Chapter 1277: Cooking crab

“Is there no other way?” Thinking of his beer, Chen Wei asked unwillingly.
“No, not in this situation.” Yuan Zhou thought for a while seriously and then answered.
“Then we probably won’t be able to finish it.” Chen Wei said carefully.
This time, Yuan Zhou didn’t say anything. Instead, he looked at the crabs in each of their hands. His meaning was obvious that with so many crabs, they would definitely be used up.
“I suddenly regret bringing so many crabs.” Chen Wei said helplessly.
“Alright, it’s getting late. We should go upstairs.” Jiang Changxi said.
“Yes, yes, yes, it’s time to go.” Cheng Han took the initiative to take on the task of being a waiter and led the customers upstairs.
Even though this was actually Cheng Cheng’s first time drinking here.
Sun Ming walked at the back and revealed an evil smile to Yuan Zhou,””Then I’ll go up and wait for the food.”
“Get lost,” he said. Yuan Zhou silently mouthed the word “get lost” and then recovered his serious expression.

However, Yin ya and master Cheng didn’t go up immediately. Instead, they just stood there and waited for Yuan Zhou. Obviously, they wanted to help him.
The others then handed the crab boxes to master Cheng.
“Put all the crabs here.” Yuan Zhou led the two of them to the opposite side of the crayfish pond in the backyard. There was a double-row bluestone sink there, which was very large. It was used to wash the whole sheep and also to prepare for the whole cow washing after zhama banquet.
Therefore, the two large limestone troughs were particularly large, and the glass counter at the side was also very spacious. It did not seem crowded even when eleven boxes of crabs were placed there.
“Master, what else can I do?” Master Cheng put down the crab boxes one by one and then asked Yuan Zhou earnestly.
“Go and bring three card furnaces upstairs. Put one on each table.” Yuan Zhou didn’t refuse him but said directly.
“Alright, master.” Master Cheng went to carry the stove with great enthusiasm.
“The stove is on the first floor of the tavern.” Yuan Zhou immediately added when he saw master Cheng didn’t even ask for the seat.
“Don’t worry, master. I know where it is. I’ve seen it before downstairs.” Master Cheng turned his head and said honestly.
“Go on.” Yuan Zhou waved his hand.
“Shua shua shua.” Master Cheng Ran away quickly, leaving Yuan Zhou and Yin ya behind.
Yuan Zhou deftly took out some kitchenware from the Azure stone countertop. These were all bought by Yuan Zhou himself and had not been used much. Then, he directly began to wash them.
In the sound of water splashing, Yin ya stood at the side and watched Yuan Zhou washing the face seriously. After quite a while, she said.
“What do you need my help with?” Yin ya looked at Yuan Zhou and asked eagerly.
“Didn’t you just say that you don’t know how to cook crabs?” Yuan Zhou looked at Yin ya with an inexplicable expression and said doubtfully.
One should know that Yuan Zhou thought Yin ya stayed behind just to see how he cooked the crab. He didn’t expect her to come and help.
“I really don’t know how to cook crabs, but I can do other things.” Yin ya bore with it for a while and then made it clear.
“You don’t have to do anything else. Cheng zhaomei can do it.” Yuan Zhou didn’t stop his hands and said straightforwardly.
As Yuan Zhou had already put on the face mask again when he washed the wok, his voice sounded muffled but clear.
Yin ya blinked her beautiful eyes and felt a burst of powerlessness and defeat in her heart.
At that time, Yuan Zhou continued,””All that’s left is to carry the wine and the pot. It’s all rough work that hurts the hands, so you don’t have to do it.”
“Huu.” Yin ya heaved a sigh of relief inwardly. The sense of defeat she felt just now strangely disappeared in an instant and a good-looking smile appeared on her face.
However, before Yin ya could say a few words of ridicule to increase the atmosphere, master Cheng happened to come back and heard the last sentence. He immediately continued,”Yes, yes, yes. This kind of rough work should be left to me.”
“Alright then, you guys go ahead. I’m going up.” Yin ya muttered Cheng Han’s cuteness in her heart and then turned around to leave in big strides.
Yuan Zhou answered lightly. He didn’t raise his head because he was washing the pot, but his tone was quite gentle.
“It seems like it’s impossible to wait for this guy to take the initiative.” With her back to Yuan Zhou, Yin ya burst into laughter. She stroked her long hair and then left.
“Master, what can I do now?” Master Cheng didn’t know anything about the little scheme of the two people just now. He continued to look at Yuan Zhou expectantly and asked.
Master Cheng really hoped that he could help Yuan Zhou. After all, Yuan Zhou had really taught him a lot and his cooking skills had improved significantly.
Naturally, he also wanted to give back to his master Yuan Zhou. As a result, he was very positive every time.
“Go and bring the beer barrels from the first floor over. The date is written on the barrels.” Yuan Zhou said.
“Alright,” he said. After master Cheng answered, he immediately went to carry the buckets.
When master Cheng came back, Yuan Zhou asked him to pour half a pot of beer into each of the three woks. A fresh fragrance of the barley beer instantly spread out.
“What about now, master?” Master Cheng continued to ask.
“Watch how I clean and process the crab.” After Yuan Zhou said that, he directly started to open the box.
“Okay, master.” Master Cheng answered immediately and then stood half a step away from Yuan Zhou.
This position was the best position for master Cheng, his apprentice, to see Yuan Zhou’s technique clearly without blocking his way.
Seeing master Cheng stand still, Yuan Zhou quickly opened the boxes and then placed the crabs out one by one.
Each crab was very big. The male crab was around 250 grams, and the female crab was around 250 grams. They all looked pretty good on the outside, and the crabs were making bubbles. They were very active.
Yuan Zhou took out all the crabs and tied them up. In this way, they were both convenient to transport and cook.
“Crabs are actually very clean, because good crabs can only be raised with good water quality. However, the washing step can not be omitted. The most important thing is to calm the crab down.” Yuan Zhou’s voice was transmitted through the face mask.
“Yes.” Master Cheng took out a small notebook that he didn’t know where he had put it and started to make notes. Then, he made a special mark under the word ‘pacify’.
After saying that, Yuan Zhou started to take the crab with his left hand and Cut the Rope with the scissors in his right hand.
As soon as the rope was cut, the crab immediately became lively and aggressive. Yuan Zhou pinched the crab shell with his left hand and started to clean the crab with the soft brush he had prepared in advance with his right hand.
With Yuan Zhou’s special technique, he seemed to hit the itchy part of the crab every time, making it quiet down. Even when he was about to finish washing it, the crab even spread out its claws and stopped moving, appearing to be very comfortable.
After washing one, Yuan Zhou immediately wiped the water stains on the crab with a soft cotton cloth. Then, he put the crab, which had stretched out its claws comfortably, into the pot that was filled with beer gently.
When it came into contact with water, the crab subconsciously blew bubbles and gulped down a few mouthfuls of beer. Perhaps it was because the massage was too comfortable, the crab did not struggle at all in the beer. It quietly blew bubbles in the beer and drank it, looking very pleased.
“Master is really amazing. He can even deal with crabs without using violence.” Master Cheng thought in his heart. He looked at Yuan Zhou’s hand with a more determined look and prepared to be more serious.
The sound of “Hua La La, shua shua shua” was constantly heard. Not only did Yuan Zhou’s movements become gentle and slow, but his speed was also very fast. In just a little while, the pot was filled with crabs that were drinking wine.
However, Yuan Zhou didn’t stop. He continued to wash the crabs seriously. After all, there were dozens of crabs.
