It's a new dish indeed.

Cheng Xi in the kitchen was putting a bunch of crabs that had been simply processed and cut into small pieces into the pot and oiled, and Wangshu, who was standing next to him, was already stunned.

"Ma'am, is this water bug really not poisonous? Can you eat it?"

"It's edible, and it's not poisonous."

Not only can it be eaten, but it also tastes delicious.

It's the end of September, and it's the season for crabs to plump, and it's the best time to eat spicy crabs.

However, Dayan people don't eat this, this kind of river crab with a few taels of meat and super fierce has not yet been on the table of the people of Dayan, even if the poor people are mostly not contaminated, if you want to eat, you have to go to the big river on the outskirts of Beijing to find it.

These in the pot were still caught by Cheng Xi sent Su Zhan early in the morning, and the latter's indescribable expression when he received the task is still fresh in everyone's memory.

After the crab was caught, Cheng Xi soaked it in the clear spring water in the space for a while, and it was still alive when he went under the knife, and it was absolutely fresh.

"You call her a water bug?"

The name water bug...... It's really not very distracting.

You must know that the creatures that live by the water have gone to the sea.

"Ahem, there's no universal name, and everyone doesn't like this kind of big biting bug."

No one even tried to eat it.

Wangshu silently added a sentence in his heart, and his expression became more and more numb.

Cheng Xi took her expression into her eyes while not forgetting to turn the crab pieces in the pot with a shovel.

"Don't worry, this thing is made to make sure you still want to eat it."

「......」

"Look, you can do it after you learn it."

Wangshu nodded, if it weren't for the lack of pen, ink, paper and inkstone beside her, she was afraid that she would have picked up the small notebook and took notes.

The crab cut into chunks is overheated with oil, and the original blue-brown color suddenly turns red when heated, because the color is brighter and brighter because of the layer of oil, and it also has a somewhat attractive fragrance.

"Shhh

This river insect is so fragrant?

That ugly river worm that likes to walk sideways is so fragrant!

It's incredible.

Wangshu swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and his cold eyes were a little hot.

She has been following her wife for so long, and she has seen a lot of ingredients turned into delicacies, but every time a dish that is completely different from the Great Yan Dynasty is born, she is still very shocked.

"Ma'am, what's next?"

"We're going to get down to business when we're oiled."

Cheng Xi put the red crab pieces aside, then boiled the oil in another pot, and then put the chopped garlic into the pot and changed to medium-low heat after the oil temperature reached a certain heat.

After a while, the garlic turns slightly yellow.

She took out a spoonful of bean paste from a small jar, and then added Sichuan peppercorns, bright red chili flakes, green onions, and ginger in turn to stir-fry.

Because of the bean paste and chili flakes in the pot, it quickly became red and shiny, Cheng Xi saw that the red oil had been boiled, and then poured the crab pieces into it and fried it, sprinkled a circle of fruit wine to enhance the flavor, and finally added an appropriate amount of water to stew.

Cover the pot.

"Alright, we'll be able to collect the juice later."

The fragrance in the kitchen is getting stronger and stronger, and several other vegetables are also fried one by one and put on the plate, and the wind is so hungry that the smell is straight next to it.

"It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant, Sister Xi's dishes are so fragrant~"

"Are you hungry?"

"Hungry, hungry, Feng'er's little belly was rumbling just now."

"......" Who eats chestnut cake all morning?

Cheng Xi squatted down in surprise and touched his soft little belly, and heard a grunt sound in his ears.

「？」

Really hungry?

"The little guy can eat quite a bit, but this crab is cold, and you can only eat one piece later."

"Okay~(*^▽^*)~"

What's wrong with a piece? Sister Xi has made a lot of dishes, and one plate is enough to fill his little belly.

The spicy crab quickly collected the juice under the fire, and because there were too many crab pieces, they were divided into three plates, and after Su Zhan and Wangshu brought it to the living room respectively, the two groups of guests also walked in.

Since there were too many guests to be invited to the banquet today, Cheng Xi and Shen Xingluo discussed and divided them into two groups, the outer living room was used to entertain male guests, and the small living room inside was placed for female guests.

It was also at this time that everyone saw Elder Xu, the elder of the Shen family who was said to live in a simple life.

The guests and hosts sat down and started the meal.

Except for Qin Zheng and Yu Heting brothers, everyone else was facing the impact of the Shen family's food for the first time, and as soon as they sat down, they felt all kinds of fragrances drilling into their noses.

And the rectangular table is beautifully plated, and the dishes are full of color and aroma, and you can tell that the taste must be bad just by looking at it.

Qu Shaojing only felt novel, "In vain, our capital is the most prosperous place in Dayan, and now it has been reduced to a dirt bun."

Qin Zheng smiled brightly.

Isn't it just a bun, he also lived in the capital for a few years when he was a child, and he knows what dishes are in the restaurant in the capital, and those are not half a star worse than the Shen family.

"Brother Qu, the taste of this braised pork is the most memorable, believe me yes."

"No, didn't you say that the ribs are my favorite?"

"It's all all!"

Qin Zheng's eyes rolled and he picked up Gongkuai and took the lead in clipping a small piece of braised pig's trotters to Qu Shaojing.

"Let's try this, it's delicious, I'm sure you'll want to eat it once you've eaten it."

"......" always feels like this kid is not at ease, what's the matter?

Qu Shaojing only felt an autumn wind blowing on his back, and after thinking about it, he didn't know what the problem was, so he simply picked up the small bowl containing a piece of meat that he couldn't tell what kind of meat it was.

The next moment, he was stunned in place, as if someone had pressed the pause button.

「！」

A mouthful of astonishment.

Fragrant, so fragrant!

How can food be so delicious?

The pork marinated with marinade is chewy, the meat is tight, soft and elastic, and the bite is full of relish, the pig's trotters are not sticky at all, and the marinade is rich and rich, and it captures everyone's senses and taste in just one bite.

"It's delicious, it tastes so good, it's a delicacy in the world!"

Qu Shaojing suddenly felt that the first 20 years had really been in vain, "By the way, what kind of meat is this?"

Qin Zheng, who had been observing him beside him, grinned and spit out two words with a bit of ill will.

"Pig's trotters."

「......」

Trotters.

Trotters?

Trotters!

「...... Is that the pig's trotter I was thinking?"

Is it the hoof of a lazy pig who sleeps, eats, sleeps, has nothing to do, hums and never bathes!

"yes, yes, it's the pig's trotter you thought, isn't it delicious?"

「......」

Qu Shaojing stiffened for a moment, then calmed down again, and said with pity:

"I just said something was wrong just now, so you want to see me laugh?"

When he couldn't see that the elder of the Shen family surnamed Xu was holding a piece of the same pig's trotter and gnawing on it?

After speaking, he viciously bit the tendons of the pig's trotters - ah~ delicious!

It doesn't matter what kind of pig's trotters and pig's tail he is, delicious is king!

Qin Zheng: "......"

Why is it not the same as he thinks?

"Is this braised pork?"

On the women's roll table in the inner hall, Jiang Yuyao, who was holding a bowl quickly, was surprised.

"Grandpa brought back a braised pork recipe when he passed by Lin'an Mansion last year, could it be that he bought it from Sister Xi'er?"

"yes."

Cheng Xi nodded, "It's really fate, I was here at that time

Set up a stall at Huaishui Wharf, and I just happened to meet Steward Jiang who got off the boat."

She simply told everyone about it, in fact, even Shen Xingqi didn't know about it, everyone was surprised when they heard it, they didn't expect it to be so coincidental.

"It's fate."

Jiang Yuyao smiled with her eyebrows curled, even more gentle and moving, "Since there is more braised pork at home, grandpa's students and father's colleagues often come to the door."

"Fate!"

Although Feng'er sitting on the pony didn't understand much, he couldn't stop him from interjecting.

Shen Xingqi stroked the small tugs on his head and grabbed a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs.

"What else would Feng'er want to eat?"

"The crab."

"Yes, but you're too young to eat more."

A plate of golden spicy crab is placed in the middle of the table, and even if it is surrounded by dishes full of colors and flavors, it is the most unique existence.

[In view of the general environment,

Without him, the special shape with pliers and a few legs is too chic.

Song Yan couldn't wait to put the fast seed into the plate of the spicy crab, picked up a piece and took a deep breath.

"It's so exciting, a little pungent and spicy, but it's addictive."

It's definitely delicious!

In fact, it is indeed as she imagined, when a piece of crab meat enters the mouth, the fresh taste immediately sweeps the taste buds, fragrant, spicy, fresh and crispy.

"Tsk, it's like a fresh tongue!"

It's just that there are a lot of shells, and even now is the time when the crabs are at their fattest, it's a bit difficult to eat.

Seeing her satisfied expression, the others moved one after another, and successively stretched out the fast son to the middle dish, and after a while, their eyes lit up.

Qu Shaoya was originally slow and methodical, but after eating two bites, she saw Song Yan let herself go, so she abandoned her usual etiquette and ate with relish.

In order to take care of several ladies, Cheng Xi has cut the crab pieces as small as possible, so that he can taste its deliciousness without having to start his hands.

The yellow crab paste accounted for most of it, and it was delicious enough to move everyone, and even Jiang Yuyao and Qin Nan, who don't like spicy food on weekdays, also ate a few more pieces.

The food here can be described as very reserved, and the hall outside has already changed its direction because of Xu Lao and Qin Zheng.

"This piece is mine, boy, you don't respect the elderly!"

"Elder Xu, I'm a guest, a guest."

"Hmph, we don't have any guests who come in over the wall all day."

"......" He didn't go over the wall!

"Hahahaha~~ It turns out that Qin Zheng is so unproductive, hey, you can't laugh to death, hhhh-"

Xu Lao and Qu Shaojing VS Qin Zheng, won completely.

The latter was just depressed for a moment, and then he came back to life with full blood, "What are you laughing at, what's so funny? At least I can eat my sister-in-law's craft every day, huh—"

It's not like someone, I've known Brother Shen for so long, not only did he come to eat for the first time, but he was also rescued twice.

out of interest.

Qu Shaojing's laughter came to an abrupt end.

"Qin, Zheng!"

Du and Qin looked at each other and sighed, how could things have come to this?

What about the demeanor of the literati, and the image of the little marquis, who is usually handsome and chic?

It's just a quarter of an hour's work, and it's all gone.
