Chapter 72: Three Ways to Eat a Crab



The king crab that was interrupted stopped moving instantly. He pulled out the boning knife and replaced it with kitchen scissors.

For arthropods like crabs, the best tool to handle them is scissors. Skillfully cut off the crab legs and claws on both sides and put them on the tray.

There are countless small hairs on the crab legs, just like wearing woolen pants. They need to be further processed before being put into the pot, otherwise your mouth will be full of hairs when you eat them.

Next, Xia Yu used a boning knife to insert it directly into the back of the king crab.

"Click~~"

With a forceful pry, he removed the huge carapace with the sound of the flesh and shell separating, revealing the crab roe inside.

Sure enough, whether it is salt water or fresh water, it is better to eat female crabs.

After carefully picking out the precious crab roe, Xia Yu used scissors to cut off all the gray crab gills.

"Xiaoyu, do you need mom's help?"

Hearing the noise coming from the kitchen, Lin Shuqin also came over.

"Okay, Mom, please help me make some hand-rolled noodles in the living room!"

Xia Yu thought about it and said.

Although there is a noodle shop at the entrance of the community, the noodles pressed out by the machine are just like wonton skins and dumpling skins, without any soul.

In the past, in the videos of mechanical sculptures and mechanical production of delicious food in the B war, there were always soul monsters, and he was one of them.

It’s just that other soul monsters might just post comments, but Xia Yu is a real deal. He makes all the noodles he eats at home.

Although it is troublesome, it injects soul into the food and makes it more delicious when you eat it!

"Okay, I'll go roll the noodles right away!"

After sending his mother away, Xia Yu continued to process the crabs. This time he used a Chinese kitchen knife to chop the crab body into pieces.

If someone is a serious food broadcaster, they will definitely not do it like him. They basically steam the food. After all, if the food is chopped into small pieces, it will not have as great visual impact as the whole piece.

Xia Yu didn't have this concern. How could the visual impact compare to the comfort of eating it himself? Small pieces were more flavorful and more authentic.

Next is to process the crab legs. Turning on the faucet, Xia Yu began to brush the fluff on the crab legs with a toothbrush until he reached the largest crab claws.

Eating one crab claw this big will make you almost 50% full!

Weighing the huge crab claws in his hand, Xia Yu couldn't help but think in his mind.

Well, one dish for each, that’s the happy decision.

The cooking methods of Typhoon Shelter Fried Crab and Cheese Baked Crab are similar in that they both require frying, but one is fried in garlic oil while the other is coated with cornstarch and fried, so the steps are slightly different.

Xia Yu had never eaten king crab before, but he often ate swimming crabs and blue crabs when seafood was on the market in large quantities every year. Both of these methods have been tested in actual combat and would not be any worse today.

Xia Yu was busy in the kitchen, while Lin Shuqin and Old Xia were rolling noodles in the living room. However, although Old Xia wanted to help, he kept hindering them. The dough in his hand was not rolled into noodles, but into fried dough sticks instead.

"Okay, stop making trouble for me here and go back and wait for your meal!"

Lin Shuqin, who couldn't bear to watch any longer, snatched the rolling pin from Lao Xia's hand.

"Didn't I want to help you?"

"The more you help, the more trouble you cause. You only know how to eat, and I only know how to cook. Unlike our Xia Yu, who can eat and cook, I wonder who will marry him in the future. That's a truly blessed life."

Lin Shuqin said sourly.

Being a mother is so conflicted. I want my son to get married and have grandchildren soon, but I'm also afraid that he will forget me after he gets married. After all the hesitation, I can only take things one step at a time.

"Why don't we enjoy the good life together?"

Old Xia was quite open-minded. Once he put on the small Rolex watch, he became more talkative without realizing it.

"What kind of blessing is this? Young people don't want to live with their parents these days."

Lin Shuqin retorted.

Since we don’t live together, I naturally can’t eat the food my son cooks.

"Here's what I'm thinking: when I retire from my job in two years, I'll go to Xiaoyu's farm and become a farmer!"

Lao Xia expressed his thoughts.

He is a person who likes to grow flowers and plants. The balcony of his home is filled with flower pots. In addition to plants such as orchids and aloe vera, he also grows coriander and peppers.

"That's a good idea. I'll go and help you cook!"

Lin Shuqin agreed as soon as she heard it. Xia Yu must stay in Shanghai. If they go to the farm together, they will be closer to their son. However, as Old Xia said, there is no need to rush this matter. They have to wait until retirement.

Both of them have been working for a long time, so it would not be cost-effective if they don't work until retirement to receive a pension.

This is what they think, and it is also the thinking of most middle-aged people in China. Even if they win five million in the lottery, it will not affect their retirement pay!

If it were the Xia Yu of the past, he would have scoffed at such an idea, but now, as long as his parents are happy, happiness is more important than anything else, even if the combined pensions of the two of them are not enough for his half-day sign-in salary.

"Mom, my dish is almost done. Is the noodles ready?"

Xia Yu opened the kitchen door and stuck his head out to ask.

At this moment, the strong smell of garlic wafted out from the crack of the door, causing Old Xia, who was closest to him, to sniff.

"Okay, this is enough for the three of us. I even added a duck egg!"

Lin Shuqin raised the light yellow noodles in her hand, which looked very beautiful under the setting sun.

"These noodles look delicious. I'll take them and cook them first."

Xia Yu came out, got the noodles and returned to the kitchen, closing the door again to isolate the aroma.

Pasta can easily become lumpy, so if you want to prevent it from becoming lumpy, you have to rinse it with cold water.

Xia Yu put the noodles into the pot of boiling water, and then worked left and right, so busy that he couldn't even keep his feet on the ground.

All of this was faithfully recorded by the camera, and the effect presented seemed like a show of skill, but Xia Yu had no time to care about these things because the three dishes were almost ready!

Looking at the steaming dishes in the pot, Xia Yu had already thought of what BGM to use.

Little Chef, there is no more suitable background music than Little Chef for this situation.

As for the thing that was missing, Xia Yu was ready to pay for it. He wanted to add some special touches to this meal.

"Duang~~"

No, it should be special effects.

Whether it is the king crab worth 6,500 or his craftsmanship, it is worth the money.

This is what Xia Yu thought in his mind. While he was planning who to find, he also finished packing the dishes.

The next second, the camera switched and instantly came to the dining table in the living room.

"Gudu x 2"

The sound of the couple swallowing their saliva was accurately captured by the microphone, but Xia Yu, who was filming from various angles, didn't care.

This part will definitely need to be re-dubbed later. It doesn't matter if everyone is chatting now, but the three of them only have eyes for the three dishes on the table and noses filled with the strong aroma of crab, so they don't have time to talk.

The silence at this moment is the best interpretation of delicious food. After Xia Yu finished taking pictures, he fixed the camera on the corner of the dining table.

The following tasting session is where we really get to the point!
