Poisonous Peasant 'Concubine'

Chapter 573 Big Crab, The Yao Family's Concerns

Xiaotuanzi's bed-wetting time made the whole family dumbfounded, but he himself forgot all about the sea crabs that Yan Yi specially asked to send back. He squatted in the yard all afternoon watching those crabs that were put in the big wooden basin , when there are really crabs as big as ordinary earthen pots, Ling Jingxuan was shocked when he saw them. They are almost like king crabs. It may be that people here do not eat them all year round, and the environment is not polluted, so they grow so big tall?

"Daddy, is this really edible?"

Seeing his father, Xiaotuanzi happily ran over and hugged his leg, raised his head and asked enthusiastically.

"Well, yes, and it's delicious."

Stretching out his hand to pinch his cheek, Ling Jingxuan walked over and grabbed a crab for a closer look. Not only was it big, but the crab legs were thick, and it was also very clean. The crabs raised in fresh water in modern society couldn't compare with it. He who has never been too gluttonous can't help but look forward to it.

"This stuff is covered in shells, how do you eat it?"

Yan Shengrui hugged his son and asked casually, obviously he didn't believe the deliciousness he said, Ling Jingxuan didn't bother to explain to him, so he asked two members of the Thunder team to help him send a large pot full of crabs to the small kitchen, Before leaving, Ling Jingxuan still didn't forget to kiss Xiaotuanzi and said to Yan Xiaobei: "Let Xiaowu and Huzi go home for dinner later, don't tell them what to eat, just say that I cook for myself."

"okay."

Yan Xiaobei nodded, Ling Jingxuan gave Yan Shengrui a look, turned and went into the kitchen, it was the first time to make crabs at home, he had to teach Shui Linger himself, but steaming crabs basically has no technical content, as long as they are cleaned and placed in a steamer , evenly sprinkle fine salt and pepper on the line, it is very simple, but unfortunately no one has ever done it.

"Father, let's go see Daddy cook crabs!"

Xiaotuanzi squirmed restlessly in Yan Shengrui's arms, as long as there was something delicious, he would never miss it.

"Okay, okay, let's go see your dad cook crabs, don't move around, be careful of falling."

Unable to bear the fuss of his precious son, Yan Shengrui reluctantly carried him to the kitchen, the whole family couldn't help but take the wayward little dumpling.

Outside the southern city of Hubei, the efforts of tens of thousands of soldiers are still very fruitful. In just ten days, several miles of roads have been built from the gate of Dongcheng to the official road in Nanzhou. It was too muddy at the time, and Yan Yi, who was in charge of the construction, followed Ling Jingxuan's suggestion and sent thousands of people to the riverside and seaside to pull pebbles back to pave the pavement. There was a lot of discussion in the metropolis, and many people had different opinions about the new chief secretary. He built roads for them and didn't ask them for a penny. Isn't such an official considered a good official?After the road is repaired, they are always the ones who benefit, right?

At the same time, several uniform factories were quickly built on the side not far from the official road. All the specifications were the same as those in Lingjia Village. It was built by Princess Sheng, and people from the four major families sent people to inquire about it every day, but shopkeeper Liao is an honest person, and his work is quite reliable, so far no news has leaked out.

The Yao family in Shanyang City.

"Grandpa, I have heard the explanation of King Wenjun. He said that the agricultural reforms are indeed very beneficial. I also asked people to go to the capital to inquire about it. I heard that the former queen mother had personally promoted it a few years ago. , the life of the common people is getting better and better, shall we try it too?"

Recently, the big bun Ling Wen came to Shanyang City. They have heard about their walks in Tianhong City and Yunhai City for a long time. Young, well-founded, and clear. Yao Shunxi admired their father and son from the bottom of his heart. After he came back, he found the old man and the old man and started persuading him. As we all know, most of the land outside Shanyang City belongs to the Yao family. As long as they are willing to let go of those rented to farmers, the people will naturally cooperate.

"I've also heard about this. The planting of rice for the second and third seasons has long been practiced in the Jiangnan area. We have done it ourselves before, but the fertilizer in the fields can't keep up, and the rice production in the second season is always not ideal. However, I heard that King Wenjun can solve this problem, and what he said about raising fish in the rice fields. I heard from friends in the north that it seems to be really possible. When the rice is harvested, the fish will also be raised. The common people have increased their income, and the policy proposed by the government this time is really for the good of the common people, father, do you think we should show it?"

Master Yao also nodded in agreement with his son. Their Yao family is different from the Jiang family and the Kang family's Tuoba family. The other three major families can survive even if they leave Southern Xinjiang, and their everything is in Southern Xinjiang. Yangcheng, they can't leave Southern Xinjiang, and they have to stay in Southern Xinjiang for generations, so they have to treat the people well and proceed from the interests of the people.

"Now it's not a question of whether to cooperate or not. The Jiang family has not said anything until now, and the Tuoba family has always kept a low profile. The Kang family is clearly facing off against Prince Sheng. If we cooperate with the government now, what do you think the other families will do? What would you think? Especially the Kang family, don't you know if others don't know? The Kang family lost three business lines, and they absolutely can't swallow this breath. Now is the time to buy mountain goods, and they won't move for the time being , When they recover, it is still unknown who will win the battle, let's take a look first."

The old man of the Yao family paid attention to stability when he was young, and it is even more so now. He will not make a decision lightly until he has clearly seen Prince Sheng's ability and is sure that he can save the Yao family.

"Grandpa, there are icing on the cake everywhere, and there is nothing in the world to send charcoal in the snow. Do you think it is interesting for us to go to add icing on the cake after everything is over? Prince Sheng will not talk about it. Wangfei and I have met Changle several times. He is not a good person." , forgive me for saying something outrageous, I am afraid that the combined heads of the four major families can’t beat him, not to mention, Prince Cheng can bring the border army directly to southern Xinjiang, no matter how powerful our poison is, everyone will eat it. Spit can drown us, why didn't they do that? Because they really care about the common people and don't want to lose their lives. If the four major families really defeat Prince Cheng, I dare say, that will be the real beginning of the catastrophe in southern Xinjiang , when the imperial court is going to do everything possible to wipe out southern Xinjiang, how long do you think we can resist? Grandpa, let’s make a quick decision while there is still a chance, otherwise we may be the next one when Prince Sheng cleans up the Kang family. .”

This is the first time that Yao Shunxi has disobeyed the old man at such an age. As the eldest son and grandson of his family, he is undoubtedly well-loved, but at the same time he also shoulders many responsibilities. He does not hope that one day the Yao family, or even Nanjiang It was ruined in their hands. If he hadn't contacted Yan Shengrui and his wife before, maybe he would adopt the same conservative attitude as the old man, but? ?Intuition told him that Yan Shengrui and his wife were not ordinary people, they couldn't beat them, since they knew they couldn't beat them, why bother to bear it?Are the titles of the four major families so important?Is it more important than the lives of hundreds of people in their entire Yao family?

"you."

"Father, I think Shunxi's words are not unreasonable. Look at the official roads built from the southern city of E'nan. There are many chief secretaries in southern Xinjiang. Which one didn't want to attack us as soon as he came? Only Sheng Prince, the first thing they think of is the common people, after the common people really realize that the government is really doing their best, do you think they will continue to support our four major families?" Interrupting the old man before he did, Master Yao He said with a solemn expression, since the government didn't ask them to take a penny for road construction, he has been paying attention to their movements, and gradually felt that Prince Sheng really wanted to do his part for Southern Xinjiang.

"I understand what you said, but the Jiang family? Huh?"

The old man sighed deeply, the Jiang family was powerful, and they had no choice but to back down by three points. To ask them to openly support Prince Sheng really required courage and courage.

"Grandpa, dad, why don't you let me take Changle to talk to the concubine? There is something you never knew about Changle back then?"

After Yao Shunxi thought over and over again, he simply told them what Yan Shengrui and his wife had helped them and taught them how to do it. The old man and the old man were silent after hearing the words. After a long while, the old man said solemnly: "Just be We owe it to Prince Cheng, you will go to E'nan City with Changle tomorrow, don't be in a hurry to express our attitude, let's find out what he has to say."

When the matter came to this point, the old man had to let go. Although his Yao family is a landlord, he is also a scholarly heirloom. Changle is a rare and good daughter-in-law. They still understand the four words of knowing grace and repaying.

"En." Yao Shunxi nodded solemnly. He invited him more than anyone else, and asking Grandpa to make such a decision would undoubtedly embarrass him.

The Yan family in Enan City.

"Wow! It smells so good, Daddy, let's have dinner soon."

After a busy afternoon, when the hour of You was approaching, all the crabs in the big steamers were finally steamed, and the small dumplings just came out of the small kitchen when they smelled the fragrance. Opened the steamer, took out a few crabs and handed them to An Shaonong who came to help.

"Take it and give it to the brothers to share, and everyone will try it out."

"Yes, master, but what do you want to eat?"

While An Shaonong was happy, he couldn't avoid embarrassment. The Thunder team had eaten all the delicacies with their master these years, but they hadn't eaten this kind of iron lump yet.

"Hehe, look good."

Ling Jingxuan smiled slightly, picked up the scissors and a crab, and skillfully cut off all the legs of the crab, and then opened the crab shell. The crab roe inside made people drool. Xiaotuanzi just hugged his leg and shouted: "It smells so good, Daddy, Xiaotuanzi is hungry."

At the corner of his mouth, there seemed to be traces of saliva, and Ling Jingxuan couldn't do anything about this snack. He knelt down, picked up a small soup, scooped some warm crab roe into his mouth.

"Not a good time. A good time."

The little guy was so happy that he couldn't speak clearly, Ling Jingxuan ignored him, put down the crab's body and picked up a small crab leg the size of chopsticks: "The meat inside is also edible, the crab is big enough, we don't have to bother Now, just use scissors to cut the connecting part, suck the crab meat out, it’s that simple, hurry up and take it back while it’s hot, let’s give it to the brothers.”

It's been a long time since I ate crabs, Ling Jingxuan himself can't wait, Yan Yi is smart, he just asked him to get two, he didn't expect him to get so many, everyone has one left, and Ling Yun is also counted Their share, of course, is impossible for other servants.
