Chapter 282 Making Shrimp Noodles
After eating, the servant bought the prawns Jonas bought.
There were two big pots of them and they did not know how much it weighed.
Bettany came over to take a look, and asked, “What are you doing with these?”
Jonas picked up the shrimp, and said casually, “Lilly said she wanted to have shrimp noodles,”

Bettany was stunned for a moment and looked at Jonas suspiciously.
Are you sure you want to make shrimp noodles? It’s hard to make though.
Lilly sat on a bench next to him as she watched Jonas make prawn noodles.
The first step was to pick out the roe from the prawns. It was quite easy to do so, but it took Jonas a
while to do so.
Jonas picked the roe for ten minutes, and all he could see was shrimp roe.
Lilly ran out and pulled Anthony who had just finished his meeting. She also grabbed Liam Edward
Gilbert who was lying on the bed, and Blake who was reading something in the room to Jonas.
Eventually…
Her uncles, whose hands were shaking from doing a thousand push–ups this morning, were forced to
pick the roe.
Everyone was busy in the kitchen.
There was a commotion as they used different utensils to pick out the roe. Such as bowls, basins, and
plates.
Lilly also helped out, and after a while, Hannah, Zachary, Josh, and Drake joined them too.
Blake was fast and steady as Lilly admired him, “Daddy’s so amazing!”
Blake replied, “Of course, I am,” as Edward and the others stared at him with resentful eyes.
When Jean came out and saw this scene, everyone was dumbfounded.
Jean’s elder brothers frowned, and Edward had a ferocious face.
Was it so painful to pick shrimp roe?
Lilly and Josh were very happy to pick the shrimp roe. The children did it more carefully than the adults.
On push–ups, Blake… Never mind, it was not worth mentioning.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBlake was confused.
There were many of them doing the same thing and it took about an hour to finish picking the shrimp
roe.
“The next step is to peel off the shrimp.” Jonas watched the video and said, “Peeling the shrimp…”

The brothers looked at the two pols 81
were speechless.
Why did Jonas have to pick this dish out of everything?
Jonas said softly, “Lilly said she wanted to cat shrimp noodles,”
He spread his hands and looked helpless, “There’s also honeycomb and fresh salmon,”
Those are what Lilly wanted to eat.
The brothers who wanted to call all the servants over peeled off the shrimp shells.
Another hour passed.
The prawns were peeled.
Jonas, “We need to pick out the shrimp brains next,”
The brothers leaned closer and watched the video. The vlogger, Curtis dug out the brains of shrimp
with a small spoon without any fancy equipment.
Everyone was astonished.
Was this something a human could do?
After the shrimp heads were boiled, they began to pick out the shrimp brains. They finally finished
picking out the brains after more than an hour.
Lilly held up her hand and said, “Hey, my fingers are wrinkly!”
Hannah continued, “This is fun!”
Drake and Josh kept silent.
After picking out everything, Jonas picked up the pot, poured the shrimp roe into it, stir–fried it over low
heat until it turned orange, and then took it out when it turned dark brown. The shrimp roe was ready.
Then, he prepared the shrimp. He boiled the peeled shrimp and added onion, ginger, and garlic to
remove the fishy odor. He waited for the shrimps to turn red and took them out. The shrimp was ready.
He then put the remaining shrimp heads into the pan and stir–fried them to get the shrimp oil. The
shrimp oil was also ready.
Next, he boiled the shrimp head in the pot to get shrimp soup.
He poured out the soup and fried the remaining shrimp heads until they were dry. Then, he ground
them into powder with a machine, sieved them, and mixed it with the dough. He then rolled it through
the noodle extruder
Everyone except for Jonas had no clue what they were doing when they reached that step.
All of them looked dumbfounded and stood stiffly.
Jonas said, “The next step is simple. Put the shrimp oil into the pot, add the shrimp shells, shrimp
brains, and shrimp roe, and stir fry evenly…”
“Put cooked shrimp noodles in a bowl, fill it with soup… put the fried shrimp, shrimp brain, and shrimp
roe on the shrimp noodles, sprinkle with a little shrimp oil… sprinkle some green onions on it…”
At last, the shrimp noodles were ready!
Everyone looked at the bowl of noodles and was stunned.
They made seven small bowls of shrimp noodles for the whole day. It was so small it could only fill up a
sauce dish.
One for Jean and one for Lilly.
Hannah, Zachary, Drake, Josh, and Bettany each had a bowl.
The children’s eyes lit up after eating, “Yummy!”
Lilly said, “Uncle Jonas, can I have another bowl?”
Jonas was silent.
His hands were trembling.
Anthony glanced at the small bowl next to him, and asked in a low tone, “Has your mother eaten?”
Lilly looked aside, Jean was intoxicated by the smell of the noodles.
She said, “Yes, she said it was good!”
She waved her hand so that Anthony and the others could see Jean.
The children in the dining room licked their lips after finishing their noodles. Jean also licked her lips
while holding her bowl as if she wanted more.
Jonas and the others smiled and suddenly felt that everything they did today was worth it.
Edward said silently, “Do you want more?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJonas was silent.
Shrimp noodles were an easy dish to make, but it just needed too many people to make it
One of her uncles was tired after running 62 miles… no, it was a small bowl of shrimp noodles that
could make him tired.
Jonas stood up, “I’m going to make corn dogs!”
Jean raised her hand, “I want some!”
Jonas replied, “Okay,”
Anthony looked through the vlogger’s video on his phone and said, “I make grilled honeycomb,”
It was much easier to make compared to the shrimp noodles.
Gilbert stood up, “I’ll make salmon.”
Who could match his outstanding knife skills?
Jonas told someone to buy the salmon in advance. The high–quality salmon was frozen for 24 hours to
kill most of the parasites.
The sliced salmon was placed on ice cubes and then sterilized by infrared rays, so that not only did the
salmon maintain its freshness, but also ensured it was clean.
Bettany was holding her bowl, she watched them being busy in silence.
They cooked delicious food for a whole day and prepared another meal. Although they were not
perfect, and Margaret had to teach them some techniques, the dishes were special as they made them
themselves.
Almost all of them were Jean’s favorite food…
Bettany turned around and her eyes were red.
In the evening, Bryson, Cloud, and Max also came back, and the whole family got together.
On this day, Jean was satisfied, and all the regrets she had during her lifetime were made up for by her
brothers and her lovely daughter.
She had no more regrets.
“Tomorrow is July 14th, and I’m leaving,” Jean looked at the Crawford Mansion reluctantly.
She saw the familiar railings, living room, flowers, and plants.
She looked at her beloved daughter, brothers, and parents…
She could not bear to leave them…
