Chapter 168: Eating Crabs

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business, we're going to a place today," Yan Yan almost forgot about business.

"Where to go? Is it just the two of us? Ye Xuan looked at Yan Yan expectantly.

"What do you think?" Yan Yan's face was slightly red, and Yan Yan pushed Ye Xuan, "Let's go here for business." ”

"Yes, yes, let's go!" Ye Xuan said with a smile, wanting to hold Yan Yan's shoulder, but Yan Yan took a few steps to dodge, after all, Yan Shaojie was downstairs, the Yan family didn't know about this, Yan Yan had a feeling of early love hiding from his parents.

The two took a carriage to the place where the fishermen gathered, Yan Yan wanted to inquire to see if there was anyone who specialized in catching crabs, that's right, Yan Yan came to the idea of catching crabs again after beating crayfish.

"Crab? I also eat a lot in Suzhou," Yexuan didn't hear Yan Yan talk about her plan, so there were still doubts about this crab business, but with the experience of crayfish, Yexuan was still looking forward to the surprise brought by Yan Yan.

"Really? How do you usually eat? Yan Yan asked curiously.

"It's usually boiled, what? Do you have a better idea? Ye Xuan looked at Yan Yan and said.

"Confidential!" Yan Yan knew that the people here had good ingredients, but they lacked good cooking skills, and they spoiled these seafoods, so Yan Yan planned to surprise Ye Xuan when the time came, and he wanted to eat it after eating it!

"You!" Although Ye Xuan was curious, he also knew that Yan Yan would definitely say it when he should say it, so he had to endure his curiosity.

"Uncle. Remember me? Yan Yan saw the man Uncle Niu was looking for last time, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"Yo, isn't this the daughter of the Yan family?" The man still has a deep memory of the Yan family's children. "What's the matter with coming here?"

"I really let you say, I came here today to catch some crabs, who are more suitable?" It's better to ask the fishermen here than to look for them yourself.

Although Bai Hao has always been in charge of the crayfish here, because Yan Yan and they came to buy a lot last time, the fishermen here are still very polite to her.

"We have a few people here who often catch, what crab do you want?"

"So be it. You take me to catch it, and I'll see how the crabs are doing. ”

"Okay, I'll call someone!" The man raised his voice and shouted a few words. Several men immediately waved to Yan Yan, and then went to prepare the boat. Ye Xuan and Yan Yan sat on a simple fishing boat, and the fishermen took them to the place where they caught crabs.

"Our flower crabs, river crabs, and blue crabs here are all good," said the man who held the boat. "Which one do you want?"

"Of course there are several!" Whether it's crayfish or crabs. At the very least, you need a few varieties, you can't just sell one thing in one store, right? No matter how delicious it is, the customers are limited. And different crabs have different practices, so isn't this more attractive to customers?

"Then let's catch more, you see?"

"Okay, that's it!" Ye Xuan and Yan Yan sat on the boat and watched the men catch crabs, and those crabs ran fast! If you are not careful, you will not only be unable to catch it. And it will be caught, which is painful and painful.

In the end, Ye Xuan and Yan Yan caught a lot of crabs and went back. Yan Yan plans to cook a crab feast for everyone to eat, and also let Yexuan see how the crabs she makes are different from those in Suzhou.

First of all, a spicy crab, wash and marinate in wine for ten minutes, peel and cut the lettuce and lotus root, pour oil, put in Sichuan pepper, dried chili, ginger, garlic and onion and stir-fry until fragrant, then pour in the crab pieces and fry until they turn red, pour in lettuce and lotus root and stir-fry, add chili sauce, salt, sugar, soy sauce and water, simmer for a while on high heat to reduce the juice and then put it on the pot.

Next, let's make a sauce to fry the blue crab, chop the blue crab into pieces, wrap it in flour, put it in the oil pan, fry the oil in the pot directly with ginger and shallots, and add tomato sauce, sweet sauce and light soy sauce (the tomato sauce here is the tomato puree made by Yan Yan, no way, there is no tomato sauce here, so I have to make do with it), boil for a while, add crab pieces and stir-fry (be careful not to stick to the pan when stir-frying), and finally thicken it is completed.

Then there is a steamed crab, wash and bundle the crab or poke the heart of the crab with chopsticks, put the ginger slices at the bottom of the steamer, and then put the blue crab and steam it for fifteen minutes, cut the red pepper into rings, mince the chives, mash the garlic cloves, mince the ginger slices, pour in the white vinegar and half submerge, add a spoonful of melted sugar water (if you like to eat spicy, you can leave it out), drop a few drops of sesame oil, add a small spoon of soy sauce, stir well, and the crab can be eaten after it comes out of the pot.

Finally, of course, soup is indispensable, a seafood tofu soup; Boil the water in a stone pot, add green onions, tender tofu (cut into small pieces), add shrimp, clams and flower nails, put some chili peppers and chopped green onions, add enoki mushrooms and pickles (Yan Yan's own pickles, spicy and spicy), beat an egg, drizzle sesame oil, add a little salt to start the pot.

"Come on, let's try it!" Yan Yan wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, looked at the dishes on the table, and beckoned Ye Xuan and Yan Shaojie to take a seat.

"Wow! Yan'er, did you do this? Ye Xuan said excitedly, "You are amazing! Yexuan originally wanted to hug Yan Yan, but Yan Yan happened to be standing on Yan Shaojie's side, a little far away from him, so he had to give up.

"Sister, is this a new dish?" Yan Shaojie didn't ask Ye Xuan about Yan Yan's name, and sat down to eat directly.

Yan Yan and Ye Xuan also hurriedly sat down, "By the way, let someone call Bai Hao to come here, I came in a hurry last time, I haven't seen him until now, I don't know what I'm doing?" ”

"Leave him alone! There must be something to do, and when you call him like this, it's hard for him to shirk it, isn't it embarrassing? Ye Xuan hurriedly said, he didn't want Bai Hao to rob him.

"That's right, forget it, let's invite him to eat next time, let's go!" Yan Yan hasn't eaten crab for a long time, she likes the original steamed crab the most, which completely retains the clearness, sweetness and freshness of the crab, which is really delicious!

"Mmmm, it's delicious!" Ye Xuan felt that it was too delicious, so he completely let go of his hands and feet to eat, and he didn't care about his image for a long time.

"My sister's cooking is always so delicious," Yan Shaojie was full of praise for his sister's craftsmanship, "I see, my sister can say anything she thinks directly, this kind of craftsmanship is a delicacy for the guest officer!" ”

"Yan'er, there is absolutely no problem with our plan! You just let it go! I'm sticking with you! Ye Xuan took the time to say a word, hurry up and bury your head in the hard food, it's so delicious!

"Okay, then I'm going to start a new plan! Hehe, "Yan Yan is still confident in her craft, as long as she has everyone's support, her plan can go smoothly, plus Yexuan's collaborator, it seems that the new restaurant is not far away!" (To be continued......)
