"Lao Zhang, the wine has been bought. At this time, the fat man walked in from outside with a bundle of beer.

"Hey, is it hot, how can I see the sweat on your face?" the fat man glanced at Lao Zhang and said in surprise.

"Hey, I'm in the boss's hands. Lao Zhang snatched the beer from the fat man's hand, bit the bottle cap and poured it full.

"I've already warned you, if you take a bite just now, your mouth will be swollen. Liu Mang said with a smile.

The crayfish in the pot was steaming hot, and Liu Mang scooped up a little soup with a frying spoon and tasted it.

"Well, it's just right. Liu Mang nodded, put the lid on the pot again, turned around and walked to the refrigerator, and poured the crushed ice cubes that had been prepared early in the morning into a large bowl.

"Lao Zhang, how is your sister's tuition?" the fat man sat down at the bar and bit down on a bottle of beer with his teeth.

"Hey, don't mention it, this month's performance is not good, I guess I have to go to Sesame to borrow some money first. ”

"It's okay, my performance this month is okay, it's no problem to help you with a few thousand. The fat man took a sip of his beer and replied.

"What's so embarrassing about that, don't you have to send money home every month?" Lao Zhang touched his forehead with his hand and said.

"What's this, my mother is saving money to help me marry a wife, it doesn't matter if I don't send it for a month. ”

"Thank you very much. Lao Zhang raised the bottle and touched it with the fat man.

"Well, it should be about the same. After waiting for about ten minutes, Liu Mang lifted the lid of the pot.

The stewed crayfish soup in the pot has almost been collected, and the aroma with a slightly choking and spicy sensation comes to the face.

Liu Mang removed the pot from the stove and poured the lobster inside into a bowl full of ice cubes.

"Boss, is this all right?" the fat man asked, licking his lips.

"Not yet, we'll have to wait. Liu Mang brought the bowl of lobster to the bar, looked at the wall clock on the wall, and said.

"How long do I have to wait, can I try one first?" The fat man picked up a pair of chopsticks and stared at the lobster in the big bowl, a little impatient.

"No!" Liu Mang simply refused: "Why is the chilled crayfish called ice-cold? It is necessary to use ice cubes to completely cool the lobster, and wait until the meat of the lobster is suddenly heated and cold, so that its taste is full of elasticity and the flavor of the condiment can penetrate in." ”

"Okay, okay, then I'll wait. The fat man put down his chopsticks stupidly, stared at the lobster in front of him, and drank beer.

"Come, Lao Zhang, let's go again. The fat man held up the bottle.

"Okay. There was a soft thud, and the beer bottles slammed together. The foam overflowed from the mouth of the bottle, and the mellow yellow liquid "gurgled" down the Adam's apple.

"Lao Zhang, I heard others say, you have written poems before?"

"Hey, that was written in college. Lao Zhang pushed his glasses and replied.

"Read two songs to listen. The fat man laughed.

"What, who can remember? Besides, at this age, there is no poetry, there is only firewood, rice, oil, salt and the burden of life. Lao Zhang's face was silent.

"You're really, so pessimistic. The fat man smiled and raised the bottle again.

"You can start eating. After waiting for half an hour, Liu Mang said.

"Ah, is it finally okay?" The fat man, who had already killed two bottles of beer with Lao Zhang, rubbed his hands and became excited.

"Well, okay. Liu Mang nodded and handed over two pairs of plastic gloves.

"Lao Zhang, give!" The fat man handed a pair of gloves to Lao Zhang, and he hurriedly brought another pair and grabbed a crayfish from the basin.

"Wait, do you know the right way to eat?" asked Liu Mang.

"The right way to eat?" The fat man was stunned: "Didn't you twist your tail off, suck it, and then peel your shell and eat it?"

"Of course not. Liu Mang shook his head, took a pair of gloves and put them on: "Look, I'll only demonstrate once." Liu Mang pinched a crayfish: "The first step is to peel off the shrimp claws, twist them along the joints at the end of the pliers, and eat the shrimp meat inside." ”

After speaking, Liu Mang pinched the crayfish's pincers with his hand and twisted it, and a piece of pink shrimp meat was exposed.

"Wow, and this routine? I used to eat crayfish, and the tongs were thrown away. ”

"Next, pinch the shell and tail. Liu Mang finished eating the meat in the two tongs and pinched it with both hands.

"The advantage of this is that the shrimp meat and shell can be separated, and the shell will be better peeled. ”

"It's so exquisite!" Lao Zhang praised.

"Again, it's just a slight twist to separate the shrimp head from the shrimp body. ”

With a "click", Liu Mang pulled the shrimp tail out of the shrimp head: "Do you see this yellow thing? This is the shrimp brain, and it is also the most essential part of the crayfish, so you must not miss it." ”

Bringing it to his mouth and sipping it gently, Liu Mang sucked the shrimp yellow above the shrimp tail: "In the end, it's simple, just pull out the shrimp meat and eat it." ”

"Boss, you are really a connoisseur! You are a natural foodie!" the fat man and Lao Zhang felt sincerely admired.

"What is this, of course you will do it, you will eat it. Liu Mang put down the shrimp shell and took the gloves off his hands: "You eat slowly, call me again when it's not enough." ”

"Okay!" the fat man responded, and immediately reached out to take a crayfish from the bowl, learning the eating method that Liu Mang had just taught, first eating tongs and then sucking the shrimp yellow, and finally sending the peeled shrimp tail into his mouth.

"Hey, it's really spicy, but it's really enjoyable!" the fat man's eyes narrowed.

The entrance of the shrimp tail is slightly cool at first, and the shrimp meat is tender and delicious, as if it is still active, just a bite will jump between the teeth.

When the flavor of the condiment and the cool sensation dissipate on the tip of the tongue, the spicy sensation hidden in the shrimp immediately rises at the base of the tongue and rushes straight to the nose.

This process is like experiencing a baptism of ice and fire, which is simply amazing.

"Cool! It's so cool!" Lao Zhang finished eating a lobster and immediately picked up the beer bottle: "Lobster with beer, it's so cool!"

The fat man and Lao Zhang were eating lobster, drinking beer, and bragging at the same time, and in the end, they actually leaned their shoulders together.

Looking at these two people, Liu Mang in the back kitchen suddenly felt a feeling and couldn't help laughing.

Crayfish is delicious, but you have to peel off the stiff shell first, just like between people, you must first remove each other's disguises, so that there is no barrier between you.

It just so happened that these two things were in these few square places, so it happened so naturally.

"Fatty, I think it was right that I didn't want to be a poet. Coming out of Liu Mang's shop, Lao Zhang put his arm around the fat man's shoulders and said.

"For ...... Why?" asked the fat man, who had drunk a little too much, with his tongue wide open.

"Because such an ordinary and ordinary life, like the boss's crayfish, is more precious and flavorful than poetry and dreams, and they are our most precious things. ”
