"Sister, you and daddy are back today, I wonder if there will be any surprises tonight?" Wen Ting rubbed the arm that was reset by Nangongxue just now, and said with a smile.
Suddenly, an idea that once floated in my mind reappeared in front of Wen Rou.
"Brother, come with me, I'll take you to a place!" Gentle and ghostly, he took Wen Ting's arm and trotted all the way to the market.
"Hey, slow down! I just reset, don't pull me out of the joint again!" Wen Ting said with lingering fear.
Aren't these two people going home... Sheng Yaoshan felt strange, so he couldn't help but quicken his pace.
If it was as usual, the market would have already closed... But now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, even though it is dusk, the market is still bustling with people.
In front of a stall, Gentle stopped.
Those were a few bamboo baskets, and something was slightly crawling inside.
"Old man, how do you sell this crab?" Gentle and natural squatted down, looked through a bamboo basket, and asked immediately.
"Hehe, girl has good eyesight. These are the hairy crabs newly released this year. They are all female crabs, and the meat is tender and fat! If you want to sell them alone, it may not be suitable, but if you want the whole basket, I will be a girl." Half price! Hehe, girl, it’s not easy for me to do business, and girl bought my crab, so I can close the stall and go home early!” The old man who sells crabs knows how to do business.
"Okay! I want it all!" She responded gently and straightforwardly.
So, at the agreed price, a basket full of hairy crabs was put into Wen Ting's hands.
"Sister, although the crabs are delicious, there are only four of us in our family, including Uncle Cai, there are only five people! The crabs are delicious, but they are very cold, so it's not easy to eat too much, and they must be live. There are so many crabs...how can I eat them!" Wen Ting frowned!
"Brother, what we have is money now! Hehe! It's not short of money!" He patted his waist with a gentle smile.
"This... it's not about money, it's a waste!" Wen Ting was in a hurry!
"Who said I have to eat alone! This may not be enough!" Rourou spread her fingers and calculated carefully. He said to himself: "There are five people in our family, one person has two crabs; I will send some to Mr. Ren's mansion. There is also General Sheng. There are many people in Dingguo's mansion and Xiang's mansion. I am afraid that if we send less Not enough to eat! Oh, yes, yes, there is also sister Xueer!" Rourou finally settled the matter.
"Eh... so many people..." Wen Ting was completely speechless.
Sheng Yaoshan has been following behind, although he can't see what Rourou bought, but it is worth affirming that the girl bought a big basket!
In a circle. After buying some ginger and vinegar, the Wen brothers and sisters went back.
"It's good when we get home..." Sheng Yaoshan watched Wen Rou and Wen Ting enter the door, feeling relieved suddenly.
"Yo! I'm buying crabs!" Cai Mi's nose was sharp, and as soon as Wen Ruan entered the door, he greeted her.
"Cai Bo, I bought a lot today, let's make them while they are fresh, keep some at home, and give the rest to others! But hurry up, it must be delivered before dinner. That's the best!" Gentle After speaking eagerly, he has already rolled up his sleeves, and it looks like he is about to do a big job!
Crabs are happy. Everyone is strong.
Seeing that Wen Shouzheng was in a good mood, he naturally joined the ranks of cooking crabs.
Even though Cai Mi felt itchy to see it, due to his special status, he couldn't do it himself, so he could only follow along and help brush and bind crabs.
Fortunately, the cooking of fresh crabs is extremely simple, just steaming, just master the heat, come and go. In the blink of an eye, a basket of crabs was on the cage!
at the same time. Rourou picked up Liu Yidao's dark iron kitchen knife, and lined up the golden old ginger. The sound of chopping and chopping sounds coherently. After all the crabs are steamed, the sweet vinegar soaked in minced ginger is also ready!
"Father, you guys eat first, I'll send some crabs, I'll be right back!" Ruan Ruan was eager in her heart, and the delicious food must be eaten hot, especially the crabs just out of the cage, dipped in ginger vinegar, it was very pleasant.
"Go, let's go! We'll wait for you!" Wen Shouzheng also felt that his family had been helped by the nobleman for a long time, and now he and Ruan Wen have entered the palace as imperial cooks as they wished, and it is easy to get some meals to thank!
Hired a carriage at the gate, and galloped all the way, first went to Ren's mansion on the opposite side, then went to the Xiang's mansion not far away, and finally made a circle, rushed to Nangong mansion, and came down, the cauldron with crabs Still hot!
"My lord, Miss Wen came here just now and gave her crabs and ginger vinegar..." Xiao Anzi walked in quickly, holding the still hot food box in his hand.
"Oh? Where is she?" Ren Yue looked out subconsciously.
"Let's go, there is still something to do! Oh, Miss Wen said, this is fresh, let the young master and his family eat it while it is hot!" Xiao Anzi offered the food box with both hands, and the aroma was already ready to come out, making people swallow. .
"Third Young Master, the Master and Madam are calling you to eat!" a servant girl from the Ren Mansion came to report.
"Let's go, since it's Miss Wen's kindness, let's share it with her today, and it's also a treat!" Ren Yue shook his sleeves, walked out slowly, Xiao Anzi was holding a food box in his hand, happily follow behind.
"General Sheng, Miss Wen came here just now, and she said that she made some crabs and brought them here. Please invite everyone to taste them." Gu Changfeng stood in front of Sheng Yaoshan with a food box in his hand.
"Miss Wen? Where is she?" Sheng Yaoshan was overjoyed.
"General, Ms. Wen said she still has something to do, so she went back first. By the way, Ms. Wen explained that when the general invited everyone to taste crabs, don't say that she did it. Just taste it!" Gu Changfeng continued.
"Oh... Got it!" Sheng Yaoshan suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of loss.
The crabs cooked by hand and delivered with heart, are such behind-the-scenes heroes.
Sigh... Presumably Miss Wen would know that if she made it clear, this basket of crabs would definitely not be on the dining table...
"Miss Wen! Come in!" At the door of Nangong Mansion, Fei Cui ran into Wen Wen who was about to knock on the door.
"Sister Fei Cui, this is the crab made by Rou'er. It's very fresh, and there's ginger vinegar in it. Even if it's a dish for Sister Xue'er, I'd like to ask Sister Fei Cui to help me!" The food box is provided.
"Ah! Our lady loves crabs the most! I was still talking about it a few days ago! Won't Ms. Wen come in and have dinner together? It's time for dinner!" Fei Cui invited.
"No, no, it's hard to go out of the palace today, and I still have to go back to accompany my parents and brother! Sister Fei Cui said to Sister Xue'er for me, I'm leaving!" With a gentle and cheerful farewell, I returned home with a relaxed heart.
The delicacy of crab is the most suitable in this season!
On Ren's dining table, a plate of plump crabs attracted everyone's attention as soon as it was served.
"Heh, where did the crabs come from?" Ren Hongting said happily.
"Miss Wen made it!" Ren Yue said lightly, and then reached out to grab a crab.
Gently break off the crab legs, cut the crab legs with exquisite crab scissors, and use a small silver hook to slightly strip the legs.
The white and delicate whole piece of crab leg meat was taken out, picked up with the textured ivory chopsticks, slightly dipped in ginger vinegar, slowly put into the mouth, chewed and savored slowly.
The sweetness and umami of the crabs fills the mouth, and the crabs before the Mid-Autumn Festival are so plump, so the crabs in Chongyang Festival must be more attractive!
After eating the crab legs, gently open the crab shell, and the orange-yellow lumpy crab roe appeared, scraped off finely with a silver spoon, and put it into a small white porcelain bowl, like plump jewels, slightly dripping Put a spoonful of ginger vinegar on it, and then take a small sip, a sense of satisfaction and happiness jumps on the tip of the tongue and lips, wrapping the mouthful, making people want to stop!
Eat a mouthful of crab and drink a sip of morning dew wine. Before you know it, Wen's morning dew wine has become a well-known wine in the capital!
Sweet and fragrant, soft and soft, with the bitterness of wine, but not so strong that it can cover up the deliciousness of the meal. Eating crabs, accompanied by morning dew wine, is a great blessing in life at this moment!
