The Xu family has two pure copper hot pots, which they only eat twice a year anyway.
This thing is simpler than cooking. You just need to make a soup base, wash some vegetables, and cut some meat.
When the soup in the pot is boiling, put the vegetables and meat in and rinse them. You can eat them when they are cooked.
This year's pot is different from previous years. The bottom of the pot is made from seafood, which makes it more delicious.
Cut the frozen crabs into pieces, throw them into the pot and rinse them to make the soup base more delicious.
When the crabs are cooked, whoever wants to eat them can also chop them and eat the meat.
The children had never eaten crab before, so they thought it was quite novel and had to try it.
"Well, it's OK to eat crabs, but you can't eat too much.
It's not that Uncle San is reluctant to give it to you. This food has been frozen and not as fresh as alive. I'm afraid you'll get upset if you eat too much.
Just eat half of it per person and taste it."
In fact, there wasn't much in that lump. There was no air freezing technology these days, so it was still frozen. The lump looked quite big, and a lot of it was filled with ice.
The most important thing is to worry that the children will feel uncomfortable after eating it. It is not worth it to eat crabs during the Chinese New Year and get stomach upset.
The children were obedient. When the crabs were cooked, each of them fished out half of the crabs.
Under Xu Shiyan's guidance, he learned to peel off the shells and find meat to eat.
The frozen crab will not be so full of meat and will be empty.
There was not much meat in one crab, so the children worked hard to get the meat out, and they all said it was good after they ate it.
"Across my hometown, when I was a kid, there were crabs in the river, but they weren't as big.
Sometimes we catch fish and try to catch crickets in the lake, but we end up catching crabs.
Eating it is just that, it doesn't feel as fresh as the crickets.
It takes more effort to eat than a cricket, and it's not that big, so no one liked it when we were kids."
Xu Chenghou looked at the crab. It was different from the ones he had seen when he was a child. This was probably the difference between sea crabs and river crabs.
The old man is not very interested in these hard-shelled animals. If he has the time, he might as well eat some sauerkraut.
The seafood soup base is boiled with sauerkraut, which tastes particularly fresh. It is also delicious when dipped in sesame sauce, chive flower sauce, red fermented bean curd and other ingredients.
"Brother Chu, please eat more. We are all members of our own family, so there is no need for me to greet you. You can do it yourself." Xu Chenghou greeted Chu Xuanhuai to eat.
Chu Xuanhuai has been coming to the Xu family for several years.
Every time when Xu's family reunited on the second day of the lunar new year, and he didn't want to come over, Xu Chenghou and Xu Shiyan would ask Xu Haiyuan and Xu Haiqing to go over and invite him.
Now that he is used to it, Chu Xuanhuai is not so pretentious. He eats when he should and drinks when he should. This is the home of his disciples and disciples.
"Well, well, if you eat it like this, it tastes better than what we usually stew in a big iron pot."
Chu Xuanhuai nodded while eating. The pickled cabbage hot pot is very good and tastes good.
Even the older people recognize it, let alone the little ones.
Xu Haiyuan and the others each had a bottle of drink.
Anyway, during the Chinese New Year, adults don’t care about the children. They can drink whatever they like, whether it’s spicy or not.
The children had two bites of vegetables and a sip of sweet water.
Especially the taste of carbonated drinks fascinates the children even more, and they all say they taste delicious.
There were many people, so a round table was placed on the kang. Everyone sat around the table, eating and drinking, which was particularly comfortable...
While I was eating, I suddenly heard dogs barking outside.
Xu Shiyan was stunned for a moment. The dogs never barked when people came to the house during the Chinese New Year.
What's going on? Who's coming and startling the dogs?
"Dad, you guys eat slowly, I'll go out and take a look." Xu Shiyan put down his kuaizi and came out of the house.
Outside the Xu family's gate, two men wearing woolen coats and leather shoes were hesitating whether to walk into the courtyard.
"Is this the place?" The older one looked into the courtyard and asked.
"The address given by Chi Hao is here, it should be right.
.”
The younger one held a piece of paper in his hand and looked at it carefully, feeling that he was on the right track.
The dog, who had been lazy and uncommunicative for the past few days, seemed to be going crazy at the moment.
I wanted to break the chain and scream towards the gate.
The two people outside the door were so frightened that they did not dare to walk into the courtyard.
Xu Shiyan came out just at this time. When he saw the two people outside, Xu Shiyan was stunned for a moment. Who is this? Why don't they recognize them?
"Excuse me, who are you looking for?"
"Oh, we are from the provincial capital. I would like to ask, is this the Xu family?
Is there an old gentleman named Chu who lives here?"
When the two saw someone coming out, they breathed a sigh of relief and asked hurriedly.
"You are here to see my master. Why, are you looking for him to see a doctor?"
When Xu Shiyan heard this, he realized that he was looking for Mr. Chu.
But these two people don’t understand the rules too much, right? How can anyone in the second grade of junior high school seek medical treatment? What an urgent disease it is? It has to come at this time?
"You are Xu Shiyan, right? Our surname is Chu, and we are here to see my dad."
As soon as the other party heard Xu Shiyan's words, his attitude immediately changed, and his tone seemed to have a different flavor.
Xu Shiyan was stunned. His surname was Chu? Mr. Chu’s son?
Hey, it's not easy. After all these years, I finally see someone alive.
"Oh, it turns out it's the two of the Chu family. Mr. Chu is here, come in."
No matter who they are, or why they are here, they are welcome guests during the Chinese New Year, and there is no reason to turn them away.
Xu Shiyan nodded politely and let the two of them into the courtyard.
"Xiao Huang, Er Hei, please stop calling and go into the nest."
The four dogs were still barking, and Xu Shiyan could only lower his face and train the dogs to go back to their dens.
Not to mention, the dogs all gave Xu Shiyan some face, chirped, and went back to their dens.
But it's different from lying down in the nest and fooling around in the past. This time, although they are all in the nest, they are lying down.
And that posture looked like he would rush out and pounce on him at any time.
Gouzi may have felt that these two people did not look like locals and did not know whether they were good or bad people, so he was always vigilant.
