Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 337 The first person to eat crabs
"Is this food really edible? Young master, aren't you afraid of being poisonous?" the old man asked with a puzzled expression.

As soon as he heard this, he knew that he had never eaten crabs. It is estimated that people in the entire Tang Dynasty had never eaten crabs. Now that he was the first person to eat crabs, Wang Pingan was a little excited thinking about it.

He gave the old man and the young man a reassuring look, and then shouted at Zhao Hao: "Zhao Hao, you now..."

Wang Pingan arranged some things. He wanted to catch crabs here, and by the way, he would do it here once, so that everyone would be the first to eat crabs.

Half an hour later, a table and chairs were placed by the river, and Wang Ping'an and the old man's grandfather and grandson were sitting there. On the table were several bowls, two wine jugs, a few pairs of chopsticks, and chopped green onion in a bowl. , one with minced garlic, three empty bowls, and two wine jugs filled with soy sauce and vinegar respectively. They are all made of materials selected by Wang Pingan himself. It can be said that this is the only one.

There is also a set of tools on the table. This is a crab-eating tool that Wang Ping'an just asked people to build. In order to build this set of tools, Zhao Hao also went to the military camp specially to let the Mo family put down their work and hurriedly built it. Due to time constraints, this set is a bit rough, and I have already made it again after passing by Jingjing. It is estimated that I can build five or six sets before the dinner.

A pit was dug next to it, a few stones were placed, and a slightly larger steamer was placed on top to form a simple hearth, with a fire already started underneath.

And next to Hetang, where the hairy crabs come ashore, a very large fishing net is placed. Ten freshly killed carp are placed in the middle of the net. Go ashore, catch them all, and there will be a banquet at night.

According to the past, the imperial palace entertained ministers, as long as it was not an important day to entertain the ministers, almost only officials of the third rank and above in the court were eligible to attend the banquet, and even I was not qualified. As far as officials are concerned, one or two fifth-rank officials can be hit by a falling brick.

Zhao Hao came over with a fishing rod in hand and said, "Young master, everything is ready, only owes the east wind."

"Well, after the crabs come up, you have to be fast and catch more, and then please have a meal first." Wang Pingan took the fishing rod and ordered.

"It's the young master."

Zhao Hao told everyone what Wang Ping'an said, and everyone thanked them together.

Wang Pingan picked up the fishing rod and started to drop the fish.

The old man saw that there was no fishhook on the boat, and he was helping a piece of fish instead. He couldn't help asking curiously: "Master, are you fishing? Why is there no hook?"

"Haha... the old man doesn't know, what I'm catching is not fish, but hairy crabs." Just as Wang Pingan finished speaking, he felt the pulling force of the fishing rod, and said excitedly: "Here, Zhao Hao, I'm ready." What about the barrel?"

"coming."

When Wang Pingan pulled the fishing rod, a huge hairy crab was holding the fish meat on the fishing rod, and he refused to let it go.

Wang Pingan put the hairy crabs on the top, shook the fishing line vigorously, and shook the hairy crabs off. The frozen hairy crabs were nervously crawling left and right, trying to escape from the barrel.

Wang Ping'an smiled again: "Haha... I caught you, then just wait to enter my five internal organs temple."

Wang Pingan ignored everyone, and then threw the fishing line into the river again. Within a few minutes, another hairy crab was caught.

About half an hour later, Wang Pingan had ordered 23 hairy crabs. He put down his fishing rod and said to Chef Lin: "Fatty Lin, go and wash these hairy crabs, brush them with a brush, and steam them. After a quarter of an hour It can be cooked."

Fatty Lin is Chef Lin. His full name is Lin Fantong. When he was a child, he could eat too much, so his parents often called him an idiot, and he was very fat, so everyone didn’t call him by his name. He also liked being called that.

"Hey, the villain will do it now." After Fatty Lin took the barrel, he was stumped again. How to catch the hairy crabs, he can only trouble Wang Pingan again.

Wang Pingan said angrily: "Grab the back of the hairy crab, you can see clearly." After speaking, he quickly grabbed a hairy crab.

I saw eight of the hairy crab's legs shaking vigorously in the air, and the two big pincers were clawing and clawing, trying to grab the person who wanted to pinch him.

When Chef Lin saw it, he quickly said: "The villain sees it clearly, and the villain will do it right away." He walked to the river and faced the other three chefs. He caught the hairy crabs very ostentatiously, and began to teach them, The look of the chef is unmistakable.

Soon the first pot of hairy crabs came out. The faint aroma did not arouse other people's appetite at all, but it aroused Wang Pingan's food.

"Quick, quick, bring it here," he urged.

23 hairy crabs were placed in front of him, and he grabbed the crabs with his hands regardless of his image.

"Master, be careful it's hot."

"Ah, it's so hot."

The first sound was Chef Lin's worried reminder, and the second sound was Wang Ping'an's cry of being burned.

Zhao Hao asked with concern: "Master, are you alright?"

"It's okay, it's okay, you need to organize it over there, otherwise, you can sit down and eat with me." Wang Pingan said.

"It's okay, I want to eat. There will be plenty of opportunities to eat in the future." Zhao Hao said very coolly and went to work.

Wang Pingan used to like to eat hairy crabs with him. He knew that eight pieces of crabs are used to eat hairy crabs. It takes two hours to finish eating a hairy crab, but after eating, the crab shell can be put back into the original one. , that is the best mood for eating hairy crabs.

Wang Pingan sterilized the crab pots, crab scissors, crab needles, crab spoons, crab hammers, long-handled axes, crab claws, and picking stools with boiling water at high temperature.

In the meantime, he poured soy sauce, vinegar, chopped green onion, and minced garlic into an empty bowl, stirred them, and then tried the taste with chopsticks. He found it a bit salty, so he added a little more vinegar, and waited until he was satisfied. , and then take out eight crabs.

"Old man, don't just look around. The seasonings are here, and the empty bowl is also here. You can adjust the flavor you want. If you can't bite, I will lend you the tools. Well, forget it, it's easy to use tools. It's a waste of time, you don't have that skill, so just use your hands."

After Wang Pingan finished talking, he caught a crab and started to do it. He found that if he used tools, they would also think of using tools. It would be a waste of time to eat crabs like this. Ordinary people don’t have so much time. Tools are better kept at night. Use it in the palace.

So he also gave up using tools, but he still needs to use them when eating crab claws, and he needs to protect his small teeth.

Wang Pingan opened the crab cover with his hands, and then took out a large piece of crab paste with chopsticks. The reddish crab paste beckoned Wang Pingan to do it.Without hesitation, he put the crab paste into the sauce that he had just prepared, and then put it into his mouth in one bite. The taste was extremely satisfying.

"meet……"

As soon as the crab paste entered his mouth, Wang Ping'an subconsciously let out a satisfied sound. Even though the steamed crab had no extraordinary aroma and failed to arouse everyone's appetite, Wang Ping'an's expression of satisfaction made everyone gulp .

After eating the crab paste, Wang Pingan saw that the old man and his grandson did not do anything, and said: "Old man, don't just watch, eat."

Then directly help them open a crab paste, dip the crab paste into the sauce, put it directly into an empty bowl and pass it to the old man, then open another crab cover, take out the crab paste and dip it in the sauce, put it in an empty bowl, and pass it to the old man. to teenagers.

Perhaps because they couldn't match Wang Ping'an's enthusiasm, the old man and the young man picked up the chopsticks, picked up the crab paste and put it in their mouths. Then the two of them widened their eyes and forgot to respond.

Wang Pingan looked at them with a smile, he knew that the two of them were shocked by the deliciousness.

After a while, the two of them put on a very satisfied look, and the old man said tremblingly: "I didn't expect, I really didn't expect that this hairy crab would be so delicious, such a delicacy, I would have released them or killed them for nothing in previous years." them."

As the old man talked, he beat his chest and stamped his feet remorsefully, while the young man beside him grabbed a hairy crab heartlessly, and then looked at Wang Ping'an with a pair of bright eyes, wanting to know what to do next.

Seeing that his grandson had already picked up the hairy crab, the old man patted the back of his head lightly, and picked up the hairy crab that Wang Pingan had prepared for him, and looked at Wang Pingan with his eyes open.

And Wang Pingan began to eat the hairy crabs with a smile. He first cleaned up all the inedible parts, then gently broke the hairy crabs into two, and then began to eat with sauce, and his mouth was immediately filled with fresh, sweet and smooth crabs Meat.

After eating the body, eat crab claws. Although there is not much meat, it is also a delicacy.

Soon the three of them killed one hairy crab each, followed by the second and the third.The old man and his grandson ate faster and faster, and soon when they ate the fifth one, something happened on the scene.

"The hairy crabs have landed."

After a few shouts, everyone concentrated on watching the hairy crab crawl into the prepared trap.

Sure enough, as Wang Pingan expected, almost all the hairy crabs that came ashore crawled into the big net with fish meat. Soon, nearly a thousand hairy crabs crawled into the big net, but there were still a lot of hairy crabs outside the big net.

Under the leadership of Zhao Hao, everyone caught the hairy crabs in the big net and tied them up to prevent them from escaping.

As for the hairy crabs outside the big net, whoever catches them owns them. There was an atmosphere of catching hairy crabs at the scene. Joined the action of catching hairy crabs.
