Chapter 116 Wine and Crab(1/2)
Lakeside courtyard.
The second lady hurried over with her son Yan Jingyang and a group of servants.
The door is open.
However, the group of people did not go in. The maid shouted from outside.
"Mr. Li, is Mr. Li here?"
He didn't get a response, but instead heard a cow braying.
"Moo~"
(He went for a walk outside)
The maid shouted a few more times but received no response.
"Mom, it seems that you are not here, what should I do now?"
"Go inside and wait for a while."
A group of people walked into the courtyard.
There was no one in the house, and no one knew what they were doing.
The maid brought stools, and the second lady and Yan Jingyang sat down.
Yan Jingyang's face turned gloomy, as he thought about his son-in-law entering the third level.
He couldn't be happy no matter what.
I couldn't help complaining: "Who knew that this blind man was an outsider and dressed like a beggar? How could I tell!"
The second lady said seriously: "Don't make a mistake."
"He's not here."
Yan Jingyang murmured something in a low voice, and then noticed that the old cow on the side was looking at him faintly.
He suddenly had an illusion.
This old cow seems to...understand what he is saying.
Yan Jingyang couldn't help but smile, how could he come up with such a ridiculous idea.

"Waiter, serve the wine!"
The terroir of wine also reflects local customs.
For Li Pingan, drinking wine is really a happy thing.
Not to mention that it is October in the golden autumn, which is a good time to eat crabs.
The so-called "nine females and ten males"
It means that in the ninth month of the lunar calendar, the female is eaten, and in the tenth month of the lunar calendar, the male is eaten.
Therefore, there is a saying that "the navel is rounded in the ninth month and pointed in the tenth month".
The crabs at this time are the most tender and big.
This is also the time when the crab paste is at its most abundant, making the meat delicious and nutritious.
Since ancient times, eating crabs has been an elegant thing.
It is a kind of enjoyment just like appreciating chrysanthemums, drinking wine, reciting poems and painting.
Eat a bite of crab roe and drink a sip of rice wine.
Beautiful, beautiful~
Li Ping'an ordered a large plate of crabs and planned to eat them all at once.
After a sip of rice wine, you will feel refreshed.
Paired with a bite of crab roe, it is even more delicious.
He couldn't help but get excited and drank the whole bowl of wine in one go.
It's a pity that the old cow is unwilling to move, so he will never be able to enjoy this delicious food.
At this time, the waiter came over and said apologetically.
"I'm really sorry, sir. There are so many guests today that we don't have any small stoves."
Rice wine needs to be heated. After heating, the rice wine will have a rich aroma and a soft taste.
However, the heating time should not be too long, otherwise the alcohol will easily evaporate.
But at this time of year, everyone comes out to drink rice wine and eat big crabs.
As a result, the small stove for cooking rice wine in the inn was not enough.
"Otherwise, you can wait a little longer, or I'll have someone go to the kitchen to heat it up for you."
The kitchen is hot, so you won't be so careful.
When you go out to eat, you must be exquisite.
"No need, use ink and paper?"
The waiter was puzzled: "Yes, yes, but what does the guest want this for?"
Li Pingan smiled and said nothing.
After a while, the waiter brought over the ink and paper.
Take out the "Xia Ke Pen" from your waist, and the spring breeze will appear on the pen.
The word "fire" was written on the paper.
The waiter was stunned at first, and the monk Zhang Er was confused.
"Sir, what does this mean?"
Can fire be made by just writing fire? The waiter wondered if there was something wrong with the guest officer.
Li Ping'an pressed the wine cup containing rice wine on top of the word "fire".
The waiter smiled and said, "Sir, please stop joking with me."
Li Ping'an didn't explain much and was content with himself.
The waiter only felt that the other party was entertaining himself, and he did not embarrass himself because of the small stove.
So after waiting, I gave Li Pingan a plate of desserts as a gift.
After a while, a small stove became available.
The waiter thought of Li Pingan first.
But Li Ping'an waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need it.
The waiter turned his head and muttered, "This guy is addicted to playing!"
As night falls, there are fewer people in the store.
The waiter finally took a breath and looked at Li Ping'an who was sitting in the corner.
I couldn't help but be shocked by the mountain-high pile of crab shells on his table.
How many crabs have been eaten?
After a long time, Li Ping'an finally burped.
After paying the bill, I wiped my mouth.
He took the small bamboo pole and left.
"Sir, walk slowly!"
The waiter lengthened his voice.
The waiter muttered in a low voice while clearing away the remnants on the table.
"What a weirdo. Maybe there's something wrong with my IQ?"
As he spoke, he reached out to grab the wine cup.
"Wow!!"
A burning feeling spread to the palm of my hand.
This wine cup is so hot...
The waiter couldn't help but think of what happened just now, his eyes widened, and he looked up.
But he has long since disappeared.
The waiter swallowed and spit.
"Holy shit! I really met an expert."
