Chapter 7: Encounter Again
Sang's mother has good cooking skills, and the crab meat pot she makes has always been very popular with her children. Especially today, the quality of this blue crab is excellent, and the dishes are even better.
The smell of the kitchen came for a while, and Sangi's saliva in the living room was about to flow out. As soon as the table was wiped and the dishes and chopsticks were put away, she immediately sent a few more WeChat messages to her younger brother.
Not long after I sent it out, I heard the sound of a car stopping outside the yard. Soon the door was pushed open, and the family finally returned home.
"Sister, look at how many messages you sent me, our mother didn't rush so much."
"That's because our mom is cooking and doesn't have time!"
Sangi scolded him as she stepped forward to take her brother's luggage.
"Hurry up and change your clothes and come out to eat, there is your favorite crab today~"
Sang Ming responded, and his interest was not particularly great. This time he went to his friend's wedding, and it was amazing to eat rice crab there. It is said that the rice crab farm uses the latest anti-pollution technology, and the water quality is comparable to that of 20 years ago.
Of course, this may be an exaggeration, but the rice crab is delicious. The female crab roe is mostly full of a cover, and the male crab paste is thick, soft and sticky to the teeth. It tasted fresh and sweet, better than all the river crabs he had eaten before.
After eating such a superb product, and thinking about the blue crabs that are often eaten at home, I always feel that there is a little less taste.
"Kiki, go next door and call your dad back, it's time to eat~"
"Okay!"
Sanqi answered the call and ran out of the door, and quickly pulled his father back from the poker table at his uncle's house.
It's not easy to come back once for the New Year, and Lao Sang is also rare to touch a card with his brothers, and he is reluctant to say that he is not hungry when he leaves.
But as soon as I got home, I saw the good food cooked by my wife on the table, and I immediately changed my mouth again.
"Oops, after playing cards for a long time, my stomach growled. My wife is so good, she cooks so many good dishes. Hey?! Where did this blue crab come from, so big? ”
Lao Sang looked at the steamed crab and was very curious. After all, he bought all the vegetables at home, and he clearly remembered that the biggest crabs he saw in the market were not as big as the one in front of him. And today's crab doesn't look very good, so he didn't buy it.
"I bought it back!"
While serving food to her parents, Sang Qi briefly talked about the pitiful little seacatcher she met on the island.
"Xiao Yu'er is amazing, I see that there are several big crabs in her basket, but I don't have any cash on me, so I have to forget it. Mom, try it, how about this crab, it's delicious, I'll go to the island tomorrow to find her. ”
Sang Mu nodded, and dismantled a steamed crab claw to taste it first.
The hard crab claws were patted with the back of a knife before steaming, and the shell cracked early, and it only took a little strength to peel off.
The snow-white crab meat was peeled out steaming, and a large piece was only a little smaller than the crab claws. It's rare to see crab meat so plump.
Sang Mu is also a crab lover, so she quickly bit down a large piece and tasted it.
Well?!!!
This taste...... Let her instantly recall her childhood. At that time, my hometown was not as polluted as it is now, and the seafood caught from the sea tasted fresh and sweet, just like the blue crab in front of me, no! The meat of this blue crab in front of me is even sweeter and more perfect than what I had eaten when I was a child!
She regretted the blue crab used to make the crab stew at this time, so the best seafood still has to be steamed to really taste it.
"How's it going? Is it delicious? ”
Sang Mu nodded, and directly stuffed the remaining half of the crab claws into her daughter's mouth.
"Kiki, your crab only cost a thousand or eight in total, so we really took advantage of it. Remember to make up for the little girl tomorrow. ”
Such a superb blue crab can be sold for three or five hundred on the market, but the little girl only sells for two hundred, and she suffers a lot.
Sangqi didn't understand what it meant, and it wasn't until the crab meat in his mouth tasted that his eyes widened and he reacted.
Indeed, the blue crab that Xiao Yu'er sold to himself tasted so good that he wanted to swallow it with his tongue.
Tomorrow I must go to the island to find her, buy her some clothes, and make up the difference for her.
A family of three was hooked by this superb blue crab, and they didn't wait for the old and young to clean up and start eating. When Sang Ming came out after taking a shower and changing his clothes, there were only a few legs and shells left on the steamed blue crab on the table, and the crab meat pot was still full, but at a glance, it was all side dishes such as chicken feet and potatoes, and the crab couldn't see anything.
"Ahem......"
Sang's mother blushed, and it was rare to eat such a delicious blue crab and forgot about her son for a while.
"Ah Ming, come here, Mom left you crabs."
Sang Ming looked at the pieces of crab meat that his mother had finally turned over, and he was immediately happy.
Although he still thinks about the rice field crab in his heart, he feels happy when he sees his father and sister staring at his bowl, especially when he sees the regretful expressions of the two of them after eating the crab meat, which is really cute.
Hey......
The taste of this blue crab......
Sang Ming sucked off the soup on the crab meat and tasted it seriously.
It's so fresh!
I didn't expect the blue crabs at home to have such a meat quality!
The coastal waters have been seriously polluted over the years, and the blue crabs are not as delicious as they are every year, which is really uncomfortable for a person with a picky tongue like him.
I really didn't expect to eat something good this time!
"Mom, where did you buy this crab? Anything else? ”
Sang Mu subconsciously looked at the kitchen and replied, "Yes, yes, I'm going to take it away tomorrow." ”
There are five more that she originally planned to give away, but now she regrets that she decided to send only three, and keep two more at home to eat tomorrow.
Hearing her plan, the whole family agreed at that time.
Outcome......
Two hours later, while watching TV, the family ate two steamed blue crabs.
Sang Qi was full of food and drink, leaning lazily on the sofa while listening to the family's chatter, while thinking that Ming'er would buy two more clothes for Xiao Yu'er, and then ask her to buy more crabs to come back.
While everyone in the family is still at home, they will feast together. Otherwise, in a few days, my mother and father will be gone, and it will not be easy to eat a bite of fresh blue crab.
The Sang family had a deep impression of the little fisherman in Sang Qi's mouth tonight because of those big blue crabs. I was thinking about buying some of the best blue crabs from her again.
The little fisherman who was worried about them was curled up under the warm down jacket at the moment and slept very sweetly, and it was rare that he did not wake up from freezing.
Xu also slept very deeply, and dreamed of her husband and son for a long time, and the family lived happily.
When I woke up in the morning, I still couldn't tell the difference between dream and reality, and I didn't wake up until I saw the simple grass hut.
Disappointment and pain spread in her heart again, but she no longer indulged in pain all day long like before, and did not worry her daughter.
Xu Shi cleaned up the bed, and finally carefully put away the precious clothes and gently rolled them up, ready to wrap it in palm leaves again. Ye Yu happened to see it when he came in with breakfast, and hurriedly stopped her.
"Ah Lang (mother), don't accept it, jump (wear) it."
Although the winter by the sea is not too cold, they have no money to buy clothes, and they still wear the clothes they wore when they were kicked out in the summer, as well as a few old clothes given by Aunt Qiu.
Ye Yu himself is not afraid of the cold, but A-Niang's body is not good, and she still has to wear it.
Xu refused, it was too eye-catching to see this dress. Even if you're far away, you'll be able to notice it. It's quite close to the village, and if someone finds out, it won't be clear.
"Mother is fine, let's sleep with this dress at night, and don't wear it during the day."
Ye Yu also understood A-Niang's concerns, so he simply stuffed the clothes into the quilt, and then pushed A-Niang to the bed.
"Anyway, Ah Lang (mother) you are going to weave straw shoes on the fourth (yes) day today, so it is better to sit here. There is a quilt that prevents others from seeing. ”
"This ......"
Xu wanted to refuse, but her legs in the quilt were so comfortable, and she was still obedient in the end.
Ye Yu bent his eyes, and he was very happy in his heart. She is so worried when she touches A-Niang's cold hands and feet every day, and today A-Niang finally doesn't have to be frozen anymore.
I really want to thank that sister......
Half an hour later, Ye Yu set off from home again with dry food and wooden barrels.
Xu sat in the straw hut and rubbed the hay while worrying about his daughter. She wanted to go with her daughter, but the raft at home was limited, and she couldn't put anything else on it.
It is really impossible to go to Baoshan Island empty-handed like this, and if she lets her daughter run twice, she will be even more unwilling, so she can only wait for news from her daughter at home.
I hope Yu'er can go smoothly this time, it doesn't matter if she can't find that kind lady, just come back safely.
——————
Ye Yu was lucky today, there was no wind and waves on the sea, and it was very smooth.
An hour later, she landed on Baoshan Island again. With your feet on the sand, a tense heart slowly relaxes. To be honest, all the way here was surrounded by unfathomable water, and there was not even a figure on the vast sea, and she was still quite panicked.
After going to the island, she sat on the spot for a while before she got up and went to the woods.
The tide was still ebbing, and she thought about going to the woods to find out where she had fallen yesterday.
Ye Yu followed his path to find herbs and touched it little by little, and when he saw the familiar big stone, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Yesterday's experience was too bizarre, if there was nothing here today, she would have been prepared.
She tentatively stepped forward and touched it, and her thin hand once again felt another time and space through the stone wall.
That's what it feels like!
Ye Yu couldn't help but jump with joy.
But now was not the past, she simply cleared the weeds around her, exposed the stone wall entirely, and then turned back to the beach.
If you want to ask someone to do something, of course, you have to bring something, and if you don't have anything else, catch more big blue crabs, she looked at yesterday's kind sister and liked it very much.
Ye Yu took the basket to find those reef cracks to dig out crabs today, and he was lucky enough to pick up a big octopus on the way. In addition, she also found five or six oyster snails, and was going to give them to that sister together.
This time, she was well prepared, and when the harvest was almost over, she lifted the two wooden barrels to a shade and pulled a large pile of weeds on them, so as to prevent the fish and shrimp from jumping out and the seabirds from stealing food, so that she did not have to worry.
After settling in the sea to catch the harvest, Ye Yu took a deep breath and walked directly into the forest with a basket full of crabs and conchs.
Although she was mentally prepared when she touched the stone wall, the terrain on both sides was not the same, and she still couldn't adapt to the feeling of suddenly falling into the void, and she stumbled several steps to stabilize her figure.
This is it, she landed here yesterday!
Ye Yu endured his excitement and made marks on the tree as he walked out. She didn't know where to find the kind sister, but the sister had said that she was going to look for herbs on this island recently, and she would try her luck in a few more places.
She gave herself an hour, and if she couldn't find anyone within an hour, she would go back first, and sell the fish and crabs while they were still fresh.
The little girl quickly walked out of the woods and walked in from the other side, for she had been wandering around the woods without meeting anyone. Someone met her, and when he saw her shabby, he didn't talk to her at most.
Ye Yu looked for half an hour like this, but found nothing. She wondered if the sister would be out on the beach, so she went outside to look for it. As a result, when I went out, I stepped on something slippery and fell, and it hurt not very much, but the lid on the basket was opened, and a blue crab fell out.
As soon as she picked it up, she heard the two people in front of her exclaim.
"Yo! What a big crab!! ”
Two people in strange costumes who were still covering their faces quickly surrounded Ye Yu.
"Little sister cub is amazing! Where did such a big crab catch? ”
The two aunts who were very excited were sea lovers, and they always came to catch the sea early but never caught such a big blue crab.
The two are locals, who grew up eating seafood, and can see at a glance how good the quality of the blue crab in the little girl's hands is.
"Little sister, do you sell this crab? Auntie can buy it for 300 yuan a catty. ”
"I want to buy it too! Little sister, how many crabs do you have in your basket? We're all going to do it! ”
The two aunts looked around Ye Yu and wanted to see her basket again. Ye Yu was nervous and speechless, she didn't want to sell at all, the money sold here couldn't be spent in the county, and it was useless to sell it. But she opened her mouth and didn't know how to refuse, and nervous sweat broke out.
"Hey! Little fisherman!! ”
Hearing this excited voice, Ye Yumeng turned her head violently, and recognized at a glance that it was the kind sister who was running towards her.
"Sister!"
The smile on her face was genuine, and Sangki could tell that she was genuinely happy to see her.
This girl is really painful.
"Aunt Su, Aunt Miao, this is my friend Xiao Yu'er, and our family has ordered her crabs, I'm sorry."
Sang Qi said hello and pulled down her mask, and the two aunts recognized it as Dr. Sang from Haihong Hospital.
Everyone knows each other, and they can also see that the little sister cub in front of them and Dr. Sang are familiar with each other, so naturally it is not easy to fight.
Although it was a pity that they didn't buy it, this big blue crab encouraged them. Since this little girl cub can catch such a big blue crab, it means that there are still on the island, and they have to look for it again!
The two left quickly, and Sang Qi pulled Ye Yu to find a place to sit down.
"Why don't you wear the clothes you wore yesterday? It's so cold! ”
His hands were as cold as ice ballast, which made people feel distressed.
Sang Qi asked as she took out a set of down jackets she had just bought today, the gray color was not very bright, because she thought that Xiao Yu'er had to work often, and she was afraid that this girl would be reluctant to wear the beautiful color.
"Come and try it, this is what I just bought today, about your yardage. This garment is meant to be worn, and don't be reluctant to give it up. ”
Ye Yu looked dazed, and was put on a new down jacket without even reacting.
It's really warm......
"Sister......
Why would anyone be so nice to her?
"Little fisherman, where did you get to the island from? I waited at the dock before the tide receded today, and I almost gave up after waiting for a few hours without seeing you. If I hadn't heard what the two aunts said about blue crabs, I would probably have missed you. ”
Ye Yu was just about to answer, but Sang Qi remembered something again and continued to chatter.
"That's right! Show me the wounds on your hands. I didn't get wet when I went back yesterday, did you? I brought the medicine and I'll retry it for you. ”
She neatly took out a bunch of alcohol swabs, gauze and medicine from her bag, and when she pulled up Xiao Yu'er's hand, she felt the little girl shrink and thought she was afraid of pain.
"Little fisherman, this wound has to be changed frequently......"
Before he finished speaking, Sang Qi was stunned.
The gauze on the bag yesterday is still there, but it has become dirty, and you don't need to look at it to know that this girl has been injured and has done a lot of work.
Looking at the gauze, you can already think that the wound will not be too good.
Sangi suddenly fell silent and untied the gauze layer by layer. When I saw the white and swollen wound, my eyes immediately turned red.
How much does this hurt......
