C2209 crab-fermented orange (2/2)
Xiao Letian placed the tangerine crab that was always on the plate in front of the Queen, and gently opened the lid, revealing the faint yellow fragrant meat broth.
”Your Majesty, before anyone told you about the ingredients for this dish, what did you think of him?”
”Oh …” Delicious. There was a unique fragrance that I had never tasted before. I really wanted to taste it … But is this really made from a river crab? ”
”Haha, look. If everyone were to remind you that you've tasted such an exquisite delicacy, I can answer you in person. This is made from delicious river crab …”
”Crabs are not the kind of small things that are found in European rivers. Instead, they are a unique crab species in Jiangnan, China. It's called Big Gate Crab, and its taste and appearance are much better than European crabs …”
”This time, we specially raised a batch of them in the fresh water cabin of the cargo ship and shipped it to Europe. I think that after everyone here has tasted the deliciousness of these ingredients, these crabs will definitely be raised!”
”Crab Wine Orange!” Take a large, yellow, ripe orange, cut off the top, gouge out the pulp, leave a little juice, fill the orange with crab paste, cover it with a branch top, put it in a container, and steam it with wine, vinegar, and water. ”Dip the food in vinegar and salt, and it will smell good and fresh.”
”What are you all worried about? The reason why Europeans are unwilling to eat river crabs is because the crabs are too small in size to be picked up, and have a bad taste. What if our national chef can solve these two problems? ”
”Dear Queen, there is a saying in China that the first person to eat a crab must be a brave warrior! Now, are you ready to try something delicious? ”
Xiao Letian's expression was extremely sincere, and the Queen was unable to refuse now. She could only take the spoon from Xiao Letian's hands and unhesitatingly looked at the big Tangerine in front of her.
Everyone present was looking at the Queen, especially the Tongzhi Emperor and Xiao Letian. They were looking at her with an encouraging gaze, making this European royal grandmother very embarrassed.
Tongzhi said in a low voice: ”Your Majesty, please believe me, you really should have tried it!”
Forget it, since the Queen was forced to such a state, she could only grit her teeth and give it a try. The silver spoon scooped up half a tablespoon of crab butter and crab butter, and the moment she closed her eyes, she stuffed it in.
Bang! At that moment, the Queen suddenly felt countless taste buds on her tongue explode. A unique taste instantly took over all of her senses.
Fresh, fragrant, sweet, soft, waxy … The layers of taste fused together in her mouth, making the crab fermented orange so smooth that she almost swallowed her tongue.
At that moment, she even wanted to eat all the crabs on the table, all the oranges, all by herself.
At this time, even a fool could see the Queen's expression. Prince Edward, who was by his side, brought over a plate of Crab Wine without the help of a maid.
A mouthful of delicious food was rewarded with his happy scream, ”My God! ”What is this taste? Have I been eating trash all these years?”
This caused a huge commotion. All the guests at the table impolitely moved out to take a bite. They opened the lid on the top of the tangerine and quickly finished up the small piece of crab meat with their spoons.
”Oh!” ”Oh my god …” Some of the guests were so excited that their eyes were red, ”What should we do now?” Once these Chinese guests leave Europe, will I be unable to enjoy such delicacies for the rest of my life? ”
”My God! ”Why must you punish us like this? If we don't get to eat this kind of delicacy in the future, how miserable will my life be?!”
