Chapter 306 306. Spicy Crab

It is indeed a new dish.

In the kitchen, Cheng Xi was putting a bunch of crabs that had been simply processed and cut into small pieces into the pan for oiling. Wang Shu, who was standing beside him, had been staring blankly for a long time.

"Ma'am, are these water bugs really not poisonous? Can they be eaten?"

"Eatable and not poisonous."

Not only can it be eaten, but it tastes very delicious.

It's the end of September, and it's the season of plump crabs. It's the best time to eat spicy crabs.

But people in Dayan don’t eat this kind of crab. This kind of river crab with little meat has not been served on the tables of the people of Dayan. Even the poorer people mostly don’t want to get it. look in.

Cheng Xi sent Su Zhan to catch those in the pot early in the morning. The indescribable expression on the latter's face when he received the task is still fresh in everyone's memory.

After the crabs were caught, Cheng Xi soaked them in the clear spring water in the space for a while, and they were still alive and kicking when they were knifed. They were absolutely fresh.

"You call her a water bug?"

The name of the water bug is really not very deliberate.

You must know that creatures that live on water can go to sea.

"Cough, there is actually no unified name. Everyone doesn't like this kind of big bug that can bite people."

No one even tried to eat it.

Wang Shu silently added a sentence in his heart, his expression became more and more numb.

While taking her expression into his eyes, Cheng Xi did not forget to use the shovel to flip the crab pieces in the pot neatly.

"Don't worry, this thing is made to ensure that you will want to eat it after eating it."

"."

"Look, you can do it after you learn it."

Wang Shu nodded, if it wasn't for the lack of pen, ink, paper and inkstone by her side, she might have picked up a small notebook to take notes.

Crabs that were cut into chunks passed through the hot oil, and the original greenish-brown color suddenly turned red when heated. Because of the layer of oil, the color was brighter and brighter, and it also had a somewhat attractive fragrance.

"hiss--"

This river worm is so fragrant?

That ugly, invisible river worm that likes to walk sideways is so fragrant!
Incredible.

Wang Shu swallowed unconsciously, and his cold eyes became a little hotter.

After following Madam for such a long time, she has seen a lot of ingredients turned into gourmet food, but every time there is a completely different dish from Dayan Dynasty, she is still very shocked.

"Ma'am, what should I do next?"

"After the oil is finished, we will enter the topic."

Cheng Xi put the red crab pieces aside, started another pot and then heated the oil. After the oil reached a certain temperature, he put the chopped garlic into the pot and turned it to medium-low heat.

After a while, the garlic turns slightly yellow.

She took out a spoonful of bean paste from a small jar, and then added peppercorns, chopped bright red peppers, green onions, and ginger in order to stir-fry. After the aroma was removed from the air, the pungent smell of peppers was added.

Because of the bean paste and chopped chili in the pot, it quickly became red and shiny. Cheng Xi saw that the red oil had been boiled out, then poured the crab cubes in and fried them again, sprinkled a circle of fruit wine to enhance the flavor, and finally added an appropriate amount of water to stew.

Cover the pot.

"Okay, just collect the juice later."

The aroma in the kitchen became more and more intense, and several other green vegetables were also fried and put on the plate one by one during the stew, so greedy that Feng'er was next to him and smelled Si Hashiha.

"It's so fragrant, so fragrant, the dishes made by sister Xi are so fragrant~"

"Are you hungry?"

"Hungry, hungry, Feng'er's stomach was growling just now."

"." Who has been eating chestnut cakes all morning?

Cheng Xi squatted down in surprise, touched his soft belly, and heard a grunt ringing in his ears.

"?"

Really hungry?

"The little guy is quite edible, but this crab is cold in nature, you can only eat one piece later."

"Okay~(*^▽^*)~"

What happened to one piece?Sister Xi has cooked a lot of dishes, and each dish is enough to fill his stomach.

The spicy crabs were quickly collected under the fire, and because there were too many crabs, they were divided into three plates. After Su Zhan and Wang Shu brought them to the living room, two groups of guests also came in.

Since there were too many guests to be entertained today, Cheng Xi and Shen Xingluo divided them into two groups after discussion. The outer living room was used to entertain male guests, and the inner living room was used to accommodate female guests.

It was also at this time that everyone saw Xu Lao, the elder of the Shen family who was said to live in seclusion.

The host and guest sit together and start dinner.

Except for brothers Qin Zheng and Yu Heting, it was the first time for the others to face the impact of the Shen family's delicious food. As soon as they were seated, they felt all kinds of aromas go straight into their noses.

And the beautiful dishes on the rectangular dining table are full of color, fragrance and taste, and you can tell that the taste must be the same just by looking at it.

Qu Shaojing only felt novelty, "Our capital is the most prosperous place in Dayan in vain, but today we have become a bumpkin."

Qin Zheng bared his teeth with a smile.

Isn't he just a country bumpkin? He also lived in the capital for a few years when he was a child, so he knows what dishes are served in the restaurants in the capital, and those are not a bit worse than the Shen's.

"Brother Qu, the taste of this stewed meat is the most memorable, trust me."

"No, didn't you say that ribs are your favorite?"

"It's all!"

Qin Zheng rolled his eyes, picked up the serving chopsticks and took a small piece of braised pig's trotter for Qu Shaojing.

"Come and taste this, it's delicious, I'm sure you'll want to eat it once."

"." I always feel that this kid has no good intentions, what's going on?

Qu Shaojing felt a gust of autumn wind blowing on his back, and after thinking about it, he didn't know what was wrong, so he simply picked up the small bowl containing a piece of unidentifiable meat and tried it.

The next moment, he was stunned in place, as if someone had pressed the pause button.

"!"

A mouthful of astonishment.

Fragrant, it's so fragrant!

How can food be so delicious?

The crispy pork marinated in marinade has its own chewy texture, the meat is tight, soft and elastic, and the mouth is full of fluid. Capturing all senses and palates.

"Delicious, the taste is really fragrant, this is the delicacy in the world!"

Qu Shaojing suddenly felt that the first 20 years were wasted, "By the way, what kind of meat is this?"

Qin Zheng, who had been watching him by his side, grinned, and spit out two words with a bit of malice.

"Pig trotters."

"."

trotters.

Pig trotters?

Pig trotters!

".Is it the pig's trotter I thought?"

The hooves of a lazy pig who sleeps, eats, eats, sleeps, whimpers and never takes a bath!
"Yes, yes, it's the pig's trotter you thought, isn't it delicious?"

"."

Qu Shaojing froze for a moment, then calmed down again, and said sadly:
"I just said that something was wrong just now, so you want to see me joke?"

When he couldn't see that the elder of the Shen family surnamed Xu was holding a pig's trotter of the same style and gnawed happily?

After finishing speaking, he took a bite of the bouncy tendons of the pig's trotter—ah~ delicious!

No matter what kind of pig's trotters and pig's tail it is, delicious food is king!

Qin Zheng: "."

Why is it different from what he thought?
"Is this braised pork?"

On the women's table in the inner hall, Jiang Yuyao, who was holding a bowl and chopsticks, was surprised.

"Grandpa brought back a piece of stewed meat recipe when he passed by Lin'an Mansion last year. Could it be that he bought it from Sister Xi'er?"

"Yes."

Cheng Xi nodded, "Speaking of which, it's really fate. At that time, I was setting up a stall at Huaishui Wharf, and I happened to meet Steward Jiang who got off the boat."

She simply told the story to everyone. In fact, even Shen Xingqi didn't know about it. Everyone was amazed when they heard this. They didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

"It's fate."

Jiang Yuyao's eyebrows and eyes curled up with a smile, making her more gentle and charming, "Since the stewed pork dish has become more popular in the family, grandpa's students and daddy's colleagues often come to the door."

"fate!"

Although Feng'er, who was sitting on the pony saddle, didn't understand much, he couldn't stop him from interjecting.

Shen Xingqi rubbed the small knob on his head, and picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs.

"What else does Feng'er want to eat?"

"That crab."

"Yes, but you are still young, so you can't eat too much."

A plate of golden spicy crab is placed in the middle of the dining table, even if it is surrounded by delicious dishes, it is the most unique existence.

Without him, the special shape with pliers and a few legs is too chic.

Song Yan couldn't wait to put her chopsticks into the spicy crab plate, picked up a piece and took a deep breath.

"This taste is very strong, a bit pungent and spicy but it makes people want to stop."

It must be delicious!

The fact is exactly as she imagined, when a piece of crab meat enters the mouth, the fresh taste immediately sweeps the taste buds, fragrant, spicy, fresh and crisp.

"Tsk, I'm going to lose my tongue!"

It's just that there are a lot of shells, and it's a bit strenuous to eat even when the crabs are at their fattest.

Seeing the satisfied expression on her face, the others moved their chopsticks towards the dish in the middle one after another, and their eyes lit up after a while.

Qu Shaoya was still slow at first, but after eating two mouthfuls, seeing Song Yan let go of herself, she abandoned her usual etiquette and ate with relish.

In order to take care of the ladies, Cheng Xi has tried to cut the crab into smaller pieces, so that he can taste its deliciousness without using his hands.

The yellow crab paste took up more than half of it, and it was delicious enough to move everyone's face. Even Jiang Yuyao and Qin Nan, who don't usually like spicy food, ate a few extra pieces.

The female relatives eat here very reservedly, and the outside hall has changed direction because of Mr. Xu and Qin Zheng.

"This piece is mine, boy, you don't respect the old!"

"Old Xu, I'm a guest, a guest."

"Hmph, we don't have any guests who come in over the wall all day long."

"." He didn't climb over the wall!

"Hahahaha~~ It turns out that Qin Zheng, you are so worthless, oops, I'm dying of laughter hahhh——"

Xu Lao and Qu Shaojing VS Qin Zheng, a complete victory.

The latter was just depressed for a moment, and then revived with full blood, "Why are you laughing, what's so funny? At least I can eat my little sister-in-law's cooking every day, hmph—"

Unlike someone who has known Brother Shen for so long, not only came to eat for the first time, but was also rescued twice.

promising.

Qu Shaojing's laughter stopped abruptly.

"Qin, Zheng!"

Du and Qin looked at each other and sighed, how did things turn out like this?

What about the demeanor of a literati, what about the image of the young master as a handsome, unrestrained and elegant son?

It's just a quarter of an hour's work, and it's all gone.
