Chapter 403 Crab Stuffed Orange
As we all know, Ji Xia is a very honest child.
Although sometimes she chooses to solve problems with her fists because she is not good at words or does not want to talk, but most of the time, the word "simple" is not an exaggeration to describe her.
So when Ji Xia came back with a large bag of oranges and a price list of 99.67 yuan on the bag, Jiang Feng was not surprised at all.
"I've already watched your video of cutting vegetables today." Jiang Feng took the orange from Ji Xia and put it on the cupboard. "The cucumber strips you cut today are obviously much neater than yesterday."
Ji Xia was very excited after receiving a new compliment and felt that her whole body was full of energy: "Master, what should I do now?"
"Go to the cutting board and see if there's anything you can help with cutting."
"Okay!"
……
In the evening, Jiang Feng spent a few minutes picking out two outstanding oranges from a bag of oranges that looked the best, were round, full, and bright in color. When he smelled them closely, he could still smell a faint fruity aroma. He decided to pick them tonight. Use the two oranges to make crab-stuffed oranges.
He had one Qiqi and the noodles could be put away first. Jiang Feng used his not very accurate intuition to notice that Qiqi seemed to not want to eat noodles recently.
These days, when Qiqi serves the bowl every night, there is always a bit of resistance in her eyes.
After picking the oranges, Jiang Feng was about to go to the kitchen to get sesame oil and go downstairs to borrow crabs from his uncle when he saw Ji Xia, who was about to enter the room to mop the floor with a freshly washed mop.
After becoming a teacher, Ji Xia's children deeply realized what it means to eat someone else's mouth and take advantage of others. Now she not only eats and drinks every day, but also accepts the clothes Jiang Feng bought her and the hand cream and face cream Wu Minqi bought her. The child Ji Xia, a bonded worker, deeply felt that she was just doing odd jobs in the kitchen every day to learn skills. In the afternoon, she went to Li's house to make pig food for Dahua. The little work she did every day could not offset what the master gave her, so Ji Xia, a bonded worker The children come to Jiang Feng's house to clean the house every night.
Since Ji Xia's child also lost Jiang Feng's bicycle today, she decided not only to mop the floor but also clean the windows.
Time is tight and the task is heavy, so we must solve it quickly.
Jiang Feng glanced at Ji Xia, who was actively working, and silently took out another orange from the bag.
It's not easy for the apprentice to come over and clean up every night. As a master, he should give her something good to eat and reward her.
Jiang Feng went downstairs with sesame oil and knocked on Jiang Jianguo's door. It was Jiang Jianguo who opened the door. Jiang Feng keenly smelled the smell of crab from him.
"Uncle, have you eaten crabs?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Yes, my old classmate sent me the hairy crabs from Yangcheng Lake two days ago. They are very plump!" Jiang Jianguo happily took the sesame oil, "My classmate sent me dozens of them at once, and they were all kept in the pool. Here, Xiaofeng, please wait, uncle will get some for you.”
With that said, Jiang Jianguo went to the balcony to get crabs for Jiang Feng.
There was no need for Jiang Feng to ask for a loan, and the crabs were automatically delivered to his door.
The aunt who was supposed to be sitting on the yoga mat doing yoga was sitting next to the dining table, holding a crab leg in her hand and the crab shell that she had just chewed on and stuck to the crab.
Jiang Feng and the eldest aunt met each other's eyes. The eldest aunt smiled at Jiang Feng and asked politely: "Xiao Feng, there is another crab in the pot. Do you want to eat it?"
"No, Auntie, you can eat it," Jiang Feng said.
The eldest aunt nodded with satisfaction and continued to nibble on the crab legs.
Bite into the rotten crab shell and bite out the meat.
Violent crab eating method.
Not long after, Jiang Jianguo walked out of the balcony with a thin red plastic bag in his hand. Jiang Feng could clearly see through the plastic bag that there were four crabs inside that were tied tightly and could not open their teeth.
They were big and plump. It seemed that Jiang Jianguo had just been carefully selecting from a pool of crabs on the balcony.
"After you finish eating, come back to your uncle's house to pick it up!" Jiang Jianguo handed the plastic bag to Jiang Feng.
"Thank you, uncle, I will." Jiang Feng was very touched and said that he would come to borrow crabs tomorrow night.
After returning home with the crabs, Wu Minqi was still taking a bath in the bathroom, Ji Xia was mopping the bedroom floor, and Jiang Feng went to the kitchen to get a brush to clean the crabs.
Jiang Jianguo gave Jiang Feng four female crabs, which was exactly what he wanted. Crab stuffed with orange must have crab meat and crab roe to make it delicious.
Previously, when the Jiang family was still opening healthy snacks in Z market, they sold everything on the market. The crab market sold spicy crabs and hairy crabs, and the lobster market sold spicy crayfish. Therefore, Jiang Feng has very rich experience in cleaning lobsters and crabs.
After skillfully brushing the three female crabs clean and leaving the remaining one to survive for a day, Jiang Feng put the three still tied female crabs directly into the cage for steaming, and then began to process the oranges.
He has seen how to make crab-stuffed oranges many times. It's not difficult at all. The main thing is to be careful, use fine ingredients, and handle the raw materials carefully.
For example, the Shaoxing Xiangxue wine is used when making crab-stuffed oranges. This is a kind of double wine made by using lees instead of water, and using the method of pouring rice over rice. It has a mellow flavor and a hint of sweetness because the lees Only when it is as white as snow is it called fragrant snow wine. This kind of wine has the strong aroma of white wine and the mellow sweetness of rice wine. It is one of the very high-end Shaoxing wine varieties. If Comrade Jiang Jiankang didn't have a special liking for Shaoxing wine in dishes and collected a lot of Shaoxing wine, Jiang Feng wouldn't have been able to get good Shaoxing Xiangxue wine so easily.
This kind of wine has low alcohol content, high sugar content and strong aroma, making it perfect for serving in dishes.
Jiang Feng imitated Master Peng in his memory and cut off 1/4 of the top of the orange. He used scissors to carefully cut off the fascia connected to the orange flesh. He picked up the small scissors and then the small spoon, wanting to stuff his head into it. Inside the orange, carefully take out the orange flesh little by little.
When an orange was empty, Jiang Feng felt that his neck was almost broken.
Not only did my neck hurt, but my head also felt dizzy. The feeling I had when Third Grandpa helped Ji Xue peel beans on his birthday came back.
The feeling that I was only one bean away from cervical spondylosis.
The orange flesh had been completely dug out by Jiang Feng, leaving only a shallow layer of orange juice in the orange. Perhaps because he often deboned squabs, Jiang Feng did such delicate work quite quickly. Before the crabs on the stove were steamed, Jiang Feng stretched his neck and started digging out an orange.
Ji Xia had already finished mopping the floor in the living room and balcony, and was about to mop the floor in the dining room when he saw Jiang Feng holding an orange in his left hand and a small spoon in his right hand with one eye half-closed as if he was taking something out of the orange.
If you don't understand, just ask loudly. This is the first thing Ji Xia learned in the back kitchen of Tai Feng Building.
"Master, what are you doing?" Ji Xia asked.
"Make crab stuffed with oranges." Jiang Feng said.
“Crab stuffed with orange?”
"A dish made with oranges and crabs. Don't leave until you finish mopping the floor. I'll have your share too," Jiang Feng said.
"Okay!" Ji Xia said happily.
Oranges are fruits and crabs are meat, both of which she could rarely eat before.
The fruit and meat dishes made by Master must be particularly delicious.
She decided that today she would not only clean the windows, but also the vases!
Ji Xia continued to mop the floor enthusiastically, and Wu Minqi also ended her long bath and came out of the bathroom with her hair wrapped in a towel as usual. She was a little surprised to see that Jiang Feng didn't even stretch his face today.
Even a little lucky.
Carbohydrates are truly the enemy of women.
"Fengfeng, aren't you going to make noodles tonight?" Wu Minqi asked.
"I won't do it anymore. I think you might be tired of eating noodles every night. Let's change the taste tonight. I'll make crab-stuffed orange for you." Jiang Feng said.
Wu Minqi suddenly smiled and asked: "Is there anything you need my help with?"
Wu Minqi really asked the right question this time. Jiang Feng really needed her help. He even took out two oranges. Now Jiang Feng felt dizzy and weak. He looked up and looked at the light and found it too dazzling.
"Qiqi, please help me break down the crab meat. I still have an orange to dig out and I'm a bit busy." Jiang Feng said, "The crabs should be almost ready."
"Okay." Wu Minqi walked towards the kitchen and opened the lid. The crabs were indeed cooked. She picked up the crab strings with chopsticks and put the crabs on the plate.
"Xia Xia, do you want to come and open the crabs with me?" Wu Minqi asked.
"Crab removal?" Ji Xia was confused as she held the mop.
"It means digging out the crab meat and crab roe separately. You must learn this. Many dishes require crab meat or crab roe." Wu Minqi explained.
"What if I don't dig well?" Ji Xia hesitated because she was afraid that she would delay Jiang Feng's cooking.
"I'll teach you. It's very simple. It just requires patience and care." Wu Minqi smiled, "Stop mopping the floor tonight and learn with your master. That's how learning to cook is. Most of the time, the master is If you don’t teach me, you have to see it on your own, there are many things You'll understand when you look at it. It's the same when you're in the kitchen. Don't be stupid and just know how to chop vegetables. You have to learn more, listen more, and watch more. Your master didn't put you in the kitchen. The one who works as a laborer asks you to learn the craft from him.”
The small class of gold medal master Wu Minqi has started.
"Okay." Ji Xia went to the balcony to put the mop on and didn't forget to wash her hands.
She decided that tomorrow she would clean the windows and vases, and also clean the TV cabinet.
She just bent down to mop the floor and saw that the back of the TV cabinet was dirty. (End of chapter)
