Han Xiaomin prepared the meal, beckoned the father and son to vacate the table and set the meal.
Four dishes and one soup, plus a pot of white rice, this is today's lunch. A steamed small yellow croaker, a fried chicken, and two vegetarian dishes, with meat and vegetables, taste good.
Han Xiao was also hungry, picked up the chopsticks and ate two bites first, and suddenly felt warm in her heart. This familiar taste is the taste of home.
After lunch, Han Xiao went upstairs to his room and slept for a while.
Although I haven't been home for more than half a month, the room is clean and spotless, and it is obvious that someone is cleaning it regularly.
Lying on the bed, Han Xiao closed her eyes, and immediately switched perspectives, feeling like she was in the ocean.
After sensing his own situation, Han Xiao couldn't help but "lean" on.
Although less than a day had passed, the baby octopus had grown by another ten centimeters, and its body length seemed to have reached sixty centimeters. The shark carcass has been completely gnawed by the little octopus, which is really not an ordinary eater.
"It seems that eating sharks can really speed up the growth of baby octopuses. Is it because shark meat is rich in more energy? However, it seems that shark meat is difficult to eat, and the nutritional content is also very average. ”
Han Xiao guessed in her heart, she didn't have time to think about it, she directly controlled the little octopus, and let it immediately rush to the beach near Hanjia Village.
As soon as he "woke up", the little octopus had already arrived at Hanjia Village.
Moreover, on the way here, Han Xiao also encountered a piece of abalone, several of which were super large. Anyway, by the way, Han Xiao asked each tentacle of the little octopus to roll up an abalone, a total of eight, and brought it to the beach.
After saying hello to his parents, Han Xiao took a fish basket and strolled out of the house.
At noon, there were not many people wandering around the village, and it was rare to see people on the road, and the bears and children of each family were all pressed to bed and slew, and there were no children making noise everywhere.
Walking slowly to the shore of the village, Han Xiao walked to the vicinity of the chaotic reef where he liked to wander, clapped his hands gently, and then saw the little octopus dragging eight abalone of a small size out of the water, staring at Han Xiao with a pair of small eyes.
Abalone is a seafood gem, a traditional Chinese ingredient that ranks first among the four major seafood dishes. The classification of abalone is based on the number of "heads", and there are 2, 3, 5, 10 and so on in each port, and the smaller the number of "heads", the more precious it is. Because of human fishing, the best wild abalone is becoming more and more rare.
And these abalones, like the little octopus that they are catching now, can be seen just by looking at the shape and size, they are all superb. Two of the largest of them are made into dried abalone, and I am afraid that they can reach the level of one abalone! Abalone of this grade is rare to see at all, and it is very valuable.
After putting the eight abalone into the fish basket one by one, Han Xiao reached out and touched the little octopus's head again, and asked, "How is it?" After eating so much, have the two tentacles you were injured yesterday recovered? ”
The little octopus walked back and forth on the reef as if it was doing some strange dance, and finally danced each tentacle twice in the air, as if to tell Han Xiao that it was okay at all.
Seeing the little octopus like this, Han Xiao laughed, knowing that it should be fine.
One hand stretched out and shook hands with the little octopus. The little octopus also stretched out a tentacle and touched Han Xiao's hand.
Han Xiao smiled and shook it slightly hard, and then felt that his hand seemed to loosen, and when he looked at it, he saw that he had actually ripped off the tentacle of the little octopus.
"Uh...... it? What's going on? Han Xiao was stunned for a moment, looked at the little octopus with a ghostly look, and then looked at the tentacle in his hand that rolled twice.
"You little thing's tentacles...... Is it still detachable? ”
Hurriedly returned the tentacle to the little octopus. Sure enough, the tentacle that was torn off by Han Xiao easily blended into the metal body, as if it hadn't fallen off at all.
"Little thing, your tentacles...... Isn't it really possible to tear it down casually? ”
Han Xiao asked, and the little octopus immediately shook its little head, then raised its two tentacles and swung them twice in the air.
"Huh? You're saying that only these two tentacles can be removed? Han Xiao asked guessily, looked at it carefully, and suddenly understood, "Your two tentacles were both broken by that shark, right?" So, can it be removed? Is it good or bad for you to tear it down? ”
The little octopus immediately shook his head again, protecting the two tentacles.
Obviously, it was telling Han Xiao euphemistically that the tentacle falling off was not a good thing for it.
Han Xiao seemed to talk to the little octopus again, and then waved his hand at the little octopus, allowing the little octopus to return to the sea.
As for Han Xiao, he carried the fish basket on his back and walked towards the village.
Ten abalones weigh almost twenty pounds. Walking on the road, Han Xiao remembered that his grandfather liked to eat this kind of sea treasure, so he simply took a detour towards the ancestral house.
According to the rules of the Han family, the ancestral house must be guarded. And the one who guards the ancestral house is the oldest person in the entire Han family.
Han Xiao's grandfather Han Jingde, a slightly genteel name. This year is ninety-nine years old, only one year old and more than 100 years old, not only the oldest person in the Han family, but also the oldest person in the entire Qiongya City.
Although Han Jingde has the name of a literati, he is quite fierce in his actions, although he is now old, but his temper is up, and he still wants to fight and kill. And Han Jingde's life experience is even more extraordinary.
Han Jingde has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he had already practiced the family heirloom Bagua palm to the peak of Ming Jin. Because the country is weak and bullied, nearby fishermen are often intercepted and killed by foreign pirates, a Han family member was killed, Han Jingde rode a small windsurf board into the sea alone, forcibly killed dozens of pirates, and only came back after avenging his family. Then, Han Jingde's ferocity gradually rose, and he actually entangled a group of fishermen, and specially began to intercept and kill all kinds of pirates, and later even the bald Jiang heard about Han Jingde's prestige and wanted to subdue his subordinates.
Later, when the Japanese invaded China, Han Jingde was just in his early twenties, and joined the War of Resistance with a group of brothers in life and death, holding a golden dragon double.
At the end of the eight-year Anti-Japanese War, Han Jingde did not know how much he had worked hard, and he was an official major general, and his subordinates were innumerable. However, after driving away the Japanese and the outbreak of the civil war in China, Han Jingde didn't want to get involved, so he left down the sentence "My own people fight my own people, play a ball", disarmed and returned to the field, and returned to Hanjia Village, and continued to kill the pirates with a group of die-hard loyalists, and the many pirates who finally killed were shocked, leaving the name of "Shenlong into the Sea".
It wasn't until the pirates were almost killed that he became a seemingly loyal and honest old fisherman again.
Of course, this is only scratching the surface. Those who are a little older in the Han family almost all know how ruthless Han Jingde is. When Han Jingde was young, there were not a thousand people who died directly under his hands, but eight hundred!
This is a truly brave old man.
Today, although Han Jingde is ninety-nine years old, he does not look old at all, and he walks like the wind, as if he is in the prime of life. Eating two catties of meat at a meal is not a problem at all.
Walking slowly to the ancestral house of the Han family, Han Xiao pushed open the door and shouted directly: "Grandpa, I'm Xiaoxiao, I'm back!" ”
"Hear me! Heard it! ”
Footsteps sounded, like thunder, and an old man who seemed to be in his sixties stepped out of the side room.
The old man is about 1.7 meters tall, wearing an ordinary horse coat on his upper body, a pair of loose practice pants on his lower body, straw sandals under his feet, and a childish face.
"Xiaoxiao is back? Come, come, come, let grandpa and I see. ”
This old man is Han Xiao's grandfather's, Han Jingde.
With a "snap", Han Jingde's slightly old palm slapped on Han Xiao's shoulder, which immediately made Han Xiao bare his teeth-
Han Jingde is now ninety-nine years old, but he looks like he is only sixty years old, and his appearance is not old, it is entirely because of his martial arts practice. If you talk about it according to the realm, Han Jingde's strength has reached the peak of dark energy in his early years, and later because of his age, his qi and blood have declined, although he has not been able to go further, but it is not a problem to prolong his life.
And now that Han Jingde's slap has fallen, Han Xiao, who has practiced a skilled frame, can't hold it at all.
"Grandpa, don't try so hard, okay? What if you break your shoulder? Han Xiao hissed and gasped for cold air in his mouth.
Han Jingde glanced at Han Xiao in a little surprise and said, "Little Turtle Sun, I haven't seen you for a while, but my kung fu has grown a little!" Well? Han Jingde sniffed, and then his eyes fell on the fish basket behind Han Xiao:
"This taste...... Is it wild abalone? What a little turtle grandson, where did you get these abalones? Look at this head, it's not common now! ”
Han Xiao only felt that there seemed to be wind behind him, and the fish basket had already fallen on Han Jingde's hand, staring at the abalone inside in amazement.
Han Xiao touched his chin and said, "I was lucky today, I caught a few abalone on the beach." I know that grandpa you love to eat, so I sent it to you. ”
"Caught by the sea?"
Han Jingde is an old man, and he knows that Han Xiao doesn't want to say it, so he laughed and said, "These abalone are not small, I heard that this thing is quite old now." Grandpa, I'll pick two, and you can give the rest to the daughter-in-law of the Wanshun family, and let her concoct it. ”
"Hmm."
Han Xiao nodded, Han Jingde had already picked out two abalone from the fish basket, one was the largest and the other was the smallest.
The rest, he soaked the fish basket into the large water tank in the shade of the yard.
"Tonight, there is fresh abalone to eat! This kind of sea treasure is rare now. It's a blessing to be able to eat more. ”
"If Grandpa wants to eat, just take these with you. These abalones are not difficult to catch. Han Xiao smiled, suddenly not caring.
Small octopuses swim in the sea, and there are not only schools of abalone found, but others. Finding wild abalone seems to be a simple task.
