Chapter 195: Full House of Guests
The day before Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiao Yeyang sent someone to deliver hairy crabs.
Looking at the five large bamboo baskets full of hairy crabs, Daohua's face was full of joy. She pulled Old Lady Yan and said directly that they could eat as much as they wanted during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Yan Zhiyuan glanced through the main basket and exclaimed in amazement, "It's truly worthy of being a tribute to the royal family. This hairy crab must weigh at least a pound, right?" He smiled at Daohua and said, "Thanks to Daohua, our family is in for a treat today."
Madam Li estimated that the hairy crabs delivered weighed at least 100 kilograms. She then looked at Daohua and said, "Don't be so happy. Don't you have a return gift? Why don't you take it quickly?"
After hearing this, Daohua immediately left with a smile.
"This is for Xiao Yeyang!"
"This belongs to Brother Dong, Brother Su, and Brother Zhou."
"This belongs to my three older brothers."
"This is a gift for my three brothers."
Because she sent watermelons and grapes last time, Daohua only separated out Xiao Yeyang's. The last time she came, Su Hongxin stopped her and complained.
So this time, she learned her lesson and put labels on the mooncake boxes she gave to each person.
"By the way, Man'er, go to the wine cellar and get a jar of the rice wine I brewed earlier. Xiao Yeyang and the others will definitely want to eat crabs, and rice wine is perfect with them."
Wang Man'er asked, "Would you like a jar of osmanthus wine?"
Daohua thought for a moment and said, "Let's take a jar too. The alcohol content of that wine is not high, so I think it won't make you drunk."
Moon cakes, rice wine, osmanthus wine, osmanthus cakes, various seasonal fruits and vegetables, a few bamboo tubes of jasmine tea and a bag of roasted five-spice sunflower seeds were piled up before he stopped.
Compared with the things Xiao Yeyang gave her, the things she gave her were not very valuable. She could only eat something fresh and unusual. So, she could only make up for it by quantity.
The person who delivered the hairy crabs looked at the two full carts and his mouth twitched.
One car when coming, two cars when leaving.
Judging from the quantity, the little prince still made the profit.
Wangyue Academy.
After the things were delivered back, Xiao Yeyang asked Yan Wenkai and his group to go to his yard to get the things.
"Hehe, this time, we also have our own mooncakes, so we don't have to rush to eat them with Wenxiu and the others." Su Hongxin quickly took the two boxes of mooncakes with his name on them and put them aside, then leaned over to look at others'.
Seeing that everyone had about the same taste, he turned back and opened the mooncake box, picked up a piece and started eating: "Well, this mooncake tastes really good."
Suddenly, a hand reached out.
“Bang!”
Su Hongxin slapped Yan Wenkai's hand away, protecting his food box, and looked at Yan Wenkai warily: "What are you doing? This mooncake is mine. If you want to eat it, eat your own."
Yan Wenkai curled his lips and said, "It's just a mooncake, why are you so stingy?"
Su Hongxin quickly closed the box: "I am stingy. Sister Yan gave you so much, and you still miss me. Don't you feel guilty?"
Yan Wenkai: "What do you mean there's so much? There's only one box for us to eat, and the rest are for teachers and classmates. You guys all got two boxes, so what's wrong with giving me one?"
Su Hongxin was unmoved: "Then you can also not send it to me, just keep it for yourself."
Yan Wenkai was speechless. If he dared not to send it, his elder brother would definitely beat him up. Maybe even his box would be confiscated.
"Hey, little prince, why is the shape of your mooncake different from ours?" After Su Hongxin handed the mooncake to the servant and put it away, he turned around and saw Xiao Yeyang opening the mooncake box. He immediately widened his eyes and moved closer.
"Ours are all flower-shaped, why is yours a pig's head?"
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Su Hongxin. Because he was in a good mood at the moment, he didn't argue with him. He just quickly closed the box and said, "Is it okay for me to like pig heads?"
Su Hongxin opened his eyes and said, "Oh, I see. My little prince, you are born in the year of the pig, so Sister Yan made the mooncakes into a pig's head, right?"
Xiao Yeyang didn't say anything, but he thought so in his heart. However, he didn't tell Daohua that he was born in the year of the pig. Could it be that Wen Kai and the others told him?
He felt excited when he thought that Daohua specially made mooncakes in the shape of his zodiac sign.
If Daohua knew, she would definitely explain that she really didn't know. When she was making the mooncakes, she just wanted to imply something to Xiao Yeyang, saying that he was a pig's head, so she made it like this.
Su Hongxin clapped his hands and said, "I'm also born in the Year of the Pig. Why don't you make my mooncakes into pig heads? Don't tell me, that pig head is pretty cute."
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang immediately glared at Su Hongxin with a bad look: "You talk too much."
Su Hongxin: Uh. What did he say? Why is he talking so much?
Yan Wenkai walked over and patted him on the shoulder. "You've indeed talked too much. What's the use of a pig's head? We're all going to be eaten, right? Why do you care what shape it is? As long as it tastes good, isn't that enough? No need to bother."
Su Hongxin was speechless.
Why was he meddling? The prince's mooncakes could be made into pig heads, but his couldn't?
Sister Yan is so hateful. She treats people differently. I will have to talk about her next time I see her.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhou Jingwan came to Yan's house early in the morning.
When Daohua saw her maid holding something, she immediately smiled and said, "Just come, why bring a gift?"
Zhou Jingwan's face froze, and she smiled awkwardly, "It's not a gift, it's a tool for eating crabs."
Daohua's smile faded, and she pretended to be angry and said, "You come to my house as a guest, and you actually bring tools with you. Do you have the nerve to do that?"
Zhou Jingwan came forward, took Daohua's arm and shook it, saying, "Good Daohua, we are so familiar with each other now, am I not being polite to you?"
Daohua rolled her eyes at her and said, "You'd better be more reserved with me." Then she stretched her head to look at the tools in the maid's hand and said, "What tools are there? They seem so complicated."
Zhou Jingwan immediately pulled Daohua to sit down and explained everything to her one by one: "Don't worry, I'll make it for you when we eat crabs later."
Wang Man'er also stretched her head to look at the tools, and then said, "Girl, you also have tools for eating crabs."
Daohua was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise, "Mom prepared it?"
Wang Man'er shook her head: "No, it was given together with the crabs. I took a look and it's similar to Miss Zhou's. It's in Madam's possession."
Hearing this, Zhou Jingwan felt jealous: "The young prince is really partial. Not only did he give you Yanghu hairy crabs, he also sent you eight kinds of crab dishes."
Daohua's eyebrows curved immediately: "This guy is quite considerate." After saying that, she pretended not to care and curled her lips and said: "He must be disgusted with me, thinking that I am unsophisticated and have never eaten crabs. That's why he even gave me the tools as well."
Seeing her like this, Zhou Jingwan felt a little annoyed: "Alright, stop being so naive here and act like a good kid. Hurry up and send someone to check if the hairy crabs are ready."
Daohua nodded and asked Lixia to go to the kitchen: "Let's go, let's go to my grandmother's yard and wait."
forecourt.
Everyone has a day off during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but on this day, many people come to see Yan Zhigao. They all sit still and talk to Yan Zhigao about all sorts of things.
Around noon, Zhou Jingwan's father, Zhou Guangyi, also came over with a jar of rice wine in his hand.
"Hey, everyone is here, why don't you go home to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Everyone looked at him and complained in their hearts, didn’t you go home either?
Zhou Guangyi smiled and raised the rice wine in his hand: "This jar of rice wine of mine is several decades old. I thought I couldn't drink this fine wine alone, so I came to see Master Yan."
Yan Zhigao smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, you've come at the perfect time. I'm just short of a jar of fine wine."
It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the house was full of guests and friends. Yan Zhigao was very happy, and the arrival of the eldest master of the Zhou family made him feel even more honored.
However, he would have been happier if it had been at another time.
Now all the guys sitting in his study are waiting to eat his hairy crabs.
Thinking of the origin of hairy crabs, Yan Zhigao once again sighed in his heart what his mother said. The eldest daughter is indeed the lucky star of the Yan family.
Down below, Instructor Zhu was very moved when he saw the eldest master of the Zhou family also coming to the Yan Mansion.
The Yan family is really different now than it used to be.
