"Shaobao, how is this crab soft?"
Li Chengqian squatted under the courtyard, looked at the crab in the basin, and reached out to poke it with great curiosity.
But this crab was different from the crabs he had seen before, these domineering guys had soft bodies.
The shell is soft, the feet are soft, and the whole body is soft.
Li Chaotou didn't reply, "It's really rare and weird, this is what the crab looks like after it has shed its shell." ” "Crabs will also shed their shells," Li Chengqian asked in surprise.
"A lot of animals will shed their shells and skin, like snakes, like shrimps, and like this crab."
"Ah, I really didn't know that."
Li Chao said to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, our prince's education is still lacking, we should add a nature lesson to the prince, and teach the prince a common sense of life, some biogeography and nature knowledge."
Otherwise, you can't even distinguish between leeks and wheat seedlings, and you can't recognize eels and snakes. ” Just now, Li Chengqian recognized the yellow eel as a snake, and he was so frightened that he desperately retreated.
"What Wen Yuan said makes a lot of sense."
Li Shimin washed the mud off his body, changed his robe, and regained the majesty of the emperor.
"Is this just a soft-footed crab?"
asked the eldest grandson Wuji on the side with a smile.
"Sort of."
Li Chao replied.
"Can you eat this soft-footed crab too" The eldest grandson Wuji is also a foodie, and he was also curious to see a pot of soft-footed crabs brought by Li Chao.
"It's edible, and it's delicious."
Crabs will shed their shells, and it is said that they will go through thirteen times in their lives, and each time they grow up, it is like a new beginning.
And the most amazing thing about the crab shelling is that when they shed their shells, they will also take off the gills, food sacs, and internal organs together, so that there is no trace of dirt on the whole body after the shelling.
After the shelling of the crab, the whole body is soft, but what is even more amazing is that this soft state only lasts for a few hours.
After a few hours, the crab comes into contact with the water and slowly hardens.
Li Chengqian grabbed a crab and found that the crab didn't hurt him at all.
With a slight pull, a crab claw was torn off, and white slurry water like rice milk flowed out of the surface.
"Wei Gong, this kind of soft-shell crab is a rare delicacy, it can be eaten all over the body, and it is delicious to eat directly steamed or fried."
If Li Chao weren't the No. 1 landlord in Bashang, it would be very difficult to eat a large plate of soft-shell crabs.
Because this kind of soft-shell crab will harden in half a day after shedding its shell.
This is the Li family's farmers who knew that Li Chao wanted to use soft-shell crabs to entertain guests, so they deliberately launched a search in the field together, and caught almost all the soft-shell crabs that had just faded.
"Then I really haven't eaten this kind of soft-footed crab, and I must pay for it today."
Li Shimin also said that he wanted to try it, and he heard Li Chao boast so much.
Li Chao took matters into his own hands.
Clean the soft-footed crab first and steam it in a steamer.
After steaming, it is hung with a paste made of starch and eggs and fried.
This method is also known as crisp frying.
When the oil is hot, put the batter on the crab and fry it until golden brown.
Drain the oil.
Li Chengqian watched the whole process, swallowed his saliva and couldn't take his eyes off it.
Li Shimin on the other side also turned his gaze from time to time.
After it cooled a little, Li Chao directly grabbed a golden crispy fried soft-shell crab and bit it down.
Aromatic and crispy.
Crunchy, chicken-flavored As soon as Li Chengqian saw that Li Chao had eaten one first, he immediately unceremoniously reached out and grabbed one, and also took a bite.
Quack It's crispy, it's crispy.
"Delicious" Li Chengqian only said two words This kid has the potential to become a new generation of foodies Li Chao brought the plate to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty will compensate." ” Li Chao was also the first to eat crabs, and seeing that Li Chao and Li Chengqian were so happy to eat, Li Shimin reached out and took one.
The soft-footed crab has been fried golden brown and crispy.
I pulled off a crab leg and put it in my mouth to bite it, and it crunched, and it was really delicious.
Li Shimin gave a thumbs up.

"Mowgli, Xuanling, you also eat, it's really good."
Li Shimin strongly recommends.
One for each prime minister.
"I've eaten steamed crabs before, they are all big crabs in the lake, I can't imagine that this kind of soft crab, this crispy frying method, is also delicious."
"Well, it's a rare soft-shell crab."
Li Chao had already eaten one, and immediately took the second one, Li Chengqian was not to be outdone, this kid is smart, take two at a time, eat one, and occupy one in his hand.
"Your Majesty, this soft-shell crab also has a lot of health care functions, children can eat it can promote growth and development and grow intelligence, and adults can also prevent obesity if they eat it.
This obesity is actually a disease, especially for middle-aged and elderly people, after obesity, it will be easy to develop many diseases, therefore, after middle age, you have to pay attention to body obesity, if you are too fat, you have to lose weight, otherwise, all kinds of diseases are easy to occur. ” Among several prime ministers, Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda are older, and they have high status and good conditions, one is the prince of Xiliang when they were young, and the other is the prince of Nanchen, and now they are both prime ministers, and they are also pampered, plus they are civil officials, and they don't have so much time to exercise.
"Wen Yuan, do you think we are fat," Xiao Yu asked.
People generally call fat fat, that is because ordinary people have no conditions to be fat.
Heavy physical strength, plus nutrition can not keep up, so there are no fat people among the poor at all.
Only those who are rich and powerful will have fat people, live well, work less, and grow white and fat, so the people envy that obesity is only available to the rich and noble, and fat is called fortune.
However, Li Chao clearly knows that obesity can easily cause three highs, diabetes, etc., and today's people do call diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure and hyperlipidemia as wealth diseases.
Diabetes is called thirst-quenching disease at the moment, and there is no cure, most of them are still caused by the wealthy.
Many people get these diseases because of obesity.
Fortune, wealth and illness, these are not good things.
"Xiao Xiang, Chen Xiang, you have to strengthen your exercise in the future, and you have to pay attention to a healthy diet.
For example, this crispy crab, you will have to eat less in the future.
Eat more light food, less wine and meat, and especially less oil.
Of course, the most important thing is to exercise, even if you are busy, you have to take time to practice your body, so that you will naturally be healthy and live a long life. ” Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda listened, looking at the crab in their hands, very reluctant.
Li Shimin grabbed another one by the way to eat, he was still young, in his twenties, he had lived on a horse for many years, and his body was the strongest time.
The eldest grandson Wuji also grabbed another one, "I'm in good health, don't worry about this, I'll eat another one for Xiao Xiang." ” Fang Xuanling also smiled, "I'll also eat another one for Chen Xiang." ” When the prince saw it, he immediately reached out to grab it again.
As a result, only the last one was left in the plate, and Li Shimin and Li Chengqian's hands touched together.
Li Chengqian saw that it was his father, and he was a little unwilling.
Li Shimin's hand did not retract, and he squinted at Li Chengqian.
Father and son froze there.
Li Chao smiled and said, "Prince, have you forgotten the story of Kong Rong's pear?"
The prince reluctantly withdrew his hand.
Li Shimin picked up the crab with great satisfaction, and then ripped off a crab claw and handed it to Cheng Qian.
"Cheng Qian, worthy of being my prince, with filial piety, come, this big tong is given to you" "Well, it's delicious.
Wen Yuan, go back and let someone catch some of this crab and send it to the palace, so that the emperor and the queen can also pay for it. ” There are not many soft-shell crabs, but there are still a lot of small crabs in the field, this kind of crab is not as big as the lake, but in fact, it is not bad to raise one, fried and eat, and it is also good, chew it together with the shell, and supplement calcium.
Of course, millet shrimp is more delicious, a small one, cyan translucent, fried directly, that is called a fresh.
Stir-fried eel segments, grilled rice fish Simple but very delicious, a few slices of iced watermelon after the meal, refreshing.
"Wen Yuan, I didn't expect that your fertilizer could increase the yield of the field so much."
"It's not just a fertilizer, planting rice, water retention is the first key, and then it has to be fertilized, and the other is good management.
The rice here is basically intensively cultivated, as in the past, extensive cultivation is not possible, this kind of intensive cultivation, a small family, a monogamous family with a few children, can only cultivate ten acres of land, no more can be cultivated.
You have to spend a lot of energy in the field, fertilizing, retaining water, weeding, and so on. ” Fang Xuanling said on the side, "But your harvest is also high."
Although the manpower consumption is large, and the fertilizer also has to increase the cost, but in the end one mu can produce five stones, if you add the income from planting soybeans and rape and fish farming, this year, even if a family only guards the ten acres of land, but the harvest is very good. ” The original kind of extensive farming, although a family cultivates 100 acres of land.
However, because of the lack of fertility, a hundred acres of land had to be cultivated in rotation, and the land was divided into three plots, one in rotation every year.
Ploughing for two years and taking off for one year, in fact, 100 acres is equal to only 60 or 70 acres of land.
And because of the lack of fertility, it is impossible to plant three crops in three seasons, at most one acre of corn and one season of soybeans or radishes, and the harvest is far inferior to the Li family.
A better kind of land, one that can harvest two or three stones of corn, is very good.
In general, even one stone per mu can be harvested, or even seven or eight buckets.
This means that if it is just an ordinary field, that kind of year, the grain is only sixty or seventy stones.
The Li family's household, on the other hand, only cultivates ten acres of land, and harvests fifty stone of grain a year, not counting the harvest of soybeans, rapeseed and fish.

In this way, planting 100 acres of land is actually about the same as planting 10 acres of land That's pretty amazing.
For the imperial court, this is even more incredible.
The ideal of the imperial court is one hundred acres, but in fact it is less than this number, because the fields are always insufficient, especially in the narrow villages.
And the further back you go, the less the fields are, and the more difficult it is to equalize.
The Juntian system is the core foundation of the Tang Dynasty, without land, other rent and tax systems, government and military systems, are difficult to support.
If a family increases the yield of the field through intensive cultivation, improved seeds, and increased fertility, then the imperial court can harvest more grain in the same field.
It is even possible to reduce the amount of land equally, and the harvest of the common people will not be affected, nor will the taxes of the imperial court be affected.
In general, Li Chao's intensive cultivation model will completely break the cultivation model of the past, which is actually the land in the world has not increased, but the grain production has greatly increased, and more people can be fed.
This is equivalent to the new increase of several times the arable land of the imperial court. can feed, several times the population.
This is a fact that deeply shocked the prime ministers and Li Shimin.
"Wenyuan, you go back and write a detailed excerpt, and talk about how to intensively cultivate, improve the fertility of the field, and increase grain production."
