Zhang Qian's words made Zhang Ze very stunned, he didn't expect his sister, who had always been incomprehensible, to say such a thing.

But instead of refusing, he smiled mildly and encouragingly, asking, "Tell me why you have such an idea?" ”

Seeing that Zhang Ze didn't blame himself, and he didn't directly refuse or agree, Zhang Qian breathed a sigh of relief.

After being reassured, she also began to explain: "Brother, you often tell us that after reading books, you can understand things and learn useful things. My family now depends on you, and I think it's too hard, so I want to help you share some of it after reading a good book. ”

"If I get married, I may never be able to study again, and I won't be able to help you in the future."

Zhang Ze smiled dumbly, and at the same time was very moved in his heart. Unexpectedly, the conditions at home have improved, and this sister has always been thinking about this family and wants to contribute to this family for him.

Could it be that this sister of his own has the attribute of Voldeo?

But, there's nothing wrong with that.

"If you want to study hard, if you don't want to marry, don't marry, no one will force you." Zhang Ze whispered a word of comfort, and then looked at Zhang Qing next to him, "You are the same, you decide your life by yourself, brother, I will help you come up with ideas and check the gates." ”

"Brother, you're so nice!" Zhang Qian smiled, and there was no pressure in her heart.

Zhang Qing is only sixteen years old in the end, and she doesn't have as many thoughts as her sister, but it doesn't prevent her from knowing that her brother is good to her.

Therefore, he also shouted to study hard and help his brother after learning knowledge.

In fact, the two of them have no concept at all now, and they don't know how to help, they just know how to read good books first.

Tong Shuyao supported her face with one hand, and her eyes were full of the man beside her.

She considers herself lucky to have met such a man like no other.

Because no matter which family the daughter of the island is, after getting married, she will end up doing housework at home and taking care of the children, and she usually has to help repair and weave nets to earn work, and the same is true for her eldest sister.

She only needs to help with some housework, and the most she usually does is study.

So she also studied very hard, wanting to keep up with the footsteps of men and become a virtuous helper.

At nine o'clock in the evening, class ends on time.

Zhang Ze was drowsy in class, mainly because what he was teaching now was the knowledge of primary school, and he was completely here to accompany him now.

A full day is over.

The next day, Zhang Ze got up at about eight o'clock in the morning, and his delicate and delicate daughter-in-law was no longer around.

got up and washed up and went downstairs to find that Tong Shuyao was not there.

When I came to the next door, the doors were locked.

Zhang Ze, who was a little strange, went home and took the key to open the door, and no one could find it after entering, only a small pot of porridge was warm on the coal stove in the kitchen, and the briquettes inside had been extinguished, obviously people had been out for a while.

Zhang Ze drank porridge and was thinking about where everyone had gone, but he saw Zhang's mother pushing a bicycle, Zhang Qian and Tong Shuyao were holding a big bamboo basket together, and Zhang Qing was helping to push the bicycle in the back.

"Where have you been?" He hurriedly stepped forward to take the bicycle from Zhang's mother.

"We went to the beach, and we didn't have oyster scallops at home, so we went to the beach and got some." Mother Zhang came to the side and beat her waist and said.

Zhang Ze parked his bicycle in front of his house, and when he came to the bamboo basket at the back, he saw that it was full of oysters and scallops, all of which were almost full.

He suddenly smiled bitterly: "Mom, I don't make these because I plan to let you only make spiced crabs today, and it's not too late to get these if it's good to sell them then." ”

"Now that I'm tired all morning, do I still have the strength to cook at noon?"

Zhang Huihong waved her hand: "Mom is not old yet, just rest." ”

Zhang Ze sighed, since you have got it, let's go up!

He first took out two bamboo baskets from the house, and in the bamboo baskets were more than 30 catties of blue crabs and more than 20 catties of pike crabs.

The pike crab was secretly taken into the space by him last night to raise it, so the vitality is not bad now, otherwise it would be difficult for this thing to be put from yesterday to now.

The coal stove was also moved out, and a few brushes were taken.

There are three washing pools on the left side of the door, which Zhang Ze specially found someone to make, one is dedicated to washing dishes and chopsticks, and two are used to clean and process seafood.

Next to it was a large plastic bucket that he bought from a department store to put his garbage.

There are not many people on the road now, and everyone has basically eaten breakfast at this time, so they will take care of the ingredients first, and wait until almost noon when there are more pedestrians before starting a fire.

Time passed very quickly, and although many passers-by looked at them curiously, not understanding what they were going to do, none of them came to ask.

However, a female salesman next to Wuweihe was currently idle, so she came over to chat with Tong Shuyao and them.

She is not very old, she is about the same as Tong Shuyao, an unmarried young girl.

is close, and there are daily visits to the five flavors and shopping, and the two sides are naturally familiar.

"Shu Yao, what are you doing here?" Ruan Yanrong stood at the door and watched curiously, she didn't understand why a few people were washing these stones.

"We wash oysters and scallops and roast them with garlic at noon." Tong Shuyao looked back and saw that it was her, so she explained with a smile.

"Garlic, roasted?" Ruan Yanrong was full of question marks, and found that he didn't understand it anymore.

It's just that the next moment, her heart suddenly moved, thinking that since Zhang Ze's family moved over, she would occasionally smell a very good fragrance at noon or night, which made her mouth water.

At first, she wondered who cooked so well, and it all spread to her shop.

I went out to look for it, only to find that it was from next door.

The little girl was thin-skinned and embarrassed to ask directly, but she remembered the fragrance vividly.

Now that she happened to talk about this, she couldn't help but ask: "I smelled a very good smell from your house before, is this what kind of garlic is this?" ”

"This. Probably! Tong Shuyao was a little confused, her family can now let go of eating, and there will often be a good smell of vegetables, she is really not sure what the other party is talking about.

Zhang Ze also said at this time: "Our small shop opened today, and the dishes include spiced crabs, garlic oysters and scallops, and the smell you smell may be spiced crabs." We use plenty of ingredients to make crabs, so the flavor is also strong. ”

"Five spices?" Ruan Yanrong suddenly remembered that she did smell the smell of five-spice powder at that time, but the taste was very fragrant, which made her a little unsure.

It's just the word crab that made her frown again.

She thought it was a hairy crab, but when she got closer, she was a little disappointed when she found out that it was a sea crab.

Sea crabs are basically eaten by fishermen, and they buy some dried crab meat to cook porridge to add some umami.

Zhang Ze naturally noticed her expression, but he didn't explain much that the blue crab actually tasted not bad.

Because as long as the food is burned at noon, the fragrance will come out, and he believes that someone will definitely be willing to give it a try.

Ruan Yanrong chatted with Tong Shuyao for a few more words, and then returned to the store.

In the morning, business is average, Wuwei and upstairs have a kitchen, and at noon, their salesmen bring their own food, and then go upstairs to heat it up and eat it.

Ruan Yanrong was just about to go upstairs to heat up his lunch box, but suddenly a strong fragrance came from outside the door.

This smell is very familiar to her, it is the fragrance that she often smells during this time, which is very similar to the taste of five-spice powder.

Maybe it's because of the burning at the door next door today, the smell is more fragrant and stronger than before.

She immediately thought of what Zhang Ze said in the morning, could it be that this is a spiced crab?

She was already hungry, and her stomach was stimulated and immediately let out a rumbling sound.

Her colleague also smelled the fragrance and couldn't help but complain: "What kind of family is next to us, it's hard to eat every day." ”

Ruan Yanrong thought that the ingredients were just some "stones" that others didn't want, and there were sea crabs that people in the city didn't like to eat very much, and his face suddenly became a little strange.

Maybe you don't need good conditions to eat these, just because other people's cooking skills are good?

"Those things shouldn't be expensive, right?" Ruan Yanrong muttered.

"What?" Her colleague didn't hear clearly and wondered.

"It's nothing, you go to eat first, I'll go outside and have a look."

"Oh, together, I'm curious, what the hell is going on next door, it's so fragrant."

With that, the two said hello to the other colleagues, and then went out together and came to the next door.

It's just that Ruan Yanrong didn't expect that the next door would be full of people, and obviously everyone was attracted by this fragrance.

But I was only attracted to it, and no one bought it yet.

One of the men finally couldn't help it and asked, "How do you sell this sea crab, and what are these roasted ones, can you eat them?" ”

"This spiced cockle is five cents for one piece, and the pike crab is four cents for one piece. A cockle is guaranteed to be more than a catty, and the pike crab can be made up of two small plates, and everyone can choose by themselves. ”

"The crab can be changed if it is not fattened to ensure that each crab is fat enough."

"The two types of grilled ones are garlic oysters and scallops, oysters cost two dimes, and scallops with vermicelli cost eight cents a piece."

"So expensive?" Hearing the price, an aunt immediately shouted, "No one eats this crab, who wants your price is so high!" And these baked, who knows what it is, and two for a dime, whoever buys it is a fool. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Ze's eyes narrowed slightly, people will always meet a few disgusting people in this life, they can't see others well, and they always like to sabotage for no reason.

This kind of person can be found in all eras, but it will be more exposed in later generations.

As soon as Auntie's words came out, the crowd that was originally about to move suddenly extinguished their desire to buy.

Some people don't care about the price, they are simply attracted by the aroma and want to try it.

But now that the aunt says it, won't they become fools if they buy it again?

But there are really people who are willing to be this "fool", Ruan Yanrong squeezed in and immediately pointed to the oysters on the grill: "Two oysters and two scallops, and crabs."

When it came time to choose crabs, she was a little hesitant and didn't know which one to choose.

Zhang Ze didn't expect that she would take the initiative to jump out and become a "fool" in other people's mouths, seeing that she couldn't choose a crab, so she went over and took a female blue crab that was full of one pound and three pounds.

This blue crab is very fat, and it is also red and yellow paste, which will definitely be very delicious.

"Let's choose cockles, in fact, this crab will be a little more delicious."

"Okay, then I'll listen to you." Ruan Yanrong nodded without hesitation.

Zhang Ze was actually a little surprised by this girl's resoluteness, he didn't expect her to be so refreshing, and his good impression of her in his heart also improved a lot.

Then he dealt with the blue crab in front of everyone, and when he opened the shell to reveal that it was full of red and yellow cream, the crowd at the scene was even more commotionous and whispered.

They don't eat much sea crabs, but that doesn't mean they don't eat hairy crabs.

Therefore, they also know how fragrant the female hairy crab tastes when it is full.

Zhang Ze used scissors to cut off the stomach pouch, teeth and gills of the blue crab, cleaned the mud and dirt on the blue crab, and then cut the body of the blue crab into eight parts according to each leg and handed it to Zhang's mother.

After waiting for the pot to heat up, Mother Zhang poured an appropriate amount of oil into the pot without hesitation, and was not as reluctant as usual.

After putting the blue crab in and frying it for a while, a good smell came up and filled everyone's nose.

Later, add the spiced sauce that has been prepared, and the flavor will burst out at once.

The crowd who didn't want to be fools moved again, after all, someone took the lead this time!

When the time comes, everyone will buy it, and won't those who don't buy it become fools?

The blue crab is not good yet, the oyster scallops are already cooked, Tong Shuyao is in charge of roasting, and when Ruan Yanrong ordered, she had already asked the other party's taste, which should be slightly spicy.

After baking, she was very smart to put the scallops on a piece of folded small triangular paper and handed it to her.

In this way, Ruan Yanrong only needs to hold the paper and will not be burned.

As for the lack of chopsticks, that's not a problem either.

The other half of the shell is not thrown away, but washed and dried and set aside to cool.

Tong Shuyao took out a piece of shell and handed it to her, and after telling her how to eat it, Ruan Yanrong picked up the shell and put the vermicelli on it into her mouth first.

The sweetness of the scallops and the aroma of minced garlic immediately filled her mouth, making her eyes widen: "Hmm, this is too delicious, isn't it?" ”
