Chapter 185 The Past Aroused by Crabs
Aunt Wang was very satisfied with Cuiping. Her eyebrows were very relaxed. She praised Cuiping on the road, "It''s so grand, and her walking posture is also beautiful, and she still doesn''t sound yet."
"If you go back and let a few girls learn, that''s the skill from the palace."
Xin An hurriedly stopped her, "But don''t, people in the yard will not be able to walk soundly, it''s so scary."
"We are not in the palace, so there is no need to be so nervous. You should still be a little angry and lively."
Aunt Wang heard this, but she had other plans in her heart. When she returned to Qiushiyuan, she began to remind Chunyang and Chunlu to let them restrain themselves. Don’t ask Aunt Cuiping to make the young lady laugh at the people around her for being unruly. The serious look made the people in the yard nervous, and they were even thinking about whether to change their clothes to welcome the aunt from the palace.
Xin An found it funny, "Don''t learn too rigidly."
I cared too much about these in my previous life, so that I could live a frustrated and careful life with those who followed her. In this life, I must live as freely as possible within the allowed scope. "When I arrived at our yard, Aunt Cuiping could only follow the local customs."
If you dare to teach her and her people, you won’t be able to come out of the palace.
Chun Lu and his wife quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and then they laughed one by one. There was a young lady supporting everyone, and no one was afraid of them.
Soon Doctor Zhao came, and Xin An asked her to look at her nails, "I had a little faded earlier and a new piece has grown. I have to dye it again today."
Doctor Zhao took out her bottles and jars and said that he would apply oil to his hair for a while, "Treat hair first and then dye his nails. A few days ago, I got a more gorgeous layer of red, and it was decorated with alum, and the color on it looked very beautiful."
When Cuiping arrived with her bag, Xin''an''s nails had just been dyed. She learned that her residence was not here and she would not delay. The first thing was to ask someone to buy crabs, and at the same time, she had to prepare all the tools for eating crabs. She was worried that Xin''an would make a fool of herself at the crab banquet tomorrow.
"Today I will tell the young lady about the rules of eating crabs in Beijing."
Chunyang felt it was a bit redundant. Her girl grew up in Huaijiang. Every autumn, the crabs in Huaijiang River are fat. There are seven or eight ways to make crabs in any restaurant. How could her girl not eat crabs?
"As Aunt Cuiping''s instructions, go and do it."
The rules for eating crabs in the two places are different. Xin''an feels it is necessary to listen. You should know that she had never attended a crab banquet in her previous life and did not invite her at all.
Chunyang went out to get the money and went out. Chunlu took Cuiping to settle it. Doctor Zhao pretended not to hear anything, but only ordered someone to bring the shampoo. The hair that was oily was not washed clean and he couldn''t fall asleep.
A half-day busy, Xin''an''s hair was black and smooth, and his fingernails changed color. Because the original color did not fall off, he dyed it again and became redder. "Doctor Zhao''s dyeing skills are better."
Doctor Zhao began to clean up her bottles and jars, "Mrs. Young lady''s nails are good-looking, they look good before they are dyed, and they are extremely dazzling if they are a little color."
"The next dyeing can be waited until half a month later."
Xin''an said that he would send someone to invite her at that time, "Thank you for your hard work today."
“It should be.”
Chunyang presented the hard work today, and after some politeness, he sent Doctor Zhao out. Xin An lazily stretched his waist and back. Seeing that it was not too early, he asked Chunyang to simply comb her hair and no longer make any complicated styles. As soon as he got up, Aunt Cuiping came with someone and brought the crab.
She calculated the time to put the crabs in the pot without delay.
Xin''an sat down at the dining table. Cuiping asked Chunyang Chunlu and two big girls to come forward to look at it and said, "I heard that Huaijiang crabs are fat, the second young lady must be familiar with them. The crabs are fresh and lively, so there are not many crabs delivered to the capital. They only eat them once or twice a year. They are usually made into salted crabs, crabs, sugar crabs, crab porridge and hand-washing crabs. Among them, salted crabs are the most troublesome. If this dish is delivered tomorrow, the host will not specifically ask the second young lady, so that the girl can remove the crabs."
As he said that, he picked up a crab and put it into the bone plate. He looked up at Chunyang Chun Green, "I will take one for you to see, so you have to see it clearly." Huaijiang also has salted crabs, and the people who eat it themselves. According to personal habits, there are also tools to eat crabs, but compared to Cuiping''s hand, it is a bit rough.
Especially crab roe crab paste, in Huaijiang, the crabs are broken open and sucked directly on their mouths. The food is fresh and sweet. When it comes to Aunt Cuiping''s hands, it has to be disassembled into the plate bit by bit. Not to mention Chunyang and Chunlu, even Xin''an feels that the little fresh and sweetness is gone after such a struggle.
It''s hard to see, it''s not interesting.
As for crab legs, it’s interesting. Huaijiang used a small mill to crush the crab legs and Cuiping poked the thighs with her calf, which was quite convenient. But after one was removed, the meat was cold.
As soon as the meat was cold, it brought a little fishy smell. Xin An frowned after taking a sip, "Where did you buy this crab?"
"This is not the most plump time for crabs. If you want to send them to the capital, you don''t have much to worry about. If you are young, you will feel a little worse."
Chunyang said that Chang Liu also took some effort to buy these crabs, "There are no crabs around the capital."
Xin''an lost interest in these crabs. He thought that in my memory, the crabs in Huaijiang were delicious. The big meat was so delicious that she hadn''t tasted them for a long time. In the eyes of everyone, she was still in Huaijiang a few months ago. Only she and Tang Mo knew that she hadn''t been back in the Huaijiang area for more than ten years.
But she remembers the appearance of Huaijiang crabs very clearly.
I remember one year, in order to let her eat a bite of the crab from Huaijiang, her father got two hundred kilograms of crabs from Huaijiang and came by water. When she arrived in the capital, she was still alive. She was so scared that it was not only because the crabs were delicious, but also because the crabs came from her hometown, full of her parents'' concern for her.
Unfortunately, no one fell into her mouth, and Tang Rong used it as a favor, leaving a few left behind and he went to eat with Tao Yiran at night.
Now that I thought about it, I was so cheap at that time, so I should have picked up a knife and killed that bastard.
A bite of crab meat aroused her sadness, and the sadness slowly dissipated. Chunyang instantly reacted, "Is the young lady homesick?"
Xin An smiled and sniffed, "I miss homesickness, and I don''t know when I can taste the crabs from Huaijiang again."
"I won''t talk about this anymore. You can follow Aunt Cuiping''s method to dismantle it. If there is any right place, Aunt Cuiping can also give you some tips."
Aunt Cuiping didn''t say much, so she didn''t ask about her master''s affairs, not to mention that she had just arrived, but she just mentioned the key points of the spring and green crab removal from time to time.
After dismantling a few of them in a row, Chunyang and Chunlu became more and more skillful. However, the crabs that were dismantled were thin and yellow, and the paste was thin, so Xin''an was even less interested.
When Tang Mo came back, he saw a few plates of crab meat and a pile of crab shells on the table.
"What is this for?"
Xin''an made a random mistake, "I thought about how hard you worked as a job, so I''m going to make you a crab meat bun, so I have to eat more at night."
"So thoughtful?"
Tang Mo stepped forward happily, "The crab meat buns are very fresh. Last time I ate them last year. It''s quite troublesome to dismantle them, and it''s all hard."
