Chapter 394

The seafood I picked up by myself at noon felt very delicious.

Except for Xiao Yixun, who couldn't get enough sun, who was a little sullen, the other three people on the long table were all smiling.

In summer, it is very refreshing to eat a pot of fresh cold snail meat with enough seasoning and ice under it.

This dish was taught by Lin Wanwan to Hua Nong, and now the latter is completely better than blue.

In addition to the cold conch meat, there are also mussels, sea melon seeds, scallop slices, and two kinds of cut seasonal fruits, and a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus brewed by Xiao Xianghua's special request is hot on the side.

Of course, the protagonist of today is the big blue crab, which is steamed in a big steamer and served one by one for each person.

In this season, swimming crabs and hairy crabs are not fat enough, only blue crabs are the most plump.

The three blue crabs that Xiao Qingyu caught were not enough to eat, but fortunately, Lin Wanwan also collected seafood from the other sea tribesmen, so it was no problem to put together a feast of blue crabs.

Lin Wanwan usually eats seafood such as shrimps and crabs, and has always been reluctant to add other seasonings. She thinks that dipping them in soy sauce will cover up the deliciousness of the shrimps and crabs.

Xiao Qingyu was raised by her, and naturally tasted the same as hers, while Xiao Yixun always liked to imitate Lin Wanwan, so the three of them all steamed and ate directly.

Xiao Xianghua is much more particular about eating crabs, dipping in tempeh is a must, and he has to choose the place.

Although their family is only a branch of the Xiao family, they should have as much sense of ritual in life as possible.

Today, under Xiao Xianghua's suggestion, Lin Wanwan moved the location of eating blue crabs to the Chenxiang Pavilion built in the back courtyard on the lake.

This Shenxiang Pavilion is a mortise and tenon structure, designed and built by Wang Duliao and his team.

Its roof has a double-eave structure covered with green tiles, and its doors, windows and pillars are painted with red paint, which is the favorite combination of red and green in the Tang Dynasty.

Red and green match, vulgar is elegant.

The precious agarwood, together with the various peonies and peonies that Lin Wanwan bought and planted in modern times, makes this pavilion absolutely picturesque.

At noon in summer, the feng shui direction of Chenxiang Pavilion has been calculated by the master. The doors and windows are fully opened, two hand-operated fans are set up, and a large ice sculpture is placed in front of it.

The few people were blowing the soft cool breeze, admiring the beautiful scenery outside the pavilion, and eating crab meat, not to mention how comfortable they were.

You don't even need to peel the crab shells yourself, the maids of everyone around have already brought tools up to be the crab shellers.

Lin Wanwan was not so decadent in the first place, she did most things by herself.But it was too appropriate for Xiao Xianghua to spread everything out, so she simply followed suit and enjoyed it.

In order to show that she is not a complete coward, Lin Wanwan went back to her room (go back to Hyundai to buy it in a supermarket) and got a piece of golden osmanthus scented soap wrapped with a foaming net, for everyone to wash their hands before meals.

Sweet-scented osmanthus with blue crab is very suitable for the occasion.

Xiao Qingyu likes this kind of nice-colored soap the most, and her second favorite is playing with water.

So when everyone washed their hands, she had to help foam from the side, and Huang Po sold melons and boasted: "I am a hardworking little bee!"

Lin Wanwan shook her head and laughed, thank you very much, no need.

The few people happily ate seafood, drank sweet-scented osmanthus brew, followed simple wine orders, enjoyed the beautiful scenery by the lake, and kept laughing and laughing.

After the maids peeled a crab for their masters, they all retreated to the corridor, and began to eat by themselves.

For a while, the master and the servant enjoyed themselves.

While eating, drinking, and having fun, a maid suddenly came to report: "Xiao Mingfu, Mr. Dugu, please see me."

This big foodie must have come here in order to grab a meal, regardless of the heat at noon.

Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "Please come in quickly, put two more sets of bowls and chopsticks, and then go to the steamer to get two big blue crabs."

"Here!"

Lin Wanwan said to Xiao Xianghua again: "I received a letter from my cousin the day before yesterday, saying that I would come over these two days, and it really happened to be a coincidence."

While talking, Xiao Chong had already pushed aside the bamboo curtain and walked into the pavilion. He was dressed in blue and plain clothes, and as soon as he appeared, he took away all the light around him.

Dugu Di, who is about 1.8 meters tall, who is also very good, is not only suppressed by his height, but also completely suppressed by Xiao Chong's side.

Everyone always had to express some emotion towards Xiao Chong first, and then they could see the people who came in together next to them.

After greeting each other, they took their seats.

Hongyan went to get the bowls and chopsticks, and Yunshang came in with a basin of cold water, and Mo Xiang, who also brought water, served the two men who were sweating and washed their hands.

Now is the time when Qiuhuo is at its most powerful, Xiao Chong and Dugu Di pick this time to come, it's no wonder that they are not hot and sweaty.

"Cousin is in a good mood today, eating wine and peeling crabs at Chenxiang Pavilion."

"Exactly, the beautiful scenery and delicious food on a good day, you can't live up to it. My cousin is too hot all the way, eat some cold blue crabs to cool down. Oh, by the way, there is also this bowl of iced conch meat, you must like it too .”

"Delicious food comes first, so you're welcome, thank you cousin."

Xiao Chong sat on the lower left side of Lin Wanwan, this seat was originally occupied by Xiao Xianghua, when she saw Xiao Chong and Dugu Di come in, she quietly gave up her seat.

"Well, this cold snail meat is really delicious!" Xiao Chong ate it calmly, taking a mouthful of snail meat and drinking wine, "It's just that the sweet-scented osmanthus brew is not strong enough, brother Xiwen, what do you think?"

"It's okay." Dugu Bing asked with a smile, "Mr. Xiang, is this sweet-scented osmanthus wine made to go with blue crabs? Here in Yan County, people in Chang'an eat it the same way."

Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "Yes, this was arranged by my cousin Xianghua."

Xiao Xianghua smiled slightly: "I'm just borrowing flowers to present to the Buddha, and all the ingredients and wine are existing at home."

Xiao Qingyu raised her head from the bowl and retorted: "I caught the big blue crab and the big ring snail this morning!"

Everyone laughed when they heard the words, Xiao Chong happily said: "Well, Xiao Qingyu is amazing!"

"Hmph!" Xiao Qingyu showed a hint of complacency.

After teasing Xiao Qingyu for a while, everyone continued to drink and eat crabs.

Dugu Di didn't seem to have much interest in seafood, he just picked up a few chopsticks and stopped moving, drinking in silence all the time.

His eyes were still covered with white cloth, but his actions were not affected at all.

Xiao Xianghua looked at Dugu Di frequently, his cheeks flushed slightly.

Lin Wanwan didn't notice her change either, she just focused on talking to Xiao Chong.

Xiao Chong didn't come here today just to grab a meal, the sweet potatoes in his field had already begun to be harvested, this time he sent someone to bring three sacks by boat.He and Dugu Di arrived first on horseback, and the boat arrived an hour later.

He brought the sweet potatoes over, first to try the machine that Lin Wanwan had mentioned for making powdered cakes, and second, to tell Lin Wanwan about the approximate output.

"Cousin, I'm sure those farmers are taking care of the fields seriously, but somehow the yield is not as high as yours. Is there any secret to this? I hope my cousin will share it."

What's the trick? It's just that Lin Wanwan sprinkled chemical fertilizers!

However, Lin Wanwan has already made a decision to grow pure natural green vegetables next season, and will not bring in chemical fertilizers, so this secret will no longer worry about being exposed.

"Maybe it's because my sweet potato seedlings are slightly better than the ones given to you. After all, I picked them first before distributing them to everyone."

"Oh, is that so?" Xiao Chong gave Lin Wanwan a meaningful look with eyes full of wisdom, and said, "Someone thought it had something to do with the fertilizer you sprinkled on the fields."
