As soon as the new year passed, Li Silversmith's workshop was idle, and it was time to give everyone annual leave.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Li silversmith accompanied his father and mother to visit relatives in the county.

In addition to Master Yue and Master Qian, Li Qingshan, the youngest son of Li Silversmith, and two girls, Diancui and Qian Xiaohong, are also three women from neighboring villages. As soon as they heard that they were going to join together to eat noodles, everyone was unanimously interested.

Qian and Master Yue each took out five dollars of silver, Li Qingshan took out one tael, and the other three women each took out one penny, a total of one tael and eight cents, and Diancui and Xiaohongben also wanted to take out one penny and eight cents, but they were stopped by everyone, and the two of them chopped wood and made a fire, and the other cleaned their hands and waited for the ingredients.

Master Qian and Li Qingshan took the silver they had saved, and in less than half an hour's effort, they got half a pig, two ducks, two chickens, two live fish, two live crabs, a basket of eggs, a small basket of eggs, spinach, mushrooms, garlic sprouts, green and white radish, green onions, garlic, fennel, peppercorns, and a large bag of ginger and pepper...... In addition, two jars of Jinhua wine, pine nut and praline pretzel and a bamboo basket, and finally there were three copper plates left, and I bought a sugar gourd for each of the two little girls.

Half of the pig is cut into thick slices by Master Yue, steamed in white water, boiled and slightly sprinkled with salt, and chopped green onions are the most popular meat dishes of the countrymen.

In addition, a few women chopped minced meat and white radish puree to make small wontons; two ducks, one stir-fried over high heat, and one used to make a mess; The chicken is better said, one hangs the shredded chicken soup, and the other lets Qian Xiaohong take it to the stove to roast; A woman took the live fish and killed it, ready to be steamed.

Seeing that there was no one to take care of the crab, she took it to the well to wash.

"Sister Diancui, don't move, this crab claw is very fierce, I'll help you." Li Qingshan was over fifteen years old, he was a young man with a good appearance, he went to school for a few years when he was young, and read a few sage books, but the master felt that he was not a reading material, so he returned to the family and took care of the shop's business. He is a beautiful person, and he is often teased and joked about by Master Yue and several other women in Su Rili. He wasn't annoyed, and his face wasn't red, but since he came to make some emeralds, when Master Yue teased him again, the roots of his ears often turned red.

Li Qingshan took the crab basket in Diancui's hand, and poured out the crabs with teeth and claws inside, who knew that as soon as the crabs arrived outside, they climbed into the well, Li Qingshan hurriedly grabbed one and ran another, sweating profusely.

Hey, where would the child do this, make a mess, Dian Cui shook his head in his heart, but said Brother Li, rest next to you, I'll catch it, said that he quickly caught these crabs back to the basket.

Li Qingshan's cheeks were red, and he didn't say anything for a while, only hit the well water and Diancui, and Diancui washed the crabs, then put on the cutting board, took out a kitchen knife, and chopped the live crabs one by one.

After the raw crab is chopped, Diancui points sesame oil in the pot again, boils it, waits for it to cool, grinds fennel, sand kernels, peppercorns, ginger and pepper into the powder, and then adds chopped green onions, salt and vinegar to mix the ingredients, pours the broken crab into it and mixes well, and it is a fresh and delicious cold dish.

From chopping crabs to seasonings, Li Qingshan has been watching in a daze, and the girl Diancui has been doing things seriously, her cheeks seem to be bright, and she can't take her eyes off it, Li Qingshan thought that the roots of her ears were red again.
