Lu Fenghe stared out the window, at the busy crowd, and at the glow on the horizon.
First, a white light appeared on the riverside, as if a hole was torn open between the sky and the earth. The glow seeped out from this hole, and finally filled the sky, and then half of the sky in the east.
Lu Fenghe thought that literati and poets always liked to go to Mount Tai to watch the sunrise. She didn't dare to think about going to Mount Tai. She would never be able to climb it. Maybe she could go to Mount Putuo to see the sunrise on the seaside. It should be much more magnificent than on the river.
times.
Lu Fenghe couldn't help but push the glazed window open a little, and the cool and humid morning air rushed in. Lu Fenghe took two deep breaths, feeling that everyone who had been stuck in the room all day felt much refreshed.
It was daybreak, and the supplies on the ship were all ready and they set off again. Suzhou Pier was getting smaller and smaller. To Lu Fenghe, the scenery on the river was no different from the previous two days, and he was a little less interested.
Yawning with her mouth half-covered, Xiang Yaer advised Lu Fenghe.
"Madam, why don't you sleep a little longer, I didn't sleep well last night, and I woke up early this morning."
Lu Fenghe wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and nodded.
The next afternoon, Qin Ling'er came again with Ma Yanhui on her arm, carrying leaf cards, and Mrs. Lu couldn't help but come to join in the fun.
It was probably because Lu Fenghe hadn't played for a long time and he lost a lot of money to them. Qin Ling'er was so angry that she asked Lu Fenghe to treat them.
"It's such a simple thing. I don't think we should wait until we get home. I heard that there are a lot of delicious food in Yangzhou. Why don't you sit down at the table and ask for two tables?" Ma Yanhui said.
When it comes to food, Qin Ling'er has a lot of treasures, "The morning tea in Yangzhou is more delicious and better. I will order it today and it will be sent to the boat early tomorrow morning. I will have Yangzhou morning tea in the morning."
Lu Fenghe responded with a smile, "It's too late to fix the evening meal now. Why don't we ask someone to see if the crabs have fallen in June? If so, just bring two baskets and add some vegetables."
Qin Ling'er pointed out that Lu Fenghe said to Ma Yanhui: "Let's see who will eat it. It has just entered June and I am already thinking about June yellow."
Ma Yanhui looked at the two people and laughed loudly, "Ling Niang, don't eat, I will eat for you."
Lu Fenghe directly pushed the money he won on the table to Madam Lu, "My sister-in-law has worked hard and arranged some arrangements for the greedy sisters."
Mrs. Lu Si was not polite and accepted the money, "I have to say ugly things first. I also have my share of this money. I will not eat less."
Being on the river and located in the south of the Yangtze River, it is easy to get June crabs.
Mrs. Lu Si went out for a trip and came in to tell them that Lu Jiulang had asked for an errand and that she was about to take a detour to Yangzhou. He was alone and went to order two tables of morning tea for his sister-in-law and sister.
Apart from Brother Baoer and Brother Qian, probably the happiest person along the way was Ma Yanhui.
She only has one sister-in-law in her family, who is many years older. The two don't get along much and are not very close. She also doesn't have a sister-in-law when she marries into the Guo family. She rarely has the opportunity to get along with women of her own age for a long time.
Before, she thought they wouldn't be able to play together. After all, they weren't very familiar with each other, so she had already made plans to stay in the cabin and read a two-page book to relieve her boredom.
Unexpectedly, not only did I get along very well with my two sisters who are about the same age, but I also had fun and food every day.
As soon as she arrived at Huainan East Road, there was no end to the fresh food and gadgets. It was completely different from her previous two visits to Mudu. She could also have so much fun while sailing.
Qin Ling'er was still thinking, "If we still stop at the pier tonight, I am going to go fishing at night tonight. I don't believe that I can't fish at night along the way."
Qin Ling'er has been fishing at night for three nights. The river was pitch dark. She hung a lantern down and tried to use the lantern's light to attract fish and shrimps to take the bait. Ma Yanhui went with her for two nights and got a lot of harvest. She calls herself an expert.
Qin Ling'er got nothing for three nights.
Lu Fenghe smiled, "If we put the boat down, light the torches, and then put the net down, we can't return nothing."
Lu Fenghe was obviously just joking, but Qin Linger took it seriously, "Hey, yes, why didn't I think of that? I can put the boat down and use a net to catch it."
Lu Fenghe had a headache, why did he still say that the wind was just the rain?
Ma Yanhui had never experienced anything like this before, and she was actually very excited and wanted to be together.
Lu Fenghe couldn't do anything to stop them, so he had to leave it to Bage. In the end, Lu Fenghe was too worried and the two of them didn't go there at all.
June crabs quickly bought two baskets.
June crabs are also called June yellow hairy crabs, because the hairy crabs in this month are not big, but there are already a lot of yellow hairy crabs.
There is nothing fresher than June yellow. This kind of delicacy is worth looking forward to for a year. However, this kind of delicacy is not expensive. Many people are not willing to eat hairy crabs in June because the crabs at this time have no meat.
A young crab needs to shed its shell approximately seventeen times before it reaches adulthood, and hairy crabs in June have already shed their shells sixteen times. At this time, there is already a considerable amount of ointment in the crab's body, and the crab shell is thin, and it will still remain intact when pressed.
It's a bit soft, and even the hair on the crab claws is shallow.
At this time, the hairy crabs are plump, soft and slippery, and the crab paste is oily, especially the male crabs, which are very delicious.
So they added three dishes to the evening meal, a Huadiao Drunken Crab. Most drunken crab eaters in Jiangnan eat raw drunken crab, but the cook next to Lu Fenghe is good at cooking cooked drunken crab.
The crabs are first steamed, then soaked and marinated with Huadiao rice wine to remove the fishy smell, make them fresh and relieve the cold.
Another dish is the more homely Steamed Meat Cake with June Yellow Edamame. The crab and meat flavors are perfectly blended, and the soup is particularly delicious. This dish is mainly prepared for children. The meat patties can be mixed with noodles or rice.
Greatly increases appetite.
Steaming hairy crabs is a must.
Lu Fenghe was still very melancholy when she saw the dishes. She didn't make her favorite crab noodles.
However, the cook was Lu Fenghe himself, so how could he not know Lu Fenghe's preferences? He told Lu Fu to tell the girl, "I have left the most active male crab behind, and I will make a special trip to make noodles for the girl tomorrow."
When Lu Fenghe heard this, he was happy, but what Zhao asked Lu Fu to say made Lu Fenghe unhappy again.
"Girl, my wife said, crab is cold, girl, use it less, your health is important."
Lu Fenghe can only taste the steamed crab, but not the Huadiao drunken crab. It’s all made of Huadiao. Lu Fenghe tasted it. The taste is that it’s Huadiao that has been at least five years old. This is it.
It was cold, so Lu Fenghe finished the Huadiao Drunk Crab that was enough for two people by himself.
That's right, in order to pretend that Shen Nanxun was hiding in the house and not going out, every meal was served for two people. This also resulted in the girls who were serving Lu Fenghe having to follow her in the house.
eat.
I still need to ask Fu'an to come in and out a few times to give me some clothes and pick up a book.
After finishing the Huadiao Drunken Crab for two, Lu Fenghe was still thinking that it was a good thing that Shen Nanxun wasn't here, otherwise it wouldn't be enough for her.
She never thought that even if Nan Nanxun was here, he would not be able to use her mouth.
At this time, Shen Nanxun had already arrived at Yangzhou Pier, waiting for people to board the ship quietly in the dead of night.
