Chapter 85 Crab Orange

Li Xiaoyao didn't want to go shopping. He didn't squint. He walked all the way and went straight to invite the crabs upstairs. Su Zicheng followed her with tears and laughter. Can a crab make her greedy like this? I had to go all the way to the Yuelou.

The whole building has been wrapped and has been washed and wiped clean. Li Xiaoyao sat next to Su Zicheng, and his index finger moved greatly. He turned his head and looked at the doctor of tea and rice and wine and asked, "What are the ways to eat crabs in your family? Do you have crab brewed oranges?

"Master Hui, there are 17 ways to eat: steam, stir-fry, fry, and make soup, a total of 17 kinds, crab stuffed with orange, Master Hui, you have to go down and ask the head." Dr. Chafanliangjiu replied carefully, and Li Xiaoyao waved his hand: "Go and ask, if you can't make it, let the head come over. I will teach him to eat crabs, the first ** steaming, and the second is this crab to make orange." Dr. Chafanliang agreed crisply and withdrew from the room. Su Zicheng drank tea, looked at Li Xiaoyao and asked, "Crab brewed orange? This name is interesting. Where can I eat it? This is also the first time I've heard of it.

"This is the way to eat in the south. There are fresh crabs and the sweetness of oranges. You will know it when you eat it." Li Xiaoyao explained vaguely. While talking, Dr. Chafanliang led the head into the room. The head nervously bowed to Su Zicheng, who was sitting on the head, and bowed to Li Xiaoyao to the end. Li Xiaoyao looked at the head and asked bluntly, "Have you ever made crab orange?"

"Master Hui, I heard about it for the first time."

"It's easy. Let me teach you, do you have fresh oranges?"

"Master Hui, there is!"

"This crab is easy to make orange. It's best to choose a fat male crab. Steam the meat, add ginger juice and add a little orange juice and stir-fry it over high heat. Take it to cool it. Then take a dozen grains of pork fat meat and chop it into pieces. Take two egg whites, chop fresh dragonflies into cubes, mix the crab meat with minced pork, diced egg liquid, add salt, ginger juice, drizzle a little wine, and put in In the orange, cut off the top of the orange and dig out the meat. Don't dig too clean. It's best to leave some orange meat. Then tie the top with bamboo sticks and steam it in a cage for two quarters of an hour. It's better if there is fresh ** under the orange. Li Xiaoyao said it in detail. He listened attentively and bowed and promised to retreat.

Su Zicheng listened carefully to Li Xiaoyao's recipe of making crab orange, and his eyes flashed with surprise, but he didn't ask a word.

The dishes were placed all over the table, and Li Xiaoyao only focused on peeling a fat crab. Su Zicheng frowned and looked at Li Xiaoyao, who was peeling happily, and coughed gently and said, "Let the little guys peel it for you. The crab smell is not easy to wash in your hands."

"It's interesting to eat crabs by yourself. If you don't want to peel them by yourself, you have to wait to eat crabs to make oranges. In fact, crabs are good in every way to eat them. Let's eat them all when we have time!" Li Xiaoyao answered Su Zicheng's words with great interest, and then turned his head and ordered the servant standing next to him: "See if there are ** leaf mung bean noodles. If you take some, wash your hands later."

"It's ready." The servant quickly bowed and replied. Su Zicheng shook his head with a smile and waved his hand gently. Dongping quietly motioned the servants waiting in the room to exit the house and guarded the door. Only Nanning and Xi'an were left in the room. Su Zicheng slowly shook the folding fan and looked at Li Xiaoyao and asked, "Are there still some people on the mountain in Taiping Mansion?"

"Well, the third sister-in-law and her brother Zhang Tiemu, as well as the third aunt of the Fan family, the sixth aunt, the eldest sister-in-law and the fourth sister-in-law of the Fan family, are all outside the Taiping Mansion. Before coming, they have asked Jiang Shuncai and Cheng Wang to pick them up and directly receive Kaiping Mansion." Li Xiaoyao's mind turned quickly. While eating the crab seriously, he seemed to answer very casually. Su Zicheng said 'um'. Li Xiaoyao attentively picked out a clip of leg meat and ate it, and then said, "And Mr. Sun, the uncle of the third sister-in-law who has never passed the door, is the uncle of the original shopkeeper of Wisteria. I did business in Taiping Mansion and opened a small branch tea shop. The business is good. I asked someone to bring him some money to do business in Taiping Mansion so that he doesn't have to come over.

Su Zicheng saw that Li Xiaoyao did not hide it, and was secretly relieved. He was laughed by her series of 'not going through the door': "Is Mrs. Zhang's daughter-in-law of Li Erhuai who has never gone through the door?"

"Well, Mrs. Fan's daughter-in-law is my eldest brother's daughter-in-law. Sun's wife is Zhang Tiemu's daughter-in-law. Sun's father was originally the leader of Dongshan. Later, Dongshan was cleaned up by Marshal Yuan's military training, and Sun's leader failed to escape, so our two families got together." Li Xiaoyao ate the crab feet seriously and frankly talked about the origin of the East Mountain of the pen holder and the West Mountain of the pen holder. Su Zicheng nodded, but pulled the topic back to the Taiping Mansion: "Is Manager Sun the Taiping Mansion that followed Yan Qingshan?"

"Well, because of the matter of Marshal Yuan running out of the Wisteria House, Shopkeeper Sun, Yan Fuyin, and Master Song, ate together and died together. Everyone felt sorry for each other, so they went to Taiping Mansion together. Master Song was scared and went home for retirement." Li Xiaoyao explained in detail. Su Zicheng smiled softly, looked at Li Xiaoyao, and said helplessly, "Did you hang up? Didn't you catch Marshal Yuan and kick him out at that moment?

"I didn't catch it, but I picked it. He abandoned the army and fled. After passing under the Pen Holder Mountain, it happened to be picked up by Lv Feng and me. I wanted to kill him. Later, I thought that after all, I was a member of the imperial court. I was timid and didn't dare to kill or let him go. I really had no choice but to put it in the Wisteria House first. Who knew it was still a disaster. It can be seen that this thing can't be picked casually. Li Xiaoyao explained lightly.

"Are you afraid that he will escape back to the capital and find out that Uncle Wu Guifei was killed and planted dirt on him, which is not good for you?" Su Zicheng said slowly, and Li Xiaoyao shook his head repeatedly: "I don't think so much. It was killed by Lv Feng, not me. How can I think so much? I don't have enough food."

Su Zicheng smiled and did not argue with her: "Yan Qingshan was promoted and took office early as the prime of Taiping Mansion. Manager Sun's business in Taiping Mansion is easy to do."

"Well, it's better to have someone to take care of him, so I didn't let him come back."

"After all, a small tea shop is limited. Since you can trust him so much, I will ask Nanning to send you 20,000 taels of silver. You can find a suitable person to send him, find a suitable place, and open a restaurant. Yan Qingshan is a family of Concubine Wu. Let him give him a few shares. Later, I will arrange it for him to go well. Rise by one liter." Su Zicheng arranged with a smile. Li Xiaoyao paused and simply agreed, "Okay."

While talking, Dongping reported loudly at the door. The head of the bell personally came up with a few oranges with oranges and ** patterns carved on the outside. Li Xiaoyao hurriedly threw the crab feet in his hand and raised his hand and said, "Give me one first. I'll taste it, right?"

Nanning picked up a silver dish, put it in front of Li Xiaoyao, opened the orange cover on it, and a fresh crab fragrance gushed out. Li Xiaoyao narrowed his eyes and smelled it hard, nodded and praised, "It tastes good." With that, he picked up a small silver spoon and stirred it twice in the orange, put a spoonful in his mouth, slowly tasted it for a while, turned his head and looked at the head and praised, "Your cooking is really a little spiritual, that's the taste."

The head of the bell took a breath and raised his hand to wipe his sweat. Li Xiaoyao took another bite and said with a smile, "The orange flavor is a little thicker. The diced of the dragonfly is too small and a little bigger. It's better to bite it crisply. Everything else is very good."

"Reward him." Su Zicheng ate a mouthful of crab brewing orange, listened to Li Xiaoyao's words, nodded with approval, turned his head and ordered Xi'an. Xi'an took a small silver bag and handed it to the head. The head was surprised. He took the silver, quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank him, and got up and retreated out.

Li Xiaoyao stared enviously at the silver bank in the hand of the head. She also earned such a silver bank once. Su Zicheng ate a crab brewed orange, picked up a cup of hot yellow wine and drank it slowly. Li Xiaoyao washed his hands and slowly drank half a glass of wine. His face turned red and hot. He quickly put down the wine and raised his hand to stroke his forehead: "I don't drink much, so I can't drink."

Nanning made a cup of hot tea and brought it up. Li Xiaoyao drank a few sips of tea, stood in front of the window, blowing the cool breeze, and looked at the bustling streets below. Su Zicheng followed him to the window, slowly shook the folding fan, and looked at Li Xiaoyao, who was lying on the window sill. The suspicion in his heart became more and more serious. Where did this insight come from? Question mark This crab-brewed orange is not affordable for ordinary people. What kind of people can raise such a smart girl? Her brothers are just excellent children of the common people.

Li Xiaoyao blew the cool breeze for a while, and the heat on his face gradually faded. He turned his head to look at Su Zicheng, who was silently looking at himself, and said with a smile, "Let's go shopping. Where do you want to go? I'll go with you!"

Su Zicheng raised his eyebrows and couldn't laugh or cry as she said: "There is a pearl and jade in Ru City. Occasionally, there are a few good things. Let's take a look."

"Good! I like to watch Jewelry Jane the most. Let's go." Li Xiaoyao promised happily. The two went downstairs, walked along the lively street, turned a few corners, and entered a quiet alley. The two small and old black doors on the head of the alley were half opened. One was wearing a dark gray cocoon long shirt, about 40 years old, neither fat or thin. Looking at the extremely inconspicuous middle-aged man standing at the door, he saw Su Zicheng from afar. , hurriedly knelt to the ground, and the dark door behind him quietly opened.

Su Zicheng walked past the middle-aged man and raised his hand: "Get up, shopkeeper Luo came here in person? What's good?" Li Xiaoyao followed Su Zicheng half a step out of the yard and carefully looked around. Outside the door, seven or eight young men in blue and hats knelt down and turned the shadow wall. The ancient trees in the yard were towering. Except for the trees, there were no other flowers and shrubs, against the pink wall and green tiles, which looked refreshing and unusually clean. Shopkeeper Luo half bowed his body, led him sideways, passed through the hanging flower door, and went straight into the main room.
