I have become popular in modern times with food

After all, Tang Yuan still failed to be Yu Jian's cheap brother, Yu Jianping was a little disappointed, and was a little depressed for several days.

Even the little worker Han Lin was affected, and the whole kitchen was so oppressive that he couldn't breathe.He sneaked into the back alley, panting heavily while holding his knees, and found no one around, so he picked up his phone to browse information.

There were several vibrations in the morning, but he didn't free his hand. Looking at it now, the man must have a new movement.

He regained his composure, put his phone back into his trousers pocket, tidied up his clothes, and stepped back into the back kitchen of the restaurant.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the first ray of cold air in the south of the Yangtze River has also arrived.When the north wind blows, the crabs rise.

Tang Yuan invested in a crab pond in the south of the Yangtze River. The first batch of lake crabs had arrived. He kept some for himself, and sent the rest to the two brothers of the Yu family.

Although they did not become relatives, the relationship between the two families seemed to be closer. Even Tang Jingling would often go to Yu's house when she was free, taking Li Jingguo to eat together.

Tang Yuan also respected Yu Jianguo and Yu Jianping even more. Of course, Yu Jian really contributed to this.

"Crab?" Yu Jian's eyes sparkled, and she looked at Tang Yuan with some joy, "It's still a lake crab!"

Green shell, white belly, golden claws, and yellow hair are the characteristics of high-quality hairy crabs. The back of the crab is shiny, the belly of the crab is white, the claws are powerful, and the hairs are straight.

Yu Jian seemed to be able to see the yellow and creamy inside of the crab, and her saliva was almost drooling.

Tang Yuan said with a smile: "The output of crab ponds this year is good. This is the first batch, and there will be more in the future." He invested in this crab pond with Li Hanzhi. The family said that he happened to have some money on hand, so he invested in the stock.

High-quality hairy crabs have special requirements for the water environment. They must be rich in minerals and organic substances, clear to the bottom, and rich in aquatic plants as habitats.

Feeding requires three meat and three vegetables, small fish, shrimp, snails, aquatic plants, corn and soybeans.

In the first year, I don't know whether it was due to the weather or improper feeding. Before June, the crab seedlings died a lot.Li Hanzhi got sores on his lips, fearing that Tang Yuan's money would be wasted, so he went to the south of the Yangtze River himself and stayed there for a long time.

By March of the next year, the strength of the crab seedlings was revealed, and a good batch of boy crabs were harvested in June.But the time to really taste hairy crabs is after September.

"Yeah!" Yu Jian squatted on the ground and turned the crabs over and over one by one, until she confirmed the male and female, then she clapped her hands and stood up, and said to him with great interest, "Seeing that you are so attentive For the sake of giving the crabs, I reluctantly accepted them. Please eat delicious food in two days!"

According to the "Sui Shu", when Emperor Yang of Sui went to Jiangdu, the local people entertained him with sugar crabs.Emperor Sui Yang took a bite and was amazed by the taste. Every time he ate it, he had to ask his servants to wipe the crab shell clean, and then paste the golden dragon and phoenix clouds on it, and named it Wen Zou Zou, It is called: golden dragon and phoenix crab.

Sui, Tang, Sui and Tang Dynasties, many customs of the Tang Dynasty are the continuation of the Sui Dynasty, and sugar crab is also an indispensable delicacy in the court cuisine.

The surface of the crab is first cleaned with a brush, especially the part of the leg hair, which hides many tiny creatures.Yu Jian dug out the big basin that Yu Yuan used for bathing when she was a child, filled a basin full of water, sprinkled salt on it, and adjusted it to light salt water.Put the cleaned crabs into the water and let them spit out the dirty things slowly.

Grandma Yu sat under the big tree, waving her fan to watch her keep busy, and beckoning: "Ah Jian, come and drink some water."

The process of spit sand should not be sloppy, it needs to be paid attention to from time to time, and the water should be replaced if it is slightly cloudy.Yu Jian didn't turn her head back: "Wait a while——"

The water was changed four or five times, and the crabs wandered in it, and the bubbles they spit out were also clear and transparent. The next step is to scrub again.

The honey caramel water is made into a slightly thick state, and the crabs are put into it one by one.The crab drank the sweet sugar water, slowly stopped crawling, and entered a state of intoxication.Confectioning takes a full day and must be kept in a cool place.Yu Jian wrapped them in plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator.

A day later, the crabs are still alive, but their movements are no longer very sensitive. At this time, they are taken out, put into a urn, poured some Huadiao wine, and then put on the prepared sauce, and continue to marinate for [-] hours.

When the time is up, take off the top cover of the urn, the molasses inside is mixed with the aroma of wine, it is really a graceful thing that makes the mouth water.

Tang Yuan received a message from Yu Jian early on, and took advantage of the lunch break to arrive at Yu's restaurant. There were two or three tables of guests left in the hall, and it was also entering the final stage.

Tang Yuan found a seat, set the tableware by himself, and waited for Yu Jian to serve the food.

"Yo, it's quite early~" Yu Jian carried a small urn, and walked in from the door with brisk steps. Tang Yuan sat down before she arrived.

Tang Yuan quickly took the urn from her hand, but there was no embarrassment in his tone: "If you are not active in eating, what else is there to be active?"

Yu Jian tilted her head and glanced at him, she was indeed right!But from Tang Yuan's mouth, no matter how it sounds, it's a bit inconsistent...

The sugar crab in the small urn is marinated with Yu Jian's special honey water, which has a richer flavor.As soon as the lid was opened, there was a sweet and greasy scent. Tang Yuan gasped and said in surprise, "Osmanthus honey."

Yu Jian pursed her lips and gave him a white look, her nose was as sharp as a dog's.

The crab still looks innocent, but the shell is covered with a layer of golden honey syrup, and there is a faint smell of wine.

Yu Jian asked the waiter to bring some shredded ginger from the back kitchen, and scooped out a spoonful of soaked water from the urn, and then pushed the crab along with it to Tang Yuan: "Golden dragon and phoenix crab, welcome to taste."

Tang Yuan picked up the crab's claws with his bare hands and uncovered the crab shell. The crab inside was golden and buttery, plump and thick. When he sucked it with his tongue, the delicious aftertaste lingered on the tip of the tongue for a long time...

The sweet-scented osmanthus water and the sauce blend perfectly, and the salty and sweet taste is not inconsistent at all.Crab meat is like jelly, soft and white like jade, it melts when you sip it in your mouth, and the sweetness bursts in your mouth.

After eating two crabs in one go, Tang Yuan finally stopped, licked his lips, and sighed: "No wonder people say that this crab is the most delicious food in Qiuyue!"

As she said that, she wanted to reach out to the small urn again, but Yu Jian patted it lightly, and retracted it again.

The little girl stared at him: "Crabs are cold in nature, so you can't eat more. You must have been waiting to eat crabs, didn't you eat anything else?"

Tang Yuan felt guilty for a moment, but it was fleeting. He shook his head and refused to admit it: "It's nothing, let me eat another one..."

And as his voice fell, there was a clear sound of sucking saliva next to him.

The two looked over in response, and the few guests at the two tables in the hall stared at the small urn on the table without blinking.

Among them, a string of crystal clear water stains slowly flowed down from the mouth of a child...
