old turtle, and then began to braise it with five-spice powder, onion, ginger, garlic, pepper, chili and wine. The old turtle has a strong fishy smell, and it will taste terrible if not cooked well, so Zhou Mingshu was very careful.

In addition to these, Zhou Mingshu specially dry-fried some pork belly to increase the aroma, and added some crushed pepper. After stir-frying over high heat, he added boiling water to stew. After stewing for twenty to thirty minutes, he changed to low heat to reduce the sauce. Finally, he added green pepper and scallion segments and stir-fried twice before serving.

Zhou Mingqin, who was sitting at the door, smelled the aroma and her stomach growled.

But it was a pity that she couldn't eat such a good thing. She touched her stomach angrily.

"Sanya, are you okay?"

"Big sister, the braised turtle is ready. I'll make some river shrimps."

"Okay, then I'll go outside and ask Erya to go home."

Zhou Mingshu caught a lot of river shrimps and prepared to cook them in two ways, one dish was blanched and the rest was fried.

The river shrimps were very bright after being drained. Zhou Mingshu sprinkled some flour on them, mixed it evenly, and put them into the oil pan little by little.

As soon as the shrimp is put into the pot, its unique fresh fragrance spreads out.

Seeing that Zhou Mingqin had left, Qi Rui didn't want to sit in the yard anymore, so he went to the kitchen.

"Sir, come and try this fried river shrimp. How does it taste? I've already added seasoning to it, so you don't need to adjust the dipping sauce later."

"Okay, let me try it."

The river shrimps on the plate were scattered and did not stick together because of the presence of flour.

"The taste of this river shrimp is particularly fresh and crispy."

"Mmmmm, yes, it's delicious."

"Haha, these small river shrimps are different from other large shrimps. They only need to be fried once. It's simple and convenient."

Zhou Mingshu was frying in the front and Qi Rui was eating in the back, it was so delicious.

Qi Rui felt that he was really happy at this moment.

But before he could enjoy it enough, Zhou Mingqin and Zhou Mingqi came back.

As soon as Zhou Mingqi entered the door, he started shouting that the food tasted delicious and he couldn't wait to pull the table to eat.

Also coming back was a guy called Rufeng.

He has a good nose and sharp eyesight.

When it was time for dinner, he would focus his attention on the chimney of Lao Zhou's kitchen. In this way, no matter how busy he was, he would not miss any meal of Lao Zhou's family.

He was very servile and helped to move the tables and chairs, and filled all the teacups one by one.

When he is away from home, he cannot let his master be criticized, otherwise it will be his fault.

"Are you ready? Come and get the bowl~"

"Braised turtle, also called braised soft-shelled turtle, blanched river shrimp, deep-fried river shrimp, garlic sprouts, bacon, and a scrambled egg with wild onions."

"Wow, what a rich meal! It smells so good! I'm already looking forward to the next meal before I even start eating this one."

Rufeng and Qi Rui helped to carry the plates and bowls outside, and Zhou Mingshu brought out the remaining chopsticks and pickles.

Zhou Mingqi, who couldn't sit still, went to the warehouse to get yogurt.

Zhou Mingshu looked at everyone's seats and moved the braised turtle away from his elder sister.

"Big sister, you can't be greedy. I'll make it for you after the baby is born. Then you can eat whatever you want."

"Don't worry, I won't sacrifice my body for a bite of food. I'll eat other things. These shrimps and wild onions are very good. I think they are more delicious than your old turtle."

"That's right. When Mingshu was frying this wild onion dish just now, he specifically said that it was made for you. Eat more eggs to supplement your nutrition."

Zhou Mingqin didn't expect Lord Qi to speak for San Ya. She smiled and nodded and started to eat.

"There are still a few small fish in the bucket. We will have fish soup in the evening."

"Okay, I like this one. I'm really looking forward to it~"

The originally peaceful dining table became silent after the meal started, and everyone was concentrating on eating the food in front of them.

Delicious food is common, but food as delicious as this is rare!

Put the small river shrimps whole in your mouth and chew them back and forth. The more you chew, the more fragrant and fresh they become, and they are also crispy!

I couldn't bear to throw away even the shrimp legs and whiskers...
