Chapter 169: Crabs
The two of you chatted with me word by word, and before you knew it, it was afternoon.
The old lady was busy cooking.
Su Xiao'e and the others are here to attend the engagement banquet today, so naturally they will not eat at Wei Dong's house.
Seeing that the old lady was going to cook their meal, Su Xiao'e hurriedly stopped and said:
"Auntie, you don't have to prepare our meal, we're here for dinner today."
"This is the first time you come to the door, how can there be any reason for you to go back on an empty stomach?"
The old lady said, and she wanted to scoop rice into the rice jar, Su Xiao'e continued to persuade:
"Auntie, don't worry, we won't be hungry, and when the construction comes back in a while, we'll go to my aunt's house."
"Hey, that's okay, I'm going to eat at home when I come back, but don't eat at home."
"Okay, auntie, don't worry, the construction is so familiar with you, I'm not welcome."
When the old lady heard Su Xiao'e say this, she nodded with satisfaction, and then put some of the rice back that was scooped out.
Although the life of this Wei Dong's family is better, it is only better than ordinary people's lives, and they can be fed and clothed.
Other than that, there isn't much extra money.
In addition, the subsidy of Wei Dong's family is a bit excessive, and this big family depends on Wei Dong's income to maintain, which is still somewhat stretched.
At this time, Xu Jianshe and Wei Dong came back with a small red plastic bucket.
Su Xiao'e stepped forward curiously and saw a crab.
The two said they were going fishing, and they even caught a small half-bucket of crabs.
"What is delicious about this crab, the shell is more and the meat is less, I said no, this construction has to be brought back."
Wei Dong said as he put down the red keg with some disgust, and then complained to Xu Jianjian.
"How are you going to eat these things?"
When Su Xiao'e saw the crab, she was more surprised than when she saw the fish.
For the fish in the other bucket, Su Xiao'e didn't react much.
"This crab is fried and eaten, it is the most delicious, and it is made into a spicy crab."
"Yo, this is still made spicy, I only heard that it is made into steamed, but this crab has a strong smell of earthy smell, and it can't be steamed."
Su Xiao'e naturally knew that this kind of crab had a strong earthy smell, but the more earthy the food, the more she had to use heavy ingredients to cover up its fishy smell.
And for people who have always been accustomed to eating steamed crabs, such crabs are really a little disliked.
"You don't know, this spicy crab is delicious."
Su Xiao'e said as she began to think about what seasonings to use to make this delicious dish.
But then I thought that I would have to eat a banquet for the next two days, and my heart was a little uncomfortable.
"Well, we're going to have a feast for the next two days, and we're ......"
"It's not simple, I'll keep this crab in the water tank at home when I go back, and when you are free in two days, just come to my house and do it, just save us from going out to buy extra vegetables to entertain you."
"You're saving it, a crab wants to send us away?"
"No, who told you to bring these things back."
Wei Dong said, and then walked towards the large water tank in the courtyard with the crab.
This large water tank is usually used to store water for washing vegetables, and it is still very useful to use this water to mop the floor or something.
At this time, Wei Dong poured out the water in the water tank, put some clear water in it again, and said to Xu Jianjian:
"I'll help you raise this crab for three days at most, and if it dies after three days, don't blame me."
Three days is enough, today's engagement banquet, tomorrow's formal banquet, after eating, you can come to deal with these crabs.
Su Xiao'e doesn't have many other hobbies, but Su Xiao'e is still very good at making food and making money.
"Then the day after tomorrow, we will come to your house to eat crabs."
Su Xiao'e said politely at all.
Xu Ruyi and Wei Guoqing, who had just come out of the house, heard this, and they all looked at Su Xiao'e with puzzled expressions.
"Sister Xiao'e, will you come to the house for dinner the day after tomorrow?"
"yes, your dad and Jianjian caught a lot of crabs and came back."
This Wei Guoqing has no interest in eating crabs, but he is very happy that Xu Ruyi will come back when the time comes.
It happened that the day after tomorrow was Sunday, and the school was on vacation, so he could stay with Xu Ruyi again.
The expression on Xu Ruyi's face was not so good, she didn't have much of a good impression of this Wei Guoqing, she just contacted her like an ordinary friend.
But the other party's enthusiasm made her a little embarrassed, but she didn't know how to refuse.
"Sister Xiao'e, it's good for you to come then."
"Why, this crab is delicious, come over with us then."
Su Xiao'e likes food herself, and naturally likes to invite others to taste the delicious food she makes.
Seeing Xu Ruyi so repulsive, the first thing that came to mind was to pull Xu Ruyi to share it together.
"That's right, Ruyi, you're bored at home, just come over and play together, by the way, construction, call your sister over when the time comes."
While the old lady was busy in the kitchen, she took the time to show her head and interject.
Xu Jianshe just smiled and didn't speak.
Wei Dong said to Xu Jianshe with an enthusiastic face:
"That's right, call Xiaowan together, a few children are lively together, hey, no, why does my son call your daughter-in-law Sister Xiao'e? Isn't this generation inferior? ”
Xu Jianshe raised his eyebrows, and then said unceremoniously towards Wei Dong:
"You don't want to take advantage of me."
"How did I take advantage of you, you can tell me well, this is not what I called, who told you to marry a daughter-in-law and marry someone so young."
Xu Jianshe pursed his lips tightly and didn't speak, but when he looked at Su Xiao'e's young appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, but he still snorted coldly on his face.
"What's wrong with my daughter-in-law's youth?"
Several people were bickering as they walked outside.
Because they were going to have dinner in a while, Xu Jianshe and Su Xiao'e left early and did not leave food at Wei Dong's house.
After walking far away, Xu Jianshe said to Su Xiao'e:
"I remember you said earlier that crabs are delicious."
Su Xiao'e didn't remember this stubble, but thinking that Xu Jianshe took what she said to heart, she was still very happy.
"Well, my next-door neighbor's uncle used to take me and my brother to the river to fish and catch shrimp, and occasionally caught crabs, they would make them spicy for us to eat, but they were delicious."
The uncle of the neighbor next door, when Su Xiao'e and her two siblings were young, saw that the two children were pitiful, and often cooked a lot of delicious food for them.
Not only that, seeing that Su Xiao'e likes to make food, he also handed over his skills to Su Xiao'e.
