C155 Fat Crab

After Su Zixuan had been idle for a while, apart from occasionally going out with Li Shiyun to play, she would also play with some interesting things in the mansion. The things that she had never noticed before were all of a different kind of interest.

It was the autumnal equinox. The harvest of the village was slowly reported up, and all sorts of fat crabs were sent up. Su Zixuan then set her gaze on this crab.

In the kitchen, Qingyue was busy working with the chef. As long as Su Zixuan was bored out of her mind and watched the crabs crawling about in a daze, they would be neatly tied up and thrown into the steamer.

"Miss, you only need to wait a moment." Qing Yue finished dealing with all of this and spoke to Su Zixuan with a smile.

"En," Su Zixuan nodded and continued to ask, "Why did you tie these crabs up?"

"Miss, this is to prevent the crab leg from falling off. If the crab leg falls into the pot, it will inevitably move. If the crab leg falls off, it will cause the crab oil to flow out." A quick-witted chef replied immediately, adding, "Besides, the crab's legs are broken, so it would be undignified to carry it to the table."

Su Zixuan nodded. In the past, he had only focused on eating crabs, so he didn't know that there were such steps.

When the crabs had all been steamed and cooked, some of them were sent to Su Zixuan and the front yard. There were still many left, but Qing Yue put them aside and dealt with them.

Su Zixuan was in the kitchen, so she didn't have the energy to mess around with them. She asked Mascot to eat by himself, while watching Qingyue and the kitchen staff work with great interest.

When Qing Yue saw Su Zixuan looking at her, she shyly smiled. However, Ru Yi couldn't help but ask, "Big sister Qing Yue, what are you going to do with all these?"

Eating crabs had always been a favorite thing for the scholars at this time of year. From the poems left behind by the scholars in the previous dynasty, one could tell that not only did they have crab claws in one hand, but they also had wine glasses in the other. 'A lifetime spent patting the surface of the wine pool. Then there was' crab claws are golden liquid ', and the dregs were Penglai. And he must drink fine wine and ascend the platform by the moon. ''

He had almost treated eating crabs as something elegant, and now that he had invented eight crabs, it made him look even more elegant.

Ru Yi's family was poor since she was young, she had only picked up river crabs before casually cooking them. She did not know that crabs had other methods, when she was 13 or 14 years old, they were sold to people's teeth. Once she arrived, she was chosen by the Su family, but she had never seen anything like this before.

"I'm going to take this crab yolk out to make some food!" Qing Yue replied, but her hands didn't stop moving.

"You want to make a crab bun?" Ru Yi immediately thought of this.

"Not only that, there are also ways to use crab tofu." Qing Yue smiled. Out of the four maidservants she had left behind, she was the only one who wasn't smart enough. She was thinking about what she could do to please the master and specially teach cooking with the cook.

Upon hearing this, Ru Yi felt a little covetous as she continued to look on helplessly.

Ru Yi was still somewhat unwilling when Lucky persuaded her to leave the kitchen.

However, the moment they entered the courtyard, the food below had already been delivered. Su Zixuan sat up straight. Previously, it hadn't been convenient for her to eat it, but now, the fresh crab had just been served.

But just as she finished eating one, Senior Servant Cai came out into the courtyard.

"What did the mama go to do?" Su Zixuan put down the crab needles and looked at Cai mama.

"Just now, this servant went to take a look at Miss's small storage room and made a list. I wanted to see if Miss would like any of them, so that Prince could get them as well." Cai mama beamed.

Su Zixuan, on the other hand, felt a little uncomfortable. "What do you want? You can just call someone to come and get it when the time comes."

The Prince said that the Su Clan is the place where the young miss grew up and that nothing is lacking. The Prince's Mansion is the place where the young miss will live from now on. Cai mama was still smiling, but her words only made Su Zixuan more embarrassed.

Su Zixuan was silent and didn't reply. She felt extremely awkward in her heart, but there was a hint of sweetness in it that made her unable to not blush.

She didn't have any female elders close to her since she was young, and she was rarely made fun of by others on such matters.

Su Zixuan glanced at Cai mama and thought that she must be Chu Yixuan's trusted aide. Otherwise, how could she speak and act in such a manner? It was as if she were speaking good words for Chu Yixuan.

"Miss, this is where you are enjoying this year's new crabs, right?" As Senior Servant Cai saw the beautiful crabs in front of Su Zixuan, she couldn't help but open her mouth. "This crab is delicious, but it's just that it's cold. It's better for Miss to eat less."

Su Zixuan had only just eaten one, and her heart still wanted to continue eating, but Cai mama had not only brought it out, but also looked at it from the side, as if it was something she shouldn't eat any more. Furthermore, it really wasn't something she should eat, so she could only endure the reluctance in her heart and have Mascot withdraw these thoughts.

"Thank you for your concern, Momo. Zixuan understands." Cai mama meant well, so she couldn't refuse. She picked up the teacup at the side and was about to drink it, but was stopped by Cai mama.

Su Zixuan looked curiously at Cai mama, not understanding what she meant.

"There are many taboos around this crab. Everyone knows that you can't eat with persimmon and it's easy to be poisoned. However, there are some rules that apply here."
