Chapter 301: Seafood Still Needs the Best From the Unbound S

rd to take you away>>> 。He is right, the snow is too slippery and it's easy to fall. 。"No, I used to walk on the roof like that all the time. " 。“I liked standing on the roof from when I was six or se...In ancient times, a country wasn't as large as it is today. Even the southernmost regions didn't have such a significant temperature difference between north and south as there is now. 。Lin'an in winter is definitely warmer than here, being further south. However, it does snow and freeze there as well. 。So every year during the Lunar New Year, people from the south transport seafood to the north, mainly fish and shrimp. 。Of course, not just anyone could enter Lin'an City. And because it was too far from the South Sea, the fish and shrimp that merchants had to sell couldn't reach this side. 。If someone from Lin'an wanted to eat seafood from the South China Sea, they could only ask someone with connections to bring it, or ask relatives returning to Beijing from the south to bring some. 。The South China Sea is boundless. Northern Qi had a large camp outside the city on the border of the boundless sea, with soldiers rotating every year. During the Chinese New Year, a batch of soldiers would return to the capital. The camp also allowed them to bring some seafood to give to their relatives in the capital. 。As a result, people in Beijing knew that they could eat Hainanese fish and shrimp before and after the New Year's Day, and they all looked forward to it. 。These matters, Grandma recounted as she walked, explaining them to Ye Wenyan. After listening, Ye Wenyan asked Grandma, “I’ve heard that the Wulao Sea has a sea formation, shrouded in fog all year round. How can they still fish Can just anyone go out to sea”Grandma laughed, “How could anyone just go out to sea! Only our people from Beiqi can, because we in Beiqi have an imperial…” 。The Emperor used his magical powers to create a protective barrier over a fifty-li radius of sea, ensuring the fishermen of Bei Qi would have plenty to eat and experience calm seas. 。As for nationals of other countries, that is absolutely forbidden from entering the Sea of No Shores. 。"

Ye Wen nodded, so that's how it was >>> 。She still thought that the boundless sea could be navigated and even contemplated building a large ship to see if it was possible to reach the west coast. 。That's where Ah-heng is. If she could see Ah-heng, she would be so happy that she would jump for joy. 。Also, there's A-Ran. Qingqing A-Ran is here too, she came back after changing her fate. But where will A-Ran goThe Cold Fragrance Courtyard isn't far from her courtyard, just a short walk away. 。Mu and Ye Qingmei were both there, but Ye Feiyu was not at home. Ye Qingmei pulled her: "Brother went to Li's medical hall. Since he has no hope of passing the imperial examination and has never learned martial arts, it is better for him to do something meaningful than just idling at home." 。Brother, you should give me the bed next to the clinic. 。Yaner, I've thought about it. We are sisters, so being polite and keeping things distant isn't really necessary, is it It just feels awkward. So if you want that shop, just take it. Then ask brother to connect the two shops and we can open a medical clinic together. 。" It's great that you think that way, sister," Ye Wen said happily. "We don't need to be polite between us. The more polite we are, the more distant we become. It's best to just ask for what we want and give what we have." 。"If you keep being so polite to me, I'll be embarrassed to ask for anything, right" She took Ye Qingmei's arm. "I'm the baby of the family, and I'll be relying on my older siblings to take care of me in the future. When that time comes, I won't be so polite with you guys anymore." 。"

Ye Qingmei listened and laughed, "I like your coquettish behavior when you have nothing to do. Just like when you always clung to me and my brother, secretly taking you out to buy candy. At that time, I thought, if my younger sister could always be this good>>> 。"Of course, sister, don't worry. There will be plenty of opportunities to get you in trouble later on." 。Mu looked at the two sisters so close to each other and was delighted. She reached out and beckoned them: "Come in quickly and eat dumplings, it's cold outside, let's talk inside." 。Yaner, you're finally back! We haven't had lunch yet, we were all waiting for you. 。"Grandma, why don't you take them to eat with us too! The same filling, all saved for you!" Dan Nuo walked forward with a smile, warmly greeting Zhuai'er and Xiangdong: "I haven't eaten either, let's go together..." 。Today's dumplings have shrimp in them, they are very fresh, I've never eaten them before. 。" The little girl, Zhu'er, was already famished and couldn't wait any longer. Xiang Dong felt a bit restrained, "Shouldn't we be serving the masters Besides, those precious things... I'm a bit reluctant to part with them, it's better if we leave them for the masters." Dan Nuo chuckled, "These were given by the masters as rewards. Receiving them is a way of expressing gratitude, there's no need to be polite." 。"Grandma, is this the reason"

Grandma also smiled and nodded, "That's right." 。Besides, shrimp is not a rare delicacy. If you like it, I can go get some more tomorrow. 。If you fancy it often in the future, old woman can also think of a way. 。Xiāng Dōng heard this and immediately had a good idea in her mind. The Jì family of Quanzhou were slaves to the Emperor, so they could have anything they wanted. Several maidservants then giggled and bowed to Mrs. Mù, expressing their gratitude. Following Dān Nòu and Granny Jì, they went to the side hall for a meal. 。Ye Wen was pulled by Mu Shi to the flower hall. Three people sat around a table, just right. 。She loves this kind of family atmosphere because it reminds her of the feeling of her ancestral home from her past life. 。The Ye family is not as cold as the Bai family, but it is not as harmonious as the Feng family either. 。The Ye family also had conflicts, but they were all about minor branches and relatives by marriage. The core members of the family who lived in the main house were united, all obeyed their grandfather, and trusted her as the young head of the family. 。It's a pity that she had no brother in the Ye family, so there wasn't someone like Ye Qingcheng in her past life who was always following her around like a shadow. 。She always treated Quencheng as a substitute for Yecheng, and the Mu clan as a substitute for her mother in her past life. Even the deceased General Ye Lao was, in her heart, a grandfather figure to her. 。This wasn't about her being overly sentimental; she just didn't want to forget the place she had once lived in, nor the people she had once shared life with. 。She fears time travel, always for a while she treats all of her past life as a dream, unable to tell if it was Zhuang Zhou dreaming of being a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou. 。She doesn't want to be lost, nor does she want to forget. She has to keep remembering, both times and spaces, have once been here. 。“Dumplings made by my mother are especially delicious.” 。She stared at the large piece of shrimp clearly visible in the dumpling and sighed, "Dumplings are best with seafood filling, it's tastier than meat." 。It would be nice if we lived by the sea, there are so many seafoods in the ocean that can be used to cook. 。“What do you mean by seafood” “It’s any creature living in the sea, like fish, shrimp, crabs and so on. They are all called seafood.” 。Ye Qingmei asked again, “Are crabs the kind with lots of legs that walk sideways I saw a drawing of one in a book. It looked very strange and rather frightening.” 。Its shell is very hard, and it wraps the meat inside. If you want to eat the meat inside, you have to smash the shell completely. 。We all call it crab roe, but it's the first time I've heard it called crab. 。"Yan'er, did you choose this name yourself" "No..." 。“Ye Wen shook his head. ‘I heard others call it that, so I followed suit.’” 。"Sister, haven't you ever eaten crab" Then she thought again, "Maybe it's because Lin'an is too far from the sea, and crabs can't be transported here" "That's probably it!" Ye Qingmei also couldn't say for sure about this reason. "Anyway, I've only ever seen them in books, never eaten one." 。"Having heard their discussion, Mu said, "The sea closest to the capital is still three hundred li away. It's too far." 。Such things as crab roe are best eaten immediately after being caught. If they are left for too long, they will spoil and may even make people sick. 。Moreover, the recent waters are not very large and freeze over in winter, so even during winter it is impossible to fish. 。People in the Nansha area often eat crab roe, but the road is too far. Even if it's brought back frozen, no one dares to eat it. 。"

Night Wen Yan nodded, "So that's how it is, what a pity. Crabs are delicious, and the roe can be made into crab paste. Add some salt, and it can be stored for a long time."

She must be drooling a little. Lin'an City is great in every way, except for the seafood. Since she arrived here, she hasn't had a proper seafood meal yet. She's craving it so badly. 。Another dumpling was stuffed into her mouth. Ye Qingmei smiled and said to her, "Are you eating out of revenge Are you craving seafood, using these shrimp noodles to satisfy your cravings It's a pity there aren't many shrimp, the South China Sea is too far away, it's not easy to bring them back here." 。But according to seafood lovers, the best ones are still from the South China Sea. They are big and fresh tasting. 。If you ever have the chance to go there, make sure to eat your fill. 。The original owner hadn't really eaten much seafood, mostly just fish and shrimp. They were brought back by someone when the old general was still alive. 。Back then, the whole family ate big pot meals together in the flower hall. Even though the old general favored her more than anyone else, he only gave her some of his shrimp and wouldn't let her take any from others. 。This back and forth, the original owner felt that eating this kind of thing was meaningless. After all, they only ate it once a year, and at most two or three times. With the head and shell removed, how much meat would be left So gradually, they stopped eating it. 。As for the crabs, the original owner had indeed never eaten them, which Mu Shi knew clearly, and Ye Qingmei also knew. 。But the two of them understood each other tacitly and neither pierced through her facade nor probed into when she had actually eaten it. 。The family acted as if nothing had happened, laughing and joking. Ye Qingmei even taught her how to pick out dumplings with the most shrimp meat. 。Ye Wen felt that this was a good thing. She didn't deliberately conceal it, and even showed many flaws at the New Year's Eve palace banquet. 。Mu and Ye Qingmei did not deliberately seek the truth, and even after having some guesses, they treated her more like family. 。This was the outcome she desired most, and it should be what Mu's family wanted as well! The original owner couldn't come back. On the night of her seventh day memorial, she had already given Mu's family a chance to mourn for their beloved daughter. 。To have cried is to say goodbye. From now on, she will take over and live the rest of this life in his place. 。Whether it's the past joy or future hardships, everything will be borne by her in place of the original owner. 。Mu shi and Ye Qingmei, including Ye Feiyu, are all intelligent people who know how to make choices and understand what true reminiscence is. 。"If there's a chance in the future, let's go together" 。“As for Mu Shi, as long as Mother agrees, it would be easy to leave this mansion of a First Rank General.” 。I know that Mom still carries those past years in her heart, so I won't push. All I want to let Mom know is that her daughter can protect you, and she can also protect your brother and sister. 。Wherever in the world you want to go, we can set off immediately. 。The crabs from the South China Sea taste even better when our family eats them together. 。By the time they had eaten half their meal, the servants returned, but they were not as happy as they had been when they first went to eat dumplings. 。Ye Wen was taken aback and asked them, "What's wrong"ng, she cried out: "Old Madam, save me! The mistress and elder sister want to kill me and silence me!" Ye Qingmei didn't get it back, the purse quickly reached the hands of the old lady, who was caref...
