Chapter 242: Crab Fragrance
Yan Chao is a native of Yuehu City.
He's not a royal chef, he's a cooking enthusiast at best.
But in addition to cooking, he has a bigger hobby, which is tasting food.
Although it is good to cook by yourself, how can it be compared to eating directly after others cook well?
As a local, Yan Chao is naturally no stranger to the Leaping Fish Banquet, and at the age of twenty-six, he can remember as many as five or six Leaping Fish Banquets.
This time, as soon as the rules of the Leaping Fish Banquet were announced, he was crazy with joy.
In the past, he was able to enter and watch as an audience at the Leaping Fish Banquet, but he couldn't taste the food cooked by these high-level culinary masters.
And this year's Leaping Fish Banquet, he can not only taste it at will, but also cast his sacred vote to help his favorite food win!
Praise Ms. Ye Zangqing!
Yan Chao was excited, browsed the local forums, and found that many people mentioned that the number of food stalls in the neighborhood had suddenly increased, and the level of cooking skills was not low.
And these stalls have a characteristic, that is, the price of food is not low, but considering the quality of their ingredients and cooking skills, it is very cost-effective.
For a moment, he thought of the new rules of the Leaping Fish Feast - setting up a stall!
These new stalls may be preparing for the Leaping Fish Feast!
Thinking of this, Yan Chao didn't say a word, and ran to the lakeside clearing closest to his home and took a turn.
In the past, there were food stalls displayed here every day, but now that this time, there may be many new stalls.
And the truth is just as he expected.
After seeing that it was overcrowded and developed into an open space on the scale of a food street, Yan Chao was immediately glad that he didn't eat at night.
Now you can enjoy a variety of delicacies with an open stomach!
After eating all the way, it was like entering heaven for Yan Chao, who likes to taste food.
In the past, this level of food could only be eaten in more expensive restaurants, and his financial strength was limited, so it was okay to treat himself occasionally, but he couldn't afford to eat often.
And now, he can pick and choose at will and eat as much as he wants!
Although the price is still a little expensive, it is already affordable for him.
Thinking that before the start of the Leaping Fish Feast, these stalls would always exist, and even more and more, Yan Chaoyue was happy and more grateful to Ms. Ye Zangqing.
Just as he was happy, Yan Chao smelled a peculiar fragrance.
Even among the various aromas of food mixed here, this sudden appearance of the fragrance is so clear.
Yan Chao sniffled, and his eyes gradually lit up.
It is the fragrance of the crab!
This fragrance, he is too familiar.
Crabs are also produced in Yueyu Lake, so the price of crabs is not expensive.
Every once in a while, Yan Chao would spend money to buy two or three crabs.
It doesn't take many cooking steps, it only needs to be cooked to make a great dish, and even more commendable is that it can be without seasoning.
The freshness and sweetness of the crab roe and crab meat are amazing enough.
This is too friendly for Yan Chao, who has average cooking skills.
Therefore, crab is Yan Chao's favorite one among aquatic ingredients.
Along the way, he didn't see a stall cooking crabs.
The smell of crab at this moment made Yan Chao follow the fragrance without hesitation.
Soon, he saw the stalls where the scent was coming out.
There was a glass jar with a lid on the stall, and the various seafood ingredients soaked in the sauce in the jar looked extremely fresh, which made Yan Chao's eyes a little hot.
But when he saw the price of a hundred yuan a catty, he calmed down.
It's not that he can't afford this price, but he needs to wait and see for a while.
Yan Chao's gaze quickly shifted to the excessively young man who was busy behind the stall.
He was stir-frying the orange food in a large cauldron.
The rich crab aroma is coming from the food that is being stir-fried.
Yan Chao wanted to ask what the food was still being made, but seeing the young man's focus on cooking, he swallowed the words of the inquiry.
Although the other party was young, Yan Chao did not underestimate the other party at all.
After all, there were two two-star food eaters flying beside him.
And I have the confidence to participate in the leaping fish feast, and the other party's cooking skills will not be bad.
With such a big guy, the cooking process may not be easily disturbed.
Thinking of this, Yan Chao remained quiet, just curiously looking at the delicacies in the pot that continued to bubble up with the stir-frying.
The orange part should be crab roe.
In the process of stir-frying, Yan Chao could vaguely see a trace of white and tender crab meat, as well as a darker crab paste.
He couldn't help but swallow again.
Stir all three together...
Not to mention seasoning and other things, just the thought of eating a full amount of crab roe, crab meat and crab paste in one bite made him feel extremely satisfied.
When this delicacy is ready, he will try whatever he says!
Fortunately, I was the first!
Yan Chao looked back at the others behind him who were waiting in line for some time, with an expectant expression on his face.
While he waited, the excessively young stall owner finally finished the cooking steps and looked up.
Facing the other party's gaze, Yan Chao couldn't wait to speak, "Little boss, what kind of food is this?" How to sell? ”
"A bite of crab roe and rice." Qin Lang took out a delicate small bowl that had been washed and disinfected, took out the cooked rice and spread it on the bottom, covered it with a layer of crab roe, and placed it on the table, "Twenty yuan a piece." ”
Twenty dollars a piece?!
Yan Chao's eyes widened as he looked at the small bowl on the table, which might not be as big as his fist.
Is it expensive?
Certainly not expensive.
Only the layer of crab roe covered on the surface is equivalent to most of the hairy crabs.
He just felt that the amount was a bit small, and it was not enough for himself to eat in one bite.
But then, feeling that his stomach was already seven points full after tasting other delicacies before, Yan Chao felt that such a portion was acceptable.
"Give me one!" He did not hesitate and immediately scanned the code to pay.
"Please use it slowly, and put the finished cutlery in the empty basket next to you." Qin Lang handed a crab roe rice and a spoon to the other party, and then pointed to the basket that was specially used to recycle tableware.
Yan Chao took it carefully, gave up his place to the next customer, and stood aside to taste it.
Even if he deliberately slowed down, such a serving of crab roe rice was only enough for two spoonfuls.
"Whew~"
Yan Chao scooped up a spoonful of rice covered with crab roe and quickly put it in his mouth.
After chewing slightly, a look of intoxication suddenly appeared on his face.
The crab meat, crab roe and crab paste are stir-fried to bring out the freshness and aroma of the inside to the greatest extent, and the wonderful taste overflows between the lips and teeth the moment it is sent to the mouth.
The plump rice grains are a little glutinous in the process of chewing, and the slightly sweet aroma is intertwined in the deliciousness of the crab, bringing a new food experience.
Putting the empty small bowl and spoon into the recycling basket, Yan Chao walked to the end of the line without saying a word and started lining up again.
He wants another crab roe rice!
Well... Maybe you can try seafood in sauce? ——
