Chapter 44 Seafood Porridge

"Oh, is Brother Amu okay?"

Su He looked inside the boat awning and saw Su Mu weakly smiling at him. He quickly boarded the boat and carried him on his back. "Auntie, Sister Qian, I see you bought a lot of things. I'll carry Brother Mu, you guys take them!"

"OK!"

Su Qian nodded slightly.

Su He was seen climbing up the bluestone path with Su Mu on his back without looking back.

Su Qian asked Gu Luyun to carry Su Mu's bag of herbs and two pieces of cloth.

She carried two heavy iron pots with bowls, chopsticks, plates and a small bag of rice in them, and put the rest into the space.

Afterwards, the two followed Su He along the winding bluestone path.

At the entrance of the stone fortress, the second aunt of the Su family was looking around anxiously, "It's my fault that I slept too soundly yesterday. I didn't even know when my eldest sister-in-law and the others left."

In the hall, Su Xi found a rag and was wiping the table. "Mom, it's useless for you to know. Ah Qian and the others must have gone to the town."

"Oh, Mom just feels useless and can't help at all!"

The second aunt of the Su family sighed softly.

"Of course it's useless. Let's get rid of the weeds at the door first. I saw a large piece of wasteland under the cliff behind the stone fort. If we clean it up, we can grow a lot of food!"

Su Xi said as she wiped the table.

In a room next to the hall, Su Yi was hugging Yan Qinghan tightly, "Brother Yan, are you telling the truth? Are there really so many mermaids in the sea?"

"Of course. And she's great at singing. But if Yi'er comes across her, she'd better cover her ears tightly, because the mermaid's singing might seduce little Yi'er away."

Yan Qinghan held Su Yi, whose eyes were red, in his arms and looked out the window as he spoke.

"Haha, brother, you must be kidding me. I won't run into any mermaids, and I won't be seduced by them. I want to be with mom and the others."

Little Su Yi was finally amused by Yan Qinghan and burst into laughter.

"Look, isn't that Mu'er that Ah He is carrying? It's my sister-in-law and the others who are back!"

The second aunt of the Su family, who had been standing at the door and looking around, suddenly had her eyes lit up and pointed at the dark shadow not far away and said.

"Let's go, your mother and sister are back. Shall we go pick them up?"

Yan Qinghan also saw them from the window and spoke to Su Yi in his arms.

"good."

Su Yi quickly got out of his arms, ran to the bed, looked for her shoes and prepared to get out of bed.

When Su Qian and Gu Luyun had not yet reached the gate of the stone fort with their belongings, someone had already come forward to take their belongings.

Su Qian looked at everyone and said, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? There are a few big lobsters under the plank at the bow of my boat. I'll go get them."

She smiled faintly at everyone, and before anyone could react, she walked back towards the dock.

Not long after, she brought up a large wooden barrel with a lot of Boston lobsters. She also had a package on her back, which contained everyone's clothes and shoes.

Su Xi took Su Qian's package and put it in Su Qian's room.

Then he ran to check the big wooden barrel that Su Qian had brought back, "Qian, where did you catch this lobster? It's so big?"

Looking at the Boston lobster that was more than an inch long, Su Xi couldn't help but smack her lips, "I'm afraid you'll be full after eating just one of these, right?"

"Yes, Ah Qian, how can we eat such a big lobster?"

Aunt Su was dumbfounded as she looked at the large lobster in the barrel. "If this thing is caught by a claw, I'm afraid it won't be able to be shaken off, right?"

"I'm going to use this big lobster to make seafood porridge. Let me take care of it."

Su Qian nodded gently to everyone and went into the kitchen with the wooden barrel.

In the kitchen, there is a large water tank, which is now full of water.

Next to the water jar, there was a clean bucket. It seemed that someone from the Su family's second aunt had fetched water there.

"Ah Qian, that water is from the lake next door. I tasted it and it's freshwater, so I fetched some back."

Su Xi followed behind and explained, "Today I went around the island and found that there is a road behind the stone fort that leads to the beach below. I plan to pick up some clams, fish and shrimps when I have nothing to do."

"Okay! Are you all hungry? I'll make breakfast first, and then we can go!"

We didn't eat last night because we were afraid we would be hungry.

Su Qian nodded slightly and began to speed up the processing of the big lobsters in the wooden barrel.

The pots, pans, and utensils she had brought back earlier had already been placed in the kitchen.

The kitchen is very big, as big as a bedroom, and there is a large stove near the window that can hold two large pots.

Su Qian looked at the two pots he bought and found they were just the right size to fit on the table.

"Ah Qian, I'll help you!"

Su Xi took out a large basin from the side, took out some rice from the rice bag and began to wash it.

On Su Qian's side, he used his left hand to tightly grasp the lobster's tail and removed the shrimp thread, then separated the shrimp body and the shrimp tail, and then removed the outer shell of the shrimp tail, leaving only the fresh and tender shrimp tail.

In this way, she took out more than ten Boston fish from the big wooden barrel.

The shrimp in the shrimp head can't be wasted! I found a plate and took it out and put it in.

After cleaning, she found the kitchen knife and cutting board she had bought and chopped the shrimp tail into minced shrimp.

Then Su Qian took out a small jar of oil from her sleeve. This was a small jar she bought from the market.

After washing the iron pot clean, Su Xi also started to light the stove.

She had picked up the firewood from the nearby woods in the morning. She knew that Su Qian would definitely bring back some food, so she made preparations early.

Heat the oil, add the shrimp roe and shrimp paste and stir-fry for a few times, add the millet that Su Xi washed, and add water!

Unfortunately, the conditions are simple now. There are no onions, ginger, garlic, mushrooms, carrots, etc.

In fact, these things are in her space, but it is not convenient to take them out now. She can find an excuse later!

Because Haiping Town is close to the sea, the herbal medicine prescribed by Doctor Xu did not prohibit the consumption of seafood. In any case, he instructed Su Qian to stew some nutritious seafood for Su Mu to nourish his body.

She thought that there were still a lot of sea cucumbers in her space, so she might as well stew a pot of seafood soup tonight!

Soon, the fragrance of millet mixed with the delicious flavor of lobster paste wafted out of the iron pot.

“Smells so good!”

Su Xi sniffed and continued adding branches to the iron pot.

Su Qian used a spoon to stir the rice porridge. After it became thick, she asked Su Xi to turn off the fire in the stove.

Su Qian, pretending to rummage, took out a small can of salt from the space, grabbed a handful and threw it into the iron pot.

Afterwards, she washed the dishes and chopsticks she had just bought and used a spoon to scoop up the porridge.

The movements are crisp and done in one go!

The people who smelled the aroma of seafood porridge were already hungry and gathered at the kitchen door.

"Come over here and help take it out!"

Su Qian was not polite and directly ordered them to carry the food to the table in the living room themselves.
