Help! My pet supervillain has three personalities!
Chapter 238 Crayfish
"Oh, Grandma Li, I need to buy a lot of vegetables, and you have so many here!" Tang Yue never spoils the fun when chatting with older people.
Grandma Li smiled warmly: "Really?"
"Okay, Grandma Li, I want chives, lettuce, potatoes, eggplant... green peppers, and... bean sprouts!"
Tang Yue rattled off a long list of green vegetables, basically listing everything that could be found on the stall. Grandma Li could barely carry them all, but her grandson happened to be returning from unloading goods and helped Tang Yue carry a lot. Grandma Li also gave Tang Yue a large bunch of scallions and a large bunch of cilantro.
They also gave her a very cheap price.
Tang Yue couldn't help but frown every time she saw cilantro.
Its flavor is really strong.
However, although she doesn't like to eat this stuff, she never refuses Grandma Li's kindness. In the past, she would always endure it and take it to a secluded place to put it in her storage space, but today, someone is carrying the burden for her.
She reached out and pulled Lin Hao, who was standing behind her, to the front, saying like a wolf in sheep's clothing, "Come on, Lin Hao, these dishes are yours."
She put all the vegetables into a large basket and then hung it on Lin Hao's forearm.
With a vegetable basket slung over his left arm and his right hand supporting the bottom of the basket, Lin Hao nodded earnestly, "Yes, little sister, I will take good care of them."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you to take care of them!"
Grandma Li looked at Lin Hao with curiosity.
"Xiao Yuan, is he a new servant you hired?"
Grandma Li had never seen Tang Yue bring anyone with her when she went grocery shopping. Oh, no, in the past, Zhao Wu and Li Yang would occasionally accompany her, but later she heard that Zhao Wu had joined the army, and afterwards she rarely saw anyone accompany Tang Yue. Oh right, she seemed to have seen Li Yang's two apprentices come by once.
So, she was quite curious about the strange man she had never met before who had come today.
"Oh? Him? No, he's... my brother's distant cousin, named Lin Hao. He'll be coming here with me often from now on. Grandma Li, he's a little mentally challenged, so please be understanding if he ever offends you."
When Granny Li heard that Lin Hao, such a big man, was not very bright, her eyes immediately turned to pity.
"Good job, Xiao Yuan! You've worked hard. Here, take some more walnuts and give this kid some brain-boosting supplements when we get back!"
Tang Yue: "...Okay, thank you Grandma Li!"
She reached out and took the walnuts from Grandma Li's hand, but wanted to complain that no matter how many walnuts the boy ate, he still wouldn't get the hang of it.
But despite her complaints, she still wanted to express her gratitude for the kindness shown to her. So she pressed down on Lin Hao, the beneficiary of the walnut, and bowed to him. Lin Hao obediently thanked her in a sincere tone.
"Thank you, Grandma Li."
Grandma Li beamed with joy upon hearing this.
"Oh, you're welcome. This young man is really pitiful."
Tang Yue patted Lin Hao's head and nodded in agreement: "I think so too, Grandma, we really are on the same wavelength."
"Hahahaha, yes, that's right!"
Tang Yue made Grandma Li laugh heartily. Grandma Li's grandson scratched his head, feeling like he had been picked up from a trash can.
Seeing that it was getting late, Tang Yue said goodbye, "Grandma Li, I won't bother you anymore. I still need to go buy some meat."
"Alright, alright, go ahead, come to Grandma's for dinner next time!"
“Okay, Grandma Li.”
Tang Yue smiled and pulled Lin Hao away from Grandma Li's vegetable stall, then ran to Uncle Zhang's butcher shop not far away to buy meat.
Uncle Zhang's shop has all kinds of meat, and most importantly, they're all fresh.
So most of the people who come to buy meat every day are there specifically for his shop.
Tang Yue could see at a glance the long line of people outside his shop.
"Oh dear, Uncle Zhang's butcher shop is as bustling as ever. I wonder if I'll be able to buy any meat today. Sigh."
However, it doesn't matter if she can't buy it, she has it in her space. It's just that buying it on the spot will expose less evidence.
After thinking it through, Tang Yue pulled Lin Hao to stand at the back of the line.
It was still quite sunny outside, and Tang Yue wanted to use a parasol to shield herself from the sun, but with everyone watching, she decided to keep quiet for a while.
Uncle Zhang sold meat very quickly today, and Tang Yue was served very soon. They were lucky today, as he still had quite a bit of meat left.
"Uncle Zhang, I'd like pork belly, pork tenderloin, pork cartilage, pig's trotters, pork ribs, beef ribeye, beef sirloin, beef short ribs... as well as chicken cartilage, chicken wings, two saury and one turbot. That should be about it. Thank you, Uncle Zhang."
Tang Yue kept ordering a string of food, and Uncle Zhang, without showing any panic, cut off a little over a pound of each and put them into the vegetable basket she was carrying.
Tang Yue saw that he had prepared everything perfectly without missing a single detail, and generously gave him a thumbs up.
"Uncle Zhang, it has to be you, you're awesome!"
"Hey, Xiao Yuan, stop teasing me. That's all we're good for, nothing to brag about. Oh, right, didn't you say you wanted to eat some... crayfish or something? Perfect, we have a whole basket of them right here in the kitchen. Wait a minute, I'll go get them for you."
"Huh? Really?" Tang Yue swallowed hard. She had only said it casually, but she didn't expect it to actually be true.
"Of course, would I lie to you?"
Uncle Zhang washed his oily hands, then went to the kitchen and brought out a whole basket of crayfish. Tang Yue's mouth watered at the sight of it.
Good heavens, only heaven knows how long it's been since she last ate crayfish.
Although she had it in her spatial storage, she had never seen this dish on any restaurant in the Great Qi Dynasty during her seven years there. So, she didn't dare to cook it. She was mainly afraid that people would say it was a pest, and that she was an invading foreigner. If they reported her, she would really be in trouble because of what she ate.
Although she wasn't afraid, it was too much trouble and annoying, so she had been holding back from making this delicious dish.
But now, the plump crayfish in front of her were simply dazzling.
She squatted down beside the straw basket containing crayfish, staring at Uncle Zhang with tears welling up in her eyes, and asked with great emotion, "Uncle Zhang, where did you catch these things?"
Now that she knows the location, she'll go and try to catch it whenever she has free time. Even if she can't catch it, she can always take it out from her spatial storage, so she won't be exposed.
Uncle Zhang felt uncomfortable being stared at like that. He scratched his head and said, "Oh, you mean this? I found it in the river to the north. There are a lot of fishermen there. When I went to get fish, I casually asked about it. Later, some fishermen found that this creature looked a lot like the crayfish you mentioned, so they caught it and brought it to me. Coincidentally, you came today, and I remembered this. You see, I've almost killed them all."
