September 18th is the Longevity Festival. It is the 50th birthday of the saint, but in the event of a national mourning, the royal family is still in the period of filial piety, so it is not appropriate to hold it.

Moreover, the country is in the process of suppressing the rebellion, and the wars in various places have just ended, and the birthday banquet will only cost the people and money.

But the birthday banquet was not held, and the officials still had to send the ceremony.

The emperor was also very humane, and ordered all Beijing officials to receive longevity rice, longevity noodles, wine, meat, etc. according to their grades, which also avoided extravagance and waste.

On that day, the palace also simply held a few family banquets, with no rituals and music, and the banquet was dismissed as soon as the time passed.

This is what Zhou Shan told them on the second day.

"I envy you for being able to eat a palace banquet. What's so delicious?"

The three brothers looked at him with admiration, they had never even been to the palace.

"Didn't you eat at the palace? It's almost all those dishes, but the taste seems to be better, right? Well, there is an extra crab. There are many rules in the palace, and dining etiquette must be maintained at all times. eat."

"Why are there still crabs? Why are those things still on the palace banquet?"

Zhou Shan explained to them, "The ones in the palace are different from the small ones we caught before. The ones we caught in the river were all shells and no meat. The ones that appeared at the palace banquet were big ones, very meaty and delicious. "

"How big is it?"

He spread his hands, "The shell on the back is probably the size of the palm of your hand."

"It's a pity, it would be nice if it could be packed! We haven't eaten anything that big."

The boss sighed, and the other two younger brothers nodded in agreement.

"Hahaha…"

Zhou Yi burst out laughing, "Thank you for thinking about it, you actually thought about going to the palace to pack!"

"It's definitely possible!"

Zhou Shan also squinted his eyes, "Have ambition!"

When they got home, they were told by their mother about the basket of crabs that Princess Xuexi ordered to send today.

The three brothers were surprised.

"Do we count as packing, haha."

"Wow, you have a good night, and there are crabs to eat."

It is really rare. She has been here for several years. She has only eaten small crabs caught by the three brothers. They are small and have no meat. They can only be fried and eaten.

"You also stay and eat together, and go back later today."

She has seen it, and there are twenty in a basket, enough for one person and two.

"No auntie, I ate crabs at the palace banquet yesterday. I heard from my mother-in-law that in a few days, the village in Huainan will send a batch of crabs quickly. She said that the crabs in Huainan are also a must. I'll bring you a basket too."

"Really, Zhou Shan is really happy now, don't forget my brother, let me touch it too, I have never eaten big crabs." Zhou Yi said with a smile.

He smiled and nodded, "Sure."

"Then I'll wait, auntie, keep it for yourself, I'll wait to eat Zhou Shan's."

Hearing their unremarkable words, Pei Xiu also smiled, "You don't have to be so polite, it's okay for one person or two, and we can't finish it all."

"You can save half for tomorrow to eat,

Crabs won't die if left for a few days. "

In this case, she didn't force it anymore, "Where's the cake, do you want it today?"

Gu\u003c/span\u003e Zhou Yi shook his head violently: "Ah, no, no, I'm afraid of eating it every day during this time. Auntie, don't give it any more. Really, I won't tell you when I want to eat it. polite."

The others also shook their heads, and they didn't want to eat either.

What a good thing, they can't bear to eat it every day. They are tired and don't want to eat any more.

Recently, the business of the cake shop has not been as good as last month and the first half of the month. Everyone has experienced the freshness and is tired of eating.

After all, it is a dessert, and it is easy to get tired.

She has already made the kitchen only produce 8,000 cupcakes a day, and the cheap cupcakes take up the bulk, and now ordinary people buy more.

She felt that it was time to introduce fruit cakes. Now that there are only autumn pears this season, it is possible to add a little more chopped almonds.

"If you want fruit cakes, you can go to the shop to make an order. It's not busy recently, and you can take an order a day!"

"Really? Let me book first, and I'll be first."

Zhou Yi had planned to go home, but the words of farewell were still on his lips, and he quickly swallowed them back.

"Aren't you tired of eating?" Zhou Shan said.

"I'm tired of ordinary cakes, but I've been looking forward to this cream cake for a month, and I have to eat it again. What's more, my family hasn't eaten it yet, and they must like it."

"Then I'll be second!"

"Then I'm third, I just want the smallest size."

Xiao Jiu shyly said that there were only his father and him in his family, and it was too big to eat. And his father will go to other state capitals to check accounts in a few days, and he doesn't know when he will come back.

The three brothers are no longer interested in any cake, they want to eat crab now.

"Go to the shop tomorrow to make a reservation."

"Auntie, we'll go back first, so we won't disturb your meal."

After they left, Pei Xiu asked Ginkgo to inform the kitchen that the crabs should not be steamed, and half of them should be kept for tomorrow.

The few of them were not in a hurry to eat, and only started when the crabs were on the table.

The three brothers have never eaten big crabs, only small crabs in the river. When I peeled off the cover, some were white paste, some were red paste, and some were puzzled.

Pei Xiu remembered that Mr. Lu Xun once praised: "The first person to eat crab is very admirable, who would dare to eat it if it is not a warrior?"

She explained to them: "There is a lid on the back, the triangular-shaped one is the male crab, the cream of the male crab is like jade, the taste is mellow, and the crab meat is tender and sweet. It's delicious, but no matter what kind of crab it is, it's absolutely delicious."

"I heard that crabs were eaten by Jiangnan people. The reason why Jiangnan people eat crabs is because there are too many crabs in the rice fields, which caused disasters. Out of hatred for crabs, farmers started to eat crabs. Like eating locusts, we northerners eat less."

The second child is hard to talk about. Usually, his eldest brother talks a lot with the third younger brother and makes jokes. He is less honest and has less sense of presence.

The third child also said: "I have also heard that a concubine of the previous dynasty was from the south and liked to eat crabs, so it was gradually eaten in the palace."

Pei Xiu nodded in agreement. She had heard everything they said.

Seeing the three of them peel off their shells and plan to bite like fried crabs, she stopped them.

"There are black things in the crab roe and crab meat. This is the crab intestine. The excrement of the crab is very dirty. It must be removed and not eaten."

He pointed to the white gills and said: "The two rows of white are its gills, which are very dirty and cannot be eaten. There is also a triangle bag in the pile of crab roe on the crab cover. This is the excrement of the crab, and it must be removed. .And here is the crab hexagonal plate, which is the coldest on the crab body and cannot be eaten."
