Food: Random stalls, customers chase me all over the country

Chapter 382-Mecha is a man’s romance, and Pipi Shrimp itself is romance
The third day of setting up the seafood farm.

Today's topic has changed to half white shrimp and half mantis shrimp.

Although the breeding area of ​​white shrimp is large, the sales volume has already opened up. In line with the principle of equal treatment, mantis shrimp has been put on the agenda.

Mantis shrimp is also a common guest on the dining table, but the awesomeness of this little creature is little known.

It was only when Wang Fan was studying at night that he realized how terrifying this little thing was.

"Living Godzilla", "No need to evolve for 400 million years", "Living mecha left on Earth by aliens", "Full body of black technology".

These are all used to describe this inconspicuous little thing.

There was a meme on the Internet before called "Let's go, Mantis shrimp", and many people just thought it was a meme, but they probably never imagined that this little creature is almost invincible within its size.

How lonely that invincible is!
After reading all the introductions to Mantis Shrimp, Wang Fan's mecha soul suddenly ignited.

That’s right, what’s burning is the soul of the mecha!

Mecha is a man’s romance, and Pipi Shrimp himself is that romance!

Super-powerful mechas, a fiery temper, Zentraedi-level eyes, punches faster than bullets, and an audio-visual communication system that humans still can't understand.

The 7mm small fist can deliver a maximum force of 150KG in one punch. Wang Fan even doubted that he himself could not deliver such a strong force.

小拳拳3000分之1秒就可以从0加速到每小时80千米，加速度超过了10000个重力加速度，火箭升空才只需要10个重力加速度！什么概念？如果人类的身体有这能力，一甩胳膊就可以直接把卫星甩到地球轨道里去。

In martial arts novels, there are people who can hurt others from a distance with one punch. This is the author’s imagination, but Pipixia can really do it!
Because the speed is so fast, the water around the small fist boils instantly, producing a super cavitation effect, which can be simply understood as fist force.

This punch also has AoE damage. The bubbles produced by the supercavitation effect will collapse in an instant. The energy released by the collapse can instantly heat the water to 6700 degrees Celsius, which is higher than the surface temperature of the sun!

And a dazzling white light will be produced in an instant, which is the legendary "sonoluminescence" effect.

There is no martial arts in the world that is invincible except speed. With its fast punches, the mantis shrimp can act like a hooligan without any scruples in the sea.

Crush shells, dismember crabs, and stun octopuses with hammers...

However, farmed fish don't have as many opportunities to act like hooligans.

The general price of mantis shrimp is around 80 to 120 yuan per catty, and large ones can even cost more than 300 yuan per catty. The price of artificially cultivated ones will naturally be slightly lower, but not too ridiculously low.

Prices are always adjusted according to the supply and demand relationship in the market. There are not so many artificially farmed mantis shrimps now, so it is far from being reduced to a rock-bottom price.

Zhuo's father looked at the pond of mantis shrimp and shrugged, "We'll only raise these once, and we won't be raising them next year. The cost of breeding them is simply too high. Compared to those white shrimp, the input-output ratio is completely disproportionate."

Wang Fan nodded and said, "I think you should just raise those whiteleg shrimp in the future. Don't raise rainbow trout, sturgeon, mantis shrimp, etc."

Zhuo's father said, "That's what I thought. We raised so many shrimp before mainly to determine which ones had the best market prospects. Now, white shrimp are definitely the most cost-effective."

"Oh, by the way, the publicity guys asked if you're free tonight. If you are, they'll send the sheep over."

Wang Fan said, "Okay, tonight." Zhuo's father thought for a moment and asked, "Can you roast a whole lamb? If you feel tired, I'll ask Zayk to do it. His skills are very good in the whole city."

Zhuo's father felt that he needed to be more tactful in his words. Young people nowadays all want to save face, so he asked if Wang Fan was tired, rather than whether his skills were up to par or not.

Would Wang Fan be happy about that?
That’s definitely not possible!

Just like a peerless swordsman wouldn't be willing to give away his sword, how could such top-notch ingredients be grilled by others?!

"No, absolutely not, I have to roast the whole lamb!"

"Very tired."

"How can cooking be tiring? The thought of such delicious ingredients being transformed into delicious food on my body makes me so excited that I'm full of energy!"

It is indeed difficult to find sheep that are one and a half years old. Generally, they can be slaughtered at around 8 months old. There is really no need to raise them for one and a half years. The meat of sheep that are over two years old is not as tender, and the taste is completely incomparable to that of sheep that are one and a half years old.

Even if the king of heaven comes today, he can’t snatch the right to make this roasted whole lamb from Wang Fan!

Zhuo's father was speechless and said, "How about I find you a lamb to practice on first? Qianqian said you haven't roasted a whole lamb before. Don't just try and mess it up. Wouldn't that be embarrassing in front of the kids?"

Wang Fan shook his head: "No need, I can definitely bake it well."

Although I have never experienced actual combat, I have participated in many simulated battles. A mere roasted whole lamb is definitely easy for me to handle.

"Okay, okay, do whatever you want. But I've already warned you in advance, so don't blame me if something goes wrong."

Wang Fan laughed heartily: "Don't worry, there's absolutely no chance of a rollover."

After chatting for a while, Zhuo Qianqian had already finished counting the quantity. These tourists and fans showed great enthusiasm for the mantis shrimps that cost 50 yuan per pound. There was only one pond, and Wang Fan estimated that they would probably be sold out all in one day.

Wang Fan didn't dare let the kids deal with the alien mecha, so he simply didn't deal with it. After fishing it out, he just blanched it all in boiling water.

After wrapping the blanched mantis shrimp with absorbent paper, Wang Fan used scissors to trim the shrimp knives and tails that were easy to prick the mouth, and then evenly coated them with a layer of cornstarch.

Generally, when frying food in oil, the oil temperature is kept at 60% for the first frying and 70% for the second frying. However, when frying the mantis shrimp, he chose to heat the oil directly to 70%.

The sizzling sounds of oil popping continued to be heard, and the skin of the mantis shrimp gradually turned into a delicious color.

Remove from the heat and drain the oil, then put it back into the pan when the oil temperature reaches 80%.

After frying for the second time for 30 seconds, take it out, stir-fry the green and red peppers and chopped onions, put the fried mantis shrimp in, stir-fry while sprinkling pepper salt and previously fried garlic. Soon the mantis shrimp will be covered with green and red pepper chopped and golden minced garlic.

The rich and fresh aroma is somewhat different from that of prawns, and the degree of freshness seems to be three times more intense than the latter.

After turning off the fire, Wang Fan picked up a mantis shrimp from the pot with chopsticks and brought it to his mouth to taste it.

The diners' eyes were instantly fixed on Wang Fan, waiting for him, the maker, to give his evaluation after the first bite.
