Chapter 742 Crab Meal

The next step is to weave the basket, select high-quality moso bamboo, break the bamboo strips, take the strips, grind them up and down, and wind and weave them into flower hoops.

Cut off a bamboo skin about ten centimeters long and one centimeter thick, put it into a hot pot, mix it with sand and stir-fry until the bamboo skin is roasted red, and you will get a hard red bamboo skin.

The last step is to mix the loess and pine hair into the stone mortar in proportion, pound it with a mallet until it is sticky, pour it into the upper and lower flower bamboo hoops, tamp it with a wooden hammer and an iron hammer, and smooth it.

Clockwise, the red bamboo skin is embedded into it according to the grain to form grinding teeth, which is made into milling.

After the rice hulling is completed, pour in the dry grain and conduct test grinding and adjustment. If the soil rice hulling can remove the husk and the rice yield rate is high, it means that the soil rice flour can be used normally.

Su You made a large mill for the village, almost two meters in diameter.

The wooden parts have been mechanically processed by Shanghai Wu according to unified standards, and the structure only needs to be assembled.

All that was left was for Liu Wanchun to organize the carpenters and masons in his clan to carry out the operation.

Three days later, when the grinding was completed, Su You asked Liu Wanchun to take out last year's old rice and grind it.

The efficiency is quite high. It only takes a few hours to grind a large amount of rice and shell a hundred kilograms of rice.

Liu Wanchun was so impressed by Xiao Su Taibao's ability that everything he said was false, but it was real when he saw immediate results!

When Su You saw Liu Wanchun's look, he couldn't help but feel happy. He said, "What's going on here?" When the village has money, they can build a water-powered mill and move all these things to the mill. That will save labor.

Sitong Construction Company, on the other hand, is experimenting with building two bridges at Anhewei Port.

The structure of the Bianshui Hong Bridge has been named the stacked beam arch bridge structure.

After years of exploration, the structure has become more complex, the bridge has become more stable, and its load-bearing capacity is greater.

The horizontal structure is divided into a three-section seedling system, a five-section seedling system and a superposition of the bridge deck seedling system.

The end-vertical racking system is divided into load-bearing support systems such as general columns, imitation wood, horse legs, horse leg diagonal braces, Bofeng crossbars, large bull heads, calf heads, etc.

With these structures, even Suyou has now become an amateur, while Sitong Construction Company is the real expert.

It sounds very simple. These are just long, short, thick, and thin wooden columns. But in the hands of smart Chinese people, these several-meter-long components can be assembled into strong bridges that can be twenty or thirty meters long.

This is just wood. If part of it is replaced with reinforced concrete, it will be even more terrifying.

The hook manager of the Sitong Construction Department disagreed with Su You's argument. Otherwise, it would be better to just use the current technology to build a stone arch bridge, but that is another structure.

So Suyou couldn't help much. It happened that the village killed two pigs for the arrival of the engineering team, so they might as well get food.

"The autumn wind blows and crab legs itch." Taihu crab is also a rare delicacy for future generations.

Today, the residents living by the water live in poverty. Crabs are an indispensable thing for them to satisfy their hunger. There are too many of these things in Taihu Lake today.

Taihu crabs are somewhat different from hairy crabs. They have green shells, white bellies, golden claws and yellow hairs.

In later generations, there were only three or four of the best, but now we simply don’t have too many of them.

Su You asked the children in the village to catch them, wrap them with straw, and put them in bamboo baskets, flushing them with water from the canals of Daggang. They happened to deal with them together today.

This summer has been a bit dry, but the crabs have become fatter in advance, and Su You is already hungry for them.

Today he is organizing the children in the village to make lard crabmeal paste.

Instruct the cook to steam the rice first. After a while, the crab paste is ready and it will be uncomfortable to wait without rice!

Send the children to wash their hands, put the Taihu crabs tied with straw belly up one by one, put them in the pot and cook for one minute, take them out, and then steam them in water.

This is a trick taught by a classmate from Shanghai in later generations. If you boil the crab all the way, the meat will be too wet and the umami flavor is in the water. If you steam it all the way, the crab meat in the shell will be too dry.

When steaming, add perilla and ginger to remove the fishy smell.

Stew the steamed crabs for two to three minutes.

After taking out the pot, let several teenage girls in the village bring their scissors and boil them, and then everyone will cut off all the crab legs and peel them!

The crabs are so fat that after steaming some of them, the back of the lid sticks up.

Su You took one and opened it, and crab paste and crab oil immediately flowed all over his hands.

First add the lard and tea oil into the pot and melt it. This is to prevent the pure lard from condensing too much.

Pour in crab paste and crab oil and stir-fry, then add rice wine and simmer over low heat for three to five minutes to remove the oil and smell.

Then add other crab meat, salt, white pepper, white wine, icing sugar, and minced ginger. The fragrance immediately spread throughout the village.

The children gathered around the big pot, with their mouths and eyes shining brightly. There is something delicious tonight!

There was also a commotion in the village. This stuff smells so good!

The young daughters-in-law are embarrassed. There are no taboos among the married women and old ladies in the village. At first they thought that Tanhualang was fooling around with his children, but now they all came over to see what was going on.

I’m afraid it’s just another natal dish! In the future, if the girls in the family bring this skill with them, they will look glorious when they get married!

But it's too late, the ginger crab powder paste has been made and has entered the stage of packaging into pottery bottles.

Tanhualang's temper is now familiar to everyone in the village. He is really amiable. If it weren't for the officials and masters who came with him, who are all very respectful, he would be a scholar in the village!

Unlike Wanchun, Tanhualang is a versatile farmer. Such a person is simply the best candidate for son-in-law!

So an old lady said: "Mr. Lang, tell us how you do this food!"

Su You smiled and said: "Yes, I must say it, I must say it. This thing will become an industry in the village from now on. Sitong Company will come to collect it every ** month, and we will sell it to Bianjing City! Let the officials pay for it.

!”

The old lady laughed: "How can we let the officials pay for it! Don't let the officials laugh at us!"

Su You also laughed: "But don't panic now. Let's take a bottle back to each family and see how it tastes. I'll mix the rice for the kids. I'm really greedy and panicking!"

The children nodded together, Uncle Tanhualang was so right!

So when Cai Jing brought Zheng Xia and Yan Jidao to Anhewei, he saw Su You holding a large bowl of rice and a group of children also holding rice squatting at the entrance of the village and cooking.

It looked like a big squirrel leading a group of little squirrels.

When Cai Jing saw the appearance of Su You and the children, he couldn't help but feel that it was both funny and weird. The impact this deputy national-level cadre had on his mind was really great.

He already knew Su You's temperament, which was gentle, kind, smart, and capable.

It can even be said that by using half of his abilities, he has gained a lot of people's hearts and reputation.

And the remaining half is enough to push it to its current high level.

So he is not an ordinary good guy, but a good guy who can see through all the tricks, but sometimes is too lazy to argue with you.

He can use various benefits that you cannot refuse to convince you to become his companion.

So don't pretend with him, if you have to pretend, he can pretend a hundred times better than you.

Then Yan Jidao was heard scolding: "How unbecoming it is to look like this!"

Zheng Xia hurriedly tugged on Yan Jidao's sleeves and stepped forward to bow and salute: "Young Protector, Zheng Xia has come upon the call."

Su You stood up with a bowl in hand: "You're here? Have you eaten? I just tried a new dish, I think it's okay..."

Yan Jidao bowed and said: "I look up to the previous generations and train Dijue officials. I establish the Grand Master, the Grand Tutor, and the Grand Protector. These are the three masters. They discuss Taoism, classics and states, and regulate yin and yang. Officials are not necessary, but their people. Young Master,

Shaofu and Shaobao are called Sangu. The second Duke made great contributions to the world, and he lit up the sky and the earth, and killed one person."

"The Duke of Ming Dynasty prepares the throne for the three orphans, and when he assists and praises Ming Dynasty, he pays tribute to the kings Yao and Shun; the last step is to transform the people with etiquette, so that the awareness of respect and inferiority is constant. With such confusion, how can the official body exist? Where can the etiquette of scholar-bureaucrats exist?"

Su You smiled and bowed: "What Mr. Xiaoshan said makes sense, but "Zhou Guan" also said, 'Aspiration is the only guide for merit, diligence is the only guide for a broad career, and decisiveness is the only guide to overcoming hardships. Do not expect arrogance in position, and salary will be rewarded.

Don’t expect extravagance. Be respectful and thrifty but be virtuous. Don’t be hypocritical.”

"When you are virtuous, your mind will become restless as time goes by; when you act hypocritically, your mind will become dull over time.'"
