Chapter 148: Xiaoman Has Changed!
Lu Jin entered the courtyard, put down the two bags of hairy peaches he was carrying, and his eyes were full of resentment, "Xiaoman, your feet are really strong."
Lin Xiaoman hung his head and didn't look at him, "Who told you to lie and deceive people?"
"Everything I said is true, I have never told Xiao Man a lie, if Xiao Man has any misunderstanding about me, you just ask, I will tell you the truth." Lu Jin almost raised his hand and swore an oath.
Lin Xiaoman thought for a while and said, "Then tell me, who are you in your family?"
Lu Jin said, "Is it a subordinate? If so, I'll have someone send me a roster."
"Why did you send the roster? What's up? You don't even know all of your own people?"
Seeing Lu Jinzhen, he nodded, Lin Xiaoman was speechless for a while, how many people are in the family?
"You don't need the roster, you just say what you recognize."
Lu Jin counted with his hands for a while, from the little guy next to him, to the old Liu who was the gatekeeper, there were more than thirty of them, but this is still what he said?
Until he couldn't count it anymore, Lin Xiaoman said, "You missed the count of Brother Qingshu."
Lu Jin smiled, "He is my companion, not mine."
Lin Xiaoman wanted to say that most of the companions of the sons' families in the city were also the little maids in the family, why wasn't his companion his family?
But thinking that some big families in the capital will let side branches, or rely on their own families to send offspring of the same age to accompany the young masters, maybe Qingshu followed Lu Jin in this way.
Lin Xiaoman said, "Having said so much, you haven't counted your father and mother and your brothers and sisters."
Lu Jin said: "They passed away very early, and the brothers and sisters also have their own mansions, and I didn't live in one place since I was young."
Lin Xiaoman was a little embarrassed, he couldn't imagine that although his family was rich and glorious, he was also a poor person.
But in this way, he didn't mention Mrs. Qing, did he deliberately conceal it?
When Lin Xiaoman was thinking about whether to ask directly, Lu Jin said again: "I also have a nurse, who also lived in the house in the early years. If you see her in the future, you can just call her Mrs. Qing."
Lin Xiaoman was stunned, was Mrs. Qing his nurse? She and Erhu have always misunderstood Lu Jin, what a big joke.
Lin Xiaoman nodded hurriedly, "Mmmm, I wrote it down."
At this time, she was in a very happy mood, the kind of thing that had been pressed in her heart for a long time, and she was suddenly relieved and relaxed, and her eyes were no longer like looking at a scumbag, but ......, "My lord, are you thirsty?" Hungry or not? Shall I make you something to eat? What do you want to eat?"
Lu Jin was flattered, although he didn't understand why Lin Xiaoman suddenly changed, but how could he not eat something delicious?
"Let's eat fish, I saw Lin Dashan casting a net by the river, I'll buy it."
Lin Xiaoman just wanted to say that it was inconvenient for him to have a foot injury, but Lu Jin had already run out like a gust of wind, and he couldn't see that there was a foot injury at all.
Tsk, this bitter trick, has he forgotten that he is a county magistrate?
However, knowing that Mrs. Qing was not his concubine, Lin Xiaoman was also in a very comfortable mood, and when he thought of what Lu Jin said on the mountain before, he laughed heartily.
Since they are a pair mentioned in the history books, the two also have a good impression of each other, so it is not impossible to try.
Not long after, Lu Jin came back with a bucket of fish, and in addition to the fish, there were also many river crabs with big pincers to show off their might.
Lin Xiaoman sighed, "Why are there river crabs?"
Lu Jin didn't know what a river crab was, so he stretched out his head to take a look, "He said that he was going to catch it and smash it to feed the chickens, and I thought he was in trouble with it, so I bought it all back." Turned around and smashed the chickens we fed ourselves."
Lin Xiaoman smiled when he saw the river crab, and didn't pay attention to what he said, "I'm blessed, I'll make you a way that I haven't eaten before."
At the beginning of July, although it is not the fattest time for river crabs, the river crabs are ready to eat at this time.
Whether it's steamed or spicy, it makes people's mouths water just thinking about it, why did she forget about this delicacy before?
There were a dozen river crabs a little less, and Lin Xiaoman asked Lu Jin to go to the river with a bucket, and then asked Lin Dashan to help catch some
Come back.
Lin Dashan is the man who was arrested for falsely accusing Lin Xiaoman of selling illicit salt.
After Aunt Wang was arrested, Lin Dashan asked Lin Daqiang to intercede, and put it back before spring ploughing, and let her replace the punishment with labor, but Aunt Wang couldn't bear the hardship, and made a fuss at home for three days, and after a few words with Lin Dashankou, she took her youngest son Lin Jinkui back to her parents' house.
Lin Dashan and his eldest son Lin Jinhu farmed and caught fish together, and their lives were much richer than when Aunt Wang was there.
This year, they also bought some pepper tomato seeds from Lin Xiaoman, but they made a lot of money. A while ago, Aunt Wang came back with her youngest son and wanted to take care of the family's money, Lin Dashan drove her away, and Aunt Wang left alone after throwing her youngest son down in a fit of anger.
Now Lin Dashan asked Lin Jinhu to take Lin Jinkui to work in the field, and if he didn't work well, he wouldn't give him food, but Lin Jinkui was much more sensible than when his mother was there.
When Lu Jin came back, he filled a bucket full of river crabs, and Lin Xiaoman was surprised that there were so many river crabs in the river behind them.
If you want to cook the river crab and sell it, do you have to raise the river crab?
Lin Xiaoman took a pig's bristle brush to scrub the river crabs, the river water was clean, and the river crabs were not dirty, just lightly brushed and cleaned.
After that, Lin Xiaoman put half of the brushed river crab on the cutting board and chopped it in half, intending to use it for spicy stir-frying, and the other half was put in the pot to steam.
When steaming, I adjusted a ginger vinegar water, the crab was cold, and it could be eaten with ginger water to get rid of the cold.
Soon, there was a fishy and fresh smell wafting in the stove room, Lu Jin was still a little unaccustomed to it when he first smelled it, and he was very suspicious that this kind of thing with a hard shell could be delicious?
After the river crab was steamed and served, Lin Xiaoman fried the chopped and fried into a spicy river crab, and added a lot of garlic to it, which was spicy when he smelled it, and Lu Jin had already begun to swallow his saliva.
The two river crabs were ready, Lin Xiaoman picked up a spicy bite and took a bite, and immediately squinted his eyes, this taste is better than what she has eaten at Aunt Qi, and sure enough, the water is good, and the river crab is good.
Lin Xiaoman ate several of them before he saw that Lu Jin was still holding a river crab and looked at it, "My lord, why don't you eat it?"
Lu Jin said, "This looks like a worm, can you eat it?"
Lin Xiaoman raised his eyebrows, "Just try it."
Lu Jin saw that Lin Xiaoman was eating well and looked like it was delicious, so he picked up half a spicy crab with a disgusted face, wanting to try the taste, if he really couldn't eat it, he wouldn't force himself, but try not to show his disgust too obviously when he spit it out.
A mouthful of spicy crab entrance, in addition to fragrant and spicy, there is also an indescribable freshness, not only not unpalatable, but also aroused his gluttony, learning from Lin Xiaoman's appearance and instigating the crab meat inside.
"Delicious!"
After eating more than a dozen pieces in a row, and when he wanted to eat again, Lin Xiaoman took the bowl away, "This thing is cold, and if you eat too much, you will have diarrhea."
Lu Jin was still unsatisfied, staring at the bowl that Lin Xiaoman was walking away and sighed: Xiaoman has changed! In the past, Xiaoman didn't know how to grab the bowl.
