Chapter 170 Eating Hairy Crabs



The two men watched them fighting, shook their heads helplessly, and continued to heat up the food in their hands.

Days like this seem pretty good.

Twenty days later, the group finally arrived in Jiangnan Road, where three supervisory areas were established: Jiangdong Road, Jiangxi Road and Qianzhong Road.

Among them, Jiangdong Road was the most prosperous and wealthy, so they went directly to Jiangdong Road. Even before they officially entered Jiangdong Road, they could immediately feel that the air had become much more humid.

They were about to enter Jiangnan, and everyone was extremely excited. They had been eating dry food and wild vegetable porridge during this period. Rouer had lost a lot of weight, and there were several fewer boxes in everyone's car because they were all filled with food and had been eaten up.

Finally arrived at Jiangdong Road. When entering the city, there were people everywhere, including vendors, pedestrians, and tourists. It was very lively and no less lively than the capital.

Several people were queuing at the back, waiting to enter the city.

In fact, they could have shown their tokens, whether it was Mingman or Li Jingchen, but everyone chose to keep a low profile. Otherwise, it would be too troublesome if their identities were exposed. They still wanted to play freely.

After entering the city, several people planned to find an inn to stay in, put down their luggage, and then go out to eat. Because they were unfamiliar with the place and were worrying about where to find an inn, they were surrounded by a group of people.

There were middle-aged men and women, as well as a few children, all of them loudly promoting their own post stations. Some said theirs was cheap, some said theirs had a good location, being built on the most prosperous street, and some said theirs was well-repaired and the most comfortable to live in. For a moment, I was dazzled by all these people and didn't know which one to choose.

Just as he was struggling, a little boy squeezed in and shouted, "Come to my post house. It's quiet and private, and there's a yard where we can park our carriages and even rent the whole place out!"

Jiang Tuantuan was immediately attracted by the little boy's words and decided to choose him immediately. The rest of the people found that they had failed, sighed dejectedly, and then went to surround the next person entering the city.

The little boy bowed respectfully to Jiang Tuantuan and the others, then said, "Please follow me, everyone. My post station is not far ahead. Although it's not on the most prosperous street nearby, it's only a quarter of an hour's walk away."

"Okay, let's go."

On the way, Jiang Tuantuan started chatting with the little boy, "Do you know why I chose your family?"

The little boy looked up at the carriage and the boxes behind him and said, "Looking at the carriages and the boxes and luggage of the distinguished guests, I can tell that they must be from wealthy families. Judging from their clothing and appearance, they seem to be from the north. They must be here to have fun. And judging from your demeanor, I can tell that you are not ordinary people."

He continued, "You definitely don't want to be crowded together with a bunch of people, so my yard just happens to meet your requirements. I'm sure you'll choose mine."

The little boy spoke very confidently, but Jiang Tuantuan liked this fact very much, and he was also very smart.

Soon we arrived at the post station the little boy mentioned. It was in a residential area, surrounded by courtyards. However, each courtyard was separated by a distance, so it was quite quiet.

It is convenient to reach the street through a small alley.

After opening the door, you will see a spacious yard as soon as you enter. It is very bright and faces the sun, making the yard golden. There is a flower bed in the middle of the yard, and it is surrounded by flowers. It seems that the owner of the house is a person with a great interest in life, and the flowers are also well taken care of.

There is a large hall in the middle, which is perfect for dining and putting things in. There are several rooms on both sides, all of which are very clean. Although there are few furnishings, it looks even cleaner.

These rooms were just enough for them to live in. Everyone was very satisfied with the place and booked it for a month. The smile on the little boy's face became even brighter.

Jiang Tuantuan asked, "Where is the owner of this house?"

The little boy said, "It's my dad. I'm taking a rest today, so I'm here to help attract customers. We live in the alley behind. My last name is Su, so you can just call me Xiao Su. If you need anything, come find me in the back."

"OK."

Rou'er said: "Xiao Su, can you tell me what delicious food there is?"

Xiao Su didn't even think about it and blurted out: "Hairy crab!"

"It's September now, the season when hairy crabs are ripe and most delicious. You can go to Supinlou to eat there. Their hairy crabs are the most delicious, but you have to go quickly, otherwise you will miss the queue.

When Rou'er heard this, her mouth was watering and she immediately urged everyone to put down their things and eat.

Everyone was so greedy that they put down their things and went out without even changing their clothes.

Seeing that they were so eager to eat hairy crabs, Xiao Su decided not to go home and took them there, which saved them time finding the way.

After leaving the house, they didn't take the main road, but wandered around in the alleys until they were almost dizzy. Xiao Su said, "Follow me. This road is shorter. There are a lot of people on the main road right now."

Rouer walked in front and followed closest.

After making many turns, they arrived at the main street. There seemed to be a surge of people everywhere. Li Jingchen subconsciously protected Jiang Tuantuan from behind. Jiang Tuantuan quickly grabbed Mingman and Rouer, and Rouer took Huahe's hand. Beside Huahe was Meng Zifan, who was protecting him tightly.

There are so many people!

Xiao Su was no longer surprised. He continued walking a few meters and arrived at Supinlou. Everyone exclaimed in surprise, "This restaurant is so big!"

The door plaque is only two times better than Jiangweilou's, there is really no comparison!

The restaurant was also crowded with people. As soon as Xiao Su entered, a waiter came over to greet him. It seemed that Xiao Su was very familiar with him.

The waiter said, "You're really here just in time. If you were a little later, the last private room would have been gone."

When they got to the private room, there was just enough room for everyone to sit. Seeing that they were already seated, Xiao Su was about to leave. Jiang Tuantuan immediately called out, "Xiao Su, don't leave. Come eat with us. This is our way of thanking you for your hard work in leading us."

Xiao Su scratched his head and said, "This isn't a good idea. You're the residents, so it's my responsibility to lead the way for you."

"Oh, it's okay! Come and eat together."

"Well, thank you very much."

Because there were so many people and we were really craving hairy crabs, we ordered thirty of them and some other special dishes.

After waiting for half a minute, the dish finally arrived. It was a big pot full of hairy crabs, which were steamed directly and served. The fragrance filled the whole house.

No one present had ever eaten it except Jiang Tuantuan. But Jiang Tuantuan had eaten it several times in her previous life and had been craving it for a long time.

The hairy crab has a green back that is smooth and shiny, a crystal white belly, golden claws and yellow hair that is long and straight.
