Chapter 132 Spicy Crab
Ma Yinghe listened from the side and said: "It won't be long. We should have pork soon."
"With pork, you can make a lot of delicious things."
Zhu Tao carefully stir-fried the eggplant with soy sauce. When it was done, she asked Wen Zhenyi to taste it and asked, "Does it taste right?"
Wen Zhenyi gave her a thumbs up: "It tastes good."
Zhu Tao smiled and served the stir-fried eggplant.
Zhu Tao was not asked to come and fry the crabs, but to watch from the side.
Pour oil into the pot, add onion, ginger and garlic, and stir-fry over low heat until fragrant.
While Wen Zhenyi was frying the onions, ginger, and garlic, he said to Zhu Tao, "You can add chili peppers here, but we have two children, so we won't put chili peppers here. You can add chili peppers when you make it next time."
Zhu Tao watched carefully and remembered her words carefully: "Okay."
Wen Zhenyi then turned the heat to high, poured the chopped crabs into the pot, stir-fried them quickly, added a large spoonful of cooking wine, and then added soy sauce seasoning.
"Xiao Taozi, after stir-frying for a while, add some hot water. You don't need a lot. When there is only 10% of water left, taste it with chopsticks and add salt to taste appropriately."
"Okay, I'll remember that."
Wen Zhenyi doesn’t even need to taste the food she cooks. These things are already ingrained in her, and it’s not difficult for her to make them now.
She didn't collect all the soup, but left some so that it would taste more flavorful.
A large pot of fried crabs came out of the pot, and the smell made people drool unconsciously.
Wen Zhenyi's spicy crabs were ready, and brothers Shen Xiucai and Wen Yongnan also returned on time.
The rice and steamed eggs with tofu in the pot are already cooked.
Wen Zhenyi looked at them and asked, "Do you want white rice or rice with soy sauce?"
"We all want to try soy sauce rice."
Wen Zhenyi smiled and said, "Okay."
She returned to the kitchen and served each person a bowl of steaming rice. She put a small spoonful of lard on the rice, poured a little soy sauce on it, and sprinkled some chopped green onions.
Zhu Tao looked at the bibimbap she made and said, "It smells delicious."
"It smells good, right? It has the aroma of lard and soy sauce." Wen Zhenyi brought out the rice mixed with soy sauce and placed it in front of each of them.
Shen Xiucai touched the beard on his chin and said: "This smells really good."
"It will taste even better." Wen Zhenyi said as he gave two spoons to Xiao Abu and Wen Yongman.
Both of them couldn't wait to scoop a spoonful, blew on it with their mouths and put it into their mouths.
“It’s delicious.”
Wen Chengwen also picked up the bowl and took a bite: "It smells delicious, it really smells delicious."
Wen Zhenyi ate rice with soy sauce and used clean chopsticks to pick up some crabs and put them on the plate to peel the crab meat. "It's a pity that there are no crab meat dishes, otherwise it would be so convenient to peel the crab meat."
Shen Hanxing looked at her curiously: “What are the eight crab pieces?”
"It's a tool for peeling crab meat." Wen Zhen distributed the peeled crab meat to everyone at the table: "Try it."
Ma Yinghe took a bite of crab meat and said, "I always thought it was just a shell, but I didn't expect it to be so delicious."
"Mom, actually the crab shell is not hard. You can bite out the crab meat with just a gentle bite of your teeth." Wen Zhenyi himself likes to bite it with his mouth so that he can taste the soup.
"I'll try."
Everyone else also started to attack the crab, including the two children.
Wen Zhenyi was afraid that little Abu couldn't chew it, so he peeled a lot for him: "Don't bite your little teeth off."
Little Abu bit a crab leg, his hands covered in soup: "Sister, I can bite it."
"Slow down, don't get stuck."
"good."
Shen Hanxing also ate two pieces of crab meat, half a bowl of rice with soy sauce, and some steamed eggs with tofu.
Wen Zhenyi put down his bowl and chopsticks when he saw him: "Are you full?"
"Yeah, I've been eating a lot lately."
"Eat more. I don't see you gaining weight." Wen Zhenyi looked him up and down.
Chen Hanxing was speechless: You didn’t see the flesh under my clothes.
Wen Yongnan put down his bowl and chopsticks: "Does this soy sauce rice contain lard?"
"Brother, did you figure it out?" Wen Zhenyi looked at him with a smile.
"Hmm, I smell the aroma of lard."
"Yes, there is lard, but we don't have much lard left here. If you want to eat it, you have to wait until the next time pork is sold."
"I think it should be soon."
The herbal tea to be sold at noon today is ready, so there is no need to rush to do anything.
Wen Zhenyi considered that if Hu Zi's mother and the others came, should they separate a little? Otherwise, everyone would be too tired. They would get up early in the morning and would not be able to rest at noon.
If this continues, my body won’t be able to take it.
Ma Yinghe looked at her and said, "Yiyi, why don't you go to sleep for a while? Everything is ready, so there's no need to go through so much trouble."
"Mom, it's okay. I'm not that tired today."
Wen Chengwen also looked at Shen Hanxing: “Hanxing, you should also go and rest for a while. Xiaonan and the others’ room is empty, you can sleep for a while.”
"Uncle Wen, no need. I didn't take much rest at noon before, so I'm used to it."
Wen Zhenyi looked at the two of them and said, "Dad and Mom, take little Abu to sleep for a while, and Xiao Taozi should also go and rest for a while. Brother Shen and I will be busy here first. You guys rest for a while, and then we can take over."
Seeing that Little Abu was a little listless, Ma Yinghe nodded and agreed: "Okay, we'll sleep for a while and then you guys can take over."
Wen Zhenyi stretched and said, "Brother Shen, let's sell herbal tea."
Shen Hanxing nodded: "Okay."
The two of them opened the shop door, and customers came in one after another: "Miss Wen, do you have Qingbuliang today?"
"Yes, would you like one?"
"Yes, I want one."
"I want one too."
"I want ice jelly."
"Guest, we don't have ice jelly today. We only have lemon honey and lemon passion fruit honey water."
"Okay, give me lemon passion fruit honey water."
“.....”
Wen Zhenyi wrote down what the guest needed and went to the kitchen to bring in the food.
Shen Hanxing collected money, made change, and kept accounts.
The two of them cooperated very well and were not panicked at all.
"Miss Wen, is this water boiled with corn silk?"
Wen Zhen nodded slightly: "Yes, if you usually buy corn at home, or grow corn, you can cook the corn together with the husk and corn silk, and drink the boiled corn water."
"This is good. I didn't know this before and lost a lot of corn silk."
"When you don't want to drink it, you can dry it out and store it. When you want to drink it, just boil it in water."
"That's good, it's convenient and saves trouble."
Some customers would ask how these ingredients were cooked, and Wen Zhenyi was generous in telling them the methods. As for whether they could make them or not, that depended on their own talent.
Butler Cheng and Madam Meng's maid also came to buy drinks.
