Life is a Game

Jiang Feng's family has two sets of eight crabs.

Although Jiang Feng admired the violent dismantling and crab eating method of his aunt in most cases, in a few cases, for example, when he wanted to take crab meat for cooking, eight pieces of crab was a good choice.

Eight pieces of crabs were created by skilled craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the eight pieces of crabs were: hammer, upsetting, pliers, shovel, spoon, fork, scraper, and needle. Now it is called: round waist hammer, small square table, tweezers, and long-handled axe. , Spoon, Fork, Spatula, Needle.

Wu Minqi taught Ji Xia that it is not necessary to use eight whole crabs to fetch crab meat. After all, their purpose of fetching crab meat is to use the meat inside the crab to serve dishes, not to let the crab die beautifully and leave a whole body. If you really use eight pieces of crabs in their entirety, just put the crabs on a small square table, cut off two large claws and eight crab legs one by one with round-head scissors, and gently tap the crab shells with a waist hammer. It takes a long time to split the back shell and navel with a long-handled axe, but it only takes a few seconds to break it by hand.

Sometimes violence should be resolved, and violence must be resolved. .

Under Wu Minqi's leadership, Ji Xia used tweezers, a long-handled fork, a scraper, and the crab in his hand to pick and pick the crab from time to time and beat it, bit by bit, to take out the crab meat and crab roe, and put them into the small bowl in front of him.

When Jiang Feng finished processing the three oranges, the small bowls in front of Wu Minqi and Ji Xia had already filled a lot of crab meat and crab roe.

The reason why Cao Guixiang’s crab-stuffed oranges are grade C is that she over-steamed the oranges because she forgot the time when making them. They are all according to Master Peng's standards. It can be said that as long as Jiang Feng can accurately grasp the timing when steaming, it should not be a problem to make B-grade crab-stuffed oranges.

Jiang Feng went into the kitchen to process the crab meat. The door of the kitchen was open and Wu Minqi and Ji Xia could see what he was doing. Seeing Jiang Feng's skillful movements, Wu Minqi didn't even hesitate when taking out materials. It didn't look like he was doing it for the first time after reading the online tutorial, and felt a little strange afterwards.

"Fengfeng, where did you read the tutorial?" Wu Minqi asked.

"It's just a random tutorial on the Internet. After reading it, I thought this dish was quite interesting, so I asked Mr. Xu." Jiang Feng said, he didn't lie, he really sent a WeChat message to ask Xu Cheng.

In the tutorial, the cooking temperature of crab stuffed oranges is wrong, he always has to ask someone who knows how to eat and eat to roughly estimate what the suitable cooking temperature is.

Jiang Feng scooped up a small spoonful of Xiangxue wine and carefully shook it into the crab meat twice. After shaking in half a spoonful, he felt that the amount was about right, and then added white vinegar in the same way.

This method of adding wine and vinegar is his unique habit. Comrade Wang Xiulian once complained that it looks like a spoon is hot.

As soon as Xu Cheng was mentioned, Wu Minqi's attention was diverted in an instant. Who is the famous pigeon king in the gourmet world, Mr. Xu Cheng, promised to publish an additional Zhiwei magazine, which has not yet been published. Seeing that half of the second half of the year has passed, Xu Cheng only needs two more months to drop this issue of the magazine.

"Did Mr. Xu Cheng say when "Zhiwei" will be published?" Wu Minqi asked.

"He said he was going to combine this issue with the one originally scheduled for December into a special issue, the thicker one," Jiang Feng said.

The implication is: yes, that's right, I'm dove.

Wu Minqi felt nothing in her heart and even felt that it was quite normal.

"However—" Jiang Feng changed the subject and told Wu Minqi good news, "Boss Han told me that Mr. Xu seems to have not decided what to use for the cover of the joint magazine. Besides, Mr. Xu has been busy recently, so he probably doesn't have much time to go. Take care of these things, so..."

"Maybe the original cover will be used?" Wu Minqi couldn't believe it.

You know, the original cover of the magazine that was dropped by pigeons was Taifeng Building.

If the cover of the special issue was Taifeng Tower, it would be like a huge pie falling from the sky, and no one would smash it on Jiang Feng's face.

The cover of "Zhiwei" magazine has never used a restaurant. In the past, it used a retired celebrity chef, or simply used Xu Cheng's personal photo as the cover. Probably think of it as a fashion magazine.

If the special issue in December really uses Taifeng Restaurant as the cover, Taifeng Restaurant will become popular all over the world overnight. Anyone who is in the culinary industry will know the name of Taifeng Restaurant. If it is doubled, it will be doubled, and the foodies from all over the world will rush to Taifeng Tower in an endless stream.

"I don't think it's possible." Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi said in unison.

"But there will probably be a column, and there should be a close-up of photos." Jiang Feng analyzed calmly.

"It's possible." Wu Minqi agreed.

After Ji Xia took out the crab legs in front of him, he looked up at Wu Minqi and then at Jiang Feng. Ji Xia basically didn't understand a word they said just now. What Zhiwei, what joint issue, what cover, what this gentleman and that gentleman, all involved Ji Xia's knowledge blind spot.

Suddenly, Ji Xia smelled wine.

Before, because she was holding a crab in her hand, the surrounding smell was completely covered by the overbearing smell of the crab, but now she suddenly smelled the scent of Xiangxue wine when she looked up.

"Master, what kind of wine did you add?" Ji Xia asked.

"Xiangxue wine." Jiang Feng said, after thinking for a while, Ji Xia explained, "This is a kind of double-brewed wine. It has a strong aroma and the sweetness of rice wine, so it is very suitable for cooking."

"Your master's main reason for making crab-stuffed oranges and wine is to remove the fishy smell of crab meat, just like adding cooking wine to dishes, in most cases it is to remove the fishy smell of fish and meat. And your master is now The Xiangxue wine used can not only remove the fishy smell, but also enhance the fragrance and sweetness. Chinese food pays attention to the color, fragrance and taste. The location is one aspect. It is very important to have a good-looking plate and an attractive fragrance. Because of the smell of wine." Wu Minqi explained with a smile, "You are still practicing basic skills, you can't touch the pot. But you can learn more about other things, such as arranging dishes, your master is famous for arranging dishes It's pretty."

With Wu Minqi explaining to him, Jiang Feng felt that he didn't need to speak up, so he filled the three crab-stuffed oranges one by one and steamed them in a wok.

Jiang Feng reckoned that steaming for 6 minutes would be enough.

A few minutes passed quickly, and Jiang Feng was almost pinching his watch to check the time. When the 6 minutes were up, he immediately turned off the fire and removed the cover, and put the three oranges on the table.

It was the first time Ji Xia ate this kind of fruit dish and he was very curious. Seeing that Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi didn't move, and he was embarrassed to be the first to uncover the orange, he could only watch helplessly.

What Ji Xia didn't know, Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi were waiting for her to do it first.

As we all know, there is a high chance that Jiang Feng will overturn the first time he cooks a new dish.

Ji Xia probably didn't know about this in the entire Taifeng building.

Facing the crab-stuffed oranges in front of him, Jiang Feng actually had no idea. After all, it was his first time making fruit dishes and he was not familiar with the ingredients. He didn't know how long the oranges should be steamed for the right heat.

Of course, the main reason why Jiang Feng didn't know what to do was that the clear characters on the top of the crab stuffed orange reminded him that the car probably overturned this time.

【Crab Stuffed Orange Grade C】

It's obvious that there are B-level dishes but only C-level dishes, isn't it a turnaround?

"Ahem, Xia Xia, don't you want to try it?" Jiang Feng asked.

After the master had spoken, Ji Xia couldn't wait to open the orange and let out a "wow".

In fact, it's not that amazing. Crab meat, crab roe, and orange meat are mixed together and float on the top of the orange juice. The orange was cleaned by Jiang Feng very clean. There is no residual pulp on the skin. Because of the crab roe, the whole orange looks very watery. crystal clear.

But a dish packed in an orange is enough to amaze a 16-year-old girl who has never seen the world much.

Ji Xia picked up the spoon.

Jiang Feng held his breath.

Wu Minqi stared at Ji Xia.

Ji Xia scooped up a spoon full of crab-stuffed oranges, a lot of crab roe, crab meat, orange meat, and orange juice, accompanied by the aroma of wine and vinegar.

Pack it in one bite.

Without chewing, I swallowed it directly.

"Is it delicious?" Jiang Feng asked.

"Delicious!" Ji Xia affirmed.

It didn't look like he pretended to be like this deliberately to comfort Jiang Feng.

"It's sour and a little sweet, it's delicious." Ji Xia said.

Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi also picked up their spoons and began to taste the crab-stuffed oranges in front of them.

Entrance.

Jiang Feng almost couldn't control his facial expression.

Sure enough, 6 minutes is still a bit long.

He felt that the orange seemed to be boiled.

How did Ji Xia manage to say the word "delicious" sincerely without blushing or beating heart.

Jiang Feng stared at the crab stuffed orange in front of him and fell into thought.

Wu Minqi looked at Ji Xia and fell into deep thought.

Ji Xia was burying his head in eating crab-stuffed oranges, mouthful after bite, and seemed to really think that this crab-stuffed oranges were delicious.

Jiang Feng began to wonder if he had taken in an apprentice who had a problem with his sense of taste.

Suddenly, Wu Minqi discovered the key to the problem.

"Xia Xia, have you eaten oranges before?" Wu Minqi asked.

Ji Xia nodded: "I ate it once. One year during Chinese New Year, grandma bought oranges, one for each person."

"Where's the crab?" Wu Minqi continued to ask.

"I've never eaten anything like this. During the Chinese New Year, all I eat are sea crabs." Ji Xia said.

Wu Minqi and Jiang Feng immediately understood that Ji Xia hadn't eaten much oranges, so as long as they were oranges, they felt delicious, and it had nothing to do with crab-stuffed oranges.

Wu Minqi silently moved the crab-stuffed orange in front of her to Ji Xia, and said with a smile, "Since Xia Xia likes to eat, eat more, sister Wu's is also for you."

"Sister Wu, don't you want to eat?" Ji Xia asked.

"I don't like crabs." Wu Minqi laughed.

Jiang Feng was startled, he didn't expect to be able to do this, and immediately pushed Chengzi in front of Ji Xia, showing a smile of a good master who loves his apprentice.

"If you like it, eat another one. After eating, go to rest early. Master still has crabs and oranges. If you want to eat, master can make it yourself." Jiang Feng said.

"Thank you Master!"
