Chen Rui moved very quickly, and with the help of Han Kongque and others, she only had to control the heat and add seasonings, so that the meal would be cooked faster.
In just one hour, all kinds of seafood are freshly cooked.
Braised hairtail, steamed swimming crab, boiled lobster, plated fish head, in addition to these, there are also some Huakar, Pipa shrimp, squid and so on.
Handling these seafoods was not difficult for Chen Rui, who grew up by the sea. This made the two Sun brothers, who had just arrived in Shanghai, almost swallow their tongues.
Since there were five of them, Han Kongque asked Chen Rui to make five lobsters, so everyone could get one.
Chen Rui smiled when she saw several grown men devouring their food.
"Sister-in-law, what are you laughing at?" Han Rongrong asked.
Chen Rui smiled and said, "Is this lobster so delicious?"
Sun Dalei said: "This thing is worth six to seven hundred each. Of course it is delicious. This is the first time I have eaten such a big lobster."
Hearing Sun Dalei's words, Chen Rui's smile became even sweeter.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. We all know that your old man is a fisherman, so don't laugh at inland bumpkins like us." Chen Qing said with a smile.
Chen Rui laughed enough and then said: "Lobster is really famous. It seems that lobster is an outstanding representative of seafood, and eating lobster seems to be something that can be boasted about. However, if someone brags to me about eating lobster, I
You can’t help but laugh.”
"This thing costs more than 600 per pound! Who can afford to eat this stuff?" Han Guangrong said very puzzled.
Chen Rui continued with a smile: "Before I went to junior high school, we would not eat the lobsters brought in from our village. I still remember clearly that one night, my dad brought several large lobsters, which were all raised on the boat.
They were all alive and kicking, and each one weighed several kilograms. When my mother saw them, she said, "Can we eat lobsters too? Don't eat them. Don't eat them. Throw them away." You guys said I heard someone bragging about where he is.
Can I not laugh after eating lobster?"
Han Kongque was also speechless. He only knew that crayfish were not delicious and did not have much meat, but he had never heard that lobsters weighing several kilograms were actually sold.
Sun Xiaoming asked curiously: "What did you eat at that time? Do you only need fish but not shrimps when fishing? What about crabs? Crabs are also very expensive! Don't you eat them too?"
Chen Rui explained: "At that time, except for swimming crabs, other crabs were called flower crabs. They were generally not eaten. Later, I also ate lobsters, but the taste was really average. It was not as good as bamboo shrimps, and it was not as good as prawns."
Said, not even white shell shrimp or smooth skin shrimp can compare.
I just saw that there are other kinds of shrimps in the foam box, but they are too complicated. Due to time constraints, I didn’t make them. When I have time later, I will make them for you to try and see if they compare.
Serve the lobster.”
"What's the most delicious seafood? That yellow-lipped fish worth six million?" Han Guangrong couldn't help but asked.
Chen Rui said: "Yellow-lip fish is not delicious. All large fish have a bad taste, and yellow-lip fish is no exception. Among seafood, my favorite is crab. I once ate it in one sitting.
After washing the basin, my stomach and intestines felt uncomfortable for several days."
"A washbasin? How many crabs are there?" Chen Qing couldn't help it.
After working in Shanghai for more than seven years, how could he not know the price of swimming crabs? If he ate a basin of crabs at one time, how much would it cost now!
Chen Rui took a bite of the flat fish and then said: "At that time, swimming crabs were everywhere in the East China Sea. They were fat and strong. Fishing boats went out to sea, and there were often a good harvest in baskets and baskets.
You must know that at that time, they were all small fishing boats. There was no refrigeration equipment on board at that time. If they were about to return to the village, the fishing boat would make crab buns from a basket of lively crabs and take them back to the village to share them with family members.
Have you never heard of crab steamed buns? Here’s how to make crab steamed buns: Seed the shells of live crabs, remove the gills and sediment inside, then sprinkle salt directly on the back of the crab, and add some ginger at most.
Then bake it in large pots and pots. When it's cooked, uncover it and look, oh, it smells so fragrant!
The snow-white crab meat has swollen and filled up the shell, just like a steamed bun, cut in half. The meat, ha, is soft, but also has the slightest elasticity. It is indescribably delicious."
Chen Rui's words made everyone drool, and Han Peacock couldn't help but said: "I got a lot of swimming crabs this time, why don't you make crab buns for us when you are free?"
"How much did you catch? If there are too many, why don't I make crab cakes for you." Chen Rui took a crab peeled off by Chen Qing and looked at the crab paste inside.
Han Peacock asked: "Are crab cakes more delicious than crab buns?"
Chen Rui said: "There is no comparison. The crab buns are simple to prepare, but the crab roe cakes are much more troublesome. But if you work slowly and carefully, the crab roe cakes are definitely more delicious."
"Then I want to eat too. Anyway, my eldest brother has a lot of crabs, so let's make more and let us try everything we are making." Han Guangrong also kept swallowing his saliva.
"Okay, as long as there are enough crabs, I will make them for you. I haven't tasted crab roe cakes in many years." Chen Rui said.
Han Kongque looked at Chen Rui and heard something else: "Isn't this crab cake easy to make?"
Chen Rui smiled and said: "As long as you have money, it is easy to make anything. The crab fat in autumn and winter is all with paste. Among them, the best swimming crab paste is red, hard, thick and sticks to the skin in balls.
The paste on the two corners of the crab shell is the essence of the whole crab. The price may be more than double if there is red paste or not.
When there were a lot of crabs in the past, after making crab steamed buns, you couldn't throw away the crab shells. At that time, the fishermen used chopsticks to pick out the red paste in the crab shells and put it into lunch boxes or other containers.
Hundreds of big and fat crabs, their paste can fill a lunch box. Add some salt to the lunch box filled with red paste. After steaming, the thick red paste will be completely solid, and then put it in the sun to dry
Come on, this is the legendary crab cake."
Needless to say, hundreds of big and fat swimming crabs will cost hundreds of kilograms of crabs. Several hundred kilograms of crabs will make a lunch box of crab cakes. How many people can afford these things nowadays?
Han Peacock and others can fully imagine its preciousness and deliciousness.
Seeing everyone looking at her in shock, Chen Rui said with a smile: "Actually, I only ate crab roe cakes a few times when I was a child. I bit off a corner of the hard crab roe cakes, and my mouth was full of delicious flavor!
In fact, it's because it's so fresh. At that time, we used it to make soup. As long as we cut off a small corner and put it into a big pot full of cabbage, the whole pot would be cooked.
It has a strange color and smell.
Just because I'm greedy, I often secretly cut off a piece to satisfy my craving, and the lingering fragrance fills my mouth! From then on, any seafood I eat will probably be tasteless."
"It sounds like a good thing at first sight, but hundreds of kilograms of crabs are worth tens of thousands of yuan just for a few crab roe cakes. This thing is really not something ordinary people can afford," said Chen Qing.
"Sister-in-law, have you never eaten it again?" Han Guangrong said.
Chen Rui smiled and said: "Don't say I ate it. Later, as the number of fish in the fishery decreased, I never saw crab roe cakes again. Later, I went to the Chenghuang Temple to eat the famous crab roe soup dumplings. I searched for a long time, and from the buns
Find a piece of crab roe that's as big as an eye louse. It's just the roe of a river crab. That's it. Many people say it's delicious. Hey! Do you still want me to make peacock?"
"This thing must be eaten once. Although I have dealt with a lot of swimming crabs, the leftover ones are enough for us to eat. Let's make time to cook them once. I can still get hundreds of crabs." Han Peacock did not hesitate.
The way.
He doesn't want to be a miser. The crab cakes sound like a good thing. Han Peacock naturally doesn't want to give up such a good thing. You know that Han Peacock is very delicious, otherwise he wouldn't take the trouble to make MSG from kelp himself.
.
Listening to Chen Rui talking about all kinds of delicious seafood, everyone's appetites were greatly increased, and soon there was only some soup left on the table of seafood.
There is also a bit of disharmony in it. Han Guangrong is different from others. This kid's chopsticks attack everywhere, not only attacking the plate in front of him, but also other places. Even if they are far away from him, he will reach out and pick up the chopsticks.
That's okay, he eats food by turning it over randomly, choosing the parts he likes to eat. If he uses his pair of chopsticks to turn the fish meat around, it will be difficult for others to eat it with their chopsticks.
"Do you understand the rules? This is your own home. If you are embarrassed, you will be blamed on yourself. What if you eat out? You don't know any table manners." Han Peacock saw black lines all over his head, and finally had to give a lesson.
Han Guangrong.
Although this is a trivial matter, it definitely tests a person's tutoring. When eating, you should only eat with the side of the plate facing you, and don't turn it over randomly. This is the minimum rule.
Han Kongque taught Han Guangrong a lesson before he calmed down. After all, no one here would spoil him.
"What do you two brothers plan to do here?" After dinner, except for Chen Rui who went to clean up the dishes, the others sat on the sofa and chatted. Han Kongque asked the two Sun brothers.
Sun Dalei said: "I used to do decoration at home, and my cousin Xiao Ming used to do architectural design in Ganshan. Now it's hard to do the work at home. Why don't we two brothers come to Magic City to see if there are any opportunities?
.”
"Decoration? You two brothers came a little late. Our company's decoration business has been outsourced and has almost been completed. So, if you can wait a few days, we will have another one before the 10th of next month.
A store needs to be renovated, I will leave it to you." Chen Qing said.
The decoration of Hong Lou Restaurant's branches is very simple, and the styles are all decorated according to the current popular styles. The main style is glass.
Use glass wherever glass can be used, so that it looks clean and bright.
This kind of decoration feature can be done by the decoration team, so Chen Qing is not afraid that the two Sun Dalei brothers can't do it.
"This is no problem at all. However, Brother Chen and Brother Han, there are about ten villagers who came out with our brothers this time, leaving them idle is not an option. I heard from Glory that you are doing well in the Magic City. I don't know.
Can you introduce us to some work to do first?" Sun Dalei said a little embarrassed. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
