Chapter 190: Promoting Food
"There are a few hairy crabs here, you can take them home and eat them. Our family couldn't eat that much. Dad raised his hand and signaled that the hairy crabs in his hand were given to Mo Yan.
"Wow, these hairy crabs are not small, they must be rare. I can't ask for it. Mo Yan resolutely refused.
"These are the ones that those children picked up in the river of the ranch, and now this thing is everywhere, grab a lot of goods, and they are not from China, you can take them and eat them casually."
Dad said in a relaxed tone, although strictly speaking, all the output in the ranch is considered to be Shi Lei's master's things, but what does it matter if others go to get a few to eat.
"Huh? Do we still have hairy crabs in the river here? Mo Yan asked in disbelief. Shi Lei explained the possible reasons next to him, and Mo Yan understood why there were hairy crabs here.
"Thank you Brother Shi for your kindness, but our family is not oral, and we are allergic to seafood things, especially this kind of seafood with a carapace, and after eating, the whole body is itchy and red spots, so we never eat seafood." Mo Yan resolutely excused himself again, and now his father couldn't continue to let go. Mo Yan then said goodbye and left.
"Well, why don't we take Guoguo to find the monkey tonight, and you can follow the monkey or stick to the monkey, so that Guoguo can experience a different fun." Father Shi Yi mentioned yƬ a little proudly, and pulled Shi Lei back from his memories.
["Okay, I think let's just call the cowboys on the ranch and look for it, and come back just in time to introduce them to the two delicacies of steamed hairy crab and fried monkey."] Let these uninformed earth leopards see the profound knowledge of the big foodie people. Shi Lei smiled and said.
"Well, I'll see. You have to mingle with the cowboys, so they can work for you sincerely. Besides, is this considered a prestige for our people? Dad smiled and agreed.
"By the way, you can put these two dishes on the recipe of the private restaurant, and go back to your mother."
This meal at noon. Under the eager expectation of Guoguo, the freshest big hairy crab was the first to be served, and the family put down other dishes first, and concentrated on eliminating these guys who were still rampant before.
The crystal clear and gold-colored crab roe is the focus of everyone's strategy, and the nutritional value of this thing is undoubtedly the highest in the whole crab, so everyone invariably evens out some. Placed it on Guoguo's plate.
My sister and brother-in-law also took away the crab claws and crab claws that were relatively difficult to gnaw in the fruit bowl, leaving only the most essential part, and also let Guoguo eat less cold crab meat, saving me more stomach trouble, and repeatedly told Guoguo to eat it with Zhenjiang balsamic vinegar with minced ginger.
It is not easy to find red Zhejiang vinegar, but the relatively famous Zhenjiang balsamic vinegar is easier to find, and it is also very delicious to eat with hairy crabs. While using minced ginger to alleviate some of the cold, it also brings out the sweetness of the hairy crab meat.
After Meimei ate this fat crab, everyone began to eat the main meal. Everyone's chopsticks are also more on the fried monkey that has just come out of the pot, and after a while, all the monkeys on this flat plate will enter everyone's stomach. The ingredients are fresh. In addition, it just came out of the pot, and it felt different when it tasted, and everyone couldn't help but chatter a few more chopsticks.
Seeing this situation, my mother planned to fry it again, so that everyone could persuade it together. I just ate such a big crab, and I was half-full, and I can eat a little more food. For the fried monkey, it is also a fresh picture.
"If you still want to eat, let's go to the woods to find some monkeys in the woods at night, Mo Yan said that there are a lot of monkeys here, and you can find a pot in one night."
Let's keep the rest of it, and let these cowboys in the ranch taste it when it's fried at night, and so are the crabs, if you want them to eat them, you have to catch some more, but judging from the fact that these children can catch so much, it should be very easy to catch. "Dad mentioned this event by the way.
"Okay, okay, I'm going to catch the monkey, my mother's students have said it many times, saying that catching the monkey is fun, I haven't played yet." Guoguo clapped his hands happily next to him, and was the first to express his approval. "And my mother didn't take me to catch the monkey before." Guoguo pouted to express her dissatisfaction with her mother.
"That's because in the previous time, the monkeys were still sleeping underground, and only now this season, they will come out to breathe, because they are going to grow up, and they will become flying Zhizhi." Sister Shi Lan patiently explained beside her.
"Really?" Guoguo looked at Shi Lei, who was his uncle, Shi Lei couldn't help but smile, nodded very seriously, and expressed his affirmation.
"Oh, well. But this time, I found the monkey, and I must go. Guoguo waved his little fist and said very resolutely.
"Okay, I'm sure I'll take you with me tonight, but you'll have to wear your pants and gown, or you'll get a lot of pesky bugs crawling on you." The sister took the opportunity to ask Guoguo to agree to her instructions.
"Well, I'll get dressed, or I'll go pick a nice dress to wear now." As she spoke, she ran to pull her clothes.
Last time I was in New York, everyone invariably chose some new clothes for Guoguo, so many new clothes made Guoguo stinky and beautiful for several days, and she always had to change her new clothes to wear, and she had to change several sets a day, and this time she had the opportunity to change clothes, of course she was more active than anyone else.
"By the way, in the afternoon I plan to organize all the people on the ranch to have another dinner on the lawn in front of the door, and each family can have one or two specialties, or a few plates of desserts. As the master of the family, and we are recognized as masters of cooking, we must have to make a few more dishes.
I also told my dad before, and I just took this opportunity to let them realize the deliciousness of monkeys and hairy crabs, so that these unseen old beauties can experience the different charm of our Chinese food. Let them see for a long time.
In addition to these two dishes, let's get a few more, but it's a pity that I've been in New York for so long, and I don't have any prepared cookies or anything at home, so I can save some trouble.
As for the things that have been found, let's put them after the dinner, so that they can see the delicious taste of the monkeys, and they will have the motivation to find them. Shi Lei proudly announced his idea.
After Shi Lei finished announcing. Everyone went to take a lunch break, so we had to recharge our batteries for the evening's activities.
After returning under Hanks' leadership, the cowboys all returned to their homes to prepare for the dinner. Soon they brought their families together and gathered on the lawn in front of the main house with a piece of their own specialty dishes.
Shi Lei had already turned on the lights on the main house, and there were light sources everywhere around the lawn and next to the swimming pool, which was originally designed as a very important night gathering place, so the lawn is now as bright as day.
The cowboys put the dishes they contributed to the table covered with white cloth, and several big dishes from Shi Lei's house had already been served. In addition to knowing monkeys and hairy crabs. There are also a few hard dishes made with various meats produced in the pasture, which is enough to show the sincerity of Shi Lei, the master.
In addition, according to the usual custom, a campfire and a set of BBQ equipment are indispensable, of course, these are done by the cowboys themselves.
After the dinner began, the cowboys were a little emotional when they saw the meat from various pastures that appeared on the table. They didn't feel much before, but now that they know the value of the ingredients from these farms, it's very rare to see them on their tables.
They may not be able to remember the exact price, but after learning from Hanks that the price is more expensive than the top Wagyu. They felt that such a fantastic price of beef must be far away from them.
And now that these ingredients still appeared in front of them, they really felt the generosity of Shi Lei, the boss. At the same time, a sense of pride also arises, these expensive top ingredients are all raised by them.
And there's one thing that excites them. This year's bonus will definitely be a happy number, as far as the ranch's current income is concerned, Shi Lei doesn't give them a big red envelope, and he can't be embarrassed.
And see the two new dishes. The cowboys were very confused and didn't dare to start, but Mo Yan and his wife certainly didn't have any concerns, they would have tasted the monkey. They didn't dare to touch the hairy crabs helplessly, so they could only watch dryly.
Still, they tried to show the other cowboys that it was delicious. The only cowboy who ate two dishes without seeing it was Hanks, and the others were still watching.
Seeing this, Shi Lei walked in front of the two dishes, and after attracting everyone's attention, Shi Lei began to introduce these two dishes.
"This little thing, should be known to many cowboys, this is the larva of the cicada, the taste is very crispy after frying, there is absolutely no bad taste, I believe that as long as you are brave enough to eat the first bite, you will not be able to help but continue to eat."
Here's a friendly reminder that these have some small paws, so you have to chew them slowly, so you can taste them better. And it's good for the human body, it's good for the eyes, and it's better for the man, you know. Shi Lei raised his eyebrows at the cowboys, and made a look that all men know.
"As for this crab, I don't know if you have noticed, in the waters within the ranch, there are already many such crabs, they are hairy crabs from foodie countries, yes, they are a freshwater crab, but believe me, they taste no worse than Dungenes crabs.
Dungenes crabs are so rare, they are delicious that you can pick up when you bend down, and they are big enough now, one pound a foot is definitely enough to eat. Shi Lei said as he ate it demonstratively.
Seeing that Shi Lei ate so fragrantly, especially after the fragrance of crab roe came out, the cowboys started to move. Their families may still have some concerns, but the cowboys, who have always been bold, are not so resistant to trying new things. Hanks, in particular, had been eating these things for a long time, and you could tell how delicious they were by looking at the way he enjoyed them.
Seeing that everyone finally took the first step bravely, since they started eating, Shi Lei didn't have to worry that they didn't have the motivation to continue eating, the ingredients themselves are very distinctive, coupled with my mother's exquisite cooking skills, I believe it is enough to conquer their stomachs, and their tongues that are not very picky.
Shi Lei also wanted to take advantage of the relaxed atmosphere of this dinner to ask these cowboys some questions. (To be continued......) R1292
