Chapter 250: Marinated Shrimp

Zheng Sisi: "Yeah! I didn't expect you to have collected so many."

Aunt Hua said embarrassedly: "I saw that every time the peppers were put in, they were cut open and the seeds fell out. The chef didn't want the seeds either. I saw that they were precious things, so I put them all away and put them in a cloth bag, but I definitely didn't take them home because I didn't know that they could be planted."

Zheng Sisi believed her because there really weren't many. She said, "It's okay. I believe in you. You can collect them in the future and plant some peppers later. If you can't eat all the peppers after they grow, you can sell them to me. I will recycle them all."

Several aunts held hands happily. Aunt Niu said, "County Lady, you are really our God of Wealth. Since you came, the people in our village have made so much money. This is something we never dared to imagine before. Even if we thought about it, it was only in our dreams."

Aunt Gui said, "County Lady, we can really take it back and plant it."

Zheng Sisi nodded affirmatively.

Aunt Hua said, "We'll each have a portion tonight, and we must serve these peppers well in the future."

Several people nodded in agreement at the same time.

Zheng Sisi said, "I'm going to make a braised red lobster dish tonight. Let me see how much marinade is left. I'll write an order and ask Manager Gao to buy the marinade. I'm also going to make a garlic-sauce red lobster dish. Do we have enough garlic in the kitchen?"

The chef replied, "There are several kilograms of garlic seeds. We don't use them very often."

Zheng Sisi said, "Don't worry, we will use a lot of garlic in the future. Everyone should peel the garlic and chop it up for later use."

Several aunts and chefs started to work. Zheng Sisi checked the ingredients and found that there were not many herbs left, so she wrote down a series of herbs on paper and asked Manager Gao to buy them.

The marinade for braised red crayfish requires much more medicinal ingredients than that for braised pork offal. I don’t know if some medicine shops have them. In any case, Zheng Sisi has written them down. If they don’t have them, it doesn’t matter if one or two less herbs are used. No one knows what authentic braised shrimp tastes like anyway.

The red lobsters prepared at noon have been used up, and now they need to be shelled and cleaned again. Zheng Sisi arranged to shell and clean half of the remaining red lobsters, and clean the other half with the shells. The shelled ones can be used to make marinated shrimps.

Seeing that they were all busy, Zheng Sisi collected the peeled garlic seeds, washed them, and started chopping them on the chopping board.

Suddenly, the sound of "ding ding ding ding ding" was heard in the kitchen.

After all the items were prepared, Zheng Sisi first taught the chefs how to make braised shrimps. She used a large pot and put half a pot of water in it. She put the bought marinade into a cloth bag, threw it into the pot and boiled it over high heat. The marinade had to be rich and fragrant so that the red crayfish could absorb the flavor.

While he was cooking the brine, Zheng Sisi fried the cleaned red crayfish and drained the oil for later use.

It takes time to cook the brine, so Zheng Sisi moved a stool and chatted with a few aunts to pass the time.

As time passed, the marinade had become very fragrant. Zheng Sisi scooped a spoonful of it and poured it down from a high place. She was satisfied with the quality of the marinade.

Zheng Sisi said: "This pot of brine is good. As long as the quality and saltiness of the brine are good, it can be used for several days. If the brine is not used for one day, it should be boiled over fire. It can be boiled twice a day to avoid the brine going bad and being unusable.

If customers order braised shrimps, you can use a small pot or directly in a large pot, put the red crayfish into the pot and cook them. After the brine boils for half a cup of tea, it will be enough. Then you can take them out and put them on a plate.

Come, try it yourself and make some marinated shrimp for us to try."

The chef said, "Okay, County Lady, I'll make one for you to taste and see if I've controlled the heat well."
