Chapter 488: Eating Crabs
Zhou Guo asked them to come and help tomorrow. The money distributed this time cannot be compared with the last time. The mushrooms collected this time are much more than last time. The amount of money paid by each family is different, and it will be dizzying to reconcile the accounts.
Several people nodded repeatedly, and Zhou Guo paid them their wages as usual, two hundred coins each. The boys took the money, left the yard, and ran away crying.
The old man shook his head. Young men are different. They seem to be tireless. After traveling for such a long time, they are still full of energy.
In the evening, a breeze blew, bringing a cool breeze.
In the yard, the dining table was already filled with food.
Braised beef with soy sauce, stir-fried lamb with green onions, lamb stewed with lotus root, crab, and any vegetables from the vegetable garden were not cooked today. We usually eat too much, so this time we only picked the delicious ones to cook, and even didn’t cook the pork.
The old man didn't know where to start eating when he saw so many delicious foods. He looked at Zhou Guo and said, "Shopkeeper Yang sent you so much meat?"
Zhou Guo nodded, "Yes, he said they were all local specialties from his restaurant."
After waiting for the old man to pick up a piece of beef with chopsticks, she couldn't wait to pick up a big crab.
Zhou Su followed suit and took one.
Then the old man also took one.
There was such a big pot of crabs, and three people each took one, and the others didn't touch their chopsticks.
Pick all the beef and mutton to eat. Stir-fried mutton with green onions is more popular than braised beef in soy sauce. Everyone picks all the mutton to eat. Mutton stewed with lotus root is also good, and braised beef in soy sauce is also delicious.
Li and others didn't understand why the three of them didn't eat so many delicious foods, but instead ate those hard-shelled things with little meat on them.
Zhou Guo tapped the crab shell with a spoon, broke off the cover on the belly and opened the crab shell. Manager Yang gave them female crabs, and they were full of yellow when opened. He couldn't wait to take a bite, and closed his eyes as soon as he put it in his mouth. He couldn't help but exclaimed, it was so delicious!
She ate up the crab roe bit by bit, and then started to eat the meat. Since it was not easy to get this thing, she ate the crab very carefully, picking out every bit of meat. The sweet taste of the crab meat was not much worse than that of the shadowless fish. After eating the body, she ate the crab claws.
Use your calf to squeeze your thigh and the whole piece of meat will come out.
The old man at the side hasn't taken a sip of the wine in his glass since he sat down at the table. He has no time. He loves crabs very much. Every year when it was time to eat crabs, he would buy a few baskets to try. He could eat a whole basket in one meal.
Zhou Su didn't know how to eat it at first, but he imitated Zhou Guo and knocked on it. After opening the crab shell, he looked at the yellow with red and his eyes widened. I won’t say how it tasted, but it looked really good!
He took a small bite, tasted it, and couldn't help but widen his eyes. Then he lowered his head, finished the roe, and started to eat the meat. Adhering to the principle of not wasting such delicious food, he ate everything inside except the shell.
After Zhou Guo finished eating one, he turned around and saw that the little guy had even eaten the gills. He quickly said, "You can't eat this. This is the gills, and all the dirt is in it."
I picked up another one, intending to show him what he could eat and what he couldn't eat.
Seeing this display, everyone at the table couldn't help but look up.
No one paid attention to them when they were eating the first one just now. Their attention was drawn to the stir-fried lamb with green onions, braised beef with soy sauce, and lamb stewed with lotus root. They just thought that what they were eating was the most delicious thing and didn't even think about looking at the crabs.
As soon as Zhou Guo opened the lid and revealed the bright yellow inside, there were exclamations from the table, and many people said in disbelief: "So this is what's inside?"
Zhou Mai said: "This is very different from the little crab."
Everyone nodded, yes.
Zhou Mi pointed at the yellow thing and said, "What is this? Can we eat it? I remember there was this thing in crabs."
Zhou Gu said: "Yes, yes, it is also found in small crabs. I remember this too."
Zhou Guo said: "This is called yellow, it is the most delicious part of the crab."
Pointing to the crabs in the basin, he said, "Take one each, and I'll teach you how to eat it."
A few people found it novel and thought that if the fishy smell was really there, they would just not eat the peeled meat.
Seeing that several people were not eating, Zhou Guo said, "Eat it, why not? Try it quickly, and you will know whether it tastes good or not after you eat it."
The old man found it funny.
Everyone is doubtful.
It was Zhou Mai who took the first bite. After Huang took a bite, his frown slowly relaxed, his eyes lit up, and he nodded at everyone, "Delicious!"
Everyone tried it and it was indeed delicious.
Zhou Gu ate the crab clean in a few bites, then impatiently picked out the meat bit by bit, chewing up the shell and swallowing it down. After eating, he said, "It tastes good, but there is not much meat, it's all shell. For a crab, that little meat is not enough to fill my teeth."
I looked at the crabs in the basin with disdain, "They have grown so big in vain, I'd rather eat my meat, it's all meaty and solid when I take a bite!"
Coincidentally, Li also thought so. "It still has a bit of fishy smell. I still prefer beef and mutton. Who of you can eat my share? I don't want it anyway."
Of the two Li Lai, only Li Wang ate one, and he refused to take the rest.
A crab was also placed in front of Mrs. Xu. Zhou Xing fed her a mouthful of meat, but she almost vomited before it entered her mouth and threw the crab in front of her away.
As soon as it was thrown in front of Zhou Guo, she picked it up, opened the shell and started eating. It was unexpected that there were people who didn’t like to eat crabs!
The old man thought so too, thinking that there were people who didn't like such delicious food. It was fine if they didn't like it. There were only a few of them, and it was just right for them to eat more.
The meal was even longer than the New Year’s Eve dinner.
The main reason was that Zhou Guo and Zhou Suli ate crabs very slowly. They ate four crabs each, and by the end, their tongues were covered with blisters.
After eating four crabs, it was almost as if she had not eaten anything. She brought out bowls and filled them with a large bowl of rice. Zhou Suli also filled a bowl. The dinner for the two of them officially began at this time. The others had already finished eating.
The food on the table had already gone cold, but the two of them still ate it with gusto.
After finishing their meal, Zhou Guo and Zhou Su walked around the yard to help digest the food. They ate up all the food on the table and became full without realizing it.
The old man made tea for everyone. The new tea leaves were very fragrant.
How could Li and her friends drink tea? They just sipped it in small sips, and it was unclear what the point of drinking it was. With that time, she could have washed a basin of clothes.
But it was the old man's intention after all. Besides, making tea takes a lot of effort. Now that it's ready, let's drink it. In fact, they couldn't tell any difference at all. A cup of tea could be finished in two sips at most.
Although the old man often lamented about wasting things, he still enjoyed making and pouring tea for everyone. He finally understood why some of his young apprentices had to share some of their earnings with him.
At this moment, everyone was sitting in the yard, drinking tea, eating melon seeds and pastries, enjoying this rare quiet and leisurely moment.
Zhou Guo said: "Master, how about we raise some crabs ourselves next year?"
