Chapter 36 Treat everyone to a seafood dinner
Shen Ye Ning changed her clothes as soon as she got home to make cooking easier.
Lu Zhengxiao carried all the seafood into the kitchen and said, "Wife, you've been tired all morning. Let me cook."
Shen Ye Ning rested on the sofa for a while, and then went into the kitchen. "Let me do it. Xiao Wu and his friends helped me pick up a lot of sandworms and sea cucumbers at the beach today. I invited Xiao Wu and his friends to have lunch at noon. I want to treat them to a big meal. I will be the chef, and you can help me clean the crayfish and cut the big ones into pieces for easy eating."
"I just greeted Sister Jinglan and asked her to come down for dinner later. Or, we can also invite Political Commissar Li and the sisters-in-law to come and eat with us. They invited us last time and we haven't returned the gift yet. There are also Comrade Zhou and Comrade Zhao. Let's see if they have eaten. If not, let them come and eat with us."
Lu Zhengxiao, "Okay, I'll go right away."
Shen Ye Ning quickly prepared all the ingredients.
Planning to make braised cod.
Hit the codfish's head with a knife to kill it, remove the scales and clean it, cut it from the middle of its belly, be careful not to cut through the fish gallbladder, so as not to affect the taste of the fish meat. Put on gloves, take out all the internal organs in the fish belly with your hands, rinse it with water, tear off the black film, and marinate...
Wait for fifteen minutes, wash the cod and drain the water, fry until both sides are slightly yellow, add scallion, ginger and light soy sauce, fry for another minute or two, then pour in clean water and simmer for about 7 minutes, and serve after the sauce is absorbed.
The second dish is spicy crayfish, which is made slightly spicy considering that there are children.
Prepare spices, including peppercorns, Sichuan peppercorns, dried chili segments, onions, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, star anise, bay leaves, cardamom, cumin, etc.
Pour more oil into the pan than usual for cooking, heat over medium-low heat, add in spices and stir-fry until fragrant.
Add Lao Gan Ma, oyster sauce, bean paste and other seasonings, stir-fry until the oil turns red, then add the crayfish and stir-fry quickly, add salt, light soy sauce, white wine and rock sugar, and continue to stir-fry.
Pour enough beer to cover the crawfish, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over medium heat for approx. 15 min.
Two minutes before serving, add the remaining green pepper segments, onion segments and cucumber strips, turn to high heat and stir-fry quickly.
Sprinkle with chives and coriander to add aroma and serve.
The third dish is sandworm, sea cucumber and vermicelli soup.
Add the processed sandworms, washed sea cucumbers, lean meat strips, day lily and other ingredients into the soup and cook. Finally, add the soaked vermicelli, season and serve.
To make another steamed oyster dish, put the oysters into the steamer, add ginger slices, scallions, etc. to remove the fishy smell, and steam over high heat for about 5-10 minutes until the oyster shells open.
Mantis shrimp is also steamed directly.
Oysters and mantis shrimps have no taste yet, so make a seafood sauce. Mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, crab claws, sugar and cooking wine, add chopped garlic, ginger and chili, bring to a boil and serve.
Just stir-fry a few side dishes and it will be enough to eat.
After Lu Zhengxiao called people to help process the crayfish and prepare the ingredients, he immediately went to the store to buy a box of frozen soda and beer.
Political Commissar Li and Lin Chunmei arrived the fastest and went into the kitchen to help serve the dishes.
After a while, Xiao Wu and his friends came.
They met Lu Zhengxiao at the entrance of the convenience store.
When Commander Zheng learned that he was coming to Lu Zhengxiao's house for dinner, he gave him money and asked him to buy some soda.
Lu Zhengxiao had already bought the things so he didn't let them buy any more. He also gave each of them a bottle of soda, which they drank as they walked over.
Lu Jinglan brought He Wenbin downstairs.
Zhou Huaijin and Zhao Yongcheng made an appointment to come together.
Shen Ye Ning brought out the soup and placed it on the table. "Everyone is here, right? We only have one last dish left. Everyone, sit down and eat while it's hot."
Lu Zhengxiao was copying the last dish. He brought it out and everyone waited for him to come before starting to eat.
Zhou Huaijin, "Just looking at it makes people drool."
Lin Chunmei said, "Exactly. The presentation of your dishes is comparable to that of a chef from a state-owned restaurant. I didn't expect you to have such great cooking skills at such a young age. I've been cooking for decades but I can't even cook half as well as you. No, I should say I can't even cook one-tenth as well as you."
Lu Jinglan also said, "Sister, I have been cooking for decades, but the food is barely edible, not even delicious. Cooking really depends on talent."
Shen Ye Ning smiled and said, "You are too modest. Come and try it to see if it tastes good."
Zhao Yongcheng said, "With my sister-in-law's cooking skills, she would be wasted as a chef. The team leader is in for a treat."
Political Commissar Li urged people to get married online, "It's time for both of you to get married."
Zhou Huaijin said with a playful smile, "Political Commissar Li, we are all waiting for you to introduce someone. The requirements are not high. Just look and cook half as good as my sister-in-law."
"You kid, isn't that too much to ask? A toad wants to eat swan meat."
"Political Commissar, although we are not as handsome and outstanding as the regiment commander, we are not toads. This is too discouraging. Let's have a drink as punishment." Zhou Huaijin picked up the bottle and poured him a glass.
"Okay, I'll drink it. Let me make it clear first. I'll introduce it to you guys later. You can't refuse me anymore."
Zhao Yongcheng immediately said, "I don't need a political commissar anymore. I'm going home for a blind date in a couple of days. You can introduce someone to Lao Zhou."
Before Political Commissar Li could speak, Zhou Huaijin immediately changed the subject, "When do the regiment commander and his wife plan to hold their wedding banquet?"
Lu Zhengxiao said, "It will be soon. I will go back to Yangcheng the day after tomorrow to propose marriage. If everything goes well, we will go to get the marriage certificate the next day."
……
Shen Ye Ning sat among a few friends, worried that they would not be able to pick up the food or would choke.
Xiao Wu opened an oyster, dipped it in the sauce, put it in his mouth and chewed it for a few times. His black little eyes rolled around, and then he nodded repeatedly.
"It's delicious, so delicious, sister. I will come to your house for dinner every day from now on. I will ask my grandfather to give you food money."
Political Commissar Li teased him, "Hahaha, you only know how to eat. If you come to Uncle Lu's house to eat, your grandfather will have no one to accompany him. You are such a heartless boy. If your grandfather hears, he will be sad again."
"Then I will eat with Grandpa once a day, and come over for the other two meals."
"Little devil."
Xiao Wu, "Grandpa Li, you don't need to praise me. I know I have been smart since I was young, haha."
His friends also laughed out loud, "Hahaha!"
……
Everyone enjoyed the meal very much, except He Wenbin, who felt uncomfortable and uncomfortable because the other party was his ex-fiancee.
If I had married Shen Ye Ning at that time, I would be the one benefiting from it today.
While eating and chatting, 8 adults and 5 children cleared away all the delicious food on the table.
Xiao Wu and his friends leaned on the sofa, rubbed their round bellies and burped, "Burp!"
Xiao Wu smiled sheepishly, "Hey, my sister's cooking is so delicious."
"You drank three bottles of soda. You drank too much soda."
"The crayfish juice is a little spicy, and my mouth still feels spicy, whoosh." Xiao Wu and his friends fanned their mouths with their little hands.
Shen Ye Ning suggested that they rinse their mouths with cold water.
After everyone left, Shen Ye Ning and Lu Zheng Xiao cleaned up the table.
