Marquis Wu and Prince Jing both discussed the banquet. The two old men changed their momentum when they met, and even shook hands and made peace.
"That's great. I didn't expect us to do business together."
"Yes, thanks to girl qiao'er, if it weren't for her, we would have to fight when we met." Marquis Wu said with a smile.
Prince Jing smiled and nodded and said, "yes, this time it's called a hundred claw feast. I heard Xiaoyu say that it has a lot of claws."
Hearing what he said, Mrs. Wu immediately covered her chest and said with some worry, "Oh, it's so scary. What has so many claws? Isn't it like a centipede?"
Tian Yuqiao shook his head and said, "no, there are only eight claws. Don't worry, it tastes delicious, and the meat is soft and delicious. It melts in the mouth and tastes delicious."
"I'm looking forward to hearing what you said. Hey, if only my mother had given birth to me a few days earlier." the old lady laughed and joked.
"OK, let's make a decision first. If everyone likes the crab, we'll study later." Prince Jing said, so he got up and left with Gongsun Yu.
For the first time, marquis Wu was enthusiastic and personally sent the father and son out. Mrs. Wu Hou smiled and said to Tian Yuqiao, "Hey, Joe, they both have the same situation these days. Now, after this, they have turned their heart knot."
"I don't think so. Just bring more watermelons. By the way, you have to tell me in advance. You can't eat crabs and many things at the same time. Especially fruits, so you can't serve fruit plates on the banquet day." Tian Yuqiao said solemnly.
"Well, Huancui, have you written it down?" the old lady asked back.
"I wrote down your words."
Calculating the days, Tian Yuqiao thought that the river crab should arrive in about five days. It turns out that the official's family wants to transport something, and the speed is really not generally fast. At noon on the third day, the coal covered with tarpaulin and the river crabs were all transported to the imperial city.
Except Wuhou, others are not very interested in coal. Instead, it was the crab that immediately attracted the curiosity of most people.
Even Gongsun Yu's two sisters, Huanhuan and Xiaoxiao, specially ran over. Several children began to tease crabs with branches in the yard.
"Oh, you guys should be careful," Prince Jing said happily, as if this was their home.
"Dad, don't worry, we won't be caught by crabs." Gongsun Yu turned his head and said with a smile.
"Smelly boy, dad is worried that you hurt the crab. We'll expect the crab to get rich then. Don't let your sisters play." Prince Jing said with a straight face.
Tian Yuqiao helped Mrs. Wuhou to look at the crabs. After Mrs. Wuhou approached carefully, she was so frightened that she immediately "ouch".
"Are you all right?" Tian Yuqiao looked worried.
"The claws of this thing are too frightening, like a big spider, frightening me to death." the old lady said and quickly twisted the rosary in her hand.
"How about this? I'll show you my hand this evening. What do you think?"
"Er... You mean you want to make this crab for me?" the old lady said timidly.
Tian Yuqiao said emphatically, "yes, let you taste my craft first. If you think it's delicious, I'll teach the cook and let them do it."
Out of doting on Tian Yuqiao, the old lady was eager to try, so she couldn't bear to refuse. He bit his teeth, nodded and said, "well, Joel made it himself. Even if it's poison, I'll eat more."
"Pu ~ Niang, you always talk funny. Don't scare Joe." Shangguan Qingfeng came together.
He was still carrying a lively crab in his hand. He was so frightened that the old lady and Huancui behind her hurried back two steps.
"Mom, look how old I am. Let's pick out the big one first and let sister Joel make you a taste first."
Facing the filial piety of Shangguan Qingfeng and Tian Yuqiao's desire to try, Mrs. Wuhou can only accept the kindness of the two children with a bitter face.
Huancui knows the old lady. She is obviously afraid and dare not eat! It is reasonable that the young master should be able to see it, but how could he fool around with the girl Qiao this time?
It seemed that she noticed what Huancui was going to say. The old lady pinched her in time. Huancui kept silent.
Marquis Wu and Prince Jing walked around several big wooden pots. Marquis Wu frowned and said, "Yo, you have to keep it with water? Don't die at that time. It's not new."
Tian Yuqiao smiled and said, "don't worry, I'll take care of them myself. I promise they won't run around and die."
"Joe, it's really hard for you." the old lady took Tian Yuqiao's hand and said with some pain.
That night, Tian Yuqiao personally cooked a river crab stewed pumpkin and a dish invented by herself.
Cut the fresh river crab in half with a knife. The river crab that was suddenly separated is still crawling conditionally next to the kitchen board. When the two cooks next to him met, they quickly put the river crab cut by Tian Yuqiao into the basin.
Over there, Tian Yuqiao asked someone to beat two duck eggs, then mix them with chopsticks and mix them with some starch to make a paste.
Then he asked another cook to help with some meat fillings, just like the ones used to make dumplings.
After a long selection, she finally found a pot similar to a pan. After brushing it clean, she added some oil to it.
Then dip the cut side of the river crab in the paste for a few times, and directly put the cut side in the pan. The oil is relatively small, just enough to blow up the sticky place.
Tian Yuqiao just made a demonstration, and the next frying process was completed by the cook.
When the side where the river crab was cut became golden, Tian Yuqiao asked people to cease fire.
Lay the previously reconciled meat stuffing on the bottom of the plate, and then put the half cooked river crab on the plate. The sticky place faces down and fits all the meat filling.
"OK, it's almost time to steam a cup of tea directly in the steamer. You see, all the bodies of the river crab turn red. It's almost enough." Tian Yuqiao clapped his hands and said.
