No matter what, Ye Beiping is still her husband. Even if he has a good relationship with Deng Huiling, she shouldn't help outsiders harm her own family.
Hearing this, He Nini and Zhou Ying's eyes lit up. As long as Su Xinyi was willing to help, nothing else mattered.
Zhou Ying immediately spoke up: "Then can you ask Ye Beiping? He..."
Before he could finish speaking, Su Xinyi interrupted, "He's not in Hangzhou."
"Huh?" The three women were all surprised.
Deng Huiling asked with some concern, "Xinyi, you're pregnant. Ye Beiping isn't in Hangzhou. Where did he go?"
There was a hint of reproach in his tone.
No matter what, she was still Su Xinyi's best friend. Now that her best friend was pregnant, her husband wasn't around, and she was genuinely a little angry.
But they didn't dare to speak loudly, since Su Qingwen and Min Yuehua were right there in the restaurant, and speaking too loudly would definitely attract their attention.
It wouldn't be good if it turned into a family drama.
Su Xinyi frowned slightly, not because she was dissatisfied with Ye Beiping's actions, but because she was somewhat annoyed that her best friend was blaming her husband.
“Building a house in Pingba Village is a serious matter for him, and my parents are here too. His mother and sister are in Hangzhou, and he even hired a nanny for me. But today is the opening day of the restaurant, so he gave the nanny a day off.”
"Okay." Hearing that Ye Beiping had also hired a nanny for Su Xinyi, Deng Huiling could only stick out her pink tongue and say something somewhat embarrassed.
The main reason was that I could hear some dissatisfaction in Su Xinyi's tone.
The way he so fiercely defended Ye Beiping made Deng Huiling a little jealous.
They used to be best friends, but they couldn't resist their husbands' influence.
Ignoring all that, Zhou Ying asked, "Can't you get in touch with him?"
“No…” Su Xinyi thought for a moment, then shook her head.
It wasn't that she couldn't get in touch with them, but rather that Tang Xiaolong and his team handled all the communication; there was no phone at home, and it was inconvenient for her to go out.
Moreover, it's probably not good to keep calling people from Pingba Village, as long as the village committee has a phone.
The three women were all particularly disappointed upon hearing Su Xinyi's answer.
Just then, Su Xinyi remembered something and her face lit up with surprise: "I remembered something, maybe you can do it."
"What's up?"
The three women asked in unison, full of surprise.
Su Xinyi thought for a moment and then told Ye Beiping about the crayfish, but she wasn't sure if it was safe to eat.
I had seen it before in Pingba Village, but I had never eaten it. Everyone said it was inedible.
"Do you remember when we were in Pingba Village, there were those kinds of shrimp in those dirty, smelly ditches?"
"Uh-huh."
Speaking of this, the three women frowned and showed a look of disgust.
I remembered how ugly and dirty those ditches were.
But not understanding why Su Xinyi brought this up, he could only listen quietly.
Seeing that everyone knew, Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Ye Beiping told me that their scientific name is crayfish, and they can also be called lobsters."
"Crayfish?" As children who grew up in Hangzhou, the three girls had naturally seen crayfish before.
But no matter how I try to put the crayfish and the lobster together in my mind, I just can't connect them.
The lobster was big and meaty, and looked incredibly majestic.
But that crayfish... okay, its claws might be big, but it doesn't have much meat on its body, does it?
"That's right."
Su Xinyi got more and more excited as she spoke, and said directly, "Ye Beiping told me about the restaurant's plan before. If business is not good, in addition to free drinks, we will also have to come up with new dishes. This crayfish is one of them."
"Crayfish in cooking!" Deng Huiling exclaimed in surprise, her eyes wide open.
I never expected Ye Beiping to like these things.
Is it for real that you'd use something that grows in a dirty, smelly ditch to cook?
Won't it give people diarrhea?
The thought of having that thing stuffed into their mouths made He Nini and Zhou Ying's expressions turn sour, and they immediately felt nauseous and wanted to vomit up what they had eaten at noon.
They even exchanged a glance, wondering if Su Xinyi was just making up excuses to avoid helping them.
After all, they used to be on opposite sides, and Su Xinyi has changed so much today. She was such a gentle and weak girl, but today she was able to stand up to Peng Tian and Luo Yonghao.
Su Xinyi didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She trusted Ye Beiping completely; if he said it was edible, then it must be edible. Besides, back in the day, some Volunteer Army soldiers even scavenged food from horse manure, and they even ate tree bark during the Long March.
It's not just written in the book; the veterans all know about this.
