Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 1483 - 302, The Crab Bride (19)

"Yuanyuan, hurry up! The delicious and tasty big crabs are out of the pot!"

Looking at that big plate full of vivid red crabs, Xu Muqing’s mouth was watering with desire.

"You guys go ahead and eat, I still have a spicy crab dish that’s almost ready."

Carrying the freshly cooked sautéed river crab, Lin Yuan smiled and asked Shui Xian and Yin Xing to have the boys bring an extra table to the backyard.

Originally, there was only one small stone table in the backyard, which was enough for a few people to dine at, but since they were eating big crabs today, everyone needed more space to really enjoy it.

Wei Boyu also nodded in agreement: "Right, let’s bring another table over. Later, you ladies can sit at this small table, and we men will sit at the big table."

No sooner had he finished speaking, Yan Ruchun immediately scoffed with her nose wrinkled: "Us at the small table and you guys at the big table? What kind of logic is that? Looking down on us? If you look down on us women, then don’t eat! All these crabs on the table were made by Lin Yuan, what does it have to do with you?"

Hearing Yan Ruchun’s teasing, Wei Boyu instantly glared with a fierce ’hah’, feeling almost driven mad by her: "What’s up with you, Miss Yan? Why do you have to rebut everything I say?"

After speaking, Wei Boyu narrowed his eyes, one hand on his chest, and one hand touching his chin, his tone full of teasing: "Could it be that you actually like me?"

Like?

Xu Muqing, who was drooling over the crab, and Wei Borong suddenly perked up their ears. Lin Yuan, just about to step into the small kitchen, silently stopped in her tracks, her eyes rolling around, her attention completely focused on Yan Ruchun and Wei Boyu.

After the question, Wei Boyu actually regretted it, what was he thinking asking something like that out of the blue?

Yet, why was he faintly feeling a bit of anticipation? What was he expecting?

Despite feeling regretful inside, his expression didn’t change at all, still carrying that teasing look, appearing just like those dissolute young masters that can be found everywhere in Capital city.

Xu Muqing and Wei Borong looked at each other in surprise, their big brother was acting out of the ordinary!

"Like you?"

Yan Ruchun suddenly burst into laughter, as if hearing the funniest joke in the world, pointing at Wei Boyu’s face, laughing so hard that her face turned red: "Like you? How could you be so funny? My, Eldest Young Master Wei, my eyesight is fine, I would never fall for you!"

Seeing Yan Ruchun’s flushed little face, Wei Boyu felt a slight sinking in his heart, his grinning lips hardened. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Over there, Xu Muqing and Wei Borong, very in sync, turned their heads away, each holding a plate, and quietly snuck to the side, fearing that these two might suddenly start fighting and ruin the freshly served big crabs.

Sigh.

Over there, Lin Yuan let out a soft sigh and went back to the small kitchen to continue cooking the spicy crab.

Indeed, it wasn’t long before those two started bickering again, but for some reason, she felt that the tension between the two seemed even more intense this time.

The spicy crab dish was also a very simple one — carefully pry open the crab shell, remove the gills and such, then slice the remaining body in half, and it was ready to go.

Pour oil into the pan, fry the prepared crabs first, then stir-fry with chili peppers and it’s done.

Of course, don’t forget to add salt for seasoning before taking it out of the pan, and sprinkle some coriander on it after it’s out.

While the spicy crab is being served, Yan Ruchun and another are still bickering back and forth.

However, this time both of them are clearly tired. Wei Boyu is sitting by a small stone table, and Yan Ruchun by a taller big table, one looking down from above, the other looking up, creating an inadvertently comical scene.

While those two are still arguing, Xu Muqing and Wei Borong seem intrigued with their own conversation, laughing with cherubic faces as if blooming like flowers.

Seizing the moment while there’s still time, Lin Yuan quickly prepared the crab with noodles.

The noodles were brought from the main kitchen. The small crabs in the third basin were cleaned in advance by Shui Xian and Yin Xing, their shells and legs scrubbed clean, and then the crab roe and meat were picked out with chopsticks, stir-fried with green onions, ginger, and garlic, turning into a crab roe sauce for the noodles.

Once all this is ready, all that’s left is to boil some water for the noodles when the time comes.

Having prepared several dishes, Lin Yuan glanced at Yan Ruchun and Wei Boyu still locked in their glaring contest and bantering, then went to call Xia Zheng downstairs to eat.

Lin Yuan expected that Xia Zheng would still be asleep, but to her surprise, as she tiptoed into the room, she saw Xia Zheng sitting on the edge of the bed, eyes wide open, his face etched with the agony of injury.

"What’s wrong?" Lin Yuan was startled. Why does Xia Zheng look like he’s taken a heavy blow?

Xia Zheng sniffled, stretched out his long arm to embrace Lin Yuan, resting his head against her stomach, pouting pitifully as he complained, "Yuanyuan, I dreamt that we got married."

Married? Isn’t that a good thing?

Lin Yuan’s face flushed red, determined not to tell him that she also often dreamt about their wedding.

"Getting married, why such a face then?"

Lin Yuan’s voice was muffled, with a hint of displeasure, didn’t he want them to get married?

Xia Zheng sniffed hard again, rubbing his head against her, it was unclear if he was angry or crying, his voice more stifled than Lin Yuan’s: "We were in the bridal chamber, I even lifted the red veil, but, but the person I saw wasn’t you, it was, it was a huge crab! And it was clutching its big pincers at my nose! Wuu, Yuanyuan, do you not love me anymore? You’ve been deceiving me."

Lin Yuan’s mouth twitched, and her body stiffened. A perfectly good bride turned into a huge crab waving big pincers, even inexplicably pinching his nose, not to mention Xia Zheng, she herself would have cried to death in frustration.

However, Lin Yuan didn’t think for a second that Xia Zheng having this dream was because he was too eager to marry her. It was because he was craving crabs!

Rolling her eyes silently, Lin Yuan pushed Xia Zheng, who took the opportunity to grope her waist while nestled in her arms, to one side with a huff, "Alright, the big crab that you’ve been daydreaming and dreaming about is ready, just waiting for you, the groom, to come over and appreciate it!"

With that, Lin Yuan lifted her chin, huffed, and turned to leave.

Xia Zheng licked his dry lips, retracted the drool that almost escaped, unsure whether it was due to the crab or the sweet fragrance he had just sniffed on Lin Yuan’s body.
