Chapter 215 Heroic Competition
"Ten." Zhu Huaizhen held his rosy cheeks, blinked his eyes, and smiled as happily as a thief.
Since Chen Mingan is peeling crabs, the more the better.
"Zhenzhen, crabs are very cold in nature and it is not advisable to eat too much." Chen Ming'an couldn't help but lower his tone when he saw Lou Li was about to take the basket of steamed hairy crabs on his dining table.
"Chen Mingan, if you don't peel it, I'll eat it by myself." Zhu Huaizhen smiled like a flower, his eyes moving.
After saying this, Zhu Huaizhen cut a hairy crab into eight pieces, full of the flavor of the market.
Seeing this, Chen Mingan shook his head and laughed.
Then, he unfolded 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, axe, and a small spoon.
Chen Ming'an first grasped a pair of round-headed scissors, carefully snipping off the crab claws and legs one by one. His movements were as graceful as trimming a plate of weeping jasmine. Then, grasping a waist-shaped hammer, he measured four points on the crab shell and struck it in a circle, his movements as light as plucking the strings of a musical instrument. He then weighed a long-handled axe and delicately split the carapace and belly button. Then, with a pick, tweezers, fork, and hammer, he picked, pinched, forked, and hammered, extracting the golden, shiny crab roe and the snow-white, tender crab meat. His movements were as smooth and flowing as playing a pipa.
If it were in the past, Zhu Huaizhen would have been fascinated by it.
Just like the other women around him, regardless of whether they were married or not, they all had feelings for Chen Mingan.
Now, Zhu Huaizhen is busy eating crab meat and crab roe.
"Prince Chen, you really look like a peacock spreading its feathers." Lou Li teased.
As soon as he finished speaking, the plum blossom sleeve arrow just grazed Lou Li's face and fell.
"Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, I'm sorry, my hand slipped." Chen Ming'an said coldly.
Lou Li said "oh" and shook off a few pear blossom needles from his sleeves.
"Prince Chen, your hand slipped too." Lou Li smiled coldly.
The atmosphere between the two of them became tense.
"Your Highness, don't you want to take care of it?" Tu Mi asked in a low voice.
You should know how lazy Princess Ronghua is. She never comes to the palace unless there is something important.
"No matter." Zhu Huaizhen smiled, his grape eyes clear and bright.
So Zhu Huaizhen ate the chilled grapes by himself.
These chilled grapes require peeling and spitting out the seeds, which is very troublesome.
Zhu Huaizhen ate a few and didn't want to do it anymore.
Lou Li was very perceptive and immediately helped peel the grapes, remove the seeds, and cut them in half, which was very meticulous.
However, as Zhu Huaizhen watched, he thought of the bloody scene of Lou Li dealing with the prisoners, and he couldn't help but shudder.
"Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, you are really scared." Chen Mingan, who is usually quiet, sneered.
"Zhen'er, is that true?" Lou Li suddenly picked up a piece of grape flesh and put it on Zhu Huaizhen's lips with a resentful look in his eyes.
Zhu Huaizhen curled his lips, rolled his eyes, but still took a sip.
"Zhenzhen, I remember you like Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. I just asked the imperial kitchen to prepare it." Chen Mingan said softly.
Zhu Huaizhen really wanted to say that she didn’t want to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall tonight.
However, she thought about it again and again and was very tempted.
Sweet, heart abalone, pineapple sea cucumber, white shark lips, young deer tendons, claw meat, golden shark fin, ivory clam meat, spider fish glue, quail eggs, ham, pork ribs, clean winter bamboo shoots, king oyster mushrooms, chrysanthemum mushrooms, wild pine mushrooms, morels, snow bamboo fungus, Shaoxing wine, eighteen ingredients, eighteen delicious flavors, the moment you lift the lotus leaf covering the mouth of the jar, the rich meaty aroma is so fragrant that even a Buddha would jump over the wall.
She had a hearty meal and smiled brightly.
"Zhen'er, it's time to listen to the opera." Lou Li showed his sharp white teeth with a weird smile.
