Meal Sweet Home: Farm Lady

Chapter 32 Sautéed Squid Tentacles

Qi Yuhao took Nanyan and others back to West Lake Village, and finally they bought the realgar wine that had been drying for 20 days.

"Yu Hao, just now that crooked surname Dai said that I was your second wife, what the hell is going on? Who is your first wife?" Along the way, Yu Ranyue was obsessed with this question and never let go.

Qi Yuhao didn't respond from the beginning to the end, just walking in the front with a jar of realgar wine.

The sensitive Yu Ranyue turned her head to look at Nan Yan with disdain.

"What are you looking at me for? I don't admit that it's his wife!" Nan Yan rolled her eyes at the menacing Yu Ranyue, and continued walking forward with another jug ​​of wine.

Seeing Yu Ranyue like that, Xiangmei, who was licking half a candied haws, felt both exasperated and funny.

"What are you laughing at? Could it be that you're a big house? Fuck you, you're just a country yellow-haired little girl, rustic, how can Yu Hao like you."

"I'm rustic? Why don't you say that you look like a fox? Haven't you heard of the [-]th female college change? You are jealous that I will be more beautiful than you in the future."

Because of this sentence, Xiangmei and Yu Ranyue started to scold each other.After all, Qi Yuhao is here, and it is impossible for the two of them to fight, that is, to live their mouthful.

Walking while noisy here can be regarded as a boring trip.I haven't felt tired yet, and I have already arrived at the entrance of West Lake Village.

As it is the season of transition from spring to summer, the daylight hours gradually lengthen.It's You time now, and half of the sun's head is still brightly red hanging on the top of the mountain.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the four people who were rushing back were all sweating and panting.

"Mom, we're back!" Seeing that she was almost home, Xiangmei ran to her door and called.

"I came back so early. My sister Yao and her father and three brothers have not come back from fishing. I don't know if I will come back today." Aunt Zhang said to Qi Yuhao and others, looking at the entrance of the village .

"I'll be back. Daddy and brothers don't come back for dinner during the holidays. Mother, you are more worried." Xiangmei comforted.

Qi Yuhao put a jar of realgar wine in his hand on the long table that Aunt Zhang had put together in the yard, and said with a smile, "No hurry, we also ate something in the street market, and we won't be hungry right now. Uncle Zhang and the others will have dinner when they come back."

Nan Yan nodded again and again, and conveniently put another jar of realgar wine on the long table, "Ms. Zhang, let me help you in the kitchen."

"No, no, they're all simple dishes. I hope Miss doesn't dislike them..." Aunt Zhang looked at Yu Ranyue thoughtfully, and said embarrassingly.

"Hmph, I'm tired, I'll go back to the house to rest for a while!" Yu Ranyue gave Aunt Zhang a blank look, then turned and walked towards the yard next door.

While talking, Uncle Zhang came back with his three sons and a lot of sea fish in his hand.

"Father, you are finally back." Aunt Zhang's face was full of smiles. My man went to sea for several days and finally came back. Could you be unhappy.

Uncle Zhang walked happily into the yard with his three sons, and handed the sea fish in his hand to Aunt Zhang and Xiangmei.

"Father, what is this? It doesn't look like a fish!" Aunt Zhang asked as she held up a bunch of tentacles, a blackened skin and a terrifying appearance.

Xiangmei glanced at it, and jumped back two steps in fright, "What is this, it looks too scary."

Uncle Zhang looked at Xiangmei's frightened look, and said, "I don't know what this is, it's the first time I caught it. It looks interesting, and I want to come back and dry it for Yaomeizi to play with. I didn't expect you to be so afraid of this thing. "

"Father, don't bring me all the outlandish things, I'm not selling rare treasures." Xiangmei complained.

"If you don't want it, just don't. Take it and throw it away." Uncle Zhang hurriedly took off the coat he had worn for several days.

"Don't, this is a good thing, it's a pity to throw it away!" Nan Yan stepped forward to take it from Aunt Zhang's hand, and looked it over carefully, "This is squid, it's delicious."

Seeing this thing now, Nan Yan was ecstatic.This squid was her favorite food in her previous life, and she often bought several skewers of squid on iron plates to eat when she went shopping.

"What kind of fish? How does this look like a fish? It's clearly a monster." Xiangmei hid far away, not daring to approach.

Qi Yuhao stood aside, quietly staring at the lively scene in the yard.

"Mei'er, do you believe that Sister Yan can make this monster delicious? Let me show you." Nan Yan said that she was about to go to the kitchen in her yard. After all, the seasoning in the kitchen was quite complete.

"Yanzi, is this food really edible?" Aunt Zhang asked suspiciously.

"It can be eaten, it can be eaten, it can definitely be eaten! Don't worry!" Nan Yan patted her chest and strode out.

Xiangmei and Aunt Zhang were busy in the kitchen here, Nan Yan was processing squid in the kitchen over there, and Qi Yuhao and Uncle Zhang were sitting at the long table in the yard chatting, which was quite pleasant.

After all, this squid is a seafood product with a strong fishy smell. The first thing to do is to remove the fishy smell.

Nan Yan started to work according to the production process reminded by the magic jade bracelet.

According to the instructions in the jade bracelet, she tore off the black skin of the squid bit by bit, soaked it in water and washed it, and then marinated the torn squid with a lot of salt for a short time.

Immediately afterwards, Nan Yan noticed that the water in the pot was boiling, so she put the short-term marinated squid into it, blanched it for a while, and found that the squid turned white and picked it up.

Nan Yan had already cut the squid before this, separated the squid body from the beard, and then cut the body into slices.

After the squid is blanched, pick it up and put it in cold water to continue running for a while, so as to maintain its taste.

The next step is to season the squid in clear water, put two tablespoons of bean paste (soy sauce), and a little sugar, pour it into the squid, and grasp it evenly.

Add a few slices of ginger, rice wine and pepper, and marinate for 15 minutes.

During this time, heat up the oil in the pan, add minced garlic and fresh red pepper and sauté until fragrant.

Because Nan Yan only knew that Qi Yuhao, Yu Ranyue and Xiangmei liked spicy food, but she didn't know if Aunt Zhang's family was used to spicy food, so she deliberately didn't make it too spicy so that everyone could eat it.

Finally, pour the marinated squid into the pot and stir-fry over high heat. The juice will be collected in one to two minutes.

The method of fried squid in this sauce is still very simple, mainly relying on pepper to remove the fishy smell.Thanks to Nan Yan's magical jade bracelet, otherwise where would I find this important seasoning.

Not to mention, the scent can travel far enough.Even Yu Ranyue, who was taking a nap in the house, smelled the fragrance, and walked out of the house to find the source.

"What are you making?" Yu Ranyue couldn't help but stepped forward and asked.

"Squid mustard fried in sauce." Nan Yan answered simply.

"What's the matter with the beard? Cut, I know how to play tricks all day long. I can't eat a bite of what you make, it's too bad." Yu Ranyue kept looking at the plate in Nan Yan's hand, her mouth was still stiff .

Nan Yan didn't bother to pay attention to her, she took the plate and prepared to go to the opposite yard, "It's up to you whether to eat or not, Aunt Zhang has also cooked a lot of dishes, you just eat what she cooks."

"What's your attitude?" Yu Ranyue followed angrily, and walked with her to the yard of Aunt Zhang's house next door.

Aunt Zhang has already prepared the meals for the Dragon Boat Festival, and several big pots of rice dumplings are the staple food.Uncle Zhang and Qi Yuhao had already filled their bowls with realgar wine and waited for everyone to sit around the table.

When Nanyan served the fried squid mustard with sauce, everyone's eyes were focused on the plate.

"This……"

"This……"

"Is this the big monster just now?" Xiangmei followed up what the two older brothers had left unspoken, and asked directly.

"That's right, it's called fried squid whiskers." Nan Yan introduced with a smile.

"It doesn't taste good just looking at it!" Yu Ranyue added untimely.

"It doesn't matter whether it tastes good or not, what matters is whether this thing... is poisonous?" Qi Yuhao said.

His worries were not unfounded. After all, except for Nan Yan, no one in these two families had ever seen so many strange sea creatures with so many legs.

Seeing that everyone was just curious, Nan Yan first picked up chopsticks and ate a piece of squid meat, chewing lightly.

"Well... I'm not boasting, the taste is really good. Let's see if I'm okay after eating it. If it's okay, everyone can eat it again." Nan Yan said.

Xiangmei saw that Nan Yan was chewing so deliciously, and the smell of that plate of squid always hit her nostrils, which made her drool and couldn't help but swallow it in her throat.

The second son of the Zhang family didn't have so many scruples. After Nan Yan swallowed a mouthful of squid, he also picked up a squid tendril with his chopsticks, "I believe in sister Yan, if she says she can eat it, she will definitely eat it."

As he spoke, he put the squid into his mouth and chewed it repeatedly.Suddenly, like an electric shock, the pupils dilated, and the whole person sat upright in good spirits.

"This, this, this is too delicious, right? I have never eaten such a delicious thing. Everyone, please try it!" The second son of the Zhang family was so delicious that he even stuttered.

"Is this monster really so delicious? I want to try it too!" Xiangmei couldn't bear the temptation of delicious food anymore, picked up the chopsticks in front of her and picked up a piece, "Mother, Dad, it's really delicious , it's delicious."

Before Xiangmei could swallow the squid, she couldn't help but praise it loudly.

As a result, everyone began to stretch out their chopsticks to pick up the squid without any scruples, as long as Yu Ranyue stood aside and watched.

"OMG, it's so delicious!"

"Delicious, delicious, I didn't expect the claw fish in the sea to be so delicious."

"Father, mother, you don't know. Sister Yan made a dish of boiled fish last time, and it was delicious! Next time, let Sister Yan make it for you to eat."

"Sister Yan is really good at crafting. How have we ever eaten such delicious food?"

The Zhang family ate and praised beautifully, the chopsticks couldn't stop at all.That Qi Yuhao still didn't say anything, just put his chopsticks into the plate again and again.

Yu Ranyue on the side seemed to be unable to sit still, and the airs she was holding were becoming less and less serious.

Nan Yan peeled off a rice dumpling and watched happily as everyone scrambled for the plate of fried squid whiskers.
