"Aunt Cui is really thoughtful." Shen Mingzhu praised subconsciously.

Sister Yu’s husband used to grow lotus roots. Every winter he had to go to the pond to dig lotus roots, so both of them suffered from severe rheumatism. When it was windy, rainy, or when the seasons changed, their rheumatism would flare up severely.

Although the medicinal wine Cui Lianying sent was not necessarily expensive, it was very practical.

The three of them were busy in the kitchen and chatting about Cui Lianying.

After a while, Pei Ke brought Cui Lianying to the kitchen to greet her.

After saying hello, Cui Lianying rolled up his sleeves and was about to help, but Pei Wenping persuaded him to leave.

"Madam, you are a hard-working person. Uncle Pei will be blessed in the future."

Seeing Shen Mingzhu turning her head and staring at Cui Lianying's back, Sister Yu joked in a low voice.

Shen Mingzhu smiled.

She didn't care whether Cui Lianying was diligent or not, but she cared that Cui Lianying had changed a lot compared to the last time they met.

Her hair was curled, she wore jewelry on her ears and neck, and she wore a yellow and black printed dress with black pumps.

Cui Lianying is thin, and she looks quite delicate in the cheongsam.

Maybe it’s because I started to pay attention to skin care, and maybe it’s the nourishment of love, my complexion is much better than last time, my cheeks are fuller, and I put on some light makeup.

He looks at least ten years younger.

Shen Mingzhu suddenly felt that her previous idea of ​​judging people by their appearance was a bit narrow-minded.

When the dishes were served and Cui Lianying stepped forward to help, Shen Mingzhu smiled and praised his outfit.

"Aunt Cui, I haven't seen you for a while. You have become more beautiful."

Cui Lianying blushed at her praise and fiddled with the hem of her skirt nervously, "My daughter did it for me. I don't know how to do these."

No wonder the temperament is different.

Shen Mingzhu smiled and said, "This looks good. Wear it like this from now on. Women should dress beautifully. Right, uncle?"

Pei Ke nodded with a smile. He also thought Cui Lianying looked good like this and he liked her very much.

Cui Lianying's face turned even redder, and she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.

Seeing the other party's discomfort, Shen Mingzhu smiled and eased the atmosphere, "It's time to eat, everyone go wash your hands."

Zhao Yun couldn't wait any longer. When he heard that dinner was ready, he jumped for joy and ran to the bathroom.

Zhao Dafa was on a business trip in Jincheng, and Zhao Yun was alone at home, so she called her over to have dinner together.

There were eight raw pickled crabs in total, each weighing seven or eight taels.

Shen Mingzhu picked up the crab, peeled it, and cut it in half with a knife.

Pour five of the cut pickled crabs directly onto a plate with the marinade, and steam the remaining three in a pot for children and people who are not used to eating raw crabs.

Although everyone was looking forward to the crab feast tonight, when a large plate of raw marinated crabs was placed on the table, everyone was still a little hesitant.

Eating crabs is not uncommon, but eating raw crabs is the first time in the world.

Pei Wenping was skeptical, "Mingzhu, won't eating raw crabs make you have diarrhea?"

Zhao Yun was eager to try, "Aunt Mingzhu, how do you eat this raw crab?"

Shen Mingzhu first picked out a small female crab for Pei Wenping, poured some marinade on it and put it in Pei Wenping's bowl.

"Big sister, try the crab roe first. If you don't like it, I'll steam it for you."

After hearing what she said, Pei Wenping picked up a fingernail-sized piece of crab roe with chopsticks, smelled it first, and then tentatively put it into her mouth.

"How does it taste?" Pei Yang asked impatiently.

Pei Wenping slowly swallowed the crab roe, smacked her lips, and said, "It doesn't taste good, don't eat it."

Everyone looked at each other, and for a moment no one doubted Pei Wenping's words.

Raw crabs are so fishy, ​​it would be strange if they were delicious.

But then, they saw Pei Wenping picked up half a crab from the bowl and slurped up the crab roe.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she said while eating, "I can't waste it. Such an expensive crab, let me eat it alone."

Zhao Yun was the first to react, "Aunt Ping is lying!"

Shen Mingzhu also breathed a sigh of relief.

She said, how could the raw marinated crab she made not be delicious?

She picked half a plump crab piece for Cui Lianying and Pei Ke respectively, and then Pei Yang.

Zhao Yun took a big one himself.

He was not afraid of eating raw crab for the first time. He opened his mouth and slurped a big mouthful of crab roe, getting his face covered with sauce and crab roe. He looked excited as if a new world had been opened up to him.

“It’s delicious!”

Seeing him like this, Pei Yang also reached out and picked up a piece.

Guoguo has short arms and legs, and he was so anxious that he had to climb onto the dining table.

"I want some too, Mom. I want to eat some big crabs!"

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Shen Mingzhu grabbed her daughter's small tender paw and said, "You can't eat this, yours is in the pot."

Guoguo's face puffed up with anger, and his two black eyes widened.

"Everyone can eat it, why can't I, huh!"

Shen Mingzhu patted her soft belly and said, "You are still young and your resistance is weak. Eating raw crabs will cause stomach pain and worms."

Guoguo was frightened by what she said. She stared at the few remaining raw pickled crabs on the plate for a long time. Suddenly, she found that Pei Ziheng beside her didn't eat the raw pickled crabs either. A look of surprise suddenly appeared on her little face.

"Brother, can't I eat it? Will my stomach hurt or get worms if I eat it?"

Only then did Shen Mingzhu notice that her son had not eaten yet.

Pei Ziheng looked at her and responded in a low voice, "Well, brother will accompany you to eat cooked crabs."

Great, she’s not the only one who can’t eat it.

Guoguo was a lot happier.

Shen Mingzhu didn't want her son to suffer any injustice, so she promised her son last night that she would let him taste raw pickled crab today.

Thinking of this, she stood up and took her daughter away from the dining table, saying she was going to the kitchen to see if the steamed crabs were cooked. As she walked away, she turned back and winked at her son.

Eat quickly.

Pei Ziheng understood.

After the mother and daughter entered the kitchen, he picked out a smaller piece of female crab and started to taste it.

The fishy smell of crabs soaked in marinade is much lighter, and they have an extreme sweetness and a taste that is smoother than lychee meat.

The crab roe and crab paste melt in your mouth with just a sip, and then take a sip of the mellow Huadiao wine, the taste is simply amazing.

A plate of raw marinated crab was quickly finished and everyone was still wanting more.

Fortunately, there were three steamed pickled crabs to satisfy my craving.

However, after tasting the delicious taste of raw marinated crabs, eating cooked crabs did not feel that amazing.

Guoguo was still young and could not eat too many crabs, so Shen Mingzhu only peeled a little crab roe and crab meat, mixed it into the porridge and let Guoguo eat it slowly.

This meal hasn't even finished yet, but Pei Wenping is already thinking about the next one.

"Mingzhu, when are you going to make raw marinated crabs again? I want to eat two."

Zhao Yun raised his hand, not wanting to be outdone. "Aunt Mingzhu, I want two, no, four. My dad can at least eat two. He loves eating crabs."

Shen Mingzhu smiled and asked, "When will your father come back?"

"Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, he said he would come back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with me."

Shen Mingzhu smiled and said, "Okay, invite your dad to come home to eat big box crabs during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"OK!"

Then I'll call Shen Hongmei home and try to find out what Zhao Dafa is thinking.

Shen Mingzhu chewed on the crab pieces left by her daughter and pondered. (End of this chapter)
