Chapter 62 Spicy Crab
Fearing that he would cause trouble and incur public wrath, Jian Yan immediately said, "Yes, eating insects is more important."
As she spoke, she gave a flattering smile to Lu Jinxiu who was looking at her.
So cute.
As cute as her psycho-mimicking kitten.
Unfortunately, the kitten didn’t come out.
He stared at Jian Yan until her expression became unnatural. Then Lu Jinxiu walked to a position two or three steps away from her, a non-aggressive yet quite intimate one. He smiled slightly and pointed at the iron cage and said, "Okay, do you want to wash the larvae?"
Jian Yan leaned closer to the iron cage and took a look. The blue crab pups inside were all as big as king crabs, with thick claws and smooth olive-green shells.
It's clean, but still needs a wash.
"Wash it. I'll prepare the ingredients with Uncle Tang and the others first."
"Okay." Lu Jinxiu responded and asked someone to bring a water pipe to wash the larvae.
Jian Yan, on the other hand, took Tang Zhen and the others back to the kitchen to get the ingredients.
There is strength in numbers. Half an hour later, the blue crabs were cleaned and their ingredients were prepared.
The blue crabs are steamed directly in the pot.
Because of its huge size and incredible height, in order to get the blue crab into the pot, Lu Jinxiu and the others once again stepped on the hoverboard and flew into the air and worked together to get the tied blue crab into the pot.
As the blue crabs entered the pot, several soldiers followed suit by stepping on hoverboards and pulling up a huge pot lid with the same patches on it to cover the pot.
Upon seeing this, Jian Yan gave an order and the giant furnace under the pot was turned on. The sudden increase in heat made the soldiers watching around take a few steps back.
It takes some time to steam such a large blue crab, so Jian Yan took advantage of this opportunity to teach Tang Zhen and the others how to handle the small blue crabs.
Put the cleaned blue crabs into a container and add an appropriate amount of white wine to make the crabs drunk, which also removes the fishy smell.
There was a gap between the empire's culture and cuisine, but its wine culture was miraculously preserved.
There is no rice wine, but there are white wine, beer, red wine, fruit wine and other drinks.
The blue crabs that had never been exposed to alcohol became drunken crabs in just a few minutes. Seeing this, Jian Yan quickly caught one, removed the gills, stomach and intestines, removed the crab claws, and cut the whole crab into pieces.
These blue crabs are immature juvenile crabs, so they do not have crab roe or crab paste, but they have a lot of meat.
In short, I am not satisfied.
When the surrounding soldiers saw her expression, their faces became unnatural.
Killing people is not enough, and the same goes for killing insects.
Chop the bug into pieces or something...
This girl brought by their marshal himself is really cruel.
Our ancestors were not lying to them. It turned out that women in this world were creatures that could not be provoked.
Jian Yan had no idea what these people were thinking. Without even looking up, she continued to work on another blue crab while telling Tang Zhen and the others who were watching her every move intently, "The gills, stomach, and intestines are dirty. You can't have them or eat them."
"It needs to be dealt with."
"Yeah." Tang Zhen and the others responded, and one of them, who was itching to get some, picked up a blue crab and started processing it.
They are all chefs, and as long as there is someone to teach them, they can learn pretty quickly.
It took six people a few hours of cooperation to process hundreds of kilograms of crabs.
Now it’s time to actually cook.
Pick up the oil barrel, pour oil into the pot and turn on the fire to heat. When the temperature is almost right, Jianyan pours in the peppercorns and dried chilies. The taste of these two seasoning ingredients is very strong.
Stir-frying at high temperature quickly releases a rich spicy aroma.
In an instant, the whole place was filled with the sounds of sneezing and swallowing.
