The Local Lazy Man System

Wenhai Stationery Store is the largest stationery store in Yangping County. Today, Ye Rongrong came here to buy some painting tools.

Ye Rongyao, who is now a master-level painter, can't wait to see how his paintings look.

For drawing, especially sketching, pencils are very important. Generally, the 2H-4B model is chosen. The model is too light or too heavy for sketching. The eraser should be softer 4B.

Then there are colored pencils, drawing paper, an 8-size drawing board, an easel, a large clip for drawing paper, water pens, watercolors, palettes, paints and other tools for painting Western paintings.

Of course, Ye Rongrong also bought some tools for painting Chinese paintings. The tools for painting Chinese paintings are much simpler, just a brush and paint.

I have to say that the tools for painting are very expensive now, but Ye Rongrong actually spent more than 1,000 yuan to buy this set.

No wonder, many families from ordinary backgrounds now have children from all over the world because their children study art and music. It is really too expensive to learn these. Not only do these tools cost money, but it is even more expensive to ask teachers to train them. Hundred bucks an hour.

After buying these painting tools, Ye Rongyao went to the vegetable market in the county town to buy two live big swimming crabs. Now that the end of the year, the value of the swimming crabs has also risen. I couldn't afford it at all, so I bought two and burned them on New Year's Eve.

Pool crab, commonly known as 'white crab' in some places. Because the head and breastplate is in the shape of a shuttle, it is called a shuttle. There are three protrusions in the center of the carapace, so it is also called 'three wart swimming crab', which belongs to arthropods.

The male umbilicus is pointed and smooth, the claws are long, and the shell surface is blue;

The swimming crab meat is fat and delicious, has high nutritional value and economic value, and is suitable for temporarily raising fat in seawater. Carapace fusiform. The width is almost twice the length; the surface of the carapace is covered with fine particles.

With 2 grain transverse embankments and 3 verrucous protrusions; 2 sharp teeth on the forehead, 9 sharp teeth on the front side edge, the last teeth are spiny, protruding outwards.

Claw feet stout. The length is wider than the carapace, the long section is prismatic, the male long section is slender, and the front edge has 4 sharp spines.

After buying two fat swimming crabs, Ye Rongyao drove the electric tricycle directly home.

"Husband. How do you buy these things?" Liu Qingqing asked, looking at the drawing board on the electric tricycle with some doubts.

"Of course it's painting,

Wife then, let's eat crab today. "Ye Rongyao handed the bag with two big swimming crabs to Liu Qingqing and said.

"Husband, can you draw?"

Liu Qingqing asked suspiciously. Liu Qingqing knows that his man has a lot of skills now, but Liu Qingqing has never seen this painting, nor has he heard that his man can paint.

"Of course, I'll draw a portrait for you tomorrow." Ye Rongrong said with a smile.

"Um."

Liu Qingqing replied that Liu Qingqing also wanted to know how well his man's painting was, whether it was the same as his cooking skills. Let yourself be amazed.

"Husband, I'll help you bring these things to the piano room, which will be the piano room and our family's studio in the future." Liu Qingqing said.

"Then leave it to you. Give me the swimming crab. This thing is very fierce. It will die if you bite it. I'll deal with it."

Ye Rongrong took the bag in Liu Qingqing's hand and said. The claws of this swimming crab are very powerful. If he really bites the finger of his wife, who is thin and tender, Ye Rongrong will feel distressed.

So after thinking about it, Ye Rongrong felt that it was better to deal with these two big swimming crabs by himself. His skin is thick, even if these two big swimming crabs bite and bite off its pincers, they can't hurt himself in the slightest.

"Um."

Liu Qingqing nodded. He handed over the swimming crab in the bag to Ye Rongyao. Seriously, Liu Qingqing, who had never made a swimming crab by himself, was really scared when he looked at the pair of fat claws of the swimming crab.

"Wife, how about we eat swimming crab fried rice cakes at noon." Ye Rongrong asked.

New Year approached. There are many households in the village who make rice cakes, that is, hand-made rice cakes. This kind of rice cakes are characterized by a refreshing taste.

A few days ago, Ye Rongfa's daughter-in-law sent over a dozen rice cakes made by her own family to Ye Rongyao. Ye Rongrong had not eaten rice cakes in a year, so she couldn't help but feel a little greedy.

Nian Gao is a traditional Chinese food. It is steamed with sticky glutinous rice or rice flour. It is a seasonal food for Chinese New Year.

During the Spring Festival, many regions in China pay attention to eating rice cakes. Rice cakes have three colors of red, yellow and white, symbolizing gold and silver. Rice cakes are also called 'nian niang cakes', which are homophonic with 'nianniangao', which means that people's work and life are improving year by year.

Therefore, the predecessors have a poem called rice cakes: "The meaning of rice cakes is a little deep, white like silver and yellow like gold. Years look forward to high times and favorable times, and sincerely wish for wealth to come."

...

Ye Rongrong carried the swimming crab and walked directly to the kitchen in the backyard, took out a washbasin for kitchen, filled half of the washbasin with water, and poured the two fat swimming crabs in the bag into the washbasin.

These two swimming crabs were specially selected by Ye Rongyao, and they are definitely the best swimming crabs with fat meat.

The selection of a good swimming crab is very particular. Generally, the back of a good swimming crab is blue and hard, and the abdomen is full and thick. You can also carefully observe the crab legs. The legs are hard and hard to pinch.

You can also look at the belly button. The belly button of a good swimming crab is generally light red. The more red and the firmer the belly button, the fatter the crab.

For female crabs, generally look at the crab cover. You can see the fullness of the cream yellow by looking at the crab cover. Whether there are yellow-red things on the tips on both sides of the cover, the more it proves, the more yellow cream it has.

These two big swimming crabs are the best and fattest female swimming crabs that Ye Rongyao selected from dozens of big swimming crabs, because the female swimming crabs have delicious crab roe.

However, the price of female swimming crabs is also much more expensive than that of male swimming crabs.

Ye Rong cleaned up the swimming crabs, removed the crab caps, crab gills, and other excess items, chopped them into pieces, patted the crab claws a few times with a knife, and patted the cut crab pieces with white wine, salt, pepper, and pickled starch.

Use a knife to cut green and red peppers into diamond-shaped pieces, green onions, sliced ​​ginger, minced garlic, and minced shallots, set aside and wait.

Turn on the stove, heat the pan, add the lard for deep frying, after the oil boils, add the crab pieces that have been patted with dry starch, and fry until discolored.

Ye Rongyao took another pot. After heating the oil, pour in the onion, ginger and garlic, stir until fragrant, add chili sauce and fry until fragrant and red oil, put in the fried crab pieces, stir fry and cook in white wine.

Finally, pour the sliced ​​rice cakes into the pot, stir fry quickly and evenly, add a little boiling water or clear soup, add sugar and salt to taste.

When the soup becomes thick, turn to low heat. Add the green and red pepper pieces and stir fry, stir fry evenly, add a little sesame oil, and finally sprinkle with chopped chives, and a large piece of fragrant swimming crab fried rice cakes, which was fried by Ye Rongrong. (To be continued.)
