Chapter 50 Pickled and Cooked

Chapter 50 Raw, Pickled and Cooked

After finally making it to the end of school, the three of them dragged their hungry bodies out of the school gate.

The hell mode started on the first day of senior year. If the three of them hadn't had to catch the last boat home, I don't know how late they would have learned in self-study that night.

Even the food stall at the school gate was closed for business. Huang Nuan ran over happily and then wandered back, like a defeated little rooster.

Chen Xinyi pointed at her: "She can't do anything but eats first. Look at her, she can't walk without food."

Huang Nuan pouted: "I'm really hungry..." Before she could finish her words, her stomach started singing the empty city plan.

Chen Xinyi: "Didn't you finish the rice in A-Jian's box at noon?" It was enough for two people.

"When I use my brain, I use up my brain very quickly. There are so many test papers in the afternoon, one after another, and my brain cells are almost dead..." It's painful! It's painful! A Jian is determined not to copy the answers for her.

, she racked her brains all by herself, and even the eraser was almost gone.

The two of them walked in front, saying nothing to each other. Yu Jian fumbled in her schoolbag for a long time and took out a few things.

"Here, put your belly first." She opened the palm of her hand and found a few caramels. Yu Yuan loved candy, but she thought the ones bought outside had too much pigment, so she made a jar of caramels for him.

Malt sugar can nourish the spleen and lungs, relieve pain and relieve coughs. Yu Jian added some licorice juice to it. Although it tastes sweet, it is not greasy at all.

Huang Nuan quickly picked up one, peeled off the wrapping paper, and put it in her mouth. The unique sweetness of malt penetrated her whole body, soothing her dizziness caused by not eating for a long time.

She held Yu Jian's hand with her backhand, transferred all the candy into her hand without leaving a trace, and sighed: "Jian, you are my savior!"

She pulled her hand back and was about to stuff it into her pocket. Unexpectedly, Chen Xinyi moved faster. She grabbed her wrist with one hand and spread her fingers with the other. She watched helplessly as the candy she was about to get disappeared!

"Do you think I'm blind?" Chen Xinyi threw the candy into her mouth and turned to ask her.

The two people started walking together again, fighting and joking along the way.

Yu Jian followed them silently, crushing the candy paper in her hand into round pieces the size of soybeans, and playing with them on her fingertips.

"Hello--"

A crisp female voice sounded from the side, and Yu Jian looked over. On the other side of the small road, a short-haired girl wearing the same school uniform as them whistled at her. She was followed by two younger boys.

One person looked at her rebelliously, and the other person kept pulling on the girl's sleeves, meeting her gaze and showing four teeth shyly.

Yu Jian didn't pay attention and continued walking forward.

At this time, the short-haired girl probably felt that her authority had been wiped out, and she jumped in front of her with a few big steps. The distance was so close that Yu Jian couldn't help but take two small steps back.

"Are you Yu Jian?" the girl asked, taking a step towards her.

Yu Jian took a step back, looking a little confused at her. Who is this?

"I heard that you are good at cooking?" the girl asked again, taking another step towards her.

What does it have to do with you? Yu Jian followed closely and took a step back.

"Shall we try to compete?" the girl asked the third time, still not stopping.

This time, Yu Jian managed to gain a firm footing. There was a palm tree behind her and there was no way to retreat.

Sighing, Yu Jian felt that this girl's emotional intelligence was worrying. She blocked people inexplicably and asked them to compete in cooking skills for no reason.

Looking at it this way, IQ is also a bit worrying.

At this moment, the two "bodyguards" finally realized that the person behind them had not made any movement for a long time. They turned around and saw Yu Jian being forced in front of a tree. They were about to be...

How could this be tolerated? Huang Nuan shouted: "Let that girl go!"

What idol drama is this line from? Chen Xinyi looked at her figure shooting out like an arrow, and pondered for several seconds...



"So, you are going to compete with A Jian in terms of cooking skills?" The expression on Huang Nuan's face said: What are you kidding?!

Jin Yan, the short-haired girl, leaned lazily against the tree trunk and raised her chin carelessly: "My brother has eaten the flower-filled glutinous rice cakes she made and praised it very highly."

The shy little boy on the side nodded desperately, then lowered his head when he met the gazes of the three people.

Yu Jian looked at the people in front of her silently. Jin Yan was a sophomore in high school, and the two boys were probably still in junior high school.

They are all a bunch of brats. She turned around and greeted the two of them: "Let's go. If we wait any longer, we may miss the ferry."

"Are you scared?" Jin Yan shouted from behind.

Yu Jian paused, without stopping, and only said slowly: "I don't have that free time."

The implication is, just go and stay where you are, and don't bother her!



At the end of August, the autumn wind begins.

In September, after several rounds of rainfall, the temperature dropped sharply, and the crabs became plump.

On the weekend, Yu Jian woke up after a short nap and saw Grandma Yu coming back carrying a small basket. She smiled and said, "Your uncle and his fishing boat just came back. They said they would give you a taste of the freshly caught Amla crabs."

Yu Jian took the basket and looked inside. One crab larvae was lying restlessly inside, waving its pliers to show off its power from time to time.

In the eyes of Lingnan diners, Amazing crabs are far more delicious than hairy crabs, and female crabs are better than male crabs.

Yu Jian just took a look and found that among the ten baby crabs, 70% were female crabs.

The weather is getting cold quickly, and my grandma is old. Eating too much cold food can easily cause diarrhea. In addition to steaming the crabs, you can also make a cooked drunken crab dish.

Brush the crabs clean and cover them with ice first to let them cool down. Fresh crabs will crawl when heated during the steaming process, and are most likely to lose their hands and feet. The role of ice is reflected in this, which can ensure that they do not die.

It also keeps them from moving.

When the water boils, put the crab roe in the steamer. Yu Jian starts to make the sauce. Dice the celery and coriander, smash the garlic, shred the ginger, mix it with the spices, add a small piece of rock sugar, add three slices of lemon and two ebony plums.

Add soy sauce, Huadiao wine and some fish sauce, bring to a boil and let cool.

Dip the steamed crab roe in the sauce and refrigerate for a day and night.

For dinner on the second day, in addition to the usual dishes, there was also a dish of raw pickled crab. As soon as I got closer, I smelled the ecstasy aroma of wine.

When Grandma Yu was young, she loved to eat this drunken crab dish. The wine was so fragrant that she couldn't help but grab a piece.

The crab roe is cut in half. Inside the bright red crab shell is tender, sweet and smooth white crab meat, wrapped in plump and moist crab paste, with a hint of Huadiao wine.

Grandma Yu felt the rich taste, and her eyes gradually became moist.

She loves to eat crabs, but she always suffers from diarrhea after eating them. During the crab-eating season, the old man will always find ways to make crab roe for her in different ways.

Looking at the drunken crab in front of me, it was like going back to the past. The old man came out of the kitchen filled with smoke and a spatula, and asked with a smile on his face: "Is it delicious?"
