Chapter 138 Too Ugly, No Appetite

Jian Yan told them how to dismantle the crabs and demonstrated it to them before asking them if they had learned it.

"I've learned it."

I was so confident when I said it, but after I actually tried it, I found that I had learned nothing.

Jian Yan's seemingly simple movements are full of skills and cleverness.

After learning how to cook, they once again experienced the sad feeling of having their brain and eyes tell them that they have learned it, but their hands make them fail.

Several people worked hard to remove a crab leg, while Jian Yan had already easily removed a crab.

In the end, they didn't even finish picking up one crab, and the rest were all taken up by Jian Yan alone.

"Xiao Jian, your hand speed is too scary."

I didn't even see how she did it, but I saw her hand holding the scissors moving quickly, and then all the meat on the crab legs and the crab body was removed, even the crab roe was taken out and put into the basin.

"You'll become more proficient at dismantling things the more you do it."

After saying a few words, Jianyan started to prepare the filling using chicken soup, crab roe, crab meat and chopped green onion and ginger, and then started to wrap it.

The following scene was a visual feast for Yu Tangzhen and the others.

In Jian Yan's hands, the thin dough was transformed into small, delicate, white, plump buns with wrinkled lace in almost the blink of an eye.

These small buns are neatly placed in——

A green rattan net covered with pure white cotton cloth made by Tang Zhen.

There is no steamer basket, steaming plate or sieve, so in short, a rattan net can only be used instead.

She was very grateful that she was dexterous. When she was playing in her hometown, she was bored and learned some weaving skills from her uncles.

When he was on Egret Star, he made an extremely ugly but very sturdy backpack that belonged to Rabbit Dad, in order to make it easier to carry things.

In addition, she also wove several rattan nets of different sizes as if her brain was cramping.

It’s a good thing I had a brain cramp at that time, otherwise I would have nothing to steam buns with now.

"It looks pretty good." Looking at the small and exquisite buns, the quiet Tan Ming couldn't help but sigh.

Jian Yan smiled and said, "It tastes even better. Let's steam it."

"Leave it to me."

Qiao Xi, who had experience in steaming crabs, took over the job of putting the crabs in the pot. "How much water should I put in?"

"Just don't go through this net."

Jian Yan began to make shrimp dumplings without stopping. One by one, the shrimp dumplings with thin skin and plump filling were formed under her skillful hands and lay on the rattan net as obediently as the buns.

Tang Zhen was itching to try it out, and said, "Let me try?"

Jianyan's answer was to silently move aside, and then several people started to try to make shrimp dumplings.

To be honest, you can’t learn how to make any pasta just by watching.

Even the most talented people need to practice again and again to become proficient and good-looking.

Except for those who are clumsy and will be defeated by their clumsy talents no matter how much they learn.

Although Tang Zhen and his friends had a certain foundation in cooking, they had no experience in making shrimp dumplings, which was a new area for them.

If it’s not wrapped well, it’s not wrapped well.

It is normal for the skin to be small, the filling to be small and the shape to be ugly, and it is even more normal for the skin to be broken and the filling to leak out.

Looking at the shrimp dumplings lying on the vine net, which were either dry and shriveled or torn, Jian Yan couldn't bear to look at them and sighed.

"You guys can handle these later."

It's so ugly that it makes me lose my appetite.

Tang Zhen and the others, "..."

Although their bags are indeed ugly compared to Jianyan's, can you please not be so ruthless and cold in your disdain and criticism of them?

Well, can't you just comfort them a little since it's their first time?
