Chapter 24: Crabs and Wine

Maybe only Fang Yuan didn't know that Cai Jing's favorite thing to eat was crab roe, no matter what, he was crooked, and McDonald's Golden Egg Fried Rice was using ingredients like crab roe.

Everyone is bound to win the food competition, the ingredients prepared are naturally the best, and the crabs taken out are huge and full, with teeth and claws, full of vitality, I don't know how much better than the hairy crabs of Yangcheng Lake that will blow into the sky in later generations, but compared with the knife crabs brought by Fang Yuan, they are not enough to see at all.

Sure enough, when he opened the ingredient box and took out the sword crab, there was a burst of inhalation sound all around.

In ancient times, crabs were still relatively rare ingredients, many people had never seen them, and most of the crabs eaten by the ancients were freshwater crabs, and the palm-sized freshwater crabs were already very large, if such a big crab was at least nearly 100 yuan a piece in later generations, and the large knife crab that Fang Yuan took out was larger than the king crab in later generations, like a monster.

Although the knife crab is honestly coiled with its hideous giant pincers and crab legs, its pair of mung bean-like eyes are purring and turning, which shows that this is a living creature.

The judges in the hall and the chefs who participated in the competition were very curious about the ingredients that Fang Yuan took out, but they didn't ask questions for the sake of face, and the people watching outside had no scruples and spoke one after another.

"What is that, like a big stone, can a stone also make food?"

"It's definitely not a stone, you can see it move, it should be a living thing."

"It looks a bit like a crab."

"Hey, you've ever seen a crab that big? The largest crab I've ever seen in Hongfu Lou in Bianjing is the size of a plate, and a dish costs eighty taels of silver, and I've never heard of a crab bigger than a basin. ”

"Can you eat something like a crab? Eighty taels? ”

"You don't understand, although that thing doesn't have much meat, but if it's done well, it tastes good, tsk......"

"Cut, it's like you've eaten it."

"Why haven't I eaten it, the year before last, my boy caught a crab in the river, and my mother-in-law put it in the pot and cooked it."

"Is it really as delicious as you say?"

"Of course, I'll tell you that the crab tastes the same as those delicacies from the mountains and seas that the official family eats."

"Officials also eat crabs?"

……

Fang Yuan also found that everyone's attention was attracted by the sword crab, and he felt a little proud in his heart, no matter what kind of dishes he made for a while, at least now his ingredients were much better than others.

"Boss Li, is that Fang kid a crab?"

Someone next to him asked Li Defu.

Li Defu frowned and said, "How do I know." ”

"Hey, isn't that Fang kid your future son-in-law, why don't you know."

The last thing Li Defu wants to mention now is the marriage contract with the Fang family, and when he heard this, he immediately exploded, "Old man Zhang, what nonsense are you talking about, who is my future son-in-law!" ”

Old man Zhang is the owner of the restaurant, there are restaurants in both Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the industry is no less than Li Defu, so he is naturally not afraid of him, and said with a smile: "I saw you all come together today, such a big crab didn't see you let Master Zhu use it, but it was used by the Fang family's boy, and he said that it was not your son-in-law." ”

"Old man Zhang, let me tell you, I have nothing to do with the Fang family kid, I just ran into it on the road!"

"And what's the matter with the big crab in his hand?" Old man Zhang was obviously worried about this, he specially invited the famous chef of Bianjing City to come back for this food competition, and also spent a lot of money to find a super crab, originally wanted to make his restaurant famous in the food competition, and then walked away from Cai Jing's relationship in order to open the restaurant industry to Bianjing. It's good now, before the game started, everyone's attention had been attracted by the big knife crab brought by Fang Yuan, so he wanted to find out if Fang Yuan's bottom was premeditated.

Li Defu knew Old Man Zhang's thoughts, and snorted coldly: "You can ask the Fang family kid yourself about this kind of thing." ”

Looking at Li Defu's appearance, it really didn't seem to have anything to do with Fang Yuan, and Old Man Zhang naturally didn't really ask Fang Yuan, so he chuckled and said: "What if there are good ingredients, I don't believe that the cooking skills of the Fang family kid are comparable to the famous chefs in Bianjing, but it's a pity that the good ingredients are really a big waste." With his decades of experience in opening a restaurant, he has never seen a crab as big as a knife crab, and with Cai Jing's love for crabs, he will be very happy if he sees it, maybe the restaurant will enter Bianjing.

Why didn't I look for such a big crab! Old man Zhang was secretly annoyed, if it weren't for the fact that the food competition had already started, he would have wanted to find Fang Yuan to buy the knife crab in private.

In addition to Old Man Zhang, there is another person with a more complicated mind, that is, Zhu Jun who followed Zhu Mian to participate in the food competition, he sat next to Zhu Mian and looked depressed, that day he went to Sweet Water Village and saw Fang Yuan taking Anan and Li Muning around in the village and took people back, today when he saw Fang Yuan bring such a big crab over, he immediately thought that he found it later, and regretted it in his heart.

A crab bigger than a basin is definitely a strange thing, and if you follow it for a while that day, this strange thing will be your own.

"This kid is weird, he can find so many rare things, next time I have to go to Sweetwater Village quietly." Zhu Jun secretly made up his mind.

Fang Yuan didn't know that he had been remembered, he was going to prepare to deal with the ingredients, don't look at the big sword crab now honestly coiled around, this is because it is tied by the rope of the two-dimensional world, if there is no rope tied up, I'm afraid that the people here are not its opponents.

Golden egg fried rice only needs to use the crab roe of the big knife crab, so Fang Yuan's method of taking the crab roe is different from others, there is no need to disassemble the whole big knife crab, only use the knife to open a small opening on the back of the crab, and then lead the crab roe out through the small mouth.

The bright red and tender crab roe filled a full bowl, and the crab roe alone weighed almost a catty, heavier than other people's whole crabs, and attracted a lot of discussion.

"It's really a crab, it's incredible that there are such big crabs in the world!"

"So many crab roe, it looks delicious."

"The colors are so beautiful!"

……

Fang Yuan ignored everyone's discussions, and took out a large wine jar from the food box, the vitality of the sword crab was extremely tenacious, and after taking out the crab roe, it was still full of vitality, struggling to get rid of the rope, Fang Yuan opened the lid of the wine jar and quickly put the sword crab in, and then re-covered it.

Although the movement was fast, the strong aroma of wine still spread instantly, causing everyone to inhale violently.

"What a rich aroma!"

"And the scent of peach blossoms!"

"What kind of wine is this? The old man has drunk wine for decades and has never smelled such an attractive aroma. ”

Everyone's eyes instantly shifted to the wine jar in front of Fang Yuan.
