"Ham and scallops, my sister didn't eat the scallops from Haidilao yesterday, and if they continue to raise them, they will die, so I will open them." Dongzhu put a bowl of porridge for everyone and said, "Tonight is the food I cooked, and the milk will give me a beating, you can taste whether it is delicious or not." ”

"It's all better than what I make." Grandma Qi came out with a conch, she smiled and said, "I make the most unpalatable, you all learn from Haizhu, don't let me cook in the future, no matter how undelicious it is, I won't dislike it." ”

"I want to eat chicken, I'll buy two chickens tomorrow morning for Dongzhu to send back, and you'll be watching the fire at home." Haizhu said.

Grandma Qi had a meal on noodles, "Just buy one, you can't eat two." ”

Dongzhu laughed, "I don't dislike unpalatable milk, but she promises to dislike expensive milk." ”

Everyone else laughed, even Grandma Qi laughed, and after laughing, she said, "You can't patronize your mouth, all the money you earn is stuck in your mouth." ”

"People live with one mouth, and only those who eat are their own." Haizhu began to teach the old lady, "You forgot what I told you before? Money is not brought to life or death, don't take it too seriously, making money is to live well, and if you can't eat well, it's a good life. ”

Feng Ping nodded heavily, his eldest sister was right. He nodded, and Chaoping also nodded, his chin going into the porridge bowl.

Dongzhu chewed the snail meat and frowned and thought about it, and she didn't figure it out until she finished eating, and went in to wash the dishes with ease.

Qi Laosan was pounding peanuts, sesame seeds and soybeans under the lantern, Haizhu was cutting garlic on the other side, and the two knocks came and went, and the people who sat in the alley at night and talked looked over from time to time, lowered their heads and whispered.

"Fengping, go and bring me the sugar cube I bought today." Haizhu glanced at the wooden barrel, and then asked Fengping to throw the sugar cube into it, "Keep smashing, the sugar is fresh." ”

When the moon climbed up the eaves, Haizhu brought out three clay pots and asked Fengping to burn the stove. Peanut sesame soybean paste is divided into three clay pots, three scoops of oil are poured into it, one of which is fried green onion pepper oil, and the last jar she added three spoons of crab sauce into it, stirred and opened the salt and wine, and sealed the altar.

"Sister, do you still burn oil?" Fengping asked.

"Low heat, I'll fry some minced garlic." Pour minced garlic into cold oil, fry slowly over low heat, the oil is hot but not smoking, Haizhu keeps stirring the minced garlic with a spoon, and Kuafengping's grasp of the heat is becoming more and more accurate.

Grandma Qi and Dongzhu put away the shells that dried the water vapor, and the two walked over to look, "It's about to be fried?" I'm going to boil the bath water? ”

"Okay."

Grandma Qi went into the kitchen to boil water, and Qi Laosan carried three jars of sauce into the firewood room, which was close to the bathroom and was cool inside.

"Okay, no need to light the fire." Haizhu scooped a spoonful of salt into a saucepan, stirred it open, covered it, and left it to be canned overnight and tomorrow morning.

"I'm finally busy, I've been busy for half a month today, so let's wash and sleep."

The lanterns in the yard were extinguished, the chimney on the top of the kitchen was no longer smoking, the door creaked shut, and there was a snoring in the outermost room. Haizhu and the others slept, and several families close to her house got up in the middle of the night to light the fire and cook.

"Who?" The patrolling guard drew his shoulder knife and looked at the figure as he hurried out of the alley.

"I have a household registration, I'm not a bandit, I'm going to find a restaurant to eat." The person who came took out the household registration, "Official, which restaurant and tavern on the street is still open?" ”

"The lights are still on in the Changming Tavern."

"Hey, I'll go."

When the guards walked into the alley, from the end of the alley to the end of the alley, the wisps of oil and garlic seemed to stick to the clothes and grow in the nose.

*

In the morning, Haizhu pushed the cart to set up a stall to sell cakes, and when he got closer, he found that the Changming Tavern had not yet opened, and the lanterns outside the door still had a faint light, and there were two drunks outside the tavern, and there were a few paralyzed in the alley.

Haizhu glanced at the filth in the corner of the wall, and pushed the cart to take Dongzhu and Fengping to another place to set up a stall.

Selling bread until the rising sun, going back to cut leeks, taking the old turtle to the sea to hunt, a full morning passed.

"I'm out on the boat to fish." After the meal, Qi Laosan smacked his lips and went out.

Haizhu slept for half an hour before taking the old turtle out with a wooden cart, Grandma Qi sat outside the door with a sewing basket and sat outside the door to collect the soles of her shoes, she first greeted the neighbor, and then said to her grandmother: "I went out to fish." ”

"Okay, don't go to the deep sea."

"When will Haizhu set up a stall tonight?" Neighbor Grandma asked.

"The sun is setting, I'm not sure. By the way, milk, let Dongzhu cook a pot of porridge with the leftover chicken broth in the evening, and put more green cabbage leaves in it. ”

"Okay."

When the people left, the neighbor's grandmother said to Grandma Qi: "Your grandchildren are capable and filial, and you are blessed, old sister." By the way, her mother has never seen her here, and I heard that she lives in the village outside the town, not far away. ”

"She is also busy at home, the man is running business outside, and she has a child to take care of, where can she be free." Grandma Qi never said bad things about her ex-daughter-in-law outside, even if someone wanted to stir up trouble, she didn't pick up the stubble and didn't give outsiders a chance to see jokes.

After collecting a sole, Grandma Qi was about to go into the house to get the upper of the shoe, and just as she was about to get up, she heard the person sitting at the head of the alley say, "Jing Niang, have you come to see the child?" Is this your youngest son? Follow the wind and look like it. ”

Grandma Qi raised her head and said to the person sitting idle with a smile: "This person doesn't talk casually, okay, I won't tell you, my house is a visitor." ”

"Mother." Qin Jingniang shouted with a smile, "Pingsheng called grandma." ”

Pingsheng looked at the old man strangely, and shouted milk in a flat tone, and it could be seen that he had been told.

Feng Ping heard a sound in the yard and ran out, and one of them swooped over and hugged his mother.

Pingsheng is not happy anymore, and wants to push him.

"Come into the house and talk, come into the house with the milk, and the milk will cook chicken for you to eat." Grandma Qi stopped the little grandson's movements in time, and half-pulled and half-dragged the person into the yard.

Qin Jingniang came to deliver clothes, three children and a nephew, and all four children have a set of clothes.

Dongzhu went into the house and rummaged through, and found more than a dozen longan, her family had good food, and rarely bought snacks, so she took it and peeled it to feed Pingsheng.

Grandma Qi brought out the leftover chicken hot at noon and asked if she would eat it in her life.

"I'll eat." Shiohei walked over and opened his mouth.

"I'll eat it too." Pingsheng said.

Grandma Qi gave a bowl of chicken to her two grandsons, and said to Qin Jingniang: "Haizhu is going to sea on a boat, if you want to see her, come over in the morning, go to the street, she is still selling cakes." ”

"I know." Qin Jingniang went to see when she went shopping on the street, and the three children were too busy to talk, so she didn't bother. I came in the afternoon to bring my youngest son to play with his brother and sister and cousin, and the child who was less than two years old was not sensible and did not remember, and no matter how much others told him, it was not worth the affection with his playmate.

Growing up together, they won't be fooled by outsiders when they grow up.

At this time, Haizhu has already dived to the bottom of the sea with the old turtle, this time she doesn't pick, she catches what she sees, the big crab eats by itself, the prawns with a long index finger can make soup, the squid is sold on the stall, and the scallops can be poured with garlic and steamed.

When I went to the sea in a different place, Haizhu saw a long strip like a cigarette pipe again... Fish, I don't know if it's a fish, it's orange all over, if it weren't for the bones, she would have thought it was a sea snake. She quietly took out her net bag and approached it, taking advantage of their inattention.

The old turtle came over with a sea urchin in his mouth, and Haizhu used an iron rake to pry it open, and when she saw a school of fish passing by, she knocked a few sea urchins from the reef, and then threw them out with a neat movement, and the passing fish turned around and lifted the sea urchin up like a kick and threw it down.

The fish is very fat, but Haizhu only looks at it and doesn't use her hands, it is easy to catch it in the net, but it is difficult to get on the boat, and she might as well go to the dock to buy it if she wants to get grilled fish.

On the other hand, if someone imitates her to set up a night stall, the cheap and easily available marine fish should be the best choice, and she will not compete.

A stream of muddy water came out of the reef, and Haizhu swam over, and saw the shrimp whiskers emerging from the cracks in the reef, and she pulled the shrimp whiskers out, and the head of a lobster was exposed.

The lobster went into the net, and Haizhu began to pry the abalone on the reef, hiding in the water and grass She almost missed.

In the evening, I make fried noodles with crab roe and abalone, fried noodles with crab meat sauce, garlic vermicelli, and garlic shrimp.

What you sell at night depends on what you catch in the sea.

Chapter 55: Eating Fish Like a Crab

"Mother, Haizhu is back!"

As soon as she entered the alley, she heard a shout, Haizhu's stroller paused, and saw the children playing in the alley looking at her with fiery eyes, she looked at her own door in the alley, turned her eyes and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

"It's okay, go back quickly, they're the worms in their stomachs." The young woman who was pulled out by the child looked helpless and said to Haizhu: "Go back and take a hot bath, don't get angry." ”

Haizhu probably understood, the smile on her face became brighter and brighter, and she said to the child who was staring at her, "I've packed it up and let Fengping call you." ”

"We're just waiting here." The toothy little girl said.

Dongzhu heard the sound of talking and ran out of the door to take a look, and quickly shrank back into the courtyard, and said to Fengping: "Hurry up and burn the fire, my sister is back." ”

When Haizhu walked to the door, green smoke rose from the chimney, Dongzhu and Grandma Qi came to help her unload the cart, and the old turtle climbed into the puddle by himself.

"Your mother brought Pingsheng over to play for half an hour in the afternoon, and your clothes were ready, and she brought them to you." Grandma Qi took the initiative to mention, "She still has to cook at night, so she didn't wait for you to come back." ”

"It's okay, it's not like you can't see each other for a year and a half, and you have to meet everyone once you meet. The two families live close to each other, so it's convenient for her to come over, and I can go to see her when I'm free. Haizhu untied the hairband, took the comb and smoothed her hair, and continued: "Although I said that the two families should be relatives, I don't have to pay attention to etiquette like relatives, and I won't blame her for leaving without waiting for me to come back." ”

"That's okay, another day, when it's empty, you take Dongzhu and Fengping over to have a look, pick up some things, and stay for a meal before leaving."

Haizhu nodded, it doesn't matter if he stays for dinner or not, he really should go.

"The water is smoking." Feng Ping shouted.

Dongzhu was going to scoop up the water, but Haizhu didn't let her, afraid that she would burn herself. She scooped two scoops of hot water and two scoops of cold water, and took them to the yard to rinse the seawater off her hair first.

Qi Ah Grandma and Dong Zhu sat in a corner of the yard to clean the fish, no need to scrape the scales, no need to clean the belly, only abalone and scallops are not troublesome.

"Sister, what is this?" Dongzhu turned around and saw that there was no one in the yard, so she walked to the door of the bathroom with something like a bamboo pole and asked, "Sister, what is this slender thing?" ”

"Don't move!" Haizhu was so shocked that she almost stepped on the basin, "You didn't move, did you?" She had forgotten about it.

"Is it toxic?" Dongzhu hurriedly threw away the things in her hand, careful of her liver jumping, she comforted herself and said, "If you didn't bite me, you should be fine." ”

"What's poisonous?" Second Uncle Qi pushed the cart out of the house, and a writhing thing at Dongzhu's feet was particularly conspicuous, he was stunned at first, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it clearly, "This thing can be eaten, it is not poisonous." ”

Haizhu had already opened the door with her clothes on, she came out in a hurry, she didn't have time to wipe the water on her body, her short shirt was stained with water and stuck to her body, and she was a little twisted. She didn't care about this, so she took her sister's hand and examined it carefully, and when she saw that there were no wounds or bite marks, she picked up the pipe fish that was trapped in the dust and swallowed her breath.

"It's really not poisonous? Second uncle, have you seen it? ”

"Well, I used to see when I went to the dock with your father to sell fish, and the fishermen in other villages caught it longer than a person, and they were bought when they came ashore, and they were sold for eight taels. This thing should be difficult to salvage, and I've seen it once in years. Second Uncle Qi is an experienced old fisherman, he knows a lot, he saw this new thing, and asked Haizhu to show him, "How many have you caught?" ”

"Three of a kind." Haizhu asked Grandma Qi if the other two were still alive.

"Live, take it out and sell it." Grandma Qi selected two cigarette pipes and put them in a separate basin, "We will eat the dead one ourselves, and we will sell these two ones." ”

As he was talking, Qi Laosan hurriedly ran in from outside, and when he saw that everyone was there, he sighed, "Catch up, I'm still worried that I'll come back late." All packed? I'll load up the truck and set up the stall. ”

"Skipping meals? Eat first, and then go to the stall when you have food in your stomach. When Haizhu entered the kitchen, he saw the cooked porridge on the stove.

Qi Laosan glanced at her twice, as if he was afraid that she would be angry, and said with a little caution: "When I came back, I saw that there were already people on the street, and the stalls had been set up, and they were also iron plates and iron frames. ”

"This ......" Grandma Qi was anxious, "This is a business robbery, blatantly bullying us is from outside, Haizhu, do you want to go to Shen Liuye to talk about it, it's too bullying." ”

"Oh, what does it have to do with whether it's a foreigner, I thought of it when I set up a stall, and someone will definitely follow suit when business is good. We don't have to find anyone, we do ours, they do theirs, and our family can't bring the whole dock people over to buy our things. Haizhu carried the bucket over, scooped up two pipes of fish and put them in the bucket, and said, "Milk, you wash and chop that one into sections, I'll come back and fry it, and then we'll eat." ”

Grandma Qi ignored it, and was still muttering: "It's just bullying us because we are outsiders without the help of our clansmen, and we lose the battle first when we quarrel and fight." ”

"Haizhu, when will we set up a stall, we are still waiting." The sister-in-law who was chatting on the side of the road immediately came to her senses when she saw people coming out.

"I'm going to buy two bundles of rice noodles, and I'll make fried noodles with crab roe and crab meat tonight, sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll designate a few for you."

"Yo, what are you mentioning?" Seeing a touch of red in the bucket, she took a closer look, and hurriedly asked her if she wanted to sell it, "Don't sell it, I'll buy it, my second girl gave birth to a baby, and I don't know what to take to make up for her." ”

"Firepipe fish? It is good for a woman who has given birth to a doll to eat this, to replenish qi and blood. Someone approached, reached out and stirred it in the bucket, and said, "It's alive, it's not very common." ”

The name of the species in the sea is all based on color and shape, and the color of the smoke pipe fish is like a flame, some people call it the fire pipe fish, and some people call it a fire pipe.

Haizhu said no, "Next time I catch it, I will sell it to you first, and this time I will take it as a gift." ”
