Chapter 498 Regret

Zhu Huaizhen hasn't seen Zhao Lian'er for many years.

Of course, this does not mean that Zhu Huaizhen has let go of his hatred.

How can she let it go if she hasn't even taken revenge?

However, she was still surprised for a moment when she saw Zhao Lian'er.

Ahem, it's rude to be shocked for too long.

Zhao Lian'er's body became thinner and her face paler, as if it were made of white wax. She looked like she might lie in a coffin at any time, looking so pitiful.

Obviously, Zhao Lian'er did not have a good life in Northern Zhou.

However, she could not leave Northern Zhou alone.

Zhu Huaizhen would never sympathize with Zhao Lianer.

She ordered Tu Mi to prepare an abalone feast that Zhao Lian'er could not eat.

The wrinkled abalone has a large and solid shell with three layers of conch. It can be steamed with chopped peppers, braised, or used in chicken soup. The meat is tender and flexible with an excellent taste.

Nanri abalone is brightly colored, with holes in its shell and barnacles. It has a tender and delicate texture and is also very delicious when braised, steamed, or used in soups.

Jipin abalone originates from Fuso. This tiny nation has been destroyed and revived, reborn and lost again, like a centipede that persists even after death. However, Fuso's Jipin abalone is smaller, shaped like a gold ingot, and is deliciously stewed, sashimi-cooked, and braised.

Black abalone is jet black and several times larger than other abalone. It is used for sashimi, pan-frying, and dicing. It has a sweet and mellow taste, a firm and elastic texture, and a fresh and tender taste.

Red abalone is huge in size and has a brick-red appearance. It is used for sashimi, sliced ​​and stir-fried, and salt-baked. Its meat is thick, tender and delicious.

The small Hema abalone lives in rock crevices and is hung on hooks to dry in the sun. It is used for sashimi and soup. Its golden color and tender meat make it an excellent dried abalone.

Dishes cooked by Qiu Niang, such as stir-fried pork belly abalone, abalone with okra and scallion oil, cold bitter melon and abalone, steamed abalone with vermicelli and garlic, abalone stewed with local chicken soup, braised abalone, salt-baked abalone, crispy fried abalone, golden soup millet and abalone soup, abalone and oyster porridge, etc., are all delicious and fragrant.

That’s right, Zhao Lian’er couldn’t eat abalone since she was a child.

Whenever she ate abalone, she would break out in rashes all over her body and suffer terribly.

"Zhao Lian'er, do you regret it?" Zhu Huaizhen ate the abalone piece by piece happily.

Tsk tsk, if she ordered an oyster feast, would Qiu Niang agree?

"What do you regret?" Zhao Lian'er asked.

"If there is no past life, only this life, if you don't provoke me, I won't take revenge, and you can accompany Chen Ming'an safely and without worries. Even if Chen Ming'an doesn't like you, he won't push you to Northern Zhou and leave you alone. At least, he will properly settle you down for the sake of our childhood sweethearts, just like Gao Yan'er, who will marry a good man, have children, have Chen Ming'an's support, and live a happy and healthy life." Zhu Huaizhen said slowly.

Forget it, let’s not call it an oyster feast, so as to avoid Tu Mi and Qiu Niang nagging us one after another.

So she made herself some Taoyao tea.

Take the peach blossoms on the third day of March and the white dew on the third day of September, and set out a set of tea-making utensils including a copper wind stove, willow charcoal, wrought iron fire tongs, small green bamboo clips, locust wood water cubes, and Yuezhou jade bowls, and wait for the first boil to produce small bubbles, the second boil to produce gushing springs, and the third boil to produce surging waves.

As for Zhao Lian'er, she had no share and could only drink warm Dongting Biluochun.

"Zhu Huaizhen, don't be so proud. Even if I am not your opponent, you can't defeat Queen Du." Zhao Lian'er gritted her teeth, her eyes vicious.

"Oh, that means you regretted it. It's a pity that Chen Ming'an went to Northern Jin and refused to set foot in Northern Zhou. Tell me, if I take revenge on you, will he come down from the sky?" Zhu Huaizhen touched his chin and smiled meaningfully.
