Reborn and married to uncle, husband and wife teamed up to abuse scum.

Aunt Wang was very pleased with Cuiping. Her brows were relaxed. She praised Cuiping on the way, "She looks so elegant. Her walking posture is also beautiful, and she is silent."

"Let the maids learn from him later. That's a skill from the palace."

Xin An hurriedly stopped her, "Please don't do that. If that happens, everyone in the yard will walk without making any sound. It will be so scary."

"We are not in the palace here, there is no need to make things so tense, we still need to have some liveliness and excitement."

Aunt Wang listened to it, but she had other plans in mind. When she returned to Qiushi Courtyard, she began to instruct Chunyang, Chunlu and the others to be more restrained and not to let Aunt Cuiping laugh at the people around the young lady for being unruly. Her serious look made everyone in the courtyard nervous, and they were even thinking about whether they should change their clothes to welcome the aunts from the palace.

Xin An thought it was funny, "Just do what you need to do, don't learn it too rigidly."

In her previous life, she paid too much attention to these things, which made herself and the people who followed her live in a suffocated and cautious way. In this life, she must live as freely as possible within the permitted scope. "Now that we are in our courtyard, Aunt Cuiping can only follow the local customs."

Anyone who dares to teach her and her people to be rigid is not allowed, even those who come out of the palace.

Chunlu and the others breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and then started laughing again. With the young lady backing them up, they were not afraid of anyone.

Soon, Dr. Zhao came and Xin An asked her to look at her nails. "The color I dyed earlier has faded a little, and a new part has grown out. I have to dye it again today."

Zhao, the doctor, took out her bottles and jars and said to oil her hair first. "Let's take care of the hair first and then dye our nails. A few days ago, I got a more vivid Thousand Layer Red. I mixed it with alum and the color looks very beautiful when I dye it."

Xin An's nails had just been painted when Cuiping arrived with the bag. When she learned that her residence was not here, she did not delay and the first thing she did was to order people to buy crabs and prepare all the tools needed to eat crabs. She was worried that Xin An would make a fool of himself at the crab banquet tomorrow.

"Today, I will first tell you about the etiquette of eating crabs in Beijing."

Chunyang felt that this was a bit redundant. Her daughter grew up in the Huaijiang River, and every autumn the crabs in the Huaijiang River are fat. Any restaurant has seven or eight ways to cook crabs. How could her daughter not know how to eat crabs?

"Do as Aunt Cuiping tells you."

The rules for eating crabs are different in the two places, and Xin An felt it necessary to listen. You know, she had never attended a crab feast in her previous life, and she was never invited at all.

Chunyang went to get the silver and went out. Chunlu took Cuiping to settle down. Doctor Zhao pretended that she heard nothing and just ordered someone to bring shampoo. She couldn't fall asleep unless her hair, which was covered with hair oil, was washed thoroughly.

After half a day of hard work, Xin An's hair was black and smooth, and her fingernails had changed color. Because the original color had not faded, she dyed it again and it was even redder. "Dr. Zhao's dyeing skills have gotten even better."

Doctor Zhao began to pack up her bottles and jars. "Young Madam's nails are well-shaped. They look beautiful even before they are dyed. They are extremely eye-catching with a little color."

"The next dyeing can wait until half a month later."

Xin An said that he would send someone to invite her when the time comes, "Thank you for your hard work today."

"It should."

Chunyang presented today's hard work fee, and after some polite exchanges, sent Doctor Zhao out. Xin An stretched her back lazily, and seeing that it was not too early, she asked Chunyang to simply comb her hair without making it into any complicated style. As soon as she got up, Aunt Cuiping came with some people carrying crabs.

She calculated the time and put the crabs into the pot without any delay.

Xin An sat down at the dining table. Cui Ping asked the two maids, Chun Yang and Chun Lu, to come forward and watch. She said, "I heard that the crabs in Huaijiang River are fat. The Second Young Madam must be familiar with them. Crabs are eaten alive, so not many crabs are sent to the capital. They are only eaten once or twice a year. They are usually made into salted crabs, crab paste, sugar crabs, crab porridge, and hand-washing crabs. Among them, salted crabs are the most troublesome to eat. If this dish is served tomorrow, the Second Young Madam will not need to do it unless the host specifically asks. She can just let the maids disassemble the crabs."

As he said that, he picked up a crab and put it on the bone dish, then looked up at Chun Yang and Chun Lu, "I'll open one for you to see, but you have to look carefully."

There are also salted crabs in the Huaijiang River. People who eat them do it themselves according to their personal habits. They also have three or two tools for eating crabs, but compared with Cuiping's, they are a bit rough.

Especially the crab roe and crab paste. In Huaijiang, people would just break the crab open and suck it directly from their mouths, and it would taste so sweet and fresh. But when it came to Aunt Cuiping's hands, she had to tear it apart bit by bit and put it on the plate. Not to mention Chunyang and Chunlu, even Xinan felt that the sweetness was gone after all that.

It looks difficult to read and not tasty.

As for the crab leg meat, it is quite interesting. Huaijiang uses a small mill to grind out the crab leg meat, while Cuiping uses the calf to poke the thigh, which is quite convenient, but the meat is cold after each one is done.

As the meat cooled, it took on a slightly fishy smell. Xin An took a bite and frowned, "Where did you buy this crab?"

"This season is not the best for crabs. If we want to send them to Beijing in time for the season, we won't be able to take care of many things. Not only will they be smaller, but they will also taste worse."

Chunyang said that it took Chief Liu some effort to buy these crabs, "There is no crab farming around Beijing."

Xin An lost interest in these crabs, thinking that the crabs from Huaijiang were still delicious in her memory, big, meaty and sweet. She hadn't tasted them for a long time. In everyone's eyes, she was still in Huaijiang a few months ago. Only she and Tang Mo knew that she hadn't been back to Huaijiang for more than ten years.

But she remembered the appearance of Huaijiang crabs very clearly.

I remember one year her father brought 200 kilograms of crabs from the Huai River so that she could have a taste of crabs from the Huai River. When they arrived in Beijing, less than 30 kilograms were left alive. She was very fond of them, not only because the crabs were delicious, but also because the crabs came from her hometown and were full of her parents' thoughts for her.

Unfortunately, not a single one fell into her mouth. They were all taken by Tang Rong as favors. He left a few for him to share with Tao Yiran at night.

A bite of crab meat reminded her of her sad past. The sadness slowly faded away, and Chunyang immediately realized, "Madam, are you homesick?"

Xin An smiled and sniffed, "I miss home, and I don't know when I can taste the crabs from Huaijiang again."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Just take it apart according to Aunt Cuiping's method and see if there's anything wrong. Aunt Cuiping can tell you if there's anything wrong."

Aunt Cuiping did not say much. She did not want to ask about her master's affairs, especially since she had just arrived. She just reminded Chunyang and Chunlv of the key points of cracking crabs from time to time.

After opening several crabs in a row, Chunyang and Chunlu became more and more skilled. However, the crabs they opened were thin, with little yellow and little roe, so Xinan was even less interested.

When Tang Mo came back, he saw several plates of crab meat and a pile of crab shells on the table.

"What is this doing?"

Xin An made up a story, "I thought you must be working hard, so I prepared to make you some crab meat buns. You should eat a few more tonight."

"So thoughtful?"

Tang Mo walked forward happily, "The crab meat buns are really fresh. The last time I ate them was last year. It's quite troublesome to open these. It's hard work."
