Seeing how much Yu Shanhai was enjoying his food, Liu Ying closed her eyes and put the crab meat into her mouth.
The result was predictable: his expression.
It is exactly the same as Yushanhai.
Seeing that Liu Ying had also eaten, Liu Miaoyin finally managed to overcome her fear and picked up a piece to put in her mouth.
This taste was something she had never experienced before.
It doesn't taste like pork; it's easy to chew and has a sweet and savory flavor.
Once they got started, they had no more worries and everyone started eating heartily.
Everyone ate until they were stuffed.
"Lili, this is so delicious! Let's go catch another king crab tomorrow!" Liu Miaoyin said, burping between burps.
Upon hearing this, Gu Lili's lips twitched slightly. Although she was no longer short of money, it would still be a bit painful to eat a king crab every day.
Gu Lili chuckled and said, "King crabs aren't that easy to catch. If you like, you can go catch blue crabs with Chenxi tomorrow. Blue crabs are easier to catch."
Liu Miaoyin felt a little regretful. She had already eaten blue crab, and it tasted pretty good, but she felt that king crab was more satisfying to eat.
One bite is enough to satisfy!
With so many people in Gu Lili's family eating, the king crab was only placed on the main table today.
The others ate blue crabs.
However, everyone was quite satisfied to be able to eat mud crabs.
"Alright! Then I'll go catch blue crabs with Sister Chenxi tomorrow!" Liu Miaoyin said with some regret.
After the meal, everyone else left, leaving only Gu Lili's family, Old Mrs. Li, Li Tiansheng, and a few others to chat with Liu Ying and her daughter.
Liu Ying gave her maid a look, and the maid got up and walked towards the carriage.
Before long, the maid came in carrying large and small bags of gifts and placed them on the table.
Gu Lili asked with some curiosity, "Madam Liu, what is this?"
Liu Ying stepped forward, opened the box on the table, and revealed its contents.
"These are some tonics I brought from my family's herbal medicine shop. I'm sharing them with everyone," Liu Ying said with a smile.
Liu Ying's family has been practicing medicine for generations, and they own several clinics.
When she came to Donghai Town, she thought for a long time about what gift to bring.
If it's too expensive, Old Mrs. Li definitely won't accept it.
Based on Li Ershu's character, Liu Ying could roughly guess what kind of people his parents were.
Although it's uncertain, it's highly likely to be true.
If it's about food, it seems a bit perfunctory.
After much thought, Liu Ying decided that sending some medicinal herbs and tonics would be best.
Old Mr. and Mrs. Li are getting on in years and work in the fields every day, so their health must be depleted. Therefore, we sent them some things to replenish their qi and blood.
The young man thought of Li Tiansheng, Li Qingshan, and Gu Yunchu, so he sent them some things to strengthen their bodies.
For girls, give them beauty and skincare products; for children, give them products that promote physical and mental development.
They are all practical and reasonable.
Gu Lili took a look and realized that she recognized many of the Chinese herbs on the table.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and she was about to say something when Liu Ying interrupted her.
"These are all new herbs that the herbal medicine shop acquired this year. I brought them here specifically for my older sister to nourish her body."
As Liu Ying spoke, she handed the two boxes of ginseng in front of her to Old Mrs. Li.
Gu Lili checked the price of the ginseng using the system and found it was over one hundred taels of silver.
This might not be much to Liu Ying's family, but if the price were mentioned to Old Mrs. Li, she would definitely not dare to accept it.
After all, the combined value of the two of them is more than twice the value of their own small courtyard.
"What is this?" Grandma Li asked curiously.
It looks like some kind of tree root, but I've never actually seen it before.
Liu Ying replied with a smile, "This is ginseng."
Grandma Li, who was holding the box, almost dropped it on the ground.
Although she had never seen ginseng, she had heard of it.
That stuff was only affordable for wealthy families, and its price was, needless to say, exorbitant.
"Sister Liu, this...this is too valuable, you should take it back," Old Mrs. Li refused.
Although this is good food, how can the people here be worthy of eating it?
Upon hearing this, Liu Ying pouted and said, "Big sister, do you not like my gift?"
This was the most thoughtful gift Liu Ying could think of.
Grandma Li waved her hands awkwardly, her face turning bright red.
Gu Lili wanted to speak up to ease the embarrassment and awkwardness of Old Mrs. Li.
She knew how terrified her grandmother, who had been poor all her life, was in front of those two boxes of ginseng.
But then Liu Miaoyin smiled and stepped forward to grasp the slightly trembling hand of the old lady Li, saying, "Auntie, this is not expensive. We collected it ourselves. It's more expensive to sell to others, but it's cheaper to collect it ourselves. Please accept it."
Grandma Li subconsciously looked at Gu Lili, who smiled and nodded at her, which reassured Grandma Li a lot.
Since Gu Lili nodded, it means that what Liu Miaoyin said was true.
If she continued to refuse, the situation would definitely be awkward, and Liu Ying had already put in a lot of effort.
After all, regardless of the price, the ginseng was carefully selected by the mother and daughter and brought from Jiangdu, a place so far away.
“In that case, I’ll accept it. Sister Liu, Miaoyin, you’re so kind.” Old Mrs. Li smiled and shook Liu Miaoyin’s hand in return.
Seeing that Grandma Li had finally accepted the gift, Liu Ying's smile widened.
He then got up and gave out the other gifts.
Gu Lili, Gu Chenxi, and Zuo Xiuhong received bird's nest, the children received Polygonum multiflorum, and Li Qingshan and the others received Polygonatum sibiricum.
For those who couldn't come, others accepted the gifts on their behalf.
Looking at the medicinal herbs, Gu Lili finally couldn't help but ask, "Madam Liu, do you have a specific supplier for these medicinal herbs?"
Gu Lili is already planning to release a few more medicated soaps.
It has medicinal properties; it can promote hair growth and relieve itching. Then, we can use soap and scented soap to firmly establish our Gu family workshop in the Southern Yue Kingdom.
“Yes, we have medicinal herb farmers who specialize in collecting herbs in the mountains, and then the herb merchants buy them and sell them to us. Lili, are you also interested in getting into the medicinal herb business? I’ll introduce you to the herb merchants tomorrow!” Liu Ying said generously.
Gu Lili was her and Liu Miaoyin's savior, and Liu Ying would do everything she could to help Gu Lili without reservation.
Gu Lili smiled and said, "I'm not going to do business with medicinal herbs, but rather to add them to soap to make medicated soap."
Liu Ying was frank, and Gu Lili didn't need to hide anything from her.
Everyone was amazed when they heard this.
When Gu Lili was making rose essential oil soap, they thought she was a genius because of the fragrance of roses.
I never imagined that edible medicinal herbs could be added to this soap. That's amazing.
Liu Ying was knowledgeable in medicine, and many medicinal herbs could be used not only internally but also externally with significant effects.
Take He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum) for example. Taken internally, it can improve health and brain function. When used externally, it can increase the shine of hair.
