Chapter 94: Director Sun is quite annoying
Yu Hui asked the children to put the crabs into a basin of clean water and let the crabs spit out the dirt.
Change the water every once in a while until the crabs have spit out all the dirt and the water is clear.
She pinched the crab's shell and carefully brushed the crab clean with an unwanted toothbrush.
Since we were going to eat crabs in the evening, Yu Hui cooked some sweet potato porridge.
The porridge was poured into the pot at the back, and a peanut was crisped in the big pot, sprinkled with some salt, pepper powder and chili powder.
Cut the crab in half, dip the cut part in some sweet potato flour, hold the crab in your hand and lock the edges in the pan, then put all the crabs in the pan and fry them until they are golden brown.
Leave some oil in the pan, add minced garlic, minced ginger, dried chili peppers and dried Sichuan peppercorns, stir-fry until fragrant, then add the fried crabs.
Gu Huai and Yu Qiang came back later, and before they even reached the door, they smelled the overbearing fragrance.
Yu Qiang sniffed hard and said, "This is the smell of crab. Xiao Yu must be making spicy crab. Captain Gu, you are in for a treat tonight." His tone revealed...
Gu Huai smiled and took bigger and faster steps.
Several children were keeping watch in the kitchen. Gu Huai took off his military uniform and hat, hung them on the hanger, and then walked into the kitchen. The crabs were just out of the pot.
"What's good to eat tonight?"
"Dad is eating crabs tonight." Gu Xixi swallowed and turned her head to answer.
Gu Dong immediately took credit, "My second brother and I caught it in the ditch."
When Gu Huai heard this, he didn't praise them. Instead, he asked seriously, "You didn't go to the river, did you?"
Gu Dong and Gu Nan hurriedly shook their heads. "The ditch is still far from the river, and the water isn't deep, only up to the knees."
Although the water in the small ditch will flow into the river, it is still far away from the river.
Moreover, there were soldiers standing guard by the river. If the children went there, the soldiers would chase them away.
Because in previous years, every summer when the children were on summer vacation, one or two children from the military family compound would always drown in the river not far from the compound.
In order to prevent the tragedy from happening again, the military district not only notified the families of soldiers to take good care of their children, but also set up a guard post by the river and arranged for soldiers to stand guard by the river during the summer vacation to drive away children who went to the river to play in the water without adults.
"You can't go to the river to play in the water." Gu Huai looked at his three sons and warned them.
"I know..." Gu Dong dragged out the tone, "Mom has already said it."
"Bring the dishes out. I'll stir-fry some water spinach and we can eat." Yu Hui handed a large plate of spicy crab to Gu Huai to take out.
Gu Huai took it and glanced at the four children who were looking at him eagerly, "Gu Dong, take the chopsticks."
"good."
The water spinach was fried very quickly, and when it was done, Gu Dong and the others had just set the table.
Yu Hui scooped the sweet potato porridge into a clean basin and asked Gu Huai to bring it directly to the living room.
The porridge cools down faster when it is scooped out of the pot, so you don’t have to run to the kitchen to scoop more after eating a bowl.
The spicy crab is fragrant, spicy and fresh, and goes perfectly with porridge. The crab shell is fried until crispy and breaks into pieces with a light bite.
Beibei looked at his brothers' crabs and his mouth was watering. He kept pointing at the crabs and saying he wanted to eat them.
Yu Hui took the crab claws apart and gave her the crab meat that had no flavor.
"Mom, I want more, more..." After eating two crab claws, Beibei seemed to have opened the door to a new world and wanted to eat more.
Yu Hui was about to unwrap the crab claws for her again, but Gu Huai fed the unwrap crab claw meat into Bei Bei's mouth and said to her, "You eat it, I'll feed her."
She hadn't eaten a single crab yet, but she was just picking the crab claws and meat off Beibei. If she didn't eat any more, the crabs would have been eaten up by the other three greedy cats.
Yu Hui glanced at Gu Huai, picked up half a crab and started to eat it.
The three brothers were particularly satisfied with the spicy crab meal.
He also said that he would continue to catch crabs tomorrow afternoon.
In order to save trouble and also to save some oil and seasoning, Qian Lan simply steamed the crabs caught by Yu Lixin and ate them.
When Yu Lixin heard Gu Dong say that the spicy crabs they had eaten today were delicious, he also asked his mother to make spicy crabs for him tomorrow so that the crabs he had worked so hard to catch would not be wasted.
Qian Lan was so angry that she beat him up.
The next day, Yu Jianshe also joined the crab catching team.
Yu Hui had nothing to do at home, so she put hats on Beibei and herself and went to the small ditch to take a look.
The small ditch is indeed a small ditch, located close to the main road, with a bridge over it.
There are green reeds on both sides of the ditch. Some places are wide and some are narrow. The water inside is clear and you can see the bottom. You can clearly see the small fish, moss, stones and snails in the water.
That’s right, it’s snails.
There are quite a few snails in this ditch.
Brother Yu Jianshe and brothers Gu Dong and Gu Nan went down into the ditch.
Yu Hui took Bei Bei and Gu Xixi to stand under the tree. Yu Hui pointed at the snails in the ditch and said to Gu Dong and the others, "Pick up some snails too. They'll make delicious spicy snails."
When several people heard that snails could be eaten, they started to put them into their own fine-hole mesh bags.
However, after picking for more than an hour, they had a good harvest. They asked Xixi to watch Beibei while they went down to pick for a while.
Seeing that they were sweating profusely from the sun, Yu Hui let them go back.
"Don't pick it up, go back first, don't get heatstroke."
Yu Jianshe and the others didn't feel that hot and wanted to continue picking up trash, but they still obediently went back.
On the way home, Yu Lixin said, holding the snails in his hand, "Aunt Yu, my mom has never cooked snails before, and if she does, it won't be tasty. And if we ask her to cook them, it will be a waste of the snails we worked so hard to pick. Why don't we give them all to you? When you cook them, just give us some to eat."
Yu Jianshe also nodded in agreement.
"Okay," Yu Hui agreed with a smile, "but we need to leave the snails overnight so they can spit out all the dirt before we can eat them."
"I'll make it tomorrow night, and your whole family can come over to eat together." At that time, you can crisp up some peanuts, grab some pickles, make two cold dishes, stir-fry two side dishes and eat them with porridge. It won't cost much.
"Okay." Yu Lixin jumped up happily.
Yu Hui looked at Yu Lixin and smiled. Then she turned her eyes and saw Sun Tieying walking towards her. The smile on her face disappeared immediately.
This elder sister has always been very annoying.
Sun Tieying's sharp eyes swept over Yu Hui and the children. Then, with a stern face, she said sternly, "Xiao Yu, how can you be a stepmother? How can you take the children to the river? And take the two children from Yu Lianchang's family with you?"
"Do you know how dangerous the river is? How many children have died there? If something happened, could you afford it?"
It was because last time, Yu Hui complained to the teacher and was criticized.
Recently, her work with women has not been going well at all.
Not only did those women refuse to listen to her advice, they also accused her of being unfair and unable to distinguish right from wrong. No wonder the leaders of the military region criticized her.
She now has no prestige at all among the women comrades in the military family compound.
This was all caused by Yu Hui, the country girl. Now that she had caught Yu Hui doing something wrong, she would definitely not let her go and would criticize her severely.
