"Hey!"

"Second grandfather!"

"What are you doing so fast?"

"It's dark. Beware of dropping a butt piercing. ”

Zhao Dahai followed Zhao Shi who walked briskly forward.

"Humph!"

"Are you a kid who lacks a heart?!"

"Can't you remember the last time you went to goby?!"

"There are blue crabs in the woods, and they go to catch them secretly. You don't have to go back to the village by a small pier. ”

Zhao Shi stopped, blew his beard and glared.

"Hey, hey, hey."

"Second grandfather."

"Am I really that stupid?!"

Zhao Dahai smiled, this was angry that he was passing by the dock with a blue crab just now, and Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin must have to enter the mangrove forest when they saw it.

"Second grandfather."

"I walked through all the mangroves that I could walk in a tidal time, at low tide and high tide."

"Blue crabs have a place for this."

"Where there is one blue crab, it is unlikely that there will be another blue crab at the same time."

"Where one blue crab is caught, it is impossible for another blue crab to appear in a short period of time."

"Zhong Shizhu or Liu Bin or someone else in the village entering the mangrove forest?!"

"What's the catch?"

Zhao Dahai told Zhao Shi that tonight was the second time he had entered the mangrove forest, and he had searched all the trenches nearby, and picked them up again at night, and there must have been some nets that slipped through but not many. Zhong Shizhu and Liu Bin knew that they had caught a lot of blue crabs, so what if they knew that they had caught a lot of blue crabs? Into the mangroves? It is possible to find one or two and kill three or four. Half a day or even a whole day, such a harvest is not as good as going out to sea to fish.

"Humph!"

"That's pretty much it."

"It's not too early."

"Hurry home."

Zhao Shi's face looked a little better, waved his hand, turned around, and walked onto a path.

Zhao Dahai knew that this was for his own good, and ordinary people would not say such things to himself, so after waiting for a while, Zhao Shi walked away and couldn't see before turning around and walking quickly towards his house.

Zhao Dahai walked to the gate of the courtyard, and Zhong Cuihua pushed the door and walked out.

"Grandma."

"I'm back."

Zhao Dahai shouted as he jumped into the yard with his burden and put it down.

Zhong Cuihua looked at the blue crabs in the two net bags and smiled from ear to ear.

Zhao Dahai carefully opened a separate net bag and took out the butter crab.

"Ouch hey."

"That's good stuff."

Zhong Cuihua took it in her hand and weighed it, she couldn't run away from seven or eight taels a catty, and she could sell it for four or five hundred yuan, and it would take ten days and a half a month to weave her own fishing nets to earn this money.

Zhao Dahai saw Zhong Cuihua holding the butter crab and looking over and over, it was very rare, smiled, picked up the net bag containing the shrimp and clams and walked into the kitchen, the rice has been cooked, it is hot on the stove, just stir-fry, the shrimp and clams and stone crabs are washed, the iron pot is heated and the oil is released, all the brains are put down, cover the fire and burn for five minutes, lift the lid of the pot, a stream of water vapor rushes up, and the whole kitchen is the sweetness of seafood.

Zhao Dahai brought the food to the hall, put it on the table, and shouted loudly to Zhong Cuihua to eat.

"Big Fish."

"When are you going to sell these blue crabs?!"

Zhong Cuihua asked Zhao Dahai while eating.

Zhao Dahai took a pee shrimp and peeled it, put it in Zhong Cuihua's bowl, and just wanted to say that he was going to sell blue crabs early tomorrow morning, when a wind blew in outside, and there was a cold war.

"Hee-hee-hee."

"Grandma."

"There's no rush. There is no hurry. ”

"I'll sell it in two days."

Zhao Dahai smiled and shook his head.

Zhong Cuihua was a little strange, she looked at it just now, and took the full bucket she caught before. Blue crabs can be raised for a long time, but the longer the time, the thinner and thinner they are, they can't sell at a good price, so it's good to sell them as soon as possible.

"Grandma."

"When I came back just now, there were already white-headed waves at the docks."

"The wind is blowing harder and stronger."

"It's unlikely that there will be fishing boats out to sea these days."

"Selling two days later will sell for a better price."

Zhao Dahai pointed to the sky outside the door as he spoke, it was gloomy and pitch black, the wind blowing was a little cold and scraped the bones, the weather was not good, there were no fishing boats out to sea to fish, the number of fish, shrimp and crabs in the market was not much, the price was rising, the same fish, shrimp and crabs could be sold for a quarter or even a third of the money, other fish, shrimp and crabs could not be kept, the green vegetables were different, they could feed ten days and half a month, and it was no problem to wait for a day or two.

Zhong Cuihua thought about it and nodded, it was indeed a change in the sky.

Zhao Dahai watched Zhong Cuihua finish eating, and wanted to continue weaving fishing nets, this is not good, it's no problem to do some work to pass the time, you can't stay up late, half coaxed and half forced, helped Zhong Cuihua into the back room, waited to lie down, and then returned to the hall to continue eating.

The small fishing village by the sea is not prosperous, and there are fewer opportunities to make money, but there is really no shortage of small seafood on the table.

Wrasse shrimp, stone crabs and hairy clams, with hands and feet, can get a pound or two in a circle of the seaside tidal flats, enough to eat a good meal.

Zhao Dahai drilled into the mangrove forest for most of the day, and his physical exertion was huge, and he ate big gulps, eating urine shrimp, stone crabs and clams.

Zhao Dahai finished eating, cleaned up, walked out of the yard, and when he was cooking by himself, Zhong Cuihua had already put all the blue crabs in the net bag into the big bucket, and there was no problem after reading it, and a little seawater was drenched, the blue crabs could not be fed but they had to be ensured to be moist, and dehydration would lose the meat, paste and even die.

Zhao Dahai looked up at the sky, it was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and the wind was getting stronger and colder.

"Come on. Come on. ”

"Let's get a little more intense!"

Zhao Dahai muttered, the bucket containing the blue crab was carried into the hall, if it rained and was drenched, it would all be over, this is not something that can live in fresh water.

Six o'clock the next morning.

Zhao Dahai got up, looked at the inner room, Zhong Cuihua didn't wake up, turned around and walked lightly to the hall, saw the big bucket containing the blue crabs, thought about it, took two seven or eight and walked into the kitchen, cut it in two, lifted the lid, dialed the cheeks, rinsed the water and cut it into pieces, burned the fire, put oil in the big iron pot and fried it, washed the rice, fried it together for a while and added water, boiled for two minutes on high heat, put the cut ginger slices in, put some salt, turned it over, pressed the fire, covered it and covered it before going to tell Zhong Cuihua to get up.

"Huh?"

"You kid. Cooked and eaten? ”

Zhong Cuihua looked at the cooked blue crab porridge and was stunned for a moment.

"Hee-hee!"

"Grandma!"

"I woke up in the morning and saw two half-dead. Simply cooked. ”

Zhao Dahai knew that her grandmother Zhong Cuihua had a hard time in the past two years, and because she was old, she had to eat something good from time to time. Blue crab porridge is delicious, nutritious, and suitable, and it is necessary to make money but it should be eaten. Seven or eight taels of blue crabs can only be sold for dozens of yuan, Zhong Cuihua will definitely stop it when she sees it, and after cooking it, it is impossible not to eat it.

Zhao Dahai filled a bowl of cut blue crab and porridge and put it in front of Zhong Cuihua.

Zhong Cuihua shook her head, the blue crab had just been caught from the mangrove forest for two days, and she had seen each of them, it was impossible to be half-dead, this was what she said if she wanted to eat well.
