Everyone was waiting for Gu Yao to cook the crabs. When they smelled the aroma of the crabs, Gu Yun and the other two children almost drooled. Looking at the scene inside, they swallowed their saliva and said, "Dad, Dad, Dad, the crabs are so fragrant. No wonder my sister said that those rich families love to eat them. If we can eat crabs, we will be blessed."

The three men including Gu's father nodded immediately. They couldn't wait any longer. They didn't expect that Gu Yao had such skills.

When Gu Yao brought out all the crabs, she looked at their stunned expressions and said loudly, "Come on, everyone. The crabs are almost ready. I also wrapped them in vegetable leaves. I made two portions, one steamed and one spicy. You can eat whichever you want."

Looking at the delicious crabs, they didn't know how to eat them. Gu Yaozi quickly told them how to eat them.

"I read all these ways of eating crabs in books, and my classmate had eaten them before, so he took me to eat one or two. They were delicious, but Dad, you guys should eat less, after all, crabs are a bit cold."

Gu's mother and the others couldn't wait any longer, so they started working hard after learning how to cook the crabs. These crabs were indeed delicious, and they were fresh and the water quality was good, so of course they tasted even better.

Gu Yao picked up a crab and started eating. The crabs she had eaten before were either artificially farmed or came from poor water quality. Although the cooking methods were superb, they could not compare to the ancient Feng Shui.

She felt that it was really delicious. It seemed that her cooking skills were quite good, at least she didn't forget it.

They ate the two large basins of crabs very quickly. Everyone had a full stomach and sat on the stools, rubbing their stomachs and sighing: "Life is so good. We are eating crabs that only rich families can afford. You are worthy of being my good daughter. You are really capable."

Gu Yao was a little embarrassed: "Mom, these are just crabs cooked in the river. The crabs they brought back are better and more delicious than ours. When I make money and pass the imperial examination, I will take you to eat them."

Mother Gu smiled and narrowed her eyes: "Our crabs are already good enough. Look at who else can cook crabs? I haven't even eaten them. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know that things from the river can be eaten, and they taste so good."

Father Gu and the others laughed and said, "Yes, A-Yao, these crabs are indeed delicious, but it's a pity that the seasoning is quite expensive, otherwise we would really like to eat them every day."

Gu Yao listened to their words and immediately said: "Mom, Dad, do you really think it tastes good? What do you think if we cook the crabs and sell them? After all, the crabs in those good restaurants are very expensive and other people can't afford them. But if we cook them and sell them, we will definitely be able to sell them cheaper than the restaurants, and we can also make more money for our family."

Mother Gu looked at Father Gu nervously and said, "Is there really someone who wants to buy this crab? But they are from the river, so they won't look down on it, right?"

Gu Yao smiled and said, "Do you think this tastes good?"

Gu's mother and the others said in unison: "Of course it's delicious. It's really delicious. It would be best if we could eat it every day."

Men like Gu's father know that they cannot eat too much. After all, it is too cold. Especially for Gu Yun and others, they are still growing and will get married in the future, so they cannot eat too much.

But it would be good if you could eat it every few days.

"If you think it's delicious, then other people will definitely think it's delicious too, so we just need to do it well and it will be great if we can make some money around the Mid-Autumn Festival."

There are not so many crabs in the river, but now is the time to eat crabs, and these crabs are all very big. Anyway, I don’t want to make too much money, as long as I can make some money to buy some things for my family. It would also be great if I could make enough money to repair the house.

The Gu family’s house is already in a dilapidated state, and some places will leak if it rains. It’s because the family is too poor.

"Mom, I just want to make some money to repair the house. My second brother and his family also want to find a master to teach them some good embroidery. If they have skills, they will be respected by their in-laws when they get married."

When Gu's mother and her family heard that the house was going to be renovated, they were naturally very happy. The house they lived in was an old one. Gu's mother had wanted to retire before, but she had spent all the money she earned, so they could only make do with it.

I just thought that if these crabs could really make money, then it is possible that they would not dream of building houses anymore.

Mother Gu watched her daughter, Gu Yao, becoming more and more proud, and was moved as she became more and more capable.

"Ayao, you will be the head of our Gu family in the future, and you are also a scholar. You can decide what to do at home. Mom has no objection. After all, you have grown up, and you will get married in the future. So if you have money, you can repair it. But you still need to save some money. After all, you have to take the imperial examination. It costs a lot of money. You know the amount."

Gu Yao nodded: "Don't worry, mother, I know what I'm doing. I'll build a house when I save enough money. If I have more money, I'll buy a few acres of land. Land is the foundation of us ordinary people."

"Ayao, what kind of husband do you want to marry? You are not a child anymore. If you don't marry now, I am afraid that the government will arrange a marriage for you next year. The husband you marry may not be good. I don't want to let you down."

In Gu's father's heart, his daughter deserves the best, and she is a scholar. After she passes the imperial examination, she can even marry the son of the county magistrate. However, his daughter is not a child anymore, and she must find a husband now.

After hearing this, Mother Gu thought this was a big deal and smiled from ear to ear: "Yes, I told you before that your father has been looking for someone in every village and even hired a matchmaker to find one for you. Tell me what kind of person you want to marry so that I can arrange it for you when the time comes."

Gu Yao felt very shy after listening to this, she didn't expect that she was a single dog in her previous life, but now she could actually marry a husband, and it is possible to marry three. However, she didn't know what kind of man she liked. Here, it was all blind marriage, and she didn't have anyone she liked in her previous life. It felt like she was about to become a nun.

"Mom, as long as I have good character and am filial to you, I don't care about anything else."

She knew she couldn't avoid this, so she just lay down. Fortunately, women are in charge here, unlike the ancient times in her previous life, so it was a good thing that he traveled here.

Father Gu was happy to see that Gu Yao had no objection. He had wanted to find a husband for Gu Yao for a long time, but unfortunately the previous owner was unwilling. She felt that she wanted to marry a man from a wealthy family after passing the imperial examination. Even if she couldn't marry a scholar's son, it should be okay to marry a businessman's son.

The merchant's son is rich, so he can use his dowry to support his own studies. When he passes the imperial examination and becomes an official, he can then marry a girl from a wealthy family to be his doctor. This way he will be able to show off his wealth.

Thinking about the original owner's plan, I really think it was a good plan.

In today's society, the class of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans really oppresses the merchants. Not only can merchants not take the imperial examinations, they are also looked down upon when they go out. They have no choice but to do other things, so many merchants want to marry their sons to scholars or officials.
