While the king crabs were still alive and kicking, Xia Yu peeled a lot of walnut kernels, as he wouldn't be able to do such hard work tomorrow.
Xia Yu used to think that the king crab was the largest crab, but later he learned that the largest crab in the world is the Oriental spider crab, commonly known as the killer crab.
However, the largest size does not mean the heaviest weight. The heaviest is the king crab in front of Xia Yu.
Although the one he bought weighed only ten kilograms, the largest king crab on record can grow to thirty-six kilograms and have a carapace width of sixty centimeters, making it a true behemoth!
There are only three people in Xia Yu's family. Even if they get this kind of giant, they can't finish it. A size of about ten pounds is most suitable and can be finished in one meal.
The video of eating king crab last time went viral. I wonder if eating king crab this time can still reach the same level of popularity.
Xia Yu was not sure about this, but he was not worried. After all, he was not an internet celebrity who made a living by popularity. He was just using the excuse of shooting a video to have a good meal.
At noon, Lin Shuqin listened to Xia Yu and without much fuss, she picked out a few vegetables from the ones he brought back and made a table of vegetarian dishes. She also served very little rice, for fear that she would eat too much at noon and would not be able to eat crabs in the evening.
But I have to say, the vegetables Xia Yu brought back are really delicious!
The couple enjoyed the meal, taking turns eating with their chopsticks.
"Look at the quality of this dish. Even if it were sold at the price of pork, people would still be rushing to buy it."
Xia Yu didn't forget to brag while eating.
What he said was not an exaggeration. There are already farms selling pure natural organic vegetables like this online. They are all sold at a very expensive price with a package card that delivers a specified number of vegetables on a monthly or quarterly basis.
Those who buy this kind of card are basically middle class or plan to buy it as a gift. Ordinary people should just go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. It is not cost-effective and the only difference is that the nutrition and taste will be improved.
"Vegetables for the price of pork? No matter how good the taste is, it can't be this much higher!"
Lin Shuqin was a little skeptical. Her background in a small place limited her vision. In her eyes, even vegetables during the Chinese New Year would not be so expensive.
"Oh my god, you don't know how many rich people there are in the Magic City. They can afford food that ordinary people can't afford!"
Xia Yu patiently explained that the older generation's ideas had to be changed slowly, so he was not in a hurry.
"If it can really be sold at such a high price, then our family will make a lot of money again, right?"
"Yes, from now on, Mom, you don't have to rush to the market early every day. I'll pick fresh ones directly from the farm and send them to you by express. I guarantee that there won't be any duplicates."
Xia Yu said proudly.
He doesn't plan to make a lot of money from the farm. He just wants to make sure the income and expenses are balanced and the output is enough to feed him and his parents.
"And don't order milk anymore. We have dairy cows on the farm, as well as chickens, ducks, fish and meat."
After hearing what Xia Yu said, the couple instantly had this picture in their minds: Isn't this the life of a landlord?
No, the landlords don’t have any surplus food either. This is the evil life of the petty bourgeois farmers, the kind that marketing accounts and Western-worshiping public intellectuals promote every day. But they never think that as long as they are rich enough, the things they envy can also be achieved in their own country.
"So I really don't have to go to the market?"
Lin Shuqin put down her chopsticks and rubbed her trouser legs with her hands, as if she was quite uncomfortable.
"Really? No need. Let's use the tailwind. It's very fast!"
Xia Yu affirmed that in the free shipping areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, the three links and one express delivery are actually not slower than SF Express, but we have money.
"Then I'm really liberated!"
Lin Shuqin slumped in the chair, looking relaxed.
In this dual-income family, she has to go to work and do housewife work every day. She is busy from the moment she opens her eyes.
Xia Yu is now happier that he has helped his mother free herself from the chore of buying groceries than giving her a million in cash directly.
"Yes, our family will live a good life in the future!"
With the system, one naturally has to give back to the family. He doesn't seek to become rich immediately, but only to have enough food and clothing. This is Xia Yu's idea, and he is doing so now.
It seems to be working well, and he won’t have to worry about anything when he returns to Shanghai.
After dinner, Xia Yu went to his room to take a nap. Lin Shuqin and Lao Xia were still whispering something in the living room, probably about their bright prospects for the future.
Let them think about it. As long as he is there, even the most unattainable ideas can become reality.
When I woke up from my nap, I saw that it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, just in time to prepare the ingredients for dinner.
It is a bit troublesome to handle ten kilograms of crabs. In addition, he also needs to shoot a video, so it may take longer, so he has to start early.
Last time he steamed the king crab whole, this time the steamer at home could barely hold the king crab, but since he was at home, he wanted to try something new and cook the crab in three ways.
Juewei Typhoon Shelter King Crab, Cheese Baked King Crab and King Crab Roe Noodles.
The three dishes combine Chinese, Western and staple foods, making the best use of the king crab and squeezing out every last bit of its value.
Xia Yu couldn't help drooling when he thought of this. He heard that the meat of emperor crab is better than that of king crab. Now with his cooking skills, he wondered what kind of delicacy it would become.
Xia Yu rubbed his hands and came to the kitchen. Two years ago, just after he finished the college entrance examination, his family renovated the old house, and at his strong request, the budget for the kitchen was increased, so now the kitchen not only looks new, but even a bit luxurious.
If you want to have no worries about three meals a day, a kitchen budget is definitely necessary.
Later, when Xia Yu bought a new house, he had to spend a lot of money on the design and decoration of the kitchen.
After checking the condition of the king crab and confirming that it was not dead, Xia Yu took out the camera from the living room and prepared to start filming.
Start with a panoramic view from far to near, and then let the poor king crab perform its special skills for the last time before dying.
"Crack~~"
Xia Yu used up the last walnut in the house.
Filmed in slow motion at 120 frames per second, the walnuts cracking are so clear, and the power of the giant claws, which are only the size of a turkey leg, is undeniable.
"Everyone, have you seen this? King crab claws are big enough. Never use them to pinch things you shouldn't pinch just for the sake of stimulation."
Xia Yu narrated the video in a serious manner, which is also one of his characteristics.
Next, he explained today's crab-cooking plan to the camera, then picked up a knife and prepared to start.
Unlike most families who only have Chinese kitchen knives, Xia Yu's family also has a set of Western kitchen knives, and the one he took was a boning knife.
In the camera, he turned the knife and inserted it steadily into the king crab's mouth.
Killing food before processing it is humane for a chef, and the same is true for lions and cheetahs on the grassland. Only hyenas are insidiously willing to dig out the food tank and start eating before the prey has even died.
