Chapter 203: Shredded Snails with Scallion Oil and Pork Sauce
"That's almost it! If it doesn't work, I'll have to go find Uncle Yong."
A Da glared at him and pretended to go find Grandpa Xu.
"Alright, alright, since he's my nephew, I won't bother with that. But you have to teach him a lesson when you get back. He's already so lawless..."
Xu Guining muttered to himself and left reluctantly.
Xu Yiyi was still a little confused. Is Grandpa Xu so prestigious?
"This bastard was kicked out of the house a few years ago. Your grandpa let him go as soon as the typhoon passed, but he has been refusing to leave. Plus, your grandma stopped him, so he is still staying on the island.
If he gets into trouble, your grandfather will definitely chase him away again, and if he brings up your grandfather's name, he will naturally avoid it."
Ada explained.
Xu nodded and took the children home.
"Sister, I didn't mean to shoot him. The first time I was really blown away by the wind. The second time I thought he was a thief, so I did that."
Sihai was timid and pulled Xu Yiyi's clothes to explain.
"Are you angry, big sister? Please don't be angry. For all the things my uncle did, I only shot him twice, which was easy for him."
Er'er came up to her elder sister and pleaded for Sihai.
"Yes, yes, big sister, please forgive Sihai."
Seeing Sihai's confused look, Sanchuan couldn't help but speak.
"Yi Yi, don't hit the child when you go back! If your brother does something wrong, just talk to him nicely, don't hurt him."
A Da walked in front and seeing Xu Yiyi with a stern face, he hurriedly tried to persuade her.
"Uncle, I can't do this either."
Xu Yiyi said helplessly and took the child into the house.
A Da listened outside for a while, and when he didn't hear the child crying, he left with peace of mind.
"Sister——"
Sihai lay behind his elder sister with some fear, his little eyes drifting over.
"Don't do it again! Next time when you practice archery, don't shoot anyone."
Xu Yiyi touched Sihai's little head. Fortunately, the arrowhead of Sihai's arrow was removed, otherwise Xu Guining would have died today.
"I'm good! I won't do this again next time."
When Sihai heard what his elder sister said, he immediately laughed out loud.
"Sister, let me help you light the fire."
The child carried a candle into the kitchen, and when Sanchuan went out, the fish and porridge were already cooked.
Xu Yiyi just cooked two more dishes.
On the stove, the charcoal fire in the clay stove was burning brightly, and its red tongue was licking the bottom of the pot.
The conchs and clams soaked in water for an hour, and after all the mud and sand were spit out, Xu Yiyi crushed the shells by hand with the handle of a knife.
In the wooden basin in front of him, broken snails piled up.
Xu Yiyi poured the crushed snails into the hot iron pot. The snail meat suddenly shrank back when it encountered the scorching heat, making a series of fine "puff" sounds.
Under the stirring of the bamboo shovel, the snail shell and snail meat rolled and jumped.
Soon, the initial freshness has turned into wisps of tempting sweetness, drifting away slowly.
As soon as the smell came out, Xu Yiyi quickly scooped the vegetable oil from the ceramic pot into the iron pot.
The cold oil touches the snails, and with a sizzling sound, the aroma explodes, rich and mellow, filling the entire kitchen in an instant.
"Big sister, big sister, this smells so good!"
As Sihai spoke, he moved closer and sniffed the fragrance like a puppy.
"Stand back a little, oil splashing in your face is no joke."
Xu Yiyi said sternly, and Sihaiyi dodged.
Then pour the chopped green onion whites and green onions into the pot.
When the green onions are put into the hot oil, they become lively in an instant, and the green onion segments quickly become crispy in the waves of oil.
Turn around, peel the roasted pork belly, chop it into small pieces, and sprinkle the meat into the pot.
The aroma of meat is instantly wrapped with the fragrance of snail meat. Pour in soy sauce, a spoonful of sea salt, a little icing sugar, and stir vigorously with a bamboo spatula.
The gravy seeped deep into the snail meat, and the soup in the pot gradually thickened and bubbled.
When I turned around, I saw a shiny unknown liquid hanging on Sihai's mouth.
Xu Yiyi put the snail meat into a plate. The snail meat was immersed in the oily and thick gravy. Each snail was plump and shiny, and it was delicious in color, aroma and taste.
"Sanchuan, give this to Yin and Grandma."
Xu Yiyi handed out the separated snail meat.
Er Er reached out and took it.
"Big sister Sanchuan is giving Wuyuan a bath. I'll take her over."
After saying that, Er'er ran out with a candle and a plate of snail meat.
"Are you still making razor clams, sister? If not, I'll put out the fire."
Sihai sat on a small stool, looking eagerly.
"I'll cook rice noodles for you tomorrow."
Xu Yiyi took a look and saw that the fish was very big and had a lot of snail meat.
I also steamed a large pot of clam steamed eggs.
If there were more dishes, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to finish them.
"Yeah! I can eat now."
Sihai raised his hands and shouted.
At the dinner table, several children took the lead in scooping up the conch with spoons.
"Bah bah bah..."
A Yue spat out the food in her mouth in grievance.
Er Er Sanchuan Sihai also found it difficult to eat.
“It’s so stinging and hard to eat!”
Sihai said this with disdain as he carefully picked out the snail shells from the plate with chopsticks.
In this way, only the snail meat is coated with gravy.
Just scoop a spoonful and spread it on the porridge, it’s so delicious.
"Sister, this is also delicious on rice noodles."
Sanchuan was happy with the meal and shook his head slightly with Sihai.
"We can also buy them at restaurants. When we cook them, we can skim off the shells and let the gravy soak into the rice noodles, making them even more delicious."
Mikawa suggested.
"Sure! I'll ask the aunt on the island to buy this conch tomorrow."
There are very few people going to the mudflats in the south, and there are a lot of different kinds of conchs there.
……
After eating and drinking, Xu Yiyi coaxed the children at home to sleep, and ran out under the cover of night.
In the old house, Xu Guining got up and went to the toilet, covering his red and swollen head.
Xu Yiyi took advantage of this opportunity to put the man in a sack.
He clenched his fist and threw it out, and Xu Guining immediately lost consciousness.
Just after putting the person down, Xu Yiyi noticed someone watching him from behind.
Looking back, I saw Grandpa Xu standing silently behind me.
He watched coldly as Xu Yiyi knocked Xu Guining down.
"you--"
Xu Yiyi spoke tentatively, and Grandpa Xu folded his arms across his chest.
"I was just passing by."
Grandpa Xu said this and walked past Xu Yiyi into the toilet.
She was a little dumbfounded and opened the sack.
It is certain that it is Xu Guining, but the problem is.
Grandpa Xu just watched her knock his son down without doing anything.
How come this is a bit magical?
Xu Yiyi was completely confused.
"Take it easy, don't get beaten to death, or you'll be in trouble."
Grandpa Xu came out of the toilet and gave Xu Yiyi an inexplicable reminder when he passed by her.
After seeing Xu Yiyi's shocked expression, Grandpa Xu sneered.
He himself was quite shocked.
I never expected that my eldest granddaughter would be so brave.
He actually dared to put a sack on someone in the middle of the night.
You know what, this personality is quite similar to his.
He holds a grudge very well.
The same small mind.
