Chapter 1080 : Taihu Lake Crab Feast

Li Xuanxu nodded and quickly agreed: "What the prince said is that Your Majesty has arranged a lot of Taihu crabs for everyone to enjoy. We can eat crabs while reciting poems and write them right, wouldn't it be appropriate?" When he said this, Li Xuanxu glanced at Xiao Yun.

How could Xiao Yun not see the tricks of the two of them? He snorted coldly and said, "Since you are looking for death, don't blame my subordinates for showing mercy!" Seeing Li Xuanxu and Zhang Chen coming, he sneered and said, "Is it okay to obey His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Zhang Chenbao and Li Xuanxu looked at each other, and there was a sense of joy in their eyes.

The civil officials and military generals on the venue began to pass through the hall one after another, and walked towards the backyard with Zhang Shicheng. Finally, there were Zhang Chenbao, Li Xuanxu, Fang Taiping and others. Xiao Yun followed Fang Taiping and Li Xuanxiang. The talented man and beautiful woman in front of him were talking and laughing. As a servant, he was not easy to interrupt, otherwise he would not know the rules. Besides, these so-called talented men were talking about nothing but love, and were not painful. Xiao Yun was too lazy to listen, so he just walked behind alone, without asking about the talented man's affairs, and only looked at Taihu Lake!

I don’t know how many pavilions, corridors, and rockery helloes passed through. Xiao Yun only knew that after walking for a long time, he saw a yard from afar. The yard was very large, close to Taihu Lake, rows of weeping willows, Taihu Lake was rippling blue waves, smoke, fishing boats were traveling back and forth, and a beautiful landscape painting.

Xiao Yun hadn't expected that there would be such a scene in the backyard. After looking at Taihu Lake for a few glances, he turned around and looked at the backyard. The backyard stretched for dozens of miles, with flowers, rockery, pavilions and pavilions that showed the characteristics of Jiangnan gardens. The pavilions and pavilions complemented each other, and the mountains and rivers lit each other, with clear layers. "The mountains are not high but beautiful, the water is not deep but vast." Xiao Yun, who was walking in this courtyard, was arrogant and saw many beautiful scenery, couldn't help but be fascinated by the scenery of Taihu Lake. Everything in front of him, whether it is flowers, grass, or mountains and water, is so perfect that it makes people feel that it is carefully designed. It is only from the swaying flowers and plants and the flying birds that make people realize that everything here is skillful and natural.

Several palaces were also built deep in the yard. After walking through the long corridor and walking in, Xiao Yun was shocked. From the outside, the palace was not big, but when he entered the hall, he found that it was not ordinary big. Just a front pavilion was as big as two basketball courts in later generations. The murals, lampshades, screen walls, incense burners, and tables and chairs were arranged appropriately, which made people look at them and felt a sense of demeanor from the bottom of their hearts.

"No wonder Zhang Shicheng has no ambitions and lives in this fairyland like a god all day long. It would be strange if he has the ambition to unify the world?" Xiao Yun followed the footsteps of everyone and muttered while watching.

With just one skill, the talented men and beautiful women in front of us had a great chat, laughter and joy, and it was not heard.

Xiao Yun was content only to see the scenery, but Zhang Yuluo and Li Xuanxiang turned around from time to time to look at him. He felt good about these two people and nodded from time to time. The two women were blushing.

The group didn't know how long it took to leave, but suddenly heard Zhang Shicheng sitting on the throne and said to everyone, "You are the best friend, I just recited the poem banquet. This brother named Xiao is very talented. I like the song "Dream of Jiangnan". I believe you like it very much. But next is the Taihu crab banquet prepared by me for you. You accompany me to eat crabs and tell me what the story of the crabs?"

"Okay, okay! Tell a story!" Many people in the crowd began to shout.

When he heard the story of a crab, he walked in front of Zhang Chenbao and Li Xuanxu looked at each other, and at the same time he showed a smile. Li Xuanxu snorted coldly and said, "It is okay to recite poems to you, but I don't believe in telling stories, so you can do it!"

"The autumn wind sounds, and the crab legs are itchy", from the cold dew to the beginning of winter, it is the season for Taihu crabs to be launched in large quantities. Ancient poems say, "In September, the navel is the tip of October, and the chrysanthemums are drunk in the sky." There is also the custom of "eating female crabs in the ninth month of the lunar calendar and male crabs in the tenth month of the lunar calendar" and the traditional way of eating chrysanthemums, eating crabs, and drinking yellow wine. Since it is to eat crabs, the manager who has already received instructions divides the Taihu crabs that have been picked up in the morning into steam, boiled, dragged noodles, drunk, and pickled.

After taking out the crab meat, they made famous dishes such as crab meat, lion heads, peacock shrimp crabs, crab oil crystal balls, fried crab noodles, crab noodles and other famous dishes. The famous dishes were delivered to the table one by one. Looking at the large plate of female crabs on the table, Xiao Yun tasted them first. Although he was a servant, his talent just now had no idea to see him as a servant. After someone arranged it, he had a seat. Seeing that Taihu crabs were sent up, he sat down and ate them without any politeness.

Xiao Yun ate a lot of this crab. When he used to eat, he learned from some old men in the village, and he would hide with knives and forks. He would start eating after chopping them up, regardless of the popularity. Seeing Li Xuanxu and Zhang Chenbao opposite him, he would eat one crab with no chopsticks or knife and forks, but he would also eat in an orderly manner, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried about his popularity.

Looking at the table full of Taihu crabs, she didn't dare to take action. Li Xuanxiang happened to sit opposite Xiao Yun. Seeing his eyes looking at the table full of Taihu crabs, but he was reluctant to do it. She couldn't help but feel a little strange, but she was meticulous. She glanced at Zhang Chenbao and Li Xuanxiang on the side immediately understood, smiled slightly, and said to herself: "Look at how you can do anything, I didn't expect there would be a time to get defeated?" He picked up a Taihu crab from the table, and didn't know what method he used to remove a good male crab. Xiao Yun only looked at it once, then remembered the way to eat it in his heart, and nodded gratefully to Li Xuanxiang.

Although this nod was not very obvious, she was her daughter's house and nodded in public with a man who touched her breasts. This relationship became a little ambiguous. Li Xuanxiang couldn't help but blush and quickly lowered her head.

Taihu crabs are a big weight, with thick crab roe, tender meat, and extremely plump beauty. One crab is enough to have a full meal. After Li Xuanxiang's drill, Xiao Yun has eaten in an orderly manner. He finally killed two of them, and was still feeling a little unsatisfied. He was about to drink some yellow wine and taste one, but suddenly he heard Zhang Shicheng laughing and said, "I believe you have tasted Taihu crabs. I wonder how you have prepared your story?"

As soon as these words were said, everyone, whether they were eating or those who had eaten well, put down the Taihu crab in their hands and wiped their palms, as if they were ready to take this opportunity to perform well, especially Zhang Chenbao and Li Xuanxu who were full of energy, were extremely excited!
