Chapter 903: Crab sauce noodles (2)
" Yeah!" Qi Zhi nodded as he pulled his elder brother inside the house while Father Lin glanced at Qi Zhen one last time and then walked inside the house as well.
Qi Zhen who saw Father Lin glare at him felt rather uncomfortable. He thought that Father Lin and these bastards would die in the famine but they somehow managed to survive and even came to this place, if he did not deal with them then he would be the one in trouble!
On the other side, Su Wan was taking care of the hairy crabs. She first left them to steam and then started to crack them open one by one to collect crab roe.
" Is this fine? If that man sees Father then he would definitely cause trouble for him," Lin Yan asked as he collected the crab meat by cutting the shell of the crabs with the help of seafood scissors something Su Wan asked the blacksmith to make in bulk as they would need them a lot in the future.
Su Wan who was done collecting the crab roe turned to look at Lin Yan and smiled with a confident look on her face, " Don\'t worry. He will not try to make a move for the time being, with the imperial decree in my hands he will only try to make a move behind our backs. However, with Second Madam Lai keeping an eye on him, do you think that we need to worry about them?"
She pulled the bowl of crab meat and started to shred it into large pieces of meat.
" What if Second Madam Lai gets caught?" Lin Yan asked. He placed the scissors on the kitchen platform and then turned to look at Su Wan solemnly. " I am not trying to be pessimistic but still."
" She won\'t." Though Second Madam Lai was not as smart as Old Madam Lai, she had the trust of her elder sister. Something that could be made use of as much as possible. " I know that you are thinking of all sorts of ifs and buts, however, this is something that you need not worry about. Second Madam Lai might be a fool but she is quite witty when it comes to her own safety.
Or else do you think that she could have hidden the affair that she had with the Late Master of the Lai family for so many years? She knows when to advance and retreat. More importantly, she is the elder of the Lai family, Qi Zhen being a household son-in-law will think twice before offending her."
After she was done explaining the matter, Su Wan stopped shredding the crab meat and then walked over to a large wok where she started to heat oil and then added minced ginger and garlic before adding the crab meat. She stirred the wok with expert-like skills and once the meat was cooked, she poured chicken stock in the wok. Continue reading at m|v-l\'e -NovelBin.net
With a lid covering the wok, she turned to look at Lin Yan and smiled when she saw that he was still worried.
\' This man, he will one day end up getting his head swelled up with the amount of worries he took every day.\' Su Wan thought in her head. She tip-toed on her toes and then kissed Lin Yan on the lips before saying, " Stop worrying. There is no point in worrying about how to cross the bridge when you are miles away from it. If the second madam Lai gets caught then we will deal with it.
What\'s the worst they can even do?"
Lin Yan pursed his lips and then puckered his lips before saying, " I am still worrying. Give me another kiss."
Su Wan tittered but she did do as he asked causing the crab sauce to almost get burned.
Fortunately, the two of them separated soon enough or else the sauce would have really burned!
Once the sauce was done Su Wan poured it on the noodles that had been boiled along with the sauce and then handed it to the maids who followed her to the Big Ocean City from Dong Tong town. She asked them to be careful while serving as the guards outside were not just any guards but the Imperial Guards!
" Don\'t worry, Madam. We know what to do," the maids bowed as they took away the trays. And because Su Wan thought that crab sauce noodles were not enough, she decided to make some braised pig totters as well. Since the ones who were sitting outside were Imperial Guards she could not just serve them one dish.
This was her chance to tell the Emperor that she was doing a great job while staying at the Big Ocean City.
Thus not only did she make braise totters, but she also brought Sichuan fish with pickles mustard greens. It was not only velvety and smooth but also salty and tangy. It was so flavourful that when she was pregnant, Su Wan could not have enough of it!
She was sure that the Imperial guard would love these flavours!
On the other side, once the dishes were served the first one to start was none other than Yun Zhao as the Lin brothers did not have any official title yet they could not sit together with the imperial guards.
" Mhmm, this is really good. Just one bite and I can feel all my stress leaving my body," Master Yun sighed with contentment as he bit into the tangy, slightly spicy and juicy crab sauce noodles.
When the Imperial Guards saw Master Yun eat so happily, they all swallowed hard and could not help but take a bite as well.
The second they slurped the noodles, their eyes lit up with joy as they had never eaten something so delicious.
