Chapter 301: Seafood has to be as good as the sea
In ancient times, a country was not as big as in later generations, so even the southernmost part did not have as much temperature difference between the north and the south as in later generations. When Lin'an is winter, the southernmost side is definitely not as cold as here, but it is also snowy, and it can also be frozen.
Therefore, every time it is the time of the Chinese New Year, there will be people from the south to the north to transport seafood, mainly fish and shrimp.
Of course, not everyone can enter Lin'an City, and because it is too far away from the South China Sea, the fish and shrimp in the hands of traders cannot be sold here. If people in Lin'an want to eat fish and shrimp from the South China Sea, they can only ask someone to go to the relationship, or ask relatives who have returned to Beijing from the south to bring them over.
The South China Sea is the shoreless sea, there is a large camp in the Northern Qi Dynasty outside the city on the border of the shoreless sea, the soldiers are rotated once a year, and there is always a group of soldiers who return to Beijing in the New Year, and the camp also allows them to bring some seafood to their relatives in Beijing.
Therefore, people in Beijing know that they can eat Hainan fish and shrimp around the New Year, and they are very much looking forward to it.
After listening to these things, Mama Ji told Ye Wenyan while walking, and after she heard it, she asked Mama Ji: "I heard that there is a sea array on the shoreless sea, and it is foggy all year round, how can you still fish and shrimp?" Can anyone go out to sea? ”
Mama Ji smiled, "How can anyone go to sea!" Only we Northern Qi people can, because we have emperors in Northern Qi. It was the emperor who used magic to cover the sea area within a radius of fifty miles, so as to ensure that the fishermen of Northern Qi did not worry about eating and using it, and the wind and waves were calm. As for the nationals of other countries, they are absolutely not allowed to enter the sea. ”
Ye Wenyan nodded, so it was. She also thought that the shoreless sea could be navigable, and wondered whether to build a big ship and try to see if she could reach the west coastline. That's where Ah Heng is, and if she can see Ah Heng, she will definitely jump for joy.
There is also Ah Ran, Qingqing said that Ah Ran is also here, and she changed her life against the sky, but in which direction will Ah Ran be?
Qingliangyuan is not far from the courtyard where she lives, and it is only a short walk away. Mu Shi and Ye Qingmei were both there, but Ye Feiyu was not at home, Ye Qingmei pulled her and said: "My brother went to the Li Family Medical Center, he said that since the scientific examination is hopeless, and he has never practiced martial arts, it is better to do something meaningful than to be idle at home." My brother said you were going to give me a shop, and he said it was the one next to the hospital. Yan'er I've thought about it, we are sisters, and it's not interesting to push back and forth politely, and it seems to be raw, so if you give me the shop, I'll continue, and then let my brother open up the two shops and open a medical clinic together. ”
Ye Wenyan was very happy, "Sister, it's right that you can think like this, we don't need to be polite between us, the more polite we are, the more we will be angry, but what you ask for, what you give is the best." If you're always polite to me, then I'm embarrassed to start begging you for something, right? She put Ye Qingmei's arm together, "I am the youngest in the family, and I will expect my brother and sister to take care of me and love me in the future, and I will not be polite to you at all at that time." ”
Ye Qingmei smiled when she heard this, "I just like your little appearance of being coquettish when you have nothing to do, just like when you were a child, you always pestered me and my brother to secretly take you out to buy candy, and at that time I thought, how good it would be if my little sister could always be like this." ”
"Yes, sister, don't worry, there will be a place for you in the future."
Mu Shi was also happy to see the two sisters almost happy, and stretched out his hand to greet them: "Hurry up and go into the house to eat dumplings, it's cold outside, what do you have to say in the house." Yan'er, you're back, we haven't eaten at noon, so we're waiting for you. After speaking, he said to Mama Ji, "Mama will take them to eat too!" I'll keep the same stuffing for you! ”
Danno stepped forward with a smile and said enthusiastically to Shen'er and Xiangdong, "I didn't eat either, let's go together." There are shrimp roe in the dumplings today, and they are so fresh that I have never eaten them before. ”
Shen'er was too hungry to be greedy, and Xiangdong was a little restrained, "Aren't we supposed to wait for the masters?" Besides, I can't bear to give up such a precious thing, so I'd better leave it to my masters! ”
Danno smiled, "This is the master's reward, and receiving the reward is thanks, you are welcome." Mama Ji, you said, isn't this the reason? ”
Mama Ji also smiled and nodded, "That's the reason." What's more, shrimp is not a precious thing, if you like to eat it, Ming'er will go and get some back. If you often want to eat it in the future, the old body can also think of a way. ”
Xiangdong heard her say this, and he knew in his heart, Quanzhou Ji is the slave of the emperor, what can he want?
So a few maids happily saluted and thanked Muhammad, and followed Dan Nuo and Mama Ji to the side hall for dinner.
Ye Wenyan was dragged by Mu Shi to the small flower hall, and a small table was sat around three people, not big or small.
I like this kind of family atmosphere very much, because it allows her to find the feeling of the night house in her previous life. The Ye family is not as indifferent as the Bai family, but it is also not as harmonious as the Feng family. There are also disputes in the night family, but the disputes are all in the side branches and relatives, and the core people who live in the mansion are all of one heart, they all listen to their grandfather's words, and they also believe in her, the young head of the family.
It's a pity that she doesn't have a younger brother in the Ye family, and there is no one who can follow the oil bottle behind her ass all the time like the Night Fall City in her previous life. She has always regarded Quan Qingcheng as a substitute for Ye Chengcheng, and also regarded Mu as a substitute for her mother in her previous life, including the late Night Old General, who is also the role of a grandfather in her heart.
It's not that she's sentimental, she just doesn't want to forget the places she once lived and the people she used to live with. She is afraid of the change of time and space, and one day she will treat all kinds of her past life as a dream, and she can't tell whether it is Zhuang Zhou's dream of butterflies or butterflies and butterflies. She didn't want to be lost, she didn't want to forget, she had to keep remembering that both planes and planes had been here.
"The dumplings made by my mother are very delicious." She stared at the large piece of shrimp meat that was clearly visible in the dumplings and sighed, "To eat dumplings, they have to be filled with seafood, which is better than meat." If only we lived by the sea, there was a lot of seafood in the sea that could be used for cooking. ”
Ye Qingmei asked her, "What is seafood?" ”
She said: "It's the creatures of the sea, such as fish, shrimp, crabs, etc., which are collectively called seafood. ”
Ye Qingmei asked again: "Is the crab the kind that has a lot of legs and walks sideways?" I saw it drawn in a book, and it looked strange and scary. I heard that its shell is very hard, and if you wrap the meat in it, you have to break the shell if you want to eat the meat inside. We all call it crab roe, and this is the first time we've heard of it being called crab. Yan'er, you chose this name? ”
"It's not." Ye Wenyan shook his head, "I also heard others call me like this, so I called it down." Hasn't my sister ever eaten crabs? Think about it again, "Is it because Lin'an City is too far from the sea for the crabs to be transported?" ”
"It should be!" Ye Qingmei is also not sure of this reason, "Anyway, I have only read it in books, and I have never eaten it." ”
Mu Shi listened to them talk about this, so he took the words: "The nearest sea to the capital is also three hundred miles away, which is too far. Crab roe have to be caught and eaten immediately, because they will spoil after a long time, and they will cause people to eat problems. In addition, the nearest sea area is not large, and it freezes in winter, so there is no way to fish even in winter. However, there are often people in the South China Sea who eat crab roe, but the road is too far, and no one dares to eat it if it is frozen. ”
Ye Wenyan nodded, "So that's the case, that's a pity, the crab is delicious, the paste yellow inside can also be made into crab paste, put more salt, and it can be stored for a long time." She said that she was a little drooling, everything in Lin'an City is good, but it is hard to eat seafood, she has not eaten a serious seafood since she came to this place, and she is really hungry.
Another dumpling was stuffed into her mouth, and Ye Qingmei laughed at her: "Are you eating with a vengeance?" It's craving for seafood, so why not satisfy your cravings with the shrimp in it? It's a pity that there aren't many shrimps, and the South China Sea is too far away, so it's not easy to bring them back. But it is said that the seafood has to be the best in the South China Sea, and it is big enough and delicious. Yan'er, if you have the opportunity to go there in the future, you must eat enough. ”
In fact, the original owner has never eaten much seafood, at most it is fish and shrimp and the like, which was brought back by the old general when he was alive.
But at that time, the family ate a big pot of rice, and the family sat in the flower hall to eat together, even if the old general loved her again, he just gave her the shrimp he had been allocated to eat, and he couldn't let her rob others.
After all, I only eat it once a year, and I eat at most two or three at most, and how much meat can be left after the shrimp is removed and the shell is peeled? So gradually, I stopped eating.
As for the crab, the original owner really hasn't eaten it, which Mu Shi knows well, and Ye Qingmei also knows it.
But the two of them tacitly agreed that neither of them pierced her, nor did they inquire about when she had eaten.
The family talked and laughed like no one else, and Ye Qingmei also taught her how to pick the dumplings with the most shrimp meat.
Ye Wenyan felt that this was very good, she did not deliberately hide it, and even revealed many flaws at the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet. Mu Shi and Ye Qingmei did not deliberately seek the truth, and even after some speculation, they treated her as a family.
This is the result she wants the most, and it should be the result they want the most! The original owner could not return, and on the night of the first seven sacrifices, she had given Muhammad the opportunity to cry for her beloved daughter. Crying is goodbye, and in the future, she will live this life instead of the original owner. Whether it is the joy of the past or the ups and downs in the future, everything is carried by her instead of the original owner.
Mu and Ye Qingmei, including Ye Feiyu, are all smart people who know the trade-offs and know how to be truly nostalgic.
"If there is a chance in the future, let's go together." She said to Mu Shi, "As long as my mother nods, it is too easy to get out of this Yipin General's Mansion." I know that my mother can't let go of the past years in my heart, so I don't urge it, I just want my mother to know that my daughter can protect you, and I can also protect my brother and sister. All the places in the world, as long as you say you want to see them, we can go immediately. The crabs in the South China Sea will be more delicious if we eat them as a family. ”
Halfway through the meal, the people came back, but they were not as happy as when they first went to eat dumplings.
Ye Wenyan was stunned for a moment, and asked them, "What's the matter?" ”
