Chapter 184: The Battle with the Crab
Jiang Hua led the way, and Lin Zeng followed behind and entered through the back door of the villa. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info Behind Lin Zeng was Ah Bao with Xiao Saike in his mouth.
Ah Bao's small body was hung in Ah Bao's mouth, and he was honest and innocent with bright eyes.
Jiang Hua walked to the entrance of the cellar and did not lift the wooden door of the cellar, but picked up two large buckets placed near the wooden door.
"Before you came, my friend just sent it, people in this area of Qinghe, the crab they eat in autumn the most, also known as sturgeon, also known as sturgeon crab, red sturgeon. Jiang Hua said as he carried the two buckets to the kitchen, and Lin Zeng didn't even have time to help him.
Waiting for Jiang Hua to lift the lid of the bucket, Lin Zeng put down the things in his hand and rolled up his sleeves, ready to help deal with the crabs.
Lin Zeng has lived in inland cities since he was a child, the price of fish and crabs is high, and when his parents are still alive, he also eats crabs several times a year. When you survive alone, let alone eat crabs, you can't even afford to eat pork a few times a year.
When he arrived in Qinghe City, he learned that shrimp and crabs here are not expensive to eat by the sea, and the most ordinary people also buy sea crabs several times a month to try them. When he was working at a supermarket, he also occasionally bought pike crabs from supermarket specials.
I don't know how to pick it, but I taste it, and it's really delicious.
The red sturgeon mentioned by Jiang Hua was once seen in the aquatic area of the supermarket, but it was not as big as in a bucket, three or four taels in size, about 40 yuan a catty. And this kind of big man with more than a pound is basically not available in supermarkets, and you have to go to the special aquatic product area of the farmers' market to buy it, and the price per catty is 80 yuan.
Lin Zeng looked at the big sturgeon crab lying quietly and honestly in the bucket, the shell was dark green, and the two huge pincers were round and fat, full of power at a glance. For now, however, their pliers were tied with straw ropes, and they could not move.
A rough estimate shows that there are at least a dozen buckets in one. They are covered in mud and look very fresh.
Jiang Hua pinched the straw and lifted one, took a large pair of scissors from the kitchen wall, and with a click, cut the straw that bound the giant sturgeon.
This sturgeon crab, whose shell was almost the size of Lin Zeng's palm, was liberated, and it immediately opened its teeth and claws, full of arrogance. Especially the two particularly large crab claws, waving wildly. was poked into the sink by Jiang Hua's chopsticks, and kept swinging, trying to escape.
Jiang Hua's expression was calm, obviously not the first time he had dealt with this kind of crab.
She took a toothbrush and quickly brushed back and forth on the sturgeon, no matter where the fat-looking crab went, she couldn't escape her toothbrush to bathe.
Turn on the faucet and rinse the crab violently, and the thin mud on the crab flows into the sewer.
In the blink of an eye, the sturgeon crab was cleaned.
As a bystander, Lin Zeng had to admit that Jiang Hua looked like a martial arts master holding a toothbrush, facing the crazy attack of the crab, seeing the moves, the sword light and sword shadow, and he was at ease.
After bathing the crab, Jiang Hua casually took a pair of long chopsticks from the stove, clamped it hard, and the big crab was lifted into the steamer.
Jiang Hua proceeded to work on the second crab.
The two stood side by side in front of the cooking table, two dogs, one big and one small, circling around their legs.
"Can I help?" asked Lin Zeng very curiously.
"Try it?" Jiang Hua raised his eyebrows and handed the toothbrush in his hand to Lin Zeng.
Lin Zeng looked at the simple and relaxed posture of Jiang Hua, and thought that it was not difficult.
Bring out the toothbrush and quickly brush it towards the mouthparts of the crab that need to be cleaned the most.
But before the crab was touched, the toothbrush had already been caught by the big crab, and it was clamped fiercely, and the two pliers locked the toothbrush tightly.
is so ruthless, if a person's hand is unfortunately caught, I am afraid that I will cry again and again, and a row of blood holes will appear on my fingers, and I can't shake it off.
Lin Zeng was speechless and lifted the toothbrush, the crab persevered, hanging in the air, very stubborn, clamping on one end of the toothbrush, refusing to let go.
Jiang Hua laughed openly on the side, as if he had already expected this situation.
Shaking his head helplessly, Lin Zeng let go of the toothbrush, and the big crab fell into the sink with a click.
Jiang Hua smiled sullenly, took out another clean toothbrush from the cupboard, and began her invincible crab washing method.
"When ordinary people wash crabs, the crab claws do not untie the rope, or directly insert chopsticks into the top of the sturgeon crab's belly navel, wait for the crab's legs to be straightened, and then wash them carefully, and immediately steam them in the pot. Jiang Hua is like playing, brushing the crabs one by one, her movements are smooth and graceful, no matter how fast the crabs are, she can find the loopholes of the ten crab claws that are constantly attacking, and accurately brush the toothbrush to the position, "I mainly think it's fun, so I wash it like this, haha." ā
Lin Zeng looked at the sky speechlessly.
To clean a crab, just stack it in a steamer, a steamer, and put four large sturgeon crabs just right.
Jiang Hua took out three steamers from the cupboard and steamed twelve sturgeon crabs.
"Boil water for seven minutes, and the crab meat is the most tender. It was the fat security guard at the school who told us the trick. Jiang Hua fired, clapped his palms and said.
In addition to steaming sturgeon crabs, Jiang Hua also prepared a staple dish of sturgeon crabs, which she said was a special practice in Feng County, a subordinate part of Qinghe.
The sturgeon crab is cleaned, the shell is peeled, processed clean, cut in half, stacked on top of glutinous rice, and steamed to produce delicious sturgeon rice.
In the process of continuous steaming, the glutinous rice absorbs the thick soup juice flowing out of the sturgeon crab, and each grain is slightly light brown.
At this time, prepare shiitake mushrooms, dried scallops, dried shrimp, green beans, diced carrots, shredded lean pork and other ingredients, mix with glutinous rice that absorbs the braised crab soup, and finally wrap them in fresh lotus leaves, and steam them quickly for 20 minutes.
Jiang Hua carried the sticky rice and all the ingredients into the lotus leaves and steamed them on the pot of the induction cooker. On the other stove, two pots of crabs have been steamed.
A whole twenty-four large sturgeon crabs with multiple colors of one pound are stacked in large pots, which looks very spectacular. The crab fragrance in the room makes people's mouths water.
At this time, Lin Zeng suddenly remembered his gift.
He walked around the corner and took out the bag of gifts.
"Jiang Hua, you invited me to eat crabs, and I also brought you good things. "Lin Zeng sold a pass.
"Huh?" the sturgeon rice was steamed in the pot, and Jiang Hua stood by the stove, curiosity written on his face.
"This is the first one. Lin Zeng took out the box containing the lychee wine and handed it to Jiang Hua.
Jiang Hua was not polite, and when he opened it, he saw a colorful plant bottle, somewhat like a bottle of pitcher plant. Gently poked the appearance, the texture was slightly hard, and there was no deformation.
"I won't tell you what this thing is, you can guess first, and I'll announce the answer when we have dinner later. Lin Zeng continued to take out the strawberry fruit and the strawberry seedling of the harvest goddess from the bag, "This is a strawberry seedling suitable for indoor planting, this is its strawberry fruit." ā
Jiang Hua's eyes lit up suddenly, and said: "You got good seeds again? I will take you to see me and the tomatoes and vegetables you gave me, recently I have lived in the city from Monday to Friday, I can only use automatic drip irrigation to water, I have not picked and eaten, and when I returned to the farm on Saturday, I saw that they were all crazy." The first thing I do when I come back every Saturday morning is to pick the tomatoes first. I can pick seven or eight pounds every time. ā
"Haha," Lin Zeng was amused by Jiang Hua's happy and troubled expression, and finally took out the lotus plate bowl from the bag, "This is the most special gift, the lotus leaf plate, the lotus bowl." (To be continued.) )
