Chapter 59 - Crab Butter Noodles

In the Northern Secret Realm, the land of ice and snow.

The ice condensed in the north is often more than a hundred years old. Therefore, it is different from the cold winter in the mortal world. If a person's cultivation base is slightly weaker, they will tremble. Below the Foundation Building stage, their hands and feet will be stiff.

At this moment, Su Yu is holding the encyclopedia of the northern monsters in one hand and looking at the map of the secret realm in the other. She is comparing the two.

She also softly mentioned to her deputies. "What are the taboos and special preferences of the guests? We must ask them clearly in advance so as not to disappoint the guests halfway."

Yu Dong and others understood immediately. "Yes, Senior Sister."

"During the service process, we should also pay attention to the customer's experience and emotions in real-time."

After she finished speaking, she handed over the secret realm map, that the first three teams of Nanxun had already explored, to Yu Dong.

Now everyone was moving.

Immediately, they set up a small table for guests to answer questions and consult.

"What is Nanxun doing? It seems very interesting."

"Including food, bag, magic treasure, experience... with epiphany? Do you believe it or not? I don't believe it anyway."

"Hahaha, I was lining up anyway. Just to ask."

There are several teams at the gate of the secret realm.

Tiansheng Sect's Mutual Aid group has seven teams, as well as other sects' group. Now northern disciples are lining up outside.

Everyone was bored and idle. A few guests curiously gathered around the consultation table of Nanxun.

But when they got closer, everyone felt they were deceived.

"Dude, you just condensed your golden core?"

The one who distributed the flyers, no, Yu Dong, who was holding an abacus and shouting a sky-high asking price of 199999, was only a golden core for one day.

Their whole body felt a little floating.

"Did you just break through the golden core in our northern border? I participate every year in the mutual assistance of the secret realm, and I haven't seen a Foundation-Building disciple come. I said before that Nanxun was defeated, and people still don't believe it... "

Not only Yu Dong, but Hang Wan'er is also only a golden core for a day.

Lu Yizhou and Yan Yan are still behind. Both of them are still in the Foundation Building.

Everyone just looked and felt the golden core in their belly hurt.

A bunch of northern cultivators in their Golden Core stage is following a group of disciples who is only in Foundation Building and freshly minted Golden Core to practice. Oh, can the golden core in their bellies be preserved? If they don't donate it to the monsters, they will collectively go to the southern border as a group.

It's really bullying.

The northern cultivator leader, who is in the late stage of Golden Core and brought his junior brothers and sisters to practice, was really speechless. "You don't have many elites in Nanxun, so don't come here. If you insist on coming to my northern realm to lead people, isn't that lying to children?"

This man was wearing light armor made of silver silk. The big sword in his hand was covered in ice.

His left eyebrow seemed broken in two, but upon closer inspection, a piece of ice was in the middle, splitting his eyebrow into two.

He is obviously from Bingling Sect.

"Did you look down on us for being light in the experience? If you have an accident or disaster, you won't blame our northern people, right?"

When the rest of the northern people heard this, they all stepped back in horror.

Their retreat was incredibly fast.

Then they saw the woman in a yellow dress sitting behind Yu Dong and others.

In the ice and snow, there is a vast expanse of white. Her dress is like a dazzling star. Her thin silk sleeves drop down, revealing her snow-white wrist. Her slender fingers are looking at the encyclopedia of monsters in the north.

'She is cramming!'

For any big sects, as soon as they get started with cultivation, the first thing is to learn the encyclopedia of monsters so they know how to deal with danger in the future.

Yu Dong smiled and showed a respectful look. He introduced Su Yu. "This is our senior sister and the principal of our second team."

Everyone from the North: ...

Their golden core is even more painful than before.

But as soon as Yu Dong stepped aside, they saw her clearly.

With white teeth and crescent eyebrows, she looked indifferent but unexpectedly bright.

The point is - she is also just getting started?

The crowd sighed.

"If you only need the 1999 Spirit Stone, I will go with you."

"You look good, and you can be my junior sister with your age. But you are only at the start of Golden Core. You come to the secret realm to help me, someone at the late stage of Golden Core. Nanxun, listen to me, thank you..."

Su Yu: "..."

Fortunately, Ruo Meng and Chang Qing, who went to the secret realm to explore the way, and the bear cub, who were bored for too long and couldn't help but run out as soon as they came out, came back at this moment.

The bear cub rolls directly in front of Su Yu. Its bear's paw drags a frozen fish to her.

It wants her to cook it!

Su Yu stretched out her hand and patted its bulging belly. She directly put the ice fish into the storage bag between its neck. "We'll use it for lunch."

The bear fell down with a groan.

The northland cultivator, with a split eyebrow, suddenly stiffened.

'It turns out that there are still two other golden cores and a third-grade high-grade monster!'

Everyone shut up.

It is indeed possible for this group to go into the secret realm.

"Sorry, so you are the beastmaster. I was impolite."

Brother Split Eyebrow apologized immediately, but soon he also offered sincere advice.

"However, listen to my advice. Your single charge of 190,000 spirit stones is too expensive. Even if you give spirit treasures, it does not necessarily match our practice. It is difficult to wait for the right one. Other sects only need a thousand spirit stones per trip."

"If you continue like this, I'm afraid you won't get anything today."

Su Yu nodded. When opening the door to do business, she welcomed suggestions.

However, this is a question about market positioning.

"Sorry, fellow Taoist," Su Yu smiled at him. "Because we're only here for a few days, we can't offer a variety of packages in the north for you to choose from. Currently, there is only one package. The number of packaged services is also extremely limited."

"If you hesitate, you can reconsider."

Split Eyebrow cultivator: "..."

He didn't hesitate.

With 190,000 spirit stones, he can customize a third-grade magic weapon.

"It's okay," Su Yu relieved. "It's a pity that we passed by fellow Daoists this time. If there is a fate, we can meet again next time."

The split eyebrow cultivator touched his nose embarrassedly.

His Bingling Sect did not need such a big deal.

It's no use even if they meet again.

But just as he was about to turn around, he heard a few snubs. No, a few northern disciples exclaimed.

"Fate? Are they from the legendary second floor of Nanxun Shop?"

"Hey, I think the word 'fate' is familiar to me. So it turns out that you also heard about the second floor of Nanxun!?"

The split eyebrow cultivator is in a daze.

Behind him stood a little girl with long braids in an ice lace dress. Her brows and eyes were like crescent moons. In her hand was a nine-section ice whip that was bent several times. She walked out of her group with a smile.

"Could it be that you are the people who let Xue Ning bear a debt and had to sell herself? Aren't you from the second floor of Nanxun?"

She is not tall, and she looks three points shorter than others. The tip of her nose is flickering like snowflakes, but her eyes light up when she looks at Su Yu and others.

Hang Wan'er beside Su Yu nodded.

"Third Senior Brother!" The little girl with long braids immediately looked at the split eyebrow cultivator excitedly. "I'll go with them. You go to Tiansheng Sect to line up."

Split Eyebrow: "?"

"Little Junior Sister, although you have inherited a lot of spirit stones..."

But she had already walked in front of Su Yu. The tip of her nose flashed as she spoke, "I am Wei Shuang, the last core disciple of the Bingling sect. My other senior sister and I are enough for two people. Is that okay?"

Immediately, she paid Yu Dong spiritual stones for two people.

Su Yu finally closed the encyclopedia of monsters, smiled, and got up. "Okay, it's fate to meet you. Let's go."

Yu Dong immediately put a wooden sign on the table - Nanxun Second Team is closed.

Split Eyebrow cultivator: …

Several icicles are standing at the entrance of the secret realm, and it is a white land where ever you see it.

Su Yu walked at the end of the group with her hands behind her back.

Hang Wan'er is already consulting with guests. "Junior Sister Wei Shuang and Junior Sister Ling Shuang, what specific needs do you have today?"

A hint of gratitude flashed in Wei Shuang's slightly frosty, crescent-like eyes.

She has no needs. She just wants to thank Nanxun's second-floor group.

She and Xue Ning joined Bingling Sect and Shuilingmen, respectively. They became the youngest junior sister among the core disciples.

Later, they meet everywhere in the north.

Every time she freezes water into ice, Xuening turns it into water.

Every time Xue Ning condenses water, she freezes it into ice.

Their skills and cultivation levels are similar.

Love and hate each other... No, only hate each other.

This time, Xue Ning, took the lead in breaking through to the fourth level of the Water Spirit Cultivation Technique. As a result, she was subdued by the second floor of Nanxun!

Wei Shuang was glad!

The second floor of Nanxun let Xue Ning work for 30 days. Xue Ning's enemy is Wei Shuang's friend!

Wei Shuang admires Su Yu, who wears a yellow dress and stands with her hands behind her back.

"Senior Sister of Nanxun, your third-rank bear is very powerful. It's no problem to practice in the secret realm."

Wei Shuang admires her. The little ice flowers on her face are shining.

"But you don't need to care about my senior sister and me. Our Bingling Sect's practice is very special."

In the secret realm, only Tiansheng Sect can help them.

Wei Shuang looked at each of them with a smile. "We are here this time just because we are admiring the second floor of Nanxun and want to make friends with you."

"Your cultivation techniques are special. Could it be that you are cultivating the ice soul element of the Bingling Sect?" Yu Dong had a wide range of friends and immediately thought of it.

Wei Shuang glanced at him unexpectedly and said with a smile, "That's right. It's best if this senior brother knows. Don't misunderstand us. Cultivating the ice soul element soul makes us feel particularly comfortable in the frozen secret realm of the North as if this is the place of our origin."

As a result, they have no sense of crisis in this secret realm.

"When Senior sister and I are here, we can only exert 30 or 40% of the strengths of our techniques."

As Wei Shuang said this, the senior sister beside her also looked helpless.

Because once the golden core in their body reaches the frozen secret realm, it is like returning to their hometown. They completely fell into hibernation. The golden core is at least twice as slow as they are in the Bingling Sect.

Many of the disciples of the Bingling Sect who practiced this technique were still smiling when they were killed by monsters in the secret realm.

As if dangerous monsters can't make them react before they die.

This slackness is tragic, but they cannot control it. Because it is not the relaxation of their consciousness but the slackness of their golden cores relying on the ice-type spiritual roots and ice-type exercises.

They are anxious, but they just can't wake up from hibernation!

"Then when you are practicing in the north," Hang Wan'er stared, "isn't it equivalent to cutting off your own arm?"

She has never been to the North. This was the first time she had heard about it.

Wei Shuang touched the ice on the tip of her nose and smiled bitterly. "Yes. But if we go to the South, the improvement of our cultivation will become slow."

Ice elemental souls cultivate very fast in the cold land of the North, so they are all in the middle stage of Golden Core.

But there are pros and cons to any cultivation technique. Heaven also restricts them when they kill ice and snow monsters in the north.

They will not be able to overcome hibernation until they reach the fourth level of spiritual comprehension.

'Really...'

Hang Wan'er felt that it was unbelievable. "At the time of life and death, if you don't make a breakthrough, you can't wake up your golden core?"

"Yeah," the senior sister beside Wei Shuang chuckled, "It's not impossible until we break through. We just need to be attacked by ice monsters close to our cultivation level. Our golden core can be awakened immediately and burst into 120% strength of usual."

But she quickly smiled wryly, "If we are unlucky and hit with a single blow, we may be seriously injured or die."

Su Yu's eyebrows twitched.

This technique is too brutal.

Wei Shuang looked at Su Yu regretfully. "I admire the style of the second floor of Nanxun. I want to practice with you, but it's too difficult. Only Tiansheng Sect's lucky charm can allow us to encounter a monster close to our own cultivation base and be attacked by it without hurting our vital point."

Her sister nodded instantly.

But halfway through, Su Yu took out a double-eared wok from her storage bag.

Not only that, but she also took out a steaming big soup pot and placed it on the snow.

"I probably know," Su Yu smiled at Wei Shuang. "Then, guests, please take a seat first, and give us time for a cup of tea."

Wei Shuang: "?"

When she was at a loss, a spirit fire burned the soup pot, and an attractive mellow and umami flavor slowly emerged.

After smelling it, her sea of consciousness trembled slightly.

"Wait, this will attract monsters..." Wei Shuang hurriedly stopped her.

But it's too late!

The fragrance wafts far away. The monsters have a keen sense of smell, and they had walked about three miles into the secret realm before they spoke. Now they are standing at the dividing point between the second-grade monster and the third-grade monster.

In the snow, the rustling sound of monster skins brushing across the ice and snow suddenly sounded. At least a dozen or so, from far and near where they stood.

The breeze blew flying shards of broken ice, which smelled stinky, dank, and cold.

This is the aura of ice monsters.

"Get out of here! We're going to be surrounded by monsters!" Wei Shuang's face turned pale.

As soon as she finished speaking, several snow cockroaches, ice leeches, ice snakes, ice ducks, four-horned cold crystal cows... crawling or roaring, appeared in her field of vision.

There are a lot of second-grade monsters and more third-grade monsters!

Wei Shuang gritted her teeth, lowered her head quickly, and took out a defensive magic weapon from her spatial storage bag and distributed it to the senior sister beside her.

She turned around, not forgetting the people of Nanxun.

However, when she turned, several jade white and silver threads like dragon whiskers were in front of her, following the wind. It spread like the milky way following the pulling movements between the slender fingers that dazzled her eyes.

During the pulling, this silver wire can actually be stretched infinitely. It was white as snow. One inch long, two inches long... Each root is distinct, as if carved out of a mold.

Su Yu flicked her wrist lightly as if she had no strength. However, this group of dozens of jade white dragon beard noodles was thrown into the cauldron where spiritual water was already boiling.

"Okay." Su Yu nodded.

Hang Wan'er immediately threw out a restriction to seal off the aroma.

"Roar-"

The encircling monster is approaching in an instant.

Wei Shuang exclaimed, "What are you doing, put up your defense—"

But in an instant, she saw dozens of silver and white treasures light rising from the boiling iron pot in front of Su Yu, following her pair of long chopsticks.

Suddenly, silver threads like dragon whiskers shoot out in all directions like shooting stars!

The Nanxun group's Qiankun ruler, red silk, flying sword, and parrot contract beasts all flew up. They immediately hooked on one end of the silver wire and retreated in all directions.

They flew at the edge of the restriction, behind the back of the beasts rushing over. The silver wires wrapped around their necks and tied them with a beautiful knot.

In an instant, these jade ropes choked the throats of the ice spirit monsters.

Wei Shuang and her sister: ...

The ice monsters struggled for a while and tried to charge at them, but Su Yu grabbed the other end of the silver thread rope and sat on her second-grade magic handkerchief.

In an instant, it rose to a height of more than 30 feet, dragging the snow cockroaches, ice leeches, ice snakes, ice ducks, and four-horned cold crystal cows into the air.

And Su Yu's smile.

"Guest, which one do you like? Oh, I mean, which one is similar to your cultivation."

Yan Yan's thirty-six flying swords lifted off.

Su Yu bowed her head and tied the rope ends to the swords one by one seriously.

In an instant, these monsters, who were still alive but couldn't break free, passed by one by one in front of Wei Shuang and Ling Shuang like a rotating sushi conveyor belt.

Wei Shuang: "..."

"Uh, it's probably this one. The mid-grade four-horned cold crystal cow is the closest to the cultivation of the two of us. It can stimulate our... sleeping golden core's power..."

Yu Dong held his compass and immediately pinched his fingers. "Sixth Junior Brother, come a little closer. Five feet to the left. Down one foot and two feet right."

Yan Yan's flying sword moved up and down like a claw machine.

In an instant, the four hoofs of the angry four-horned cold crystal bull trampled at a low altitude. It condensed an ice sword, which stabbed towards the right shoulder of Wei Shuang.

She was almost daydreaming when she felt cold on her right shoulder.

It was neither light nor heavy, like an ice cube thrown on her shoulders. It can't do any damage to her at all, let alone a fatal injury.

But in the end, for a moment, the golden core in her body seemed to be provoked by the attack of the four-horned cold crystal cow. She immediately woke up and ran at high speed!

Wei Shuang: ...

"How about this? Guest, can you adjust?" Yu Dong smiled, "If you feel pain, be sure to tell me."

Wei Shuang: "...!"

What to adjust, she is already at 120%!

With a slap, the nine-section whip in her hand was injected with provocative anger. It became three times its size, thrown to the four-horned cold crystal cow!

The cold crystal bull went to the cows' promised land in one breath.

'Ah.'

Wei Shuang's right hand trembled.

Such a feeling... it was silky and fun.

It is faster and safer than following Tiansheng Sect.

With such a 199999 package, she can come again and again for a whole year.

The senior sister beside her also experienced the joy of Master Su's doll machine.

Soon, they are all in 120%.

Each time they triggered this peak state, it could only last for two hours.

But at this moment, they don't have to waste time going to the depths of the secret realm to find monsters. They only choose the monsters already hanging in the air.

Efficient and targeted.

"I've beaten a cow. Otherwise, Miss Nanxun, I'll beat another ice duck."

"I feel that I have mastered the weakness of this ice duck. Change to a snake. Let's put three together this time. My sister and I seem to be able to do it!"

The 120% duo happily choose.

Then they gradually increase the difficulty of the challenge.

Whatever they chose, in mid-air, the dragon whiskers and silver silk ropes around the necks of the selected monsters stretched. The monsters landed as many as they wanted, rushing towards them.

'Experience!'

'Practice!'

The two had a great time.

Once they are in danger, the silver rope holding the monsters will pull the animal off into the air in a flash, giving them time to breathe and regroup.

"My throwing knife is not accurate enough."

"I just realized that my nine-section whip is too long."

Wei Shuang is slightly more delicate than other female cultivators. Her height is not as tall as most of them.

They discuss during the break and then eat conveyor belt sushi after the discussion - no, they continue to practice in a targeted manner.

If the monster is not good for them to fight, they focus on practicing.

Su Yu nodded again and again. She was very pleased and took a sip from her teacup.

In the Northern Glacier, on the Ten Thousand Years Ice Mountain.

Xiao Muge, sitting in the ice lake, looked at his hands silently.

The two slices of the fresh fish fillet are gone.

The slightly spicy duck rack is gone.

'Ho...'

In his mouth, there was only a trace of satisfaction filled with fish meat flavor and the subtle pleasure of gnawing on the bones of a duck.

'It would be great to have wine at this time!'

Since it conforms to the way of heaven, why would you want to drink ice without food?

Born to be human, there are emotions and desires!

Unexpectedly, his second junior sister is so good at cooking. After being unable to cultivate, even if she burns the flesh and blood of monsters, it will have no spiritual energy at all, which is very suitable for someone like him who is going to fly up accidentally.

It was so delicious that he ate all the bones.

Xiao Muge couldn't help but look up.

The corner of his eye accidentally swept across the jasper turtle with its mouth open beside the ice lake.

"..."

'Master, do you still remember the thousand-mile sound transmission token!?'

Xiao Muge closed his eyes, "Sorry, please go again."

Jasper Turtle: "..."

'Are you sure? Can you listen to my persuasion next time and not eat the token?'

Xiao Muge sighed softly, "This is the pleasure of being born as a human being.

"Go. I'll leave a note for you, and you will leave it to my junior sister."

The Jasper Turtle sighed leisurely.

"Master, in fact, even if you transmit sound, you can't get out of here and take care of other people's affairs. Why bother to transmit sound, which will only add to trouble? Oh, never mind, I'll go again."

...

In the Cultivation Event's secret realm.

"Dear guests, it's time to enjoy snacks. Oh, it's time for medicinal pills." Yu Dong smiled and stepped forward.

"Ah, already three sticks of incense?"

Wei Shuang and her sister looked at each other disappointedly.

"Actually, we don't need an elixir."

It is rare to achieve 120% of yourself. How can they be willing to leave easily?

"It's okay," Su Yu stood with her hands behind her back, standing on the second-grade flying handkerchief that was gradually descending into the snow. "Go ahead. You can pack it up and enjoy it slowly."

Wei Shuang was instantly overjoyed and stared into her star-like eyes, feeling that she was about to get drunk.

"Thank you, Sister."

This round was won by her, Wei Shuang.

Senior Sister from Nanxun, whom she admires, is a real fairy.

Xue Ning's vision is not good. She was obsessed with Sister Mei Zhen'er, who is not as good as Sister Su!

As soon as Wei Shuang thought about it, she excitedly grabbed the nine-section whip in her hand.

Today she really won, in every way.

Su Yu didn't know what she was thinking and asked with a smile, "Two guests, what are your preferences?"

Wei Shuang was stunned for a moment, then looked at her Senior Sister.

'What preferences?'

'A pill?'

Wei Shuang touched her nose.

Her distant relative is at the Divine Transformation. Before the retreat, she gave her many elixirs suitable for the Nascent Soul.

She can't finish it.

"I don't have any shortage of elixirs. Let my senior sister take my share."

The senior sister was immediately embarrassed. "You just said that your nine-section whip is too long to use. Senior sister will help you pay attention in the market and help you with the spirit stone."

"Okay." Wei Shuang nodded cheerfully.

After they discussed it, they decided. "Nanxun brothers and sisters, we have practiced for a long time today, and it's been hard for you. We don't have any requirements for elixirs. You can give us whatever you want."

As soon as Wei Shuang finished speaking, there was a sound of the rope breaking from above her head.

She looked up, and her complexion changed slightly.

This silver wire rope hangs an ice crab equivalent to the Golden Core peak.

The broken rope lost its brilliance in an instant. The ice crab swung its claws fiercely.

Wei Shuang hurriedly raised her nine-section whip.

But in an instant, Su Yu was one step closer to her.

She took out huge silver scissors from her storage bag.

The ice crab fell on the snow on the chopping board that who knows when it was taken out.

The eight crab legs were cut off in an instant, and the two fierce claws swung halfway through.

Then a fire was lit, and a steamer was ready.

Wei Shuang and Ling Shuang: ...

They looked at Su Yu tremblingly and saw that she unhurriedly put away the cold scissors. She took out a rolling pin from her spatial storage bag and ruthlessly rolled it towards the place where the crab legs were cut. It immediately smashed the thin snow-white legs and removed the leg meat.

The two mighty and hard claws were cracked and smashed. Yu Dong and the others swarmed up and picked out the strong crab meat with chopsticks.

Master Su wiped the rolling pin and walked to the back of the ferocious crab with no legs.

After taking a large bowl, she revealed a happy face and returned to the pot with satisfaction.

Wei Shuang and Ling Shuang: "...!"

The ice crab couldn't respond and just... gone.

'Too fast!'

An ice crab equivalent to the peak of Golden Core and only the shell is left!

It still maintains the hideous movement of trying to spew out ice breath. The crab claws were open to stab at someone, but the crab meat in the claws was gone!

...

"Senior sister, senior brother, hurry up. I heard that Master Su was leading the team to practice. Some people saw a lot of third-grade monsters running past. She is only a Golden Core, and just a refiner."

Xue Ning was about to cry.

"Even if there is a third-rank black bear, there is no way!"

Hu Yuan's face was solemn, and he immediately rushed to the place he heard with a group of his junior brothers and sisters.

But in an instant, they saw a bunch of third-grade monsters hanging in the air like bacon. Then they saw a series of ferocious operations by Su Yu, and her scissors were hustle and bustle. They all felt that their sea of knowledge seemed to be hammered by the rolling pin in her hands.

Xue Ning: "..."

'Is this a refiner?'

Hu Yuan: "..."

'Is this how she was surrounded by multiple rank third-grade monsters?'

Suddenly, a mellow smell of fresh lakes hit them.

Master Su held a bright cooking ladle in her hand, scooped a spoonful of golden ice crab essence from the cast iron cauldron, and poured it on the coiled jade white dragon beard noodle.

Boom.

Xue Ning took the lead and swallowed her saliva in a loud voice.

"This is..."

"This is the Crab Butter Noodles."

Su Yu smiled at the two guests and wiped the pot in her hand.

In addition, she picked up the soup pot on the ground and scooped up a few crab legs that were simmered in the broth. It was curved, broken at the joints, and the surface seemed to have cloud patterns. The two gilded sticks were placed in front of Wei Shuang and her sister.

In an instant, several treasure lights fell together.

"You just said that your nine-section whip is too long. Is this appropriate?"

After rolling with a rolling pin and removing the crab meat, a beautiful cloud pattern was left on the nunchaku magic weapon.

After being boiled, it is red with a slight gold tint, like a cloud of fire.

Wei Shuang and Ling Shuang: ...

This is, the experience of eating and the magic treasure package...

Ah, why didn't they meet with Nanxun's Second Floor team earlier?!

[T/N: This crab butter is not the same as crab butter in English.

Crab butter in the English language refers to the yellow-white-greenish substance inside a crab that is revealed after the large shell has been removed, which is actually a digestive gland known as the hepatopancreas, an equivalent to our liver and pancreas. Even though it is edible, it has higher levels of contaminants and can only be safely eaten in a small number of areas and in limited amounts.

However, crab butter in China refers to a very extravagant delicacy from Suzhou. A concoction of male crab's paste and female crab's roe mixed in goose fat or lard then simmered in wine and broth and served over rice or noodles. It is a seasonal dish, only available in Autumn when crabs spawn and fill up with roe. Not only that, making crab butter involves extremely tedious, painstaking work, demanding close attention to the smallest details. As a result, the dish comes with a big price tag (something like 150-200 yuan per bowl).]
