Chapter 202: Mud Lobster
Yun Jiao called her Second Senior Sister and Fourth Senior Brother, and then two large red envelopes were stuffed into her hands.
Her face was then pinched by her Second Senior Sister, whose eyes were shining, but her actions were gentle.
“We finally have a little junior sister, and she’s so young, so beautiful, and so cute.”
So good, so obedient, I want to steal her and raise her myself.
Song Chengyou also nuzzled up to Yun Jiao’s side, grabbed her soft, boneless little hand, and squeezed it.
Hehehehehehe…
“I’m finally not the youngest anymore.”
This little junior sister was truly to his liking!
Old Master Xu couldn’t help but roll his eyes when he saw his two disciples looking so worthless.
“Go take care of your own business.”
Song Chengyou yelped, “Master, we need to get acquainted with our little junior sister.”
Old Master Xu chased them away, then stuffed another red envelope into Yun Jiao’s arms.
“You’re just starting to learn, and with the weather now, it’s inconvenient to walk back and forth from home to the medical hall, so take this 《 Soup Formulae 》 back first, memorize the contents, and then Master will teach you how to identify herbs.”
Yun Jiao took the book and nodded, but she was a little stunned when she opened it.
She looked at Old Master Xu pitifully, “Master, I don’t recognize the characters on it.”
Old Master Xu: …
The inheritance of the Tianyi Sect belongs to a very ancient school, and the books passed down are in older scripts.
For example, the book Old Master Xu gave Yun Jiao at this time was in traditional ancient characters.
Yun Jiao is currently learning simplified characters, and traditional ancient characters are much more complex, so she couldn’t understand them.
Old Master Xu patted his forehead, “I forgot about that. It’s okay, we’ll start by learning traditional ancient characters.”
He asked Song Chengyou to fetch a thick dictionary.
“Use this to learn slowly; those traditional ancient characters all have corresponding simplified characters.”
“When the weather warms up, I’ll teach you calligraphy.”
Old Master Xu taught Yun Jiao how to use the dictionary.
They had a sumptuous lunch at the medical hall before leaving.
Yun Jiao, who was leaving, hugged a pile of things to study, her pretty little face looking distressed.
It made one feel extremely reluctant to see it.
Qin Xin cast a condemning look at her own master.
Song Chengyou became even more vocal, “Master, you’re too harsh! Little junior sister is only three years old, three years old, and you’re making her learn so many things.”
Old Master Xu’s face turned a bit dark, making him seem like a wicked villain.
“Little disciple, take your time, don’t rush. Put the 《 Soup Formulae 》 aside for now, learn to recognize characters first, and then read it when you’re almost there.”
His voice was incredibly gentle.
Song Chengyou beside him glanced at his master, then glanced again.
His playful actions and expressions made Old Master Xu unable to resist patting him on the back of the head.
“What are you doing?!”
Song Chengyou rubbed his head, “I just wanted to see if my master had been possessed by something. Is this still the master who used a stick to force me to study?”
Old Master Xu: “…Get lost!”
“Alright, hehe, little junior sister, I’ll take you to eat delicious food next time you come.”
Yun Jiao nodded, held her father’s hand, and said goodbye to them.
Old Master Xu turned his head and saw his fourth disciple holding several large green crabs and two coconut crabs with their claws out, shoving them in front of him.
“Master, today we’re eating crabs. Little junior sister’s family gave us several green crabs and this coconut crab. Look how big these green crabs are!”
Old Master Xu was also very surprised, and then he sighed, “They are indeed thoughtful.”
On the other side, Grandpa Yun and Yun Linhai had smiles on their faces the entire way, constantly praising her for being promising.
Yun Jiao opened the three red envelopes.
Her master gave a red envelope with five hundred yuan, and her Second Senior Sister and Fourth Senior Brother each gave two hundred yuan!
Yun Jiao’s savings suddenly increased by nine hundred!
Grandpa Yun and Yun Linhai took a look and gasped.
Generous, they were so generous!
Seeing so much money made their hearts tremble.
“Jiaojiao, you’ll have to be very filial to your master from now on.”
Yun Jiao nodded, directly pulled out a few Da Tuan Jie banknotes and handed them to her father and grandfather, exuding the air of a little rich woman.
“Daddy, Grandpa, let’s go buy things, lots of them.”
Yun Linhai: …
He clutched his chest, what was it like to have a three-year-old daughter who was richer than him?
Alas, this was truly heartbreaking（ and proud）.
Yun Jiao waved her little hand and started buying.
Delicious food, such as cake, ci ba balls, candied hawthorn…
Take it all back, bring some back for everyone in the family.
“Daddy, buy this for Mom and Aunt.”
Yun Jiao pointed at the Ya Shuang brand snow cream.
This little bottle cost three yuan.
Yun Linhai scratched his head, “Don’t Mom and Aunt still have some?”
Fu Mingyu had brought some before, and the two women at home were reluctant to use it, instead rubbing some on Yun Jiao’s face from time to time.
Yun Jiao didn’t care, and hugged two bottles, “Lots of it, then Mom and Aunt will be willing to use it.”
The two men who didn’t understand: …
“Also want this.”
Yun Jiao pointed at the clam oil.
In winter, Grandpa, Grandma, and Daddy’s hands would get chapped, and the large cracks on their hands were painful just to look at, yet they still had to work.
“Also want this.”
Lip balm.
Shampoo for washing hair, soap for washing face, and two thermal flasks with large red peony patterns were bought. The thermal flask at home was already very old and not good to use.
Yun Jiao bought a lot of things at once, and the way she spent money so lavishly made the two parents breathe a little faster.
But the young girl was very stubborn and insisted on buying whatever she thought was useful.
When it was time to pay, she pulled out money before her father and grandfather, standing on tiptoe and placing it on the counter.
The cashier looked at Yun Jiao with a strange gaze, as well as the two parents behind her.
No, this child is paying? She has so much money on her?
These parents are not afraid of her losing the money at all.
And buying so many things, it seems this family is not lacking money.
The backpacks brought by Yun Linhai and Old Master Yun were almost full.
Yun Jiao held Yun Linhai’s hand, “Daddy, let’s go buy coal.”
“Ah, I didn’t bring a ticket.”
Yun Jiao’s little mouth immediately turned downwards, and she looked at him with a “how unreliable you are” gaze.
Yun Linhai chuckled sheepishly, “The honeycomb briquettes at home can still be used for a while. We’ll come again in a few days.”
Yun Jiao could only nod.
“Oh right, we still have to go to Dayun Restaurant.”
They still had to find someone to ask about those lobsters.
At Dayun Restaurant, Yun Linhai found the manager who had previously bought things from them and showed him the lobster that looked very much like a scorpion.
“Manager Wang, can you help me see what this thing is? Is it edible?”
This Manager Wang was quite knowledgeable and actually recognized it.
He said incredulously, “Mud lobster? Where did you get this?”
Hearing that he recognized it, Yun Linhai quickly asked how to eat it.
“Remove the vein, and it’s the same as other shrimp, but I remember there’s no such thing in our country.”
Yun Linhai chuckled foolishly, “Who can say for sure? Maybe there are some undiscovered places.”
If not for them, where would it come from?
Manager Wang became interested, “Are you selling these mud lobsters? I’ll buy them for five yuan per jin.”
The reason for such a high price was mainly the rarity of the item. He had truly never seen such a thing in China and might be able to use it as a gimmick to attract customers.
