After returning home, Alain's sister-in-law was about to go out, and when she saw that Chunyu was back, she said to Chunyu with a smile: "My brother has come, sister, you can rest first, he said that he was going out to talk to his classmates, and he came over to catch up with lunch in a while." ”

"Sister-in-law, but go to the street to sell things?" Chunyu hurriedly asked, casually put down the small basket of mulberry leaves and the stick of the too small crayfish basket in his hand, and Xiaoyuan and Xiaogong also happily put the basket and bucket aside.

"Yes, I wondered if it would be too monotonous to have only pork at home, and besides, I couldn't make big dishes except for snacks. So eat and think about it......" Alain's sister-in-law said, but she was a little embarrassed.

"I'll help, my family used to run a restaurant, and my craft was on the table. We went to the street to buy some ingredients and came back, and it just so happened that we found some good food, right? Chunyu said, looking at Xiaoyuan and Xiaogong, the three of them all smiled mysteriously, but they looked at Sister-in-law Alan confused for a while.

"What's delicious?" Sister-in-law Alan said that she wanted to look at the basket behind them in Chunyu, but Xiaogong took the lead and said, "It's crayfish, and my aunt said that crayfish are delicious." ”

"It's weird, how do I only know that there are small shrimps, what is a crayfish?" Sister-in-law Alan asked strangely.

"It's the vices you are talking about, our hometown is called crayfish, it's delicious, you don't know it......" Chunyu said and was afraid that Alain's sister-in-law would ask more, so she quickly stepped forward and grabbed Alain's arm and said: "It's about to be dinner, and if you don't prepare, it's too late." ”

"Oh, really, then let's hurry up, I don't understand it anyway, I'll give you a hand today, but let's say it first, you just need to move your mouth." Sister-in-law Alan said with a smile.

"That's for sure, but today's lunch should be hearty, why don't you ask Aunt Liu to come back and eat together?" Chunyu asked with a smile, Aunt Liu was one of the best embroiderers here when she was young, and then she couldn't embroider when she was old, and her daughter Xiaohuan did not inherit her craftsmanship, and then in order to make money, she went to an embroidery workshop to be a master, and she went all day every day, and came back after dark, which was also hard.

"Naturally, I'm going to call, although my mother-in-law has been a little biased towards me these days, but if my brother comes, she won't say anything." Sister-in-law Alan said.

Chunyu nodded and didn't ask any more, but explained to Xiaoyuan and Xiaogong before leaving, Chunyu knew that although these two children were young, they didn't help Alain's sister-in-law deal with crabs, so they felt that they could handle crayfish. So he told them to put some crayfish into the water tank and raise them first. The rest of the food is taken out and cleaned, the head, the entrails and the shell are removed, the little sandbag is removed, and then the middle of the tail is pulled out, and a thin intestine-like thing is pulled out. When that's done, just soak it in warm water.

Just wait for the spring rain and the two of them to go to the street to buy the ingredients, and they can make delicious crayfish.

Sister-in-law Alan doesn't pay much attention to eating on weekdays, so she hasn't bought much of the seasoning at home except for the onions, ginger and garlic she grows. After Chunyu went to the grocery store with her, she bought some of the peppers, star anise, tangerine peel, and peppercorns. Then I bought some fresh vegetables and the like.

It's just that when they met in front of an inn on the way home, they saw someone called "sister", and Alain's sister-in-law was very happy when she heard the voice, and turned around to see that it was indeed her own brother.

Chunyu hadn't turned back yet, but he also heard a familiar voice, so he hurriedly turned around and saw a familiar person. The man was dressed in a cyan Confucian shirt and a square scarf on his head, as if he was still dressed as a student, but he was not Guo Lin who he hadn't seen for a long time!

"Oh, Brother Guo, you see it's ......" Standing with Guo Lin is also a person dressed as a scholar, but Chunyu is a little familiar, thinking about it carefully, it turned out to be Guo Lin's classmate who lived with him when he lived in Zhuangyuan Lane.

"......" Guo Lin was just shirking his friend's enthusiasm and didn't want to go to his sister's house to disturb him, but this person couldn't say anything, so he had to let him taste the crab roe soup dumpling. was shirking, but he saw his friend calling a woman sister, and then before he could say hello to his sister, he saw him pointing to the person next to his sister and said in surprise.

Only then did Guo Lin take a closer look, and he actually looked at Chunyu, and both of them were stunned.

"Brother Lin Zi, why are you here?"

"Chunyu, why are you here?"

The two of them asked in unison, a little embarrassed for a while, after all, she believed that Guo Lin also knew about Chunyu, so she felt that she couldn't face it for a while.

Guo Lin looked at Chunyu quietly and found that it had been more than a month since she left the capital, and the last time he went to see her when she was sick and unconscious, she was haggard and pitiful. But now that I see it, she looks good when she is full of energy, and it is good to want to come out for a walk.

"Chenggui, do they know?" Seeing this, Alain's sister-in-law hurriedly asked her younger brother.

"Acquaintance, friend." Sister-in-law's brother replied, and then frowned and said, "Sister, how many times have I told you, I will be called in front of my classmates, I will be humble, you don't have to forget it." ”

"Virtue, it's not okay for my sister to call you by your name, from childhood to adulthood, I can't change my mouth." Sister-in-law Alan said with a smile, and didn't say anything more about his brother. Her maiden name is Xu, and this brother is naturally called Xu Chenggui, but he always feels that his name is cheesy, so he always calls himself Xu Chengqian.

Then Chunyu calmed down for a while, and then said that he was now living in the Liu family for a while.

"Brother Su Qian, look at this is a fate to meet thousands of miles away, just to go to my sister's house, it seems that you are blessed today." Xu Chengqian listened to Chunyu's words, and then hurriedly said to Guo Lin.

Guo Lin also said that he had met thousands of miles away, and he was in a very good mood for some reason, so he nodded and agreed. Although Chunyu doesn't really want to go over, it doesn't mean that she is also annoyed when she sees Guo Lin, so she is happy to see Guo Lin here.

So the group of four people went to Liu's house, and when they arrived at the lake, Alain's sister-in-law propped up a small boat and carried the four of them to Houtang Village. They went to the town of Jinlan Town before, but the place where the Liu family was located was called Houtang Village, which was also known by Chunyu after more than ten days of living in.

After returning home, Alain's sister-in-law saw that the weather was very good, and it was neither hot nor cold, so she asked her brother to carry the Eight Immortals table outside with her, put up a bench, and prepare to eat outside for a while.

Chunyu went to the stove fire first to get busy, and Alain's sister-in-law prepared a qiē in the courtyard, so she hurried back to the stove and gave Chunyu a hand. Both of them are good people, so it only took half an hour to prepare six dishes, one soup and two snacks. They are: fish-flavored roasted shrimp, steamed crayfish, braised crayfish, stir-fried meat with garlic, stir-fried cabbage, vinegar and radish slices, dim sum is the Liu family's best soup bun, and their glutinous rice sugar cake here, the staple food is naturally rice, and the soup is made into a tofu miscellaneous fish soup.

Waiting for the dish to be served, just right; Aunt Liu is also back, and naturally she is also kind with a smile on her face. Everyone was happy to eat, although there was a chat halfway, Chunyu avoided all the things she didn't want to mention, Guo Lin also understood, so he helped her block some words without a trace.
