Li Xiaoqi also didn't have the heart to go shopping, he didn't squint, he walked quickly, and went straight to the crab on the upper floor of Invite Yue, Su Zicheng followed behind with some tears and laughter, a crab can make her greedy like this? I had to go straight to the Invitation Moon Tower.

The whole upstairs was wrapped up, and it had been washed and wiped clean, Li Xiaoqi sat next to Su Zicheng, his index finger moved, turned his head to look at the tea and rice and asked the doctor, "What are the ways to eat your crabs?" Is there a crab stuffed orange? ”

"Hui Ye, there are steaming, frying, frying, making soup, a total of seventeen kinds, crab stuffed orange, Hui Ye, the small one has to go down and ask the bell head." Dr. Cha Fan replied cautiously, and Li Xiaoqi waved his hand: "Go and ask, if you don't know how to do it, let the bell head come over, I will teach him now, eat crabs, the first chrysanthemum is steamed, and the second is this crab stuffed with orange." Dr. Cha Rice Drink Crisply agreed, exited the room, Su Zicheng drank tea, looked at Li Xiaoqi and asked, "Crab stuffed orange?" This name is interesting, where is it eaten? It's the first time I've heard of it. ”

"This is the way to eat in the south, there is the freshness of crab and the sweetness of orange, you will know it when you eat it." Li Xiaoqi explained vaguely, while speaking, Dr. Cha Fan led the bell head into the house, and the bell head nervously bowed to Su Zicheng who was sitting on the top, and then looked at Li Xiaoqi to the end, Li Xiaoqi looked at the bell head and asked bluntly: "Have you ever made crab stuffed oranges?" ”

"Hui Ye, it's the first time I've heard of it."

"It's easy, I'll teach you, are there any fresh oranges?"

"Hui Ye, there is!"

"This crab stuffed orange is simple, choose the best fat male crab, steam and remove the meat, put ginger juice and put a little orange juice to stir-fry over high heat, put it out to cool, and then take more than a dozen pieces of pig fat meat cooked and chopped, take two egg whites, fresh water chestnuts chopped into dices, mix the crab meat and pork puree, water chestnuts, egg liquid, put salt, ginger juice, pour a little wine, put it in the orange, the orange, cut off the top, dig out the meat, don't dig too clean, leave some orange flesh is the best, and then tie the top with a bamboo skewer, steam it for two quarters of an hour, if there is a fresh chrysanthemum pad under the orange, it will be better." Li Xiaoqi said in detail, listened attentively, bowed down and agreed to retreat.

Su Zicheng listened carefully to Li Xiaoqi talking about the crab stuffed orange method, his eyes flashed with surprise and puzzlement, but he didn't ask a word.

The dishes were all over the table, Li Xiaoqi was only concentrating on peeling a fat crab, Su Zicheng frowned and looked at Li Xiaoqi who was peeling with interest, coughed lightly and said, "Let the little guys peel it for you, this crab smell is not easy to wash in your hands." ”

"Eating crabs is to do it yourself is interesting, if you don't want to peel it yourself, then you have to wait to eat crab stuffed oranges, in fact, crabs are good in every way to eat, let's eat them all the way when we have time!" Li Xiaoqi didn't raise his head, answered Su Zicheng's words with great interest, and then turned his head and instructed the little guy standing next to him: "See if there are chrysanthemum leaves and mung bean noodles, if you have some to take, wash your hands later." ”

"It's ready." The little guy hurriedly bowed down and replied, Su Zicheng shook his head with a smile, waved his hand lightly, Dongping quietly signaled the small servants waiting in the house to withdraw from the house, and stood at the door, leaving only Nanning and Xi'an waiting in the house, Su Zicheng slowly shook the folding fan, looked at Li Xiaoqi and asked, "There are still some people on the mountain in Taiping Mansion?" ”

"Well, my third sister-in-law and her younger brother Zhang Tiemu, as well as the third aunt of the Fan family, the sixth aunt, the eldest sister-in-law and the fourth sister-in-law, a total of four, are all outside the Taiping Mansion, and I have asked Jiang Shuncai and Cheng Wang to pick them up before coming, and they will be directly connected to Kaiping Mansion." Li Xiaoyi's mind turned quickly, while eating the crab seriously, he seemed to answer very casually, Su Zicheng said 'um', Li Xiaoqi concentrated on picking out a clip of leg meat and ate it, and then continued: "There is also the shopkeeper Sun, the uncle of my third sister-in-law who has not passed the door and the brother and daughter-in-law who have not passed the door, is the original shopkeeper of Wisteria House, doing business in Taiping Mansion, opening a small tea shop, business is good, I asked people to bring him some silver, so that he can do business in Taiping Mansion with peace of mind, no need to come." ”

Su Zicheng saw that Li Xiaoqi did not hide it, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and laughed at her series of 'no door' words: "The lady of the Zhang family is Li Erhuai's daughter-in-law who has not passed the door?" ”

"Well, Fan Niangzi is my eldest brother's daughter-in-law who didn't pass the door, Sun Family's Lady is Zhang Tiemu's daughter-in-law who didn't pass the door, Sun Niangzi's father was originally the big leader of Bijia Dongshan, and later Dongshan was cleaned up by Yuan Dashuai's training, and Sun Da Leader didn't escape, so our two families were together." Li Xiaoqi ate crab legs one by one, and frankly talked about the origin of the East Mountain of the Beacon and the West Mountain of the Beacon, Su Zicheng nodded, but pulled the topic back to the Taiping Mansion: "Shopkeeper Sun followed Yan Qingshan to the Taiping Mansion?" ”

"Well, because of the incident when Yuan Dashuai ran out of Wisteria House, Shopkeeper Sun, Yan Mansion Yin, and Master Song ate and hung up together, and everyone took pity on each other, so they went to Taiping Mansion together, Master Song was frightened and went home to care for the elderly." Li Xiaoqi explained in detail, Su Zicheng laughed lightly, looked at Li Xiaoyi, and said helplessly: "Eat and hang? Didn't you catch Yuan Dashuai and drive him out at that moment? ”

"I didn't catch it, I picked it, he abandoned the army and fled, passed under the Beacon Mountain, and was picked back by me and Lu Feng, I wanted to kill him, but then I thought about it after all, I was a member of the court, I was cowardly, I really didn't dare to kill, and I didn't dare to let go, I really had no choice but to store it in Wisteria House first, who knows or caused trouble, it can be seen that this thing can't be picked casually." Li Xiaoqi explained lightly.

"Are you afraid that he will flee back to the capital and find out that Wu Guifei's uncle was killed by you and planted it to him, which is not good for you?" Su Zicheng said slowly, Li Xiaoqi shook his head again and again: "I didn't think about it so much, the surname Wu was killed by Lu Feng, not me, how can I have the kung fu to think so much, and I can't eat enough." ”

Su Zicheng smiled and didn't argue with her much: "Yan Qingshan has been promoted to the throne of Taiping Mansion for a long time, and the business of Shopkeeper Sun in Taiping Mansion is easy to do." ”

"Well, it's better to have someone take care of me, so I didn't let him come back."

"A small tea shop is limited in the end, since you can trust him so much, I will ask Nanning to send you 20,000 taels of silver when you go back, you find a proper person to send him over, find a suitable place, open a wine shop, Yan Qingshan is Wu Guifei's family, let him give him a few dry shares, and I will arrange arrangements for him to go up a liter." Su Zicheng smiled and arranged, Li Xiaoqi paused, and simply agreed: "Okay." ”

While speaking, Dongping raised his voice at the door, and the bell head personally held a few big oranges with orange color and chrysanthemum patterns carved outside, Li Xiaoqi hurriedly threw the crab legs in his hand, raised his hand and greeted: "Take one to me first, I'll taste the taste, right." ”

Nanning picked up a silver plate, put it in front of Li Xiaoyi, opened the orange lid on it, and a fresh crab fragrance gushed out, Li Xiaoqi squinted his eyes and sniffed it vigorously, nodded and praised: "It tastes good." As he spoke, he picked up a small silver spoon and stirred it twice in the orange, put a spoonful in his mouth, tasted it slowly for a while, turned his head to look at the bell and praised: "You really have a bit of spirituality in cooking, that's the taste." ”

The bell head let out a sigh, raised his hand to wipe the sweat, Li Xiaoqi took another bite, and said with a smile: "The orange flavor is a little stronger, the water chestnuts are cut too small, a little bigger, it is good to be able to bite crisply, everything else is good." ”

"Reward him." Su Zicheng took a bite of crab stuffed oranges, listened to Li Xiaoyi's words, nodded approvingly, turned his head and ordered Xi'an, Xi'an took a small silver bill, handed it to the bell head, the bell head was surprised, took the silver, knelt on the ground and kowtowed thanks, got up and retreated.

Li Xiaoqi stared enviously at the silver coin in the hand of the bell, she had also earned such a silver coin once. Su Zicheng ate a crab stuffed orange, picked up a cup of hot rice wine and drank it slowly, Li Xiaoqi washed his hands, slowly drank half a glass of wine, his face was flushed, he hurriedly put down the wine, raised his hand and stroked his forehead: "I don't have the amount of alcohol, I can't drink it." ”

Nanning made a cup of hot tea and sent it up, Li Xiaoqi drank a few sips of tea, stood in front of the window, blowing a cool breeze, looking at the bustling street below, Su Zicheng followed and stood in front of the window, slowly shaking the folding fan, looking at Li Xiaoqi who was bent on the windowsill, the mystery in his heart became more and more condensed, a country girl, where did this insight come from? This crab stuffed orange is not something that ordinary people can afford, what kind of people can raise such a clever and knowledgeable girl? Her elder brothers are just the children of the common people.

Li Xiaoqi blew the cool breeze for a while, the heat on his face gradually faded, turned his head to look at Su Zicheng, who was silently looking at him, and said with a smile: "Let's go shopping, where do you want to go?" I'll go with you! ”

Su Zicheng raised his eyebrows, and he couldn't laugh or cry when she said: "There is a pearl and jade shop in this Rucheng, and there are a few good things occasionally, let's take a look." ”

"Good! I'm going to love to see jewelry, so let's go. Li Xiaoqi happily agreed. The two went downstairs, along the lively street, turned a few corners, and entered a quiet alley, two small black lacquer doors at the head of the alley, which looked a little old, were half opened, and one was wearing a dark gray cocoon silk gown, about forty years old, not fat or thin, looking at the extremely inconspicuous middle-aged man standing at the door, seeing Su Zicheng from a distance, he hurriedly knelt on the ground, and the black lacquer door behind him quietly opened open.

Su Zicheng walked past the middle-aged man and raised his hand: "Get up, Shopkeeper Luo came over in person?" What's the good stuff? Li Xiaoqi followed Su Zicheng out of the courtyard half a step, cautiously looked around, there were seven or eight young men in green clothes and green hats kneeling outside the door, turning the shadow wall, the ancient trees in the yard were towering, except for the trees, there were no other flowers and shrubs, lined with pink walls and green tiles, which looked refreshing and clean. Shopkeeper Luo half-bowed, led sideways, passed through the hanging flower door, and went straight into the main house.
