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

The large size of the crabs made people who had never seen them very curious. Aunt Cuiping came forward to take a closer look and said, "In autumn, crabs are itchy, and many crabs are sent to the palace. This quality is rare. It must have taken a lot of effort to send them from such a far place."

"Master Xin has a kind and fatherly heart."

Not to mention how much these crabs cost, just sending them from such a faraway place with so much effort must have cost a lot, but what’s important is the thought put into it.

He also thought of sending it here directly instead of sending it to the Marquis' Mansion. The Master Xin's intentions were too obvious.

Xin An admired them happily, then estimated the number and began to order, "Uncle Wang, take your men to tie up these crabs and check whether each one is alive."

"Nanfeng, go to the herbal medicine shop and pick up all the small baskets in the shop. If there are too few, go find Madam Wang and get some more white handkerchiefs."

"Aunt Cuiping, thank you for going back to see Grandmother. It's not easy for these crabs to survive here. They will die if they stay for a while longer. I want to pick some good ones to send to the Queen Mother. Please tell Grandmother and borrow Grandmother's invitation to deliver them to the palace in person."

Cui Ping nodded immediately, thinking that the Second Young Master's wife was also smart. This was what she meant by what she said just now. If the Second Young Master's wife had never met the Queen Mother, it would be fine. But since she had met her and was rewarded with food, she should express her gratitude afterwards. "Please prepare three baskets, each with twenty pieces."

"The Empress Dowager and the Emperor are a loving couple. If the Empress gets some crabs, she will definitely invite the Emperor to taste them together."

"Auntie is very thoughtful."

Aunt Cuiping turned around and went back, while Wang Jin went to Beiya Army to find Tang Molai.

Tang Mo came very quickly, followed by Zhuang Shi. When they arrived, they were surprised to see five large buckets of crabs. Tang Mo picked up a tied crab and exclaimed, "Such big crabs are rare. Huaijiang is really a good place. No wonder you dislike the crabs in Beijing because they are thin and small."

Zhuang Shi also came forward to take a look and was very surprised, "So many."

"Are the crabs in Huaijiang this big?"

Wang Jin said cheerfully, "It's good that the Huai River has a lot of water, so the crabs are better than those in other places, but crabs of this quality are not common in the market, so they are all ordered early."

Zhuang Shi understood. These were not only rare in the capital, but also top quality in the Huaijiang River. He silently admired the Xin family's financial resources. Not to mention the high price of the crabs, even the cost of sending them to the capital was probably more expensive than these crabs.

What matters is the thought.

I sniffed and found a faint aroma of crab in the air. "That's weird. Why can I smell the aroma?"

Xin An smiled and said, "I asked someone to steam a few first, so that we can taste them later."

Mainly because she wanted to eat it, as she hadn't eaten crabs from her hometown for many years.

Soon Chunyang came out with a pot of crabs, "Come and try it."

Everyone who followed Xin An to the capital city missed Huaijiang to some extent. They started to say good things when they smelled the aroma. Xin An was not afraid of the heat, and walked forward to pick up one and blew on it while untying the rope. Tang Mo followed suit. After the two masters started working, the others also stopped what they were doing and walked forward happily, each taking one, and grimacing even though it was so hot, they refused to let go.

"Here's some ginger vinegar. It'll be even more delicious if you dip it in."

Everyone stood up and started eating around a square table. Tang Mo said, "This is a cream that smells really good."

Xin An likes female crabs, "The yellow ones are the most fragrant."

He picked up a piece with chopsticks and brought it to Tang Mo's mouth. Tang Mo tasted it naturally, "Well, it's delicious too. It's more fragrant than the crabs I ate before."

Zhuang Shi quickly removed the gills and picked out all the inedible parts, then sucked the crab paste into his mouth. He said the word "delicious" twice and stuffed half a crab into his mouth. After fiddling with it, a pile of shells came out. He ate it all up. Xin An joked, "Brother Zhuang is really an expert in eating crabs."

Zhuang Shi smiled and said, "Ever since I was a kid I've liked the ones with shells. They're fresh and fragrant."

Xin An said, "Pack twenty more for Brother Zhuang. I'll trouble you to take them away later. I won't send anyone to deliver them to your house."

"No, no, I'm so sorry."

He looked and saw that they were all placed in piles of twenty. How could he have the nerve to ask for more?

Tang Mo smiled and said, "Why are you being polite? I wasn't polite when Brother Zhuang took care of me."

Zhuang Shi took it with a smile, and Tang Mo stuffed another one into his hand, "Let's eat one more, so we don't have to think about it the whole afternoon."

Zhuang Shi was not polite, because he really liked it. Wang Jin was impressed, "It's really delicious."

"The master must have selected the best crabs to send to us. The roe is fragrant and the meat is good. We all benefit from the eldest girl."

Everyone was in a good mood and they were still hungry after finishing their meal, but they did not delay their work. As it was getting late, they worked more and more quickly.

The crabs were placed in the editor's basket and covered with a white cloth soaked in water. When everything was almost ready, the people who delivered the crabs went out one after another.

Several young ladies who were good friends with Xin An each had one copy; Tang Yong and Wang Mian's families each had three copies; Tang Mo's good friend had one copy; Wang, who got the news and came to watch the fun, ordered five copies to give away, each copy containing twenty pieces, half male and half female.

"The Second Prince's Mansion will also send one portion. Pregnant women cannot eat it, but the Second Prince can eat it."

"Mrs. Xu should also send one. After all, we have business dealings now."

After all that was to be delivered was delivered, Xin An finally remembered Tang Gang when he looked at the one and a half buckets left, and asked Wang for her opinion on whether to leave some for him.

"No need to bother."

Wang was sure that Tang Gang would definitely use the money to do a favor for Tang Rong, and she didn't want to be a scapegoat. Her daughter-in-law's things were sent from so far away by her father-in-law, so they should be used as they should be. If there were too much left, couldn't the mothers eat them themselves?

"I know who your father is friendly with. I'll make the arrangements."

"Besides, your father is going to the palace today and won't be back until the afternoon."

Today, the Emperor wants to bring justice to the cases of the Duke of Xiangguo and the Marquis of Xiangguo, so Tang Gang will not be back so soon.

In this way, after all that was to be delivered was delivered, there were still about 50 to 60 kilograms left. One basin was left for Xin's residence, and the rest were taken back to the Marquis' residence, ready to be eaten slowly. "We'll have crab roe noodles tonight. Chunlu is very good at making them."

Ershan's cousin Xia'er has been working at Xin's house. She felt sorry for the whole basin of dead crabs and wanted to cook them. Fortunately, Wang Jin found them and said, "It's a pity to throw them away, but they are really inedible after they die."

"How delicious! It must have been eaten not long ago."

Xia'er couldn't bear to leave.

"Anyway, it won't work if it's dead. I'll burn it to ashes in the stove later. If you're hungry, we can eat meat tonight."

The eldest girl was very generous to them and never skimped on food. Wang Jin was afraid that Xia'er would steal the dead crabs, so he took the basin away without giving her a chance.
