Gourmet Food Supplier

on the sea’s horizon, beautiful and appetizing.

“Not bad,” Zhou Shijie said.

“Indeed,” said Zhang Yan.

“The quality of the Dungeness Crabs are that good? To the point the meat is all white jade in color?” asked Wang Xiang.

“I guess so? But something feels different?” Bai Xiaoxiao hesitated as he did not know how to cook, even if he was the supplier of these crabs.

“We’ll know after eating,” said Wang Xiang.
Then, he shifted his gaze at Zhou Shijie and waited expectantly for Zhou Shijie to start eating.

After all, this was a match and Zhou Shijie and Zhang Yan were the head judges.
And of the two, Zhou Shijie had the higher status.
Thus, he would be the first to eat each time.

Both Wang Xiang and Bai Xiaoxiao took great care to adhere to this unspoken etiquette.

Even when they were eating the Eight Clawed Flaming Mountain earlier, Zhou Shijie was the one to prod the tentacles, causing the “mountain” to be set aflame before everyone started eating.

“Ok, let’s start,” said Zhou Shijie as he reached out with his chopsticks.

Initially, Zhou Shijie thought that the crab meat would be hard to pick up since it had been made into the form of a dumpling, yet he found that the dumpling’s texture was similar to tofu and he could easily pick up a piece of it with his chopsticks.

Even after picking up a piece off the dumpling, the dumpling still looked intact with the meat all still joined together.
The only change was the missing piece that had been picked off.

“In the food industry, there is a popular belief that seawater crabs are incomparable to river crabs, river crabs are incomparable to Potamidae crabs, while Potamidae crabs are incomparable to lake crabs.
Therefore, I am curious how this seawater crab that is the last on the list will taste like,” said Wang Xiang expectantly.

“True.
Lake crabs do not need any salt or vinegar for it to be rich with flavors.
But seawater crabs have a natural type of fishy scent, with comparatively rougher meat as well,” said Zhang Yan with a nod before he reached out with his chopsticks as well.

“With these comments by you guys, I will have a hard time selling my crabs in the future,” said Bai Xiaoxiao helplessly.

“Is that even a concern for you? Forget it, let’s start eating,” said Wang Xiang with a smile.

It was natural for them to have so many things to say about crabs.
Crabs have always been a widely loved food since ancient times.
Examples of crab lovers were Liu Chengxun of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Bi Zhuo of Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Li Yu of Late Ming and Early Qing Dynasties.
Li Yu was known to be crazy over crabs and considered crabs as an extension of his life.
From this, it was obvious how tasty crabs were.
Then again, to be precise, all these historical figures loved lake crabs.

Yet, Yuan Zhou made this dish with seawater crabs.
Therefore, one could say that he was using a different ingredient.

Wang Xiang was good at making lobsters, also a seawater organism.
He was very clear on how difficult it could be cooking these shelled seawater organisms.

He directly stuffed the tofu-like crab meat into his mouth.

In truth, this was not the perfect season to eat Dungeness Crabs.
December was the best month to eat these crabs.

Therefore, Wang Xiang had a lower expectation, yet he found that he had been greatly mistaken the moment the crab entered his mouth.

“This? This taste?” Wang Xiang’s eyes went wide in disbelief.

The meat felt like tender tofu, yet the moment he stuffed the meat into his mouth, it dissolved into strains of meat immediately.
On top of that, it was incredibly chewy.

Since the meat was made into a form of dumpling, the sweet natural flavor of the meat was preserved, causing the meat to be extremely rich in flavor upon chewing.

With each chew, one felt like this crab was actually being eaten in the right season for it, the flavor in perfect harmony.

After Wang Xiang chewed on it, he discovered that there was a tiny amount of roe within as well.
The roe had been extracted and perfectly blended with the meat.
The roe and meat rolled around his tongue, contrasting each other yet fused perfectly at the same time, complementing each other.

“Wu, delicious,” Wang Xiang lamented inwardly.
He reached out again, aiming for the part soaked within the gravy this time.

When he picked up the part there, he found that the meat had a faint reddish color, as if it was a precious stone wrapped by a layer of red sand.

Resting on the brown chopsticks, the combination looked incredibly beautiful.
