"This is so delicious! If it could be sold on the market, I'm sure many people would love it."
Lin Ziwen shook his head: "There weren't many of these to begin with, and nobody recognized them, so we just fished them up ourselves to eat. We might even offer them to you in the future."
Su Lixia waved her hand: "No way, we Central Plains people also love food and are good at discovering things. They can probably discover this too. It's just that we haven't seen it in the palace yet. If you present it, what if some minister has seen it before but just calls it a different name? Wouldn't you be extremely embarrassed? You should present something that only you have here."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ziwen nodded: "What the princess said makes a lot of sense."
"Want to drink?" Lin Ziwen asked again.
Su Lixia shook her head: "I won't drink today. Besides, the liquor here is strong. I'll get drunk after just a couple of sips. How can I enjoy this delicious crab then?"
Lin Ziwen laughed twice: "Then Princess, you should eat well. When we get back, I'll go find some of your favorite drinks and bring them over so we can have some more."
Su Lixia nodded: "Okay, okay."
After saying that, Su Lixia picked up another crab and said, "But speaking of which, your friend is quite capable. It would be great if we could get to know each other. Just looking at all the things he helped you with, I feel like I could have a lot to talk about with him."
"He was a man of unique thinking, a rare talent. It's just a pity that he retired to the mountains and forests, and it's hard to see him again."
Su Lixia sighed with regret: "We are somewhat destined to be apart, but at least we were able to see these things, which is quite an eye-opener. It's not a loss, not a loss."
Lin Ziwen smiled and said, "So the princess also appreciates talent."
Su Lixia waved her hand and said, "That's not very accurate. It should be said that we've lost a good friend and confidant."
Lin Ziwen raised an eyebrow: "If that's what the princess says, then I'll introduce you to her when the opportunity arises."
Su Lixia picked up a crab claw and gnawed on it, then nodded.
After a while, the two finished their meal. Each of them had three crabs, and there were still two left. Su Lixia unceremoniously let Xiaolian take them away.
"If the princess likes it, we'll steam some more tonight; these are all cold now."
Su Lixia shook her head: "Let me tell you, there shouldn't be only one way to cook crabs."
Lin Ziwen couldn't help but wonder, "What else does the princess think should be done?"
"Everything requires trying. If we don't try to improve, how will we have so many delicious foods?"
Lin Ziwen nodded and hummed in agreement: "What the princess said makes sense. So, what does the princess mean?"
"Why don't we try another approach? I wonder if Young Master Lin would be willing to trust me?"
"If the princess wants to try other methods, that's fine too, as long as the princess is willing."
Su Lixia clapped her hands: "Okay, it's a deal! Call me when it's time to cook, and I'll show you my skills."
Actually, Lin Ziwen was still a little worried. After all, this thing was precious, and he was really reluctant to part with it, but... what could he do?
"Great, that would be an honor."
Su Lixia smiled slightly, then suddenly realized what to do that evening. Since she could eat it, she might as well try something different!
"Does the princess want to go back to her room to rest now?" Lin Ziwen asked.
"Okay, let's go back. The same room as last time?"
Lin Ziwen nodded: "Since the princess has already stayed here, no one else will be allowed to stay here. So the princess can stay however she likes."
