Chapter 2: A plate of spicy crab

After school, the sun is no longer so poisonous, Huang Dou followed his uncle, and the third brother, the fourth brother, the fifth brother and the sixth brother who went to school, went to the village stream to touch the fish.

There is a hillside at the west end of the village and a winding stream, which flows out of the mountain stream, the water is clear and can see the bottom, there are trees on both sides, and the water and grass are not luxuriant, just not far from the soybean and they cut mica grass.

In the distance is Nanshan, the mountain is not high but the forest is dense, and the adults will tell the children not to approach.

Legend has it that there are wild beasts, but they are also deep in the mountains, and the periphery of the mountain is basically developed, and there are wild beasts that will not come down.

Most of the villages near Nanshan depend on farming for their livelihood. These people, as long as they have land, do not encounter disaster years, the whole family has no problem with food and clothing, and those who are active can also go to the town to work on the dock to earn some extra money.

There are also hunters in the nearby villages, who live in mountain nests, with many stones and trees, and no land, so they can only live by hunting, these people are relatively poor, after all, hunting is a dangerous thing, and it is not cheap to buy food.

Near Nanshan Town, the water is open, close to the mountains and near the water, and there are fishermen. These people, when they are busy farming, go to the fields to farm, and when they are idle to fish for a living, their economy is better than that of ordinary people.

When I arrived at the edge of the stream, the water was clear to the bottom, and the shade of the trees on the bank sheltered the stream, which was indescribably cool.

The older children were quite reserved, took off their coats, put on shorts and went into the water. The smaller ones, those under the age of seven or eight directly stripped off, and went into the water with the little finches.

A group of children, there is no one who is not dark, seeing the sky sunning in the sun, black and shiny.

Huang Dou has followed the uncle since he could walk, and he is used to seeing the black buttocks of this group of little children in the village, so it is not surprising. Anyway, I haven't grown up, I look pretty much the same, and I don't have spicy eyes at all.

Five or six-year-old girls can also help the family do something, such as watching chickens and dogs.

Huang Dou was unwilling to watch the yard at home, nor was he willing to fight dogs and chickens, and he was even more unwilling to follow his second sister Huang Tao to pull weeds and insects in the vegetable garden, so he followed his uncle all day long.

It's good to follow the uncle, you can spread wild everywhere, and where the boys in the village can go, there is no soybean that can't go.

Sometimes Huang Delei is unhappy, why does my sister like to follow my uncle and not follow me.

Huang Dou could only say silently in his heart, brother, I'm sorry, my uncle has thick legs!

The boys threw themselves into the water, and the soybeans stood on their tiptoes to reach for reed sticks at the water's edge. The reed stick is a bit like a modern grilled sausage, a stick is skewered with a grilled sausage, and the soybeans are enough for three, and they are not broken, but they are just like them, and they can't be eaten.

It hurt so much when it hit someone, so I threw it away, and turned around and picked up stones by the stream to find crabs.

There are often small crabs in the cracks of the stones by the stream, and as soon as they open them, they panic and climb to the stream. Soybeans lifted two stones, caught three small crabs, and there was nowhere to put them! When I turned my head, I saw the pants that my uncle had taken off, so I hurriedly ran over and knotted the two trouser legs, and the little crab was thrown in from the waistband of my trousers, just right!

There are not many little girls in the village who come out to play, only Huang Xiaoyu, the sister of Huang Dou and Huang Da Niu. Huang Xiaoyu, who is also five years old, saw Soybeans lifting stones looking for crabs, and also came to help.

The water by the stream was clear and the grass was dense, and Huang Guigui shouted when he saw the soybeans walking away: "Soybeans, don't run around, be careful of snakes in the grass." ”

Huang Dou was afraid of snakes and didn't dare to go into the grass, so he walked barefoot, hand in hand with Huang Xiaoyu, along the stream, with his uncle's pants on his shoulders.

There are a lot of crabs under the stones, and basically when you lift a piece, you will run out one or two small crabs in a panic, which are not big, but they can already scare people with their teeth and claws.

The country boy is bold, presses the crab shell from behind with his hand, grabs it with two fingers, picks it up and throws it into his trouser leg, and continues to look for it.

The two little girls turned over the stones by the stream, and by the time the sun set and dusk, the uncle's two trouser legs were already full of crabs.

The boys all came up and dressed and went home, and everyone caught fish, but they were different in size. In the countryside, these palm-sized small fish are rare, with more spines and less meat and waste oil. Generally, if you catch less, you will feed the cat, and no one wants to cook it.

The Huang family has a snack goods, Xiao Huangdou taught her sister to boil small fish and paste cakes, and she has made it many times, and there is nothing the family doesn't like. A pot of small miscellaneous fish, a few pieces of live flour cakes, and a pot of cornmeal porridge, although it is not a delicacy in the world, it can be regarded as a small day!

The four little brothers of the Huang family, plus the uncle, caught seven or eight fish that were longer than a palm, skewered them with thatch, and carried them for the uncle. A few people next to him caught less, and they were impatient to take them home, and they threw a lot when they went home, and they all gave Huang Guigui, and they could make up a big pot.

Huang Dou shouted: "Uncle, uncle, come here, help me take the crab home, and I will make you spicy crab to eat at night." The old man came over and took his pants and hung them around his neck.

Huang Guigui likes to go to Soybean's house to eat, he has a slingshot, which is made with the help of Soybeans, and he is very accurate.

The village next door killed an old cow that was dying, Huang Guigui listened to Huang Dou's words, and the two of them sneaked around the scene, picked up a few small pieces of unwanted waste cowhide and came back to rub and rub, and made a slingshot, although the elasticity is not strong, it is much better than before.

Huang Guigui shot the birds, and took the soybeans to the house, and the soybeans would let the yellow peach make fried finches for him, put the seasoning, wrap it in flour, and fry it to spray fragrant.

Huang Dou commanded, Huang Tao did it, Huang Delei lit the fire, Huang Guigui was waiting to eat next to him, he felt that his uncle was particularly stylish.

Every time you eat, you can lick your fingers clean.

Under the command of the uncle, the four brothers of Huang Delei carried the mica grass cut by the soybean sisters home three mornings. The friends were idle and panicked, and they also came to help, carrying all of them to the soybean family.

Everyone knows that soybeans are not used in vain, if she wants you to do things, she will promise you some benefits, even if it is left in the pot, she has to leave a piece for her friends.

However, basically there is nothing to do with the delicious food, and the little brothers of the Huang family will give it to Baoyuan!

The Huang brothers have been educated since they were young that they help each other and take care of their sisters.

Along the way, the smoke curls from the cooking, the cries of chickens and ducks returning to the barn, and the cattle and sheep on the road while walking. Soybeans felt that they were all magical, and when they saw cow, they felt that it was a big piece of Black Forest cake, and sheep fell on the ground like chocolate beans!

That world can never go back, are there any regrets? Yes. However, what the world gave her was not the hard work and blood she saw in the book, but the real warmth, the help of the family, which was really worth her reincarnation once.

Huang Dou thought, why don't you go back and let my sister try making cakes?

Just think about it, do it, forget it, in the last life, soybeans did not lack disasters flour, milk and eggs, and rice cookers to make cakes.

The little sisters in the same dormitory made cakes, some of them could barely be seen, some of them could barely be eaten, only the soybeans themselves, and the cakes made could barely be cooked!

Thief God, you have to warn in advance that you can cross, I must learn a craft, such as making glass, making soap, making lipstick, perfume or something.

Why did you send me a person who can only eat and wait to die, and can't go to the hall or kitchen?

Probably, let's make up the number of people!

When I got home, my mother was cooking, the stove was too hot in summer, and the second sister Huang Tao was driven out by my mother, and my mother felt that the child was small, couldn't stand the heat, and was prone to heat stroke.

The Huang family and other people's families really spoil their children, girls at the age of six or seven have to cook, learn to do needlework, and go to the ground at the age of eight or nine.

Huang Dou dragged out a wooden basin and called Huang Tao to stagger and carry it to the yard with her. He scooped water out of the tank and poured it in, and scooped up most of the basin of water.

The old man took off the pants that were around his neck, the waistband of the pants was down, and he fell against the wooden basin, and the little crab scrambled to fall out of the pants.

Yellow peach and soybean took a brush to brush the crabs, the stream was very clear, and the crabs were also very clean. Brush well, put water and steam it half-cooked. Then lift the umbilicus, remove the crab heart and lungs, and chop the crab from the middle. Because the crab is small, there is no need to chop the crab claws or anything.

The soybean held the basin and instructed the mother to pour oil and pour more oil. Fry the ginger slices, wait for the ginger slices to be slightly yellow and put in the green onion segments, fry the yellow and take it out, fry the minced garlic cloves, slightly yellow, scoop two spoonfuls of the soybean paste made by yourself and continue to boil, boil until the bean paste is fried crispy, then put the chopped red pepper and fry, then pour the crab into it and fry it red with oil, put salt, sugar, water, cover the pot and simmer.

In about ten minutes, the crabs came out of the pot, and most of the pot was full of crabs, and it took several catties. Huang Dou followed his uncle to bring a bowl to his grandmother, and sent another bowl to Huang Xiaoyu's family.

Soybeans feel that they are so good that they don't eat alone.

Huang Tao and Huang Delei respectively sent a bowl to the eldest uncle's second uncle's family, and in the words of Song San's sister-in-law, they gave the child a taste. The fourth uncle went to the town, and his father-in-law introduced him to carpentry work on the dock, tinkering, and estimated that he would have to work for a year or two, and the fourth aunt also took the child with him.

The family sat in the courtyard to eat, cornmeal porridge, small fish stickers, scallion roasted eggplant, garlic cloves, and a large pot of spicy crab.

The uncle first tasted a piece of soybean crab that the chef commanded, and when he took a bite, it was spicy and fragrant, chewed and swallowed with the shell, and gave the soybean a thumbs up again and again.

Soybean people have a lot of ideas, this is her first time making spicy crab, and there are still a lot of ingredients, but the taste is okay.

Song San's sister-in-law is also a spoiled child, if it were someone else's mother, she would have yelled about spending fuel and firewood, and she wouldn't do it. Whoever cooks is not just a few drops of oil, a little water, and a little salt in a pot to boil.

It's all like soybeans, pouring oil, pouring more oil, and the bottom of the oil pot is lifted! This is a mine at home, so bad oil, or make this kind of little crab with no meat and shells!

But the children are happy, and the family can bear it, once in a while, not too much.

Soybeans drank porridge, ate a piece of fish, ate another crab, and nibbled on a corn potsticker stuck in a fish pot. Look at the gentle mother, the strong father, the handsome brother, the beautiful sister, and the old uncle, I think life is so beautiful, it's not in vain that I didn't drink more soybeans and Meng Po soup!
