Chapter 116
Sure enough, during lunch, I served plates of hairy crabs.
Mu Zhao loves to eat crabs, so the Mu family transports several boats of crabs to Mobei every year. In previous years, Quan Shenglan's favorite thing was to stand on the city wall and watch the Mu family lead one cart after another full of hairy crabs into the city.
At this time of year, the Quan family can make a lot of money by selling hairy crabs in Mobei. These hairy crabs that travel through mountains and rivers are as expensive as gold, but many people still buy one or two to try them out. Quan Mansion can receive more than twenty trucks of hairy crabs every year, which allows the entire Quan family army to taste the taste of these hairy crabs.
Mu Zhao was used to picking crabs. Looking at the large plate of crabs in front of him, he picked up a beautiful female crab and put it in Quan Shenglan's bowl. Qingqiu was very eye-catching and immediately knelt down beside Quan Shenglan, picked up the silver scissors beside him, and peeled the crabs for Quan Shenglan.
In fact, Quan Shenglan is also good at peeling crabs, but Mu Zhao once told that when you are a guest, you must have the dignity of a powerful family. Therefore, as long as you are outside, Quan Shenglan will not peel crabs by himself.
Quan Shenglan looked around for a week, and sure enough, a maid was kneeling beside everyone, peeling crabs for him. This scene seemed a bit extravagant for some reason.
The banquet living room was separated by curtains, and there was a burst of laughter and joy behind the curtains, which was a banquet for the man.
Quan Shenglan turned his head and looked at Qingqiu who was kneeling beside him, and said softly: "Don't peel it too carefully, just do it. If you kneel for a long time, it will hurt your legs!"
"I have listened to the lady's instructions and put on knee pads, it's okay!" Qingqiu lowered his head and quickly sowed the crabs, and responded softly.
"If you eat a crab, you have to peel it cleanly and deliver it to your mouth. I don't know how these wealthy families will survive in this world if they are difficult for the sun to set!" Quan Shenglan sneered, then picked up the fruit wine on the table and took a sip.
Mu Zhao obviously heard Quan Shenglan's words, glanced at the women around him, and chuckled: "But they are all pretentious. If one day they really can't eat, such gorgeously dressed women will pick up their hoes and go to the fields to work hard!"
Quan Shenglan put down his wine glass: "This fruit wine is very sweet!"
"Miss, please use it!" Qingqiu had already peeled the whole crab, divided the crab meat and crab roe in a bowl, and carefully placed it in front of Quan Shenglan.
Sitting in front of Quan Shenglan's right was the family of the Censor, Mrs. Qin and her two daughters.
"My wife thought that General Quan had been in Mobei for many years and had been used to eating beef and mutton, Mrs. Quan would not be used to eating this fat hairy crab!" Mrs. Qin looked at Mu Zhao and chuckled, but no matter how she looked at her smile, it smelled a little sarcastic!
"Mrs. Qin was joking. My mother's family, Mu, is from Jiangnan. I grew up eating hairy crabs since I was a child. How could I not get used to this hairy crab?" Mu Zhao looked up at Mrs. Qin, with a gentle smile on her face, but a little sharpness appeared in her eyes. "My brother is not talented, but I just feel sorry for my sister. I have never forgotten to send a few boats of crabs to Mobei for so many years."
