Chapter 185 The past brought back by crabs
Aunt Wang was very satisfied with Cuiping, her brows were very relaxed, and she praised Cuiping on the way, "How elegant, and the walking posture is also good-looking, without saying a word."
"Let the girls learn from you later. That's a skill from the palace."
Xin An quickly stopped her, "But don't. Then there will be a whole yard of people walking around without making any sound. It will be scary."
"We are not in a palace here. There is no need to be so nervous. We still need to be a little lively and lively."
Aunt Wang listened, but she also had other plans in mind. When she returned to Qiushiyuan, she began to tell Chunyang Chunlu and the others to restrain themselves and not to ask Aunt Cuiping to make fun of the people around the young lady who had no rules and those serious people. The appearance made everyone in the courtyard become nervous, and they were even thinking about whether to change their clothes to welcome the aunt who came from the palace.
Xin An found it funny, "Do whatever you need to do, don't learn too rigidly."
In her previous life, she cared too much about these things, which made herself and the people who followed her live a miserable life. In this life, she must live as freely as possible within the allowed range. "When she comes to our yard, Aunt Cuiping can only do as the Romans do."
If she and her people dare to teach her and her people to a machine, even those from the palace can't do it.
Chunlu and others quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and then they all laughed again. With the young lady supporting everyone, they were not afraid of anyone.
Dr. Zhao soon arrived, and Xin An asked her to look at her nails, "The nails that were dyed earlier were a little faded, and a new one has grown out. I have to dye them again today."
Dr. Zhao took out her bottles and jars and said that she would oil her hair for a while and said, "Nurture your hair first and then dye your nails. I got a more brilliant Melaleuca red a few days ago. I mixed it with alum and dyed it." The color is very nice. ”
When Cuiping arrived with the baggage, Xin'an's nails had just been dyed. When he learned that his residence was not here, he didn't delay. The first thing he did was to ask people to buy crabs, and at the same time, he asked for all the tools for eating crabs. She was fully prepared, but she was worried that Xin An would make a fool of herself at the crab banquet tomorrow.
"Today, let me first tell you, Madam, the rules of eating crabs in the capital."
Chunyang felt it was a bit redundant. Her girl grew up in Huaijiang. Every year after autumn, Huaijiang crabs are cooked. There are seven or eight ways to prepare crabs in any restaurant. How could her girl not know how to eat crabs?
"Follow Aunt Cuiping's instructions."
The rules for eating crabs are different between the two places. Xin An felt it was necessary to listen to it because she had never been to a crab feast in her previous life and she was not invited at all.
Chunyang went to get the money and went out. Chunlu took Cuiping to settle it. Dr. Zhao pretended not to hear anything and only ordered people to bring shampoo. She didn't wash her oiled hair. Can't fall asleep.
After half a day's work, Xin'an's hair was black and smooth, and her fingernails also changed color. Since the original color did not fade, she dyed it redder again, "Doctor Zhao's dyeing skills are even better. "
Doctor Zhao began to pack away her bottles and jars, "The young lady's nails are very long. They look good before they are dyed. A little bit of color makes them very eye-catching."
"The next dyeing can wait until half a month later."
Xin'an said that he would send someone to invite her when the time comes, "Thank you for your hard work today."
"It should."
Chunyang paid for today's hard work and sent Dr. Zhao out after some courtesy. No more complicated patterns, Aunt Cuiping came with someone carrying crabs as soon as she got up.
She calculated the time to get the crab out of the pot without any delay.
Xin'an sat down at the dining table. Cuiping asked Chunyang Chunlu and the two big girls to come and look at her, and said: "I heard that Huaijiang crab fat must be familiar to the second young lady. I want to eat fresh crabs, so I give them as a gift." There are not many crabs coming to the capital. We only eat that many crabs in a year. Once or twice, it is usually made into salt water crab, crab dumplings, sugar crab, crab porridge and hand-washed crab. Among them, salt water crab is the most troublesome to eat. If this dish is served tomorrow, there is no need for the second young lady to make it unless the host specially proposes it. Just go ahead and let the girl dismantle the crab."
As he said that, he picked up a crab and put it into the bone dish. He looked up at Chun Yang Chun Lu and said, "I'll take one apart for you to see, but you have to look carefully." There are also saltwater crabs in the Huaijiang River, and everyone who eats them does it themselves. According to personal habits of eating crabs, there are three or two tools for eating crabs, but compared to Cuiping's hand, it is a bit rough.
Especially the crab roe and crab paste. In Huaijiang, the crabs are split open and put directly into the mouth to suck. The food is fresh and sweet. When it comes to Aunt Cuiping, it has to be opened bit by bit on the plate. Not to mention Chunyang and Chunlu, it is Xin'an They all felt that the freshness and sweetness were gone with just such a toss.
It's hard to watch and not catchy.
As for the crab leg meat, it's interesting. Huaijiang uses a small roller to grind out the crab leg meat, while Cuiping uses the calf to poke the thigh. It's quite convenient, but after removing one, the meat is cold.
The meat took on a slightly fishy smell as soon as it cooled down. Xin An frowned after taking a brief taste, "Where did you buy this crab?"
"Now is not the time when crabs are at their most plump. If you want to send them to the capital in time for the season, you don't have to worry about them. Not to mention their small size, the taste is not as good."
Chunyang said that Liu Chang had to put in some effort to buy these crabs. “No crabs are raised around the capital.”
Xin'an lost interest in these crabs, thinking that the crabs in Huaijiang were still delicious in her memory. They were big and meaty and fresh and sweet. She hadn't tasted them for a long time. In the eyes of everyone, she was still in Huaijiang a few months ago, and only She and Tang Mo knew that she had not been back to the Huaijiang River for more than ten years.
But she remembered the appearance of Huaijiang crabs very clearly.
I remember that one year, in order for her to have a bite of Huaijiang crabs, her father brought 200 kilograms of crabs from the Huaijiang River and came by water. When he arrived in the capital, less than 30 kilograms of crabs were still alive, which she was very curious about. Tight, not only because the crabs are delicious, but also because the crabs come from her hometown and are full of her parents' longing for her.
Unfortunately, none of them fell into her mouth. They were all used by Tang Rong as a favor, leaving a few for him to share with Tao Yiran at night.

Now that I think about it, how cheap I was at that time, I should have picked up a knife and chopped that **** to death.
A mouthful of crab meat brought back her sadness, and her sadness slowly dissipated. Chunyang reacted instantly, "Young lady, are you homesick?"
Xin An smiled and sniffed, "I'm homesick, and I don't know when I can taste crabs from Huaijiang again."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. You can take it apart according to Aunt Cuiping's method and see if there is anything wrong. Aunt Cuiping can give you some advice."
Aunt Cuiping didn't say much, and she didn't ask much about the master. Besides, she had just arrived, and she only mentioned some tips on how to remove crabs in Chun Yang Chun Lu from time to time.
After dismantling several crabs in succession, Chun Yang and Chun Lu became more and more skilled in their techniques. However, the crabs they disassembled were thin, yellow, and thin, and Xin An was even less interested.
When Tang Mo came back, he saw several plates of crab meat and a pile of crab shells piled on the table.
"What is this doing?"
Xin'an joked casually, "I'm thinking of your hard work, so I'm going to make crab buns for you. I'll eat a few more at night."
"So caring?"
Tang Mo stepped forward happily, "The crab meat buns are very fresh. The last time I had them was last year. It's very troublesome to take them apart. It's hard work."
