Chapter 64: Stir-fried Crab
At that moment, Wen Wan filled a full bowl of the picked out little female crab and took it to the kitchen to scrub it. I went to the legs and feet, and the crab belly, and then put on an apron and got busy on the stove.
Stir-fry green onions, ginger and garlic, remove the smell of white wine, and then stir-fry with spicy seeds, and increase the flavor of peppercorns.
Wen Wan was busy around the stove in an orderly manner, putting the pot and putting the ingredients in one go, the movements were neat and gentle, and the orange fire in the sky suddenly jumped and danced. From a distance, Wen Wan does not seem to be in the back kitchen of the smoke, but seems to be unhurriedly completing a pair of embroidery in the flowers.
The quiet and serious side face, the skillful and graceful posture, not to mention the mother-in-law who washes dishes and vegetables back and forth, even the shopkeeper Shen and a group of guys are also fascinated.
"Obediently, this is cooking, it's like a singing horn, it's so beautiful!" The woman who bent down to wash the vegetables opened her mouth and muttered that she had not seen the play, but in her perception the horn of the singing opera was the most beautiful.
Yan Qiu shook his head vigorously, glared at the mother-in-law: "What kind of corner, Jiao'er is a ninth-rate character, how can he compare with Lin Niangzi, what a good person Lin Niangzi is!" You wash your dishes well, Mo Hun said! ”
After that, he smiled stupidly: "If I marry a daughter-in-law in the future, I will find someone like Mrs. Lin." ”
Not to mention the beauty of the heart, and the good dishes that are burned are the most suitable for living at home!
Shopkeeper Shen slapped him on the head and scolded with a smile: "Don't you want the Zhichun that you think about every day?" ”
Yan Qiu frowned and shook his head angrily: "Don't!" Far worse than Mrs. Lin! ”
Zhichun is the eldest maid next to his wife, and he ignores him. In and out of the words, he thinks that he has no interest in running away, so he doesn't want it! At best...... At most, it's just a lust obsession and an impulse. Well, that's it!
There was a commotion behind him, but Wen Wan just lowered her head and looked at the pot intently, unhurriedly controlling the time and adding soy sauce, sugar, boiling water, soybean sauce and ingredients to the pot in turn.
However, with the help of a cup of tea, the domineering fragrance in the pot wafted out, lingering on the tip of everyone's noses. Before everyone could react, they circled and walked out of the back kitchen and scattered.
At this time, it was the meal, and Wanxianglou was also overcrowded, not to mention the crowds. In the dining hall, diners from all over the world are bored, eating, chatting, and occasionally shouting loudly. The runners are like bees picking flowers, carrying vegetables in and out.
I don't know who sniffed and muttered in a low voice, "Damn, what's the smell?" Incense personally! ”
Then, like boiling water, the crowd was in a commotion, and they all stretched out their heads to look at the back kitchen and shouted: "Little Er, Little Er!" ”
Maybe it's boring, maybe it's the dishes that are fascinating, and many people start to bid for a dish and want to win a jackpot. There are also those who join in the excitement and take out the silver and throw it on the dining table, and step on the stool with one leg to "coo" and pour tea with their heads up.
The running hall was able to cope with it at first, but it was slowly urged by the diners to pull left and right, and I couldn't help but panic.
When Yan Qiu squeezed into the back kitchen with a cloth towel, the door of the back kitchen was already full of people, all of them stretched their necks and swallowed saliva, snorting and closing their eyes to revel in intoxication. Shopkeeper Shen sat on a low table eating crispy peanuts with a smile, how could he have a calm face at first?
"The shopkeeper, the diners outside are all going to buy Lin Niangzi's dish, and they are all about to fight! Don't snuggle up here, can you go ahead and have a look? Yan Qiu was so anxious that he sweated.
When Wanxianglou's business is good, it is not nothing, but bidding for vegetables is unheard of. And many passing diners are being hooked by this domineering fragrance, and Wanxianglou is already full.
The shopkeeper calmly sipped tea and was about to speak, but Wen Wan smiled and untied his apron and said, "Okay, a spicy crab!" ”
She took out a plate of crabs and placed it gently in front of the shopkeeper Shen, and then reached out and handed him the bamboo chopsticks: "Uncle Shen, you taste it." ”
The crab shell is red, the sauce is golden, the soup is light brown, and the green onions are decorated with green onions, which is indescribably beautiful. Rao is shopkeeper Shen is well-informed, and he couldn't help but sniff and roll up his sleeves. Seeing that everyone was looking at him in unison, he didn't say much, grabbed a crab with his bare hands, peeled it and put it in his mouth.
After only two chews, his eyes lit up, nodded again and again, dragged the bowl in, protected the plate and began to bury his head in gnawing on the crab.
Seeing the crab disappear quickly, everyone couldn't help but lick their lips, stared at the shopkeeper Shen dryly and asked, "How is it, shopkeeper?" How does it taste? ”
"That's right! Shopkeeper, don't bother eating, but say something! I'm still waiting for this dish outside! ”
"I'll taste it!" Yan Qiu is not afraid of the shopkeeper Shen, he grew up with the shopkeeper Shen since he was a child, and he has a bit of intimacy with the shopkeeper Shen that others can't compare.
He stretched out his paw and touched a small crab and swallowed it with great gulp, and after a while, he stretched out his paw and touched another one.
"What's going on?" The guys who were familiar with him leaned over Yan Qiu's face with greedy faces, staring at his mouth that kept smashing.
Yan Qiu still didn't feel addicted, "hiss" and his red and swollen mouth unconsciously touched a crab from the plate and said, "Hemp!" Hot! Fragrant! Can't stop! ”
Shopkeeper Shen also hiccuped and wiped his hands, and after rinsing his mouth with pear water, he took a cup of tea and sipped lightly: "Take the rest, you can divide it!"
The rest of the people have already been hung up on their appetites, and at the moment you pushed me and pulled the ground up, and instantly snatched up a plate of spicy crabs, even the salty, fragrant and spicy sauce was already waiting for the mother-in-law who was waiting for the side to take it and eat the steamed buns.
The diners outside were in a hurry, and when they saw that many of the running guys entered the kitchen and did not come out, they couldn't help but stand up and shout at the top of their voices: "Where are the people? Do you want to do business? It's served! ”
Then there was a wave of shouting urgings.
Shopkeeper Shen lowered his head and smiled at Wen Wan who was sitting quietly eating, and a few exposed big white teeth flashed to make her dizzy: "How many spicy crabs are there?" ”
Wen Wan ate the pork liver noodles made by the chef for her and looked up in a daze: "There is still half a pot in the pot, about seven or eight plates, and there are two baskets of early-maturing and edible crabs like this in the courtyard." However, only one basket of female crabs is needed, and the rest of the male crabs that can be eaten are far less delicious than the female crab roe to make spicy crabs. ”
Shopkeeper Shen nodded, looked at Yan Qiu and instructed lightly: "You go out with three plates first, and ask for seven taels of silver for a plate." The other 4 sets with the highest price will win! ”
Yanqiu nodded, and Ma Li wiped her shiny red lips and did so.
The calm tone made Wen Wan gasp, and she couldn't help but pat the shopkeeper Shen's shoulder with wide eyes, admiring him so much: "Uncle Shen, you and Bao Zheng and Bao Qingtian are family, right?"
One has a black face and a black heart, both of them are tightly black. A plate of small crabs is seven taels of silver, and she would rather take this amount of silver to the butcher shop to buy dozens of catties of meat in exchange for eating.
The shopkeeper Shen held the money and smiled: You don't understand the world of rich people!
