Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 1482 - 301. Crab Feast (18)
Chapter 1482: 301. Crab Feast (18)
Xia Zheng chuckled and asked, "So tell me, who between me and Wei Boyu is more handsome, more heroic, and more attractive to you?"
Lin Yuan’s lips twitched slightly as she looked up at Xia Zheng, who was twisting his head and half-turning his body to stare at her, and she couldn’t help but thrash him internally.
However, as much as she thrashed him internally, she still looked at Xia Zheng with the same adoring eyes that Xu Muqing had when looking at Wei Borong, her eyes shining as she said, "You are the most handsome, you are the most heroic, you attract me the most. Not to mention the Eldest Young Master Wei, even if all the men in the world were placed in front of me, I wouldn’t see them. In my eyes, in my heart, there is only you."
After saying such cheesy words, Lin Yuan felt a chill on her back; if someone touched her arms, they would definitely feel countless goosebumps.
Yet, to Xia Zheng, these cheesy and coquettish words seemed like treasures exuding charming allure, making him unable to let go and exciting him to the point where even his earlobes turned slightly red.
He suddenly turned around, grabbed Lin Yuan’s soft, fair little hand, and excitedly asked repeatedly, "Really? Do you really think so? Yuanyuan, I feel so happy today. I will definitely have a beautiful dream when I sleep later."
Lin Yuan smiled wryly, nodded repeatedly, and took the opportunity to pull him towards the stairs to the second floor, "Of course what I said is true. Not just men, even if it were women standing in front of me, you would still be the most handsome and attractive one!"
Contentedly, Xia Zheng went to sleep filled with Lin Yuan’s love, and just as he said, he indeed had a beautiful dream.
In the dream, Lin Yuan finally wore the red wedding gown, and he too was dressed in a red suit, foolishly smiling at the bride across from him with a veil over her face, blissfully getting married under the guidance of a Little Matchmaker and entering the bridal room.
As soon as Xia Zheng entered the room to sleep, Lin Yuan let out a sigh of relief. This guy, needing sweet words just to fall asleep, why does it feel more and more like he’s a child?
"The imposing Second Young Master Xia, who doesn’t easily mix with others, also has such childish moments? Tsk tsk, if this gets out, it would surely make those noble girls in the Capital drop their jaws!"
Lin Yuan hadn’t even turned around when she heard Wei Boyu making sarcastic remarks. She raised an eyebrow; no wonder Xia Zheng despised this guy. Compared to the foolish Wei Borong, this elder brother really isn’t endearing.
However, she didn’t need to refute him herself, as someone else had already taken offense and spoke up first.
Yan Ruchun crossed his arms and snorted coldly.
"What Young Master Xia is enjoying is the joy of intimacy; you, an old bachelor, shouldn’t spout nonsense if you don’t understand. Humph, but even if you did speak out, it wouldn’t matter. I actually look forward to seeing Second Young Master Xia hang you up and beat you. When that happens, I will definitely post notices all around the Capital and bring people of all ages to watch your spectacle!"
"You, you Yan Smelly Mouth!"
"Your mouth is the stinky one!"
"You!"
At this moment, it was the time for Dong Tian to receive guests, and there were quite a few customers in the hall. Hearing the two bickering, everyone widened their eyes, and even those who knew them were already speechless from shock.
But Lin Yuan was very calm.
Having heard too many arguments, Lin Yuan felt that she had automatically formed a protective mode, already immune to those noisy quarrels.
She boredly dug at her ears, seemingly oblivious to the two red-faced arguers, and headed straight to the back yard.
In just a short while, Xu Muqing and Wei Borong had already sorted that basin of crabs into different categories, with the first basin containing the fattest and largest ones, the second basin having slightly inferior ones, and the third basin filled with crabs significantly smaller than those in the first basin.
Xu Muqing pouted with her chubby cheeks puffed up into a round shape, looking very cute.
"Yuanyuan, look, the crabs in this basin are so small. Just now, Brother Rong even said he was going to send these back and exchange them for better ones!"
Wei Borong also looked dejected, clearly blaming himself for picking such small crabs.
Lin Yuan glanced at the crabs in the third basin. Although they were much smaller compared to those in the first basin, such a size was still very normal, not small at all.
Smiling, Lin Yuan pointed at the small river crabs and said, "These little river crabs are also very cute. Later, I’ll make river crab noodles for you using these, it’s really tasty."
For foodies, indeed, food is the best way to divert attention. ƒгeewebnovёl_com
As soon as Lin Yuan finished mentioning the river crab noodles, Xu Muqing’s eyes immediately sparkled, excitedly asking her what river crab noodles were and if they were tasty.
Xu Muqing’s mood soared, and Wei Borong was also influenced, immediately joining her in laughing heartily, looking completely different from the gloomy little chubby one from before.
Looking at the pair of carefree chubby kids in front of her, who only knew about loving each other, Lin Yuan shook her head with a smile, envying such a simple life.
Lin Yuan’s private kitchen had only one stove top, so after steaming the crabs, there was no place to stir-fry the sauce and burst river crabs, so she had Wei Borong and Xu Muqing take the first basin of crabs to the main kitchen.
Steamed crabs require one to pick and eat by hand, so it’s important to choose the fattest and largest crabs for a satisfying meal.
After explaining the timing for steaming to the two, Lin Yuan carried the second tray of crabs to the small kitchen.
To prevent the crabs in the third basin from escaping, Lin Yuan also found a large board to cover the third basin.
After preparing everything, Lin Yuan began cooking. The first dish to make was the sauce burst river crabs, cutting the crabs in half from the middle, indeed revealing the fatty crab roe.
Lin Yuan nodded to herself, don’t judge Wei Borong by his silly appearance, his brain is actually quite useful, at least he knew how to apply what he learned and remembered things he read clearly.
To prevent the crab roe and meat from the cut surface from flowing out, Lin Yuan also coated the cut surface with some flour, then arranged them on a plate.
After all this was done, it was time to start frying.
Put oil in the pan, heat it up, then fry the flour-coated crab pieces until the crab roe was solidified, add some wine to remove fishiness, then add salt for seasoning and stir-fry.
Actually, this is a very quick and simple dish, just be careful not to damage the cut surface while frying the crabs.
Crabs cook quickly, and once done, add some fresh green onion as decoration before serving.
As Lin Yuan finished this dish, Xu Muqing and Wei Borong also came over with the freshly steamed crabs from the pot.
Seeing Xu Muqing’s excitedly flushed chubby face, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
