After cooking, it turns bright orange. When you pinch the leg part of the hairy crab, the meat is very plump and not hollow at all.
There is a lot of crab paste and crab roe in it, which is very satisfying to eat in big mouthfuls. Dip it in a little of the store’s special sauce and it is delicious!
Everyone was immersed in the joy of eating hairy crabs. After eating the hairy crabs, the waiter brought a bowl of blood glutinous rice pudding, the rice in it was as red as blood.
Xiao Su looked at the meal with great pride. He thought Jiang Tuantuan and his group would be very surprised and curious, and ask what it was. However, they were only slightly surprised and had no other reaction.
What's going on? People from other places would be surprised when they see this meal. Xiao Su couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you curious about what this is?"
Rou'er said: "Blood glutinous rice, right!"
Jiang Tuantuan also added: "This rice tastes very good, I still like it very much."
Hua He said, "I've read in a book that this kind of rice is very nourishing to the body."
Mingman said, "I think blood glutinous rice would be delicious when made into a soup."
After hearing what the four people said, Xiao Su was shocked and asked in amazement, "Who are you all? You have actually eaten this kind of rice. Our rice is supplied to the palace every year, and only a few restaurants have some."
The four of them stopped talking and started eating.
Li Jingchen smiled awkwardly and replied, "My family is in business, so I've eaten it before."
Although this explanation was a bit forced, Xiao Su still nodded and believed it. After all, some large caravans could indeed eat this kind of rice, but which caravans were they?
As I was thinking, I realized that the blood glutinous rice pudding was almost gone, so I quickly came to my senses and continued eating.
Let’s talk about identity and other things later. Anyway, he thinks these people in front of him are pretty good. They are good-looking and easy to get along with. That’s enough.
The waiter then brought another dish, called Beggar's Chicken. He explained, "This chicken is made by coating the feathers with yellow mud and firewood. The coated chicken is then roasted over a fire. Once the mud has dried and the chicken is cooked, the mud shell is removed, and the feathers are also removed, revealing the chicken meat that is in front of you."
It was really fragrant, the aroma was overwhelming. I saw that the table was full of dishes and thought that all the dishes were served, but I didn’t expect that there were still several dishes.
Although they were full, it did not stop them from continuing to eat. They took a break and continued to eat beggar's chicken until their stomachs were full. Then they put down their chopsticks. It had been a long time since they had a proper meal, so this meal was really delicious.
After finishing the meal, we came out of the restaurant. The streets were still bustling with lanterns lit up everywhere. However, everyone felt a little tired. They wanted to sleep after eating and also wanted to take a shower and change clothes. So, we went home under the leadership of Xiao Su.
Nothing happened that night. I slept until noon the next day. Pearl and Jade had prepared hot water early. After waking up and washing up, we made an appointment to go out for dinner.
Although I ate a lot last night, I was still hungry after a whole night.
I was too anxious last night, so today I finally have some time to enjoy the scenery here.
White walls and green tiles, with gurgling water flowing under the small bridge, this architectural style also has a unique charm of tranquility and elegance.
There is a sense of elegance everywhere.
Everyone exclaimed, wow, this place is awesome!
Suddenly I smelled the fragrance of glutinous rice with sweet dates in it. I followed the fragrance and saw a stall owner selling takeout bamboo tube rice.
The closer you get, the more fragrant it becomes.
The stall owner shouted loudly: "Come and eat, come and buy, this is the best bamboo rice in Suzhou. If you miss it, you won't be able to find the next one~"
What a confident stall owner! I must try it.
Everyone bought one, and the stall owner asked, "Do you want some candy?"
"Sprinkle more on mine," Rou'er said to the stall owner, "I like sweet food."
After everyone got the bamboo tube rice, they found that there was no place to sit and eat it. Jiang Tuantuan walked directly to the corner, squatted there, broke the bamboo tube open, and started eating, making delicious sounds in his mouth.
After seeing this, Li Jingchen walked over silently, squatted next to her and started eating. Then Hua He no longer cared about her image and squatted on the other side of Jiang Tuantuan. Meng Zifan followed closely behind. Seeing that everyone was squatting, Rouer also walked over and squatted with them.
Finally, Mingman was the only one left. Now everyone was squatting in the corner, but she was standing alone, which made her look different. She didn't care about her image over the years and just squatted down to eat.
Pearl and Jade followed Mingman and squatted beside him.
Thus, a beautiful landscape was formed.
A row of people were squatting neatly in the corner, each holding a bamboo tube of rice in their hands. The most important thing was that they all looked good, which directly attracted passers-by.
The shopkeeper who sold bamboo tube rice couldn't help laughing secretly. Passersby watched this group of people eating bamboo tube rice and ran over to buy one to try.
After buying it, I wanted to take it home to eat, but then I turned my head to look at the people squatting there. After thinking about it, I went over and squatted to eat too, thinking that it might taste better this way.
Then more and more people ran over to join in the fun, bought bamboo tube rice, and squatted in the corner. This scene made Jiang Tuantuan and others feel embarrassed.
I quickly finished eating, stood up and left.
As we walked forward, we saw a small vendor selling a pile of yellow fruits on the street. They looked very rare, so we walked over and surrounded him.
"Stall owner, what is this?" Mingman asked as he picked up a fruit.
The stall owner replied: "This is loquat."
"I see. It's written in the book that loquat fruit is sweet and sour and can be eaten raw, preserved, and used in winemaking. The leaves, after being dried and hair removed, can also be used for medicinal purposes. They have the effects of resolving phlegm and relieving coughs, soothing the stomach, and lowering qi. It's a good thing, but it's rare in the north. I didn't expect to find it here."
Hearing that this thing was so good, everyone bought a big bag and prepared to take it home to eat. The greedy Rouer couldn't wait, so she picked up one, peeled it, took a bite, and was immediately hit by the sour taste. Her face wrinkled, "This loquat is not very delicious."
"You little fool, this needs to be cooked before eating. It's better to make it into soup or preserves."
"All right!"
Jiang Tuantuan suggested, "Let's go buy some new clothes. We didn't bring many clothes when we came here, and we've been wearing the same clothes over and over again for a long time. It's a good opportunity to see what's popular in Jiangnan."
"Okay, okay," all the women echoed.
We walked around the street and went into what looked to be the largest cloth shop to pick out clothes.
Hua He exclaimed, "The clothes here are almost all made of cotton. They feel really good to the touch, and the patterns on them look even more delicate. This plum blossom pattern is so beautiful."
Mingman also praised: "This skirt is embroidered with small bridges and flowing water. The pattern is so unique. Shopkeeper, pack this one for me, and that one and that one. I want them all. Pack them all."
Pearl whispered to Jade: "Our princess is going on a shopping spree!
