Chapter 91: Crab Race
Chapter 91 Crab Race
Wen Mingtang seemed unaware that the sauce in the house was stolen. He neither searched for it in a big way nor went around shouting about the thief.
Everything was as if nothing had happened.
Master Wang, who stole the sauce and sold it to a restaurant in the city, studied the recipe and waited for a long time without any news. He couldn't help but be surprised: Is this girl named Wen so easy to talk to?
Wen Mingtang, who was said to be "easy to talk to", was preparing the evening meal with Ah Bing and glutinous rice balls.
It rained twice in Zhuangzi today and the roads were flooded, so we didn't have time to deliver the vegetables.
Seeing that Zhuangzi had not sent any food today, Master Sun, who was making lunch, immediately "unceremoniously" used all the remaining pork meat from yesterday for lunch.
When it was Wen Mingtang's turn to cook dinner, there were no meat dishes to cook.
Ji Caimai, who had been dealing with Zhuangzi all day today, returned to Dali Temple after lunch. He saw that the stingy bastard Master Sun started to play tricks on everyone again when everyone was busy.
The master called him out and scolded him.
After being reprimanded, Master Sun was obedient in front of Ji Caimai. When he turned around and saw Wen Mingtang, he sneered and muttered in a voice that Wen Mingtang could hear, "We'll see!"
This "wait and see" means that she has no meat to cook tonight.
Ah Bing and Tang Yuan jumped up and down angrily, and greeted Master Sun and his family several times in succession. However, no matter how much they greeted them, there was nothing they could do as the evening eclipse was approaching.
After scolding each other for a while, the two of them had no choice but to look at Wen Mingtang: "Master Wen, what should we do now?"
Zhuang Zitang glanced at the basket full of eggs and said, "Something's wrong! Just cook!"
Just wash rice, cook, and prepare vegetables as usual.
Several vegetarian dishes were washed and cut quickly. Zha Yuntang took Wen Ming and glutinous rice balls with him, put several stir-fried vegetable dishes on the pot, and taught them how to pay attention to the heat and key points of stir-frying the vegetable dishes. Mo Sisun and Wang
The two chefs cooked the delicious vegetarian dishes until they were ready to be eaten.
Before the vegetable dishes were fried, Cha Yun and Tangyuan looked at the steaming vegetable dishes under the table: To be fair, with Master Sun's skills, the vegetable dishes are naturally fried well, and they look green and clear, which makes them look delicious.
It makes people feel refreshed. However, eating only vegetarian dishes always feels too refreshing. Moreover, officials who have been busy all morning are already hungry and their chests are close to their backs. How can they taste some meat dishes in the evening?
Just as I was thinking that, I heard a sound of eggs being knocked from the side.
Turning around, he saw Zhuang Zitang cracking an egg and separating the yolk from the egg white.
What were they doing? Wen Ming and Tang Yuan looked over curiously.
Zhuang Zitang called the two of them over to help, while he mixed the sauce with ginger, vinegar, salt and sugar.
Cha Yun and Tang Yuan were making eggs while watching. Seeing that, Cha Yun couldn't help asking Zhuang Zitang: "Master Sun, what are you going to do?"
Zha Yuntang put the prepared sauce aside, raised his head, smiled at me, and said, "Let's have a crab race!"
What? Crab? Wen Ming and Tang Yuan looked at each other after hearing this, then looked up at the separated egg yolk and white in their hands.
So...making crabs with eggs?
As Zhuang Zitang said, he only calculated the portions, and before the two of them had separated the yolks and whites of the eggs, they poured in the prepared sauce and poured vegetable oil into the front pot.
Pour this small bowl of protein into the pot, quickly spread it with a spatula, and immediately remove it from the pot before it is formed.
The two of them looked at Zhuang Zitang's movements and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Master Sun's fried egg whites are so slow!"
Without saying anything, Zhuang Zitang added the egg yolks again, using the same method, but slower than frying the egg whites just now. Before the egg yolks were poured in, he immediately lifted the pot aside and used the remaining cold to break up the egg yolks and fry them into shapes.
Before taking the pot off, place the egg whites on the bottom and the egg yolks underneath. Plates of yellow and white egg yolks and egg whites are arranged under the countertop.
Just...that's it?
The two of them looked at the egg white and yolk. To be honest, if anyone had seen Master Sun make it with their own eyes, it would indeed look very similar to the plump crab meat and roe of April Mid-Autumn Festival.
But the taste...
Zha Yuntang handed over a plate and said: "Let's eat the evening food first!"
…
…
After working all morning, it was finally time for the evening meal. The case of the puppet show was closed, and Zhao Xiaoren took the initiative to take over the summary of the case file. Liu Yuan and others rarely had free time, so they took a few story books to pass the time.
We haven't read enough cases, so we are not really interested in romance novels. Instead, fantasy and ghost novels interest us the most.
After watching stories about spirits harming people and Taoist priests catching monsters all morning, as soon as the bell rang for the evening meal, the two of them hurriedly threw down their storybooks and rushed to the kitchen.
For lunch, this pot of braised pork cooked by Master Wen was so old that I couldn’t pick the meat stuck between my teeth all morning, but I was so upset that I was thinking about Master Sun’s evening meal!
When I arrived at the public kitchen, I took a quick look and saw several fried vegetable dishes that I had seen before. What can I say? Master Sun’s craftsmanship would be unpalatable if it was displayed outside, but this yellow and white...
…
Bai Zhu was surprised: "It's still April now, and A Bing is sending crabs?"
Cha Yun, who was finishing his dinner at the side, licked the vegetable juice at the corner of his mouth and opened his mouth. When he saw the glutinous rice balls secretly waving towards me, he immediately closed his mouth and said nothing, just serving food for everyone.
Wen Ming, who usually talks little and holds his tongue, actually said nothing? Liu Yuan glanced at me, took the plate, and walked to the nearest food table with Bai Zhu and the other seven and sat down.
Naturally, the first chopstick turned towards the plate of yellow and white crabs.
When the crab roe and crab meat is put into your mouth, the delicious taste of the crab meat dipped in the sauce comes from the tip of your tongue. The crab meat is slightly harder than the crab roe, and the sauce brings out the freshness of the crab meat. It really seems like eating it during the Mid-Autumn Festival in April.
The crab meat is delicious, and the crab roe is still dripping with oil, so the texture is softer and more tender, without the yellowish feeling of crab fat.
After taking one bite, Liu Yuan just nodded and praised: "What a fat crab! There are only seven or seven in such a small bowl. I'm afraid it comes first. Everyone goes up with only seven or seven... Ah Bing, I'm afraid it's
There are so few crabs!”
To be honest, the crab meat and crab roe are really fake! But after all, I have been staying in Xiaoli Temple for a few years, and there are not many things under the cloud. This is what Xiaojia thinks. It is April crabs are on the market.
At that time, it was impossible for one person to get so few crabs, let alone such thick and creamy crabs.
Although there is indeed a difference in the mouth, it may be a real crab, and the people in Xiaoli Temple still don't have that kind of inference ability.
Wen Ming, who had been holding back his words for a long time, finally got permission from Tang Yuan and spoke out: "This dish is called Sai Crab, and Master Sun makes it with eggs!"
