Chapter 304 Brought back something different!
It’s indeed a little too late today, so I decided to make the sand crab sauce tomorrow.
The next morning, Zhou Xing got up very early and arrived at the farmhouse at daybreak.
Zhou Yue also wanted to see the production process of sand crab sauce, so she came along as well.
Zhou Yue originally thought that the process of making sand crab sauce would be very troublesome.
Unexpectedly, it was quite simple. Zhou Yue learned it after watching it once.
Sisters Chunyan and Chunxia moved the sand crabs they caught yesterday to the yard.
"This sand crab is very sandy. We need to clean it."
Pour well water into a large basin, then stir it with your hands to wash off the sand on the sand crabs.
After cleaning the sand off the sand crab, we come to the most laborious step of the day.
Wang Chunyan held a sand crab in her hand, pried open its abdomen with her hands, and then pulled out the intestines in its stomach.
"This intestine is very dirty. It has to be removed and cannot be kept."
These sand crabs are very small and there are so many of them, so this step is quite troublesome.
However, Sister Chunyan and Sister Chunxia are both veterans in this field, and their hand speed is incredibly fast.
After all the dirt is sucked out of the sand crab's stomach, it is time to crush it.
Sister Chunyan took out a few rolling pins from the kitchen and stuffed them into Zhou Yue and Zhou Xing's hands.
"Let's use some force and smash it into pieces."
This whole basin full of sand crabs was smashed to pieces like this. To be honest, it looked a bit cruel.
But after it’s done, it’s not cruel, it’s tempting!
There is strength in numbers, and the whole basin full of sand crabs was quickly crushed.
Sister Chunxia took a big jar from the kitchen, which was full of coarse salt.
"Wow! That's a lot of salt!"
When his younger brother Zhou Xing saw the big jar full of salt, he exclaimed in surprise.
He was born in poverty, and his life became even more difficult during the Long March.
Zhou Xing has experienced the pain of long-term salt shortage, so he naturally understands how precious and rare salt is.
Wang Chunyan saw Zhou Xing staring blankly at the big jar of salt and knew what he was sighing about.
In this era, many areas are generally short of salt, but because we are on the coast, the situation is much better here.
"When I have time in a few days, I will take you to the salt factory in our village. The salt we eat is made there!"
Zhou Xing nodded, obviously very interested in drying salt.
"Okay! Sister Chunyan!"
This sand crab sauce really requires a lot of salt, and one pound of sand crab requires seven ounces of salt.
Sister Chunyan poured the salt from the jar into the basin, and Zhou Xing felt a little distressed when he saw it.
There is no way to make a good sand crab sauce without using so much salt.
First of all, it tastes better when more salt is added, but if there is less salt, without a high-salt environment, the prepared sauce will easily deteriorate.
Then add appropriate amount of boiled water and stir well.
After mixing it evenly, it looked really terrible.
It looks like a big basin of sewage, which makes people lose their appetite.
However, after fermenting these in jars, you can taste their unique flavor.
After making the sand crab sauce, the group continued to go to the beach.
Zhou Xing went out to sea with everyone, and Zhou Yue followed Sister Chunyan and the others to catch seafood at the beach.
There were a lot of snails on the beach today, and Zhou Yue was having a lot of fun picking them up.
These snails are quite big. In a restaurant, a plate of blanched snails costs dozens of dollars.
Here, you can just pick up the trash as if it’s free. Zhou Yue didn’t spend much effort and had already picked up half a basket.
Just when Zhou Yue was getting excited about picking up the trash, a small boat suddenly came back, and this time it brought back something different!
