Chapter 192 Seafood Feast
Jiang Hongyu looked towards the shore. The two people brought by Xiaowu had anxious faces, pushing and shoving each other, and it seemed that neither of them wanted to go into the sea.
Xiao Wu pulled him aside and said, "Don't worry about them. They don't even know how to go to the beach. Teach me how to go to the beach. Do you still have this hat?"
Xiaowu was very moved when he saw the hat on Jiang Hongyu's head, and his eyes were full of desire.
Jiang Hongyu did not take it off: "This is a fisherman's hat. You are here on behalf of the county magistrate. How can you wear such a hat?"
Xiaowu is not the kind of person who pays special attention to his image, otherwise he would not walk barefoot on the beach. He directly reached out to take off the hat on Jiang Hongyu's head.
"I'll just wear it for a while and then I'll give it back to you."
Jiang Hongyu had no choice but to take off the hat and put it on his head.
He pushed down the brim of his hat, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his face. He looked at Jiang Hongyu and asked, "Does this hat look good on me?"
The corner of Jiang Hongyu's mouth twitched, and he looked at Ye Mingzhu again: "Do I look like a fisherman now?"
Ye Mingzhu really didn't understand Xiaowu's train of thought. Wouldn't it be good to be a nobleman? Why did he have to be a fisherman? According to her, he was just bored.
"Don't I look like a fisherman?" Xiao Wu saw Ye Mingzhu was silent, so he simply squatted down and looked at the stone behind Ye Mingzhu: "Little brother, do you think I look better than him in this hat?"
His finger pointed at Jiang Hongyu, while Shitou looked up at Ye Mingzhu.
This hat is used to block the sun and prevent the face from getting tanned. When he wears it, no one can see his face, so how can he be handsome?
Ye Mingzhu pulled Shitou out from behind her and said, "Shitou, this is Brother Xiaowu. Take him to the beach to see if there are any seafood to pick up."
Xiao Wu immediately stood up and looked at Shitou with sparkling eyes: "Yes, yes, little brother, take me to find seafood, I, I'll give this to you."
Xiaowu took out a piece of silver from his pocket, about two or three taels, but Shitou stepped back in fear.
He had never seen so much silver in his life.
Ye Mingzhu directly took the silver from Xiaowu and handed it to Shitou: "Shitou, this brother has money, just take him for a walk."
Shitou unconsciously clenched his fists, feeling the hardness of the silver, and instantly a bright smile appeared on his face: "Okay, I'll take Brother Xiaowu to pick up seafood."
Watching Shitou take Xiaowu away, Jiang Hongyu stood next to Ye Mingzhu and smiled: "Xiaowu was just taking a look, and you found him a helper?"
Ye Mingzhu gestured for him to walk to the shore: "Xiao Wu is a stranger after all, and he is sent by the county government. It's not good for him to get too close to me. It's better to assign the stone to him, and no one will say anything."
As they were talking, Jiang Hongyu and Ye Mingzhu had already come ashore. The two people on the shore immediately came over and said, "Master Jiang, is it okay for Master Cui to be on the beach by himself?"
Jiang Hongyu said calmly, "How about you go down and accompany Master Cui?"
The two looked at each other and were reluctant to go down, fearing that the sea water would dirty their clothes.
Jiang Hongyu ignored the two of them, walked to the side, rinsed Ye Mingzhu's feet with the clean water he brought with him, and asked her to put on her shoes.
The two sat on the shore for a while, and Jiang Hongyu's face was sunburned red. She shouted to the beach, "Shitou, go home."
On the beach, Xiaowu seemed not to hear the stone being urged to catch the crabs running sideways.
Shitou glanced at the shore worriedly: "Sister Mingzhu told us to go back."
"Why don't you catch the crab first, and then go back." Xiaowu saw that the crab was about to run away, so he immediately reached out to catch it. He was almost pinched by the crab. He was so scared that he quickly retracted his hand. In the end, Shitou caught the crab.
Xiaowu wanted to go find other seafood, but Shitou firmly disagreed and insisted on going back to the shore.
At this time, Ye Mingzhu called Shitou again, and Shitou immediately pulled Xiaowu's sleeve and walked towards the shore.
Xiao Wu wanted to shake him off, but was afraid of hurting him, so he finally said, "Let me go, I'll walk by myself."
Shitou ignored him and kept walking towards the shore. He only let go of Xiaowu when he reached Ye Mingzhu.
"Sister Mingzhu, this is the seafood we just picked up." Shi Tou handed the basket in his hand to Ye Mingzhu.
"You kid, we picked these up together." Xiao Wu looked at the crabs that were about to jump out of the basket with some reluctance.
Ye Mingzhu handed the basket directly to him: "Then let's try your cooking skills for dinner tonight."
Xiao Wu took a step back, his expression changed, and a smile appeared on his face: "I picked these up for you. I will listen to Brother Jiang."
Jiang Hongyu took the basket directly: "Okay, let's go back first, these things need to be dealt with."
The two people waiting nearby immediately brought Xiaowu's shoes and socks over: "Master Cui, please put on your shoes and socks quickly, don't catch a cold."
Xiao Wu's smile faded: "No need for you, I can put it on myself."
Xiao Wu put on his socks and followed Jiang Hongyu and Ye Mingzhu. "I'm going to visit the village chief and then I'll be back for dinner."
Jiang Hongyu glanced at the two people behind Xiaowu, and Xiaowu immediately said, "They won't eat with me."
The two people behind him: ...Are you not allowed to eat?
Jiang Hongyu nodded without saying anything. They parted at the fork in the road. Xiaowu took his two men to the village chief's house, while Jiang Hongyu, Ye Mingzhu and Shitou went to the Jiang family.
When they arrived at the Jiang family, Shitou took out the silver Xiaowu had given him and said he wanted to split it in half with Ye Mingzhu. Ye Mingzhu would never take a child's money, so she told him to keep it for himself.
Shitou saw that Ye Mingzhu really didn't want it, so he put the silver away and said, "I'll go home and give it to my mother later."
"Sister Mingzhu, I'll go help my brother-in-law cook. You just wait outside and eat."
Ye Mingzhu grabbed the stone. She had reason to suspect that Ye Yun'an had said outside that he couldn't cook.
Shitou saw that Ye Mingzhu had a bad expression on her face and immediately explained: "Xiao Anzi said he can cook. It doesn't matter if Sister Mingzhu can't cook."
Ye Mingzhu: ...Ye Yun'an talks too much.
In the end, Ye Mingzhu went to the kitchen because she was afraid that Jiang Hongyu would not be able to cook the seafood well.
The seafood for dinner was prepared according to Ye Mingzhu's instructions and by Jiang Hongyu. Looking at the table full of seafood emitting fragrance, Shitou's saliva was about to drip.
Ye Mingzhu looked at the sky. It was about to get dark, and seafood couldn't be eaten cold. She pushed Jiang Hongyu and said, "Go to the village chief's house and see if Xiaowu is coming tonight."
Jiang Hongyu took off the apron in his hand and walked out, running into Xiaowu who followed him in.
"Ouch." Xiao Wu yelled, "My head."
Ye Mingzhu didn't see the two of them collide. When she heard the noise, she came over and saw him covering his head. She thought he was hurt: "Brother Yu, is Xiaowu's head hurt? Are you okay?"
Jiang Hongyu raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiaowu, who covered his head and groaned, "Ouch, my head hurts. Shouldn't I eat something good to replenish it?"
Ye Mingzhu: ...
