Even in the United States, a 10-pound king crab that was just landed yesterday at a low temperature and has low activity would cost as much as 3,000 U.S. dollars. In other words, such a king crab would cost more than 18,000 RMB, almost 20,000 RMB.
Block shape.
The way to eat king crab is very simple, especially for live crabs. Just dismember the shells and lay them out, add shredded ginger and steam them!
Everyone washed their hands and served the table.
Han Peacock is the strongest, so naturally he is the one to break down this king crab.
Although he has not eaten it a few times, Han Peacock is very skilled in handling king crab.
The crab legs are all cut open and the crab shell is covered up and down, like a big hamburger.
"I heard that there are many king crabs like this near your Peacock Island?" Old Han asked, looking at Peacock Han.
"It's quite a lot." Han Peacock said and glanced at Lao Han, wondering what he meant.
"This thing is so expensive, I wonder if the young men in our village can go fishing?" Lao Han said his purpose.
Han Peacock nodded directly and said: "Okay."
"Don't agree so readily. If too many people go, you will catch all the crabs." At this time, Mother Han said.
Han Peacock smiled and said: "It's okay, I can't catch all of these things."
"As long as it's okay, it's okay." As he said this, Old Han smiled. This was the first time that Han Peacock agreed to his request so happily, which made Old Han very happy.
Seeing his family happy, Han Peacock was naturally even happier, and he would never think that king crabs would become extinct.
This thing is not that simple. The survival ability of king crabs is very strong. Their existence will exterminate all surrounding aquatic creatures. Marine fish, other shrimps, crabs, and even sea lilies will never survive in their territory!
Moreover, this thing lays a large number of eggs, tens of thousands, and has no natural enemies, so it is difficult to reduce the number.
In addition, their egg-laying age is only a few years, but they can live for decades. Killing the adult crabs can free up food and allow more young crabs to grow.
The reason why Korean peacocks are least afraid of their extinction is that they can 'run'. Last year, scientists discovered that a group of them had already gone to the Antarctic. The scientists discovered a group of large crabs numbering more than a million!
It would be nice if they didn't destroy other living things. It's hundreds of years too early for humans to want to destroy them.
20 kilograms of live crabs. The meat yield is at least several kilograms. It is scary to serve it on the table. I just used a big steamer to make this.
Xiaoxiao was holding a crab leg that was not much thinner than her arm, and was worried about how to eat it. Han Kongque smiled and handed her eight pieces of crab, focusing on teaching her how to use crab scissors and a crab spoon.
King crab is also one of the ‘three major crabs’ in Japan! This shows how delicious it is!
Anyone who has eaten large crabs will think that shrimps are not very tasty!
After taking a few bites, Xiaoxiao showed the happy expression on his face again, and his fleshy baby cheeks moved. After a long while, he said in a voice that sounded like a lyrical reading: "It's delicious."
"Ha ha!"
Liu Xu and other women ate slowly, trying dipping it in sauce or mustard from time to time, but finally found that eating it directly was the most delicious, authentic and simple.
There were many people in the family, but it was difficult to eat. One king crab weighed more than ten kilograms of meat, and the Korean peacock almost ate 90% of it. However, although the others only ate 10%, it was almost two kilograms. But they couldn't stand it.
There are many of them, so each person only has a few mouthfuls.
"Didn't you say you didn't prepare anything else?" Han Kongque looked at the women who stopped moving their chopsticks.
Liu Xu smiled and said: "There are also sea cucumbers. You can just eat crabs. We will eat sea cucumbers."
"Sea cucumber! So big!" I couldn't help but be shocked when I saw Zhou Meiren bringing something as a gift, a thick black thing as big as two palms and covered with fleshy spines.
"This was sent back by Rongguang. I heard it was imported from abroad!" Old Han said happily.
"Is this a live sea cucumber? No wonder it's so big. This is a good thing." Han Peacock said with a smile.
"What? Are they better alive than dried sea cucumbers?" Zhou Meiren asked curiously.
Han Kongque stood up and took the sea cucumber directly, saying: "Of course, but live sea cucumbers are not easy to transport and preserve, so they are usually made into dried sea cucumbers. Since there are live sea cucumbers, I will cook them for you personally.
A super delicious experience.”
"Is this thing really sent back by that boy Han Rongguang?" Finally, Han Peacock asked Old Han again.
Old Han said proudly: "Not only are you filial, but Rong Guang has also not forgotten us. This is something he brought back from the United States."
"America? They don't like to eat sea cucumbers over there, so it's not surprising to have such a big live sea cucumber." Han Peacock turned and walked into the kitchen.
Sea cucumbers were not fished by fishermen in the United States in the past, but now they are sold to Asians. In Asia, they are considered a supplement, so now European and American countries protect them as a pillar industry.
Half of the sea cucumbers in Canada and Alaska are supplied to China. The United States has a long coastline, and naturally there are many places producing sea cucumbers.
This sea cucumber is very thick, and you can tell at a glance that it is not a slender feed sea cucumber, but a pure wild sea cucumber.
Wild cold sea cucumbers need to be collected by professional divers, and there is a certain probability of catching them in bottom-drag fishing nets, so Han Peacock did not doubt where Han Rongguang came from.
The body of this sea cucumber is very full, indicating that it has not "spit out" its internal organs.
This is a way for sea cucumbers to protect themselves when they encounter natural enemies. They spit out their internal organs to feed the natural enemies, hoping that the natural enemies will let them go.
The more fishy offal is, the more delicious it is. Generally, as long as you don't encounter greedy ones, you can escape, and it only takes a short time for them to grow a new set of offal.
A few years ago, whether in China, Japan or South Korea, the offal was usually discarded when eating or drying sea cucumbers. However, now, people have discovered that the offal of sea cucumbers is the real treasure.
Of course, very few people now know how to cook sea cucumber offal, and even fewer people have the conditions to do so. After all, sea cucumbers are not easy to catch. If you are not careful, the sea cucumber will spit out the internal organs, so it is impossible to catch the sea cucumber completely.
Easy.
Slowly take out the internal organs and fry over low heat. When fragrant, add water, cooking wine, distiller's grains, refined salt, etc., and simmer slowly. Han Peacock can't find any more ingredients at home, but this is enough.
Naturally, Liu Xu and others would not specifically wait for Han Peacock, so she also used her unique skills.
Under the watch of a group of people, she was making sashimi and shrimp, and her knife skills were absolutely breathtaking.
With such skill, he is naturally the most suitable for cutting sashimi. Of course, peeling shrimp shells is not overqualified.
Liuxu moved very quickly and cut a lot of sashimi and shrimp in just a short time. At this time, Han Mu took out some rice wine.
Whether it was crab or sashimi, both were cold in nature. The women ate a lot more. Mother Han didn't expect it just now, but when they only ate a little, Mother Han suddenly realized.
At this time, it is just right to take out the home-brewed rice wine.
"I read Dream of Red Mansions. Every time people eat crabs, they drink rice wine. It turns out it makes sense." Mother Han smiled and poured wine for everyone, but Qin Mingyue quickly took the bottle.
"Yellow wine warms the stomach and dispels the cold. It goes well with eating crabs. It's a pity that they are no longer available." Qin Mingyue said with a look of regret.
"If you want to eat it, make it tomorrow." Lao Han waved his hand very proudly.
"Okay, we'll do it tomorrow. Now let's drink some rice wine." Qin Mingyue also said with a smile.
At this time, Han Kongque's sea cucumber soup was also finished, and a small bowl was served to everyone.
There is only one sea cucumber, so I don’t have to make a lot of sea cucumber soup, but it is still enough for each family member to have a small bowl.
Under Han Peacock's advice, Mother Han drank a bowl of sea cucumber soup. She felt warm all over after just one gulp.
"This food is so good, no wonder rich people are willing to eat it!" Mother Han exclaimed.
"Is it that exaggerated?" Old Han glanced at his boss. Since there was not much sea cucumber soup, and there were only three daughters-in-law at home, plus several children, Old Han finally did not drink sea cucumber soup, but gave it to
Made some children laugh.
"I'll ask someone to bring more tomorrow. Then we'll have a taste of them all." Han Peacock said with a smile.
"Don't bother, it's too troublesome to send this thing alive." Grandpa Han said.
Han Peacock said with a smile: "No trouble, I'll have someone send it over directly by helicopter. We are considered a rich family now!"
"That's right." Old Han was stunned. Now it's not just Han Kongque who is making money. All three of his sons are making money, and they are making a lot of money. Now their family is definitely a rich family.
"I heard that rich people eat ginseng every day." Mother Han said with a sigh.
"Ginseng is indeed a good thing. Not only in ancient times, but also in modern times, people in traditional Chinese medicine use it to kill themselves. Even modern medicine extracts ginseng ingredients and uses them to make medicine. This proves the benefits of ginseng." Liu Xu is now an absolute TCM doctor.
Master, you naturally understand the functions of ginseng.
The person who loved to eat ginseng most at all times and in all over the world was none other than Qianlong.
Qianlong called himself a perfect old man, and most of the other things were just a boast, but his perfect life span was absolute. He was really a long-lived old man.
Emperor Qianlong got up early every day to review memorials. He even gave birth to 18th and 19th elder brothers when he was seven and eighty years old. With such dedicated work, he still lived to be 89 years old. If there were no other reasons, no one would believe it.
According to later studies, the reason was that he loved to eat ginseng. Historical records record that since he was young, he had eaten 1 penny of ginseng every day, which was more than three grams.
Sometimes I drink ginseng tea, sometimes I stew soup. As I get older, my ability to resist medicine gradually increases.
In the end, my eyes were not blurry and my brain was not confused until death, and I was firmly in control of the entire situation.
Just because of Qianlong, now the really wealthy people have the habit of scientifically taking ginseng to maintain their health. Even many foreigners who do not think ginseng is a medicinal material are now taking American ginseng. (To be continued.)
