One by one, Li Du quickly pulled up a bunch of crayfish.
He went to grab the net that was placed in the water grass, and as the river flowed out, he left a group of crayfish in it.
They had no natural enemies in Australia, and there was no pollution here. They had plenty of food and little stress, so they were very fat.
In just forty to fifty minutes, Li Du had filled the two boxes he had bought.
The two boxes, which were originally intended for fish, were filled to the brim with crayfish.
When he went to return the net, he thanked the anglers for their help and asked, "We caught a lot of crayfish. Do you need them? I can give you some. "
The few of them shook their heads like a rattle drum. "No!"
Li Du also shook his head. Australians don't know how delicious crayfish are. It's a good dish to go with wine, and with some beer, life is enjoyable.
Driving back to the mine, Brother Wolf was carefully polishing a piece of ore. Blanchett stared at him, his eyes on fire, and he wanted to snatch it.
However, he did not have the guts. He knew Brother Wolf's skills very well.
Li Du moved the crayfish box down and said, "We have good food to enjoy at noon today."
Ivana let out a cheer. "Great!"
Brother Wolf looked up at Li Du with a smile on his face. He was not a foodie, but who would refuse good food?
Li Du came over and said to Blanchett, "Hey, buddy, prepare some beer tonight and come over to my place to drink. I have prepared a very interesting dish."
Blanchett did not speak, his eyes still fixed on the ore that was being polished.
Li Du reached out to pick up the ore. Blanchett finally reacted and looked up at him, his face full of desire.
"Another gem?" Li Du asked casually. "It seems that we have a harvest today. Well, the food is a reward for your hard work."
Behind them, Godzilla's huge body emerged from the mine. He took out another piece of ore and silently handed it to Li Du.
Blanchett asked jealously and covetously, "God, you didn't find another one, did you?"
Li Du showed him the ore. One side of the ore had a crystal clear color. Yes, Godzilla had found another gem.
Seeing this, Sophie smiled happily and said, "We are really lucky. Today's harvest is great. There are two gems."
Godzilla said, "There are more than two. We can continue looking in the afternoon."
Li Du patted him on the shoulder and said, "Take a rest first. I'll make you guys some crayfish for lunch."
While the crayfish were still alive, he took Lu Guan and Sophie to clean them.
There were no heavy metals or pollutants in the water of the Lightning River, but because it was close to the mine, there was a lot of dust and stone powder, which would stick to the crayfish's body.
Li Du cleaned the crayfish patiently. Brother Wolf put down the ore and came over to help. His movements were fast and precise. He was always able to pinch both sides of the crayfish's head to prevent it from getting caught.
Lu Guan wore leather gloves and was not afraid of being pinched.
However, these crayfish ate well, drank well, and grew well. They grew big and strong. After cleaning them up, the leather gloves were crushed.
He divided the crayfish into two parts according to their size. He removed the head of the smaller one and continued to rinse it. First, he poured oil into the wok and stir-fried the Sichuan pepper until fragrant. Then, he stir-fried the chives, ginger, garlic, and dried chili.
Li Du had added a lot of dried chilies. This dish had to be flavorful!
As the dry chili was fried, the whole mine was almost immersed in the spicy aroma. Li Du, who was cooking in close proximity, had to put on goggles.
In order to avoid being bullied by Ah Ow and Ah Meow, Ali deliberately followed Li Du.
As the chili made a sizzling sound in the boiling oil, it ran away with tears in its eyes.
There was no need to worry about revenge. Wolves and ocelots had a much more sensitive sense of smell than kangaroos. Such a stimulating spicy aroma had already knocked the two little ones over. They ran away without a trace.
After stir-frying the chili, Li Du continued to stir-fry the crayfish. He added white wine, soy sauce, and white sugar to taste. Finally, he added the green chili, and it was done!
He did not need to remove the head of the larger crayfish. He wanted to make thirteen-spice crayfish in this wok.
Because of Li Du's screening, the main crayfish that were fished out of the river were large, fat, and very fresh. They were definitely the best choice for making thirteen-spice crayfish.
As usual, he first prepared the wok with oil. This time, he poured in more oil. A four-liter barrel of olive oil was directly poured in half. When the fire burned until it was smoking, he began to add the crayfish in batches.
There were too many crayfish to be made, so he could not pour them all in at once. Otherwise, the water droplets on the crayfish would easily drip when they came into contact with the boiling oil.
In addition, the batches of crayfish could ensure better contact with the olive oil, which in turn would taste better. The shell would be crisper, and the meat would be more tender.
Batches of crayfish were put in and taken out. Finally, they were all fried. Li Du began the next step.
He poured out the used olive oil and replaced it with new oil. He used peanut oil, and then stir-fried the garlic, onion, ginger, and green peppers that he had prepared earlier.
After stir-frying until the aroma came out, he added in the light soy sauce, old soy sauce, white sugar, beer, and water. Then, he covered the wok and simmered it.
Thirteen-spice crayfish was easier than the spicy crayfish. Although they used the same amount of ingredients, one relied on stir-frying while the other relied on boiling, so it was definitely easier to cook.
A large iron wok was filled with crayfish. After cooking for five minutes, when the crayfish turned bright red, it was almost ready to be taken out of the wok.
Before it was taken out of the wok, salt, chicken essence, sesame oil, and preferably some coriander were added. However, there was no coriander in the town's supermarket, so Li Du used rosemary instead.
He had taken the other seasonings from home and stored them in the black hole, but he did not prepare the coriander.
Finally, after stir-frying the crayfish and waiting for the flavor to enter, it was done.
There were too many crayfish, so there was no need to pour them out. Li Du waved his hand, and Godzilla and Brother Wolf moved the big iron wok directly to the shade of the tree and ate it directly.
He took a few photos and posted them on his WeChat Moments. His classmates and friends quickly liked them.
Li Du did not forget about the man who dug the well when he drank water. At the same time, he made a tourism promotion for Australia: There are many crayfish in the Australian river. The crayfish are so big that one pot can't fit them all! Divided into two pots, one secret recipe, one mild spicy. Give me a bottle of snowflake, let's go to the end of the world!
Soon, a classmate left a message asking him, "Is it really in Australia?"
Li Du replied, "Australia, New South Wales, Lightning Ridge, Lightning River, the crayfish here is free!"
The classmate continued to leave a message, "Damn, I didn't know you were born a nouveau riche. You are traveling everywhere!"
Li Du smiled and put down his phone. When the crayfish was a little cold, he called out to the crowd, "Come, come, come, eat it while it's hot. Give me a bottle of beer."
Blanchett also stayed to eat the crayfish. He also brought some white wine and said, "What's the point of always drinking beer? Come, Li, let's drink vodka today! It's a real man's drink! "
A smile appeared on Li Du's face. "Okay, I like hard liquor!"
