Preparation for the crab feast
In the evening, Chu Tao told Liu about eating crabs, Liu thought about it and said, the crabs in Tongqinglou are really good, but they are not as good as those at home, Chu Ying just sent a few baskets of crabs to our house a few days ago, it is better to hold a family banquet and invite relatives and friends to come over and eat crabs, you see it is good.
Liu's little abacus in his heart was in an uproar, because the difference between the first peach and the first peach could not be changed, and the first crab was used to eat crabs at home, but the first peach was not used to it, and it was often used with both hands and feet, which was ridiculous.
If Shi Li saw Chu Tao's stupid appearance, he would not be so frightened that he would run away, so Liu decided to take a good look at Chu Tao, but it really couldn't be done, just let Xiaohong and the others peel it and hand it to Chu Tao to eat.
While thinking about it, Liu happily asked the servant to buy perilla leaves for steaming crabs and special dipping vinegar.
If you want to eat crabs, Chu Tao is still very happy, and this time of the year is the only time to eat crabs, and Chu Tao has already instructed Xiaohong and Xiaozi to prepare a little more crab roe soup dumplings in the past few days.
Chu Ying heard about this, found the Liu family, and said, Aunt is happily confused, the Jiang family is divided, if it is a family banquet, it is not appropriate to invite Shi Li to come over, if you just let the young people play by themselves, it will not be lively, it is better to let the prince come forward to hold a banquet and invite more people.
Liu thought about it and felt that it made sense, and said: "Since they are all invited, then the first orange couple will also be called over to be lively." ”
Hatsuzakura smiled and said, "It's natural. In fact, I also have selfish intentions, I just think that since the three princesses went, the three kings have been depressed all day long, and everyone has lost a lot of weight, so it is good to invite more people to come over and accompany him. ”
"You have a heart. The prince is really ruthless, and his wife will be abolished, and there is no residual affection at all, which is really chilling. This Mid-Autumn Festival, the East Palace is not happy. Liu said.
Chu Ying said indifferently: "What is ruthless, the crown princess can be replaced by many people, there is only one position of the prince, what is not worth it to give up the car to protect the handsome." No matter how bad it is, there are still several school-age girls in the prime minister's family waiting in line to continue the string. I only hate the prince for leaving his responsibilities behind, and not endangering his position in the slightest. ”
"Why, the wind has been ruined, and it is difficult to remedy the past." Liu smiled slightly.
Autumn is in full swing, and it is a good time to eat crabs. There's nothing like a crab. Peeling out the meat carefully, the long taste is like swallowing autumn for several years.
The crab banquet at the Three Kings Mansion is scheduled for two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, which not only has a festive atmosphere, but also does not allow guests to miss the day of reunion with their families.
Dongyi people as early as a hundred years ago the rise of the whole people to eat crabs, to the royal palace down to the market and countryside, are greedy for crabs, every year around the Mid-Autumn Festival hawkers carry a fishy smell in Jinling Restaurant under the stall to sell crabs, often business is not bad.
Dongyi people eat crabs very particularly, often use eight pieces of crabs, people with ordinary family background, with wooden, wealthy families, use more luxurious materials, there are hammers, upsets, tongs, shovels, spoons, forks, scrapers, needles eight pieces, used for pads, knocks, splits, forks, scissors, clips, picks, sheng, some beautifully made crab eight pieces can even be used as a dowry for daughters to marry.
Dongyi also has a famous man who eats crabs, Wang Mo, who is Wang Wan's sister and her father, who stores live crabs in a large vat when the crabs are in season, and feeds them with eggs, so that they can eat until the crabs are on the market the following year, and even the wine of pickled crabs is reluctant to discard and drink bitterly. Eating crabs, Dongyi people are really not crazy and can't survive.
Hatsuzakura is very good at doing things, the crab is the fattest and freshest, and then the flesh of the fresh orange is dug out, mashed with a little fine salt, and made into "orange fish", which is just used as a dipping sauce to eat the crab; The crab roe is also specially prepared, which is very popular nowadays, and the crab meat and crab paste are stuffed together and put back into the shell, covered with a layer of batter, which is extremely delicious.
Chu Tao, who has not been very happy, finally found a thing that made her happy, she remembered that she often ate a fried Xinyi flower in the spring, that is, the most tender Xinyi petals were wrapped in a layer of flour and thrown into the oil pan to fry, so Chu Tao herself wrapped the golden chrysanthemum with a layer of flour and fried it, which looked very ...... Uh, peculiar.
Hatsu Sakura shook the chopsticks twice with her hand, and the chopsticks naturally fell to the ground, and Hatsu Sakura said to herself: "Why did the chopsticks fall, it seems that someone is coming to the house...... Oops, how can you eat chopsticks when they fall on the ground? ”
This strange-colored thing, Hatsuzakura really can't swallow it, and she doesn't even dare to taste it.
In order to make it look more appetizing, Chu Tao also deliberately sprinkled a layer of chili noodles, Xiaohong and Xiaozi looked at each other, have you ever eaten fried chrysanthemums? They bet it was the kind of thing that only Shi Li would be willing to try.
"Sister, don't you want to eat?" Hatsu Tao finally realized that something was wrong.
Xiaohong is about to laugh stupidly, who would dare to eat you like this, do you dare to eat it yourself.
Hatsu Sakura continued to laugh dryly: "How could it be...... My sister asked you, have you ever tasted the fried chrysanthemums you made? ”
"I, no, I'll bring it to you as soon as it's ready." Hatsu Tao said.
Xiaohong said: "Miss, you have to taste it yourself, if it is too delicious, we will eat it all at once, and you will not be able to eat it yourself." ”
"Mm-hmm, that makes sense." Hatsu Momo's confidence in her cooking fan.
Xiaohong took the opportunity to hand over a pair of chopsticks, and Chu Tao took it and took a pair of chopsticks.
With a "click", the petals broke.
"Click" again, and the fried chrysanthemum cracked in half.
Chu Tao was angry, so he picked up the plate and put it in his mouth.
This taste, greasy with a slight fragrance, the fragrance contains a strong bitterness, the crispy texture on the outside is oily and crispy, and the petals inside are neither soft nor crispy, just ......
It's so unpalatable!!
She Jiang Chu peach has grown so big, she has never eaten such a bad thing!!
Chu Tao silently poured out the remaining fried chrysanthemums, but fortunately my sister didn't eat it, otherwise it would be embarrassing to vomit her.
"Well, sister, this crab banquet is held in the Three Kings' Mansion to entertain you, is there a list of guests?" Hatsu Tao asked.
Hatsuzakura hesitated a little: "Yes, yes......"
Chu Tao was so curious that she opened the seat list, and almost at a glance, Chu Tao saw Xue Congjia's name.
"- Sister! What did you invite him to do? Chu Tao picked up the pen and made a few strokes on Xue Congjia's name.
Hatsu Sakura asked the meaning of the three kings when he made the list, and the three kings were actually in no mood to care about this, but he also knew that this was Hatsu Sakura's kindness, and he couldn't bear to refuse.
In Jinling, the three kings didn't have any particularly good friends, so he wrote a few names absentmindedly and wrote Xue Congjia's name easily.
Hatsu Sakura was only deliberately done by the three kings, and finally wrote three or four names, Hatsuzakura can't cross out one, right?
"Sister Peach, this was written by the prince, so I'm embarrassed to disobey him. Although the prince invited, he may not necessarily come. Hatsu Sakura said.
"I'll arrange his seat far away from you, haha, it's okay, just have a meal." Hatsuzakura said with relief.
Xiaohong thought on the side, there is no way, what should come will always come, and there will be no way to hide.
Chu Tao looked at it again, hey, my heavenly grandson Yihao, this deflated calf thing is also coming, it's annoying and annoying. Chu Tao's fingernails directly broke the piece of paper with Sun Yihao's name written on it......
What kind of sin have you created, just on this list, there are two men who can't see it.
Chu Ying said lightly: "He is your brother-in-law, so he will naturally come." Hatsuju is with him, so don't worry. In the palace, no one dares to gossip about you to your face. ”
Chu Tao nodded shyly, anyway, if she didn't say it in person, she would say it behind her back, she didn't care.
"By the way, sister, can you add that Wang Wan's name?" Hatsu Tao said suddenly.
"Wang Wan? Is that Wang Wan? How did you become familiar with her? Hatsuzakura was a little curious.
Chu Tao said: "Isn't she going to marry Xue Ziwen, I see that he is on the banquet list, create some opportunities for them to cultivate their relationship." ”
"Okay, you can add it if you want, it's just multiple seats." Hatsu Sakura said.
After returning from my sister,,Hatsu peach and twist and twist children played with a while.。
Twist has been taken to the palace and gave birth to a litter of kittens, all with white fur and blue eyes, very beautiful.
The first peach gave all the names to the blind, what little leaves, small catches, little fat girls, small ribs......
Xiaohong thinks it's very amazing, because these kittens all look the same, and it is estimated that they can't even tell the twist flowers, and they don't know where Chu Tao has the ability to distinguish these kittens.
Chu Tao picked up a cat called Little Leaf and hummed softly: "The falling flowers don't understand the suffering of the Yi people, who pities the Yi people's feelings." Empty sadness, lonely melancholy, how to solve the desolation of the heart. The wind blows, the heart is cold, and the thoughts are long; Gazing, looking at the river, people break their bowels. The lonely shadow under the moon, the hearts of the people, the same broken intestines, I don't know how sad the heart is. It's the same road to the end of the world, and I don't know where it leads. I just remember the beauty of the moment the flowers bloom. Who knows, the moment the flowers fall, the gut sound ......"
Xiaohong listened attentively and felt that this song was really good, the voice of the first peach was soft and gentle, crisp and soft.
Chu Tao rubbed Xiao Ye's belly and said, "Little Leaf, Little Leaf, you grow up quickly, and help me catch mice when you grow up." ”
"Miss, have you thought about what to wear tomorrow night? There are still a lot of people here tomorrow night, why don't you dress up well and stand with Shi Daren's talented women and envy others? Xiaohong said.
"Help me get two men's outfits, I want to go out for a walk tomorrow night." Hatsu Tao said.
"What? Where are you going? Miss, what do you want to do? Xiaohong asked.
Hatsumoku said, "Mochizuki Tower." ”
"If you want to go to enjoy the moon, you can wait until the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, with the old lady and his wife."
"With them, it's tight. Don't worry, Xiaozi, I really just went up to see the moon, maybe there won't be such a good moon to see in the future. Chu Tao said.
Xiaohong shook her head, Miss's speech is really getting more and more profound, and she can't understand it.
"However, now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the Moon Tower may not be open to visitors. We'll probably run into a gray nose when we go. Xiaohong said.
"Who am I? I'm a little bully, alas! Xiaobawang can go wherever he wants! ”
"Lie to you, I know there's a little door to go up to. Let's make a good plan for tomorrow's climb to the Moon Tower. Chu Tao said.
Xiaohong felt that the young lady who was not afraid of heaven and earth was back.
