Chapter 13 The Crab Banquet

After Zhao Shucheng returned home, he was lying on the sofa transformed from the windowsill to drink tea. When he thought about whether the restaurant would be limited to a little less, so that it would be easier, his phone rang. He saw that it was Andy, so he answered the phone and asked, "Andy, you are not in the salon, how can you make a phone call?"
"The salon is over. Lao Tan brought me some hairy crabs. Can you make them?"
She knew that Zhao Shucheng could cook when opening a restaurant, but hairy crabs seemed to be a little different from other dishes. If Zhao Shucheng couldn't cook them, she couldn't keep them like this, right?
"Of course, I'm professional in cooking."
"That's great. I'm worried about what to do. I'll leave it to you." Andy hesitated for a moment and said, "But I want to invite several other girls on the 22nd floor to eat together, you..."
Zhao Shucheng knew what her worries were, but the little conflict between her and Qu Xiaoxiao, and said, "It's okay, I'll go buy something later. You can come up directly when you come back. Everyone have a good meal. As for Xiaoqu and that little problem is nothing."
"Okay, then that's it."
After Zhao Shucheng hung up the phone, cleaned up the tea set and drove out.
To make hairy crabs, you also need to prepare some things, some side dishes, and at least some rice wine. After all, hairy crabs are cold, and rice wine is warm and can eliminate cold.
In addition, you need to prepare some tools for eating crabs. At least crab claws are needed, and there are eight special crabs. Even if they are not so particular when eating, they still need to use these things to take out crab meat for other dishes.
When Zhao Shucheng returned to Ode to Joy with the purchased dishes and tools, Andy had already returned to Ode to Joy. He did not go directly to Zhao Shucheng's house, but instead went home and put down his computer.
It’s so good to see Fan Shengmei and Qu Xiaoxiao coming back from the surveillance camera, and opened the door and said, “Sister Fan, Xiao Qu…”
Following her, she saw what Fan Shengmei was carrying, "What a coincidence. Today I also brought some hairy crabs back, and I want to invite you to eat together!"
Qu Xiaoxiao said weakly: "But I can't do it!"
Fan Shengmei said helplessly: "I don't know much either. I can only make the simplest steamed hairy crabs."
Andy smiled and said, "No, I have already agreed with Zhao Shucheng to make hairy crabs. He runs a restaurant and is professional in this regard. We will just go up and help him later."
Although Qu Xiaoxiao was jealous of Zhao Shucheng's appearance, the two of them had not spoken at all during this period. They said with some concern: "Let's find him to do it, then..."
Seeing Andy's eyes looking at him, Qu Xiaoxiao shut up wisely. It's not that she is afraid of Andy, but Qu Xiaoxiao knows that Andy is a useful connection to her. The copywriting matter has been solved this time, but there are still many things to do in the future project, so it is naturally necessary to act according to the expression of people.
Fan Shengmei didn't say anything. She didn't want to be a hairy crab at first. How could a beautiful woman like herself be an old lady for this group of people? And when she was having lunch at Zhao Shucheng, you could have seen Zhao Shucheng's cooking skills, so you are a little confident about it.
Andy looked at the time and said, "Sister Fan, call Xiao Qiu and Xiao Guan up, let's go up!"
"Okay, you guys go up first!"
Qu Xiaoxiao said, "How about you go up first. I haven't slept this night. Why don't you call me when it's done?"
Fan Shengmei looked at her and said, "I'm afraid that when we really make hairy crabs, we won't wake you up no matter how we call them. Let's go together. If it doesn't work, you can take a nap in the living room of Zhao Shucheng's house, and no one will say anything about you."
Qu Xiaoxiao's eyes turned, thinking that this idea was quite good, at least she could test what kind of person Zhao Shucheng was.
When the three of them arrived at the doorstep of Zhao Shucheng's house, they rang the doorbell and saw Zhao Shucheng wearing a T-shirt and sweatpants and came to open the door.
"You are here, come in first! Do whatever you want, drink?"
"Just give me water!"
When Qu Xiaoxiao heard Andy say this, she also said, "Handsome guy, I'll lend you a sofa for it, I'm so sleepy."
"Okay, whatever!"
Zhao Shucheng said as he saw the hairy crabs in Andy's hand and said, "Give it to me, you guys do it first."
As he said that, he was about to deal with the hairy crabs. Andy said embarrassedly: "I'll help you!"
"No need, I don't know what to do, depending on your appearance. I'll do it myself. So many?"
Andy smiled and said, "Yes, I brought back a cage myself, but I didn't expect Xiaoqu also brought back some, so that's all. Will there be a little more?"
"That's not. It's a pity if there are so many steaming. Let's do it like this, half steaming, and half I'm watching to make other things."
"Okay, we don't understand anyway, you can do whatever you want."
Andy doesn't know much about this. When she was abroad, she ate crabs mostly cooked or steamed, either with cheese-baked avocado crab meat or crab meat patties. Other methods are rarely eaten.
Of course, it is because they can only eat crab meat patties or seafood soup. They will not appear on the table to have a feast. They also think that peeling crabs with both hands will damage the etiquette of the table. More importantly, there are no chopsticks, so they cannot eat crabs very conveniently. In addition, most of them are crab roe, and they think that crab roe is too toxic, so only those taken out of the crab legs or crab shell can be used to make dishes.
Fan Shengmei brought Guan Juer to Zhao Shucheng's house. The person who opened the door was Andy, and Zhao Shucheng started to deal with crabs in the kitchen.
When the door opened, Fan Shengmei saw the layout of Zhao Shucheng's home. Although the layout of the entire room was actually similar to that of the downstairs, Zhao Shucheng started to block the passage from next to the elevator door. But when he saw the empty room in front of him, he thought that this was the place where the three of them lived, and suddenly felt envy.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Guan Juer didn't think so much and said happily: "Sister Andy, where is Brother Zhao?"
"He, he is dealing with crabs in the kitchen, come in!"
Andy asked curiously: "Where is Xiao Qiu?"
Fan Shengmei said casually: "She is busy dating now. But I heard that she is here to eat hairy crabs, so she is going to the supermarket to buy vegetables with her boyfriend, saying that her boyfriend should not cook too delicious."
The three of them came to the living room while chatting and saw Qu Xiaoxiao sleeping on the sofa.
Guan Juer asked directly: "Why is Xiaoqu asleep here?"
Andy said: "Xiao Qu was busy all night last night. It seemed that she was going to have dinner with her friends at noon. She would be so tired if she didn't bring back the hairy crabs. She could only sleep here for a while and said she would call her when the hairy crabs were ready."
"Oh, that's how it's going, Brother Zhao, will I help you?" Guan Juer saw that Zhao Shucheng was the only one in the kitchen and took the initiative to ask for help.
"No, I'll do it myself, I'll finish it soon."
After hearing this, the others walked over and took a look, and found that Zhao Shucheng had washed the hairy crabs, some of which were even put in the pot and prepared to steam them, while others had been removed and the crab roe crab meat inside had been removed and put aside.
Guan Juer was really shocked by Zhao Shucheng's cooking skills and said, "Brother Zhao, you are so awesome, you are so quick to deal with these!"
"That's what you said, Brother Zhao is now just a cook. What if you don't have any skills? Besides, this thing also requires practice to make perfect. If you do too much, it will be so fast. I'm still slow. Look at the people in the crab shop to deal with it, the speed is so fast."
"You guys came here just in time. The crabs were divided into two parts, and some were steamed. I saw that the hairy crabs were quite large, and one was more than half a pound, so each one was steamed one by one, and then I made the rest into a full crab feast."
"What is a full crab feast?"
Andy asked curiously that she had never had an authentic whole crab feast in Ugly Kingdom, so she was not very clear.
Zhao Shucheng smiled and explained: "The whole crab banquet is a table of dishes made of crabs, so it is also called the whole crab banquet. There are twelve methods for the orthodox whole crab banquet. Because there are still a few hairy crabs today, we cannot do all the whole crab banquets, but some simple ones can still be done. For example, steamed writing, flavor writing, crab roe dumplings, pepper and salt crabs, crab stuffed oranges, etc."
After all the preparations were finished, Zhao Shucheng began his own cooking journey. In addition to a pot of steaming dishes, he saw that Zhao Shucheng was making dumplings very fast, and in the blink of an eye, there were several, but they all doubted whether they were dazzled.
Originally, Fan Shengmei wanted to show off her skills, but after seeing Zhao Shucheng's actions, she could only stand aside and stare.
Andy raised his thumbs up in admiration and said, "Zhao Shucheng, you are right, you are really professional."
Guan Juer and Fan Shengmei also nodded. Although they knew that Zhao Shucheng's cooking was delicious, the cooking speed was so fast that it was very professional.
"Haha, it's not that exaggerated, half level, half level."
Others thought that Zhao Shucheng was talking about average standards, but in fact, what Zhao Shucheng said was that he only showed half of his ability.
"Okay, this is all ready. I'm going to start cooking. There's smoke here. You can go out and talk first and wait for dinner. By the way, Andy, I still have some wine here, so please wake me up!"
"good!"
After Andy agreed, he took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet, and walked out with a cup and decanter.
When Guan Juer saw Zhao Shucheng asking Andy for help, she couldn't help asking: "Brother Zhao, what can I do for you?"
Zhao Shucheng thought for a while and said, "Xiao Guan, please help me take out the rice wine. To be honest, it is best to eat crabs with our rice wine. But I guess you may be a little unaccustomed to it, so you will try the wine you prepared at that time."
"Okay, Brother Zhao!"
Guan Juer was still very willing to help Zhao Shucheng do something, so he walked out with a small jar of rice wine and placed it on the dining table.
After seeing this, Andy asked curiously: "Guan Guan, what is this?"
"This is rice wine. Brother Zhao said it's better to accompany crabs. But some people may not be used to it."
