"Tasting crabs, drinking wine, appreciating chrysanthemums, and reciting poems are wonderful things to do in the golden autumn season!" Hua Tianzong couldn't help but sigh. "Come, come, let me toast the two of you, thank you for rescuing the child except for this water bully." Hua Tianzong raised his glass and stood up to toast.

"Hua Yuanwai is really polite. Seeing injustice is what we people in the Jianghu should do." Hua Manlou got up and thanked.

"Beautiful sister, come and eat hairy crabs!" Hua Ruling waved to the maid to untie the crabs, and saw a maid walking slowly with a tray on which were placed delicate small tools, namely hammers, forging, pliers, shovels, etc. , spoon, fork, scraper, and needle are eight kinds of tools for unraveling crabs, which are called eight pieces of crabs.

"Nine females and ten males, it's time to eat crabs in a blink of an eye." As a person from the south of the Yangtze River, Hua Manlou has a special experience in eating crabs.

Dongfang Bai looked at the red hairy crabs in front of him, which were quite appetizing, but he looked at the eight pieces of crabs on the table and felt a bit pretentious, but in order not to lose his identity, he didn't do it right away. Dongfang Bai is I won't say that I don't know how to use those crabs...

"This pot of chrysanthemums is blooming really well." Hua Manlou admired the pot of chrysanthemums in the corner.

"This is something I specially hired someone to cultivate carefully." Hua Tianzong couldn't help but said happily when he heard Hua Manlou's praise, "Brother Lou, you should know that this chrysanthemum is not only for viewing, but also for eating, you know These few crabs can't fill your stomach."

"Oh, what kind of food did you use for it?" Huamanlou asked knowingly, Huamanlou he remembered very clearly, his father told anecdotes about his grandfather, there are three good things, good wine, good food, good flowers, this chrysanthemum made He remembered that there seemed to be quite a variety of delicacies, and he didn't know which one he was going to introduce.

"The food is not served yet!" Hua Tianzong ordered the maid beside him, and after a while several dishes were brought to the table.

"Beautiful sister, this is chrysanthemum chicken, this is chrysanthemum perch soup, this is chrysanthemum salt-baked duck, and Jiujiu chrysanthemum cake..." Hua Ruling introduced each dish to Dongfang Bai.

Looking at the dishes on the table, Dongfang Bai couldn't help but sigh that it was really a chrysanthemum banquet.

"I almost forgot to mention this wine, it's also wine made from chrysanthemums." Hua Tianzong pointed at the jug and said.

"Besides the flowers, he is still a wonderful person." Dongfang Bairao said with interest.

"Beautiful sister, can you untie crabs?" Hua Ruling asked with bright eyes.

"No!" Dongfang Bai shook his head and said.

"Then I'll teach you." Hua Ruling said as he rolled up his sleeves, cleaned himself in the basin handed by the maid, and began to understand the work of crabs.

"First use scissors to cut off the crab legs and claws, then use this small hammer to put the crab on the picking stool, and gently tap back and forth on the edge of the crab's back shell. This is to loosen the crab shell first, so that it is easy to lift the cover. "Hua Ruling tapped with a small metal hammer.

Hua Manlou watched the interaction between the two and shook his head with a smile. He also started to untie the crab. If he learned how to untie the crab, he also learned it from his father. Now he looks at the child's father doing the untwisting crab with a feeling of going back in time and space.

Dongfang Bai looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but sigh at the wealth of Hua's family. The sets of eight crabs on the table are all made of gold. No wonder the water thieves kidnapped his family. This is really showing off!

"Let's open the back shell and belly button again. Because I hit it many times with a hammer, the big cover is easy to remove. This is a female crab, and there is a lot of yellow inside! Pretty sister, use it first, I am removing these crabs Dispose of the legs and crab claws." Hua Ruling kept talking without stopping for a moment, and the small plate was filled with crab meat in a short time.

Dongfang Bai didn't do it right away, but concentrated on watching Hua Ruling's operation, watching him carefully remove the crab gills with tweezers, that is, the thick white slices, and the crab stomach covered with bones, gills and stomach It's all extremely cold.

"These things are inedible." Hua Ruling explained, "Beautiful sister, hurry up and eat it, it won't taste good when it's cold, by the way, remember to add some ginger vinegar, it will dispel the cold."

Dongfang Bai nodded in response, and looked at Huamanlou again, only to see that Huamanlou and Hua Ruling were exactly the same picking up the crab meat in the crab claws with a long needle. They were really father and son, and their movements were exactly the same.I can't help but fantasize about my life in the future. Will there be a particularly cute child?

"Brother Lou actually has an unfeeling favor from me." Hua Tianzong glanced at his youngest son, and Dongfangbai pursed his lips with a smile.

"Outside the flower staff, please tell me." Hua Manlou nodded.

"Two, the dog likes you very much, so I want you to stay in my residence for a few more days." Hua Tianzong said.

"This..." Hua Manlou looked at Dongfang Bai hesitantly, although he really wanted to stay in Jiangnan for a while, but living in Hua Mansion would always be inconvenient, and Dongfang Bai might not agree.

"Then let's bother Hua Yuanwai for a few more days." Dongfang Bai said, "I heard that the gardens in Suzhou are very beautiful. We can stay for a few more days when we come out, okay?" Dongfang Bai looked at Huamanlou .

"Then trouble the flower staff." Hua Manlou nodded.

"Brother Lou, you are welcome. Tomorrow I will specially send someone to take the two of you to visit the beautiful scenery of Suzhou." Hua Tianzong was also very happy when he heard that the two stayed. He respects those who have helped the Hua family and are capable.

"That's really great, sister, I'll take you to the Humble Administrator's Garden tomorrow." Hua Ruling dropped the crab in her hand and clapped her hands.

"Cough, let's pay attention to your quality." Hua Tianzong looked at Hua Ruling with some dissatisfaction.

Seeing her father's disapproving gaze, Hua Ruling quickly sat down and stopped moving, but there was still a look of expectation in her eyes.

"The dishes are getting cold, please use them quickly." Hua Tianzong regained his smiling expression.

"Hua Yuanwai is really a strict father!" Dongfang Bai looked at Hua Ruling who was sitting very upright and said with a faint smile.

"Ling'er is my only son, and the Hua family will also be handed over to him in the future. In order not to let the Hua family fall, I have to suffer him." Hua Tianzong said with emotion, "But fortunately, Ling'er is talented. Clever and extremely intelligent, I remember I once asked for a lottery for my son at Hanshan Temple. I happened to meet Master Kong Xiang, and I made a divination for my son, saying that if you meet a noble person, you can turn bad luck into good luck, become rich and rich, and have a lot of children and grandchildren. According to him, this time Ling'er can escape from the sea of ​​suffering, the two must be Ling'er's destined nobles."

"Really, hehe..." Dongfang Bai looked at Huamanlou with a smile.

Hua Manlou was a little surprised, his father will be very rich in the future, full of children and grandchildren, he suddenly felt that Master Kongxiang was not an ordinary monk, maybe he really had some special skills, and wanted to meet him once. "In a few days, let's go to Hanshan Temple to worship Buddha, okay?" Hua Manlou looked at Dongfang Bai and asked.

"Yeah." Dongfang Bai nodded in agreement, but he felt a little strange why Hua Manlou would want to worship Buddha. They passed by the White Horse Temple before and didn't go in to have a look. Does this Master Kongxiang really have any skills?There was a trace of curiosity in my heart.

"That's just right. It will be the first day of the new year in two days. My wife is going to Hanshan Temple to fulfill his vows. We will go together when the time comes. You must know that the vegetarian food in Hanshan Temple is extraordinarily delicious." Hua Tianzong became interested when he mentioned eating .

Hua Manlou and Dongfang Bai exchanged a glance, knowing it clearly, "Then I'll have to trouble Hua Yuanwai."

"Hey, the old beggar Hua Yuanwai is really too polite. Brother Lou, how old is Hua Mochi, how old are you? Calling him big brother is not taking advantage of you!" Hua Tian laughed.

"Brother Hua..." Hua Manlou called out hesitantly. Hua Tianzong didn't take advantage of him, but he took advantage of himself. He called his grandfather his brother and brother, and became his father's uncle. Huamanlou is really a little embarrassed.

"Hey, brother and sister in that building, you should be polite to me." Hua Tianzong clasped his fists and said.

"Brother Hua." Dongfang Bai hugged his fist in a natural way.

"Ling'er, you won't be able to call her elder sister anymore." Hua Tianzong looked at Hua Ruling, who was somewhat melancholy, and said.

"I see." Hua Ruling lowered her head and said in a low voice. "Meet uncle, aunt."

"Brother Hua, let Ling'er call me sister, this aunt sounds weird." Dongfang Bai raised his eyebrows, and she was not sensitive to this "aunt".

Seeing that Dongfang Bai said so, Hua Tian had no choice but to give up. Hua Ruling regained his initial activity when he heard it, but after being stared at by Hua Tianzong, he immediately became honest again.

Dongfang Bai pursed his lips into a smile, and quietly ate the food.
