Xiao Dan was taken aback, then, as if remembering something, quickly replied.
"Yes, most of them are edible. If Shishi wants to eat them, we'll catch some next time."
It seems the little girl knows there are many creatures in the sea, but she has never eaten them, so she doesn't understand.
That's right. As Xie said, the silly girl isn't well-liked by her family. She might not even get a few bites of coarse grains, let alone delicious seafood.
Her small frame, which made her look like a minor at 18, proved everything.
Thinking about this, I can't help but feel a little heartbroken.
I need to talk to my wife and ask her to treat the little girl even better and give her more food.
The pit was big enough that Xiao Dan threw the whole bucket in and scooped out more than half of it.
Pour out the water, then scoop out everything that's left in the pit, filling a whole bucket.
I might as well spread that clump of grass on top of the bucket to cover it up, so that no one will see it and ask me any questions.
He casually pushed the mud and sand back into the pit to fill it up, then grinned and said, "Shishi, let's go home and cook something delicious."
"Egg, Corpse wants to eat a lot." The Corpse gestured with its hand, indicating a lot.
"Okay, they're all Shishi's."
Liu Xiaolan had already left the Xiao family courtyard.
Zhang Tong washed and dried Zhou Shi's clothes, then went to the logistics department to retrieve the manhole cover for installation.
It's still unknown when Xie Lin will return. Zhou Shi is staying at home, and the well is a safety hazard.
If the little girl really hangs upside down in the well to play, she might not be able to pull her up.
I went to the big well to fetch today's share of fresh water, and then went to the Xie family's courtyard to pick three cucumbers to make a cold dish for dinner.
In hot weather, eating some cold dishes makes the stomach feel much more comfortable.
I had just turned the dried radishes that were drying in the yard over to the side when the yard gate was pushed open, followed by a loud voice.
"Egg, look, horns, lots of horns, Corpse wants to eat snacks, wants to eat snacks."
Zhang Tong was pulled so hard that he stumbled.
"You guys went shrimp catching? Old Xiao, I didn't see you take any tools."
The young girl was carrying a bucket, while her husband's hands were empty and his clothes weren't completely wet. The old man's bottom and buttocks were wet, while the young girl's trouser legs were only wet. How did the two of them catch the shrimp?
It's well past the time for beachcombing.
Xiao Dan chuckled and kept everyone in suspense, saying, "I'll tell you when I get back tonight."
"Ah Tong, there are shrimp and mantis shrimp in the bucket. I promised to make some dried snacks for the girl. Could you take care of them?"
He took the clump of grass out and placed it at the foot of the courtyard wall. "A-Tong, don't throw this clump of grass away. I'll need it."
This is a great thing that can help his soldiers improve their health.
Zhang Tong was stunned by the huge bucket of little guys and didn't care about the grass he was talking about anymore.
The bucket was full of dried goods, with not a single drop of seawater.
She only stayed for a short while before rushing into the kitchen to get a basin and scissors. After thinking for a moment, she went back and got a cutting board and a knife.
I moved two small stools and placed them in the shade under the tree.
"Shishi, there's water in that basin. Wash the sand off your feet, and Auntie will teach you how to trim shrimp whiskers."
The young couple has a long life ahead of them, and the little girl should learn some simple things.
Once she has learned how to live, I will teach her how to start a fire and cook.
Otherwise, if she returns to Beijing one day and Xie Lin goes on another mission, how will she get a hot meal?
Having a cafeteria might not solve her food problem, since she's a very picky eater.
When it comes to food, Shishi is very enthusiastic.
She stopped washing her feet and sat on the small stool Zhang Tong had prepared, waiting for the new lesson.
"Shishi, come here, look at your auntie. She's holding scissors in one hand and a shrimp in the other. She's cutting off the shrimp's whiskers and then cutting off the sharp corners of its head."
"For this mantis shrimp, you just need to cut off its two pincers and antennae. Be careful not to cut or prick your hand, okay?"
"I've learned it." Corpse nodded seriously.
Zhang Tong handed her the scissors and then taught her again, step by step. The little girl was clever and soon she was doing it quite well.
She only had one pair of scissors at home, so she had to use a kitchen knife to press the shrimp onto the cutting board and chop off the excess parts.
Xiao Dan went back to his room to change his pants and prepared to go to the camp. Seeing the little girl sitting on a small stool and working diligently, he felt a sense of comfort that his daughter had grown up.
He and his wife only had two sons, no daughters. Both sons had boys, and they were very envious of other people's adorable little girls.
This girl is so amusing; in just a few days, she has rekindled his old father's enthusiasm.
Hehe, if only this girl could be my daughter, I'd like to mention it to my husband and Xie sometime.
He mentioned it to himself with a glee before leaving.
"A-Tong, stir-fry some mantis shrimp with chili peppers tonight, but don't make it too spicy, or the girl might not like it."
Zhang Tong didn't even look up, simply replied "okay," and continued with what he was doing.
After a while, the person who was supposed to go to the military region returned, holding two popsicles in his hand.
"A-Tong, Shi-Shi, it's hot, let's have an ice pop to cool down."
Zhang Tong thought that with a big bucket of shrimp, there was no rush. She figured the child probably had never eaten popsicles before, so she immediately took the child to wash their hands and scrub them clean with soap.
Zhou Shi was also attracted by the cool and sweet taste, and her eyes didn't leave the popsicle in Xiao Dan's hand even while washing her hands.
The moment the popsicle hit their mouth, someone's eyes immediately lit up, sparkling like stars.
A sip of sweet, icy water made me feel refreshed from the inside out.
"Wow, this tastes so good! It feels so good! Egg, what is this?"
Slurp~ Slurp~
He ate one bite after another, exclaiming repeatedly.
Zhang Tong also took a sip, and indeed felt refreshed.
"This is called an ice pop. They sell it at the convenience store. If you like it, I'll buy you another one next time."
Seeing that the light in someone's eyes had intensified, she quickly added a sentence.
"But you can't eat too many, or you'll get a stomachache. You can only eat one a day at most."
Just kidding, this girl has no self-control. If we let her eat whatever she wants, the supply from the restaurant probably won't be enough for her.
This stuff is very cold in nature, so girls shouldn't eat it without restraint.
really.
As soon as the words were spoken, the light in the eyes of the foodie instantly dimmed.
Xiao Dan smiled and went out again.
The little girl wants to fill her stomach as soon as she has food; she's such an innocent child.
After finishing their popsicles, the two resumed their work.
It took more than an hour to cut all the shrimp, and then I peeled a plate of shrimp meat to make dumplings.
Some of the larger shrimp are cut in half, making them easier to wrap.
Zhang Tong washed the shrimp and took them to the kitchen, sprinkled them with a small handful of salt, and set them aside. He then took out a bamboo sieve with large holes and placed the shrimp and mantis shrimp on it to scrub them.
After washing it clean, I put it in the vegetable basin and washed it again before taking it back to the kitchen.
"Shishi, come here, wash your hands clean, and rub them with this." She handed her a soap bar.
"Scrub your hands until they're no longer salty, just like before. Remember to wash your feet too."
"After you've washed up, come inside and use the fan. It's hot here. I'll make you some snacks."
"good."
I wish I could have some popsicles again; the fan isn't as cool as a popsicle.
She thought to herself.
