A Blessed Daughter

  Chapter 288 Drunken Crab and Raw Pickled

  If you still insist on giving this wine, you can only inquire elsewhere. If there are other channels to get it, it’s okay to say, if not, you can only give up this idea completely.

   After this inquiry, they really let them inquire about a place, that is Xu Ji Braised Meat Shop not far from Zuixianju.

There are also thyme sellers here, but just like Zuixianju, only one pot is sold here every day, and each person can only buy one pot at a time. If there are too many, the price is the same as Zuixianju. , ten taels of silver for a pot.

   It's not difficult to buy it once and try it out, it just takes some time, but it's a bit difficult to buy several jars to give away.

  Wei Yichen was in the college, and when he heard the people around him talk about this matter, although he didn't feel the same way about giving gifts, he was also fascinated by the way of it.

  On May 18th, Xu Fengyuan, who was in Anzhou College, received a letter from his family saying that his grandfather had fallen at home and was bedridden.

  Xu Fengyuan immediately asked the college for leave to go back home. Because the college stipulated that students must be accompanied by others when they go out on non-holidays, Wei Yichen accompanied him.

   Fortunately, Mrs. Xu's body is still strong. The fall broke his leg and he needs to rest in bed. His life is not in danger.

  After confirming that Mrs. Xu was fine, Wei Yichen thought of going home by the way.

  After Wei Yichen and Xu Fengyuan explained, Xu Fengyuan agreed very much, because Wei Yichen's father is still recovering from his injuries and is still recuperating at home. As the eldest son, Wei Yichen should visit him frequently.

  So the two made an appointment to split up today and meet at the gate of the city tomorrow morning to go back to the academy.

  After returning home, Wei Yichen first visited Wei Mingting and Yun Shi, and reported to them the recent things in the college and their academic situation.

   Then he was concerned about his father's injury and the recent situation in Taizhou.

  Finally, Wei Yichen asked about the situation of his younger siblings.

   "How are sister Ruoer and sister Wanwan doing these days?"

   "Both of them are very good. They go to Tianqin Garden and Tongzhifu to attend classes every day. Your eldest sister will occasionally be invited by Mrs. Yuan to visit the Zhifu's residence." Wei Mingting replied.

   "Is Madam Yuan inviting Sister Ruoer to the house as a guest just as a guest? Or do you have other matters to discuss with Sister Ruoer?" Wei Yichen asked.

   "Father didn't ask in detail. If you care about Ruo'er, you can ask yourself. She just happened to be at home today because her husband was on leave." Wei Mingting said.

   This is a reminder, Wei Mingting knows that because of the slap last time, the relationship between the siblings has become very rigid.

"I see."

  Wei Yichen also had the same intention. Yu Sheng left in a hurry after the tea house last time. He only had time to send his followers to deliver the old wild ginseng to Sister Ruoer's house, but he didn't have time to say anything.

  Wei Yichen came to the gate of Tingsongyuan, and just approached the gate when he heard laughter coming from inside.

   "Miss, the crab is hanging on your sleeve! Hahaha..."

   "The smelly plum is still laughing, catch it quickly."

   "Miss, don't move, I can't catch it if you move."

   "Hurry up, I don't want to be caught by it. This pliers can hold me and get me a piece of meat!"

   "Okay, okay, put it back in the bamboo basket, Miss, how do you want it to die? I will avenge you!"

"Half of these crabs are used to make drunk crabs with wine, and the other half are made to be marinated raw. Then we will see which one tastes better! As for the one that was hung on my body, it was fried with green onion and **** for a while, and it suffered from the fire. !"

   "Okay! No problem! I'll get the wine here."

   "..."

  Wei Ruo is still very busy these days, so he didn't go to Tianqin Garden to report for several days. Fortunately, Mrs. Yuan and Mr. Wang Caiwei helped her cover up, so even if she didn't go to class, she didn't have to worry about being discovered by her family.

  It is rare to have time today, so I worked with Xiumei in the yard to deal with the fresh seafood given to her by the folks in Shitou Village, which were caught in the sea after the Japanese pirates subsided in recent days.

  Although it is not a good season to eat crabs, no one can predict when the Japanese pirates will come to invade, so they can eat and eat.

  In a while, Wei Ruo plans to study with Xiumei to make some taro products.

   It just so happened that a lot of taro has been produced in the space in the past few days. In addition to saving seeds, Wei Ruo also used some of it to make some taro system for tasting.

  After Wei Yichen stood at the gate of the courtyard for a while, he finally decided to knock on the door.

   After a while, Wei Ruo came over and opened the door.

  Seeing Wei Yichen, Wei Ruo was expressionless: "Is there something wrong?"

   "It's nothing important, I'm going home today, I'll come and see you... have you been... are you okay?"

"everything is fine."

   "That's good." Wei Yichen said.

   After speaking, the two were silent for a while, looking at each other speechlessly.

   At this time, Xiumei came back with the wine, holding a basin filled with crabs in one hand, and pouring water into the basin with the flagon in the other.

  This action, a maid with weaker hands can't do it, it has to be Xiumei, a practicing family.

  Xiumei walked and said to Wei Ruo: "Miss, is this wine enough to cover the crabs?"

  Because she was concentrating on the work at hand, Xiumei didn't notice Wei Yichen standing at the door.

   When he got closer and found that it was Wei Yichen, he hurriedly said hello, "I have seen the young master."

   It's just that the things in my hands have no place to put them for a while, and I hold them awkwardly.

  Wei Yichen smelled the strong and somewhat familiar aroma of wine, and seeing that what Xiumei poured into the basin was a transparent liquid, he couldn't help but think of thyme, which has been hotly discussed these days.

  If it’s really thyme that needs to be ordered in advance and lined up to buy recently, sister Ruo’er uses it to soak crabs, wouldn’t that be a bit extravagant?

  Wei Yichen was puzzled, but swallowed the question that came to his lips, and asked instead: "Are you preparing to eat?"

   "Well, I got some seafood." Wei Ruo replied.

   "Is it drunk crab and raw pickled?"

"Um."

   "The locals in Taizhou seem to like this method very much. They have eaten at banquets a few times before. In recent years, due to the relationship between Japanese pirates, fewer people went to sea, and everyone ate less."

"Um."

   "Our family from the north is not used to eating, so we don't have these things at home. If sister Ruoer likes it, let the kitchen prepare some for you next time."

"Um."

   Then the two were silent for a while.

  After a while, Wei Yichen said: "You are busy, I will go back to my room first, and I will talk to you in detail during dinner."

   "En." Wei Ruo finally responded, and then closed the courtyard door.

   Then Wei Ruo and Xiumei listened to the movement outside, and the footsteps gradually faded away.

  After confirming that the person had gone far away, Xiumei whispered: "Miss, the young master doesn't suspect anything, does he?"

   "Do you suspect crabs or wine? Don't worry, I have a lot of money, and I can afford even the expensive things that are currently on sale. When asked, I said I bought it myself. There is nothing to make him suspicious."
