"How much money a pound?" Haizhu asked.

"Two texts."

Haizhu shook her head, she was sorry for her effort when she sold it at this price.

The vendors didn't bother with it, and the last thing that was missing from the docks was these things.

Haizhu didn't know if her mother had gone to catch squid and squid, thinking that Yu Laishun didn't have a boat, she grabbed some more stuffed nets from the bucket and said, "Milk, you wait here for my third uncle to come over, and I'll send some to my mother." ”

"Okay, send her more, her family doesn't have a boat, and she has to spend money to buy seafood."

Haizhu asked Dongzhu and Fengping if they were going, and the sisters and brothers shook their heads together, they only met yesterday.

Qin Jingniang got off the boat before the high tide and came back, when she came back, she cut two catties of pork ribs from the street, and when she got home, she started to cook on the fire, and she didn't notice the movement outside.

Yu's family dog was sleeping outside the courtyard wall when he heard footsteps barking at Haizhu.

"Mother?" Haizhu shouted, "Is Pingsheng here?" Come out and drive the dog for me. As he said that, he threw a squid over, and the yellow-haired dog took two steps back in fright, and his bark became more and more ferocious.

Pingsheng ran out, Qin Jingniang followed him, carrying a stick in her hand to beat the dog, "Han braincase, I don't know anyone in my own house." ”

"My uncle isn't home?" Haizhu walked into the yard, and as she entered the door, there was a fishy smell in the yard.

"When I came back, he went out, the goods were sold out, and he went to contact the ship."

Haizhu poured all the things in the net pocket into the basin and said, "I'm just here to send you something, and it's enough to eat for more than half a year after it's dried." You're busy, I'm going back, and there's still a lot of room to be cleaned up. ”

I only saw it yesterday, Qin Jingniang didn't leave her to eat, and when she was sent out, she saw the yellow-haired dog munching on squid, she scolded and said: "Eat Han Chang, next time I will scream and starve you twice." ”

"Did my uncle tell it in private?" Haizhu laughed and teased.

Qin Jingniang smiled, "Maybe so." She also knew Yu Laishun's thoughts, he wanted to be close to her other three children and was guarded, she could only rejoice that he was too sick to give birth, and a man who had his own children could not accept the children brought by his wife.

Haizhu met Yu Laishun on the way back, he enthusiastically called her to go to the house for dinner, Haizhu refused and let her go over to play more, "I'm not often at home, you three sisters and brothers have nothing to do, come over and talk to your mother." ”

"Okay." Haizhu responded.

Walking on the road, the smell of fish in the wind is particularly strong, and many people on the road who carry water from the sea walk into the alleys, and every household is cleaning up the fish they have caught with their doors open.

Qi Laosan just picked two buckets of seawater and came back, and he was busy sitting in the yard chopping bamboo, and Second Uncle Qi also took a knife to split the bamboo into thin strips, and when he saw Haizhu coming back, he looked up and continued to work.

"Come back, are you cooking or am I cooking?" Grandma Qi asked.

"I'll cook, stew rice in a pot, stir-fry vegetables and stir-fry squid?" Haizhu put down the net pocket and washed her hands, "These are all sunburned?" ”

Grandma Qi nodded, "There will be dry goods merchants to collect them, and the price is much more expensive than wet goods." ”

Haizhu went to make a fire first, added water to the pot, washed the vegetable leaves on the water grate for washing rice, and when Dongzhu came in with a basket of squid when peeling the onion and washing ginger, the internal organs in the head were taken out, leaving two thin layers of skin.

Haizhu smelled it, the fishy smell was heavy and the umami smell was also heavy, they were all just dead, and she picked a few smaller ones to burn.

While she was in control of the rice, she scooped a scoop of rice soup alone, put it until it was warm, and threw the squid that was ready to boil into it to soak. She first stir-fried the green vegetables, and then stir-fried the squid when the green vegetables got out of the pot, the squid meat was tender, and the green onions, ginger and garlic were stir-fried, and then poured into the squid slices and walked around the oil pot twice before they were put on the plate.

"Is the meal ready?" Fengping probe came in and asked.

"Alright, let's wash our hands and set the table." The pot was cleaned, Haizhu scooped the scoop of cold water into it and covered the pot, she adjusted half a bowl of sauce in the gap of boiling water, mixed the sweet wine with old vinegar, scooped a spoonful of autumn oil and stirred while pouring, and stopped when it was salty.

"There's smoke in the pot, what else are you going to cook?" Grandma Qi came in and asked.

"Cook a few more squid, and you serve the rice first." The squid soaked in the rice soup was uncovered from the bottom of the pot and put it in the boiling water, and the boiling level came to a halt, and in an instant it began to bubble again, and the surface of the water also foamed white.

Without covering the pot, boiling two rolls of squid in boiling water is cooked, Haizhu picked it up with chopsticks and put it on a plate, went out with the sauce bowl, and said, "Okay, let's eat." ”

The whole family is hungry, and when everyone sits down, they serve a bowl of rice, and the squid fillet is especially delicious, tender and fresh, chewing the juice in the mouth, and the rice grains that are picked into the mouth together are dyed with umami.

Haizhu takes a boiled squid and dips it in the sauce, acetic acid masks the fishy smell, and the light wine flavor is particularly appetizing. She pondered when she went to sea one day and caught live squid cooked and eaten, which was definitely the time when the fishy smell was lightest and the umami was the strongest.

After eating a full stomach and continuing to work, the cleaned squid, squid and octopus are thrown into the aisle water in the seawater, and the seafood is best marinated in the seawater.

Bamboo sticks are propped up on the squid, tied with ropes and hung on bamboo poles to dry, the dripping sea water is drained first, the salty taste is dried into the meat, the juice in the meat is marinated, and then stuck to the tentacles in the scorching sun.

The squid is large and hangs on a pole alone, and the octopus is the smallest, and it is the first to dry up and shrank in the sun, and when the sun sets, it is already two or three percent dry.

After a busy afternoon, I transferred the contents of the bucket to the bamboo pole, and when it was dark, I was busy carrying the bamboo pole into the house, and Haizhu swept the flies and mosquitoes on the ground and buzzed around the minced meat and internal organs, thinking that as soon as the sun came out tomorrow, the yard would be fishy and smelly.

It was dark, Qi Laosan was pushed out by her and the car, he pushed the car to the river to fetch water, washed the yard overnight, and kept muttering that she was blind.

"What fisherman's yard doesn't smell fishy? Growing up by the sea, you still dislike it. ”

Haizhu ignored him, he muttered to him, she should call or call, and when the morning dawned, he asked him to move the octopus squid and squid hanging from the bamboo pole to the restaurant next door to dry, otherwise she would be buried in the salted fish pile in her dreams.

Grandma Qi pouted, and when Haizhu was not at home, she said to her second son: "This is up to her mother, and her mother is also a dislike of fishy smell." "For the sake of cleanliness at home, I would rather throw away the dead fish than dry the salted fish.

As soon as seventy or eighty percent of the dried squid and squid were dried, the dried goods dealers knocked on the door of the door with a wooden cart to receive the goods. Yu Laishun also started this business, he asked Haizhu to ask her to pull a line, and the squid and squid and octopus in Bluestone Lane were taken away by him.

Haizhu left ten catties of dried squid, she pondered to cut into strips and then marinate and then fry to see if it could become a dish, if it could be done, she continued to go to the sea to catch squid and squid, these days there are more or less dead squid floating on the sea.

There are five dolphins, and they always find the freshest, and she can catch a lot of them by following her to pick up the spills.

When it is dried in the sea, it is marinated in seawater, and when it is soaked, it is also salted with seawater, and the dry and hard squid is thrown into the seawater, and the sea beads are pressed in two large bowls, and then they begin to ponder the marinade.

There is less dried meat for squid, and the soup will not taste as strong as braised pork, so the bottom soup will have to work hard, and the taste will cover the taste of the squid if it is heavy, and the taste will not be suppressed if the taste is light. In the end, she went to the street to buy a small tender chicken to boil the soup first, and then served it with dried abalone to enhance the freshness, which not only has the flavor of meat but also retains the umami.

The dried squid is soaked, and the sea pearl is first sliced and thrown in, and then thrown into the marinade packet.

Feng Ping saw her put on the lid of the pot, and asked while picking up the tongs, "Sister, do you want to burn a big fire or a small fire?" ”

"The fire boils, and the low heat boils slowly." Haizhu sat on the side and looked at him, pulling a branch in his hand, and asked casually, "Do you want to learn to read?" ”

Feng Ping shook his head, he was very busy, and he didn't have time to learn that thing.

"Be careful if you don't read and write, and you will become stupid and be deceived by others." Haizhu said.

"You are illiterate, and there are no fools in our family."

Chapter 78: Humans and dolphins kill moray eels

Haizhu smiled when she heard what he said, and stopped asking him, at his age, he didn't have to consider his opinion.

"You look at the fire, I'll go out." She said.

"Okay." The wind calmed down.

Haizhu went out of the alley and went to Shen's house, Shen Sui hadn't come back yet, she went directly to Shen's mother, she didn't go around in circles, and said directly: "Uncle, I heard that the sixth brother said that the Shen family has a private school?" ”

Mother Shen nodded, she heard the sound and knew what she meant, "But you want your little brother to come and learn literacy from the old man?"

"Yes, there is this plan, it is not a matter for him to follow me every day to set up a stall and burn a fire, he still has to know some words and understand some reason, and he has his own ideas when he grows up." Haizhu doesn't want to be like her third uncle in the future, obedient and obedient, but she has less assertiveness and courage, and she wants to hide when there are more people, which is not good.

"I don't expect him to get ahead by reading, and he can't leave all the family affairs to me, I mean let him come over in the afternoon to read and read with the old gentleman, and see how he thinks about it later." Haizhu said.

"Okay, I'll talk to your uncle in the evening, and you can bring him over tomorrow afternoon." The Shen family raised an old gentleman at home, and only taught their own children and grandchildren, Shen's mother had similar ideas to Haizhu, and did not expect her children and grandchildren to do much on the way to the scientific examination, but only expected them to read and reason, have their own opinions, and not be afraid to go out, and not be afraid to see people.

"Can a girl be allowed in a private school? You know, I have a younger sister. Haizhu smiled embarrassedly, compared to Fengping, she felt that Dongzhu was more suitable for reading and cultivating her sex, Dongzhu suddenly broke her father at a half-ignorant age, and her temperament was a little sharp, and it was easy to drill the horns of the bull in the future.

"Okay, my grandchildren all go to private school together." Mother Shen smiled, so that her sister could also come to read, she glanced at Haizhu.

Haizhu breathed a sigh of relief, "sigh" and said: "I'm not very good at teaching children, Dongzhu and Fengping are disciplined by an old gentleman, and I'm also relaxed." ”

As she was talking, Shen's second sister-in-law came over, she came in and said, "I came back from outside, and I smelled the fragrance when I passed by Qingshi Lane, is it Haizhu What are you stewing again?" ”

"The scent is out? Then I'll have to go back and see, uncle, I'll come to see you another day. ”

"Don't change the day, what's the stew? Bring me a bowl when it's out of the pot. ”

Haizhu answered loudly and ran out quickly.

"A young girl is lively, like a fish jumping around." Shen's second sister-in-law sighed.

Haizhu trotted all the way, turned into the alley and smelled the fragrance, it was a kind of incense that could not be distinguished, not like stewed meat or stewed fish, and the people sitting in the alley asked her what she had made.

"Keep it a secret first, and if it's delicious, I'll open a restaurant to sell it." Haizhu strode back.

Dongzhu has come back, there is a bundle of fresh leeks and wild onions in the yard, and now most of the work on the stall is taken over by her, cutting leeks and selecting leeks to wash leeks, getting up early to go to the beach to pry oysters are all she is doing, mixing stuffing She is also busy with her, she will also make noodles, just wait for Haizhu to lose her hand She will take over.

"Sister, where have you been?" Dongzhu asked.

"I went to Shen's house, you follow Fengping and go to Shen's private school every afternoon from tomorrow to read and write with the old gentleman."

Feng Ping pouted when he heard this, "I don't want to go, you don't know how to read, eldest sister." ”

"I can't read, because I'm too busy earning money to learn." Haizhu lifted the lid of the pot, waited for the white smoke to dissipate, she looked into the pot, and continued: "You two are young now, and if you don't go to school, you are playing crazy in the alley, wasting time, I can't get used to it." ”

Fengping hummed.

"I'll hit you again." Haizhu glared at him, then softened his voice and said, "You go to study with your second sister, and when you come back in the evening, you will teach me and Chaoping." ”

Feng Ping thought about that scene and happily agreed.

As for Dongzhu, her attention is all in the pot, she doesn't care about reading or writing, she doesn't have any ideas, her sister wants her to study, then she will go.

The blue-black dried squid stewed and gelatinous after being stewed, but it was full of toughness, and it couldn't be poked with chopsticks, Haizhu fished up a piece and put it on the plate, and then scooped three bowls of soup up to dry, she wasn't sure if the marinated squid was delicious, but this soup was definitely delicious.

The door opened, and Grandma Qi pushed Second Uncle Qi back, she smelled the fragrance and said, "What's the toss?" It smells delicious. ”

Haizhu took a knife to cut the squid meat, cut the slices into strips, she tasted one herself first, chewing like beef tendons, tough and elastic.

Dongzhu chewed a bowl and took a sip of soup, saying, "It's still more suitable for stewed soup." ”

Haizhu didn't believe in evil, she scooped up all the marinated squid, scooped up the soup and planned to cook the noodles at night to eat.

Grandma Qi saw that she was cutting and drying, shook her head and said, "If you continue to dry it, it can be used as a rope, and dogs can't chew it." ”

"I'm just drying out." Haizhu stood in the courtyard with chopsticks and pulled the fragrant squid meat strips, just like Dongzhu said, this thing is suitable for making soup, and she can throw two seasonings when she stews the soup later.

The sunset on the horizon faded in color, and Haizhu shouted Fengping to burn the fire, "Burn a small fire, a small fire throughout the whole process." ”

"Okay."

As soon as the oil is warm, throw a handful of sugar cubes into it, pour vinegar after the sugar melts, and as soon as the vinegar is poured down, there is a sound in the oil pot, and a stream of oil smoke comes out, and the palm of the pot swallows saliva together.

Haizhu laughed twice, dipped her chopsticks in sweet and sour sauce to taste the taste, and then poured a bowl of water into it, the brown-red water bubbling under the scorching flames.

Dongzhu lay on the stove and looked carefully, saw her pour another spoonful of bean flour water into it, and asked what this meant.

"Juice-filling." Haizhu tasted it again, poured a spoonful of soy sauce and stirred it open, then grabbed half of the squid strips and threw them into the pot, stirred evenly, and the meat strips were coated with a layer of amber broth.

Sprinkle sesame seeds before cooking, which is very good-looking.

"Serve it out and eat it, and I'll take the rest myself." Haizhu rushed out with Dongzhu and Fengping, she wanted to fry a spicy one, onions, ginger and garlic are indispensable, the most important thing is peppercorns, peppercorns just entered the oil pot, and the people in the yard pinched their noses and ran out.

The neighbor next door sneezed and shouted through the courtyard wall: "Haizhu, you hurt people!" ”
