Saturday, early in the morning.

At five o'clock, the sky was already bright.

At the Daqing Road Farmers' Market in Lianyun District, Yunhai City, the crowd was bustling.

There are many kinds of goods in the farmers' market, vegetables, fruits, agricultural products, seafood, river fish and aquatic products, and various categories are bought and sold in different categories.

Most of the people who come to the market to buy things are elderly and middle-aged, carrying large bags and small bags in their hands to buy ingredients for cooking on weekends.

Lin Xiaoxiao's aunt, Liang Yingxia, rode a small electric donkey from her home to the farmers' market early in the morning to buy vegetables, first bought some vegetables and fruits, then went to the meat area to buy pig's trotters and tenderloin, and finally went to the seafood area for a turn.

After purchasing two large bags of things, I took them out of the vegetable market and put them in the back basket of the small electric donkey, and when I was about to go back, I saw a middle-aged woman riding a tricycle in the alley next to the farmers' market to set up a stall, and several large plastic basins were placed on the tricycle.

Seeing someone looking this way, the middle-aged woman shouted: "Come and see, the horseshoe crab that has just been caught is the only one in the whole farmers' market." ”

As soon as the middle-aged woman's stall was settled, and after two shouts, someone immediately surrounded her.

The aunt put down the vegetables in her hand and squeezed into the stall, this horseshoe crab is a good thing, usually not sold, only this kind of itinerant vendors dare to take advantage of the morning when no one is managing to set up a stall.

In two red plastic basins, more than a dozen horseshoe crabs with round heads and pointed tails are crawling, which are alive and fresh.

"Yo, isn't this a horseshoe crab? Now it's strictly checked, but I didn't expect it to be sold. Someone in the crowd asked a question of surprise.

The middle-aged woman was not angry, and said loudly, "This is my own sea, very fresh, now this season to cook horseshoe crab soup is the most nourishing, just a dozen, to buy quickly, slow hands." ”

Auntie reached out and grabbed two, and was almost pierced by the spikes on the tail of the horseshoe crab, "I want these two to be slightly bigger." ”

"Okay, I'll weigh you right away. The middle-aged woman opened the electronic scale with her hands and feet and began to weigh things.

The crowd of onlookers began to pick and choose the horseshoe crabs in the plastic basin and talked about it.

"I've eaten horseshoe crabs before, and they're bigger than this?"

"Now there are fewer and fewer horseshoe crabs, and it's good to be able to catch such a big one. ”

"It's like, I've been wandering around the farmer's market lately, and today I came across a company that sells horseshoe crabs, and the number is still so small. ”

"If you want to buy it, buy it quickly, and if you don't buy a small one, you won't have to. ”

In less than 5 minutes, more than a dozen horseshoe crabs were snapped up.

8 a.m.

Splendid Garden Community, Auntie's home.

When I came back from grocery shopping, I made breakfast, and Xia Yu hadn't gotten up yet.

Xia's mother broke into the bedroom, lifted her son's quilt, and shouted, "Xia Yu, what time is it, and you can't get up when the sun shines on your buttocks?" Yesterday I played until midnight, get up quickly! Call your sister and ask her to come over for dinner at noon, and my mother specially cooked pig's trotter soup and seafood soup for her to replenish her body. ”

Xia Yu was sleeping in a daze, and suddenly felt a chill, his ears hurt, and he was picked up by his mother.

"Mommy...... You tap it, and then you tug at my ear and it falls off. ”

Xia's mother directly folded the quilt, put it in the corner of the bed, and stuffed the mobile phone into her son's hand, urging, "Call now, and your Uncle Fu will also come to the house for dinner at noon today, hurry up and clean up." ”

"Uncle Fu, which Uncle Fu?"

"Just your father's colleague, the police forensic doctor Fu Bo. ”

"Fu Bo, how did he become Uncle Fu? He is only 9 years older than me, and I usually call him brother. Xia Yu held his mobile phone and muttered.

"9 years older is also older, and besides, he and your dad are colleagues, so it's normal for you to call him uncle. Xia's mother was cleaning up the house and urging her son to call quickly.

As soon as he finished pressing the phone number and was about to call, Xia Yu suddenly remembered something and asked Xia's mother, "Mom, since you called my sister to come to the house for dinner, why did you ask Brother Fu Bo to come too?"

Xia's mother looked at her son with eyes full of approval, worthy of being her own, and her head was smart, "Give your sister a blind date." ”

"Blind date?!" Xia Yu was shocked and almost dropped her phone on the ground, "Give my sister a blind date?" But my sister hasn't graduated yet? Besides, Brother Fu Bo is 6 years older than my sister, is it appropriate?"

"Why is it not appropriate? I know that it hurts people, and they are both medical majors, so they must have a common topic. Besides, your sister is not young anymore, your aunt specially called this time to ask you to stay in Yunhai City to work after graduation. If you want to stay, in addition to finding a good job, you must also find a good in-law, you must plan early now, and pick it while you are young, otherwise it will be difficult to find it when you are older. ”

Xia Yu sighed in his heart, worried about his cousin, this cousin has not yet graduated, and he has begun to deal with blind dates, and his mother is also a worrying life, and he is more concerned about his niece than his own son.

"Okay, I'll call my cousin now, do you want her to dress up in advance?"

"Don't tell your sister that today's lunch is a blind date banquet, otherwise I'm worried that she won't come. ”

I was going to remind my cousin, but it seems that there is no play, but my mother's mind is still very meticulous.

After listening to her son's call to his niece, and watching her son enter the bathroom to wash, Xia's mother returned to the kitchen to prepare the lunch meal.

Coming out of the bathroom, Xia Yu smelled the smell of food, not breakfast on the table, but the smell of lunch at noon.

Squeezed into the kitchen, I found that pig's trotter soup was boiling on the stove, and there was a strong smell of meat.

In the pool, my mother is dealing with two behemoths.

The flat head, segmented abdomen, and pointed tail are strangely shaped, and even stranger is the blue blood coming out from the wound cut by a kitchen knife.

"Mom, what are you doing? Why is this thing blue blood?"

"Horseshoe crab, use it to make soup and make a big supplement, I bought it for your sister. ”

"Horseshoe crabs, crabs, why do they look so strange?"

"It's a crab, some people call him husband and wife fish, but the shell is too hard, harder than the crab shell. ”

"Oh, the sea creatures are really strange, I've eaten so many kinds of crabs, and it's the first time I've seen crabs with such strange shapes, have we ever eaten them before?"

"I've eaten it, but it's rarely cooked, and I think it's troublesome to handle, so it's rarely cooked. Didn't your sister break her leg in a car accident before? ”

"This crab has a lot of legs. ”

"The pig's trotter soup is also boiling, so it doesn't hurt to drink more. Don't crowd in the kitchen, hurry up and have breakfast, clean up your own house after breakfast, and your father and uncle Fu should arrive first at noon. ”

"It's Brother Fu Bo, Mom, since you want to introduce Brother Fu Bo to my sister, then we will be peers in the future, and this title will be changed. ”

"Yes, yes, Xiaoyu sometimes thinks more thoughtfully than her mother, and you will be called Brother Fu Bo in the future. ”
