A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 202 Mud Lobster

Yun Jiao called out to her second senior sister and fourth senior brother, and then two large red envelopes were stuffed into her hands.

The second senior sister's eyes lit up as she gently pinched his face.

"We finally have a junior sister, and she's so young, so pretty and cute."

So cute, so cute, I want to steal it and raise it myself.

Song Chengyou also sidled up to Yun Jiao and grabbed her soft, boneless little hand to squeeze it.

Hehehehehe...

"I'm not the youngest anymore."

This junior sister has truly captured his heart!

Old Xu couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw his two apprentices looking at him like he was worthless.

"Go about your business."

Song Chengyou exclaimed, "Master, we should get to know our junior sister better!"

Old Xu chased the two away and then stuffed a red envelope into Yun Jiao's arms.

“You’ve just started learning. It’s inconvenient to go back and forth between home and the clinic in this weather. So take this book, ‘The Formulas of Herbal Remedies,’ back with you and memorize the contents first. Then your master will teach you how to identify herbs.”

Yun Jiao took the book and nodded, but when she opened it, she was a little dumbfounded.

She looked at Master Xu pitifully and said, "Master, I don't recognize the words on it."

Mr. Xu: …………

The Tianyi Sect's lineage belongs to a very ancient school, and the books that have been passed down are written in relatively ancient scripts.

For example, the book that Mr. Xu gave to Yun Jiao at this time was written in traditional Chinese characters.

Yun Jiao is currently learning simplified Chinese characters; traditional ancient Chinese characters are much more complex, so she can't understand them.

Old Xu patted his forehead: "I forgot about that. It's okay, let's start by learning traditional Chinese characters."

He asked Song Chengyou to fetch a thick dictionary.

"Learn slowly by looking at this; those traditional ancient characters all have corresponding simplified characters."

"When the weather gets warmer, I'll teach you calligraphy."

Mr. Xu taught Yun Jiao how to use a dictionary.

They ate a hearty lunch at the clinic before leaving.

Yun Jiao left, clutching a pile of things to study, her pretty little face looking miserable.

It was so heartbreaking to watch.

Qin Xin gave her master a reproachful look.

Song Chengyou started chattering: "Master, you're too cruel! Junior Sister is only three years old. You're making her learn so much at just three years old."

Old Xu's face darkened, making him look like a vicious villain.

"Little apprentice, take your time and don't rush. Put the 'Tangtou Gejue' aside for now. First, learn to recognize the characters. You can look at it again when you've learned enough."

His voice was incredibly gentle.

Song Chengyou glanced at his master, then glanced at him again.

His funny actions and expressions made Old Xu unable to resist slapping him on the back of the head.

"What are you doing?!"

Song Chengyou covered his head: "I just wanted to see if my master had been possessed by something. Is this still the same master who forced me to study with a stick?"

Old Xu: "...Get out!"

"Okay, hehe, next time you come, I'll take you to eat something delicious."

Yun Jiao nodded, took her father's hand, and said goodbye to them.

Old Xu turned his head and saw his fourth apprentices carrying several large blue crabs and two menacing coconut crabs, pushing them towards him.

"Master, we're having crab today! My junior sister's family sent us several blue crabs and this coconut crab. Look how big these blue crabs are!"

Old Xu was also very surprised when he saw it, and then said with emotion, "They really put their heart into it."

On the other side, Yun Aye and Yun Linhai's smiles never faded the whole way, and they kept praising her for being so promising.

Yun Jiao opened the three red envelopes.

Master gave a red envelope containing 500 yuan, and the second senior sister and the fourth senior brother each gave 200 yuan!
Yun Jiao's savings suddenly increased by nine hundred!

Grandpa Yun and Yun Linhai both gasped when they saw it.

That's incredibly generous!
The sight of so much money made their hearts tremble. "Jiaojiao, you'd better take good care of your master from now on."

Yun Jiao nodded, then pulled out a few ten-yuan bills and handed them to her father and grandfather, displaying the air of a wealthy young woman.

"Father, Grandpa, let's go buy lots of things."

Yunlinhai:…………

He clutched his chest, wondering what it was like to have a three-year-old daughter who was richer than him.
Oh, this is so heartbreaking (and proud).

Yun Jiao waved her hand and bought it.

Delicious treats, like meat patties, glutinous rice cakes, and candied hawthorn skewers...

Take them all back with you, and bring some back to your family.

"Father, this is for Mother and Aunt."

Yun Jiao pointed to the Ya Shuang brand snow cream.

This little bottle costs three yuan.

Yun Linhai scratched his head: "Don't your mother and aunt still exist?"

The two women in the family were reluctant to use the medicine that Fu Mingyu had brought before, but instead would occasionally rub some on Yun Jiao's face.

Yun Jiao ignored them and hugged the two bottles, saying, "There's plenty of it, so my mother and aunt will be willing to use it."

Two clueless men:…………

"I want this too."

Yun Jiao pointed to the clam oil.

In winter, my grandparents and father would get chapped hands. The big cuts on their hands were painful to look at, but they still had to work.

"I want this too."

Lip balm.

I bought shampoo, face soap, and two thermos flasks with big red peony patterns, because the old thermos flask at home is too old and doesn't work well anymore.

Yun Jiao bought a lot of things at once, and her extravagant spending made the two parents breathe a little faster.

But the little girl was very stubborn; she insisted on buying anything she thought was useful.

When it was time to pay, she took out the money before her father and grandfather, and placed it on the counter on tiptoe.

The waiter looked at Yun Jiao and the two parents behind her with strange eyes.

Wait, is this child paying the bill? She carries so much money?
This parent really isn't afraid that she'll lose the money.

They bought so many things; it seems this family is quite well-off.

The baskets brought by Yun Linhai and Grandpa Yun were almost full.

Yun Jiao took Yun Linhai's hand and said, "Father, let's go buy coal."

"Oh, I didn't bring my ticket."

Yun Jiao immediately pouted and looked at him with a "how can you be so unreliable" look.

Yun Linhai chuckled sheepishly, "The honeycomb briquettes at home can still last for a while, let's come back in some time."

Yun Jiao could only nod.

"Oh right, we also need to go to the Universiade Restaurant."

I'll have to ask someone about that shrimp.

At Dayun Restaurant, Yun Linhai found the manager who had previously bought things from them and showed him the lobster that looked a lot like a scorpion.

"Manager Wang, could you help me identify this? Is it edible?"

Manager Wang is quite knowledgeable; he actually recognized it.

He was somewhat incredulous: "Mud lobsters? Where did you get these?"

Upon hearing that he recognized it, Yun Linhai immediately asked how to eat it.

"Just remove the shrimp vein and eat it like any other shrimp. But I don't remember we have this in our country."

Yun Linhai chuckled, "Who can say for sure? Maybe they're in some undiscovered places."

Where would these things come from without them?

Manager Wang became interested: "Will you sell these mud lobsters? I'll buy them for five yuan a pound."

The reason for such a high price is mainly due to its rarity; he had never actually seen this item in China before, and perhaps he could use it as a gimmick to attract customers.
