Lin Chou felt that his skill in grilling lobster was very good and the taste was acceptable, but he just didn't feel full.
The main reason is that the appetite of evolved people is very terrible. A normal meal will probably be digested before it is finished.
"Where are the crabs you caught just now? Bring them here and bake them together!"
Everyone said,
"It's still grilled. The sea breeze blows and my body feels tight. How about we eat it in a wetter way? Steamed?"
Sikong rubbed his belly and felt that he could continue to fight.
"Steam it every day. What's so delicious? Can't we try something new?"
Lin Chou felt that what Mr. Sikong said was very reasonable.
"It's the time when the blue crabs are fat. Why don't we make a spicy crab meat stew?"
Qin Wuyong said doubtfully,
"Blue crab? What blue crab? Where did the blue crab come from?"
Lin Chou:? ? ?
When Qin Wuyong brought the crabs, Lin Chou was dumbfounded.
"Holy shit, Spider Crab? Such a big guy? Where did you do that?!"
What Qin Wuyong slipped over was a whole bag of brightly colored red and blue spider crabs. Each one of them had a body the size of a human face. Look at the embarrassing long legs, which are at least one meter long. They can be said to be the best among spider crabs. Excellent product.
There are about a hundred species of spider crabs. Compared with other crabs, they all have slender and slender walking legs and sharp legs. There are many colorful protrusions on the back, but they are not as ferocious as king crabs. The shape of the spikes and the back shell is relatively not that regular, or it can be said to be a bit ugly.
Qin Wuyong threw the net bag in front of Lin Chou.
"Here, crab meat stew."
Lin Chou murmured,
"Holy shit... I thought they were blue crabs... Isn't it a bit too extravagant to use spider crabs to make crab meat stew?"
Everyone was curious,
"There are no blue crabs under the sea, only ugly things like clumping into balls. We thought we should be able to eat them... Is this thing very expensive?"
Lin Chou nodded,
"Before the Cataclysm, the price would have been four to five hundred dollars per catty. One of this size would cost about several thousand dollars each."
Qin Wuyong opened his mouth,
"What is a beautiful sword?"
Lin Chou was speechless and choked.
"Okay, let's just walk or whatever."
It's unimaginable that Lin Chou never knew that Mingguang's seafood was so rich. When he was a child, eating small fish, shrimps and conches was like celebrating the New Year.
It's sour, very sour, especially when I think about guarding the ocean ranch and having to rely on dried rat meat during my childhood in the alley, I can't help but hate the damn alien beasts.
He reached out and took out an oversized cast iron pot from the cabinet under the chopping board, and tapped it with a spoon.
"Dang~"
Well, if it sounds good, it means good pot.
Of course, the pot comes from the system and is of the highest standard.
Qin Wuyong is a knowledgeable person.
"Hey, what a good guy, an antique cast iron pot from before the Cataclysm? At that time, if you wanted to customize a normal-sized one, you would have to start at three thousand oceans. You can easily earn five figures without any pressure at all."
Huang Dashan started to have cross-eyed eyes again, bulging like a toad.
"What? Ten thousand for a broken pot?"
Then he said to Sikong,
"I said, Young Master, do you want to be so extravagant? It's a lot of pressure for ordinary people like us to play with you!"
Sikong scratched his head,
"Huh? Ah...I don't know..."
Sikong, the scapegoat, said it was casual. I don't care whether he takes it or not. Money is just a number. Why do you still expect me to pay attention to what kind of pot is used on the luxury yacht that has just been launched?
Lin Chou said,
"Cast iron pots are more suitable for making crab meat stew. Generally speaking, it is best to use pig trotters or chicken feet to stew crab meat into soup..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Qin Wuyong. He held the sea snake and said with a smile,
"I thought it would be appropriate to use it today."
"Uh...that's fine...ok..."
Leng Han blinked,
"Hmm...won't it smell fishy?"
"That's not so. Sea snakes have a lighter smell than snakes on land. If I had to describe it, it actually tastes a little bit like an old rooster after it's done."
Several poor big spider crabs were directly tied up by their legs and put into the steamer. While everyone was talking, the floating islands and boats kept floating on the sea, and Zushan and Mingguang could be seen in the distance.
Qin Wuyong put up a pergola and looked towards the coast not far away.
"Hey, you have drifted dozens of nautical miles in just half a day? Did you see that over there is the branch of Zushan, which plunges into the seabed near the coast. It is said that there is also a very good beach, which has been occupied by a small snow leopard family. It occupies, um, a fourth-level alien beast, a very ferocious one. Its favorite food is the giant horned antelope and the blue-striped wildebeest, and it almost never attacks humans."
"oh?"
Both potted plants and cold plants are interested.
"Beach?"
Qin Wuyong nodded,
"Yes, I have seen the footage. It is a narrow bay. The beach is silver-white. It is much prettier than the sand on other parts of our Mingguang coastline. It is very delicate. I want to go there during a live broadcast. Then, I was forced back by three adult snow leopards, as if they were giving birth at that time."
Sikong waved his hand, indicating to the captain to adjust the direction of the ship.
"Go and have a look over there. I don't know if our ship can enter that small narrow bay."
The floating island was fixed with a thick anchor chain, and the ship started and slowly sailed towards the narrow bay.
Qin Wuyong lay on his back on the floating island with a smile.
"Speaking of our current behavior... it's really... you know, hehehe, it's no different from those second-generation children in the base city."
Shan Ye made a cut,
"Even if you borrowed eight thousand leopard courage from each of them, they wouldn't dare to drive the boat around on the dark sea. Those bastards are risking their lives."
"Hahaha."
Lin Chou put the nearly steamed crabs aside to dry, then made a large pot of oil and started frying the chopped snake pieces.
The snake meat should be fried until golden, crispy and semi-dry to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor. It will go well with the crab meat after a while.
Emmmm, speaking of crab meat stew made with sea snakes, is it considered a dark dish?
Lin Chou smelled the fried sea snake and thought it tasted okay, with a very light and unique fragrance.
Onion and ginger slices are stir-fried in a pot, and whole dried chili peppers are added to stir-fry fish and snake meat. Half a jar of old rice wine is put into the pot. The strong aroma of the wine instantly overwhelms everything. After drizzling a little dark soy sauce, the aroma of wok gas and oil is revealed. It becomes more and more intense and becomes an irresistible, homely taste.
Lin Chou found a huge square tray and began to divide the spider crabs.
Even after the spider crab is cooked, it does not have the attractive red appearance of other crabs. It has a kind of unmoving demeanor regardless of the winds from the southeast, northwest, and almost does not change much in color.
The first thing to deal with must be the spider crab's long legs. Each of the ten long legs is more than one meter long. There are really legs under the chest - oh no, there are legs under the head.
It is said to be slender because the body of the spider crab is about the size of a human head. In fact, each crab leg is at least as thick as one and a half to two thumbs of an adult.
Even the largest crab has a body the size of a car's steering wheel, and its legs are at least three meters long when fully extended, not much thinner than Lin Chou's arms.
Hold the base of the leg with your hands and fold it left and right.
With a crisp "click" sound, the crab legs were broken off, revealing the crystal white meat inside.
The juice in the crab shell gurgled out from the break, almost like an endless stream.
The color of the juice tends to be yellow-brown, and there are many white, yellow, and dark green lumpy liquids in it. In fact, if you don't consider these mixed colors, you can call it the "essence" of crabs.
"Wow...it smells so good..."
"If I hadn't kept my eyes open and asked me to drink the soup and water, I would have felt no pressure at all and would have paid for it."
Lin Chou said,
"These are truly pure natural soups. I'll use them soon, but I really can't give them to you..."
Sikong's face is a little green,
"So you're talking about these soups..."
"Yes, it's exactly the same as you thought."
Sikong immediately shut up and everyone was happy.
After all the crab legs are removed, the middle part of the crab body needs to be processed, the navel and mouthparts are cut off, and finally the tail of the crab shell is opened.
"Click."
As everyone expected, the situation inside the crab body is not very conducive to people's beautiful thoughts. It is colorful and lively.
Cut off the gills of the crabs and pour out the juice, then cut them into relatively even, half-palm-sized pieces. The large chunks of white crab meat are steaming and still piping hot.
"Gudong."
Everyone, you look at me and I look at you, smiling tacitly,
"We think it's completely ready to eat at this time."
"Where's the crab meat pot we promised?"
"My saliva..."
Cut the crab legs into palm lengths and throw them directly into a super large cast iron pot with the crab pieces to stew.
When the remaining soup in the pot is almost gone, pour all the juice from the many crabs into the square tray into the pot.
Sikong continued to change the color on his face,
"I think..."
"It smells so damn good! It smells so good!"
"The feeling at this time...it's actually really bad. I wish I was blind."
"It's red, green, yellow, and I'm so good at it - I didn't even get it when I ate green curry rat rice in Xiacheng District last time, really."
Whenever he was cooking, Boss Lin's language talent would always be unlocked beyond the ordinary. He said to himself,
"These soups are better than any soup that can be blended the day after tomorrow. The consistency is just right. The biggest fear of shrimp and crab meat pot is that the shrimp and crab meat will be as hard as rubber skin, so when adding soup, it is better to be thicker than not. Add water directly. If it is too thin, the water inside the crab meat will be drawn out, and the meat will of course become older as it cooks."
Qin Wuyong looked impressed, but the others were obviously only concerned about one issue at the moment, and that was when they could eat.
Lin Chou picked up a bottle of green salt and sprinkled some of it. Then she realized something was wrong and looked at the mouth of the goose-neck bottle for a while.
"Flowers of Salt?"
Sikong nodded indifferently,
"Yeah...should?"
Lin Chou rolled her eyes.
"Damn it, I spent so much effort last time to get a little more. You're lucky, it's just a big bottle."
Sikong said that as long as you are happy,
"I never cared about that."
It's his business to love to eat, but how can he, Mr. Sikong, eat the best and most exquisite ones? That belongs to other people's business scope. He has several teams of people around him who are responsible for these trivial matters.
Lin Chou cut the peppers aggressively, and the red and green fresh peppers quickly turned into beautiful and even thin pepper rings on the chopping board. He cut a large bowl and then sprinkled it in. Crab meat in a cast iron pot.
Finally, snap on the biggest crab shell - the last pretense, oh no, the final presentation depends entirely on it to refresh the mind.
Add a little coriander, a pinch of sesame seeds, a few drops of sesame oil, and cover the pot.
Pour half a bottle of strong white wine along the side of the pot.
"Boom~"
The tile-blue flame leaped up to Lao Gao, and in three seconds, the lid was opened.
"Move it to the table and put a charcoal stove under it - I saw some seaweed somewhere before, so I got some and cooked it together."
Qin Wuyong muttered,
"Haifancai? What kind, why haven't I seen it..."
Lin Chou searched carefully.
"Isn't that what it is? Sea beets, also known as sea beets, are wild vegetables native to Europe and are the ancestors of modern beets. They are almost everywhere on the Myeonggwang seaside. They are very crisp. They are great for shabu-shabu soup, especially with clams. , geoducks, oysters and other seafood.”
A handful of small sea beets with long stems and round leaves may be mistaken for weeds on the beach if you are not paying attention. In the alleys near the coast in Xiacheng District, a plate of cold sea beets is always on the table.
This thing can grow very vigorously on the tidal flats on the beach and even in the crevices of rocks. It is a wild vegetable that can be found in all seasons. Lin Chou, who was born in Xiacheng District, naturally knows it very well, and he also has a very special feeling for this thing. .
Sikong looked at the basket of vegetables and twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Okay, Coplin, you win, my master's knowledge has improved again."
Lin Chou was still rummaging around,
"It would be better if there are mustard leaves, the taste goes well..."
Everyone's gluttonous mouths have long been hungry and thirsty, and they don't want to hear so much.
"Come on, come on, eat, eat, eat."
Shan Ye stretched out his chopsticks and picked out a piece of snake meat from the cast iron pot that kept making a beeping noise.
"I'll meet you first!"
It has an unexpected fragrance, and it almost doesn't resemble snake meat at all, especially snake meat that is fried to such a crispy texture.
The meat immediately fell apart in the mouth, and the snake meat seemed extremely smooth. The fragrance was unmistakable, and the faint smell of crab meat took the leading role.
Very loose shredded meat, not messy taste, overall, this snake meat can fully satisfy the picky taste buds of most people.
"This... Mr. Shan, I have never eaten snake meat like this... Why do I feel like I'm drinking the classic chrysanthemum and sea snake soup in Mingguang Alley? It's smooth... and it actually has a floral aroma. Same feeling.”
Lin Chou said,
"The flavor of snake meat is inherently bland - at first I was wondering if it would be a dark dish, but now it seems that the effect is not bad. I remember that the aborigines of the Zhoushan Islands before the catastrophe had this cooking method. It’s served with various wild vegetables, but it’s on the lighter side and not so spicy.”
Shanye smacked his lips and said,
"Okay, okay, but is this spicy? It's really not as spicy as the chili peppers you grow in the mountains. It's far from spicy. It doesn't taste spicy at all."
Of course what Mr. Shan is talking about is the devil pepper, which is not at the same level of spiciness as this one.
Lin Chou held the bowl and ate the meat.
"The main thing is to borrow the taste of fresh chili pepper. Spicy is not a very important ingredient."
Crab legs as long as a palm are rolling in the cast iron pot, attracting everyone's attention at the same time.
It feels like a king crab. The main thing you eat is the leg meat, and the crab body meat comes second.
The crab meat in the spider crab's legs is unusually plump, leaving no gaps, and feels heavy when held between chopsticks.
Sikong finally swallowed his saliva,
"Then if that's the case, I won't be polite!"
