Chapter 2247

Su Xinghui said, "Rely on the mountains to eat from the mountains, rely on the water to eat from the water. Since we are by the side of such a large lake as Yanglan Lake, we must of course make full use of the resources of Yanglan Lake to create wealth for us."

Nie Xin said, "County Magistrate, you mentioned hairy crabs. It just so happens that a rural relative of mine sent me a few jin of crabs today. Why don't you come to my house to eat crabs and drink some wine."

After speaking, Nie Xin looked at Su Xinghui with some trepidation. Today, he came to report his work to Su Xinghui, and he originally wanted to invite Su Xinghui to his home for a drink. The crabs were not sent by his relatives; he specially went to the lake area to buy them back, and they were the best hairy crabs.

However, he was not sure in his heart whether Su Xinghui would go. That time when the province investigated Su Xinghui, he intentionally alienated Su Xinghui, and he always had a knot in his heart. He was afraid that Su Xinghui also had such a knot in his heart.

He had been hesitating and did not dare to issue an invitation. It was not until now, when Su Xinghui mentioned crabs, that he took this opportunity to issue an invitation.

Su Xinghui naturally saw Nie Xin's trepidation. He smiled slightly and nodded, "Fine, since there are crabs, then of course I will go."

Nie Xin was overjoyed. He smiled and said, "County Magistrate, then just come directly to my house after work. Let Section Chief Lu also go together. Today's hairy crabs are all the best kind, each weighing three liang, all female, and very full. They are all alive and kicking now. When you arrive, we will steam them on the fire immediately, very fresh."

Su Xinghui smiled and nodded, "Fine, we will definitely arrive after work."

After work, Su Xinghui made an appointment with Lu Xiaoya and went to Nie Xin's house together. Nie Xin's house was in another standing committee building, not far from Su Xinghui's house.

This was the first time Su Xinghui had been to Nie Xin's house for a meal. Nie Xin had made careful preparations. In addition to a few jin of crabs, there were also lake delicacies such as perch, mandarin fish, and icefish from Yanglan Lake, as well as local pork and local eggs from the countryside.

The perch was steamed, the mandarin fish was braised in brown sauce, the icefish was steamed with local eggs, and a large bowl of local pork was braised in brown sauce, fragrant and delicious, plus a few fresh seasonal vegetables. A table of sumptuous delicacies made people drool.

And the highlight was of course those few jin of crabs. When Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya arrived at Nie Xin's house, Nie Xin's wife, Zhang Ping, had just washed the crabs clean. Nie Xin specially let Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya see the crabs. Sure enough, these crabs were very large, each weighing at least three liang, and they were all female crabs.

The price of these female crabs was much higher than that of male crabs. And generally speaking, those who sold crabs would not sell only female crabs; they would sell them in a mix of male and female, otherwise, it would be difficult to sell if only male crabs were left. It was not an easy thing for Nie Xin to be able to buy all female crabs.

These crabs were very strong and full, and very lively. Nie Xin casually took one and put it on the glass tabletop of his dining table. That crab could crawl quickly, and its claws were very large, with golden fluff on the claws, and the back shell was green, shining with that kind of healthy luster. At a glance, it was a top-grade hairy crab.

After seeing the crabs, Zhang Ping took the crabs to the steamer, covered the lid, and put them on the gas stove to steam. She asked Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya to go to the table to eat dishes first, and the crabs would be served soon.

Nie Xin poured a glass of wine for Su Xinghui and opened a drink for Lu Xiaoya. He raised his glass and said, "County Magistrate, come, I will toast you, thank you for your help over the past year."

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Comrade Nie Xin, don't be polite, this is what I should do."

The two drank a glass of wine, and Nie Xin said, "County Magistrate, Section Chief Lu, eat the dishes, there are no good dishes, don't be polite."

Su Xinghui said, "Don't be polite, there are so many dishes."

Su Xinghui ate a chopstick of steamed perch and nodded, "Well, Sister-in-law's craftsmanship is very good."

Lu Xiaoya also nodded and said, "Well, Sister-in-law's dishes are much better than what I make. I have to learn more from Sister-in-law."

While talking, Zhang Ping brought over a steaming pot of crabs. She put the crabs on the table and smiled, "County Magistrate Su, Section Chief Lu, you are too polite. I am just a home-cooked craft. How dare I say the craft is good? As long as you don't dislike it, I will be very happy."

Nie Xin pointed to the crabs and said, "County Magistrate, Section Chief Lu, eat quickly while it's hot. These crabs are really quite good."

Su Xinghui took a crab for Lu Xiaoya, and he also took one himself and began to peel the shell.

The autumn wind blows, the crab roe is fat. In this season, it is the best time to eat crabs. When this female crab is peeled open, you can see a full shell of crab roe, golden and golden, which makes people drool when they see it.

Zhang Ping brought a few small dishes of seasoning and put them in front of them, saying, "Dip in the seasoning and eat."

This seasoning was very simple, a little vinegar, a little light soy sauce, and of course, the most important thing was the finely chopped ginger shreds. This thing was to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor, and it was a must-have for eating crabs.

Su Xinghui dipped in the seasoning, ate a mouthful of crab roe, and nodded, "These crabs are indeed good."

Nie Xin smiled and said, "If it's good, eat a few more. There is enough today."

There were four of them in total, and this pot of crabs had nearly twenty, which was indeed enough.

Su Xinghui said, "Even if it's delicious, you can't eat too much. Crabs are cold in nature. Eating too much is not good for the stomach. You still have to stop when it's enough."

Nie Xin nodded and said, "Yes, everything is too much, you have to stop when it's enough. The County Magistrate's words are very philosophical!"

Although Su Xinghui said to stop when it's enough, such delicious crabs made his index finger move, and he soon ate a crab clean.

Nie Xin said, "The County Magistrate knows how to eat crabs very well. He eats them without any waste and is still so complete."

Su Xinghui's way of eating was indeed not wasteful, and the peeled shells could still be completely arranged into the appearance of a crab.

Su Xinghui said, "Our Shangjun County also produces crabs. There are many lakes there, but there is no such large lake as Yanglan Lake. The crabs there are also very delicious. We eat crabs every autumn, so my technique for eating crabs is quite good."

Nie Xin said, "Then Shangjun County is also a treasure land."

Su Xinghui said, "Yes, in fact, the geographical conditions of Chongjin County and Shangjun County are very similar. The area of Chongjin County is much larger than that of Shangjun County, and it is surrounded by rivers and lakes. In terms of conditions alone, the conditions of Chongjin County are better than those of Shangjun County. Therefore, Shangjun County can develop, and there is no reason why Chongjin County cannot develop."

Nie Xin took another crab for Su Xinghui and nodded, "With County Magistrate Su in our Chongjin County, I believe Chongjin County will definitely be able to develop."

Su Xinghui said, "The development of a county is not my own business. Only when everyone works together can Chongjin County develop."

Nie Xin said, "There is no doubt about this. In the future, wherever you point, I will fight. Come, I will toast you!"

Zhang Ping also picked up the wine glass in front of her and said, "County Magistrate, I will also toast you with Nie Xin, thank you for your care for him."

Su Xinghui smiled and picked up the wine glass and said, "Fine, let's have a drink together, and let's develop Chongjin County well together in the future!" ===== CHAPTER 2249 =====
