Chapter 21 Luoluo is really a lucky star

Su Luo and Jiang Xiaoliu returned to the Jiang family yard carrying the bamboo urn.

"grandmother!"

Jiang Xiaoliu shouted, and Yao Guixiang in the room heard their shouts and hurriedly lifted the curtain and came out.

"Oh, you guys are so hot and sweaty. Hurry up and go to the well to wash your faces and come inside to cool down."

Yao Guixiang asked them to put down the bamboo jar and took a look inside. "Wow, we caught quite a lot."

"Well, these bamboo jars are all caught by me, and that one was caught by my dad." After Jiang Xiaoliu washed his face with water, he ran back to show off his achievements.

"Your dad? Didn't your dad go to work in the kiln factory?" Yao Guixiang asked curiously.

"My dad didn't go today. He went shrimp fishing with us..."

Jiang Xiaoliu started talking and soon told everything that had happened.

Su Luo came back after washing her face and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, grandma. It's because of me that Fourth Uncle has no time to go to town to work."

Yao Guixiang smiled and took Su Luo's wrist, pulling her into the house. "It's okay. Your uncle does odd jobs. You can go anytime. It doesn't matter if you don't go. Come on, come in and have a rest. Grandma will turn on the electric fan for you. Then have some watermelon."

Yao Guixiang, who usually saves electricity, now took out the Great Wall electric fan given by her eldest son and uses it specifically to blow air for her two children.

Su Luo felt very happy as she felt the cool and comfortable breeze and ate the sweet and delicious watermelon.

"The lobster needs to be processed. I'll do it now."

Yao Guixiang brought in the bamboo jar, found a large basin, and poured out all the lobsters.

The lobsters in this season are very fat, plump, bright red in color, and have more meat.

The most important thing is that the water resources in the 1980s were clean and pollution-free, and ditch water could be used directly to wash rice and vegetables. The wild lobsters grown in such water quality tasted the best and were also healthy to eat.

"What kind does Luoluo want to eat? Do you want to eat just the meat from the buttocks, or keep the head as well?" Yao Guixiang asked Su Luo.

"Grandma, just cut off the lobster's eyes and spines, and then remove the shrimp thread from its butt." Su Luo thought about how to process crayfish and told her.

"OK!"

Yao Guixiang moved quickly and found a pair of scissors to start cleaning the lobster.

She specifically picked out the big lobsters and filled most of the enamel basin. When she thought it was almost done, Yao Guixiang took it to the well and washed it clean.

Because her granddaughter wanted to eat spicy food, Yao Guixiang went to the vegetable garden and picked some red peppers.

In the evening, Yao Guixiang started to cook spicy crayfish, adding more garlic and chili peppers. When the crayfish came out of the pot, the whole kitchen was filled with fragrance.

"Wow, Grandma, the lobster smells so good!"

Jiang Xiaoliu lay over the pot, looking inside, his mouth watering with greed.

Use the aluminum basin usually used for kneading dough to hold the lobsters, filling up a large basin.

Jiang Xiaoliu couldn't help but reach out to grab the lobster, but Yao Guixiang slapped the back of his hand, "Don't take it, be careful of the heat!"

It was indeed very hot, and Xiaoliu kept shaking his hands.

Yao Guixiang brought out a large basin of lobsters and placed it on the wooden table in the yard. She called out to Su Luo, "Luoluo, come quickly. Grandma has prepared the spicy crayfish you requested."

"Here comes grandma."

Su Luo ran out of the house and saw a large bowl of lobsters on the table. They were bright red and decorated with red peppers, minced white garlic and chopped green onions. The aroma was overwhelming.

“It smells so good!”

"Eat it quickly! Eat it while it's hot! Try to see if what grandma cooked suits your taste?" Yao Guixiang said with a smile.

"good."

Su Luo washed her hands and ate lobster with Jiang Xiaoliu.

After cracking open the lobster's skull and slurping up the broth, Su Luo felt like she was about to become an immortal. It was so fragrant and flavorful.

Very spicy!

It’s the spicy crayfish she loves to eat.

"It's delicious, so delicious. Grandma, your cooking skills are good enough to open a restaurant!" Su Luo praised after tasting the lobster.

“Hahaha, is it really that delicious?”

Yao Guixiang smiled so much that the wrinkles on her face disappeared. She felt particularly satisfied and happy that her granddaughter liked the food she cooked!

"It's delicious, grandma, you should try it too."

Su Luo peeled the meat from a lobster tail and stuffed it into Yao Guixiang's mouth. After tasting it, Yao Guixiang's eyes lit up and she nodded, "Well, lobster cooked like this is really good!"

"It's just a little spicy...hiss,hiss...Grandma, I want some cold water, it's too spicy..."

Jiang Xiaoliu can't eat spicy food very well. After eating a few, his mouth turned red from the spiciness. He huffed and stuck out his tongue, clamoring for cold water.

Su Luo can eat spicy food very well. The spicier it is, the more delicious it is. Even if her mouth turns red from the spiciness, she can still continue eating.

When half of the pot of lobsters was finished, my grandfather and fourth uncle came back one after another.

Fourth uncle pocketed a lot of pears in his shirt, saying that he was repairing a plow at Old Yu's house and that Old Yu gave them to him as gifts. He just happened to bring them back for Xiaoliu and Luoluo to eat.

Jiang Jiaan washed his hands and walked over and asked with a smile, "Hey, you guys are eating lobsters? How is it?"

"It's really delicious, Fourth Uncle. I saved half for you."

Su Luo cleaned up the lobster shells she had eaten and left the lobsters in the basin on the table for everyone to eat.

"No, no, Luoluo, if you like it, eat more and finish it all! We don't like it, and your grandparents don't like it much either. You should eat it yourself!"

Jiang Jiaan really doesn't like eating shelled ones because they are difficult to chew.

Jiang Houde doesn't eat it either. He rarely eats fish, mainly because he thinks fish and shrimp are troublesome.

When Yao Guixiang brought the dish over, she also said she didn't want to eat it. Looking at the remaining half of the delicious lobster, Su Luo could only eat it alone!

While Jiang Jiaan was eating, he said to Yao Guixiang and the others, "Dad, Mom, I didn't go to the kiln factory to work today, did you know that?"

"I know, Xiaoliu told me everything."

Yao Guixiang handed him a steamed bun.

Jiang Jiaan took it, took a bite, and continued, "It's a good thing I didn't go today. I just came back from Old Yu's house repairing the plow and happened to meet Da Qiangzi. Da Qiangzi told me that the kiln factory collapsed today, killing three people and injuring seven. It's a complete mess."

"ah?"

Yao Guixiang was shocked, and Jiang Houde's eyes widened in shock. They both looked at Jiang Jiaan, "Did they kill someone?"

"Yeah! If I were to go to work today, I'm afraid I'd be..."

Jiang Jiaan didn't say anything else, but everyone understood what he meant. If he went, he might end up either dead or injured.

"Oh, what a blessing! May the Buddha bless us, may the Buddha bless us!"

Yao Guixiang came back to her senses and kept praying for Buddha's blessing.

Jiang Jia'an looked at Su Luo and said gratefully, "I really have to thank Luo Luo today. If Luo Luo hadn't insisted that I go shrimp fishing with her, I might have gone. In the end, it was Luo Luo who helped Fourth Uncle avoid the disaster."

"Yes! Fortunately, Luoluo held you back, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous! Thanks to Luoluo, Luoluo is really a lucky little star."

Yao Guixiang sighed, and looked at Su Luo with more loving eyes. She felt that this little granddaughter must be the reincarnation of a lucky star.

When she came to Jiangjiaba, she saved Xiaoliu's life and Jia'an's life.

If this isn’t a lucky star, what is?
