Chapter 178 An Invitation to Eat Crabs

"Titan?" Li Yu looked at the shrimp in the sea and laughed dumbfoundedly.

Unexpectedly, one day, another creature will regard itself as the legendary Titan.

But Li Yu didn't drift at all, instead he was sober, knowing that he was far from a creature like Titan.

In ancient legends, Titans are ancient gods who appeared after the original gods.The first generation of Titans were all born of Uranus, the god of heaven, and Gaia, the god of earth, with six males and six females.According to the classical mythology system, the Titans once ruled the world before being replaced by the Olympian pantheon.

Among the Titans, the most famous twelve Titans are: Oceanus, Coos, Clios, Hyperion, Iapetus, Theia, Rhea, Themi Si, Mnemosyne, Phoebe, Thethys, Cronus.

They are the ancient gods who once ruled the world in ancient mythology. This family is the children of Uranus, the god of the sky, and Gaia, the goddess of the earth. They once ruled the world, but were overthrown and replaced by the Zeus family.

The legendary battle of the Titans refers to a war between the Titans and the Olympians in Greek mythology.

The Olympian Protoss headed by Zeus and the Titan Protoss headed by Cronus used Mount Olympus and Mount Ottery as battlefields.

The two sides fought each other, and there was no winner for ten years, until Zeus released the one-eyed god and the hundred-armed god who were imprisoned in Tartarus.

With their help, the Olympians won the final victory, and the defeated Titans were thrown into Tartarus.

Li Yu felt that these shrimps were simply too ignorant to have such a fallacy, and there was no need to care about them, they could call them whatever they wanted.

Li Yu dialed the time flow rate in the book back to the original value, that is, 1 hour in the real world is approximately equal to 1 year in the book.

Then, he withdrew his consciousness from the book world, and thought about another major event in life - what to eat for lunch?
The refrigerator is empty, and even the few packets of instant noodles are gone.

"Okay, take a shower and go out to eat something good."

Li Yu sighed softly, stroked her stubble, and walked into the bathroom.

However, when he stripped off his clothes and looked at his body in the mirror, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

The person in the mirror has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, with well-defined pectoral muscles, abdominal muscles and biceps. The muscle lines are extremely beautiful, and they are no different from professional models.

Although there is still a bit of decadence on this face that has been plagued by long illnesses, but with the more refined facial features, it also shows a unique sense of beauty.

"Is this really me?" Li Yu stroked the mirror lightly, a little in disbelief.

However, thinking of the world in the wordless book and the magical source of life, Li Yu happily accepted his change.

After grooming and shaving off the stubble on his chin, Li Yu simply put on his clothes and went out, heading straight for the snack on the east side of the town.

As soon as I went out, I ran into a large group of little girls rushing to the sea.

These local girls have been with the sea all year round, and they have seen a lot of strong winds and waves, and their tempers are more aggressive than each other.He looked at Li Yu quite boldly, without hiding his inner thoughts.

"Little brother, where are you going alone?" The leading girl greeted Li Yu with a fish basket.

Li Yu also looked at the girl, and saw that the girl looked refreshing and pleasant. Although her figure was thin, her wheat-colored skin was evenly covered with the smell of sunshine.

When working hard in the big cities before, Li Yu was used to seeing white-collar women who were as white as ghosts. Now that she happened to meet such a girl who was born in nature again, she felt like breathing fresh air, and she felt a good feeling in her heart. .

"Go ahead and eat something." Li Yu replied with a smile, and pointed to the snacks.

Unexpectedly, a large group of little girls laughed together.

Another little girl in the back row said loudly, "Oh, what's so delicious about that thing! Little brother, come with us to eat seafood!"

Li Yu, who grew up by the sea, is no stranger to catching the sea.

People living on the seaside, according to the law of tide rise and fall, catch the opportunity of tide ebb and go to the tidal flats and rocks on the coast to salvage or collect seafood, which is called catching the sea.

Li Yu looked up at the sky. The weather was good today, and it was indeed a good day to catch the sea.

Because it is generally best to catch the sea during high tides, because the sea recedes far and fast during high tides, especially shellfish and seafood.These shellfish are left on the sand or mudflats when the sea recedes.And this big tide is the best in the two days before and after the second day and the sixteenth day of each month in the lunar calendar.

Moreover, the requirements for the weather are also very high, especially when the south wind is blowing, especially the south wind and southwest wind are the best, and the wind is stronger, and the tide will recede farther than when there is no wind. many.

It is the best season when the weather changes suddenly or it blows with the northwest wind of level four to five for a few hours, and then turns to the south wind.

The fishermen in front of me are obviously not the first time to catch the sea. They have rich experience and the timing of their choices is impeccable, so the harvest is also very rich.

In addition, the beaches here are good, with both sand dunes and reefs, so there are many choices.

Because the habitats of each type of seafood are different, as far as catching the sea is concerned, generally choose places with more shell sand.If you ask the local seaside people before going to the sea, they all know where the seafood is produced.At this time, it depends on what kind of seafood you like, and then look for it according to the habitat of your favorite seafood.

The so-called catching up with the sea rice is to stew the fresh seafood of the day in a big pot, and then share it with a group of people in a big bowl. It is a routine operation of local fishermen.

"That's right, our sister Angelina is cooking today, and she cooks so deliciously."

"Come on, come on! Little brother, don't be embarrassed. We caught a lot of blue crabs today!" said a girl.

"Blue crab?" Li Yu swallowed, a little moved.

He still remembered the deliciousness of blue crabs, and indeed he hadn't eaten blue crabs for a long time.

Blue crabs, also known as yellow crabs, also known as scorpions, belong to the class Crustacea, scorpion family, common name scorpions, inhabit mud flats and shallow seas near the coast, usually enter the mud flats with the tide, and like to live in caves where fresh water flows out The place.

Blue crabs are produced all year round, but during the period from the third to the [-]rd of the eighth month of the lunar calendar every year, the shells of blue crabs are as hard as shields, and the claws are round and strong. chicken "say.

The famous poet Su Dongpo also wrote in the poem "Squat" that "half shell contains yellow, it is advisable to order wine, and two pincers chop snow to persuade you to add meals".

Food that can be praised by Su Dongpo must be extremely delicious.

Moreover, it is also recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Sturgeon is a seabed reptile with fresh white meat. It has the functions of strengthening the kidneys and waist, nourishing the heart and spleen. If combined with Codonopsis pilosula and longan, the medicinal effect will be better."

"And swimming crabs!" A girl added, continuing to lure Li Yu's gluttons.

"There are swimming crabs!" Li Yu was shocked.

Swimming crabs are commonly known as "white crabs" in some places.Because the head and breastplate is in the shape of a shuttle, it is named.There are three protrusions in the center of the carapace, so it is also called "three-spotted swimming crab", which belongs to crustaceans.

The male navel is pointed and smooth, the chela is long, and the shell surface is blue.The female umbilicus has fluff, and the shell surface is ocher or spotted.

Swimming crab meat is fat and delicious, has high nutritional value and economic value, and is suitable for temporary cultivation in seawater to increase fat.

"Is there really a swimming crab?" Li Yu was greatly moved.

The girls opened the fish basket, and there were indeed several swimming crabs crawling in the fish basket.

You should know that crabs are the most plump before and after Grain Rain. Although they can also be caught in autumn, they are not plump.

Before overwintering, the male crabs are particularly plump and fat, and there is a saying of "grain stubble male crabs".

Male crabs are commonly called "sharp navel", immature male crabs are called "cha navel", female crabs are commonly called "round navel", female crabs are preferred, and large crabs with eggs are also called "pomegranate yellow". .

Crab meat is white in color, rich in meat, tender in texture, creamy like curdled fat, and delicious in taste.

In particular, the meat of the two pincer-like chelicerae is silky and sweet, and the crab color is bright and fragrant, and it has a unique flavor when eaten, so it has a long-standing reputation and ranks first among seafood.

As Li Yu said in the Qing Dynasty, "Crabs are fresh and fat, sweet and greasy, white like jade and expensive like gold, and they have created the best of the three, and nothing can surpass them."

Every 14 grams of Portunus crab meat contains 2.6 grams of protein, [-] grams of fat and several other nutrients.The general way to eat it is to steam it, dip the meat in ginger vinegar sauce, and serve it with alcohol, which has a unique flavor.

Bai Juyi, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, once said, "The paws of bears from the land are rotten, and the claws from the crabs are from the sea." He mentioned the claws of sea crabs and bear paws together.

In addition to eating fresh, it can also be dried into crab rice, ground crab sauce, marinated whole crabs, and made into cans, etc.

Li Yu has been moved now.

As if seeing Li Yu's heartbeat, a few girls stepped forward and tugged on Li Yu's sleeves, as if they were going to drag him away in the street.

But Li Yu just thought it was a little funny, never thought that he would be openly molested by girls on the street when he was single for ten thousand years.

"Okay, okay, I'll go with you." Li Yu couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the girls, so he had to say.

After finishing speaking, he grinned at the leading girl called Sister Angelina.

As a result, Angelina, who was so generous just now, turned her head away in embarrassment.

"Wow, Sister Angelina is actually shy, that's rare!" Another girl clapped her hands and shouted.

"Fuck you!" Annoyed and ashamed, Shen Yue turned around and slapped him.

The girl dodged quickly, grimacing, and ran across the street, trying to avoid Angelina's subsequent pursuit.

But at this moment, Li Yu saw a brand new Deltervein driving fast on the originally empty avenue without cars.

The young driver in Deltervein's car was steering the wheel with one hand and holding a cell phone in the other, chatting passionately with someone on the other end of the line.

The driver had no idea that a little girl would suddenly pop out beside the curb.

"Be careful!" Li Yu shouted.

In a thousandth of a second, a network of mental power invisible to the naked eye spread out centered on Li Yu, and was accurately connected to the consciousness of the little girl and the driver of Delterveen.

"Stop for me!"

Li Yu communicated his instructions to the two at the same time through the spiritual power network.

The little girl who had already rushed out of the curb and rushed towards the tire of Deltervine suddenly felt her body stiffen and her steps started to retreat uncontrollably.

And the driver of Delterveen, who hadn't figured out the situation, was also manipulated to step on the brakes at the same time.

In the end, there was only a sound of "呲", and the Delterwein kicked up dust and passed the girl.

The girl's eyes widened, her little face turned pale with shock, and she obviously knew that she had just passed through the gate of hell.

Angelina hurried to catch up and pulled the girl into her arms, dripping cold sweat from her vest.

Li Yu also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and then untied the spiritual connection with the two.

What he did just now was completely subconscious.

But before that, he really didn't expect that the ability he obtained in the book world could not only control the creatures in the book world, but also affect the living people in the real world.

Thanks to this ability, a human tragedy was avoided today.

"Malekiss! Do you want to die? Do you want to die? Stay away! Don't dirty my car!" The driver of Delterveen rolled down the window and yelled at the girls on the street.

Angelina frowned, but she just shielded the shocked girl behind her and gritted her teeth without saying a word.

Normally, if anyone dared to scold her like that, she would definitely roll up her sleeves and do it without blinking.

But this time, Angelina understood that it was her side that was at fault, so she simply didn't make any excuses, for fear of spoiling everyone's mood.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she tolerated it, the driver in Deltervein's car yelled and scolded even more fiercely, showing all kinds of three-character scriptures, without breathing.

When has Angelina been exposed to this kind of anger, the water vapor in her eyes is hazy, and she is faintly on the verge of an explosion.

And the driver of Delterveen scolded readily, and after venting his emotions, he was ready to step on the accelerator and drive away.

But when he stepped down, he found that his two legs seemed to be frozen. No matter how hard he tried, the simple action of stepping on the gas pedal could not be completed.

"Apologize!" Li Yu walked to the side of the car, knocked on the window, and said to the driver with a frown.

"What did you say?" The driver also frowned.

Perhaps because of his immobility of his legs, the driver's tone contained a little fear.

"I want you to apologize to them." Li Yu said again.

"Why!" the driver of Delterveen yelled again, "You fucked up! It's obvious that they are looking for death! Why do you want me to apologize?"

Li Yu raised two fingers and said, "First, you're driving and talking on the phone. This is a violation of traffic regulations, and there's nothing to argue about."

"Second, you must have been speeding just now! If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance cameras at the intersection."

"So, you are also responsible for what happened just now, why do you open your mouth to curse?"

The driver of Delterveen had no intention of being reasonable. He opened his mouth, and a series of obscenities were about to come out again.

However, Li Yu looked at the driver condescendingly, and said coldly, "Just to remind you, if you still dare to swear, I will take you out of this car."

"Do you want to try?"
