Sunset.

The sky is full of sunshine.

Zhao Dahai walked to the corner, opened the lid of a large bucket, and fished out a few three-point crabs and stone crabs. Yesterday, before pulling the mussels, taking advantage of the time when the tide was receding, he stepped on the waterline and caught a crab that was about to be 30 catties, and the orchid crab went to the town to sell to Liu Gang's restaurant as soon as he came back yesterday, a total of 27 catties and 2 taels, regardless of the currency price of 60 yuan a catty, sold for 1,632 yuan, got up two hours early and made a sum of money and left a delicious meal, it was really delicious.

Zhao Dahai walked into the kitchen with a three-point crab and a stone crab, the three-point crab is a kind of crab with three black spots on the shell, the stone crab is needless to say that it is a common crab in the reef place, the common feature is that the price is not high, and it can't be sold for a few dollars, so it is simply left to eat at home.

Zhao Dahai washed the rice and put it in the pot to cook rice. There are many ways to cook crabs, they can be steamed and fried, there is a kind of pot to put a little oil, do not put water, a little half steamed and half fried, three point crabs and stone crabs are washed and put into the pot, cover the pot, a few minutes of time a stream of water vapor steames up, the fresh fragrance is pressing, immediately lift the lid, take the plate, pick up the crab and put it on it.

Zhao Dahai set up the table in the courtyard, loaded the rice and served the dishes, and called grandma Zhong Cuihua and the two of them to sit down and eat.

"Grandma!"

"The three-point crab is a good size."

"Fat!"

Zhao Dahai took the largest three-point crab, which was half a catty, weighed it a little, pressed his hand, absolutely fat, broke the pliers, grabbed the four claws of one end with one hand, and pressed the sharp corners with the other hand A little force, lifted the crab cover, cleaned the crab gills, and put it into Zhong Cuihua's bowl.

"Isn't it good to sell?"

"When did we have no food while guarding the beach?"

Zhong Cuihua shook her head.

"Grandma!"

"All the valuable orchid crabs are sold!"

"Keep these ones for yourself!"

Zhao Dahai picked up a stone crab and lifted the crab cover, it was really fat, don't look at the big one, it was not as good as the three-point crab and not as good as the orchid crab, the shell was hard, not likable, but the taste was definitely not bad, in the middle was a piece of salted egg yolk like a thumb-sized paste, and the three-finger-sized crab had such a paste but it was terrible, I took the chopsticks and picked the paste and put it in the Zhong Cuihua bowl, which is a good thing.

Zhao Dahai finished dinner, rested for a few minutes, and began to carry buckets of water to the back of the house, these two days have been busy with mussels, grandma helped herself, the same as not taking care of the vegetable field, now there is time, you have to water it well, the sea breeze is strong and strong and dry, the vegetable field has to be watered well.

The moon is in the middle of the sky.

Zhao Dahai sat on the edge of the ground, sweating profusely, the vegetable seedlings moved in the ground were all alive, the water was watered, the water was green and oily, the beans and loofahs grew rapidly, and the time for a few days was more than ten centimeters high, and some of them almost had to be twenty centimeters, and after pondering for a while, there was not much to do tomorrow, and decided to cut bamboo and build a shelf.

Zhao Dahai rested for a while, checked the fence built a few days ago, it was not loose, the bamboo was dense enough, there were no holes, and he was relieved, seeing that the fastest growing vegetables were almost edible, in case a chicken came in, he would be swept away, and he was very depressed.

Zhao Dahai carried the bucket home, put it on the cement floor in front of the yard and took it back home, the beach at night, sometimes the dew is heavy, wet and affects the quality, it is not easy to sell at a good price.

The next day.

Zhao Dahai got up early in the morning, cooked breakfast at five o'clock, and the rest of the porridge was brought out to dry the vegetables and left in the pot to be hot, and after a while, grandma Zhong Cuihua woke up and could eat, pushed the motorcycle out, rushed to the town in half an hour, bought some meat and vegetables, and then found a hardware store to buy water pipes, glue, wire nails, etc.

Zhao Dahai saw that some of the mussels had been moved out to dry on the cement floor in front of the yard, and knew that his grandmother had gotten up and was busy with work, so he hurriedly set up the motorcycle, put down his things to help, and the two of them all moved out in a while.

"You're going to go about your business!"

"I'll do it myself!"

Zhong Cuihua took a straw hat and put it on her head, and began to turn over the mussel meat on the dustpan and straw mat one by one.

Zhao Dahai walked to the motorcycle, took the meat and vegetables back to the kitchen, took the water pipe and glue into the yard, and began to get busy, the vegetable field needed more and more water, and it was time-consuming and laborious to carry water all day long. Those who can do these small things by themselves can do it themselves, and invite others, no matter how big or small, they will get at least 200 yuan a day, and they will save money by doing it themselves.

Zhao Dahai took the water pipe, the glue had to wait for a while to test the water, not idle, picked up the firewood knife and went to the back mountain of the village, cut a bundle of finger-sized bamboo, cut off the branches and leaves, pulled the vine and tied it, carried it back to the vegetable field behind the house, and began to build a shelf for the carob loofah, two or three beans or loofahs in the middle of the choice of a suitable place, three bamboos were gently inserted into the soil, and a third of the place on the top was left together and tied tightly with the thin wire just bought, such a tripod is very stable, and the general sea breeze can't blow at all. After setting up all the shelves, the loofahs and beans that were more than ten centimeters long were all tied to the bamboo with small wires.

"The sea."

"Take a break."

Zhao Dahai looked up, and grandma Zhong Cuihua came over with a kettle and a bowl, only to find that the sun had risen to the middle of the sky unconsciously, and it was almost twelve o'clock.

Zhao Dahai poured a bowl of water, drank it in one go, pointed to the water pipe faucet that had just been pulled, remembered that he hadn't tested the water yet, and immediately ran back to the yard to turn on the faucet, checked it along the water pipe, and walked back to the vegetable field with the soft water pipe he bought in the morning, connected it to the faucet, and led it into the vegetable field.

"Grandma!"

"When you water the ground, just pull this water pipe!"

"I don't need a bucket to carry it."

"It's convenient!"

Zhao Dahai pulled the water pipe and poured it on the ground. I am young and strong, and it is no problem to carry water in the yard, but it is impossible to be at home every day, so I always have to fish in the sea to make money or something, and the watering in the vegetable field must be helped by grandma Zhong Cuihua, so that it is convenient and labor-saving.

"This is good!"

"Watering is easy and effortless!"

Zhong Cui took a turn in the cauliflower field, touched the triangular shelf and touched the green vegetables, and pulled out a few young grasses that grew out.

"The sea!"

"There's land over here. Another day, you can get some fruit trees that we can plant and come back and plant them. ”

Zhong Cuihua finished reading the vegetable patch, walked back to Zhao Dahai, and gestured to the ground behind the house, and there were still many empty ones.

"Okay!"

"Buy some seedlings and plant bananas, this thing is very wild, and you can eat it in a year or two."

Zhao Dahai smiled and nodded, the vegetable field is big enough and there is no need to open it again, it is empty and wasteful, you have to plant something.

"What bananas?"

"How much of this stuff can I eat as an old lady?"

"Get some other long fruit."

Zhong Cuihua shook her head.

"Okay!"

"No problem!"

"In a few days, when I go to town, I will buy some long fruit and come back and plant it. Ready for your great-great-grandchildren! ”

Zhao Dahai reacted immediately.

When Zhong Cuihua heard this, she kept nodding her head, and the wrinkles on her face smiled.
