A small breakfast shop in the street market, supporting the family and making money

Chapter 112 Crayfish

There were outsiders present just now, and her daughter said she wanted to buy it. Zhang Cuiniang couldn't bear to reject her daughter's decision, so she kept her doubts to herself.

"Mother, of course it's true!"

Leng Yan gave an affirmative answer and immediately asked several aunts to start cleaning the crayfish.

When everyone saw the crayfish with its claws and fangs bared, they were a little at a loss as to where to start. Leng Yan demonstrated to them one by one, scrubbing, cleaning, and removing the shrimp thread, all in one smooth move.

Seeing that Leng Yan had cleaned up the things in an efficient manner, they gradually put aside their fears and tried to help little by little.

When faced with things like insects, they are naturally resistant and don't dare to try to eat them.

But seeing this, Leng Yan kept busy with his hands and described the deliciousness of crayfish vividly, making them swallow their saliva in greed.

Especially when you see Leng Yan quickly and skillfully put the cleaned crayfish into the oil pan and fry them, the aroma and bright red color that waft out are so tempting.

Until this moment, the fragrance seemed to be tangible, and they couldn't help but dispel their doubts about whether the red worms were edible.

There are more than 20 kilograms of crayfish. Leng Yan is going to make one with spicy flavor and one with garlic flavor. The quantity is not much and he doesn't plan to sell them today. He will just give them as a snack to the people in the shop.

When making spicy crayfish, Leng Yan would stir-fry chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns in a frying pan, then add the fried crayfish and seasonings, stir-fry until fragrant, and then add some rice wine and water to stew.

While the food was simmering, she also cut some potatoes and cucumbers to cook together to make it more flavorful.

The method of preparing garlic crayfish is similar. After taking both kinds of crayfish out of the pot and serving them on a plate, the overbearing aroma wafting out is simply shocking.

"Oh my god, this smells so good. I never thought that this red worm would smell so good!"

Zhang Cui Niang watched the whole process. If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that the insect with its fangs and claws bared could be so fragrant.

"My daughter is really amazing. She can make red worms that no one eats so delicious."

"Yes, yes, yes, our daughter is amazing. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also really good at cooking."

Leng Xun also looked very proud, and he couldn't hide his proud smile.

"Yes, yes. Apart from other things, the soup and the flavorful potatoes and cucumbers are all very delicious. They must go well with rice."

Leng Su kept swallowing her saliva, and her words reminded Leng Yan that after eating the crayfish, the remaining soup could be used to mix noodles.

She immediately worked with her mother to knead the dough, roll out the noodles, and cook a pot of hand-rolled noodles.

By the time they were done, it was almost time for dinner.

Several large pots of crayfish were brought to the table, accompanied by a few fried dishes, and the staple food was paired with hand-rolled noodles. A hearty and delicious lunch was ready.

"Stop looking at me and take a seat."

Zhang Cuiniang called upon the somewhat reserved aunts and servants to sit down.

Everyone looked at the pots of fragrant and tempting crayfish and were very greedy, but they didn't know where to start.

"It smells really good, but can you really eat this red worm?"

Everyone was whispering and some were afraid to pick up their chopsticks.

"Yeah, after all, we've never eaten it before."

"Sister Yan, how do you eat this?"

Aunt Liu was the first to suggest trying it, and others also looked over her shoulder.

"Yes, the shell has been fried in oil, can we eat it together?"

Everyone asked questions at once, and Leng Yan demonstrated the process of peeling shrimps and eating the meat, which made them very curious.

The meat is firm, flavorful and chewy, and very delicious.

Seeing how happily she was eating, everyone's doubts instantly disappeared. They could no longer hold back and began to peel the shell and eat the meat in an unskilled manner.

But after you put the shrimp in your mouth, the long-awaited taste is even better because you feel like you have done it yourself.

"It's delicious. Is it really delicious?"

"Yes, it's fragrant, spicy and numbing. The more you eat, the more you can't stop."

"Yes, yes, this garlic flavored one is also delicious. The garlic flavor is so strong and fragrant. It smells so good!"

Everyone ate voraciously, and no one said a word while they ate.

There were so many of them that the more than 20 kilograms of crayfish were eaten up in minutes.

Everyone was still hungry for food, so Leng Yan mixed the freshly cooked hand-rolled noodles into the crayfish soup and then ate them out.

The chewy noodles, dipped in rich soup, are so delicious that you can't help but squint your eyes when you take a bite.

"It's delicious! The noodles dipped in this soup are really delicious!"

"Yeah, I feel so satisfied after eating. I haven't eaten this full in a long time. I feel so happy."

Daqiang and the other two rubbed their stomachs, looking very satisfied.

"Who says it's not true? The boss's cooking skills are really good. We couldn't even imagine such delicious food before."

"Yes, the boss is so good to us, he just bought us back and gave us new clothes to wear and such delicious meals.

Just for these reasons, we have to follow our boss carefully in the future..."

Daqiang, Erqiang and Sanqiang were conquered by the delicious food of Leng family and made up their minds silently.

After the meal, people in the shop took a short break and then started to prepare for the lunch market.

After preparing all the ingredients for the various rice bowls for lunch, Leng Yan thought of the hand-rolled noodles he had just made.

I thought that if the shop added a series of noodles with toppings in addition to the rice series, it would probably be very popular.

All kinds of toppings are prepared in advance, such as scrambled eggs with peppers, shredded pork with green peppers, minced meat with tofu, Kung Pao chicken, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, etc. Just thinking about it makes you drool.

And the method is also simple. Just put the cooked noodles with various toppings, mix them, and add a clove of garlic. The taste is so delicious that it will kill you.

When the guests who came for lunch heard that there was noodles with toppings today, they were all attracted to it.

"I'm tired of eating rice with toppings, so give me some noodles with green pepper and shredded pork. I want to try it."

"Yeah, yeah, I'll have a bowl of noodles too. What's this Kung Pao Chicken? This is the first time I've heard of it, so give me this."

Based on the trust in the taste of Leng's noodles, as soon as they were launched, people came to eat them in an endless stream, and the business has never stopped.

Even classmates like Sheng Yuxing and Xiao Pingyue, who had just finished school and came to Leng's snack shop for lunch, ordered some to try after hearing about it.

"Yeah, it's delicious. The noodles are soft, smooth, and chewy. Paired with the spicy green pepper and shredded pork noodles, you can't stop eating. It tastes so good!"

"Yes, yes, when it comes to the taste of food, you have to trust the taste of the Leng family."

"Who says it's not? This is the first time I've heard of Kung Pao Chicken. It tastes really good."

Several classmates also praised the food while eating, and felt that Leng’s snack shop was like their second cafeteria.
