Chapter 424 Crazy Criticism
In the blink of an eye, it is late autumn.
Zhu Huaizhen was still lying on the black lacquered and gold-painted beauty couch surrounded by scrolls of poetry and paintings, waving a round fan with a mahogany handle embroidered with pomegranates, cats and butterflies, and moving it intermittently, as lazy as a Persian cat, while listening to "Peach Blossom Fan".
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.
Zhu Huaizhen held the glass teacup and drank the rich and colorful tea, which was filled with sesame, salt, bamboo shoots, chestnuts, loofah kernels, and walnut kernels. He drank the swan osmanthus, rose, and brine Lu'an sparrow tongue bud tea, squinting his big grape eyes with happiness, and then wondered whether he wanted to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
At this time, Tu Mi brought three baskets of crabs.
"Was it a gift from my elder sister?" Zhu Huaizhen touched his chin, thoughtfully.
Tu Mi opened the bamboo basket and showed it to Zhu Huaizhen.
She originally thought that Zhu Huaizhen was very happy.
Because there are so many varieties of crabs, they are hard to buy on the market.
There are crystal crabs, which have a snow-white appearance, almost transparent in color, and have tender white meat that is sweet, fine and smooth.
There are Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, which are clean and free of mud, with green shells, white bellies, golden claws and yellow hairs, and greasy meat.
There is the Yangjiang red flower crab, which has a light red shell, six-spined frontal horns, and sweet and plump meat.
There is the Zhoushan swimming crab, whose cephalothorax is spindle-shaped, and whose body is large, meaty, and fat.
There is the Dongyi red-haired crab, which is bright red in color, has a beautiful shape, firm meat, and a fragrant smell of the sea.
There are stone crabs, which come in golden, scarlet, and cobalt blue, and are meaty and sweet.
There are red-haired crabs, which can be cooked in salt water. The crab meat is plump, rich in crab flavor, and very delicious.
"Tu Mi, please take Qiu Niang to visit your elder sister." Zhu Huaizhen rubbed his forehead and sighed helplessly.
The elder sister was seriously injured, so she used crabs to comfort her.
After hearing this, Tu Mi frowned and muttered to himself: "Your Highness, it shouldn't be that serious..."
However, her Highness had a plan for everything.
She asked Qiu Niang to teach the cook how to cook the crabs.
Then, she and Qiu Niang rode at full speed and headed straight to Princess Rongyang Zhu Huaishu.
This crab is delicious whether it is steamed, braised, salt-baked, braised, pan-fried, deep-fried, or pickled raw.
Unfortunately, Zhu Huaizhen felt bored and speechless as he ate.
"Zhenzhen, don't worry, Princess Rongyang will be fine." Lou Li said softly.
After saying that, Lou Li continued to peel the crab.
A set of eight exquisite silver crab pieces, namely a small square table, a waist-shaped hammer, a long-handled axe, a long-handled fork, round-headed scissors, tweezers, a pick, and a small spoon, were like handy weapons. Lou Li wielded them neatly, as if he was torturing a prisoner.
Especially the golden crab roe and tender white crab meat, which were peeled off from the crab shell thoroughly, which shows that the chef is very skilled.
Of course, Zhu Huaizhen didn’t think much about it, nor did he have the leisure to do so.
She held her rosy cheeks and was thinking about how to make Emperor Xuan of Yan go crazy.
She didn't plan to wait any longer. Anyone who dared to hurt her elder sister should die as soon as possible.
"Zhenzhen, why bother so much? Just use poison." Lou Li wiped his hands with a white handkerchief, poked Zhu Huaizhen's little face, shook his head and laughed.
"What kind of poison?" Zhu Huaizhen became interested, his eyes clear and bright.
