Chapter 150 Is this a crab?

[Recipe Description: The finest ingredients often require only the simplest cooking methods. Paired with the system's specially prepared 'Perilla and Ginger Vinegar Sauce for Warming the Body,' it removes any fishy smell, enhances the freshness, and adds a finishing touch, leaving a lingering aftertaste.]

[Additional Benefits: Strengthens the body's foundation, cleanses the marrow and removes impurities. Lingquan hairy crabs contain extremely pure aquatic energy and possess the purifying properties of spring water. Consuming them can significantly improve sub-health conditions and cleanse the body of years of accumulated toxins from smoking, alcohol, and chemical impurities!]

[System suggested retail price: 1888 yuan/piece!]

[Friendly reminder: Prices below this will severely diminish the exceptional value of Lingquan hairy crabs!]

"One thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight, one?"

Lin Fan raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at the pricing on the system panel.

Top-quality Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs on the market, especially those that are large and of excellent appearance, can often sell for several hundred or even a thousand yuan each.

And these hairy crabs of mine are true "spiritual creatures" that grew up drinking spiritual spring water and eating spiritual aquatic plants!

Not only does it weigh a good eight or nine ounces, but its plump crab roe and crab paste, which are almost bursting out of its belly, are also rare delicacies that are hard to find in the mortal world.

Add to that the incredible added benefits of "cleansing the marrow and purifying the body" and clearing away the lingering effects of smoking and drinking, let alone 1888 yuan a piece, even if it were sold for 8888 yuan, those wealthy bosses who value their health more than their lives would definitely fight tooth and nail to get their hands on it!

Lin Fan decisively issued the command in his mind:

"One-click harvest!"

"Whoosh—!"

A golden ripple spread across the pond's surface, and fifty enormous, menacing, top-quality hairy crabs instantly transformed into streaks of light and were sucked into the Heavenly Craft Workshop.

Less than two minutes.

At the finished product export point, fifty large green-backed hairy crabs, tightly bound with special herb rope and spotlessly cleaned, were neatly stacked in a constant-temperature insulated box. Each one was blowing clear bubbles, full of vitality.

Lin Fan picked up the food storage box and had a thought.

"Leave the farm."

……

8:45 a.m.

Outside the "Lin Family Shop" on Phoenix Golden Street.

Unsurprisingly, the queue today was still as long as the end of the line.

Both sides of the road were packed with top-of-the-line luxury cars such as Maybachs, Rolls-Royces, and Bentleys, so much so that traffic police had to deploy additional personnel to manage traffic on this street.

"Hey Lao Li, what brings you with those dark circles under your eyes today? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Chairman Chen, fanning himself with a folding fan, looked at Li Dayong, the mining tycoon who was standing in front of him, and jokingly said.

"Don't even mention it!" Li Dayong said, rubbing his bald head, looking impatient.

"I was so upset yesterday because I didn't manage to get Master Lin's boiled cabbage!"

"I dreamt about that scent all night, and couldn't sleep, so I had the driver bring me here at six this morning! Today, I, Old Li, must take my first blood!"

While these big shots were bragging and joking with each other...

"Splash—"

The roller shutter door of the Lin family shop was pushed up precisely on time.

Su Xiaoxiao walked out calmly, holding the "little blackboard" that countless people both loved and hated.

"Distinguished guests, Lin's Shop is now open for business."

"Whoosh!"

Hundreds of eyes in the room instantly focused on the blackboard like searchlights.

When you see the newly added line of text above.

The once bustling street fell into a deathly silence for three seconds!

【New Arrival Today: Steamed Hairy Crab Using Traditional Method (with Secret Perilla Ginger Vinegar Sauce)】

Price: 1888 yuan/piece

[Limited quantity per day: 50 pieces! One piece per person!]

"Holy crap?! 1,888... for a single crab?!"

After a brief silence, a collective gasp erupted from the crowd.

"This...this price, Boss Lin really dares to price it! At least boiled cabbage soup is made with a carefully prepared broth, but this crab is just steamed, and it's almost two thousand dollars!"

"This is insane! Even though it's crab season, you couldn't even get this price for a top-quality king crab at a five-star hotel!"

Faced with such an "exorbitant price," some new customers on the periphery began to whisper among themselves.

But Li Dayong, Chairman Chen, and other bigwigs at the very front of the line didn't even blink!

In their eyes, Lin Fan's brand is an absolute guarantee of quality! If he dares to sell it for 1888, this crab must have the magic to make people swallow their tongues!

"Assistant Su! Give me a steamed hairy crab! And a bowl of premium beef brisket noodles! I'm going to eat my fill today!"

Li Dayong, like a bear guarding its food, squeezed straight to the cashier and scanned the code to pay.

"Old Li, don't push! Leave one for me!" Chairman Chen didn't care about being refined and easygoing anymore and shouted at the top of his lungs.

The fifty slots for hairy crabs were snatched up by the group of gourmets in the front row like hungry wolves in less than five minutes!

……

Inside the kitchen.

Lin Fan remained calm. Next to the purple-gold octagonal wok, a huge [purple-gold spirit-gathering steamer] had already been set up.

Fifty premium hairy crabs, tied with fragrant rope, were neatly arranged in a steamer, belly up. On the belly of each crab was a piece of perilla leaf and a slice of ginger that Lin Fan had cut.

With the roar of the powerful stove, the temperature of the purple-gold steamer rose rapidly.

Fifteen minutes later.

Lin Fan lifted the lid of the steamer.

"boom--!!!"

The moment the lid was lifted, an intensely fresh aroma, a blend of rich crab roe fat, the delicate fragrance of perilla, and the warming spiciness of ginger, burst through the kitchen's half-glass partition like a golden tsunami, sweeping across the entire dining room!

It was a pure, sweet, and refreshing fragrance!

"Gurgle..."

In the hall, everyone swallowed in unison.

"This taste... oh my god, I feel like I've fallen into a sea of ​​crab roe!"

Qin Lang took a deep breath; his soul almost floated out of his body.

Su Xiaoxiao carried the tray and placed the first dish of steamed hairy crabs, along with a small dish of amber-colored secret-recipe perilla ginger vinegar sauce, in front of Li Dayong.

In a celadon plate.

The crab shells, originally bluish-black, have now been steamed into an extremely tempting bright orange-red.

It was as big as an adult man's palm, heavy, and exuded a fatal allure.

Li Dayong couldn't wait to untie the herb rope, and with a forceful pull, he lifted the heavy crab shell.

"hiss--!!!"

The moment the crab shell was lifted, Li Dayong and several other onlookers nearly popped their eyes out of their sockets!

Inside the crab shell, there was an abundance of incredibly rich, flowing, golden lava-like crab roe, almost overflowing!

Golden crab oil slowly dripped down the edge of the crab shell, landing on the snow-white, firm crab meat.

The plumpness and color were a million times more tempting than the best crab roe he had ever seen!

"This...this is a crab?!"
