Chapter 200 Preparing to Sell Crabs

With this move, the rest of the breakfast was wiped out.

There are still quite a few people who come in for lunch.

This season is the time to eat crabs, but the traffic at this time is not as developed as the real traffic, but a few days ago, she asked someone to take a message to the elder brothers and sisters in the country, asking them to collect crabs, all crabs are bigger than palms, but If the requirements are met, a crab costs two pennies.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw that a carriage had already stopped at the door.

The driver was Qin Daniu.

Seeing her elder brother, she expressed joy on her face: "Elder brother."

Qin Daniu jumped off the carriage and said to him: "The vegetables harvested in the past two days have been brought to you. By the way, there are also the crabs you mentioned. I said that after harvesting the crabs, many people in our village went down the river." Let’s touch it, don’t say it, I really touched a lot.”

He went in and pulled out a basket.

The basket was covered with wooden boards, and even stones were pressed on it. Qin Zhiyi knew at a guess that the elder brother was worried that the crab would slip out of it, so he did this.

Seeing that the eldest brother was about to take down the stone, she hurriedly said, "Don't rush to take it down, let's move the things to the back kitchen and pour them into a big bucket, so as not to crawl out all these things."

Qin Daniu smiled foolishly and responded, holding the basket with both hands and carrying the stones on it together.

After removing the stone, Qin Daniu opened the lid, slammed it, and dumped all the crabs inside.

Dozens of crabs immediately ran back and forth inside, but they could only circle around the bottom of the pan, unable to escape at all.

Qin Zhiyi smiled and said, "Brother, if you collect crabs next time, you can tell them to tie up the crabs with straw, so that this thing will neither pinch people with pincers nor escape."

As she spoke, she walked to the pot hole, picked up a straw and soaked it in the water, and when it softened, twisted it for Qin Daniu to demonstrate.

Now that the younger sister did this, the crab was lying in his hand obediently. He scratched his scalp and said, "My younger sister is really smart. If you tie it like this, it will be honest. I will learn how to tie it later and teach them how to tie it."

Having said that, he asked again: "Sister, what are you doing with these crabs?"

"Of course I ate it."

Qin Zhiyi continued: "Brother is tired today, so I'll have lunch here at noon. After dinner, I'll go back to Qin's Village with you to pick up grandma. We'll celebrate tomorrow."

Hearing this, Qin Daniu also understood what his sister was thinking, so he nodded.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Qin Zhiyi said again: "It just so happened that I got these crabs at noon, and I took my brother to taste them together."

"it is good."

After Qin Zhiyi finished speaking, he began to clean the crabs by himself.

Qin Daniu stood aside, a little uneasy.

Long before he came back, he had heard that his sister and Fei Chengcheng were planning to get married.

But now seeing his sister, he didn't know how to speak.

Several times, Qin Daniu stood beside him and tried, but he didn't speak in the end.

It wasn't until Qin Zhiyi washed the crabs in his hand and steamed them in a pot that he saw Qin Daniu's hesitant expression.

"Brother, do you have something to tell me?"

After being pointed out by Qin Zhiyi, Qin Daniu nodded again naively: "Sister, why don't we change places, brother wants to chat with you."

"it is good."

The two arrived at a private room, Qin Daniu sat down, and then hesitantly said: "Brother, I heard that you are going to marry Mr. Fei?"

Qin Zhiyi didn't speak, Qin Daniu hurriedly said again: "Brother knows, there must be some reason, you are a sensible girl, you know that the new widow can't get married so soon and will be criticized by others, but others don't know, so the elder brother said I wonder if there is something else going on."

She admitted that she was moved by the elder brother's words: "I didn't want to talk about it at first, but since the elder brother asked and the matter is over, I will tell you about it."

Afterwards, she told her elder brother exactly what Mr. Liu and their plans were.

The eldest brother heard the words, and then said: "So it's like this. You have suffered a lot these days, and you must have suffered a lot of gossip. Fortunately, this matter is over."

Qin Zhiyi nodded: "It was originally spread that the wedding day was two days after the Double Ninth Festival. When the day came, we didn't get married, so the rumors were self-defeating."

"That's true."

The big stone that Qin Daniu was pressing on his chest finally fell.

The reason why his sister did this was purely to catch the thief, and if someone gossips in the future, he can justifiably refute it back.

Soon, the crabs in the pot had been steamed, and Axi came up to tell her, so she took her elder brother downstairs to adjust the dipping sauce, sat at the most conspicuous place by the door, and began to eat crabs with her elder brother.

The tools that were previously prepared have been prepared a long time ago. Just putting the crabs on the table, and arranging the tools and dipping materials for eating the crabs neatly, has already attracted people who come in to eat.

Of course, everyone will not accept novel things easily, especially crabs. We have never eaten this way before, and it is a rare thing to see it on the table.

Many people who came to eat simply ordered food, and stood by to watch them eat.

Qin Zhiyi didn't care about anything else, and just asked his eldest brother to follow her example, how to uncover the crab shell.

Fortunately, the first female crab she opened had not only a lot of crab roe, but also a lot of crab paste.

She picked it out with a tool, dipped it in the juice again, and handed it to the eldest brother: "Brother, try it."

It was also the first time for Qin Daniu to eat like this. Seeing Qin Zhiyi handing him the yellow and bland food, he couldn't help asking: "This, this can also be eaten?"

In his opinion, this yellow stuff is excrement, how can it be imported?

Qin Zhiyi explained patiently: "This is crab roe, the treasure of crabs, here are the gills, and here..."

Her voice is unhurried, and her tone is also comfortable to listen to. While introducing to her elder brother, she is also introducing to the people around her.

Hearing this, the eldest brother ate the crab roe for the last time, and immediately praised: "It's not bad, it's very delicious. It tastes like egg yolk, but it's so much better than egg yolk."

There are already people around who are curious, and Qin Zhiyi is not stingy, after breaking away those crabs, anyone who is willing to try can try it.

Many people have already tried it on their own initiative, putting a mouthful of crab roe into their mouths, and everyone who has tasted it praised the deliciousness.

It seems that the delicacy of crab can be served on the table.

During lunch, Fei Chengsheng didn't come back.

Before he sent Axi to ask, Fei Chengcheng had already sent a yamen servant over, saying that Mr. Liu invited him to dinner at noon.

Qin Zhiyi heard the words, and immediately asked the chef to prepare the dishes, and sent Axi to the yamen.

There were a lot of people in the yamen, and she made more than a dozen dishes back and forth, all of which were meat dishes that could be served on the table, even if they were vegetarian dishes, they were also loved by everyone.

After lunch, Qin Zhiyi took the carriage, took Dabao and Erbao, and returned to Qin's Village with his elder brother.

Unexpectedly, when I got off the carriage, I didn't see Grandma, but my sister-in-law came out of the house.

Seeing Qin Zhiyi, Xue Chunhua was also taken aback: "Why is my sister back today?"

Qin Daniu hurriedly explained: "My sister said that today she will take Grandma to the city for the festival."

Xue Chunhua immediately realized it, sighed and said: "After your eldest brother left in the morning, Grandma secretly cried in the house, and kept saying that she would go to the grave to accompany Grandpa. We couldn't stop it, so we let her went……"
