Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Yao Qingnian took out a bucket of crayfish that he had just caught, poured them into a large basin, brought water and started to wash them.

"Wife Huaijin, what are you doing? Why are you doing all these things?" Lu Mingchuan asked in confusion when he saw a large basin full of insects.

"Dad, we're having this for dinner!"

"Can this thing be eaten?" Although Yao Qingnian always cooked some weird things, such as snake meat, Tianqing and so on, he was no longer surprised. But now, what she held was a bug that could pinch people!

"Of course, just wait and eat! When have I ever disappointed you with my cooking?"

Yao Qingnian began to clean the crayfish. She picked up a lobster skillfully and carefully brushed off the dirt on the crayfish with a brush. The crayfish waved its big claws, as if it wanted to make a final resistance, but Yao Qingnian was not moved at all.

She gently pinched the lobster's back to make it unable to move, quickly cut off half of the lobster's head diagonally, and then pulled out the legs and gills. The last critical step: removing the shrimp thread. The shrimp thread of the crayfish is located at the tail. Grab the middle part and rotate it along the bottom to pull it out. After this complete process, a lobster is considered clean.

Lobsters are delicious but difficult to clean. It took more than an hour to clean a basin of lobsters. Yao Qingnian was tired and sweating. He rinsed the processed lobsters with clean water. After a while, all the lobsters in the basin became clean and the next step was to cook them.

Yao Qingnian asked Liu Shuyue and Lu Mingchuan to peel garlic together. Since there were no chili peppers, they could only make garlic flavor.

Scoop a piece of lard into the pan, wait for the oil to melt and then heat it up, add half of the prepared minced garlic and ginger, stir-fry until fragrant, then add sugar and stir-fry, pour in the cleaned crayfish, stir-fry until it changes color.

Pour the beer and water taken out from the space to cover the lobster, add soy sauce, scallions, bay leaves and star anise, and season with salt. Cover the lid, bring to a boil, then simmer over low heat until the sauce is reduced, then pour the remaining minced garlic into the pot and stir-fry until the sauce is thick, remove from the pot and serve on a plate, and the fragrant minced garlic lobster is ready.

"Come on, Dad and Mom, one plate each, there's more in the pot after you finish!"

The old couple looked at the crayfish in front of them and hesitated to eat them.

"Eat! Don't worry, I guarantee you'll want more after eating it. Here, I'll give you this beer. Beer and crayfish are the best."

Yao Qingnian was the first to pick up a crayfish, peel it, put it in his mouth, and then took a sip of ice-cold beer. The feeling was indescribably wonderful.

"What kind of alcohol is beer? I've never heard of it."

Picking up the beer that still had a layer of hops on it, Lu Mingchuan looked at it curiously.

"I bought it at the grocery store in the market. You can try it."

After seeing the last incident of the stinky offal being turned into braised food, and seeing how deliciously Yao Qingnian ate it, they did not hesitate any longer and started eating like Yao Qingnian did.

"Wow! I didn't expect that this big insect is so delicious! And this beer is rich and mellow, refreshing and elegant, icy cold, and it tastes so good!" Liu Shuyue, who doesn't like drinking much, thinks that the taste of beer is really unique, and the meat of this big insect is several times more delicious than pork.

“I said it was delicious!”

In addition to expensive wines, Yao Qingnian's space also has several boxes of beer. Occasionally, he orders some takeout crayfish and drinks some beer, and all the fatigue of the day disappears.

"Huai Jin's wife's craftsmanship is truly amazing." Lu Mingchuan praised.

After a while, the three people's front were filled with lobster shells. Yao Qingnian cooked about five or six pounds, which were all eaten by the three people. There were more lobster shells than meat, and even so many pounds felt not enough.

"Daughter-in-law, where did you catch so many of these big bugs? I saw them in the fields when I was working, but only a few."

Crayfish not only have strong adaptability, but also reproduce quickly. If so many crayfish are not caught and eaten in time, they may damage the ridges of crops.

"In the muddy pond at the foot of the mountain to the west."

"I know that muddy pond. It has been abandoned for many years. I guess it was formed naturally when it rained."

Yao Qingnian decided to go to the village chief tomorrow and buy the abandoned mud pond to raise crayfish.

After dinner, I accompanied Liu Shuyue and others in the yard to digest the food and chat. The breeze blew, and most of the summer heat dissipated.

Yao Qingnian returned to the house and entered the space to prepare to wash up and go to bed. Something unexpected happened to her. She took some of the crayfish she caught today out to cook, and left the rest in the space. But when she came in, she was a little overwhelmed.

She saw that the lid had fallen off at some point and all the lobsters in the bucket had jumped out. The floor and table in her laboratory were all covered with lobsters.

"Oh! I was careless and didn't cover it tightly!"

Yao Qingnian spent most of the night catching all the lobsters back into the bucket. This time she put a lid on it and found something to hold it down before she felt relieved: "If you run away again, I'll braise and eat you all tomorrow!"

Crayfish: "What the hell did I do to offend anyone? You said you wouldn't eat me if I didn't run away."

When catching lobsters just now, Yao Qingnian caught a glimpse of the instant noodles that had been placed in the living area, and an image came to her mind: "Instant noodles with crayfish"

She decided to sell this new product in the store, garlic crayfish, braised crayfish, and crayfish in instant noodles.

It’s a pity that her peppers had just bloomed, otherwise it would have been perfect to make a spicy crayfish.

The next morning, Yao Qingnian went to the village chief's house and told him that she wanted to buy the mud pond.

"Huai Jin, why did you buy that muddy pond? It's been abandoned for so long, it's hard to clean it up."

"It's useful. It's backed by a mountain and has running water. It's very suitable for raising some fish."

"If you want to raise fish, there are other places in the village where you can buy them," the village chief advised.

"I want that one."

"I heard there are giant insects in there that can bite people!"

"Village chief, to be honest, I went there just for the big insects. I decided to buy that land and raise them."

"Wife Huaijin, are you crazy? There are so many big insects, and you still want to breed them?"

"Not crazy, you'll know when the time comes."

Yao Qingnian said affirmatively.

"Okay! Since you've made up your mind, I'll sell it to you. That place is remote and hard to use for anything. If you want, treat it as wasteland. I'll get you a land deed."

"Thank you, village chief. I'll trouble you to make the trip. This is the money for the land deed. You must accept it this time."

A few days ago, Yao Qingnian bought the wasteland in the backyard of his family, and Liu Jinhua did not accept the money for the land deed. This time, she had to give it to him no matter what.

"Okay, I'll get it done for you as soon as possible."

The village chief did not refuse. He took the silver and went to get the land deed for Yao Qingnian.
