This guy is a little annoying!

The wind on the sea, sitting in the courtyard at night to eat is very cool, Dongzhu lit two oil lamps and put them on the dining table, washed his hands and happily went to serve the bowl and take chopsticks.

Han Ji and Shen Sui wanted to help serve the dishes, but they were driven out by Haizhu in disgust, "There are not a few dishes, you two will serve two more, and you will drink porridge tonight." ”

A table of seafood and fresh food, pork and chicken are not touched, Haizhu said a little apologetically: "Doctor Mu, you will have a meal, I will entertain you well next time I come." ”

"You're welcome, it's already hearty, I'm not a picky eater." Dr. Mu scooped a bowl of porridge by himself, white oyster meat, red shrimp, boiled rice with the color of crab roe, green green onions and tender vegetable leaves, just the color mixed together is particularly appetizing.

"Although the south is uncomfortably hot and humid, there is a good thing, there is no shortage of vegetables to eat all year round." Dr. Mu said with a smile, "At this time in the northwest, it is already snowing, there is no green on the dinner table, and Kyoto is also cold. ”

"There are also inconveniences, the ingredients can't be saved, and the leftovers can't be eaten until the next meal." Haizhu said, "It's not convenient to eat meat, pork is only fresh in the morning, buy it back and soak it in cold water until noon, a table of fresh fish mixed with a stale dish, even if you are hungry for meat, you can't eat it." ”

"It's true." Pork is good to say, Dr. Mu has been in the northwest for a long time and likes to eat mutton, in the two years he came to the south, he has eaten two meals of mutton, and he can't catch up with the speed of eating mutton on the front foot and chewing coptis on fire.

Han Ji and Shen Sui couldn't interject, these two didn't know anything about cooking, and the only thing they knew about it came from that recipe.

Hot porridge base, stomach warmed, everyone put down the bowl and began to eat raw pickles, shrimp pickled when it was still alive, shrimp meat is particularly fresh, dipped in wine and mixed with sauce, eating without a little fishy smell.

"Did you eat pickled food when you first came to the South?" Haizhu asked Han Ji.

Han Ji nodded, "I ate everything during the war, and the sour jerky is fragrant, so let's talk about these things." ”

After eating raw pickles, I scooped a bowl of fish balls and seaweed soup, and fried fish in one mouthful of soup, this strange way of eating was also enjoyable, and in the end, there was nothing left.

After the meal, Dongzhu washed the dishes, the wind wiped the table and swept the floor, and Haizhu sent the three men out, and they slept on the boat at night.

"Leaving tomorrow morning?" Haizhu asked.

"Well, there's going to the next fishing village." Han Ji untied the jade pendant around his waist to her, "We said that we are patrolling the sea, one east and one west are far apart, if you can't find anyone in trouble, you will take the jade pendant to the uninhabited island, and the one we go to, my soldiers are stationed on it." ”

Haizhu didn't answer, this was quite giving her the right to transfer troops, she didn't know what he was thinking, it was too precious.

"What trouble can I have as a girl who holds a boat and fishes, I can't solve it when I encounter a scoundrel, I drowned people in the water." Haizhu hugged his arms and said, "Or do you want to use this thing to tie me up and be your military advisor?" Don't. ”

After the words came out, Han Ji also found it ridiculous, he was ridiculed, and immediately took back the jade pendant, "Okay, one day you promised to be my military advisor, and this piece of jade pendant is yours." ”

The three of them got on the boat, and Haizhu also closed the door.

*

Early the next morning, Han Ji and Shen Sui left by boat, Haizhu and others went to the dock when the tide receded, she first went to the medical center to take the prescription left by Dr. Mu to the medicine boy and asked him to grab the medicine, and find a doctor with a face to check the pulse while waiting.

"I haven't had my period since mid-July, doctor, look at what's wrong with me."

"Weak and cold, have you ever been seriously ill? Girl, you need to make up for it. The doctor who took the pulse looked at Haizhu's dress, the clothes were not bad, and there must be conditions at home, "Medicine is not as good as food supplement, I will prescribe a food prescription for you, you can grab some warm medicine and go back to stew soup and drink......"

There were more medicine bags than she imagined, in order to make it easier to carry, Haizhu went to Buzhuang and pulled a piece of cloth to wrap the medicine bag and carry it on her shoulder, and then went to buy two chickens, and gave Dongzhu and Fengping some food to go home.

There was not a boat on the sparkling river, and there were fishing children sitting by the river, and Haizhu rowed into the village only to find her grandmother standing by the river, I don't know how long I had been watching her.

Haizhu's scalp was numb, and she had goosebumps all over her body when she thought of the upcoming nagging, and she stretched out her head and shrank her head with a knife, she rowed the boat directly to her milk and stopped, and said confidently: "I'm going to get medicine for my second uncle." ”

"How much did it cost?" Grandma Qi couldn't help her, "You...... I guess that's the case. ”

"What kind of money do you talk about cure?" Haizhu took her medicine down, and threw an old hen on the shore with the rest of the baggage, "You don't need to give me the cloth, it's just enough to make clothes for Chaoping." ”

"This is the last time, whether it can be cured or not, it will end here, your second uncle also means this, and the rest of us will have to live." Seeing that Haizhu was about to pout again, Grandma Qi said softly: "Think about your third uncle, the burden was picked up by you, he was under a lot of pressure, I am afraid that he will throw his life into the sea in order to make money." ”

Haizhu nodded, at this time she thought that it would be good if one of her grandmother and her uncle liked to take advantage, but if this was the case, she didn't want to worry about it.

She picked up the oars and rowed, Dongzhu and Fengping fished and fed the turtles in front of their homes, and the turtles lay in a basin and put them by the river, and the turtle shells were exposed to the water to bask in the sun, and when they came to eat, they raised their heads from the water.

"Enjoy, old fellow, the wound on your claws is almost healed, when are you going to go back to the sea?" Haizhu squatted over and asked, the wound on the turtle's fin has grown new meat, which does not affect its movement at all, and it crawls out by itself when it comes out to bask in the sun and eat, and Dongzhu takes out the pot and climbs in again.

"Sister, don't let it go, I'll follow the wind to fish and feed it." Dongzhu begged, fishing and feeding turtles is much more fun than coaxing the tide.

"It's going to move, and now it can't move in the basin." Haizhu suspected that the big turtle wanted to lie down with the three of them, but she was not sure.

She slaughtered the chicken and stewed it in a clay pot, and instructed Dongzhu to wait for the chicken soup to simmer and pour the herbs into it, "I take the turtle out to sea, if it leaves, let him go, if you don't want to go, I'll bring it back." ”

Respect its choice, after all, it is only a life-saving tortoise.

The three siblings worked together to carry it onto the boat, and Haizhu took the turtle with her head on the boat out to sea, she jumped into the sea first, and then grabbed the side of the boat and fell the turtle down.

The turtle fell into the water and swam around the boat, and Haizhu didn't care about it, she dived into the sea and swam to the bottom of the sea, trying to find out which environment the blood eel was in.

Two seabirds plunged into the water one by one, their sharp claws cutting through the belly of the fish, and Haizhu clearly saw the process of turning blood from dark to light underwater.

The oncoming fish were frightened, and Haizhu took advantage of the chaos to open his net and intercept two. The fish that was almost arm-long, with the cold and hard texture of metal, she felt that this kind of fish looked familiar, and when she got out of the sea and pierced the swim bladder with a needle, she remembered that it was a bonito.

Bonito mostly like to float after sharks.

Haizhu thought about it, and once again dived into the sea and swam underwater.

The turtles circling around the boat followed her lightly, one by one and one under the water without direction.

As the net pocket gradually filled, Haizhu was ready to go back, and she looked at the turtle with a full stomach, and this guy was still following her.

"Let's go, come back with me." She tugged at it.

Chapter 28: Shark Sneak Attack

The turtles didn't get on board.

Haizhu climbed into the boat and wrung out his hair first, and said to let it be an old guy and wait, and when he raised his head when he curled his hair, he saw a turtle shell running through the bow of the boat. The turtle floats on the water, and its four fins are paddling in the water, getting farther and farther away from the boat, swimming in the direction they came.

Haizhu was so happy that she didn't make a sound, she brushed her hair over her shoulders, untied the sail and lifted it, judged the direction of the wind and adjusted the angle, and the boat followed the turtle and drove up.

Today is a small tide day, and the high tide is after lunch, when the sea is calm and the fishing boats are sliding slowly, always falling behind the turtles.

Turning into the river, Haizhu put away her sails, and the turtle swam in before her, and when she paddled to catch up, she could no longer see the turtle's shadow.

When she rowed the boat into the water in front of her house, she saw the old turtle stuck on the shore, and the turtle's fins were entangled in the aquatic weeds and could not move.

"Dongzhu, Fengping, come out and see." She shouted with a laugh.

"See what?" Dongzhu ran out first, "Caught a big fish?" ”

Haizhu pointed to the water and grass on the shore, "This guy actually knows the way, too, the sense of east-west direction in the sea should not be bad." It swam back on its own, and it didn't even sit on a boat, and it came back before me. ”

Dongzhu followed Feng Ping and hurriedly dragged the big turtle to the shore, and the two children circled around it, and the turtle ran into the house.

Haizhu shook her head and smashed the anchor into the earth, and the boat held her and jumped ashore with the bucket. The courtyard is full of fragrance, and the aroma of meat is mixed with a special smell, and the taste is refreshing and greasy.

The water in the basin was already hot, so Haizhu poured the fish into the tank with seawater and said to the child who was playing with the turtle, "Fengping will go out first, and the eldest sister is going to take a bath." ”

"I'll get you clothes." Dongzhu washed her hands and ran into the house, "Which one to wear?" The red ones are good-looking, the red ones are beautiful. ”

The clothes were placed on the stool, and she didn't wait for Haizhu to speak, and ran into the stove kitchen with a smoke, "Don't worry, I won't peek at you." ”

Haizhu chuckled, took off her wet clothes, scooped water with a scoop and poured it on her body, and the water droplets fell on the bluestone slab and splashed fine splashes, and finally gathered together and flowed through the gate along the flowing ditch and into the river.

The last scoop of water was poured on his hair, and Haizhu wrapped it in a cloth, put on his clothes, and shouted, "I have washed it, come in those who should come in, and come out if they want to come out." ”

Dongzhu and Fengping ran to the edge of the water tank one after another, and saw that there were two fish in it that they had never seen before, with few scales and a strange light on the skin. Dongzhu stirred up the fish with a stick and saw it more clearly, "Can this fish be eaten?" ”

"It should be able to eat, I'll take it to Aunt Wei later." Haizhu rubbed his clothes soaked in seawater, put them on a rope through two streams of water, and then, as the old doctor said, stood in the yard with his back to the sun, his hair dried, and his body sweated.

Fengping saw that he went into the house and poured a bowl of hot water out, and now the work of burning the fire at home is his, every time Haizhu holds the boat out to sea, he boils a can of boiling water, boils it, opens the lid and dries, and the person comes back just enough to drink.

"Sister, do you cook rice noodles or steam dry rice at noon?" Dongzhu asked.

"Let's boil rice noodles, you can drink more chicken broth."

"Then I'll take out the rice noodles and soak them."

No one in this family is lazy, the three sisters and brothers are all diligent, whether it is cooking and laundry, or scraping fish and killing chickens, but if one person has something to do, the other two will go over to help when they are idle.

Her hair was dry, Haizhu braided her long braids from the back of her head, and she listened to the muttering voices in the stove kitchen, and her heart was very peaceful. Dongzhu and Fengping are like two diligent little conchs, in the morning she went to sea, the young lady and brother swept the yard, flushed the sewage ditch, and went out to collect firewood when the house was tidy. With the two of them here, Haizhu doesn't worry about the family at all, she is sensible and diligent......

"Sister, open your mouth quickly." Dongzhu ran out with a chicken wing, "The chicken has been stewed and raked, you can taste it." ”

Well, it's still an intimate little padded jacket.

Haizhu chewed chicken wings and carried a bonito to Zheng's house, Wei Jinhua was cooking, and her two sons were bathing and swimming in the river, which was not as good as being calm and sensible.

"Aunt Wei, do you know this fish? Can you eat it? Haizhu stood at the door and asked.

"Yes, you've eaten it, but you may not remember it. When you were two or three years old, your father and your Uncle Zheng cast a net and caught seven or eight of them. This thing is meat firewood, and the fishy smell is still big, so it is suitable for salted fish. ”

"As long as I can eat it, I'll marinate it when I eat later." Haizhu saw that there was no firewood in the stove, she turned around and walked out, "Aunt Wei, you cook, I'll go back." ”

When she got home, Dongzhu had already cooked the rice noodles, Haizhu threw the bonito into the water tank, she poured out the chicken soup stewed in the crockpot, scooped half a bowl of rice noodles by one person, scooped two spoonfuls of chicken soup and two spoons of chicken, and served it to the table.

There are red dates and wolfberries in the medicinal materials of stewed chicken, the chicken soup is sweet, the red dates are also stewed and raked, the jujube meat is thick, Haizhu likes to eat it, and even for the sake of good health, she chewed the medicinal materials that stewed together.

"Sister, I like to eat this kind of dish." Dongzhu hints.

"From now on, I will stew canned meat every day at noon, that is, you two have to pick up more firewood." Haizhu also likes it, and after drinking a bowl of soup, he sweats, which is different from the feeling of sunbathing, and his body is much more comfortable when he sweats.

"I'll go collect firewood after dinner." Fengping said.

Haizhu smiled, "Stupid or not? I'll go again when it's cooler. ”

Cooking does not wash the dishes, after the meal, Haizhu cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, grabbed the grass ash from under the stove and smeared the bowl, rubbed off the oil star and washed the water to clean it.

The bonito in the water tank was out of breath and floated from the bottom of the tank to the surface of the water, and Haizhu took off the scissors that scraped the fish scales from the wall, and scooped up five or six catties of sea fish and put them in the basin. When the fish is half-dead, it is best to scrape the scales, and no matter how you toss, you will not swing your tail.

Cut open the belly of the fish, the bright red fish meat was exposed with the blade, Haizhu was stunned for a moment, if it was not covered with fish skin, this kind of fish meat looked no different from pork tenderloin, very fresh red, and the meat was quite elastic.

Haizhu cleaned up the contents of the fish's belly, scooped half a scoop of water and washed it, looking at the tender raw fish, she was a little reluctant to pickle, it was too bad.

When Dongzhu and Fengping came back with a bundle of branches, they saw a plate of raw meat on the dining table when they entered the door.

Haizhu mixed the sauce, and she beckoned: "Wash your hands quickly, I have figured out a new way to eat it, let's try it." ”

The sashimi is cut into thin slices and has a kind of crystal clear beauty, and the bright red color is lighter, which is a color that cannot be dyed by any pigment, and I can't remember the fishy smell when I look at this color.

Haizhu first took two slices and dipped them in the sauce to taste, she went in and poured a small spoonful of vinegar into it, mixed well, and tasted it again.

"It's okay, you two can taste it."

People who live by the sea have a strong ability to accept the smell of fish, and both Dongzhu and Fengping can accept this taste, but they don't like to eat it, and they don't move after eating only two bites.

"It's a little bit new, if you encounter it again next time, I'll give it back to the film." Haizhu didn't eat much, and half a plate of fish fillets went into the mouth of the big sea turtle.

She salted the remaining half-bonito and pressed it in a basin filled with water after salting.

After the afternoon nap, a layer of water poured out of the pot of the pickled fish, and the already tight bonito became harder, and Haizhu took a rope through the fish's mouth and tied a live buckle to hang it in the yard to dry.

"I'm going to sea, don't cook porridge at night, I'll come back to cook." Haizhu explained to Dongzhu, she poured the turtle out of the basin, "I will take the turtle to the sea to find food, you two don't go to the river, want to swim in the water and wait for me at home." ”
