Chen Er had no choice but to say, "Since everyone can't guess, I have to say it myself." ”

"The biggest difference between the ancients eating crabs and us modern people is that we have hand sanitizer for hand washing, but they don't have ......"

After saying this, the barrage was suddenly clear.

After a while, a large "......" floated past

Chen Er continued, "After all, after eating crabs, your hands will become very oily. ”

Fans: "I believe in your evil ......"

Chen Er looked serious, "However, people came up with the solution, so the ancients used their brains and came up with other methods......

As he took things out and put them on the table, he said to everyone, "Now, we need these ingredients to make what the ancients used to clean their hands after eating crabs." ”

The camera swept over the materials one by one, and everyone looked at them carefully with curiosity.

I saw some green leaves, some small yellow flowers and a large bowl of green powder on the table.

Together, these things look more like ingredients for some kind of food than something to be able to wash your hands.

Fans are curious, does Chen Er use these things to make food, or for other purposes?

Chen Er introduced those materials one by one.

"Chrysanthemum leaves, osmanthus stamens, mung bean flour noodles."

"That's right, after eating crabs today, I want to wash my hands with these three things."

Chen Er set aside the small basket containing the chrysanthemum leaves, and then placed the osmanthus stamens into a small clean bowl.

Then put all the mung bean noodles into a sieve made of bamboo.

"Chrysanthemum leaves can be used directly to wash hands, but this osmanthus stamen and mung bean flour noodles need to be processed twice."

Chen Er took out a box of matches, polished the matches, and then lit the osmanthus stamens in the small bowl.

"We set the osmanthus stamen on fire and smoked this mung bean flour noodle with aroma."

"Of course, the osmanthus stamens used here have been dried. Only the sun-dried osmanthus can ignite and burn the aroma, and the smell of wet osmanthus is not so good after ignition. ”

As soon as the osmanthus stamens in the small bowl were lit, bursts of light smoke and a rich floral fragrance came out.

Chen Er picked up the sieve containing the mung bean noodles, placed it on top of the lit osmanthus stamens, and gently shook the sieve.

You can see puffs of light smoke rising from the clouds, passing through the mung bean noodles and drifting higher into the sky.

During the whole process, Chen Er held the sieve and shook it gently. Until all the osmanthus stamens in the bowl are burned.

Chen Er put down the mung bean noodles and gently flicked the mung bean noodles in the sieve with his hand.

Because the osmanthus cigarette passed through the sieve, the mung bean noodles inside were also stained with a slight temperature, a little warm to the touch, and it seemed to be more delicate to the touch.

Chen Er picked up some mung bean noodles between his fingers, rubbed them gently, and then put his fingers in front of his nose and sniffed the smell.

Sure enough, I smelled a faint aroma of osmanthus.

This aroma is more natural and harmonious than spraying perfume directly. And because it is smoked, the aroma also has a touch of warmth, and it smells very pleasant.

"Yes, it smells good."

Chen Er put the smoked mung bean noodles into a small porcelain square box and closed the lid.

When it is done, the crabs in the steamer are also steamed.

Chen Er took the steamer down and extinguished the fire. Then remove the lid of the steamer.

The aroma of crab filled the room in that instant.

The thick fragrance is like a dense drizzle, which quickly covers all corners without stopping.

Chen Er felt that at that moment, it seemed that even the hairs on the back of his hands were full of crab aroma.

The steamed crab is red and looks best on a green plate.

But Chen Er didn't take the crab out. Instead, the small cage of steamed crabs was taken away and placed in the yard.

There was also a large bowl for soup on the table where the meal was prepared, and Chen Er filled the bowl with boiling water, and then put the steamer basket with the crabs on it.

"This ensures that the crabs you eat are always hot."

However, it should be noted that the heat should not be too close to the crab, otherwise the crab will be cooked again.

Chen Er put away the crabs, and then brought mung bean noodles and chrysanthemum leaves for washing his hands from the kitchen.

I took out the chrysanthemum wine I had made before.

There is also a vinegar dish for eating crabs later, and a professional crab removal tool - eight crabs.

Chen Er stood in front of the table and thought for a moment, then said, "It seems that there is still a little bit of atmosphere." ”

So he walked around the yard, picked up a pot of golden chrysanthemums, and put it on the table.

Only then sit down at the table.

"Okay, live together."

Chen Er picked up the jar with chrysanthemum wine and poured a pot of wine into the jug.

Then put the flask into a clay jar and pour the appropriate amount of warm water into the jar.

Place the entire jar on a small clay stove that has already been prepared.

Light the charcoal fire in the clay oven.

Chen Er took out the crab from the steamer and placed it on a green plate.

"The cold of the crab is heavy, and drinking at this time is not suitable for cold wine."

"We can learn from the ancients, warm the wine before eating."

Chen Er picked up a large crab and put it on his plate.

Then the box containing the eight pieces of crab was opened.

He thought about it carefully, and then remembered how the crab eight pieces were used.

"Actually, the anchor, it's the first time I've eaten crabs with eight crabs."

"After all, I'm a rough man, and I used to eat crabs directly with brute force."

The history of edible crabs in China is very long, dating back to the Western Zhou Dynasty.

From the records of "Zhou Li" and "Zilin" of the Jin Dynasty, it can be seen that China has a history of eating crabs for 2,780 years. Since ancient times, eating crabs seems to be a very elegant thing.

As early as the Ming Dynasty, skilled craftsmen created a complete set of exquisite crab-eating tools. According to the Ming Dynasty food guide "Examination and Food", the first crab-eating tools of the Ming Dynasty have 8 kinds of hammers, upsets, tongs, shovels, spoons, forks, scrapers, and needles, which are translated into modern Chinese as waist round hammers, small square tables, tweezers, long-handled axes, spoons, long-handled forks, scrapers, and needles. Therefore, it is called "eight pieces of crab".

After the ancients invented crab-eating tools, eating crabs became an elegant and chic food enjoyment.

Chen Er opened the box containing eight crabs and presented them to everyone.

This set of eight crabs is sponsored by the system and looks very exquisite.

There are two words flashing all over the body: "expensive".

It looks golden, and it seems to be made of some rare metal.

It is also carved with intricate patterns and inlaid with some rare gemstones.

Pork stewed vermicelli: "Hold the grass, Chen Laoshi is pretending to be forced again!" ”

Watermelon is not an eastmelon: "Has Chen Laoshi considered the feelings of us poor people?" ”

Eat a pound: "Chen Laoshi: I haven't thought about it." ”

Chen Er thought to himself, using other people's things to pretend to be his own is really exciting.
