Yun Miaomiao pretended to be mysterious and said with a smile, "You will know if it is true or not if you follow me to see it."
Aunt Wang's appetite was suddenly whetted by her. Anyway, it was enough to have someone at home looking at the sea water, so she didn't have to do anything. She immediately decided to go along and watch the excitement.
After grabbing the iron bucket and pliers, Aunt Wang followed Yun Miaomiao to the beach. The tide had receded just as Yun Miaomiao said.
The rocks were also revealed from the sea water, and they looked unsightly at all. Yun Miaomiao also asked several people to go with her. This time she wanted to pick up some easy-to-pick-up items and see if there was a lot of seafood here.
many.
It's autumn now, but the weather on the island is still very mild, not too cold.
Yun Miaomiao remembered that when she was a child, she went to her grandma's house and lived by the sea. At that time, there were not as many varieties as there are now, and there were not many people picking them up, so the seafood was not as fat.
The seafood here is well raised, thanks to the people on the pirates. They don't know how to eat, so many seafood are left on the beach, so Yun Miaomiao can pick it up at a cheap price.
When Aunt Wang got closer, she discovered that there were a lot of seafood on the ground. Her eyes widened involuntarily, and she followed Yun Miaomiao to watch this skillful man pick up the seafood into a bucket with pliers.
The tide receded, revealing pieces of reef, and it was difficult to walk on the flat beach. She carefully walked around the bumpy rocks, marveling at the seafood that could be seen everywhere here.
In the past, there were people in the village who took them with them to catch the sea, but after the imperial court retreated, there were very few people going to the sea. Now, Aunt Wang's eyes were really opened.
Yun Miaomiao called a few people from the village. After she taught them step by step, those who came with her began to pick up seafood in a familiar way.
Aunt Wang looked at their actions and couldn't help but feel surprised, "Why are these people so powerful? I remember that Aunt Sun and Aunt Liu didn't even know the sea food before. Girl Yun, what kind of ecstasy soup are you pouring into people?"
?”
Yun Miaomiao shook her head and explained with a smile: "Picking up seafood is actually a very simple thing. As long as you master the tricks and learn it, it is a matter of time. Aunt Wang, I will teach you how to pick it up quickly."
After hearing this, Aunt Wang couldn't help but sigh, "It turns out there are so many ways to do it. Please teach me quickly. I can't fall behind."
While they were talking, shouts suddenly came from the distance.
"Girl Yun, come here quickly. This thing doesn't look like a fish. It doesn't look like a thing at all. It looks weird. I don't know what kind of monster it is."
Everyone followed her voice and saw a white transparent object washed ashore by the sea and covered with sand.
Yun Miaomiao walked over quickly, and when she saw something clearly, her eyes lit up.
"It's okay, this thing is not a monster." Yun Miaomiao explained with a smile, "This is called a jellyfish, it is edible, and it tastes unimaginably delicious."
Aunt Wang looked at the jellyfish washed by the sea water and couldn't believe it, "Girl Yun, are you sure this thing is not edible? If you pick it back up and eat people to death, you won't be able to regret it.
Go ahead."
Aunt Sun took a pair of pliers and poked it, but she was also worried that something would happen if she ate it.
"Yes, Girl Yun, we don't lack this meal. If something happens to us, it will be too late to regret it."
Aunt Liu on the side also nodded, "That's right, it's better not to do it."
Yun Miaomiao laughed and looked at a few people with affirmative eyes, "Aunt Wang, don't worry, I'm sure this jellyfish is edible. I have also eaten jellyfish, but this is the only one that can be eaten.
When the time comes to make this circle outside, I guarantee that you will all rush to eat it. The taste of this jellyfish is extremely delicious, and it is loved by many people. Moreover, it is difficult to salvage, and not many people know about it, but
Everyone who has eaten it praises it."
Listening to Yun Miaomiao's explanation, the eyes of Aunt Wang and others gradually changed from suspicion to expectation.
Aunt Wang swallowed her saliva and couldn't help but ask: "Then is this jellyfish really so delicious? How do you eat it?"
Yun Miaomiao gestured as he spoke, "We can cut it into thin slices and eat it raw or fried. If it is eaten raw, we can pair it with green vegetables, add some seasonings, and simply mix it. If fried
If it’s cooked, you can add some chili peppers, onions, ginger and garlic to make it taste even more delicious.”
Aunt Wang listened, nodded, and then called to the others, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's get this jellyfish back together. I'm going to taste the jellyfish that even Girl Yun praised today."
Aunt Wang shouted, and Aunt Sun and Liu both joined hands to carry the jellyfish into the sea, wash the sand, and throw it on the rocks. According to Yun Miaomiao, they cut out the edible parts and put them in buckets.
The jellyfish were so big that it took a total of four large buckets to contain them. After the jellyfish were processed here, Yun Miaomiao also took the sea salt he brought and sprinkled it on the beach. In a short time, one or two things came from
It popped out of the sand.
Others were shocked when they saw this scene.
"This... what is this thing that Miss Yun is spreading? How can there be seafood emerging from the sand on its own?" Aunt Liu looked incredulous.
Aunt Wang and Aunt Sun looked at the scene and covered their mouths in shock, staring blankly at Yun Miaomiao's operations.
Yun Miaomiao smiled and looked at the razor clams emerging from the sand, and replied softly, "I sprinkled it with sea salt. This kind of thing that emerged from the sand is called razor clams. It is rare to use it for steaming or making soup."
It’s delicious, and the sea salt can stimulate the razor clams and make them dig out of the sand. If you dig them with your hands, you don’t know how long it will take.”
Others were very surprised when they saw this scene.
They had never seen such a scene before and thought that seafood could only grow in the sea. They did not expect that they could also pop up on the beach.
Yun Miaomiao continued, "It is very difficult to catch razor clams as long as they are in the sand. After spreading sea salt, it is much easier to catch them. You only need to bend down to pick them up. You guys pick them up quickly, I will continue to scatter them. This season's razor clams
It's the fattest one, pick it up and I'll make something delicious for you tonight."
After listening to Yun Miaomiao's words, everyone else invariably remembered the meal on the day when the fish was killed. It was really delicious and could not be forgotten for three days.
"Girl Yun, this little girl has a lot of stuff in her head. We have lived for most of our lives, and we are not as knowledgeable as a girl. She is good at cooking. I don't know which kid is cheaper." Aunt Wang didn't know.
He praised stingily.
Aunt Sun also nodded and smiled, "No, Girl Yun, you've been on the island for so many days, why haven't you seen anyone from your family looking for you?"
"I heard that your family is from the capital. There are so many rich and prosperous people in the capital. Just those people with status can catch a lot. You have to be careful." Aunt Liu kindly reminded.
road.
"Yes, yes, I heard that those young masters in the capital like to have one at home and one outside. They also like to go to flower houses. They are all very romantic."
"I think if this man doesn't come after you, you'd better make plans early, divorce early, and find someone worth relying on."
"You are also a capable person. You have met many more people than us. We don't want such a useless man. Listen to Aunt Liu and find someone who loves you again. We don't want him."
Aunt Wang nodded, "Besides, the two-legged toad is hard to find. Isn't it also hard to find the four-legged toad?"
You said something to me, and in a short time, Gu Fengqing became a playboy in everyone's eyes, who was irresponsible and disliked her.
Yun Miaomiao looked at the aunts across the way dumbfounded, "Ah, aunts, you have misunderstood. My husband-in-law originally wanted to come to me, but it is a long way from the capital to here. When he comes, I have to go back.
Besides, he is not a playboy, he is a capable and responsible man, and he is good to me. If he doesn't come this time, I won't let him come. Don't get me wrong."
"Ouch... It doesn't work, it doesn't work. Some people know each other well but don't know their inner feelings. Girl Yun, you can't be confused..."
Aunt Sun looked like someone who had been there before, and did not listen to Yun Miaomiao's words at all. She kept urging Yun Miaomiao to put the matter of divorce on the agenda.
Yun Miaomiao smiled softly, knowing that Aunt Sun was doing it for her own good, so she explained patiently: "Auntie, I know you are doing it for my own good. If I find that he is sorry for me, you don't need to tell me, I will be the first to refuse.
Is he okay?"
Aunt Liu looked at Yun Miaomiao's firm eyes and said with a smile, "Girl Yun, she is a smart person, and she is the only one we like to worry about. Looking at her like this, I think Girl Yun's husband-in-law is probably caring, otherwise
He won't let Girl Yun speak for him like this."
Aunt Wang also nodded in agreement, "No, I'm just curious about what kind of man like this can take our girl Yun into submission, hahaha."
"Next time, I will bring him to you for a look." Yun Miaomiao smiled brightly, "At that time, aunts, you have to give me a good hand. If you don't believe me, I will change him."
"Okay, okay~" A burst of laughter rang out on the beach, and the fatigue of picking up seafood was instantly dispersed.
While they were chatting and laughing, the tide gradually began to rise. Yun Miaomiao looked at the time and saw that the buckets brought by everyone were full. Later, they couldn't finish filling them. Yun Miaomiao even asked people to go back and get several buckets.
return.
Before you know it, there are almost a hundred barrels in the buckets on the shore. This is the seafood picked up by less than ten people. The area where they move is only less than one-third of the entire beach. If it were all
Now that everyone is here, you can imagine how much seafood will be picked up by then.
Naturally, Yun Miaomiao and her aunts couldn't move back so much seafood, so she had to call Dongqing and the others to push the cart and move it back to the small courtyard.
Returning to the small courtyard, Yun Miaomiao took the jellyfish and two buckets of razor clams and turned around and entered the kitchen, while others were selecting and cleaning seafood in the courtyard.
The seafood they picked up were more or less filled with sand and mud. Yun Miaomiao didn't want the seafood she would eat to be full of sand and mud, so she decided to teach Aunt Wang how to clean it.
The aunts were washing seafood outside, and Yun Miaomiao was doing the cooking in the kitchen.
Although jellyfish are good things, they are also very labor-intensive to handle. You need to clean them with water first, then soak them in cold water, and add a little salt to them. This will make it easier to soak the salt out of the jellyfish.
Change the water once every cup of tea, and it will take about two or three times to reach a level that is edible.
After soaking in cold water, squeeze out the water from the jellyfish skin, cut into slightly wider strips, and soak in warm water.
While the jellyfish were soaking, Yun Miaomiao had already washed the razor clams, cut them open one by one and washed out the internal organs. She soaked the washed razor clams in the water.
Fresh razor clams are best when steamed. There are no vermicelli here. Yun Miaomiao took advantage of no one's attention and bought three big bags of vermicelli from the mall. After soaking, he put it on a plate, and then spread the chopped vermicelli on top.
The razor clams were poured with fried garlic sauce, placed in the basket, and started to steam.
The razor clams are steaming here, and the jellyfish on the other end have been soaked. Yun Miaomiao took out the jellyfish skin, squeezed out the water and cut it into shreds.
For the side dishes, Yun Miaomiao chose some existing things. She cut cabbage hearts, radish and gourd into shreds and put them together with the shredded jellyfish. Then she poured garlic juice and millet and pepper segments on top. Simply stir them in and the flavor will instantly change.
Out.
For the cold jellyfish, Yun Miaomiao used two buckets. After cutting the remaining two buckets, she used them to stir-fry cucumber shreds and add some spicy millet. The taste was so fragrant that it made people salivate.
Five large plates of jellyfish have been installed, and the razor clams in the cage are also ready. Add chopped green onion and pour hot oil, and the taste is even more tempting.
"time to eat."
By the time the meal was ready, it was getting dark outside, and the people outside were just waiting for this meal.
As soon as they heard it was time to eat, one or two people, like hungry wolves, directly carried the plates and the rice, so fast that even Yun Miaomiao felt dumbfounded.
"I just love the rice cooked by Girl Yun. It tastes really good." Aunt Wang praised as she put it into her mouth.
Aunt Liu was not to be outdone. If the bowl hadn't been too small, she might have been able to pretend it was taller than her own face. "Who doesn't like eating razor clams? They taste really good."
"You guys who were reincarnated by starving ghosts, eat slowly, I can't even pick up the vegetables." Aunt Sun squeezed in several times before squeezing in. She searched the plate for a while, and all the juice in the plate got into her.
in the bowl.
Yun Miaomiao felt a headache as she looked at Dongqing, Qingyang Wangcheng and the others who were lingering outside and couldn't squeeze in. If it were him, he wouldn't be able to squeeze in either.
"Holly, come here." Yun Miaomiao was glad that she had saved a hand. Dongqing walked up to her with a bowl and said, "Madam, what's wrong?"
"There's food left for you in the kitchen, go and eat it."
Yun Miaomiao originally wanted to keep it for others to try, but I'm afraid she won't have to let others taste it now. Just a few people in the yard can spread the word about how delicious these razor clams are. Come when the time comes
People who go to the sea come to join in the fun just for this meal.
After finishing the meal, the plate was all bottomless, and there was no jellyfish soup left.
Aunt Wang burped and said, "Girl Yun, your craftsmanship is really amazing. Just for this meal, I picked up all kinds of seafood for you for free. This is the first time I have eaten so delicious."
As for the seafood, our family used to cook seafood, but it was all tasteless, so it’s not as delicious as what you make, it’s really amazing.”
"Uh~" Aunt Sun also nodded, "These razor clams taste really good. No wonder Yun Yatou asked us to pick them up hard. We don't have to dig hard. But if they are dried, they will taste as good as fresh ones, right?"
Yun Miaomiao nodded, "Dry it in the sun and use it to make soup. Once it's dried, you all can take some back and try it. I guarantee it will taste good."
"Come on, this job makes me feel happy both physically and mentally. After I eat, I still have some to take. From now on, as long as you, Miss Yun, call out, my Aunt Liu will be the first to come." Aunt Liu patted her chest, feeling happy.
said.
This is what Yun Miaomiao wants, "Then I'll thank all the aunties for coming over and helping me."
"It's easy to talk about."
Yun Miaomiao's reputation for delicious cooking spread again. Before Yun Miaomiao got up the next day, the yard outside was full of people, and one or two people came for the evening meal.
Yesterday's seafood was all taken out to dry. Dongqing saw that there were more and more people outside, so she quickly called Yun Miaomiao. When Yun Miaomiao saw people, she woke up from her drowsiness.
"Dongqing, am I right?" Yun Miaomiao rubbed her eyes, "Why are they here so early?"
It was just breakfast time at this time, and there were many children in the crowd.
Dongqing sighed and looked at Yun Miaomiao sadly, "Madam, your cooking is so delicious. Everyone in the village knows it. I didn't come here just for that meal, because I was afraid that I would fall behind and not catch up.
"
Yun Miaomiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's just a meal, so that's not enough."
It's not like they haven't eaten before, so that's not the case.
"As for, ma'am, don't you think about the food you cook? Every time these people pounce on you like hungry wolves, as if they haven't eaten for hundreds of years, no wonder they miss it." Dongqing said with a look on her face.
have no choice.
Yun Miaomiao also didn't expect that her food was so powerful, "In this way, there are many people coming today, and the people rushing to the sea don't need so many people. Only one third of the people, those with old arms and legs, will stay in the yard.
When handling the sea cargo, you watch them, Wang Cheng is responsible for bringing the picked up sea cargo back, Qingyang will go with me to catch the sea cargo."
Since there are more people, the division of labor must be clearly defined so that work can be efficient.
Dongqing looked at the crowd of people and said, "Madam is really good. She solved the problem in a few seconds. I will pick people right now. The young and strong ones will go to the beach, and those who are not strong enough will stay in the yard to work."
But those who are driving to the sea are still more fortunate. If the people sitting in the yard can get the same food, will those people have any objections?"
"If you have any objections, don't do it. Is it easy to sit in the yard?" Yun Miaomiao looked at him sideways, "You sit motionless on a stool and wash seafood. Do you think it will be an easy thing?"
