Xia Tao drove the car while Fang Xing and Su Shi sat in the back seat chatting.
The vehicle started slowly, but the push-on-back feeling that Su Shi expected did not appear.
Fang Xing explained with a smile that there was a speed limit in Qionshan County and vehicles could not drive too fast.
Chatting and laughing, Fang Xing introduced these modern gadgets to Su Shi in the simplest language possible.
Soon, the ATV stopped in front of a two-story restaurant with a plaque that read "Chuanbang Seafood".
"Master, you are here." Brother Jie stood at the door, wearing a black apron over a white chef's uniform. This was a special treatment only available to those who had won the championship of the Chef King Competition.
"How was the sea pickup yesterday? Did you get any large shipments?"
"We caught a giant grouper weighing fifty kilograms!" Brother Jie smiled brightly. "We also got two red flower crabs as big as washbasins, and five red dragons as thick as arms..."
"Let's use grouper as the main dish today. Let's have a grand grouper feast to welcome the uncle."
The four of them sat down, and Brother Jie went to the kitchen alone to get busy. Seafood tastes best when freshly cooked. Brother Jie had already prepared the ingredients and was waiting for Fang Xing and the others to arrive.
Ding ding dong dong, ding ding dong dong.
Soon, the first dish was served on the table by Brother Jie - spicy red flower crab.
"Big tongs as thick as arms, just right for each person." Fang Xing picked up one and placed it on the plate in front of Su Shi.
The crab shell has been specially treated and can be easily removed, revealing the crystal white crab meat.
I’m so hungry, so hungry, really hungry.
Su Shi took a big bite and his face flushed red. A burning sensation rushed from his abdomen to his forehead and his mouth was about to burst into fire. It was Su Shi's first time tasting chili peppers, and the effect was very obvious.
After a while, the spiciness subsided, and a strange feeling grew in Su Shi's mouth, and he missed the spicy feeling a little.
One bite, two bites, and he quickly finished a big crab leg. Su Shi's eyes were filled with tears: "This is the real crab."
"No way, are there still fake crabs in this day and age?"
Fang Xing was curious. This was the Northern Song Dynasty, where the people were simple and honest.
"That's not the case. I've eaten crabs that taste like mutton."
"Mutton-flavored crab?"
"That happened when I was in Huizhou. Huizhou is a remote and poor place. They only slaughtered one sheep a day in the market. Supply was less than demand, so the price was extremely high. I couldn't afford it at all."
"I'm craving meat. I'll talk to the butcher and ask him to give me the spine from the remaining racks after you sell all the mutton. I can afford it."
"After I bought the lamb spine, I put it in the pot and cooked it like crazy. After it was cooked, I soaked the spine in rice wine. After it was seasoned, I took it out, drained it, sprinkled it with salt, and roasted it lightly over the fire. I didn't want it to burn. Then I used a knife to shave off the meat from the bones bit by bit and eat it."
"Every time I eat this kind of mutton, it takes a lot of effort to get the hard-earned little bit of meat. It feels like eating crab."
