The whole family traveled through the hidden mountains, and the general always came to get the wool

"Sister, sister, look, this big bug is so ugly!"

Su Weixi was lying on a recliner, covered with a straw hat, fishing leisurely while sleeping. When he heard Qing'er's voice, he took off his straw hat and opened his eyes. Qing'er was running towards him with a crayfish.

"Sister, this bug looks so weird and ugly, and it can pinch people." Qing'er held the crayfish between two wooden sticks and dangled it in front of Su Weixi.

"This is not a bug, it's...well, it's called a little red shrimp." Su Weixi originally wanted to call it a crayfish, but considering that this was the imperial era, words related to dragons were not appropriate, so he changed the name of the crayfish.

"Ah? Sister, I know it! But it looks darker, why is it called little red shrimp?" Qing'er asked puzzled.

The bug in front of him was a little red, but it was obviously darker. The little guy didn't know why sister Xixi called it a little red shrimp.

"Do you want to know? You'll know when I cook it tonight. Come on, let's go catch some red shrimps. Sister will make you something delicious tonight." Su Weixi looked at the very confused little guy and said.

"Delicious, sister is going to make something delicious again? Is it this big bug? Is it delicious?" Qing'er was very happy when she heard that Su Weixi was going to make something delicious. She also thought of catching this bug called the little red shrimp. She couldn't help but wonder whether this little red shrimp was delicious.

"It's delicious. It's really delicious. Let's go home with sister and get the tools to catch it."

After saying that, Su Weixi took Qing'er home to get the tools for catching crayfish.

There was no shelf, and he didn't want to take out the stainless steel clamps in the space. Just as Shitou came to find Qing'er, he asked Shitou to go to the foot of the mountain and cut a bamboo.

Split the bamboo, roast it over fire, and use some skill to bend the straight bamboo, and a simple bamboo clip is ready.

Grabbing the wooden barrel and bringing along Qiao'er who was standing by with expectant eyes, the four of them set off towards the meadow by the lake.

Qiao'er is only 8 years old this year. She is usually very well-behaved. Su's mother would never ask such a young child to do any work. She just asked her to keep her own daughter company.

But the little girl is very well-behaved and usually helps her mother with chores such as washing vegetables and making fire.

Soon, the four of them arrived at the meadow by the lake. The grass was not high, about ankle-high. When they parted the grass, they could see a lot of crayfish crawling everywhere.

Su Weixi didn't know if there were crayfish in this time and space, but she had never seen them in the original owner's memory. Su Weixi remembered that in the previous life, crayfish were an invasive species and would destroy crops.

Later, people discovered various delicious ways to eat crayfish, and they gradually began to be artificially cultivated, and the price remained high.

These crayfish by the lake were collected by Su Weixi last year when he saw some crayfish in the Space Supermarket laying eggs. Considering that there might be no crayfish to eat in the future, he placed the crayfish by the lake.

There is a shallow layer of water in the grass by the lake, with varying depths, but the water level is very suitable for the growth of crayfish.

I was too busy later and forgot about it. I didn't expect that they have multiplied so much now.

Seeing so many big crayfish and thinking of spicy crayfish and garlic crayfish, Su Weixi couldn't help but drool.

I picked up a crayfish of similar size and told everyone to only take those of this size or larger, and to let the smaller ones grow longer.

After hearing this, everyone couldn't wait to start picking up the crayfish. They all knew that Su Weixi wanted to use these little red shrimps to make something delicious.

The reproduction speed of crayfish is really fast. They are everywhere in the grass by the lake. You can see crayfish by just pulling apart any bush.

The four of them quickly filled four buckets, but Su Weixi wanted to invite everyone to eat together tonight, so these four buckets would definitely not be enough. So he took these four buckets back first and taught Chef Fang and his wife and Chef Wang how to clean crayfish.

He also ordered Shitou to ask two secret guards to catch a few more buckets. Qing'er was not satisfied yet, so she followed Shitou to continue catching crayfish.

Qiao'er actually hadn't caught enough crayfish yet, but she was very well-behaved and followed her mother to squat beside the basin and help clean the crayfish.

Su Weixi didn't want her to wash crayfish, considering that she was still young and her hands would be pinched if she wasn't careful. But if the little girl had to watch her mother work and she didn't do anything, she would be anxious, just like she was when she wasn't allowed to work before.

So Su Weixi took a small knife and a pot of garlic and asked her to peel the garlic with him.

After working for an entire afternoon, everyone finally finished cleaning more than ten buckets of crayfish. Su Weixi also prepared all the ingredients, including the beer that was smuggled into the jars.

How can you eat crayfish without cold beer? So you ask Shi Tou to make some ice with saltpeter and bring out the cold beer.

The big pot in the yard was placed on the stove again, one pot was used to fry shrimps, and the other pot was used to stir-fry the fried crayfish.

Su Weixi planned to make two flavors, spicy and garlic, especially garlic, which was her favorite in her previous life.

Chef Fang helped Su Weixi cook crayfish in the yard, while Chef Li and Chef Wang cooked rice and other dishes in the inner kitchen.

After all, there are a lot of people, especially the secret guards who are all martial artists, and they cannot be full by just eating crayfish.

A few seconds after the crayfish was put into the pot, its black and red body turned completely red. Qing'er watched the whole process from the side.

"Wow, sister, these are really little red shrimps. They have all turned red." Qing'er excitedly shared the magical scene he saw with Su Weixi. He finally understood why his sister called this big bug crayfish.

"Yes, that's why it's called little red shrimp.

After Chef Fang finished frying one pot, Su Weixi started to make spicy crayfish. Chef Fang then fry the second pot of shrimp and will make garlic crayfish later.

When the crayfish were about to be taken out of the pot, Doctor Fu Laolin and others also arrived at the Su family's yard.

"Su girl, Shitou said you are going to make something new and delicious today?" Old Fu's voice came from far away, and when he walked to the big pot, he saw a red color in the pot.

"Is this what we are going to eat today? What is it? I have never seen it before." Old Fu looked at the crayfish in the pot curiously.

"Sir, Qing'er knows. My sister said this is a small red shrimp." Qing'er hurriedly showed off her new knowledge to the teacher.

"It turned out to be a shrimp. It looks similar to the lobsters at the seaside, but it's much smaller."

Su Weixi was delighted when he heard this, and quickly asked, "Doctor Lin, the lobster you mentioned looks very similar to this little red shrimp?"

"Well, almost. They all have claws and beards. Fishermen on the seashore call them lobsters." Doctor Lin travels everywhere and has seen them on the seashore.

"Since they look so similar, can we call this a crayfish?" Su Weixi said, pretending that he had never seen a lobster before.

"Just call him crayfish. This name sounds more domineering than little red shrimp." Qing'er spoke actively at the side.

"Is it inappropriate to use the word 'dragon'? Don't we need to avoid it?" Su Weixi said while looking at Mr. Fu.

Through their contacts, her family roughly guessed that Mr. Fu must have been an official in the capital before, so they asked suggestively.

"Hahahaha, girl, don't think too much. There are not so many things to be taboo. There is even a fruit called longan." Old Fu understood the meaning of Su Weixi's words and began to explain. However, he thought in his heart that this girl from the Su family was very cunning.

Then everyone started calling it crayfish, and Su Weixi was happy because she finally didn't have to call it little red shrimp awkwardly.

I was originally worried that the word "dragon" would offend the emperor, after all, the emperor was generally called the true dragon emperor. Now I don't have to avoid it, I can call it "little crayfish" like in my previous life, finally I don't have to call it "red shrimp" in an awkward way.

After everyone arrived, dinner began. Su Weixi originally thought that beer would go better with crayfish, but Mr. Fu and Doctor Lin were not used to it and still wanted to drink white wine, so Su Weixi took out a bottle of Wuliangye.

At first, no one knew how to eat it, and it was only after Su Weixi demonstrated the method that everyone understood the key. But not everyone can peel it as quickly and completely as Su Weixi.

Su Weixi: Are you kidding? I practiced this technique for a long time in my previous life!

There is no doubt that the taste of crayfish is very popular. Although peeling the shell is a bit troublesome, it does not affect everyone's love for it. There is also a comparison between garlic and spicy flavors. In the end, more people like garlic.
