The Imperial Chef's Restaurant
What Zhao Siqi said was a bit misleading, and many guests had already looked towards this place.
Bai Yinuo felt a bit of a headache seeing this. In order to stop Zhao Siqi from continuing to say these weird things, after thinking about it, he promised her and other customers that he would sell crab stuffed oranges for a while longer.
With the welcome of many old customers, the crab stuffed orange has become very popular as soon as it was put on the shelves, and the demand for crabs in Baiji Restaurant has doubled. Bai Yinuo contacted the crab farm through Ji Zihuai. However, Bai Yinuo has high requirements for ingredients and likes to select them personally. However, the farm is far away, and it takes a whole day to go back and forth, which is not convenient to go there in person.
Bai Yino was a little worried about the quality of the crabs. What if the next batch of goods was not as good as this one?
Fortunately, the owner of the farm took the needs of customers into consideration and offered to select crabs through video.
Compared to the orders from big customers that often amount to several trucks, Bai Yinuo's order was pitifully small. Not only that, Bai Yinuo had a lot of requirements. Others might be unhappy, but the owner of the farm was not impatient.
Bai Yinuo said gratefully: "Thank you for your help."
The owner of the farm said generously: "It's okay, the person who introduced you is my friend. But what are you going to do with these crabs?"
"I run a restaurant, and I buy these crabs to make crab stuffed oranges."
The farm owner only knew how to cook crabs in steamed, spicy and fried styles, and had no idea what crab stuffed with orange was. He asked curiously, "I've been raising crabs for so many years, but I've never heard of crab stuffed with orange. Is this some new internet celebrity way to eat it?"
“It’s not a celebrity way of eating. It’s an ancient way of eating. Cook the crab meat and orange meat and put them into a hollowed-out orange to eat.”
When the owner of the farm heard Bai Yinuo's words on the phone, he thought to himself, isn't this a waste of crabs?
If you want the original flavor, you can steam it. If you want it to be spicy and refreshing, you can add spicy flavor.
What the hell is crab stuffed orange?
I guess it’s just the little girl cooking by herself.
The owner of the farm didn't take it seriously, but out of politeness he didn't say it to his face.
Suzhou is very close to Haishi, only twenty minutes by high-speed rail.
In the afternoon, the farm delivered the crabs that Bai Yino had selected.
Liu Shan, the owner of the farm, usually doesn't make a trip to the farm for such small orders, but his child happens to be studying at Haishi No. 2 Middle School. After he found out that the address of this order was so close to his child's location, he thought that he could visit his child after delivering the goods, so he came to deliver the goods in person.
Seeing that there was not enough staff in the store, Liu Shan even helped Ji Zihuai move all the crabs in the car to the backyard.
Although the autumn wind is gradually rising, the autumn heat has arrived and the temperature in Hai City has not dropped much. There is still a sense of heat in the air.
After Liu Shan finished moving the things, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and the sweat on his back soaked his clothes.
Seeing this, Bai Yinuo took out two crab stuffed oranges from the kitchen. After opening the crab stuffed oranges, he gave them to Ji Zihuai and Liu Shan, and handed them two spoons: "You sweat so much, you need to replenish salt, have a crab stuffed orange."
When Liu Shan saw the crab stuffed with orange, his first reaction was that it was indeed made by a little girl. It was so delicate that you couldn't tell it looked like a crab at all.
The edge of the orange shell has a continuous and complex pattern, and the crystals inside are incredibly soft and elastic.
Liu Shan likes to eat spicy crabs. Looking at this little orange, he just wants to think: Orange-flavored crab meat, how can it be delicious?
This approach is interesting, but the details are not nonsense and the adaptation is not random. In his opinion, this approach is a waste of crabs.
Liu Shan took the crab stuffed with orange hesitantly and took a bite tentatively. His eyes immediately widened and he was stunned.
This taste... is so good.
Under acidic conditions, the protein in crab meat becomes transparent and has a soft and elastic texture. With one bite, you can taste the softness, glutinousness, toughness, fragrance, sweetness and softness of the crab meat.
The combination of crab meat and orange meat was not as strange as he had imagined. Instead, it was like a mountain stream meeting a soulmate, and the match was perfect.
It turns out that crabs can be eaten like this!
He finished a whole crab stuffed orange, and only came back to his senses when he looked at the empty orange shell.
As the owner of a crab farm, he had eaten countless fresh and delicious crabs and was almost sick of them, but he had never eaten such fresh and fragrant crab meat.
This made him wonder if the crab stuffed oranges were made with crab meat from his farm? They were the same crabs, so why didn't the ones he made taste as good?
……………………
After the last class, Liu Zhiwen was planning to go to the cafeteria to eat with his deskmate.
But just as he was about to leave the classroom, a familiar-looking person suddenly came into the classroom.
Liu Zhiwen took a closer look and blurted out, "Dad! Why are you here?"
Liu Shan walked up to Liu Zhiwen and said, "I just happened to be here delivering goods, so I'll bring you something to eat."
Liu Zhiwen then stopped and stood still, full of anticipation for what Liu Shan said. His father was busy with work and rarely came to see him, but when he did, he would buy him a lot of delicious food.
Just as Liu Zhiwen's eyes were shining, Liu Shan took out three take-away boxes from his bag and handed them to him.
Liu Zhiwen took the take-away box and found that the box did not contain the braised pork and spicy crab as he had imagined, but an ordinary navel orange. He was completely stunned.
"Dad, why are you giving me an orange? We have oranges at home."
"You figure it out yourself. If you can't finish it, share it with your classmates." Liu Shan waved his hand and kept it a secret: "I have other orders to deliver. I'm leaving first."
Liu Zhiwen looked puzzled. After Liu Shan left, his desk mate came over.
Liu Shan's father is very generous and always brings Liu Zhiwen a lot of good food every time he comes. After seeing the orange in Liu Shan's hand, his deskmate's expression was exactly the same as Liu Zhiwen's: "Why did your uncle give you oranges?"
"I have no idea."
Liu Zhiwen looked at the orange in his hand and began to wonder, could it be that because he played too many games recently and his grade ranking dropped two or three places, his father was not happy with him?
The things his father gave him were downgraded too much!
He couldn't think of any other reason except that his father was dissatisfied with him.
Just when Liu Zhiwen was feeling anxious, his deskmate came over, pointed at the orange in his hand, and said with surprise, "Your dad is amazing. Although he's not at school, he actually knows what's popular in school recently!"
"What do you mean?" Liu Zhiwen was very confused.
The person at the table in front of them took out his cell phone from his pocket and showed them his circle of friends.
[Do you know how expensive this orange is? No, you don’t. When I bought it, I thought I was paying a waste of money and cried while holding my wallet. But after eating it, I realized how delicious it was! This orange is really worth the price.]
[On my birthday, my mother bought me an orange and sent it to school. My classmates’ families were all very wealthy, and their birthdays were all from A to J. When I got the orange, I was afraid that others would look down on me. I didn’t expect that as soon as I took out the orange and started eating it, everyone in the class came around and asked me where I bought the orange.]
[Today when I went to the office to hand in my homework, I found that the dean of our grade was eating oranges with a spoon. I thought to myself, she is worthy of being the dean of the school. Her way of eating oranges is so unique. Then, I found that not only the dean of the school, but the entire Chinese teaching and research group was eating oranges. But I checked and found that the price of oranges has not dropped recently. Is there an orange festival recently that I don’t know about? ]
[Let me tell you something very strange. The girls in my class no longer use pen holders to hold their pens. Instead, they use orange shells. To be honest, the orange shells are really beautiful. If you get close to them, you can smell a faint fragrance that is not only pleasant but also refreshing. However, they didn't even tell me where they bought the oranges. Where has the friendship between classmates gone?]
After reading these posts, Liu Zhiwen not only did not understand, but became even more confused. He held the orange in his hand and said, "Is this the Hermès of the orange world? But isn't this just a navel orange?"
The student sitting in front of me said, "I don't know either, but oranges are very popular in our school recently. The girls in our class are also addicted to eating oranges, and they eat them secretly without the teacher's knowledge. It seems that eating oranges has become a trend recently."
"Can eating oranges become a trend?" Liu Zhiwen was confused: "Aren't oranges a very common fruit?"
The student at the table in front of me was also puzzled: "I don't know. Everyone who eats oranges is vague and ambiguous, as if they are hiding some secret. I asked the girls in our class why they like eating oranges recently, but they didn't say anything. Could it be that there is gold in the oranges?"
Liu Zhiwen thought for a while, but had no ideas, so he opened the box and took out the oranges.
"Isn't this just a navel... huh?" Liu Zhiwen stared at the orange in his hand, his eyes getting wider and wider.
Because Liu Zhiwen moved the orange with a bit too much force, the lid of the orange moved slightly, revealing the transparent flesh inside.
The crab meat is orange-red and the orange flesh is orange-yellow. When the sunlight shines through it, it really looks like gold at first glance.
The three people couldn't help but stand there in a daze.
Just as the three were stunned by the scene, the crab stuffed orange was opened, and the well-wrapped aroma inside filled the air like a bomb.
The rich aroma of crab, fruit and wine hits you in the face, making you salivate.
Liu Zhiwen was the first to react. He couldn't help but pick up a disposable spoon and scoop a spoonful of fruit pulp into his mouth.
Wow, it’s delicious!
This bite contains crab meat, orange meat and orange juice. It melts in your mouth and bursts with a strong and fresh fragrance.
Liu Zhiwen almost wanted to swallow the spoon as well.
The three people then realized that this was not a simple navel orange, but there was real "gold" inside.
The person at the table in front couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This fragrance is unbearable just by smelling it. No wonder they hide it."
The classmate who had a better relationship with Liu Zhiwen couldn't help but reach out to the remaining crab stuffed oranges: "Brother, you can't finish so much, right? As your younger brother, I naturally have to think about you. Let me solve it for you."
Liu Zhiwen is as generous as his father, and often shares delicious food with his friends. As his good brother, his deskmate often gets some benefits. Of course, his deskmate doesn't always take advantage of Liu Zhiwen, as his family is not short of money, and the two often share snacks.
Relationships are more important than delicious food, this is the consensus the two have always had.
My deskmate thought this time would be no exception and that he would at least be able to have a crab stuffed with orange.
Who knew that as soon as the deskmate stretched out his hand, Liu Zhiwen pushed it away harshly.
Under the confused look of his deskmate, Liu Zhiwen simply hugged the remaining things in his arms.
As for what his father said just now, "Share it with classmates if you can't finish it", Liu Zhiwen said: I forgot.
How could he not finish such delicious crab stuffed orange? He just felt it was not enough.
My deskmate looked pitiful and said, "Our friendship is made of paper."
However, Liu Zhiwen was so immersed in the world of crab stuffed with orange that he forgot about his brother, and their friendship was in jeopardy.
…………………………………………
In Baiji Restaurant, Mrs. Li discovered that Qi Xue had also come here.
Mrs. Li looked embarrassed and at a loss. She didn't even want to seize this good opportunity to build a good relationship with Qi Xue. Before she could even exchange greetings with Qi Xue, she made an excuse to leave because she had something to do.
Qi Xue didn't know Mrs. Li very well and had no idea what she was really thinking. Seeing that she was in a hurry to leave, she smiled and said goodbye to her.
After seeing Mrs. Li off, Qi Xue skillfully walked to the cashier counter and prepared to order a plate of braised lion's head.
What she didn't expect was that the restaurant actually served new dishes.
She originally thought that the braised lion's head dish was the most technically demanding dish in this restaurant, but she didn't expect the crab stuffed with orange to be such a standout.
After seeing the price, Qi Xue did not hesitate like others and directly ordered a serving of crab stuffed orange.
When opening the orange, Qi Xue was amazed.
The reason is simple, the pattern on the edge of this orange shell is so beautiful. The cicada wings are lightly knotted, the pattern is finely selected, and the details are amazing.
Qi Xue couldn't let it go and even forgot to eat the crab stuffed with orange.
Or she felt the temperature in her hand slowly dropping, then she came to her senses, picked up the spoon and reached for the crab stuffed with orange.
As the crab meat entered her mouth, her eyes gradually widened.
Qi Xue had never tasted such delicious crab stuffed with orange before, which made her realize that crab meat and orange meat are such a wonderful combination.
Sour flavors are indispensable on the tables of people all over the world. Our ancestors began to use oranges to season food very early on. Han Yu wrote, "Mix with salt and sour, stir with pepper and orange." Wang Changling wrote, "Black fish in snow, mullet and orange sauce."
Oranges are a natural way to remove fishy smells.
Qi Xue couldn't help but sigh in her heart that this way of eating crabs was really too traditional.
Modern cooking wine used to remove fishy smells is full of people’s wisdom accumulated over thousands of years. It is effective and fast in removing fishy smells, but this does not mean that traditional methods of removing fishy smells are bad.
The orange meat not only perfectly neutralizes the fishy smell of the crab meat, but also brings out the deliciousness of the crab meat.
The crab stuffed orange gave Qi Xue a feeling of elegance. It made her feel as if she was at the lakeside, with the warm lake breeze blowing towards her.
Qi Xue looked up at the guests around her and found that many of them had ordered crab stuffed with orange. They slowly tasted the crab meat with spoons, their eyes narrowed in satisfaction, and their whole bodies were filled with a feeling of happiness.
Logically speaking, something as delicate and elegant as crab stuffed with orange should not belong in a small restaurant, but at this moment, the scene seems extremely harmonious.
After all, Baiji Restaurant has always been magical.
After eating a crab stuffed with orange, Qi Xue opened her phone for the first time in a long time and sent a message to her friends.
"As autumn winds blow, crabs become fat. Recently, this kind of monster with bared fangs and claws has been indispensable on my family's dining table. However, I don't often eat crabs when I go out, for the simple reason that it is troublesome to open the crab. Even with gloves, there is a faint smell on the fingertips. Although the crab stuffed with orange is eaten elegantly without getting your fingers dirty, the taste is not outstanding. Just when I was regretting it, I encountered a surprise in a small shop, which made me realize that crab stuffed with orange can be so delicious."
Qi Xue's circle of friends received many likes within a few minutes after she sent it out. Those who praised her included not only her students but also her friends.
When the rich wives saw Qi Xue posting on WeChat Moments, they were very curious. Whether they wanted to improve their relationship with Qi Xue or were really interested in crab stuffed orange, they all started asking for the address of Bai Ji Restaurant.
As a result, Baiji Restaurant had a large number of wealthy female customers, and the sales of the expensive crab stuffed orange showed a spurt of growth.
In the end, Bai Yinuo had to use the old method of limiting the quantity so that they didn’t buy out all the crab stuffed oranges in the store.
…………………………
A nightclub in the center of Shanghai City, full of bright lights and bustling crowds.
In a high-end box on the second floor, there were seven or eight people sitting scattered around, all of them were wealthy second-generations with good fortunes in the circle.
Today was different from the past. They had a distinguished guest at the party—Qin Fang. Although the Qin family was not as good as the Sheng family, they were still one of the best families in Hai City. The circle of the second-generation rich had its own barriers, and their family was far behind the Qin family.
Because of Qin Fang's arrival, everyone present was a little nervous.
Shao Wen put down his cigarette, looked at the people around him, and asked in confusion: "Why is there one person missing? Where did Wen Yuhang go?"
One person shook his head: "I don't know, he just glanced at his phone, suddenly shouted that the time was up, and then ran out."
Wen Yuhang is too ignorant. What if he makes Qin Fang angry?
Shao Wen had no choice but to turn around and look at Qin Fang, helping Wen Yuhang out: "Brother Qin, Wen Yuhang ran off the first time you came. Don't be angry with him. He is just like this. It's not that he doesn't respect you."
Qin Fang's temper was not as bad as Shao Wen imagined. He said nonchalantly, "It's okay. Let's wait for him for a while. He'd better come back quickly."
However, one minute passed, ten minutes passed, half an hour passed, and Wen Yuhang still didn't come back.
Qin Fang, who was originally calm and composed, looked increasingly worse as time went by.
Seeing that Qin Fang's face was almost as black as the bottom of a pot, Shao Wen was terrified. He took out his cell phone and called Wen Yuhang, turning on the speakerphone.
After the call was connected, Shao Wen immediately shouted, "Wen Yuhang, where have you been? Do you know how long Brother Qin has been waiting for you?"
Wen Yuhang's voice came from the phone: "Oh, I'm shopping. I can't leave here. Sorry, please ask Brother Qin to wait a little longer."
After hearing what Wen Yuhang said, Shao Wen became anxious: "Is there anything more important than meeting Brother Qin? Are you buying gold?"
“I didn’t buy any gold.”
"So what are you buying!?"
“I’m buying food.”
Because it was hands-free, although Wen Yuhang's voice was not loud, everyone present could hear it.
Others: “…”
Qin Fang: “…”
