Chapter 59: Autumn Crab Feast (5)
Zhang Weiwen was dressed in a slim robe, with long eyebrows and sideburns, and at first glance, he was as gentle as a jade and a humble gentleman, and Sister Ling suddenly had a good impression of Zhang Weiwen.
"This is Cousin Vivan, it's better to be famous than to meet, it's really a good talent." Sister Ling said, at this time, the old lady said, "Weiwen, this is your uncle's only daughter, and now she is the daughter-in-law of the eldest son of the Zheng Guo Mansion, and this Brother Su is your cousin's only son." β
In fact, Zhang Weiwen is not very good at chatting with women, so most of the time when this woman is talking, he pretends to listen very carefully, although others look at this person who is serious and respectful and listening to a few women talking, but in fact, Jinyu can see that he is in a daze.
But apparently Zhang Jinsu didn't see it, Zhang Jinsu crossed over and gave Zhang Weiwen a dish, and then smiled very gently, Zhang Weiwen was still in a daze, so he didn't eat the food, and suddenly Zhang Jinsu's face became very bad.
After all, it is not suitable for this man and woman to sit at the same table, Zhang Weiwen chatted with these elders for a while, and then left, Zhang Jinsu bit his mouth tightly, and looked at Zhang Weiwen very resentfully, Zhang Weiwen was inexplicable for a while.
"The main course is here!" Jin Yi said happily, and the old lady said happily, "You little glutton, you will eat it later." Mrs. Wang on the side stared at a pair of eyes, thinking that her granddaughter was really a fool and knew how to eat, what if she left a bad impression on Su'er?
Jasper led a group of maids and brought up several sets of eight very delicate crabs, waist round hammers, small square tables, tweezers, long-handled axes, spoons, long-handled forks, scrapers, and needles. It's all silver-plated, and there are different patterns on it, which is very pleasing to the eye.
Jinyu has eaten several crab feasts in her last life, and she has also worked it in private, in the Jinling realm, eating crabs is already a kind of elegant and chic food enjoyment, so most of the ladies in the general clan are very skilled in using this crab eight pieces, Jinyu once read a food miscellaneous book written above.
The crab is steamed and cooked and served on the table, steaming, the crab eater puts the crab on the small square table, uses round-tipped scissors to cut off two large claws and eight crab legs one by one, gently beats the waist hammer around the crab shell, and then splits the back shell and navel with a long-handled axe, and then takes a drill, tweezers, fork, hammer, or pick or clip or fork or knock, take out the golden butter bright crab roe or milky white sticky crab paste, take out the snow-white and tender crab meat, use each tool in turn, one function after another, as if playing a melody of frustration. When you scoop the dipping sauce with a small spoon and eat it with the shell, it is really a fairy-like pleasure with endless flavors.
Although it is very troublesome to eat crabs, it is better to be elegant and chic, and it is naturally extremely respected by all families in Jinling, but the new dynasty and the new establishment, the so-called upstarts have been planed up for a generation, that is, a mud leg that is shoeed in the soil, naturally it will not pay attention to so much, but this Zhang family has a long heritage, and the natural lady and the sons have practiced since childhood, but this Zheng Guogong Mansion is also born in the grass, and Brother Su was raised in the old country since he was a child, so naturally it will not be such a complicated thing. Jinyu and Jinsu are young ladies who are halfway monks, and this should naturally belong to this Jinyi, and the most standard and elegant appearance should be.
But unexpectedly, although this Zhang Jinsu is very unfamiliar, but he barely knows what to do, that Jinyu is even more evil, as if he has used it hundreds of times, he can't help but eat elegantly, and he eats quickly, and after a while, the crab has been eliminated.
Mrs. Wang wanted to let her granddaughter write a crab poem for the occasion, but before she could speak, she was preempted by Sister Ling.
"I heard that the young ladies in the house are all talented women, and my aunt is going to take a test, can you three write a poem on the theme of crabs?" Jinyu was a little helpless, the worst thing she was good at in her life was composing poetry, and Zhang Jinsu's best thing in her life was to write poetry in addition to pretending to be a white lotus.
Jinyi is also crooked.
"Yes, auntie." The three of them said in unison.
This Zhang Jinsu is worthy of being Zhang Jinsu, who opened his mouth and came to a poem that Jinyu didn't even understand.
The poem is.
"Gui Ai Tongyin sits and lifts, and Chang'an salivates and looks forward to Chongyang. There is no longitude and latitude on the road in front of you, and the spring and autumn sky is black and yellow. β
Sister Ling nodded again and again, and said, "Sister Su is worthy of being Xie Yuanlang's daughter, and she thinks well." Zhang Jinsu was overjoyed when she heard this, and said softly, "My cousin and aunt praised it falsely, my sister is amazing, and she was praised by everyone Wen at the beginning of the Jinling Poetry Club." Sister Ling looked at Jinyu when she heard this, and Jinyu suddenly felt Alexander, and she couldn't wait to kill Zhang Jinsu, the goblin.
Writing poetry or something, she is really not good at it, at this time the old lady said, "My daughters of Weiwen, one is more powerful than the other, have you ever heard of the name of Jinling talented woman, that is, we Jinyu." β
Jinyu was stunned, when did she become a talented woman in Jinling, why didn't she know?
"Yangcheng Lake crabs are the most famous, and fame will eventually lead to disaster.
The cooking and killing cause is self-inflicted, and the fat belly is big and rampant. β
At this time, a poem that her father often said came out of Jinyu's head, and she read it out.
This Jinyi seems to have been inspired by Jinyu's ironic poems, and she actually read a sentence.
"People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and they are showing their teeth and dancing their claws."
Jinyu, who was eating crabs, was choked all of a sudden, and she looked at Zhang Jinyi
"Third sister, you're not talking about me, are you?" This can amuse the old lady, even Mrs. Wang, who has always been very strict, can't help but cover her mouth and laugh, Sister Ling can't laugh straight up, and even a person like Brother Su with Yan sΓΉ in his name can't help twitching the corners of his mouth.
"What do you call me, isn't that a poem you made yourself, I'm just borrowing it, alas, but when you say that, it's true." Jinyi said, she tilted her head, looked at her cousin with a broken expression, and grimaced very unkindly.
Su Ge'er swore that he had never seen such a strange girl.
"Hey, these two sisters, they are all funny, they are special, and they are said to relieve the old lady's boredom." Mrs. Wang said, she looked at Sister Ling, and saw that Sister Ling did not have any expression on her face, so Mrs. Wang thought, and after a while, she ended her tone of exploring her daughter.
Halfway through this crab feast, Zhang Jinsu excused himself to sit here and couldn't see it, but in fact, this Jinyu and Jinyi sat with the old lady. Zhang Jinsu was in the back row, and neither the old lady nor Brother Su could be seen
The old lady who was watching the play didn't notice her, Zhang Jinsu bit her lower lip, stomped her foot and left
Today, the limelight was robbed by Jinyu and Jinyi, this Jinsu went back with a cold face, Su Rou was very sad because she couldn't go, and after coming back, seeing her daughter's expression, she was also angry in her heart.
"Su'er, how is it, but I got my aunt's eyes."
"No, it's all messed up by those two dead girls." Zhang Jinsu stirred his handkerchief fiercely.
