"Xizhu, come on, do you want to try this garlic crayfish?" Mu Tiande put the garlic crayfish in front of Chen Xizhu in a flattering manner.
Mu Ning also put the spicy crayfish in front of grandma with a flattering look on her face, "Grandma, my Gu Lin peeled this together. You eat it slowly. There is still a lot left."
Gu Lin's usually cold and expressionless face looked almost like the expression on Mu Ning's face today.
Ingratiation, embarrassment, flattery.
When he thought about what happened in the kitchen, he wanted to cover half of his face and run away.
It's so embarrassing.
At first, Muning planned to have a taste, but because the taste was so amazing, she couldn't help but feed one into her grandfather's mouth.
Mu Tiande usually feels disgusted when he sees crayfish in the field, but he never expected his granddaughter to be so good at craftsmanship.
The shrimp meat is firm and tender, and the spicy aroma, star anise, cinnamon and other flavors blended together are enough to conquer the stomach of every Chinese person.
Of course, Mu Tiande is no exception. It only takes one bite of this old man to fall deeply in love with him. There was no need for Mu Ning to say anything as he stretched out his hand towards the spicy crayfish.
After Gu Lin saw Mu Tiande eating, he was still a little jealous. He didn't expect to hear a voice the next second, "Lower your head and open your mouth."
The crayfish is right in your mouth, it has this numbing and spicy taste.
It's more tender than spicy fish.
Gu Lin's eyes also lit up. The three of them couldn't hold back and started eating in the kitchen. They were caught by Chen Xizhu. Now they could only smile awkwardly and coax the little old lady.
Chen Xizhu laid out the score for a long time before she was willing to use her chopsticks to taste the soul-stirring crayfish.
"Hmm...this smell." Chen Xizhu was so surprised.
I never expected that crayfish, which rural people despise so much, tastes so good.
It was really addictive and delicious. Chen Xizhu couldn't hold back her chopsticks. She took one bite after another, making the whole table drool.
When Muning saw that grandma was willing to eat, he knew that she was not angry and put his head directly in front of her.
"Grandma, isn't this crayfish delicious? Although it's not as good as the Crab Race God, you can really have a bite of crayfish and a sip of wine in summer. The taste is...refreshing!"
The three people present felt that Mu Ning was right. Mu Tiande, who usually didn't like to drink, poured two taels of white wine today, and so did Gu Lin.
"Xiao Lin, we two have a nice drink today."
Gu Lin took the wine glass respectfully, "Okay, grandpa."
Even Chen Xizhu went to scoop up some rice wine and drank it happily. Only the pregnant Muning drank boiled water with a sad look on her face.
The more Mu Tiande drank, the happier he became. There were more and more shrimp shells in front of him. There seemed to be a few more wrinkles on his forehead. This old man was happy today.
"Ning Ning, your craftsmanship will definitely sell for money. There is nothing that no one likes here. You can make it so delicious. Baby Ning Ning is really amazing."
After hearing this, Muning blushed and drank a glass of boiled water proudly, "It's all taught me well by my grandma."
Mu Tiande shook his head again. He was excited just now, but now his mood has dropped again, "You have never cooked at home before. When you went to your parents' house... our Ningning... must have suffered."
She was stunned, feeling a little aggrieved.
At the age of 12, Mu Ning was not liked by her parents. Her elder sister was jealous of her good looks and kept her wearing little shoes every day. Her younger brother was a mama's boy and did nothing at home. After she returned home, she became the family's nanny.
Muning followed his grandparents in the countryside without touching anything, but when he returned to his parents' house, he did everything.
Even if you do it, you still can’t eat good food, and you have to sleep on the balcony miserably. When you get up in the morning, you have to put the bed away, otherwise it won’t look good when guests come to your door.
But everything was bittersweet, she smiled, "It's not bitter. I don't think it's bitter if your grandparents like it. From now on, as long as you like it, I can make it for you every day."
"It consumes too much fuel. How can I eat it every day." Mu Tiande couldn't help but chew the shrimp shells, "Oh, these shrimp shells are delicious."
"Then no one is allowed to mention the past now. Our goal today is to finish all the crayfish on the table."
Let's not say anything depressing. People just need to look forward, and there is no need to be sad about the past every day.
Isn’t this repeatedly tearing open the wound?
Now that the wound has healed, forget it.
Muning excitedly picked up the water glass and said, "I wish our life will get better and better in the future, and I wish my grandparents a long life!"
"Okay, life will get better and better in the future."
Mu Tiande and Chen Xizhu cried with joy. They secretly wiped away their tears and raised their wine glasses high.
Gu Lin muttered something after her, and then said silently in her heart, "I also wish Muning health and safety, a smooth life, and a long life."
"Let's eat crayfish."
The big hands of the four people moved towards the crayfish.
To eat crayfish, you need to peel them yourself, twitch your fingers, and then take a bite of shrimp meat. After finishing the meal, you just want to shout, "It's so good!"
Muning and the others were sweating profusely and their mouths were full of oil until the end of their meal.
Although Chen Xizhu had just been discharged from the hospital, she was actually discharged when she had no health problems at all and was able to eat delicious food.
Therefore, the spiciness did not affect her speed at all.
Two large basins, plus about twenty kilograms of crayfish, were all eaten by four people and collapsed on the table.
"I'm full." Muning has been reading for so long, and today is the most full he's ever eaten.
After Gu Lin drank the white wine, his whole body turned red like a crayfish, and he sat on the chair with blurred eyes.
"Gu Lin, are you drunk?" Muning came to his side and looked up and down with his eyes.
The man opened his eyes and saw Muning's red and swollen mouth. His throat moved slightly and he replied in a hoarse voice.
"No, I'm just too stuffed to eat and don't want to move."
Crayfish are indeed delicious, and Gu Lin regrets that he didn't discover such a delicious thing when he was a child.
But he laughed at himself, so what if he found out, how could he have the money to buy so much oil and seasonings when he was a child.
"Really?" Muning continued to ask in disbelief.
"Really not." Gu Lin replied to her with a gentle smile for the first time.
"This wine is not intoxicating." The man explained, "It just looks drunk." It's too embarrassing.
"That's good." Muning nodded, "Are you full?"
Gu Lin hadn't answered yet, and Mu Tiande looked at the remaining oil and seasonings and felt it was a pity.
When Biaoyi heard Muning's question, he thought Gu Lin hadn't eaten enough yet, "Xiao Lin hasn't eaten enough yet?"
This old man's face was extremely rosy tonight.
"Xiao Lin, how about I mix this seasoning with some noodles and eat them."
Muning and Chen Xizhu were already exhausted. They were dumbfounded, "Still...still eating..."
Mu Tiande picked up the basin with a smile, "I'm leaving tomorrow. I can't keep it this summer. It's a pity to waste it. I'll go get some noodles and let's share it."
Mu Ning held her belly in horror. No matter how delicious the food was, she couldn't bear to eat so much in one go.
"Grandpa, I don't want to eat anymore. I can't eat anymore."
Chen Xizhu also shook her head, "I'm full too."
Mu Tiande placed his last hope on Gu Lin.
The man thought of the two humiliations he had suffered today. Under the expectant eyes of the old man, he nodded.
"Hey, I said we two can eat from the same pot."
