Chapter 107 It smells so good!
"Help me get rid of that bug." Lin Xia patted his chest and pointed to the basin of oysters beside the pool, not daring to look at it.
Lu Yuxiu approached and saw half of the pink oysters in the basin, still wriggling, as if they were crawling out of a small hole. Seeing that it was not dangerous, Lu Yuxiu immediately relaxed his tense muscles.
He had seen this thing on the beach. It loved crawling on those broken rocks. He didn't know if it was because there was no one around during the day, so it crawled out of the small hole again.
Seeing her mother so scared, An An went forward curiously to take a look. There was a pink thing inside, and she couldn't help but want to get closer to take a closer look.
The sandworm didn't know if it did it on purpose, but it knew there was a little cutie looking at it, so it moved and tried to say hello to her.
An An originally thought that this was just a toy like a shell, but she didn't expect it to be able to move. She was so scared that she turned around and ran away.
It’s so scary to be alive!
Lin Xia caught the little girl and saw that she was not afraid at all when she came closer. Lin Xia did not want to mislead the child, but it turned out that she was no braver than her.
He pinched the little guy's nose and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"
"It moved!" The little boy frowned, he didn't expect that this thing was alive.
"Please help me get rid of those bugs!" Lin Xia was still frightened, but she felt much better when she hugged the little guy who was also frightened.
She was not afraid of insects or mice, but was most afraid of soft fleshy bugs. She got goosebumps all over her body when she thought about them.
Lu Yuxiu found it somewhat amusing to see that the mother and daughter couldn't muster the courage.
He picked up the basin and turned around to see that Lin Xia had an old toothbrush next to her. He stood up and asked, "Are you using this to brush?"
"Yeah! Don't take away those messy shells on it." Lin Xia watched him take away the basin, and suddenly she was not so scared anymore.
Seeing that his wife insisted on having this, Lu Yuxiu squatted aside to deal with it.
Lin Xia looked in the remaining pots and felt relieved when she didn't see any bugs in the fan.
She had already thrown away the little crabs on the beach and did not bring them back, so she planned to make spicy crabs with this pot of crabs.
Steam a few scallops with the oysters and cook some green vegetables, and the dinner will still be very rich.
Lin Xia was cutting side dishes in the kitchen, and soon Lu Yuxiu had finished preparing the oysters.
"Is this okay? Should I crack the shell open?" Lu Yuxiu was halfway through brushing when he realized that this thing seemed to be like a scallop, with two shells sandwiched together, but it was difficult to pry apart.
"No need, they will open naturally when they are cooked." The oysters were brushed clean, revealing their light gray shells.
Lin Xia chopped the garlic and fried the chili garlic sauce in a pan to use when eating oysters later. She deliberately left some of the chopped garlic for other uses.
Then cut the crab into two halves, dip it in flour, and fry it in the pan. Looking at the tempting red color of the crab, add the ingredients and side dishes and stir-fry together.
The whole kitchen was immediately filled with fragrance. There was a full pot, in which she also put celery and potato chips.
Fill the pot with water and put the oysters and scallops directly into the water to boil. Add some scallions and ginger to remove the fishy smell. Put a steamer on top to steam a few buns. There is no need to steam rice.
There are still some sea urchins left in the basin. Let them soak in sea water overnight and make some sea urchin steamed eggs tomorrow morning.
Unexpectedly, there was such a big pot of crabs, so Lin Xia decided to save the sea cucumbers for tomorrow.
Everything is ready, just waiting for the pot to be cooked. Lin Xia used the leftover minced garlic to make some smashed cucumbers, which can be considered a vegetarian dish.
When the meal was ready, Lin Xia asked Lu Yuxiu to send some oysters and garlic sauce to the neighbors, and promised to let Mrs. Yang try it.
After telling Lu Yuxiu how to eat, she asked him to deliver the meal. She prepared the meal at home and would start eating when Lu Yuxiu came back.
"Come quickly!" Lin Xia waved when she saw Lu Yuxiu coming back.
The cooked oysters had opened a little and could be easily opened with hands. After dipping them in a little garlic sauce, Lin Xia handed the oysters to Lu Yuxiu's mouth, wanting him to try it.
There was a strong smell of minced garlic and a hint of seafood in front of his nose. Lu Yuxiu tried to eat it in one bite, and his throat moved slightly.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Lin Xia asked expectantly. The oysters were quite large and should be plump and delicious.
"One more." He took a bite and chewed it twice before it was gone. Lu Yuxiu didn't even taste the flavor clearly.
As he said this, his hands did not move at all, and he was really enjoying the feeling of his wife feeding him.
Lin Xia thought he didn't taste it, so she immediately opened another one for him, "Try it carefully this time, don't swallow it."
Lu Yuxiu commented without changing his expression: "Well, not bad."
It's really good, a bit like the braised pork I've had before, soft and a little chewy, tender and juicy.
Seeing that he thought it was delicious, Lin Xia was happy and prepared to open one for An An. The little guy was drooling with envy.
“Is it delicious?”
"What mommy made is delicious!" The little guy ate it with satisfaction, thinking about what daddy had just done.
"One more~" One is not enough!
"Here you go." Lu Yuxiu opened one and put it in the little girl's bowl, letting her eat it by herself.
"Eat it yourself and don't worry about us." Lu Yuxiu said as he opened the oysters for Lin Xia.
"Hmph~" The little guy picked up the oysters and hummed at his father before eating. Why could he let his mother feed him, but she couldn't!
She wants her mother to feed her too!
Lu Yuxiu found that the little girl was becoming more and more petty, so he opened oysters for her and said with a glance, "This is my wife, don't tire her out."
"Hmph~" The little guy turned his head away, not wanting to look at him.
Lin Xia enjoyed Lu Yuxiu helping her open the shell and watched the father and daughter bickering with a smile.
She didn’t make the spicy crab too spicy because the little ones are too small to eat it. The slight spiciness was used to enhance the flavor, and the potatoes and celery inside were very flavorful and soft.
The family of three was very satisfied with the meal. Lu Yuxiu went to wash the dishes, and Lin Xia took An An to see the lychee seeds that had been placed in the corner.
I picked up the cloth bag in a shady corner of the backyard, opened it, and saw that among the pile of seeds, a few had sprouted a little.
"An An, come and see!" Lin Xia pointed to An An.
"Wow~ Do I have a lot of fruits to eat?" The little guy's eyes lit up and he started licking his lips.
"Not yet. We have to wait a little longer." Lin Xia poured a little more water on the cloth. The buds were still too small. It was not known whether they could survive if they were placed in the soil.
Suddenly, I remembered the seeds I bought today. Unexpected things happen and a typhoon might come at any time. Lin Xia took a small shovel and carried a bucket of water to the front yard.
First, choose a corner of the land that Lu Yuxiu had dug, and use a small shovel to make the soil fluffy and fine. Based on her childhood memories, Lin Xia vaguely remembered that she first germinated the seeds and then planted them separately, so that the germination could be accelerated and the humidity could be controlled.
Scatter several kinds of seeds separately, cover them with a thin layer of soil, and prepare to water them.
"Growing vegetables?" Yang Hongmei said while standing outside the door holding her daughter.
