"Such a big crab, you gave it to him? Su Chong, are you stupid? ”

Everyone thought he was stupid, and gave the big crab he got in his hands to someone else.

Su Chong also felt stupid, but this was San'er's crab, and San'er would give it when he said to give it out.

Other people's families tell the small to listen to the big ones, but the Su family is different. Every time they went out, their mother and grandmother told their brothers to listen to San'er more.

Su Zhong habitually translated San'er's intentions, but this time he sent the big crab out.

Not only did Su Chong regret it, but Su Shan, who helped him, also regretted it. Su Shan, who didn't have a brain to speak, suddenly regretted when he saw Mao Dan leaving.

Big crab! The big crab that San'er caught was taken away like this. Twenty small crabs, how can they compare to one big crab!

Words spoken are like water that has been spilled, and they can never be taken back.

"San'er, how can you give away the big crab?" Su Shan asked her.

She smiled and said nothing, and went back to crab fishing.

Why this unequivalent exchange? It's not for the sake of these guys.

Take people with short hands and eat people with soft mouths. Mao Dan took her big crab, and the hostile attitude will soften a little.

…………

Mao Dan originally thought that there were many crabs in the grass nest on the edge of the pond, but the fishing rod was put down for most of the day, and no crabs were hooked.

The crab fishing skills that he was proud of could not help him in any way, but could not bring him any hope.

Looking at the girl on the side, the speed of crab fishing is as fast as if there is a crab nest underwater, lining up to bite her hook.

It was impossible to fish for crabs, so Mao Dan abandoned the fishing rod and took the fishing basket to dig for crabs.

The ability to look at the hole and find the crab, no one can compare to the hairy egg. He knew at a glance if there were crabs hidden in the mud.

There are enough crabs in the bucket, and the crabs in the aquatic weeds are all attracted, and there are no more. Su Lingyu planned to close the pole.

"Here, twenty crabs." Mao Dan handed over the fish basket.

He lifted his chin proudly and told outsiders that he was a man of integrity.

"Why don't you count?"

I saw Su Lingyu pouring crabs directly into the bucket, and he didn't count them.

She returned the basket to Maodan, threw a handful of grass into the bucket, and covered the water to prevent the crabs from escaping.

"Hey, that's it?" Mao Dan felt that it didn't make sense with the little girl, so she had to call her brothers.

"Su Chong, Su Shan."

Su Chong popped his head out of Tianwa in the distance, and he saw San'er sitting on the back of a donkey. "It's time for Su Shan to go home."

"Su Chong, twenty crabs, I can catch them. She poured it all in, and I couldn't recognize which one I caught. It's for you. ”

"Okay." "Thank you."

For as long as he can remember, no one has said thank you to him. Thank you, hairy eggs are sweeter than honey. That chin was raised even higher.

…………

First of all, the small crabs should be cleaned, one by one, the big crab legs should be kept, and all the small crab legs should be selected.

Then mash the small crab and add salt, red wine lees, sorghum wine, cumin, and Sichuan peppercorns. Sorghum wine can be put more, which is not only conducive to the preservation of crab sauce, but also makes the flavor of the sauce rise suddenly, and can also remove the fishy smell.

There is not much sugar, and so is salt, and in the distressed eyes of my mother, put two large spoons. Spread the mother's relatives and put two more spoonfuls of salt.

Su Zhang, who returned from scooping water, saw that there was less salt, not to mention how painful it was.

Put the prepared crab paste into a clean and waterless clay pot and seal it, and place it under the eaves to ferment for five days.

Su Lingyu wanted to make shrimp paste, but there were not many shrimp here, and the sorghum wine at home was used up, so there was no seasoning she needed.

While waiting, Su Chengqi didn't know where to go, so he dug up the camphor tree and the front door.

"Can you live?"

"Hopefully. If you plant it, you will shade it at home, and if you can't plant it, you will change it. ”

"Yes...... Live. ”

With Su Lingyu in it, nothing is inactive, she tends to the camphor tree every day, watching it take root and sprout, and sprout new leaves.

When eating crab paste, scoop a small plate and sprinkle with some black sesame seeds, which is a very delicious sauce. The black sesame seeds were exchanged by Su Zhang's cheeky people with the people in the village.

Peeled taro, dipped in crab paste, bite into the mouth, the freshness of crab paste and the sweetness of taro starch blend with each other, the kind of deliciousness, that sweetness, will slowly spread in the mouth.

With this sauce alone, you can eat a few taro. This is the rest of Su Zhang's leftovers, a lot of oil for stir-frying.

On weekdays, it is either rice soup taro, or snail meat stew soup with taro, but now there is one more choice, and I eat a meal. Taro is no longer unpalatable.

There was no food at home, rice became a precious thing, and taro became the staple food at home. If it weren't for the high starch of taro and the ability to pad the stomach, this family would have to eat and wear.

The red wine lees were begged from the Li family, and now that the crab sauce is made, they have to share some of it.

The Li family is not used to eating fresh and sweet crab sauce, but they like fresh things and take it with joy.

Su Chengqi and Li Dan discussed, and the two left the village to sell cattle and sheep together, and before leaving, Su Chengqi brought a small jar of crab sauce.

…………

On this day, Su Lingyu, under the shade of the chair tree, the confusion of taking a nap has not yet faded.

A bee flies next to her, and can't drive it away. And see this honey, the wings are thin and soft with the wind, and the waist is light and reflects the Japanese fiber. The mouth is sweet and has been looking for stamen, and the tail is good at descending toads. Honey-making is not shallow.

Buzzing, it was really annoying, Su Lingyu waved his hand in annoyance, and fell asleep on his side.

"Is anyone home?" A call came from afar, "San'er, is your mother at home?" ”

Su Lingyu climbed up the bamboo chair and looked at the person.

This bitter gourd face in gray and black clothes, isn't it Lao Litou?

This old Li Tou is the patron of the cheap father, so he can't be offended.

The mother and the two radish heads went to the field to harvest rice beans, and she had to greet the old Li head.

Su Lingyu got up, rubbed off the bamboo chair, lifted the teapot, and poured a bowl of tea. ran out to greet Lao Li.

It was a very hot day, even if he went out and wore a hat, he was still sweating, and Lao Li Tou drank a bowl of water and felt comfortable. "San'er, are you at home?"

"Milk?"

"It's good to be at home."

Su Lingyu pointed in, and Lao Li Tou went to the house.

"Sister-in-law, is she better?"

Su Li walked out of the door on crutches, "Brother Li is here, come and sit." San'er, there is no tea. ”

"Don't be busy, don't be busy." Lao Li Tou sat down by the door, "I drank a bowl of tea, and it was much more relaxed." It's not made of tea. ”

"There is no tea, some grassroots in the village are brewed. Quench the children's thirst, there are still some at home, wait for you to bring some back. Su Li looked out.

Su Lingyu willed, go pack the sweet grass roots.

"Okay. I won't take anything from you for nothing. "If you have nothing to do, you can't go to the Three Treasures Palace, if his old Li Tou can come here, there must be something.

"The last time Chengqi entered the city, he brought a jar of crab sauce, and some guests from the north liked it very much. I want to ask you if there is anything else. ”

"Yes, yes, but not much. This crab sauce is fresh and sweet, and the children and women in the village like it very much. This one came to ask for something, that one sent a little, and there was not much left. Su Li pointed out the clay pot to him.

Lao Li Tou went over and opened it to see, there were indeed not many left. "In this way, you gave it all to me here, and I will give you an Ejiao pill."

Ejiao is a good thing that can't be bought with money, why is Lao Li so generous?

"The things of the mountains and the earth, the gifts of the earth, are not precious food. Not worth it, not worth it. Su Li said this, but his heart was moved. She secretly looked at San'er and wanted to ask San'er what he meant. It's her crab sauce after all.

When she saw San'er nodding, she was relieved.

"I'll tell you the truth, this guest is very important to me. They came here not only to sell horses, but also to trade in leather goods. Whether the little brother can have a good year depends on this. ”

The northern guests come here and do not adapt to the water and soil, take medicine well, cannot drink water, and cannot eat enough. Seeing that he was about to go back, he was anxious for Lao Li.

I heard a friend say crab sauce, maybe I can help. So he came, and the dead horse was a live horse doctor.

"I saved this ejiao a few years ago, and I have been reluctant to eat it. If it weren't for the friendship in the past, the old boy wouldn't have taken it out. Sister-in-law, you should look at Chengqi's face and help me. ”

Seeing San'er frowning, Su Li reluctantly agreed, "This, okay." ”

"Thank you, thank you."
