Li Qiu has been for a while, it is still hot, a few steps outside are sweaty, the look of pedestrians is also hurried, women hold umbrellas, men frown, the sun is really big. Downstairs children's area play place always do not see a few dolls, the mall to the weekend is like dumplings, people crowded, really shopped, rubbing air conditioning also have, outside is too hot, stay at home and very boring.
A few gusts of wind and rain, the temperature in Suzhou finally dropped, the sun is not so strong, a gust of wind to have the taste of autumn, after the night there is a trace of coolness, a little inattentive and easy to catch a cold. When I got up in the morning and went to the kitchen, I was pleasantly surprised to find a dozen small crabs restlessly lying on my stomach in the sink, spitting bubbles in irritation in search of an escape. My mother-in-law rushed over to me and told me that she didn't know what to do. The mother-in-law is a northerner, and the country woman does not say that she eats crabs, and even crabs have not seen much, do not know the mother and father, will not pick, and will not cook. She knew I liked to eat, so she bought it.
Just listed for the sake of it, these crabs are really small, one by one is also cute, the shell on the back is not very hard, the hair on the legs is also sparse, the strength is not small, lift one, immediately clamp me up and scream. The 5-year-old baby heard the cry, rushed out of the room, saw the small crab in the sink, and danced happily.
There are many ways to make crabs, steamed, fried, stir-fried, and soupy, all of which are delicious. I like steamed crab the most, the method is simple and retains the most primitive umami taste, pinch the back of the crab so that its two large pliers can not reach you, the faucet under the side of the rinse, while using a small brush to brush its belly, feet, find a thin line, its pliers, feet are tied up can not move. One by one, the yards were put on the plate, each one was evenly sprinkled with fine salt, green onion, ginger foam, sprayed with a little cooking wine, covered with the lid of the steamer, set for twenty minutes, and soon the aroma was overflowing, and the whole house was full of crab aroma and umami.
There is an interesting thing about crabs, the current husband was just a boyfriend at that time, we rented a three-bedroom apartment with colleagues, the community is an old community, often people sell their own vegetables downstairs, fish caught in the river. One day there was a cry of crabs and crabs downstairs, and the gentleman was very excited, saying that someone downstairs was selling crabs, and I went to buy them for you. After saying that, I hurried downstairs, and after a while I pedaled up, and I asked, what about the crabs. The gentleman said that it was not a crab seller, whose children were called crabs, and the family was shouting. A room full of roommates laughed.
Babies also like to eat crabs, and this morning they are extraordinarily well-behaved, brushing their teeth and washing their faces early, and sitting at the table waiting. The crab that had just come out of the pot was steaming hot, its whole body was red, and the crab's feet were struggling to fall, and its eyes were staring fiercely. Although these crabs are small, the yellow is very full, and they use chopsticks to pick up a piece of crab yellow and put it in the baby's mouth, directly praising it as too delicious and delicious.
I love seafood and crab. When I was a child, the economic conditions were not rich, the price of crabs was low, and ordinary people were almost reluctant to buy and eat, but there must be a dish on the banquet that was steamed crab, one for each person. Occasionally Dad went to attend a colleague's wedding feast, always had to sit at the head of the bed watching TV while waiting for Dad to come back, Dad knew that there was a hungry guy waiting at home, not much delay, after eating he came back early, pushed open the door to see Baba Waiting for the, his hands were spread, there were no crabs on the table today. The hungry man was disappointed and pouted his mouth to be wronged. Well, after the trick was finished, Dad then magically smiled and squinted and took out a well-wrapped crab from the inner pocket of his jacket, and the tears on the side of the hungry girl were still swirling, and he immediately cracked his mouth and laughed. The female crab is small, but there is crab yellow, lick a bite, straight to the stomach head, the male crab is big, crab yellow is not much, but there is crab paste, bite a bite of sticky sticky, eat until almost no look up to ask Dad, how do you not eat on the mat Ah, Dad smiled and squinted that my teeth are not good to chew ah.
Crabs are delicious, but they are very troublesome to eat, prepare a small dish of vinegar, wash your hands, and pay attention to the need to prepare professional crab peeling tools. Last year, when a large number of crabs were listed, a friend brought the crab meatballs made by the aunt to taste, the whole balls were made of crab meat, a bite down, the meat overflowed with fresh juice, that is called a desire to stop, the aftertaste is endless, we feasted on the side, while lamenting the aunt's carefulness, patience and love for the younger generation.
The baby wants to eat after eating one, crab cold can not eat more, eat more is not good for the stomach, so to dip ginger vinegar to eat, remove some cold, but the umami taste will also be discounted, these crabs are very small, eat another one is no harm, I give her a fine peel, dipped in vinegar, sent to the mouth, the baby is happy, eat to the head of the head to ask, mother how do you not eat ah. I smiled and said that my mother didn't like to eat crabs.
It's getting cooler and the autumn is getting deeper, so buy some crabs on the weekend and go home to see my parents.
