On this day, in addition to meeting the Huai family, it was calm, and no incidents happened, when leaving the Zhao Mansion, the old housekeeper specially carried a bamboo basket, which was covered with a beige gray long cloth.

"The female crab is getting fat, please Mr. Ye take it back and add a side dish with wine. ”

Ye Yunsheng lifted the long cloth and glanced at it, and Ah Yu on the side also leaned his head up, "Wow, they are spitting bubbles!"

The body is not big, more than half a palm, the back is green and thick, and there should be a lot of crab roe.

The crabs around the beginning of autumn are the most fatty.

Seven or eight were crawling in the basket, "Ah, this one is about to crawl out!"

Ye Yunsheng was about to cover the long cloth back, but after hearing it, he still pinched it, and said to Ah Yu: "It can't climb out, you see." ”

It was a very brave crab, and one of its pointed feet had hooked the edge of the basket, and with a little force it could pull its body up, and of course it did so, but it had only gone up a little bit, and then fell back again.

The two crabs below, caught the feet of "Brave" and dragged it back.

"Oops, what a pity. ”

At this time, a crab below, the "bad guy" who had just stretched out the crab claws to clamp his companion, had already taken the opportunity of "bravely" falling down, climbed up, and half of his body was out of the basket, but "bravely" fell, but one foot was hooked on its foot, and it kept struggling, as long as it broke free, it could climb to the outside of the basket.

It was almost about to succeed, but there was not only the "brave" crab below, but the side that had not moved, like a dead crab, suddenly stretched out its claws and clamped the "bad guy" to death.

After the "bad guy" who almost succeeded in slapping his face fell, Ye Yunsheng covered the long cloth, took the bamboo basket and said to the old housekeeper: "Thank you Zhao Yuanwai for your good intentions, and I will say goodbye." ”

The old housekeeper sent it to the door, Ye Yunsheng took Ah Yu's hand and walked slowly down the street.

"Daddy, why do the crabs down there always pull down the crabs that are about to escape?"

"These crabs are in trouble, they know that there is a vast world outside, and now that they are caught, any crab wants to escape first. When one of them climbs higher than them and has a better chance of escaping first, they stop it. ”

"Stupid crab, in this way, isn't it impossible for anyone to escape?"

"yes. ”

"They should negotiate who will be the first and who will be the second, and one by one will climb out, and finally everyone can escape. ”

Ah Yu's little face leaned up to talk to him, and he also lowered his head and looked at her little face.

Suddenly, there was a feeling of looking at Xiao Asheng in the distant time.

"Then think about it, Ah Yu, look, we carry the basket and walk back all the way, they are discussing inside, you go first, you go again, and then it's your turn, hurry up, hurry up...... Then, we walked to the house and the crabs ran away, oh!"

His tone was a little indescribable, and the expression on his face was complicated and inexplicable, looking at Ah Yu quietly, and he said here with his fingers in front of him, from a joyful and childlike atmosphere, to a sudden turn......

"There's another one. ”

He made a gesture of lifting the long cloth.

"It turned out that it didn't have time to escape, and when it was about to come out, I found it. ”

The smile on Ah Yu's face was a little puzzled by his unpredictable tone and demeanor...... When I heard that I was discovered, I started to get nervous.

"What should I do? I grabbed it and threw it into a boiling pot of boiling water, and it died instantly. ”

"Isn't it pitiful?" he asked again.

"Isn't it pitiful that everyone who was together fled and died?" His face was lowered, not in the sun, a little gray, and his eyes were sad.

"It wouldn't think it would be nice if it didn't say yes to them, at least, everybody was there. ”

............

When he returned home, Ye Yunsheng was counted by Jiang Shouhua for a stick of incense.

Very embarrassed.

Because Ah Yu cried.

Later, he was steaming crabs, and Jiang Shouhua came in to look for him, "What's wrong with you today?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"If it was in the past, where would you say this to Ah Yu?"

"Well, I didn't expect that. ”

"Is your friend's business in trouble?"

"I don't have a clue about her......"

"I always felt that something was wrong with you. Jiang Shouhua looked carefully at his expression beside him.

He smiled at the woman, his hands were greasy, and it was not easy to touch her, so he only leaned his face over, she dodged away, and said angrily: "Talking to you about business, this is not serious without a few words!"

"Abstain from anger and anger. He didn't care, and said with a joke.

"I'm not a bodhisattva!" she said as she went out.

He shook himself in front of the door, and leaned over again, and she ducked, and with great speed, sprang out of him.

Seeing that Jiang Shouhua had run out of the door, he retreated to the stove, and the smile on his face faded a little.

After a while, the aroma of crab meat in the steamer came out.

Crabs are most taboo to boil in water, and the umami cannot be retained. The crab steamed in the steamer has tight meat, the paste is yellow, and the umami is all there.

Today, Ye Yunsheng suddenly wanted to be extravagant, he took out the crabs one by one, peeled them off, cut them in half, and then heated the oil, passed through the green onions, and then poured them on them, making a sizzling sound.

This is still what Qingqing taught him.

When it comes to eating crabs, the people in Jiangnan know better.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that everyone in the Lutheran League was in Chang'an, he would have planned to go to Jiangnan to live for a long time after marrying Ah Tan that year.

The heat of the steamer has not completely dissipated, and the white mist is like the smoke clouds on Yangcheng Lake after autumn.

The boat floated slowly on the surface of the lake, the wind was gentle, the water was waveless, the wine table resting on the boat, the crab as big as the palm of the hand, and the daughter red poured into the cup.

Whether it was him or Qingqing, they didn't talk much.

Just like the poet is always silent in the most beautiful place.

Because the poems are natural, as early as between the wind and things, words can reach, but only one in a hundred thousand.

Here and now, without words, you can feel the extremely moving quatrain.

Ye Yunsheng glanced at the vinegar on the plate, and couldn't remember when the minced garlic was put down, he took a large pot full of steamed crabs and walked to the courtyard, where Ah Yu and Jiang Shouhua were already sitting at the table.

Brine beans, fennel root, braised chicken feet, three side dishes.

Ye Yunsheng drank wine, watched Ah Yu eat crabs, and Jiang Shouhua helped her unwrap her shell. Eating some beans and vegetable roots, I inexplicably remembered what Qingqing said last night.

"Ah Sheng, I'm going to drag you back to the rivers and lakes this time, will you blame me in your heart?"

"Last year, I went back to Xiaoshenshan, entered the mountain gate, worshiped the master, and returned to the rivers and lakes. ”

"I know this, but I look at you now, you like such a peaceful life, and you can't bear it. ”

"I just don't know what to do when I go back to the rivers and lakes. I don't seem to need anything anymore for this Jianghu...... I still remember the longing and ambition in my heart when I was young, coming down from Xiaoshen Mountain. Now it seems so naïve. It seems that those who want it can get it on the small god mountain. Yes, I am now a true disciple of the Shangqing School, and I have a brother like Lawlessness, and when others look at me, I am also a character to look up to...... After all, I was once frustrated and depressed in it, and I can't forget those pains, those sorrows, and those helplessness. ”

"Are you scared?"

"Indeed, I am afraid. ”

Ah Yu has already eaten three crabs and can't stop. Of course, there is little crab meat, so she eats it.

Ye Yunsheng now figured out that the inexplicable words he said to Ah Yu before, the real audience should be Xiao Ah Sheng, who left Lishan, not Ah Yu.
