After Qin Huai finished eating the crab dumplings, he realized he might have underestimated this snack a bit.
He silently ate two of the three crab dumplings he had taken and left the last one for Huang An Yao, who was asking for favors everywhere, then he said:
"Master Zheng, could you demonstrate it for me one more time?"
"No problem!" Zheng Da agreed readily.
He wasn't particularly eloquent, and his superb skills paired with a lack of words made his already seemingly ordinary process appear even less impressive. Qin Huai's understanding to just observe without asking was more than welcomed by Zheng Da, who immediately prepared to start the demonstration.
Just like the previous process: peel the live shrimp, take the meat, and mince it.
Extract the meat from the crab.
Add Shaoxing wine, salt, and other seasonings, mix evenly.
Just as Zheng Da was mixing the filling, Qin Huai inquired, "Master Zheng, how do you control the seasoning level in the filling?"
