Six portions of sea crab were prepared in three different flavors: scallion and ginger, spicy, and all-flavor. (Images of scallion and ginger crab, spicy crab, and all-flavor crab are from the internet.) While the scallion and ginger crab was being prepared, Xiao Kai was already drooling; while the spicy crab was being prepared, Xiao Kai was practically drooling...
As the full-flavor crab entered his mouth, Xiao Kai closed his eyes in bliss!
"Uh-huh!"
The nasal tone took eighteen turns.
Liu Jie is older and prefers light flavors. Although he raves about the taste of spicy crab and all-flavor crab, he eats scallion and ginger crab more often.
Xiao Kai and Liu Jie each had their own preferences when it came to the mud crabs and swimming crabs they brought, but overall, the swimming crabs tasted better when cooked with scallions and ginger, while the mud crabs tasted better when cooked with spicy and all-around flavors.
After finishing cooking the remaining crabs, Ruan Meng left one plate for her family and packed the rest into a food box.
Two plates of small eels were taken out and stir-fried in a pot until fragrant. Wild Sichuan peppercorn powder, salt, scallions, and garlic were added. Xiao Kai almost ate the plates as well.
She left one plate and put it into a food box.
Ruan Meng called her elder brother over, copied down the three methods, and had Xiao Kai take them away with him.
Xiao Kai originally wanted to help, but he didn't expect the Ruan family to be building a house when he came out.
Without informing Manager Yu, it's not appropriate to linger.
Xiao Kai had a feeling that the preparation methods of scallion and ginger crab, spicy crab, and all-flavor crab would replace seafood in dipping sauce as the signature dish of Hejia Restaurant, so he was in a hurry to get back.
Ruan Meng treated her elder brother and sister-in-law to special meals, letting them try some of the reserved crab and salt and pepper eel.
Not only did her sister-in-law praise him, but her brother, who usually prefers light flavors, also developed a great appetite under Ruan Meng's influence.
The second son returned midway, worried that his elder brother, sister-in-law, and younger sister might need help, but...
The sky has fallen!
"You, you actually ate behind my back?!"
The eldest brother's image in the second brother's eyes has completely collapsed!
He always felt that his older brother loved him the most!
How could my brother do that? He'd be cheating on me by eating behind my back!
Even if a sow could climb a tree, the eldest brother wouldn't ignore him and try to steal food for himself!
The second son was utterly shocked, spinning around in place, completely unable to calm down.
The eldest brother picked up a spicy crab and handed it to the second brother.
"You eat one, you eat one too!"
The second child was still spinning around, completely unable to calm down.
"We've saved some for you, there's plenty, there's plenty!"
The older brother was still trying to comfort him.
"Want some? It'll get fishy if it gets cold!"
Ruan Meng stared wide-eyed, and her second brother immediately stopped and took the spicy crab.
Wow! Little sister! How are you so amazing?!
"How could I possibly eat such delicious crab?"
"My sister is amazing! The spicy crab smells so good, it's so delicious!"
......
Although Ruan Meng was confident in her cooking skills, her second brother's performance was... well...
It's so embarrassing.
The second child, worried that leaving for too long might be seen as slacking off, ate a few small eels and then reluctantly left on his own.
The third child is just like a cat; I don't know if it smelled the grease, or if it saw the second child's greasy mouth and finger-licking behavior...
In short, the third brother returned shortly after the second brother left.
He went straight to the kitchen and looked around.
It's practically a given that everyone is eating delicious food behind his back.
"Third brother, it's here, I saved it for you."
"There are too many people outside, so it's not appropriate to openly eat alone..."
Ruan Meng offered to explain, but the third brother remained expressionless; judging from his expression, he wasn't very happy.
Ruan Meng suddenly realized that the only thing that could turn the siblings against each other was food.
Definitely a foodie!
The third brother picked up the plate and quickly ate a crab.
He ate the crabs so fast that he could finish the remaining few in no time, but he still held back and looked up, "Big brother, sister-in-law, has little sister eaten yet?"
The eldest brother's voice was gentle, "They've all eaten, third brother, you can eat without worry."
The elder sister-in-law had a touched yet somewhat guilty expression.
Ruan Meng chuckled softly and brought out the remaining salt and pepper eel. (Image of salt and pepper eel from the internet) After a while, the third brother covered his mouth and burped. Before leaving, he said to Ruan Meng:
"I want to eat this again for lunch!"
The third brother didn't see the crab and Xiao Kai, so he knew they had already gone back.
There were no crabs, but plenty of small eels, which he had caught himself.
Unexpectedly, the baby eel was so delicious. The third brother narrowed his eyes slightly and curled the corners of his lips.
The second brother, who was carrying bricks on site, suddenly sneezed. Was someone thinking of him?
But intuition is not always a good thing.
