"This is king crab, their signature dish. I thought it tasted just okay, not as good as my godmother's spicy crayfish."
“Such a high-class restaurant, even their simplest cooking tastes better than mine. You’re exaggerating.”
"You'll know once you try it, godfather, godmother, you should eat quickly, you haven't eaten well on the journey."
Lin Lin wailed, "That's right! Taking the train is so uncomfortable. There's not even a place to sleep. I never want to take the train again."
“When I suggested that I find a car to pick you up, your sister refused, saying that she preferred to travel by train. She said that when you went back, I would drive you back.”
"That's great! Thanks, Brother Xiao. I'll have to try this crab you mentioned and see if it's any good."
"It's a king crab."
"Who cares what kind of crab it is? As long as it tastes good, it's a good crab."
The waiter helped them divide the crabs into portions, and Lin Lin couldn't wait to pick up a crab leg and put it in her mouth.
King crabs have very long legs, and they are full of crab meat. They taste great, with tender and delicious meat that is very firm. In short, they are very enjoyable to eat.
King crabs, also known as stone crabs or rock crabs, are crustaceans belonging to the family Lithodidae. They are not true crabs and are mainly distributed in cold sea areas. They are named for their enormous size and are known as the "King of Crabs".
What makes this large deep-sea crab so famous is not its terrifying and ferocious appearance, but its tender and delicious meat. Its long, spiky legs are full of crab meat. With a snip of scissors, you can easily pull out a whole leg of crab meat. Its taste can probably be described in three words: "fresh", "sweet" and "tender".
With its unusual appearance and delicious taste, the king crab is loved by many, and it is usually only found in high-end restaurants, where it is quite expensive.
King crab legs are rich in protein, trace elements and other nutrients, which have a good nourishing effect on the body. Eating crab can help with the recovery of tuberculosis.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes it has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, nourishing bones and marrow, strengthening tendons and promoting blood circulation, clearing meridians, benefiting limbs and joints, healing injuries, nourishing liver yin, and replenishing stomach fluids. It has certain dietary therapeutic effects on diseases such as blood stasis, injuries, jaundice, lower back and leg pain, and rheumatoid arthritis.
This crab is extremely difficult to preserve. Therefore, if you want to eat relatively fresh king crab, in addition to eating it alive, you must ensure that it is king crab that has been refrigerated at ultra-low temperatures. Only king crab stored in an ultra-low temperature environment can guarantee its taste and quality, and only then can you truly enjoy the deliciousness of king crab.
Lin Lin ate one bite after another, too busy eating to even speak.
Lin Xiao carefully picked out the meat from the crab legs and dipped it in a sauce made of minced garlic, sesame oil, chili oil, crushed peanuts, and cilantro. This way, the freshness of the king crab could be brought out.
"Xiaoxi, try this."
"Brother Lin Xiao, don't worry about me, just eat your food."
Lin Xi took a bite of the crab leg and found it to be delicious. Moreover, the crabs at this time were not yet contaminated, and they tasted even fresher and more delicious than those prepared by modern chefs.
Seeing that Xiaoxi was satisfied with the food, Lin Xiao finally smiled. He knew that Xiaoxi would like it, so he had made a reservation well in advance. This kind of food is very rare and can't be eaten just because you want to. His father had suggested that he use it to entertain guests, but he refused. He was just waiting for Linxi to come and eat it.
After the meal, Lin Xiao led them to their accommodation, which he had already cleaned. It was spotless, and all the daily necessities had been bought, just waiting for them to check in.
"Brother Lin Xiao, you're such a thoughtful guy. We have everything here, so we don't need to buy anything."
Jiang's mother also praised him, saying, "Lin Xiao is still the same as when he was a child, so reassuring. I wonder what kind of girl will be good enough for you in the future."
"Godmother, what you're saying is too far-fetched," she glanced at Lin Xi and quickly changed the subject, "I've already had the sheets and duvet covers changed, do you like them?"
Jiang's mother reached out and touched the fabric on the bed: "Oh, this fabric feels so soft. It must have cost a lot of money. I'll give you the money later. I can't let you spend too much."
“Godmother, aren’t you contradicting me by saying that? As long as you’re happy, that’s fine. You must be tired from the journey. You should rest for a while. Our house is right next door. When you wake up, just give me a call or call me, and I’ll go with you to buy some more things.”
"You child, just do what you're supposed to do. We'll just take a look around on our own when the time comes."
Lin Xiao shook his head and said, "How can that be? You're unfamiliar with this place. I'll show you around first, and then you can go out and explore on your own."
"Thank you for your help."
"You guys rest, Xiaoxi, wake me up when you wake up."
Lin Xi gave an "OK" sign, which they were used to doing, and only then did Lin Xiao feel relieved enough to leave and go home.
Although he wanted to talk to Xiaoxi more, he noticed the dark circles under her eyes and knew she hadn't rested well on the way. Anyway, they were already here, and there would be plenty of time to talk in the future, so he didn't care about this little bit more.
Since Lin Xi arrived, Lin Xiao felt that time had flown by. It felt like the day hadn't even passed yet, and it was already time to go home in the evening.
Lin Hai couldn't see his son at home every day and muttered, "What's the use of raising a son?" Ever since the family next door came, he hadn't seen Lin Xiao during the day. It was like he was living at Lin Xi's house all the time. If it weren't for the fact that they lived so close to their house, the kid would definitely stay there and never leave.
Jiang Mei, while wearing a face mask, still couldn't resist putting on a bad eye for Lin Hai: "Lin Xiao, that kid, he wasn't close to us to begin with, and after that family came, he's even less close. Look at him, he rarely comes home anymore."
"Alright, Xiao Xiao grew up in their family since he was little. Without them, there would be no Xiao Xiao. We should be grateful to them and it's normal for us to be close to them, after all, they've been playing together since they were little."
Jiang Mei said unhappily, "That's what they say, but Lin Xiao is not young anymore. What kind of behavior is it for him to follow their daughter around every day?"
"He's only eighteen, still young, what does he know?"
“How could I not understand? When you had Lin Xiao, you were about his age, right? Speaking of which, honey, can I tell you something?”
Lin Hai looked at her with suspicion, gesturing for her to speak.
