C155 Fat Crab (1/2)
After Su Zixuan had been idle for a while, apart from occasionally going out with Li Shiyun to play, she would also play with some interesting things in the mansion. The things that she had never noticed before were all of a different kind of interest.
It was the autumnal equinox. The harvest of the village was slowly reported up, and all sorts of fat crabs were sent up. Su Zixuan then set her gaze on this crab.
In the kitchen, Qingyue was busy working with the chef. As long as Su Zixuan was bored out of her mind and watched the crabs crawling about in a daze, they would be neatly tied up and thrown into the steamer.
”Miss, you only need to wait a moment.” Qing Yue finished dealing with all of this and spoke to Su Zixuan with a smile.
”En,” Su Zixuan nodded and continued to ask, ”Why did you tie these crabs up?”
”Miss, this is to prevent the crab leg from falling off. If the crab leg falls into the pot, it will inevitably move. If the crab leg falls off, it will cause the crab oil to flow out.” A quick-witted chef replied immediately, adding, ”Besides, the crab's legs are broken, so it would be undignified to carry it to the table.”
Su Zixuan nodded. In the past, he had only focused on eating crabs, so he didn't know that there were such steps.
When the crabs had all been steamed and cooked, some of them were sent to Su Zixuan and the front yard. There were still many left, but Qing Yue put them aside and dealt with them.
Su Zixuan was in the kitchen, so she didn't have the energy to mess around with them. She asked Mascot to eat by himself, while watching Qingyue and the kitchen staff work with great interest.
When Qing Yue saw Su Zixuan looking at her, she shyly smiled. However, Ru Yi couldn't help but ask, ”Big sister Qing Yue, what are you going to do with all these?”
Eating crabs had always been a favorite thing for the scholars at this time of year. From the poems left behind by the scholars in the previous dynasty, one could tell that not only did they have crab claws in one hand, but they also had wine glasses in the other. 'A lifetime spent patting the surface of the wine pool. Then there was' crab claws are golden liquid ', and the dregs were Penglai. And he must drink fine wine and ascend the platform by the moon. ''
He had almost treated eating crabs as something elegant, and now that he had invented eight crabs, it made him look even more elegant.
Ru Yi's family was poor since she was young, she had only picked up river crabs before casually cooking them. She did not know that crabs had other methods, when she was 13 or 14 years old, they were sold to people's teeth. Once she arrived, she was chosen by the Su family, but she had never seen anything like this before.
”I'm going to take this crab yolk out to make some food!” Qing Yue replied, but her hands didn't stop moving.
”You want to make a crab bun?” Ru Yi immediately thought of this.
”Not only that, there are also ways to use crab tofu.” Qing Yue smiled. Out of the four maidservants she had left behind, she was the only one who wasn't smart enough. She was thinking about what she could do to please the master and specially teach cooking with the cook.
