Orion's pretty daughter-in-law

Chapter 291 The Other Side of the Sea

If it weren't for Yun Jinghao's residence is not in a bustling commercial street or an ordinary civilian residential area, there is a certain sound insulation effect across a constant distance, and even if there are firecrackers in the surrounding mansions, they are only set off in the morning. It's not too much, Luo Jinxiu will definitely be disturbed to death.

It's not that they didn't buy firecrackers. After eating a richer and more exquisite breakfast than usual in the morning, they also set off a thousand rings outside in response to the scene. After that, they just listened to the ringing outside, and then ate the melons they bought. Talk about snacks.

As for the New Year’s Eve dinner, after noon, the kitchen started to get busy. Jinghua Shuiyue, who started to take her annual leave a few days ago, also went to help. The hired cook can handle the general ingredients, but some of the more precious ones, I’m afraid it won’t be handled well. , can't do it well, they can only come by themselves.

I spent last year at the Duke’s Mansion, not to mention how sumptuous the New Year’s Eve dinner at the Duke’s Mansion is, ever since Yun Jinghao and the Yun family separated, they built a large courtyard to live alone, and also spent a new year at home, when they I had already made a lot of money, and the New Year’s Eve dinner was also well prepared, and there was no shortage of chicken, duck and fish. It’s just that the family was small at the time, so apart from the essential New Year’s Eve dinner classics, the rest was to pick and choose. Watching her and Yun Jinghao cook what they like to eat, they don't pay much attention to what to say.

And this year, the menu of the New Year's Eve dinner has become more abundant. Both the quantity and quality of the dishes have improved significantly, approaching the New Year's Eve dinner in the Duke's Mansion. In addition to chicken, duck and fish, there are also seafood such as abalone, ginseng, and belly.

They are in an inland area, so they can't easily buy seafood. Occasionally, they can buy dried kelp, dried salted fish, and shrimp skins brought by shopkeepers in the coastal area.

However, the Duke’s mansion has a wide network and many methods. Among the New Year’s gifts, there are dried abalone, dried sea cucumber, and prawns. It is admitted that there is a whole box of palm-sized sea crabs, and each box adds up to twenty or thirty catties. , Obviously, you can't finish a meal, and the shrimp and crab are even quite fresh and frozen.

This means that in winter, you can find a way to send these sea foods. If it is summer, in this ancient time where the transportation is extremely inconvenient, if you want to eat fresh sea foods, unless the emperor or empress sends them quickly, ordinary people don't expect it at all.

This year they are lucky, no, you can't say that, the lucky ones include the rest of the family, but Luo Jinxiu is the only one who has a big belly!There are many taboos in terms of seafood, especially the sea crab, which she loves very much, which cannot be eaten at all. Even shrimp and stewed sea fish can only be eaten in small amounts.

At the moment, you can’t eat more food or even eat it at all. You can only watch other people eat with gusto, what a taste!Usually, she doesn't have much chance to eat seafood. The last time she ate seafood was when the relatives in the capital and the Duke's Mansion celebrated the New Year, and now it has been a whole year!
If it's a different life, not to mention eating every day, but every month, I will go to the hotel I frequent or the restaurant with good seafood to eat twice. It's good to come here. The interval is not counted by month, but by year!
Calculated according to the general life expectancy of this era, how many times can she eat in a lifetime?The number of times was so small that she had the urge to wear it back for a moment.

However, while eating the delicious meat crab legs, Xiao Shanchang clicked his tongue twice and commented, "This is so much meat, I can't finish it in one bite, it is so fresh! It is indeed a gift from the Duke's mansion. I passed by the seaside when I was traveling. It's not that I haven't eaten seafood before, but the taste can't be compared with it, it's a pity that Jinxiu has a body and can't eat it."

Luo Jinxiu: "..." How angry!Didn't you really want to stimulate her on purpose?

Yun Jinghao helped her pick out the fishbone while looking down at her wrinkled sleeves. The clothes were newly made for the first time today, but he didn't pay attention to them and followed her gaze Looking at Xiao Shanchang, he saw that the latter inadvertently revealed a teasing look, and his expression was very helpless.

Although at Xiao Shan's age, it is not appropriate to describe it as an 'old child', but as an adult, is it appropriate for an elder to deliberately tease a pregnant junior?

Yun Jinghao picked up crucian carp meat with chopsticks for her, and said in a low voice, "I can't eat sea fish and crabs, so eat some crucian carp first. After the baby is born and your body is healthy, you can eat whatever you want." Based on the principle of sharing weal and woe, he did not eat even a shrimp or a fat and tender crab leg, even though he also liked the taste of sea food.

Luo Jinxiu ate the fish angrily, grabbed his arm and said, "I'll endure it for another year or two, after that, let's go to a town by the sea to live for a while, and I'll eat it for a while!" Don't believe it. I can't solve my hunger!
Hearing this, Xiao Shanchang, who pricked up his ears, almost spit out the crab meat in his mouth, covered his mouth and shrugged his shoulders, the smile in his eyes almost overflowed, ouch, this girl is so cute It was so much fun.

Even the corners of Wei Yan's lips curled up slightly, but in order to prevent her from getting so angry that she couldn't even eat a New Year's Eve dinner comfortably, she casually peeled a shrimp, and When Xiao Shanchang wanted to speak, he directly stuffed it into his mouth, and gave him a sideways look, showing a warning.

Almost got it.

Xiao Shan didn't intend to make Luo Jinxiu unhappy at all. They still celebrated the New Year together at his home. Of course he would pay attention to propriety. No matter how you say it, it's the shortest way to eat others. Besides, if he said a few more words, Yun Jinghao probably wouldn't will sit idly by.

Jin Shu originally felt a little bit sorry for her sister, but seeing her angry mouth, she didn't delay eating other meals at all, and she didn't look really angry, so she knew that they were just playing around, and didn't care about it, and continued to eat hard .

Jinyu said even more enthusiastically: "Sister, when are you going to the beach, can you take me there too? I heard sister Jinghua say that the sea is so big that you can't see the end at a glance, and it's also very beautiful. Is it true? of?"

Luo Jinxiu raised her eyebrows and looked at the spectacle flower, and said in surprise, "Have you ever been to the beach?"

Jinghua looked a little embarrassed, "No, I just heard it mentioned by several masters of the Duke's Mansion." And she also always yearned to see it with her own eyes.

It's a pity that with her status, no matter when she was in the Duke's mansion or now, she must follow in the footsteps of her master. How can she go wherever she wants, unless the master is willing to take her with her when she goes, but this This kind of expectation is not something she can take the initiative to raise.

Luo Jinxiu looked at Jinghua thoughtfully for a while, then turned her head and said with a smile: "The sea is indeed vast and boundless, but if you want to say whether it is beautiful or not, the benevolent will see the benevolent and the wise will see the wisdom, and from different The scenery of the sea seen in the coastal areas is also different, and we will go and see together when we have the opportunity in the future.”

Climate, geographical location, and various other factors will affect the appearance of the sea that people can see visually. In some places, the sea looks sky blue, blue, or even green. It is estimated that if they see the sea, they will be surprised. Several colors will feel incredible.

"The sea is not only big, but on the other side of the sea there may be continents or even countries similar to ours, with different political powers and different races, such as blond, blue-eyed, curly-haired, and barbarians who are more like foreigners, He also spoke a foreign language that he didn't understand at all." Luo Jinxiu talked eloquently.

The people present who didn't pay much attention to it before could not help but be surprised to hear her speak so naturally and casually, and to learn about the sea so easily.

Director Xiao Shan even asked directly: "You know so much about the sea, could it be that you have been there before? Moreover, how do you know that there are other lands or even countries on the other side of the sea?" Still blond?He can't even imagine what a person with that kind of appearance looks like, isn't it a monster?

"I—" Of course I did!There are also branches in several developed coastal cities.

But it is impossible for Luo Jinxiu to say these words, and in this world, it doesn't take much effort to find out her experience from childhood to adulthood, if she says she has been there, it is too easy to be exposed.

Luo Jinxiu only paused for a moment and then said naturally: "Although I haven't been there, I once found a travel book and mentioned it. The author of the travel book described very vividly the places he traveled across the ocean. In this place, there are some small islands with vast lands, and the foreigners I just mentioned look completely different from us. Of course, I am not sure whether the records in the travel notes are true or not. The impression was deep, and I suddenly remembered it, so I mentioned it by the way."

Yun Jinghao: "..." silently watching his daughter-in-law talking nonsense in a serious manner.

Xiao Shanzhang and Wei Yan also stared at her for a while, but they didn't know if they believed her words. Luo Jinxiu's expression was very calm, and it was impossible to tell that she was telling a far-fetched lie.

After a while, Xiao Shanchang casually brought up another topic, and lightly skipped the content about the sea and the other side of the sea, as if he didn't intend to delve into it further.

But when they were eating, drinking, talking and laughing, having eaten a New Year's Eve dinner for about an hour, and were about to go for a walk in the yard to digest, play and make some dumplings for dinner, Master Xiao Shan was in Jinshu Jinyu and they all walked away Finally reminded her: "In the future, don't mention any other countries and power affairs on the other side of the sea. It's easy to cause trouble."

Luo Jinxiu didn't ask what kind of trouble it would cause, and she could basically guess several possibilities, so she readily agreed.

Today is just a matter of talking, and the people who celebrate the New Year together are all her own people, so don't worry that these words will spread to the outside world, she is not too scruples. To the outside world, she is not a word of this kind of words that may arouse some people's ambitions. I won't mention it.

When they approached the house, they digested most of what they had eaten before, and the kitchen put the dumplings made during the day into the pot, and everyone ate a supper lively, stayed up all night, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

There will definitely be many people coming to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow, and they are still busy.
