Chapter 5400: Bamboo Basket
Chapter 5400: Bamboo Basket
The child grinned and ran away.
He took the garlic-flavored crabs and shared them with Bai Juan and the others. He pinched one and put it in his mouth and chewed it. The crab shell was fried crispy. Wu Cheng thought it tasted good and grabbed another handful. The lieutenant general's adjutant took a few and shared them with Roger and Lieutenant General Bai Xun to try.
Roger ate one and said, "It's OK, but not as delicious as steamed or grilled ones."
Lieutenant General Bai Xun stood up and said, "I'll go and stir-fry another pot of chili."
Not only are there those with chili peppers, but there are also five-spice and spicy ones, all cooked in the same pot. Every time, they stir-fry ten pounds of carefully selected small crabs and river melon seeds. Luo Bi is a delicate person, and since Roger is around, no one can afford to use her.
The children were young, so the lieutenant general took the trouble to prepare food for them in order to get them to do more work.
Since they couldn't afford to buy ingredients, they could not be stingy with what their hunting team had harvested. They would fry a pot of it every now and then, each pot having a different flavor, which made the children very greedy. They were very motivated to have a taste of this fresh river food and were busy until the middle of the night before going to bed.
The Thunder Flame Warrior cleaned up and checked the bamboo baskets every once in a while. In the morning, the basins and buckets in the protective shield were full, with about 1,500 kilograms of small crabs and more than 100 kilograms of river melon seeds.
Lieutenant General Bai Xun and other Thunder Flame warriors were overjoyed. The financial officer He Tang and his adjutant rushed back from the Imperial Star. Seeing that the basins and buckets were full, He Yao was surprised and walked around the basins and buckets.
Afterwards, Qin Rong went back to Zhihuang Star and came back.
It’s hard to describe how delicious the crabs are. Those who have eaten them have never had enough. Looking at so many crabs, Qin Rong wondered, “How did you catch so many crabs at once?!”
The lieutenant general's adjutant kept his mouth busy, eating spicy fried crabs and saying, "It's a bamboo basket."
Everyone knows about bamboo baskets, there are only two. Qin Rong was puzzled, so Lieutenant General Bai Xun talked about it with the financial officer. Then the financial officer He Tang understood. It turned out that people also refined bamboo baskets, not just two.
He Yao was craving for the little crabs, so he brought a basin full of them and asked Wu Cheng to clean them. He then steamed half of them and grilled the other half. When Wu Cheng heard that he was busy eating, he immediately washed his face and followed him.
Luo Bi also got up after hearing the noise, washed her face, and wandered to the kitchen area to get a few garlic-flavored crabs to eat. After eating one, she felt that it was not as fresh as the steamed ones, but it was very fragrant.
There were about thirty kilograms of fried crabs of various flavors. Luo Bi and Lieutenant General Bai Xun said, "I will go to the market to sell the crabs later."
Lieutenant General Bai Xun was grilling fish. After hearing this, he thought about the number of crabs and said, "Excluding those that we ate, our hunting team probably harvested 1,500 kilograms of crabs. Roger and I mean to keep them for internal digestion, especially for the little Thunder Flame Warriors. Winter is long, and you and the children will have a hard time getting through the winter if you don't eat enough. 1,500 kilograms is not enough to share, so we won't sell them."
Luo Bi looked towards the river: "Isn't the bamboo basket still there?"
The lieutenant general's adjutant and Roger came back from the river. The lieutenant general's adjutant said, "We caught less crabs than we did at the beginning. Maybe there are not many small crabs in this section."
Luo Bicai couldn't believe it. The entire Xun River was so big, how could there be only so few small crabs? !
At Luo Bi's thought, Roger chuckled, "The little crabs upstream and downstream won't come over!"
Luo Bi was not convinced, so she grabbed a handful of garlic crabs and walked towards the river: "I'll go and take a look."
There were no small crabs to be seen, as there were plenty of them caught in the river section near the garrison. Roger took some grilled fish from the grill and ate them.
The lieutenant general's adjutant followed Luo Bi, and Luo Jie stopped following. (End of this chapter)
