2208 Crab Stuffed Orange
"Idiot! Japanese little slut, do you think I'm afraid of you? Fighting..." The brainless Tsarist Russian envoy was about to jump out as he spoke, but at this time Montauban next to him stepped on him hard.
Looking at Montauban's murderous gaze, Ivan suddenly became much smarter, and he suddenly remembered the top secret information from the Moscow military headquarters.
In the intelligence from the East, such an army was recorded, which were short but strong and even harder than some Russians.
These people do not care about food and clothing, and can even use raw meat as food, which is extremely tough and hard-working.
Obedience to orders is definitely an innate talent. If the Chinese new army relies on discipline obtained by hard training and worship of the head of state, then these short soldiers are fighting based on the discipline genes passed down from their bloodlines.
These soldiers even have the power to wear swords. Only officers above the company commander have the power to wear swords. All hand-to-hand combat is accomplished by bayonets and engineer shovels.
Only these soldiers use a unique weapon called Taidao in hand-to-hand combat!
They are a unique army and foreign legion within the Chinese clan! There is also a more down-to-earth name, the sword drawing team!
When Iwan saw Hitotaro's appearance, he knew that he had encountered a tiny card. This guy must be the leader of the sword draw team. He is a natural expert in hand-to-hand combat. He may not be able to fight with him. Even if he fights with a pistol, it is very dangerous.
Well, after thinking about it, Xiao Letian is a little bullying.
"Who are you? You are not qualified to fight with me, I only recognize Xiao Letian..."
"Baga! Xiao Letian is my father. If you want to challenge my father, you have to pass my level first..."
The two of them started to squirt through the two tables. The guests present had never seen such a hot state banquet. Their eyes and expressions were extremely weird and even a little excited.
At this moment, Xiao Letian suddenly coughed softly, and Hidetaro seemed to have the mechanism on his body being touched. His face turned pale and turned his head and bowed deeply to Xiao Letian. He didn't dare to meet his father's eyes, and then sat back on the chair obediently.
Xiao Letian apologized to the queen, "I'm really sorry, I'm making you laugh. My adopted son has been used to being wild since childhood and has not received any aristocratic education. I apologize to you for him..."
I had never seen any scene before. I just nodded and swept Ivan and Montauban with my eyes. The two troublemakers on the opposite side immediately did not dare to say anything.
Prince Edward quickly stood up to smooth things over, toasted everyone with a glass of wine, and under his vigilant gaze, Montubon and Ivan sat back reluctantly.
However, when he was sitting down, Montauban whispered, "I have to give us an explanation. I want to fool you with this kind of food..."
Xiao Letian suppressed his anger and said, "Her Majesty, I really want to give you an explanation... Maybe I underestimated the differences in food culture between the East and the West, which caused this unnecessary misunderstanding..."
"I will first explain to the queen the previous dish. We Chinese call it crab orange. The English translation should mean a craft of using oranges as containers and wine to make crab meat..."
"This is a famous dish passed down from the Northern Song Dynasty, and it has a history of more than 900 years!"
With a bang, there was a low noise in the hall. This is really an ancient country with endless civilizations. A dish has a history of thousands of years, and everyone present was shocked.
Xiao Letian brought the crab-steamed orange that had been placed in the disk to the queen, and gently opened the lid to reveal the light yellow and fragrant meat soup inside.
"Her Majesty, before no one told you the raw materials for this food, how did you feel when you see him?"
"Oh... delicious, with a unique aroma that I've never experienced before. I really want to taste it...but is this really made of river crab?"
"Haha, look, if everyone reminds you, I think you have tasted such a superb delicious food at this moment. I can answer you very seriously. This is made of delicious river crabs..."
"River crabs are not the kind of small things produced in European rivers, but use a unique crab variety in Jiangnan, China, called hairy crabs. The taste and appearance are much better than European crabs..."
"This time we raised a batch of them in the freshwater cabin of the cargo ship and transported them to Europe. I think when you all here taste the deliciousness of this ingredient, these crabs will definitely be farmed!"
"Crab oranges are made of oranges! You need to choose a large yellow orange, cut off the top cover, cut off the flesh, leave some juice, fill the orange with crab paste, and cover it with the top cover with branches, put it in the steamer, steam it with wine, vinegar, and water. Dip it with vinegar and salt, it is fragrant and fresh."
"What are you worried about? Europeans refuse to eat river crabs. In fact, the key reason is that this crab is too small and difficult to scatter, and it has a rustic and fishy taste. What if our national chef can solve these two problems?"
"Dear Queen, there is a proverb in China that the first person to eat crabs must be a warrior! Are you ready to taste the delicious food now?"
The silver spoon was handed over, and Xiao Letian's expression was extremely sincere. The queen couldn't refuse at this moment. She had to take the spoon from Xiao Letian and hesitate to look at the big orange in front of her.
Everyone present was looking at the queen, especially Emperor Tongzhi and Xiao Letian, who looked at her with encouragement, which made the grandmother of the European royal family very embarrassed.
Emperor Tongzhi whispered, "Her Majesty, please believe me, you really should try it!"
Forget it, the Queen was forced to do this, so she could only grit her teeth and try it. She scooped half a tablespoon of crab roe and a mixture of crab paste, and the Queen stuffed her eyes as soon as she closed her eyes.
Bang! At that moment, the queen suddenly felt countless taste buds on her tongue explode, and a unique taste suddenly occupied all her senses.
Fresh, fragrant, sweet, soft, glutinous... The distinctive tastes blended into each other in the mouth, and the smoothness of the crab orange almost swallowed her tongue.
The queen closed her eyes and felt endlessly. At that moment, she even wanted to eat all the crab oranges on the table and eat them all by herself.
At this time, the fool could see what the queen looked like. Prince Edward around him brought him a plate of crab orange without the help of the maid.
A bite of delicious food actually brought him a happy scream, "My God! What kind of taste is this? Have I eaten trash for so many years?"
This was a sensation. All the guests present were very rude and they all started to do it themselves. They opened the lid at the top of the orange, and the spoon quickly ate the small portion of crab meat.
"Oh! My God..." Some guests were excited and their eyes were red. "What should I do? Once these Chinese guests leave Europe, will I not be able to enjoy such delicious food in my life?"
Chapter completed!
