At noon, Shi Xiulan made a lot of good dishes, yesterday's fish and shrimp, crabs were used, especially the fried grass shrimp, looking at the red Tongtong wrapped in a layer of burnt puff pastry, not on the table, the three little guys have been eyeing it. The crab is steamed, with a lot of ingredients, and a bottle of ancient rice wine on the table.

At noon, Li Feng accompanied Mangu and drank two cups, several children loaded a big crab each, Shi Xiulan taught on the side, and several children learned in a good way. It's a pity that the tools are not complete, Li Feng has seen others eat crabs before, a set of tools is complete, and the food is elegant. The way of eating and drinking is divided into civil and martial arts, the pleasure of eating and eating, the food is a tool, and it is two crabs that are used at this time, which Shi Xiulan bought in the supermarket yesterday. As you can see, the two-piece tool is quite easy to use and doesn't require much.

"Hehe, baby, you can't take it like this." Li Feng saw his little girl wielding a scoop and inserting it into the crab shell, so he hurriedly stopped it, this plastic scoop is not made of stainless steel and is not afraid of breaking. Li Feng took out pliers to cut off the unwanted part and pried open the crab shell, this is a female crab, get rid of it and can't eat it, revealing the yellow and clear crab roe, this is the most delicious and nutritious thing on the crab, the crab roe is rich in protein, phospholipids and other nutrients, rich in nutrition, and children eat the best. Of course, the elderly try to eat male crabs, although crab roe is nutritious, contains a lot of oil and cholesterol, the elderly eat it is not very good for the body. Although the male crab has no crab roe and crab paste, this thing is not worse than crab roe, and there is an old saying in the past, "Nine females and ten males." "It means to eat female crabs in September, male crabs in October, and now it is the beginning of the ninth lunar month, which is really a good time to eat female crabs.

"It's still Xiaobao, this person is old and his hands and feet are not flexible." Shi Xiulan helped Qi Qi to make a crab, she was already a little tired, but the bell was quite capable, she had already started eating, and after eating the crab roe, she began to eat crab meat. Li Feng thought that maybe his grandfather often made crabs, and his grandfather's house had a table of eight crabs, a total of four sets, all of which were made of silver.

"Dad, Huang Dongdong is so delicious." Li Baobao used a small digging spoon to dig the crab roe into his mouth little by little, let's dazzle, Meimei eats, even the seasoning is not needed, and the steamed crab is put into the pot with some specific crabs, but it makes the crab roe flavorful. Although Li Feng said that he is not a eater, this crab knows a lot, there are not many others in the mountains, there are at least three kinds of river crabs, mountain crabs, and then there are hairy crabs, and there are many kinds of crabs, and this way of eating is different. However, the efficacy of the eight crabs is almost the same, Li Feng went to his grandfather's house when he was a child, and his grandfather taught some.

"Hehe, Xiaobao knows the origin of these tools." As a history teacher, Mangu knows a lot about some literati anecdotes, and often talks to his daughter and grandson at home. Eating and drinking, not necessarily for the sake of eating and drinking, sometimes some stories, anecdotes, and good stories of the ancients are a little redundant to eat.

Li Feng smiled slightly, maybe he doesn't know much else, but he still knows something about the eight crabs. Speaking of which, the history of the appearance of this thing is not very long, but it is only in the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is said that in the past, literati and scholars ate and drank, which could not be compared with ordinary people. People don't have to think about time when they eat and drink, they have time, they always have to find something to do when they eat and drink, they can't just eat and drink, how cheesy it is.

This crab is also so general, the literati eat crabs and call the crabs, people are cultural enjoyment, when appreciating chrysanthemums and poems and crabs, everyone has a set of special tools. The first person who invented the use of tools to eat crabs was a man named Caoshu in the Ming Dynasty, this person was a person who loved to eat crabs, usually ate too much, and always felt that the action of eating crabs was not elegant enough, and it took a lot of effort, and he could not enjoy eating with everyone. In order to eat refreshably, and to be able to enjoy with everyone, and to eat elegantly, this man invented hammers, knives, pliers, and gradually invented eight pieces. "Although our ancestors began to eat crabs more than 2,000 years ago, this tool was still used after the Ming Dynasty. Li Feng said with a smile, while helping a few children to open the crab shell and clamp the crab legs, the little guy was not strong enough. The design of these pliers is not exquisite, but it costs three or two yuan, and now it is only a few dozen dollars to make eight pieces of crabs made of stainless steel, but few people use it. Compared with the past, there are many worse ones, and in the past, small landlords had several sets of crab eating tools at home.

"Yes, these eight pieces of waist round hammer, small square table, tweezers, axe, spoon, fork, scraper, needle. Nowadays, it is rarely used. Mangu sighed, eight crabs are actually not much, but now few people have this kung fu, and there are fewer people who really taste crabs.

"But no, the literati also have a style of elegance when eating, this crab-eating tool crab three pieces (ding, stick, hammer), four, six, eight, ten, twelve, and later developed to the heyday of the most set of crab-eating tools as many as sixty-four. The ancients' requirements for eating and drinking were at the peak. Li Feng only knows a little about the eight crabs, but for the top way to eat, sixty-four pieces of this kind of extreme food, I yearn for it, where is this to eat, it is completely an extreme culture, not only crabs, but also 5,000 years of cultural accumulation.

"Xiaobao, say good, the ancients didn't do it for food, but for elegance, it's really fascinating." The old man is a bit of a literati.

"You, really, eat, what to do, baby, don't listen to your grandfather, eat more, eat fat and cute." Shi Xiulan glanced at her wife angrily, what to say, eat.

"Hehe, uncle, come, we're drinking one." Li Feng smiled and held his wine glass, the old man glanced at each other, laughed, drank wine and ate food.

Speaking of crab eight pieces, quite interesting, crab eight pieces include a small square table, waist round hammer, long-handled axe, long-handled fork, round-headed scissors, tweezers, drills, small spoons, respectively, there are pads, knocks, splits, forks, scissors, clips, picks, sheng and other functions, beautiful shape, shiny luster, delicate and exquisite, easy to use. The crab is steamed and cooked and served on the table, steaming, the crab eater puts the crab on the small square table, uses round-tipped scissors to cut off two large claws and eight crab legs one by one, gently beats the waist hammer around the crab shell, and then splits the back shell and navel with a long-handled axe, and then takes a drill, tweezers, fork, hammer, or pick or clip or fork or knock, take out the golden butter bright crab roe or milky white sticky crab paste, take out the snow-white and tender crab meat, use each tool in turn, one function after another, as if playing a melody of frustration. When you scoop the dipping sauce with a small spoon and eat it with the shell, it is really a fairy-like pleasure with endless flavors.

Li Feng and the old man talked about eight interesting things, the more the two chatted, the more speculative they became, Shi Xiulan saw Li Feng and the old man of her family laughing, and she liked Li Feng more and more, the teacher liked students who studied well the most, and she didn't want her daughter to marry a person who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it. Besides, my grandson, if I have a father who doesn't understand anything, what will I do if I study in the future? Xiaoying is so busy again, she can't accompany her every day.

"Xiaobao, don't you know, this crab eight pieces still have some significance in us during the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. At that time, it was a dowry for a daughter. The old man was quite proud, pointing to the baby with a digging spoon, and said with a smile. Folklore has it that in the late Qing Dynasty, the daughter of a wealthy merchant was married. According to the custom of the time, the day before the makeup was made, all the dowries were decorated with red silk and placed on the street for the neighbors to enjoy. Wealthy businessmen also happened to take the opportunity to show off. On this day, the dowry is very lively. In the endless praise, there was a craftsman who said: "The dowry is ninety-nine, and if you add one more 'crab eight', it will be perfect!" When the rich merchant heard this, he felt that he was reasonable, and asked the craftsman to make "eight crabs" overnight that night. On the second day, the "Eight Pieces of Crabs" written with the words "Feihuang Tengda" were watched and appreciated by people at the man's house, causing a sensation. So, in the future, when Su Zhou married his daughter, they all liked to take "eight crabs" as one of the dowries. ..., "Grandma, what is a dowry, the baby also wants it." The baby Meimei was eating crab roe, but her little ears were listening to her father and grandpa talking, and when she heard about the dowry, the little girl couldn't help but ask.

"Okay, okay, when our baby gets married, it's okay to make a lot of crabs." A few adults laughed, so that the girl has her own business.

"Then the baby still needs big crabs, a lot of crabs." The little girl stretched out her little arm hard, and with a gesture, Li Feng scratched the little girl's nose.

"Dad raised a pond crab for you, it's small, do you know what it means to marry and what to dowry." Li Feng hung his little nose and cleaned up some inedible things in the crabs on the side, removed the crab lungs, crab hearts, crab stomachs and crab intestines, and bent the crab body to both sides, so that the crab roe could be eaten. Not only the hairs on both sides of these crab meats, remove them quickly, and use pliers to crack the pliers, Li Feng finished such a set, and first handed it to the two old people, the child.

"Dad, you eat." The baby saw that his father was busy for a long time and didn't eat a bite, the little girl dug a big spoonful of crab roe with a scoop, the best taste, Dad must like to eat, Li Feng smiled, opened his mouth and waited for the baby to feed himself. "Wow, the baby is feeding Dad, Dad is ashamed, and the baby doesn't want Mom to feed him."

"Xiaobao, don't be busy, come on, eat vegetables." The more Shi Xiulan looked, the more she liked Li Feng, a child, who was honest and honest, and his education level was not low, he didn't say anything to the child, the old man didn't say anything, every time he came over to bring a lot of local products, now such a child is really rare.

"Yes, Xiaobao, eat vegetables, let's have a few more drinks." Mangu usually has no one to accompany him to drink, is it possible that someone is happy to accompany him today, and today he is earning enough face in front of a few old brothers.
