Chapter 13

"Oh? I wonder what kind of business it is?" Huang Youde asked with great interest as he glanced at the pannier at Su Wan's feet.

"Qianqian, open the basket and show it to shopkeeper Huang." Su Wan smiled at Su Qian.

"Yeah." Su Qian nodded, took off the cloth covering the back basket, took out a few river crabs and put them on the stone table.

"This is?" Shopkeeper Huang looked at the river crab whose legs had been bound but didn't recognize what it was for a moment.

"This is a river crab." Su Wan said with a smile.

"Crab? What is it?" Shopkeeper Huang frowned, picked up one and looked at it carefully, suddenly his expression changed, and he threw it on the table with a "slap".

"This, isn't this eight legs?"

"Eight legs is just its common name, but its scientific name is river crab." Su Wan explained with a smile.

"No matter what it's called, this thing can't be eaten. You just want to use it to do business with me?" Huang Youde's face was a little ugly, because he thought this little girl was unusual just now, and he was still interested in the big business she talked about. There is a glimmer of expectation.

"Exactly."

Huang Youde's reaction was completely within Su Wan's expectations. She calmly picked up the tea in front of her and took another sip, then looked up at Huang Youde and asked with a smile, "I don't know why shopkeeper Huang said that this river crab is not edible?"

"For a long time, no one has ever eaten it. It is said that it is highly poisonous, and it doesn't look like something that can be eaten." Huang Youde said patiently.

"Who said that no one has ever eaten it? My sister and I just ate it this morning. Do you think we look poisoned?" Su Wan stood up, turned around and asked with a smile.

"Is this true?" Huang Youde asked with a frown.

"Of course it's true. I wonder if I can borrow Shopkeeper Huang's kitchen?" Su Wan smiled lightly. Facts speak louder than words. She made it and ate it for him to see.

Huang Youde thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, the big kitchen in front is messy, so let's go to the small kitchen in the backyard."

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Huang." Su Wan thanked her, and carried Su Qian to the small kitchen with her backpack on her back.

Huang Youde looked at the backs of the two little girls thoughtfully, since they said they could eat it, then let them eat it in front of him after making it.

Although he has always said that he can't eat it, he has never seen anyone who has actually eaten it. If he can really eat it and the taste is good, then his Deshun Zhai is really developed.

Su Wan brought Su Qian to the small kitchen, took out four river crabs from the back basket, put them in the steamer and started to steam them, after thinking about it, she took out a few more, stamped them into pieces, and made a spicy stir-fried river crab.

"Sister, it smells so good." Su Qian took a deep breath, staring at the plate of spicy fried river crab and swallowing.

"Don't worry, I'll let you eat your fill in a while." Su Wan smiled and nodded her nose, turned around and found another piece of ginger and began to chop ginger.

"Yeah." Su Qian nodded happily, and then asked in confusion: "Sister, how do you know that eight legs can be eaten? And you know how to do it?"

"I didn't know it before, but when I was unconscious last time, I had a dream. I dreamed that an old fairy was eating eight legs. He told me that this was called river crab, and it was edible. I woke up just as I was about to taste it. Yes, it may be that God has pity on us, so Tuomeng told me."

Su Wan casually made up a reason. People in this era are superstitious, so she should be able to stand up for saying this, right?

"Really, big sister? Did the old fairy say anything else?"

Sure enough, Su Qian's expression became very devout when he heard the words.

"No, I woke up when the old god told me, so I didn't even take a bite." Su Wan sighed regretfully.

Su Qian said with a "puchi" smile, "Sister, what's the point of eating in a dream? Didn't you really eat it?"

"Haha, it's true." Su Wan breathed a sigh of relief quietly, it seems that this level has been fooled.

Su Wan chopped the minced ginger, added some soy sauce and vinegar to make ginger juice, took out the river crab from the steamer and put it on a plate, and put the ginger juice in the middle.

"Qianqian, bring it here." Su Wan handed the plate to Su Qian, and went to serve the plate of spicy fried river crab by herself, because it was relatively hot, and she was afraid that Su Qian would be scalded.

"Okay." Su Qian took the plate, looked at the bowl of ginger juice and asked, "Sister, is this the ginger juice you said you should go with the river crab?"

"Yes, this must go with the river crab, or you will have a stomachache if you eat too much." Su Wan nodded, changed her mind, and took down the bowl of ginger juice again.

"Sister, what's the matter?" Su Qian looked at Su Wan with some doubts.

"I have other plans, just eat and don't talk for a while." Su Wan said with a mysterious smile.

"Yeah, I got it, big sister." Su Qian nodded, and followed Su Wan to take out the crab.

Huang Youde smelled a scent that he had never smelled before from a long distance away, and when he saw the plate in the hands of the two sisters Su Wan, he opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"Is this made with eight legs?"

"Exactly, shopkeeper Huang, try it?" Su Wan smiled and put the plate of spicy fried river crab on the table, and handed Huang Youde a pair of chopsticks.

"This, is it really edible?" Huang Youde hesitated and didn't reach out to pick it up.

Su Wan didn't explain, and handed Su Qian another pair of chopsticks: "Qianqian, you eat."

"Well, thank you big sister." Su Qian took the chopsticks without saying a word, picked up a piece of river crab and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Sister, it's delicious, you eat it too." Su Qianchi's eyes lit up, and she took a piece of stuffing and handed it to Su Wan's mouth.

Su Wan opened her mouth and ate it, the salty, spicy and delicious taste invaded her taste buds, and she suddenly wanted to cry with happiness.

She didn't expect that she would have the chance to live a new life, and she could eat such delicious food, and it was all natural and pollution-free, so it was not too good.

Seeing that the two sisters were eating happily, Huang Youde was eager to try, but still worried.

Su Wan didn't urge him, but reached out to pick up a steamed river crab, untied the straw tied to it, broke off the crab legs one by one, and then opened the crab shell.

The bright yellow and oily crab roe was exposed, and Su Wan bit it down, her lips and teeth were full of fragrance, and she couldn't help sighing: "Oh, it smells so good."

Huang Youde couldn't bear it anymore, put down his chopsticks, took a river crab like Su Wan, opened the crab shell, and tried to take a small bite.

"Shopkeeper Huang, how does it taste?" Seeing that Huang Youde had finally eaten, Su Wan asked with a twitch of her lips.

"Well, the taste is really strange." Huang Youde tasted it carefully, and couldn't help but take another bite.

"Huangzhang refuses to try this again." Su Wan pointed to the plate of spicy fried river crab that Su Qian had eaten two-thirds of.

Huang Youde didn't hold anything back anymore, picked up a piece of chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

"Well, this is delicious." Huang Youde suddenly couldn't stop, and together with Su Qian, he ate up the plate of river crabs.

Su Wan sat on the sidelines and watched, smiling lightly and saying nothing. From this point of view, the deal is considered a success.

Huang Youde put down his chopsticks, smacked his lips unsatisfied, looked at Su Wan and asked, "I don't know what you plan to do with this business, Miss?"

Su Wan smiled lightly: "Well, please listen to my shopkeeper Huang."
