The house is ancient, and was taken home by a rough man and spoiled

Chapter 181 Crayfish

Crayfish, it’s crayfish.

Isn’t that thing that’s trying to climb up with its claws raised the crayfish that’s popular in the night market?

"Mother, look, these are crawling out of our village pond. There are so many of them. They look really strange. Can they be fed to piglets?"

Xiao Yunyi picked up a crayfish and looked at its claws carefully.

"Be careful, brother. Its pincers can sting you. It hurts."

Xiao Yue'er felt nervous when she saw this.

The two of them had gone out to look around and dig some grass for the piglets to eat, but they saw a few friends looking for these ugly guys by the pond.

There are a lot of these things, and they are quite interesting, so I just wanted to see if the pigs would eat them.

My mother said that pigs are omnivores and eat everything.

"This is crayfish. Be good. We'll have something delicious tonight."

Su Wanwan was very happy. She missed the spicy crayfish so much.

"What? Mother, we can eat this ugly thing."

The two little guys exclaimed at the same time.

They were caught to feed the pigs.

"Yes, it's edible. Come on, let's take mom to have a look and catch some more."

Su Wanwan was carrying the bucket and was about to walk out with the two little ones, and Shen Yuan immediately followed with his crutches.

"I'll follow you. The pond is too dangerous."

Shen Yuan's family brought back a large bucket of ugly shrimps from the pond, but it did not attract any attention.

They had all seen these ugly shrimps before. There used to be a lot of them in the river. Their shells were very hard and could not be eaten. They would chop them up after they caught them and feed them to the chickens.

Everyone thought that Shen Yuan's family caught that thing to feed the pigs, and they never imagined that they would eat it themselves.

Crayfish are difficult to handle, so Su Wanwan took two toothbrushes from the space, filled a large tank with water, and asked Shen Yuan and several children to scrub the crayfish clean.

Then he took out a pair of scissors and cut off the dragon's whiskers and calves, and then cut off the small triangle on the head.

The next step was to remove the shrimp thread. It took half an hour to complete all of this.

"Mom, eating this ugly thing, how much water must be wasted, luckily your mom has water."

Shen Yuan sighed with a few little guys, and Shen Zhao nodded first:

"Well, this drought is also thanks to my sister-in-law, otherwise the people in the village would not have such a good life now."

Compared with other villages, their village is like a paradise.

Even though his brother and sister-in-law didn't say anything, he knew that the water in the pond must have been filled by his sister-in-law.

If there was no pond water, how long would the little water stored in each household last?

My sister-in-law did such a good thing, but she can't tell anyone, otherwise she will be regarded as a monster.

Shen Yuan glanced at his younger brother silently.

Shen Yuan's younger brother and he have completely different personalities. Shen Yuan is careless and a rough guy, while Shen Zhao is meticulous and has good vision, especially in schoolwork. He has observed him and thinks he is a good candidate.

Now that he has taken over Shen Yuan's identity, he will definitely train Shen Zhao well.

"I don't know if this ugly shrimp is delicious or not. It's all hard shells. How can I eat it?"

Xiao Yunyi looked at the cleaned crayfish with a little doubt.

"Stupid, mom said this is called crayfish, mom said it's delicious, it must be delicious."

While they were talking, Su Wanwan had prepared all the ingredients.

She planned to make two pots, one spicy and one garlic flavor.

There are ready-made hot pot base and bean paste in the space. You just need to add some spices and minced garlic.

First fry the crayfish in a pan and then you can stir-fry it.

She thinks crayfish is the easiest to cook. After the base ingredients are fried, put the crayfish in and stir-fry. Then add some boiling water and cook it for a while, and then collect the sauce.

Before it was even done, the overbearing fragrance had already spread throughout the courtyard.

Xiao Yunyi was so greedy that he almost saw through the bottom of the pot.

Eating crayfish alone would definitely not fill you up, so Su Wanwan got some corn cobs, cut them into pieces, and cooked them together in the soup.

She had never seen corn in crayfish in her previous life, but she thought it should be good. Corn soaked in soup would taste even better.

Two large pots full of crayfish were taken out of the pot and two basins were placed on the table.

"Red. Crayfish is this red when cooked."

Xiao Yue'er was surprised.

Others also became excited after smelling the fragrance.

Su Wanwan didn't care and just grabbed the food and taught them how to eat it.

Everyone started eating, and they couldn’t stop.

"I didn't expect these ugly shrimps to be so delicious. Last time I caught a lot of fish, but I threw them all away."

Shen Zhao felt very sorry when he thought of those shrimps that were thrown away.

This tastes much better than fish.

Su Wanwan also felt heartbroken.

The last time they went fishing, because of Liu Chunmei's incident, she and Shen Yuan came back early and didn't even know there were crayfish in the river.

Well, she should have thought of it earlier.

Summer is the season for crayfish.

"It's okay. Next time you want to eat it, we can catch it again."

Shen Yuan also fell in love with the taste of crayfish, especially the spicy crayfish, which was so flavorful.

The whole family ate to their heart's content and finished everything, not even a grain of corn was left.

Speaking of corn, Su Wanwan thought for a moment and asked Shen Yuan:

"The sweet potatoes and corn in the space will be harvested in two days. Do we have to grind the flour ourselves?"

Su Wanwan has been here for so long, but has never seen how flour is ground in this era.

Shen Yuan nodded: "There is a stone mill at the entrance of the village, and everyone goes there to grind their own grains."

After he said that, Su Wanwan thought about it and it seemed that it really existed. It was that kind of big round stone that was pushed by people or pulled by livestock to press the grain into powder, and then sift it with a basket.

She also wanted to process the corn, but it was too difficult to do so using this stone mill.

However, modern flour-grinding machines all run on electricity and cannot be manufactured.

To be honest, even if she could travel back and forth now, she couldn't get a flour mill to use.

It's really outrageous. In ancient times, if you dared to come up with those weird high-tech things, you would be seeking death.

Those high-tech things were obviously impossible to make in ancient times. It would be strange if others didn't treat you as a ghost. They might even capture you to study you and torture you. If you fall into the hands of the nobles, you will be dead.

Now she just wants to survive and make some things that can be made with the current level of productivity so as not to arouse suspicion.

These things can be promoted without arousing suspicion, which can be considered a benefit to the people.

And those high-tech things you brought with you, even if you brought one or two, will not only expose yourself but also prevent them from falling into the hands of ordinary people.

What is she thinking? She can't go back, and she has to use high technology. This is not a brainless and cool story.

Su Wanwan blocked out these messy thoughts and frowned.

This type of stone mill has been around for thousands of years. How can it be transformed?

She remembered that there seemed to be a method of using water mill in "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature", using water power to drive the millstone.

It's a pity that there is no water in the river now, but she can draw it first to study it, and draw the hydraulic irrigation as well.

When Shen Yuan saw her expression, he knew what new idea she had come up with.

He couldn't help but shake his head slightly. The young wife was so amazing. I was afraid that she would be famous all over the world in no time.
