"Mix the noodles lightly, add some salt, mince the green onion and ginger, and add a little pepper and mustard......"

Under the command of Chen Xu, several little maids worked in a division of labor, some made noodles, and some picked fresh wild onions and wild garlic, finely chopped them into fine pieces and added them to the basin, and soon made a large pot of batter.

The oil pot next to it had already been set up, and a guard had gooed five or six catties of Qinghe tea oil into the pot, which was already hot and began to smoke slightly.

Chen Xu tied up his clothes haphazardly, then rolled up his sleeves, picked up a pair of large bamboo chopsticks that were two feet long, picked up a crab and put it in the batter to wrap it, and then threw it into the oil pot.

"Poof~~"

As a golden bubble rolled in the oil pot, the dropped crab quickly floated, and at the same time, a smell of onions, garlic and pepper emanated.

"Brother, I want to eat, I want to eat!" Apricot has no interest in chicken wings, and has already stood beside the oil pan with her eyes peeled for a while.

"Give me the bamboo fish!" Chen Xu used chopsticks to turn over the crabs in the oil pot and fried them for half a minute, and a little maid next to him hurriedly handed over a semicircular fishing net woven with bamboo silk.

The bamboo scoop went down, and soon a fried golden crab was scooped up, and it was gently shaken on the oil pot a few times to drain the oil droplets, and then the first fried crab in Daqin was officially out of the pot.

"Click~" Chen Xu stretched out his hand and broke off a crab leg and put it in his mouth, and entered a mixture of peppercorns and green onions, ginger and garlic mustard, chewing crunchy, almost no different from the taste he had eaten when he was a child, and even because of tea tree oil, the taste was more fragrant.

"It's delicious, take the apricots and eat them!" Chen Xu nodded while eating, obviously satisfied with the delicious food he suddenly found when he went down to swim in the river.

"Thank you, brother!" Apricot is not afraid of being hot, so she lifts the fried crab with one leg, and then sits on the cattail mat and eats it.

"Wow, it's delicious, brother, hurry up and fry more, I still have to eat ......" Xing'er shouted while eating, Chen Xu glanced at Xing'er's round face and meaty little arms and legs, and felt if he had done something wrong.

The little girl is only nine years old, but after more than a year of good food and drink, there are signs of growing into a small ball of meat, and the little girl has a paranoid fanaticism about food, if she continues to raise it like this for another three or five years, Chen Xu is worried that she will really become a ball of meat in the future, and a girl who is too fat may not be able to marry.

As soon as she thought of the little girl getting married, Niu Dashi suddenly popped up from her mind.

Forget it, don't think too much, anyway, if you want to marry Niu Dashi, if you are fat, you will be fatter, if Niu Dashi dares to dislike it, he will definitely break his legs.

So Chen Xu's mood instantly relaxed, and he put the crabs wrapped in noodle sauce into the oil pot one after another, and the fluttering bubbles were tumbling, and the oil pot was densely covered with a layer, and he used chopsticks to fry, and fried it next to each other for more than a minute, and waited until the noodles outside began to brown, and then scooped it up with a bamboo scoop and put it on a large plate next to it.

"Let's eat one and see how it tastes?"

Chen Xu dropped the chopsticks, picked up a crab with one leg and blew it with his mouth a few times, it didn't feel too hot, so he broke off one leg and began to eat.

Several little maids who had been busy for a long time also laughed and picked up a crab by themselves, screaming in surprise while eating, obviously once again conquered by Hou Ye's whimsical food that turned decay into magic, and shouted delicious while eating.

"You fry the rest of the crabs!" After Chen Xu finished instructing, he walked over to Chen Jiang's and Shui Qingrou with a plate and sat on the grass, "Mother, gentle, you can also eat a few together, it's very fragrant!" ”

Chen Jiang and Shui Qingrou also picked one up and tasted it carefully.

"Husband, it's really delicious!" The water was gentle and instantly brow-browled praise.

"Hehe, that's, I ate a lot of ...... when I was a child" Chen Xu stopped before he finished speaking, and then secretly glanced at Chen Jiang's, and Chen Jiang's really heard it, stopped and looked up at his son and said, "Xu'er, why don't I remember to make fried crabs for you, our family has no oil, and salt is in short supply on weekdays......"

"Uh, mother, that's my mistake, maybe I ate it in a dream!" Chen Xu hurriedly laughed a few times to cover up.

"Husband must be mistaken, but who would have thought that the crab could still be eaten, it will take some courage to eat it!" Shui said with a soft smile.

"Who says no, the way of heaven is natural, all things are born together, flying in the sky and running on the ground, swimming in the ground, drilling in the soil, except for the table, bench, and house, I feel that I can't eat, everything can be fried and fried to taste it......" Chen Xu said while eating.

"Hehehe~ You also said that the senior brother is a big foodie, I think my husband is a real big foodie, he eats everything, and he will definitely be laughed at when he spreads it!" The delicate body of the water gently covered her mouth and smiled slightly.

"Is Benhou a breed that is afraid of other people's jokes? Who dares to laugh at me, as soon as I go to the emperor to read his ......"

"Engong, can you go a little more excessively?" Yu Wuya grabbed a few skewers in his hand and ate them with a mouth full of oil, and sat next to Chen Xu and said while eating.

"You don't eat crabs?" Chen Xu curiously handed the plate in his hand to Yu Wuya.

"Hey, it's all claws, and there's no meat at all, so it's not delicious to look at!" Yu Wuya shook his head and continued to eat the skewers.

Chen Xu pouted and said: "Everything needs to be tasted to know, just like tofu milk and stinky tofu, how do you know if it's delicious if you don't eat it, you still said that the chicken feet are not delicious!" ”

"Hey, what you said makes sense!" Yu Wuya obediently picked up a crab and bit off a few legs, then with a slight shake of his face, he stuffed a few skewers into Chen Xu's hands, put the plate into his arms and said while eating: "Woo, what Engong said is good, it is really delicious, the pepper is fragrant and spicy, it is not much better than the braised chicken feet, delicious and delicious......

Chen Xu cried and laughed and ate the skewers and said: "This kind of small river crab is actually just crispy, the best thing is a kind of big crab produced in the sea, the paste is meaty, whether it is made into garlic or spicy, it is very delicious!" ”

Yu Wuya shook his head while eating: "The sea is not the small ditch of the Wei River, I went to Zhejiang and Langya and other places with my master in my early years, the sea is vast and unfathomable, even if it is close to the coast, it is full of reefs, once the wind rises and suddenly the waves are monstrous, the waves are roaring, not to mention catching crabs, it is difficult to protect your life, that day on the Langya beach, I saw with my own eyes that a fishing boat was overturned by the tide just a hundred zhang away from the shore, and the fishermen on the boat were also involved in the sea water and disappeared, so no matter how delicious the sea crab is, you have to have a life to eat! ”

Chen Xu thought for a while and did not refute, the fishermen of this era are still in an extremely primitive state, the fishing boats are rough and small, the fishermen have no good tools, the harpoon fishing nets are very simple, as for what life jackets and oxygen cylinders are even more impossible, once capsized and fell into the water, there is almost only a dead end in the waves, and there will be no rescue on the vast sea, so the average fisherman will never catch crabs and small fish and shrimp when entering the sea, but catch precious seafood such as sea cucumber and abalone.

"Sea crabs can't be eaten, in fact, there is a kind of hairy crab in Zhejiang is also very delicious, there is a Taihu Lake near Wu County, known as Zhenze in ancient times, rich in a huge hairy crab, steamed and dipped in ginger vinegar is delicious, the meat is tender and juicy, much better than this dry river crab, hiss......" Chen Xu said and couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

"Goo Dong~" Yu Wuya, who was eating the crab, also shrugged his Adam's apple, and then put down the crab in his hand tastelessly and looked at Chen Xu with a depressed face, "Engong, don't talk about more delicious food next time you eat delicious food......

"Hehe, I'm just telling you that there are countless delicacies in the world, you have to have the courage to try, such as this little crab, if I didn't make it, you would never eat a bite in your life, and this thing......" Chen Xu picked up a snail from the grass that was thrown by the children from the grass as he spoke.

"You won't eat, Engong, you can eat something more disgusting than a bug?" Not only did Yu Wuya's eyes widen, Shui Qingrou and Chen Jiang's family both looked at the black snail in Chen Xu's hand together, and felt that the crabs that had just eaten were crawling around in their stomachs.

Let's not talk about the gentle water, I was born in a rich family since I was a child, and the food I eat and drink is definitely good, and I cultivate in Lushan, and the food I eat is also fed, so it will definitely not be too bad.

And although Chen Jiang's family has been poor and miserable, hungry things happen from time to time, but they will never eat insects, as long as they think of a way to eat wild vegetables and wild fruits, they can still satisfy their hunger, snails and things are everywhere in the canals by the river, and I have never heard of anyone taking them to eat.

"Hehe, I haven't eaten it, if I tell you that it's delicious, you won't believe it?"

Yu Wuya, Shui Qingrou, and Chen Jiang all nodded together.

Chen Xu stood up, and at this time, a group of babies playing in the water were also attracted by the smell of barbecue and fried crabs, and they were all around seven or eight meters away and kept sucking saliva, but they didn't dare to come over, so they could only watch with their eyes.

"Eh, come here~" Chen Xu beckoned to a few babies, and immediately three little babies with stripes ran over, and the little finches under their crotches shrank like little earthworms, sucking saliva and looking at Chen Xu together.

"Go and tell everybody that each person will be rewarded with two fried crabs, but after eating, you have to help me go to the river to touch these snails, and you need to be big, not too small! The more you catch, the more crabs you can get......"

"Yah~" A few little babies immediately jumped up excitedly, turned their heads to talk to their companions, and suddenly a group of bare-ass babies rushed to the side of the oil pot, everyone took two very honestly and then stood or sat under the strong sun to eat, and after a few bites of fast eating, they jumped into the water to touch the snails, and soon there were snails crackling and throwing them to the shore.
