Chapter 296

In the kingdom of atlas, cooks are a respected profession, which may also be related to the good food culture of the kingdom. Because the kingdom is located in a rich region, the rich food materials give more inspiration to the cooks in the kingdom of atlas. Compared with the pragmatic Midland Federation, the cooks here are more willing to spend their energy on cooking food.

At the moment, Lena was wearing a cook's hat and apron, just like a skilled cook. However, what he was pressing in his hand made Claire a little nervous.

Two forceps open their teeth and claws, eight legs are constantly struggling, trying to escape, blue gray shell angular, mouth also continue to spit out white bubbles.

This is a crab.

However, this is not a sea crab that Claire is familiar with. Although she has never seen a crab run, she has eaten it several times in tolena. Due to the abundant aquatic resources in the kingdom of yatras, seafood is almost a must for middle-class nobles. The crabs in the sea are very big and delicious. They are usually used to make soup or steamed, reflecting the original delicacy of the food .

Lena's hands are river crabs, which are smaller than sea crabs. There are black hairs on the pincers that are difficult to handle. Generally speaking, there is no meat. They usually don't come to the aristocracy's table as food.

Clare sat in a chair with his hands on his knees and his eyes wide open, watching Lena move.

Lena picked up a crab from a small bucket of wine, and then tied the crab tightly with a rope made of straw he didn't know where. The crab could only shake his two small eyes and begged powerlessly.

There were six crabs in a row, and Lena soon arranged them clearly.

The stove was already on fire. Lena cut a few pieces of ginger and pasted them on the crab's stomach. Then he put them into a steamer. Steamer is a kind of cooking utensil from Eastern countries. Because people in the kingdom of Atlantis like to eat steamed seafood, they usually have steamers in their kitchens.

After putting the crabs in the steamer, Lena brought another bucket.

The sound of a hard object running across the wall of the barrel made Claire feel very angry. She leaned out her head and looked into the barrel.

In the clear water, countless black creatures are trying to climb out of the bucket. They gather together and make people feel creepy.

"This, what is this?"

Clare asked grimly, not until Lena grabbed one of the buckets with the wizard's hand.

This is lobster.

To be exact, it's a tiny lobster, only about the length of its fingers. It's much smaller than those giant lobsters at the banquet. These lobsters have a bluish black shell, full of vitality, waving pincers and imposing appearance.

"This kind of creature comes from a moist half plane, belongs to the external invasive species, and is a relative of lobster in the sea. There are many in some lakes. Because it is too small and troublesome to handle, no one will eat it."

Reiner explained that it was in the thick biological atlas that he first knew that there were river crabs and crayfish in the kingdom of ATRAs. These two species invaded from the hemiplane were distributed in the rivers and lakes of the kingdom of ATRAs. In the past, they were basically recorded as harmful to fisheries.

When he went to buy these crabs and lobsters, the fisherman who sold them to him was very confused. He didn't know what the noble young master wanted to do with these ubiquitous things.

Crayfish have a strong survival ability, which can almost be called cockroaches in the water. Therefore, most of the crayfish shells are extremely dirty. Lena is only glad that the world's industry is not too developed, so he doesn't have to worry about excessive heavy metals when eating crayfish.

Turn on the faucet above the sink, and then Lena grabs the crayfish with the master's hand, and uses a brush to wash the crayfish rapidly in mid air. These poor animals don't know what's going on, they just feel the dirt on their bodies is removed instantly, and they are refreshed.

But before the crayfish enjoyed the clean feeling, the blade of the master's hand had cut the body of the crayfish, removed the shrimp thread and inedible viscera, and threw them into the basin.

After that, Lena uses the magic to cut the vegetables and starts to heat the pot on the other side.

The convenience of magic allows him to deal with all the food materials in a short time without dirtying his hands. Moreover, it is different from the soulless food materials cut by machines. These are all hand-made!

When the pot is about 50% hot, Lena adds a large amount of rapeseed oil, which almost submerges one third of the pot. The thick oil forms a small lake in the pot. Lena shakes the bottom slightly to make the oil evenly spread on the edge of the pot.

When the oil temperature rises, Lena pours the oil away again. In the words of big eaters, this is called a wide greasy pan. The purpose is to keep the oil at a relatively low temperature while making the pan hot. The ingredients are not easy to overheat and scorch.

Next, Lena poured in a little new oil, cut garlic and ginger stir fry, then put lobster in stir fry, add several different kinds of pepper, then add a lot of malt beer, cover the pot.

On the other hand, Lena cut the remaining ginger into minced ginger, mixed it into a sauce with a sauce similar to vinegar, and put it in a bowl.Claire watched in a daze at the operation of Lena. These cooking skills, which Claire had never heard of, were quite different from the common means in the kingdom of yatras. There was a delicate feeling in the opening and closing.

Soon, Claire smelled a smell, which was different from the smell of the usual stewed meat. It was more exciting, more spicy, but also more attractive, which made Claire swallow.

After a while, the food finally came out of the pot. Lena used a large plate with a certain depth to hold the crayfish, and the other plate was six crabs, which was carried to the small table in front of Claire.

"Is this really edible?"

Clare asked. She had never eaten either, but the smell from her nose made her fingers move and she couldn't wait to try.

"Of course, you can see, if you eat a crab, you can eat it like this..."

Lena picked up a ripe crab from among the mages, untied the straw rope around the crab, lifted the crab's shell, and then revealed the full crab yolk.

This season is just when the female crab is the fattest and the male crab is growing up. Claire looks at the golden crab yolk, stares at Lena, dips it in the vinegar, and then puts it on the plate in front of him.

"Try it."

Said Lena, motioning to Claire to enjoy.

Claire looks at the large piece of crab roe on her plate. She picks up the fork and puts it into her mouth.

The delicious and fragrant taste infiltrates the mouth, with crab vinegar, with a trace of sweetness. Claire has never eaten this kind of food, and she can't stop chewing. The whole person is like a cat eating delicious dried fish, in an extremely excited state.

"This, this is so delicious. Why did I eat other crabs and never eat this before? Was it hidden by the chefs? What the hell is this? "

There is no crab roe or paste in the sea crab. Most of the time, it is discarded or boiled in the soup. Claire's only experience of eating crab is not enough to meet this kind of crab roe.

"It's called crab roe."

Reiner thought for a moment before answering in common language.

"It's the ovaries of crabs. It's the organs of crabs that give birth to babies."

Hearing Lena's reply, Claire suddenly stopped eating crab roe.
