C60 (1/2)
If Lin Shu knew that she was just like a pug in Lian Lian Yao's heart, she might really get angry.
Liao Yao felt that this idea of his was quite good, and he immediately stepped forward. With a smile, he asked, ”What did aunty and cousin say to each other?” So happy? ”
Madam Lian said everything she had just said, laughing while frowning.
However, Yao Yao looked towards Lin Shu and said smilingly: ”The crabs in the capital are at most average, they are mostly raised in the river, the taste is not as good as the crabs in the Suzhou region. I still remember that the crabs we eat at home are all bigger than our two hands, and their taste is very fresh … If cousin wants to eat it, I'll send someone over to deliver some. ”
Lin Shu immediately waved her hands, ”I've only heard that Tang Tai Zong gave Litchi to Noble Consort Bo Yang for a smile, but I haven't heard of anyone giving a crab to him. The number of crabs that can be transported from the Suzhou area is probably many times more than living.
Yao Yao shot a glance at her before curling his lips, ”I really don't know how to enjoy myself!”
My mother was being watched by so many people. Normally, even if she used a bowl of blood coloured porridge, there would still be some people talking about it. If she really brought back crabs from the Suzhou region, who knows what it would be like …” What's more, we have a crab, so we can't just hide in the yard and eat it, can't we? I have always been on good terms with Third Sister, and Third Sister is a greedy person. I'm afraid three baskets are more than enough. If that's the case, I'm afraid a ship of crab would have to be shipped from the Suzhou region. How much silver would that cost?
She was not a person who cared about silver. She was not someone who would use the silver from Lian Family to please her people at Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, even if she were to take this silver away to the charity of the poor, she would still get a word of thanks from others. However, if she were to give this silver to people at Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion, not only would they not thank her, they would even despise this silver.
Even the usually generous Madam Lian could not help but say: ”Our Sister Shu has grown up. But I feel that Sister Shu is right, we can only earn a little bit of Lian Family silver, it is not something that falls from the sky, why are we wasting it? ”
No matter how she looked at it, she liked it. ”I know your mouth is just like your father's, and it's probably not easy to eat crab meat in the capital city. When the time comes, I'll order the kitchen to make a few spicy crabs, and they'll taste exactly the same as Su Zhou.”
Yao Yao said with a smile, ”Aunty, there's no need for that. I was just thinking that my cousin had never eaten a crab in Suzhou before, which was why I mentioned it. But who knew that my cousin would not appreciate my kindness!”
Lin Shu only rolled her eyes at him, she was too lazy to bother with him.
Originally, she felt that even having Yao was not easy to get along with. After being together for a few months, she felt that even having Yao was not that bad, that she had never said anything shameful when she first entered the palace. Every time she came back from White Horse Institute, she would deliver some small stuff to her.
The first time she brought back two boxes of makeup pavilion rouge, Lin Shu only said that she was young and didn't need these, and after that she became the old name of the candied flakes, Celestial Fragrance Pavilion's soy sauce, and other such things. Even Lin Shu couldn't help but sigh, thinking that even Yao must have been reincarnated as a hungry ghost in his previous life, otherwise, how could he know all the delicious things in the capital in the short span of a few months?
Fortunately, even Yao Yao was a good person and knew how to pass things to Lin Shu. The other girls also had a portion of what they gave to him.
After all, Lin Hui was a greedy little devil.
The fifth house's crab feast was held on the second day. Madam Lian was rich and overbearing, on the second day she bought a basket of crabs, which were waiting for him on the top of the crabs. Although these crabs could not compare to the crabs of Suzhou, they were all extremely big and fat.
That day, Lin Shu also invited Lin Hui over. Originally, Madam Lian was with him, but Madam Lian only said that the few children were playing together, she did not go over, she only told Peony to set up a stove in the pavilion by the lake and sent over salted wild boar meat and goat meat over for them to roast.
This was the first time Lin Shu and Lin Shu were roasting meat outside, and they wished that they could go to the pavilion early in the morning to busy themselves. Last night, you sent Chun Dou to say that there would be a feast tonight. I was so excited that I didn't get a good night's sleep, finally falling asleep, and dreamt of a basket of crabs crawling towards me. My heart was pounding, but then I thought, 'It's just crabs, what's so scary about that?' He hurriedly ordered Xiangzi to capture the crab and send it to the kitchen to be steamed. ”
Saying that, she let out a long sigh, and said, ”It's a pity that in my dream, Aroma had just caught the crab and was preparing to send it to the kitchen, but who knew that she would wake up just like that? I was so angry that I only ate two Sweet Heart Steamed Bun for breakfast … I was hungry for a long time, why hasn't Brother Yao come yet? ”
Just as she finished her sentence, a mocking laughter came from not too far away, ”Aren't they already here?”
Who else could it be if they didn't even have Yao? He smiled at Lin Shu for a moment, before his gaze landed on Lin Hui, ”Cousin Hui, your dream is truly very strange!”
Lin Hui's face instantly flushed red.
Lin Shu laughed and saved her, ”Brother Yao, can you stop teasing third sister? Third sister has been looking forward to seeing you for a long time, you're finally here, let's quickly eat! ”
