Chapter 215： People who are better than you work harder than you

Chapter 215 People who are better than you work harder than you

"Miss Xiaomo, Boy Ling, you are here, come in and sit down."

Seeing Yunmo and Ling Chuan coming, Uncle Luo stood up to greet them with a smile, and said, "It's fine for people to come, what gifts do you need?"

Many guests have already arrived in the main hall, men and women, old and young, all of them looked at the two of them curiously.

Yunmo generously passed the gift in her hand to the hand of the nanny beside her, "It's a small gesture, it's not a respect, Mr. Luo, I wish you good health and a long life for a hundred years!"

After Yunmo finished speaking, Ling Chuan also said a few birthday wishes, and Uncle Le Deluo's eyes narrowed.

"Okay, okay, thank you, sit inside, drink tea and eat some melon and fruit snacks, it will take a while to leave the table."

"Um."

After sitting down, Yunmo observed subconsciously, and found that there were not many guests. It seemed that they were all relatives or close friends of Uncle Luo's family. Everyone was very kind and greeted the couple with smiles.

Smiling at Yan Yanjian, Xie Xia and a young boy came in with two bamboo baskets each.

Uncle Luo saw it, and couldn't help asking, "Bao'er, what are you and Dongdong carrying, why is it so heavy?"

Xie Xia put the bamboo baskets in front of Uncle Luo, and opened the lid of one of them.

Uncle Luo looked at it, and immediately laughed happily, "Hahaha, this is good, this birthday gift is not bad."

Others saw that Uncle Luo was so happy, and came forward curiously.

"Oh, it's hairy crabs!"

"Such a big body, I'm afraid it can't be as heavy as 5 or 6?"

Hairy crabs in this era are not particularly rare, but they are generally eaten by rich people. Compared with hairy crabs that are cheap and expensive, poor people prefer chicken, duck, fish and pork that can fill their stomachs and are nutritious.

However, supplies are relatively scarce now. Hairy crabs weighing 5 or 6 are considered top-level ingredients. They are usually supplied to the rich and powerful in the upper class, and ordinary citizens cannot buy them even if they have money.

Around 7:30, all the guests arrived, and everyone came to the yard to take their seats.

There are three big round tables in total, and a large plate of red hairy crabs is placed in the center of each big round table.

In addition to hairy crabs, other dishes on the table are not inferior.

Those who fly in the sky, those who run on the ground, and those who swim in the water, have everything that one expects to find, full of wealth and power.

Xie Xia and Yun Mo were arranged at the same table, Xie Xia sat on Yun Mo's left, Ling Chuan sat on Yun Mo's right.

Probably because she was afraid of Yunmo being restrained, Xie Xia greeted her from time to time.

"The gastrodia elata soup is good. It is the wild gastrodia elata that someone specially asked someone to bring back from Yishi. It can soothe the nerves and invigorate the brain. I usually use it to soak water at home to drink."

After Yunmo drank the soup, Xie Xia asked her again, "Do you eat hairy crabs?"

"Well, to eat."

Hearing Yunmo's answer, Xie Xia reached out and took the largest hairy crab and put it in front of her.

"Will it be peeled off?"

Yunmo: "...Thank you, Miss Xia, I'll do it myself."

In my impression, Xie Xia was a cold and indifferent person, but I didn't expect that she also had a considerate side in private, which made Yunmo very flattered.

Probably seeing that she was uncomfortable, Xie Xia nodded lightly, "There are a lot of dishes, and if you can't finish them, you will throw them away. Eat more, don't be restrained."

So it was because she was afraid that she would be embarrassed to eat?

Yunmo smiled gratefully at the other party, "I won't be polite."

"That's good."

Xie Xia glanced at Ling Chuan on her right, "You greet your people yourself, I'll go talk to my uncle and grandpa."

"it is good."

Seeing that other guests on the table started to eat hairy crabs, Yunmo also picked up the one in front of her, and just about to break off the crab legs, Ling Chuan suddenly reached out and took the hairy crabs from her hand.

"Momo, let me peel it for you. The crab shell is hard and easy to scratch your hands."

Yunmo looked at him and asked casually, "Can you peel hairy crabs?"

After finishing speaking, she realized that this sentence was inappropriate, and was about to say something to remedy it, when the man replied to her: "I can peel."

"I used to be so poor that I had nothing to eat. My elder brother and I often went to small river ditches in the countryside to touch crabs and river prawns, but the crabs in the ditch were not so big."

"Can you touch it now? It's the kind of crab in the ditch."

"can."

Seeing that she was interested, Ling Chuan hurriedly said again: "If you want to eat, I will go and get some with Zhou Xiaowei tomorrow."

Thinking that tomorrow is the weekend, Yun Mo said directly: "Let's go together tomorrow, and I will call Zeng Fang."

"it is good."

"Where are you going tomorrow?"

It happened that Xie Xia came back to eat at her seat, heard the conversation between the two, and asked casually.

"We are going to go to the river ditch in the countryside to touch wild crabs and river prawns, sister Xia, are you going to relax?"

"Okay, what time?"

Yunmo was just being polite, but Xie Xia was not.

"9 o'clock."

"it is good."

The next day, when Yun Mo returned home after slipping away from Dabai Erbai, she found that Xie Xia had already arrived at the door.

Seeing the two big geese in front of her, Xie Xia raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"Do you raise geese?"

"Well, they are Dabai and Erbai respectively." After the introduction, Yunmo asked the other party in surprise, "Sister Xia, why did you arrive so early?"

It's not even 8 o'clock.

Xie Xia patted her handbag, "I'm afraid that I might forget the time when I do the questions, so I will come here early and do it at your house for a while, and then I will set off with you."

The most frightening thing in the world is not that others are better than you, but that people who are better than you work harder than you.

Xie Xia belongs to the latter.

After entering the door, Xie Xia casually looked around the courtyard, with a look of admiration, "Your courtyard is very elegantly maintained."

"I haven't taken care of it much. It's not as spacious and magnificent as Uncle Luo's yard. Sister Xia, have you had breakfast yet?"

"I've eaten, just find a place to write the test for me."

Yunmo pointed to the stone table, "Usually I'm either there or in the house, where do you like to be?"

Xie Xia thought for a moment and chose the stone table.

Hearing the voices of the two, Ling Chuan came out from the kitchen and was not too surprised to see Xie Xia.

On the contrary, Xie Xia was a little surprised to see Ling Chuan, probably because Ling Chuan was wearing an apron and holding a spatula, looking like a family husband.

"Xie, classmate, you are welcome to come to our house as a guest."

Hearing Ling Chuan's greeting, Xie Xia nodded, "Hello, excuse me."

Yun Mo hurriedly introduced to the two of them.

After the introduction, Ling Chuan went back to the kitchen to continue making breakfast, while Yun Mo led Xie Xia to the stone table, and then went into the kitchen to make tea.

"Momo, do you want to make your classmate's breakfast?"

"Do a little."

"it is good."

Xie Xia is a person with strong self-discipline, even if she is in an unfamiliar environment, she will not be affected in the slightest. She will soon be immersed in her studies, and Yunmo doesn't even raise her head when she puts the tea in front of her.

Seeing this, Yunmo didn't bother, she put away her tea and turned around to do her own business.

Breakfast is ready soon, mung bean porridge and scallion cake.

Ling Chuan has great strength, and the kneaded dough is firm and elastic. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a large paper-like sheet, apply oil, sprinkle chopped green onion, roll it up, and press it into a half-finger-thick round cake. Fry the pan over low heat.

The fried scallion pancakes are golden in color and crispy in layers. They are cut into small triangular pieces with a knife. Just looking at them makes people move their index fingers.
