Chapter 20 Sea Urchin Opening

"Cousin, please help me flush the water."

Jiang Wan urged him, and Yin Ning came to his senses and quickly helped his cousin clean the sea urchin.

"Cousin, how much do you want for this sea urchin?"

"No money."

As Jiang Wan spoke, she took out the sea urchin roe and placed it on the washed leaves, then took two and walked directly to the carriage.

"Uncle, your host is the first customer of our stall. This is a free gift. Please ask for me."

She said she was talking to the coachman, but in fact, there was a wooden door in the carriage, so the mother and daughter inside could also hear it.

Mrs. Qin was a little curious and also a little moved. She thought she was just a little girl and did not refuse.

Across the carriage, Jiang Wan explained how to eat sea urchin roe. She also emphasized that people who are allergic to seafood or have heat stroke should not eat it before leaving.

Although she has not studied Chinese medicine, she knows some common sense because she often eats seafood. Sea urchin is a raw and cold food and is also an irritant. If you eat it after suffering from heat stroke, it will definitely aggravate the symptoms of dizziness and vomiting, and in severe cases, it will cause diarrhea.

The people who rode in this kind of carriage were all ladies from wealthy families, and she couldn't afford to offend them.

Qin Yue: “…”

Why is this girl so honest? My mother will definitely not let me eat it after hearing it.

Mrs. Qin didn't let her daughter eat it, and she didn't intend to eat it herself, but when she opened the curtain, she saw the two little girls eating with a satisfied look on their faces, and she was immediately tempted. She couldn't help but eat it on the way back.

"Mother, how is it? What does it smell like?"

"It tastes like ordinary seafood, nothing special."

Mrs. Qin said this calmly, but in her heart she felt a little regretful for not buying more on the way.

"Cousin!! You are so awesome!!"

Yin Ning's face turned red with excitement.

My cousin opened her mouth and in just a short while she sold the item for twelve cents! Twelve cents!

"I'll go talk to Dad!"

Yin Ning excitedly ran to tell her father the good news. Yin Huaishan was so shocked by the twelve coins that he opened his mouth and suddenly felt ashamed. He was such a grown-up, but he was not as good as his niece in making money.

Thinking carefully, it seems that he can only read, write and keep accounts. These skills are useless in the fishing village. Now my younger sister has started to sell herbal medicine, and my niece and daughter have also started to sell herbal tea. Will I have to rely on the women at home for support in the future?

No, no, he has to think of a way to make money.

Yin Huaishan was pondering over this matter while hurriedly weaving the backpack.

At this time, there were more people coming from the other side of the road. Jiang Wan was sharp-eyed and saw that they were three young men riding horses slowly and leisurely. She immediately turned around and said to her cousin, "When they come over, cousin, just keep smiling with your mouth crooked."

Jiang Wan demonstrated it, and Yin Ning learned it very well.

It's not that Jiang Wan is too self-righteous. It's better to be safe than sorry. What if these young masters are just such lustful and scumbags?

Although my cousin has lost a lot of weight due to the hardships she has endured, she still looks pretty good, so there's no guarantee that she'll be crazy. It won't be a big deal if she just buys some insurance.

As for herself...

Well, she is now just a little girl of twelve, but she looks like ten because of her thinness. As long as you are still a human being, you can't have any thoughts about her.

The two of them prepared themselves, and seeing the young masters approaching, Jiang Wan immediately greeted them and said, "Gentlemen, you have had a hard journey. Would you like to have some cool tea before you go?"

"Cool tea?"

Qi Xiao reined in his horse and looked at his two friends.

They rode along the way in the wind, and although it was a bit sunny, they didn't really feel hot. He didn't care whether to drink the cool tea or not, it all depended on what his friends thought.

But he felt that he had to drink this tea.

Because the tea-selling girl looked so pitiful, someone's old illness was about to come back.

really……

"It's a bit hot after being in the sun all the way here. Miss, please pour a bowl for each of us."

A man in a crescent-shaped white gown got off his horse and handed Jiang Wan a dime. Jiang Wan didn't dare to take it. This amount of silver was at least several hundred coins. If she took it, she would be a black-hearted stall owner.

Rich people can spend some money moderately, but when two cents become several hundred cents, it is too much and it burns your hands.

"Sir, I can't make the change for the money you gave me. Our cold tea is only two cents a bowl. Can you give me change for three people, six cents?"

Huo Changqi withdrew his hand awkwardly and looked at Qi Xiao for help.

Qi Xiao: “…”

Come on, who told him that he was the stingiest of the three and only had copper coins on him?

"Remember to return it to me when you get back."

As Qi Xiao spoke, he counted out six coins and gave them to Jiang Wan. His eyes fell on the girl with a crooked mouth behind the little girl, paused for a moment, and then turned to the table.

"What is this?"

As he said that, he wanted to reach out to touch it, but Jiang Wan was so scared that he slapped him with his paw.

"This is called a sea urchin. The thorns on its shell can sting you and it's very painful. It's poisonous and you can't touch it."

When Qi Xiao heard that it was poisonous, his face changed slightly, and he didn't care about being hit on the hand anymore.

"Girl, you put poisonous things on the table to play with."

"It's not for playing with. Although it doesn't look good on the outside, it's delicious inside. Would you like to try it, young master?"

Qi Xiao blinked and said nothing, but another one of the three came over.

"What's delicious?"

"You only know how to eat. You've never seen this before, and you dare to eat it?"

"Didn't the little girl say it was delicious? I must have eaten it, right?"

Fu Yuanling looked towards Jiang Wan, with that familiar foodie look in his eyes.

This is incredible! Looks like sea urchin can also open today!

Jiang Wan smiled very sweetly and said seriously, "Of course we have eaten it. We even sold a few today. Everyone who has eaten it said it is delicious. And this sea urchin is very nutritious. I heard from an old doctor that sea urchin roe can strengthen the spleen and appetite, nourish yin and strengthen the kidneys. It is a good thing, isn't it?"

After hearing what she said, Fu Yuanling felt even more itchy and poked Qi Xiao directly to ask him to pay.

"I'll return it to you when I get back."

Qi Xiao touched his wallet. Even though he knew the two would pay him back, he still felt a little distressed.

"How much is a sea urchin?"

Seeing the pain on his face, Jiang Wan was afraid of scaring him away, so she tried to give a number that was not too exaggerated.

"Ten cents each."

Qi Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. Ten cents was not too much. He counted out another ten cents and gave them to Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan's eyes were all smiles. She took the money and poured a bowl of mint water for each of the three gentlemen. Then she skillfully cut the sea urchin and rinsed it with water.

In order to prevent the three young masters from seeing the contents of the sea urchin and making them unable to eat it, Jiang Wan turned his back to handle it.

Before the three of them could recover from the cool mint water, five beautiful petals of sea urchin yellow were already neatly placed on the five leaves.

As usual, Jiang Wan first asked the three of them whether they could eat seafood. After all, if anyone was allergic to seafood and got sick, she couldn't afford the compensation.

Fu Yuanling hurriedly said that he ate fish and shrimp all year round, and poured the leaves into his mouth.

Qi Xiao's mouth twitched, he felt ashamed of him, turned around and stood beside Huo Changqi. He wanted to wait for him to finish eating before telling him his thoughts, but this guy ate piece after piece without saying a word.

Could it be that this girl wasn't exaggerating?

Is it really that delicious?

Would you like to try it?
