Chapter 51: Eating Crayfish

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The villagers of Huang Yang Town did not seem to eat spicy food. Their dishes were lightly flavored.

It seemed like this dynasty did not have chilli yet. The environment and lifestyle here was similar to the Song Dynasty’s Jiangnan Province.

However, it was different from the Song Dynasty.

Her master often said that there were many things that could not be discovered. For example, some dynasties had prospered before, but they were easily overlooked because they were too insignificant.

Lu Sheng planted a few tabasco peppers from her previous life in the courtyard, but they had yet to bear fruit.

She still had a lot of food in the Space Bracelet. However, she usually did not dare to include them for fear that the two children would not be used to eating them.

However, she had stir-fried crayfish today, so she added a little bit so that it was mildly spicy.

“Second Sister, it smells so good!”

Lu Xin gulped and stared at the big bowl of crayfish.

Lu Sheng peeled one for her and fed her.

She was still afraid that she would find it spicy. Little did she expect her to finish it without saying anything and even asked for more.

Seeing his younger sister enjoying her meal, Lu Jiang also picked one up and peeled it like Lu Sheng. Then, he stuffed it into his mouth. He immediately blinked his eyes in disbelief.

“Second Sister, it’s delicious!”

Lu Sheng chuckled. “If it’s delicious, eat more. Don’t wipe your eyes with your hands, alright?”

“Got it!”

Lu Sheng smiled and continued peeling for Lu Xin. She didn’t forget to stuff one into her mouth from time to time.

Lu Sheng, who was enjoying her meal, did not know that rumors about her had spread like wildfire.

It was only when Aunt Yu rushed over in a hurry to inform her that she knew.

It turned out that the Duan family had found out that she had bought bricks to build a wall and even hired someone to dig a pond.

The Duan family said that she was preparing to become a concubine of a young master in town. They also said that she earned her money through selling her body.

Needless to say, Duan Zhen must have said something that day when he returned. That was why the Duan family said those words.

Since Duan Zhen was not in the village now, he was probably not the one who said these. The Duan family must have been lying.

However, Lu Sheng did not mind it too much.

A wise man does not believe in rumors.

Seeing her lack of reaction, Aunt Yu felt more at ease.

She was afraid that she would mind and do something stupid. After all, reputation was very important to a lady.

Although she had broken off the engagement with Duan Zhen, others still viewed her reputation as being destroyed.

In addition to the county magistrate, no one from the Chu Family came again ever since she returned after disappearing.

Everyone in the village silently agreed that the Chu family would never marry Lu Sheng again.

Although no one said anything on the surface, they secretly treated this as a topic for discussion after a meal.

Aunt Yu consoled her. “Don’t overthink. They can say whatever they want. We’re innocent and we’re not afraid of them.”

Lu Sheng smiled and nodded. “Thank you, Aunt Yu. Don’t worry, I won’t mind.”

“That’s good!” Aunt Yu nodded. “Your Brother Liang and sister-in-law went to the fields. Ah Yuan is at home alone. I have to go back.”

“Aunt, wait.”

Lu Sheng took out the bowl of crayfish. “I was about to bring them over to you. These are my fried crayfish. Try them.”

“Small, deaf and blind?” Aunt Yu frowned. “What’s that? It has a weird name and it looks weird too. Can it be eaten?”

“Yes!” Lu Sheng nodded. “It’s delicious.”

Despite her solemn expression, Aunt Yu was still doubtful.

When she saw Lu Xin and Lu Jiang wolfing down the food, she reached out to receive it.

“How am I supposed to eat this? What’s this red stuff?”

“Just peel the shell off the head. This red thing is chili. It tastes a bit like cornel. I put just a little, so it’s not spicy.”

When Aunt Yu heard that, she thanked her and left with the crayfish.
