Chapter 1122 - Yuan Zhou’s crayfish

The pool looked like it was made of natural stone. The outside was light in color, and the outer shell was not regular. A water inlet was installed at the bottom of the pool, which was probably used to change the water.

The pool was filled with fat and strong crayfish.

The crayfish's shell was red and black, and its body was cylindrical. Its shell was thick, and its head and chest were slightly flat. Its two large pincers were strong and powerful, red and black.

Although it was dark, Yuan Zhou's vision wasn't affected. He could clearly see the two black eyes of the lobster rolling around.

The prawn's whiskers were also turning from time to time, while its tail was bending and jumping forcefully.

"Pa, pa, pa!" Because there were too many lobsters, the sound of them slapping on the water surface was heard when they jumped up.

However, Yuan Zhou wasn't affected by the movement of the lobsters at all. He carefully observed the various parts of the lobsters and the water quality inside.

"Well, it seems that I can start to deal with it after breakfast tomorrow morning." Yuan Zhou nodded his head inwardly.

That's right. Yuan Zhou's crayfish had actually been released by the system long ago. After all, it was a seasonal ingredient and had to be released in the same season.

However, Yuan Zhou didn't start to sell them all this time, because the system had sent him genuine ingredients this time, the kind that hadn't been processed.

It was like this ...

The system displayed,[seasonal ingredient, crayfish, scientific name, protissus cruciferus, has been released. Please check and accept.]

"If you didn't post it, I would have asked. This crayfish is also considered a Sichuan dish. After all, Ma Xiao is quite famous." Yuan Zhou was very happy in the heart, but he still appeared serious on the surface.

The system displayed,"it has been released. The host can check and receive it."

"Alright, let me see where it is." Yuan Zhou answered and then took up the net bag and started to look for it in the water tank in the kitchen.

That's right, most of the aquatic products nowadays, as long as they were alive, would appear in this water tank that seemed to be connected to a different dimension.

It wasn't strange for Yuan Zhou to think so. After all, there were not only freshwater prawns but also deep-sea prawns and other fish in the water tank. They all got along well with each other and never fought.

Therefore, Yuan Zhou wasn't surprised at all when he saw the crayfish.

"Hua la Hua la," it was the sound of Yuan Zhou turning the water tank.

"No crayfish, no crayfish." Yuan Zhou stood up and said to the system expressionlessly.

However, the system remained silent. Yuan Zhou dried the net and thought carefully for a while before searching the entire restaurant. Only then did he find the current pool near the wall of the backyard of the pub.

At that time, the pool was also filled with lobsters, but they had a greenish-black color.

"Kuang". Yuan Zhou quickly grabbed one and started to check it. The lobster had a strong body, a strong tail, strong pincers, and a pair of flexible eyes.

It only smelled of water grass, because it was raised in a pond with excellent water quality, but it didn't change the fact that the shrimp was very dirty.

"Original crawfish?" Yuan Zhou asked with puzzlement.

After all, the ingredients provided by the system in the past were basically very clean. Even most of the time, Yuan Zhou didn't need to personally slaughter them. But this time, the crayfish obviously couldn't be eaten now. It had to be naturally spit out sand and purified before it could be cooked.

This time, the system quickly explained, and immediately displayed,""This ingredient can't be killed. The system is only responsible for providing the top-grade ingredient. The host can clean it up by himself."

"Alright," he said. Yuan Zhou put down the crayfish and then began to clean the pool and change the water. During the process, he also fed the crayfish to prevent them from getting thinner while spitting sand to purify the water.

As for the serious (turtle) and strict (hairy) Yuan Zhou, it took him a whole week to clean and purify the food before it reached the standard that he thought was edible.

That was why Shu Yue didn't get to eat crayfish for a week.

Yuan Zhou had always had a bad taste, but he would never make things difficult for his customers. This was a sign that Yuan Zhou was becoming more and more like a master of cooking.

After feeding the lobsters with some fresh water shrimp seedlings, Yuan Zhou stood beside the pool and waited for the lobsters to finish eating quietly. Only then did he change the water in the pool.

The back door was open while the rice and broth stayed by Yuan Zhou's side.

"Alright, thank you for looking after the lobsters. Go to bed early." After Yuan Zhou changed the water, he greeted the rice and broth. Only after they laid down did he close the back door and go back.

Speaking of which, after Yuan Zhou started to process the crayfish himself, the rice and broth often helped to watch over the crayfish. If there was any movement at night, they would growl to scare the crayfish in the pond.

Of course, Yuan Zhou didn't know that. He thought that broth and the rice just wanted to work with him.

Time passed by quickly. There were many customers in Yuan Zhou's restaurant during breakfast time. Although they knew that those who came later wouldn't be able to eat the limited 100 servings, there were still many customers who came.

They had come to personally ask if there was really crayfish to eat today.

Crayfish was now the new favorite of summer and was very popular.

After the customers who didn't manage to get in line got a positive answer, they left contentedly one after another. They rubbed their hands and waited for lunch or dinner to have the crayfish prepared by Yuan Zhou.

Therefore, after the breakfast time ended, Yuan Zhou started to process the prawns.

"I'll go get the prawns. " After Yuan Zhou said that to master Cheng who was standing at the side, he took a large bamboo basket and entered the door of the Sergestes wall landscape.

Master Cheng looked at the bamboo basket that was as thick as his waist and then at Yuan Zhou's body. He immediately became worried.

"I'll have to catch it later. " Master Cheng thought in his heart.

In about two to three minutes, Yuan Zhou came out with the bamboo basket in both hands.

"Master, I'll help." Master Cheng rolled up his sleeves and was about to take the bamboo basket.

"No need," Yuan Zhou said with a relaxed tone. Then, he walked into the kitchen quickly and put the bamboo basket into the sink before letting out a breath without leaving any trace.

"It's quite heavy. " Yuan Zhou said in his heart.

"Master, I can help with this kind of heavy work. I have a lot of meat." Master Cheng walked to Yuan Zhou and said earnestly.

Looking at master Cheng's serious expression, Yuan Zhou paused for a while and then said,""Okay, bring the remaining half of the pond over later. I'll teach you how to catch prawns."

"Okay, thank you, master." Master Cheng revealed a pleasantly surprised look and said hurriedly.

"You are my disciple." Yuan Zhou's unspoken words were that this was something that should be done and there was no need to thank him.

"Okay, master." Master Cheng immediately understood Yuan Zhou's meaning and then said with a silly smile of satisfaction.

"Let's focus on cleaning the prawns first. I don't have time to explain later." Yuan Zhou said while washing his hands.

"Okay, master." Master Cheng took out his small notebook and appeared ready to start recording at any time.

Yuan Zhou nodded his head inwardly at master Cheng's seriousness. On the surface, however, he started to clean the small lobsters indifferently.

"Shua". Yuan Zhou quickly and accurately grabbed the head of a crayfish in the bamboo basket. After pinching it with a force that was neither too heavy nor too light, he immediately took it out and started to brush it with the soft brush with the other hand.

There were only two kinds of rustling sounds left in the restaurant. One was the sound of master Cheng's brush tip rubbing against the paper while the other was the sound of Yuan Zhou washing the crayfish with a soft brush.

The two voices sounded surprisingly harmonious ...
