148.
After the three-day return ceremony, the Tian family was completely idle, and everyone discussed when to go back, after all, this is not their home.
According to Jiang Wanbai's meaning, they finally came to such a trip, of course, they had to take a good stroll and see the scenery by the sea.
But after Tian Lao Er really took them around, he found that there was nothing to visit in this small Yancheng. On the first day, I was very excited to see the sea, but on the second day, it was not so novel, and on the third day, I felt that I didn't want to see it.
Especially Tian Laosan, he is still worried that the wheat at home is about to ripen, so he has to go back quickly, don't let others spoil it, otherwise the hard work of more than half a year will be in vain.
Tian Chengyun was worried about the orchids he raised, and although he had already handed them over to his neighbors to take care of, he was not at ease.
There is also Tian Liu, who only took a month's leave and wanted to go back to work quickly.
For Tian Liu, Jiang Wan Bai Jian yƬ she didn't want to go to work. In the past, the family conditions were not good, and she needed to work to earn money, but now, although the family is not rich and expensive, it also has small assets, and she can rest at home.
But Tian Liu didn't want to, she had her own ideas.
The Zhang family had mentioned her family affairs to her more than once, but the people mentioned were either Zhang San from the next village or Li Si from another village, she was used to seeing those rich and powerful people in the Hou Ye's mansion, how could she look at these country men who had never even entered the city a few times.
Especially after Tian Miao brought Ling Changwei back this time, she felt that she couldn't marry casually at home, so she insisted on going back.
There is also Tian Chengyu, and his studies cannot be delayed.
As a result, these people in the Tian family couldn't do it anymore, and they all told Jiang Wanbai that they wanted to go back.
Jiang Wanbai didn't stop them, flipped through the calendar, and she said: "Tomorrow is sixteen, when the tide falls, let's go to the sea together."
Let's have a reunion dinner together, and you will leave the day after tomorrow. Otherwise, I don't know when we will be able to eat together again. ā
With a definite date, everyone is not so worried and agrees to come down.
"Milk, what do you mean by catching the sea?" Tian Chengan has gained a lot of weight recently, and his tiger head is abnormal. At this time, he was holding Jiang Wanbai's thighs and asked with a small face.
"Catch the sea, that is, every month at a certain time, the tide will quickly recede. The small crabs, small fish, starfish, oysters and other things in the sea that have not had time to swim away will be left on the beach.
At this point, you just have to go to the beach and pick it up. Jiang Wanbai said.
"Crab, starfish?" Tian Chengan's face was full of interest.
"Yes, it is said that whoever can pick up a red starfish will be lucky."
"I want a red starfish, I want a red starfish."
"Okay, we'll pick it up tomorrow." Jiang Wanbai rubbed Tian Chengan's soft hair and smiled.
Other people listened to the conversation between Jiang Wanbai and Tian Chengan, and they were also full of curiosity about tomorrow's sea.
When the sun rose the next day, the Tian family had already prepared the utensils for catching the sea, such as wooden barrels, fish baskets, small shovels, etc......
Ah Cai is a local, and her family is a fisherman, so she knows a few secret places to catch the sea, there are few people, and there are many harvests, so she took the Tian family to one of the closer places.
This place is indeed relatively secluded, and you have to turn around a few large reefs to see it.
The beach full of fine sand is dotted with small fish, conch and whatever, and there is no one around, it is indeed a good place.
"Ah......" Tian Chengan immediately trotted there, lowered his head and began to pick up things.
Although Tian Chengyu and the others were not as obvious as him, their cheerful steps also showed their mood.
The Tian family dispersed and began to look on the reef and the beach.
"There's a little octopus here."
"I picked up a crab."
"What is this, milk?"
"This one, this is a sea urchin, which can be steamed and eaten."
"Is it delicious?"
"Of course it's delicious."
"I'm going to find more sea urchins."
ā¦ā¦
The beach was full of laughter and laughter, and everyone enjoyed the joy of harvest.
Jiang Wanbai didn't grab the seafood that could be seen on the surface with them, but squatted on the beach with a small shovel to dig razor clams.
The razor clams are also called Shih Tzu tongue, the shape is long, oval, the color is yellow and white, the meat is very delicious, and elastic, it has the reputation of "ginseng in the sea", Jiang Wanbai likes to eat it the most.
Digging razor clams is said to be digging, but in fact, they are shoveling sand on the beach, and if they see a small hole, they use salted chopsticks to poke into the small hole, and the clams hidden in it will come out on their own.
At this point, all you have to do is reach out and grab it and put it in the keg. Speaking of which, it's still a battle of wits and courage, and it's a lot of fun.
Jiang Wanbai followed her own method, and within a few minutes, she caught seven or eight razor clams, and she was very happy.
"Milk, you use table salt here...... Ah Cai noticed Jiang Wanbai's behavior, and she was a little speechless.
"Huh? What's wrong. Jiang Wanbai stopped what she was doing and looked up and asked.
"This, although Yancheng produces salt, the imperial court controls it very strictly, so the salt in everyone's hands still has to be purchased from the shops designated by the government. The price of these salts is not much cheaper than in other places.
On the contrary, this razor ......" Ah Cai did not continue, but Jiang Wanbai already understood. She was saying that she was wasting, and she felt like she was exchanging gold for loess.
Fortunately, there is only one of them here, otherwise, Jiang Wanbai's behavior will definitely be regarded as a joke.
Jiang Wan put down the chopsticks in her hand in vain and said with a smile: "Is it just playing!" ā
Ah Cai was afraid that Jiang Wanbai would be angry, so she quickly picked up the shovel next to her and dug up the sand, "Grandma wants to eat razor clams, I'll help you dig them." ā
She is indeed a good hand, and the sand she digs is neat and flat. Moreover, she was also very experienced and knew that there were razor clams in that piece of sand. Usually when a shovel goes down, there will be several razor clams, and Jiang Wanbai is very empty-hearted
She also claimed to be a person who grew up by the sea, and she was not worthy of this little girl.
"I'm going to scrape oysters on the reef over there." Jiang Wanbai took her small shovel and walked to the side of the reef as if she had fled.
On the dark green reef, the gray-white oysters are very obvious, and because no one catches them, these oysters are very fat. Each one is the size of a child's palm, and there are even some super giants, which are very pleasing to look at.
Can't wait, Jiang Wanbai took a small shovel to shovel those oysters. One, two, three, she shovels with pleasure.
After shoveling a reef, she was just about to walk away, when suddenly her mind flashed, and she quickly moved back and stared at a round bulge on the reef.
This is, Jiang Wanbai wanted to reach out and touch that thing to see if it was the one she thought. But halfway through, it suddenly occurred to her that this thing must not be touched with her hands, otherwise it would stick to the reef, and it would not be able to be removed unless its shell was broken.
Holding a small shovel, he gently scraped the junction between the bulge and the reef, and the thing fell into Jiang Wanbai's hand.
Oval in shape, with pink and white meat inside, like an ear, it is an abalone known as the "ear of the sea".
Actually being able to pick up such a big abalone, Jiang Wanbai was immediately encouraged, and continued to walk to the next reef with a shovel.
The harvest time is wonderful, the Tian family is laughing and making noise, and before they know it, the sun has risen very high, shining on the entire beach.
The Tian family was also a farmer facing the loess with their backs to the sky, so they didn't care about this bit of sunshine at all, except for one person.
Tian Liu covered his face with his hands, for fear that he would be tanned. In the Hou Mansion, those maids pay attention to their faces, although they can't use pearl powder to beautify their faces every day like the master, but they also often use some petals and other dresses on their faces.
Tian Liu is most proud of her white face, and she can be praised by others every time, if she is tanned, she has no place to cry.
Seeing that there was no shady place to hide around, and the sun was getting stronger, she wanted to go home. But the Tian family is busy and will definitely not go back with her.
After thinking about it, it was not far from her home, and she knew the way, so she wanted to go back first.
Walking up to Zhang, she said her thoughts.
"Is there something uncomfortable?" Zhang asked with concern.
Tian Liu shook his head, "It's not uncomfortable, it's just that the sun is too big, and the face of the tan hurts." ā
Zhang Shi looked at Tian Liu's face, which was whiter and tenderer than a petal, and understood a little, "Then you go back first." ā
"Hmm." Tian Liu agreed.
As soon as he took two steps, Zhang caught up again, "I'm still not at ease, let your father send you back." ā
"Mother, I'm not a child anymore. It's only half a mile from here, so what can happen. Tian Liu said angrily.
Zhang thought about it too, so he let her go.
Tian Liu took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, put it on his head, and began to walk quickly home.
In ten minutes, she arrived at the back door of Tian's house. Seeing the two closed wooden doors from a distance, Tian Liu was a little worried, wondering if her fourth uncle would open the door for her if he was not at home.
Today, I went to catch the sea, and the Tian family went, but only Widow Lu was pregnant, and she stayed at home because she thought the sun was too big. She stayed, and Tian Laosi naturally followed, so the Tian family is now at home with the two of them.
I wanted to go around to the front door, but when I thought of going around a long street, and the sun was so shining, Tian Liu was scared first. Thinking of trying her luck first, she came to the back door.
Just as she was about to reach out and push the back door, she heard a voice from inside.
"Cuirong, you're climbing a high branch now, aren't you?" The laughter of a strange man.
"Quiet up, he'll be in the front yard." The voice of the widow of Lu.
"A little bit? I just want him to come out and have a look. Also decoction of medicine, decoction of what medicine? Give my son a tocolytic. He's pretty good. The man said arrogantly.
