Chapter 207 Conch
Ever since the performance of "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix", Princess Ronghua Zhu Huaizhen and Princess Rongyang Zhu Huaishu have been taking the opera to the theater together.
Orioles chirp at dawn in the jade trees of Jinling, flowers bloom early in the Qinhuai waterside pavilions. Who knew the ice would melt so easily? I watched him build his red mansion, I watched him entertain guests, and I watched his mansion collapse. Here, amidst the mossy, blue tiles, I once slept in a dreamlike state; I've witnessed fifty years of rise and fall. No one in Wuyi Lane is surnamed Wang, ghosts cry at Mochou Lake, and owls roost on Phoenix Terrace. Dreams of the ruined mountains are the most real, the old land hard to lose. I don't believe this map is changing manuscripts. I'll compose a lament for Jiangnan, and sing it until I grow old.
Tsk tsk, it’s still "Peach Blossom Fan", paired with a mouthful of rich and colorful, sesame salt, bamboo shoots, chestnuts, loofah kernels, walnut kernels, spring immortal seagull, swan osmanthus, rose, and Lu'an sparrow tongue bud tea, it is the most perfect.
Of course, Zhu Huaizhen doesn't like perfection.
The one who likes perfection is Zhu Huaishu.
"Your Highness, the Bai family member who came this time is from our branch. He is the cousin of Princess Rongyang." Tu Mi said softly.
"Which cousin? I remember that my elder sister has many cousins." Zhu Huaizhen held up her rosy cheeks, smiling like a flower, her eyes moving.
"Zhen'er, it's just a change of surname. I won't force you." Zhu Huaishu sighed helplessly.
Zhu Huaishu was worried that Zhu Huaizhen would resort to conspiracy and murder for her sake.
"The son of the former head of the Bai family." Tu Mi whispered.
"No." Zhu Huaishu answered first.
Seeing this, Zhu Huaizhen realized that his elder sister was feeling guilty.
Alas, my elder sister has a set of moral standards that cannot be crossed.
"Then let's not meet." Zhu Huaizhen waved his hand indifferently.
However, the next day, another cousin came.
This time, my cousin is extremely talented and has outstanding manners, and is the candidate for the next head of the Bai family.
"Are you here empty-handed?" Zhu Huaizhen asked proactively.
"No, I brought three baskets of conchs." Tu Mi said coldly.
"That's him." Zhu Huaizhen smiled brightly.
After speaking, Zhu Huaishu looked at Zhu Huaizhen, as if thinking about something.
However, when it came time to receive his cousin, Zhu Huaizhen's eyes were full of conch shells, and Zhu Huaishu had to take the trouble to chat with his cousin.
There are many types of conchs, such as flower conch, fragrant conch, cat's eye conch, big rattling conch, red conch, emerald green conch, etc.
Flower conch is used to scoop out juice, fragrant conch is blanched, cat-eye conch is stir-fried with chili pepper, large conch is grilled, red conch is stir-fried with sauce, and emerald green conch is half boiled and half baked with salt.
Awww, Zhu Huaizhen was really looking forward to this conch feast.
The meat of the flower snail is crispy and tender, the fragrant snail is smooth and refreshing, the cat's eye snail is fat and tender, the red snail is relatively delicate, the large conch is very fat, and as for the emerald green snail, it is so delicious that it makes your teeth fall off.
While Zhu Huaizhen was enjoying his meal, Zhu Huaishu fell into deep thought.
"Nanchu is not near the sea, so it is already difficult to eat abalone, let alone conch." Zhu Huaishu muttered to himself.
You know, she spent a lot of effort on preparing the abalone.
"There are many sea areas in Northern Jin." Zhu Huaizhen said slowly.
After saying this, Zhu Huaizhen began to think about selling these conch shells to the craftsmen. The raw material for mother-of-pearl craftsmanship is conch shells, and these conch shells happen to be colorful, so they should be very beautiful when processed.
"The Bai family actually defected to Northern Jin." Zhu Huaishu couldn't help but laugh.
The future head of the Bai family was actually trying to warn Zhu Huaishu.
Even if you change your surname to Bai, you don't have to covet the position of the head of the Bai family.
Because the Bai family relied on the Northern Jin Dynasty, they would not be afraid of either the Northern Zhou Dynasty or the Southern Yan Dynasty.
"That's a good thing. Otherwise, big sister can pretend to have received a mother-of-pearl jewelry box." Zhu Huaizhen joked.
Then, the future head of the Bai family must consider whether his support in Beijin is more solid or his elder sister's support in Beijin is more solid.
Sure enough, three days later, Zhu Huaizhen actually received an octagonal lidded box with a tortoise-shell and mother-of-pearl pattern of lotus and mandarin ducks.
Zhu Huaizhen wanted to laugh. This must be Ali's masterpiece.
