Chapter 36
Chapter 36 If there is something weird, ignore it
In the evening, Su Jinxiu returned home.
Li Zhaodi didn't tell her about the visit from the third room, and was preparing dinner in the kitchen.
"Jinxiu, please rest for a while. Mom will prepare it soon."
Su Jinxiu wiped her face and asked Su Shangwu to carry the bucket out.
"Mom, you have a stomachache, just do whatever you want.
Shangwu and I will go catch some fish and snails, you and Shangwen will eat first."
Li Zhaodi looked at Su Jinxiu's back and sighed.
You still need a man, otherwise Jinxiu will be too hard.
When Su Jinxiu and Su Shangwu arrived at the river, the village children were already waiting.
Seeing them coming, they all came forward holding the snails they had already caught.
"Sister Jinxiu, look, the snails we caught today are quite fat."
"Sister Jinxiu, do you want these more?"
Huzi carried the wooden basin and ran to Su Jinxiu in a few steps.
Su Shangwu glanced at it and shook his head.
"This shrimp has a hard shell and consumes oil, so it's not delicious."
It's better to catch some dried shrimps and stew them into soup to make them fresher.
Huzi smiled sheepishly: "I just thought that Sister Jinxiu is so good, maybe she can make it delicious.
If you don't want me to take it back and feed it to the chickens..."
Su Jinxiu stepped forward and couldn't help but smile after seeing the crayfish in the tub.
"Wait a minute, I want it.
Save whatever you have for me in the future, this thing is so delicious!"
Su Shangwu didn't believe it and picked up the lobsters in the basin with his hands.
"Sister, is this really delicious?"
The lobster clamped Su Shangwu's fingers with its pincers. Su Shangwu screamed and shook off the crayfish with all his strength.
Su Jinxiu was a little funny, as she packed up the snails and crayfish.
"It's so delicious that you can't wait to swallow it with your fingers."
She took out a bag of pine nut candies and copper coins and gave them to Su Shangwu, asking him to divide them among the village children.
Taking advantage of this time, I got into the reeds and caught a few fish.
I was lucky today and picked up a nest of wild duck eggs.
When they came out of the reed swamp, it was already dark. Su Jinxiu brought Su Shangwu back with a full load.
Put fresh fish in the fish tank, and put the snails in the bucket to spit out sand.
Brush the crayfish clean and add hot oil to the pan.
When the lobster turns red, sauté the ginger, garlic and dried chili until fragrant.
Before it even comes out of the pot, the smell makes Su Shangwu swallow his saliva.
"Okay, Shang Wu, let's serve it to the table!"
Su Jinxiu scooped up the lobster, handed it to Su Shangwu, and wiped the handle.
Su Shangwu responded happily, without caring about the heat, he picked up a crayfish and threw it into his mouth.
He immediately bared his teeth and didn't know whether he was burned or pricked.
Li Zhaodi looked at the crayfish on the plate with teeth and claws, and was a little afraid to move her chopsticks.
"Jinxiu, can this thing be eaten?"
Su Jinxiu rolled up her sleeves, took a crayfish, peeled it, and fed it to Li Zhaodi's mouth.
"Mom, can you eat it? You'll know if you try it."
Li Zhaodi was doubtful, but after taking a bite, all doubts disappeared.
Su Shangwu followed suit and peeled the crayfish open and threw it into his mouth.
The shrimp meat is fragrant, spicy, chewy and really delicious.
"Sister, you are so amazing. Food that others don't eat tastes so good in your hands."
Su Jinxiu peeled off a crayfish and put it into Su Shangwen's bowl, raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"That's right! From now on, you tell the village girl to bring all the crayfish you catch..."
Soon, all the crayfish on the table were wiped away, leaving only shrimp shells on the ground.
After eating and drinking, Su Jinxiu rushed Li Zhaodi and the others to wash up and rest.
Her mother has a full belly now and cannot be tired.
Shangwu and the others are still children, so they can't stay up late.
She can only work hard on her own, and this work lasts until midnight.
It wasn't until dawn that I squinted for a while.
After getting up, I grabbed a pancake and drove the bullock cart out.
When they arrived at Ruyi Restaurant, Su Jinxiu unloaded the things out of the car.
Without waiting for Uncle Lin to greet him, he rolled up his sleeves and entered the restaurant to start working.
Before it was time to eat, she made a portion of crayfish and invited Lin Bo and the others to try it.
At first, Uncle Lin and Li Zhaodi were afraid to eat it.
But after she plucked up the courage to try one, she gave Su Jinxiu a thumbs up.
"Jinxiu, this tastes better than snails."
Although spicy snails are delicious, the snail meat is only a little bit big.
Eating is never enough, but this shrimp meat is different. One bite at a time, you can eat it very happily.
Su Jinxiu smiled and asked her two aunts to come over and try something new.
“It’s not the crayfish season yet, there are only so many every day, and they’ll be gone when they’re sold out.
Lin Bo, just tell the guests.
This is a limited supply, first come first served.”
Good wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and there is no need to shout at the crayfish, just the smell wafts out.
Some people came to the door, even though they didn't dare to eat at first.
But seeing how delicious Lin Bo and his friends were eating, the diners became bolder.
"What is this? Give us a plate too."
Su Jinxiu fried a plate of crayfish and served it to the table.
"This is spicy crayfish, please use it with caution."
She demonstrated how to eat it and then went to work.
As soon as the guest took a bite, his eyes lit up.
Before dinner time, Ruyi Restaurant was already packed.
There is a plate of spicy crayfish on the table for everyone who comes, which not only goes well with rice but also with wine.
All morning, all the wine at Lin Bo's house was sold out.
This prosperous scene made the Jixiang Restaurant next door turn red with envy.
Zhang Wanliang wanted to grab business, but he could neither make spicy snails nor spicy crayfish.
I really don't know where that old man hired such a good helper.
Seeing the people making money next door, Zhang Wanliang felt very uncomfortable.
Calling Su Hongxing was just a scolding.
"Useless girls, even if they can't lay eggs, they can't even help you with this.
What do I want you to do? Get out of here."
Su Hongxing glanced at Su Jinxiu who was very busy and gritted her teeth.
"Shopkeeper, don't worry, even if Su Jinxiu won't come in a few days.
I definitely won’t stay with the old immortal, wait any longer..."
————————
After a busy day, everything was sold out, and Su Jinxiu drove the bullock cart home.
When we arrived at the village entrance, it was still dark and Su Shangwu didn't come to pick her up.
Instead, a young man in white stopped her bullock cart.
“Girl, may I ask where to go to Kaoshan Village?
I came here to look for my relative, but I got lost. I wonder if it would be convenient for the girl to take me some distance?"
The man looked quite handsome, and he smiled at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes when he spoke.
If an ordinary little girl had seen him, she would have already blushed and become aroused.
He was very confident about his appearance and was ready to take a ride.
Unexpectedly, Su Jinxiu seemed not to see him.
With a whip, the bullock cart sped away.
The man was left standing there with a stiff smile.
Why is this different from what was expected?
Su Jinxiu returned home and drove the ox cart through the door.
Li Zhaodi quickly stepped forward and looked behind her.
"Jinxiu is back? So early today?"
Why, Jinxiu came back alone?
