Chapter 549: Instructions
When Zhou's mother came in, she saw this scene and was shocked: "What are you feeding your brother and sister?"
"Eat candy!"
Jiang Xia happened to come back at this time. When he heard someone eating candy, he thought someone had choked, so he was so scared that he threw his food away and rushed in.
Zhou Chenglei and Zhou Chengsen also rushed in, fearing that the three kids would choke.
Then the three of them saw the two little guys holding three candies and sharing the sweetness with their younger brothers and sisters.
There are traces of toffee on the corners of the three kids’ mouths, and they are still smacking their lips non-stop!
Mother Zhou snatched the candy from their hands with lingering fear: "Hey, didn't I tell you that brothers and sisters can only drink milk and can't eat other things, especially candy. If it slips in, they will choke."
Zhou Ying: "We held it tightly so it wouldn't slip in. We just licked it for our brother and sister. They love to eat candy."
Jiang Xia didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and touched their little heads: "This is too sweet, they can't eat it yet. Besides, milk candy will be very slippery when wet, and it will slide into the mouth accidentally, and the younger brother or sister will choke."
Zhou Ying: "But aren't milk candy and milk powder both made of milk? Why can't I eat them? I'll hold on tight so they won't slip in."
Zhou Chenglei: "Although they are both made from milk, the ingredients are different. My brother and sister are still young, and their stomachs cannot digest anything other than milk powder. They will have stomachaches and diarrhea if they eat it."
Zhou Chengsen also said: "Even if you hold on tight, you may still lose it. Don't do this again in the future. Before feeding your younger brothers and sisters, remember to ask the adults. Don't feed them secretly, understand?"
Zhou's mother wiped the triplets' mouths with a handkerchief and said, "If you eat too much sweet food, your teeth won't grow. Do you want your brothers and sisters to be toothless in the future?"
Zhou Ying: "No. What if they have already eaten it? They won't be able to grow teeth, right?"
Zhou Zhou was also anxious: "Yes, what if I have already eaten? Will I have diarrhea and lose my teeth?"
If you don’t have teeth, won’t you have to drink milk for the rest of your life?
"Don't be afraid, just eat a little." Jiang Xia said soothingly, "But you really can't feed them anymore in the future. Wait until they grow up, have a lot of teeth, can walk, and talk, then you can feed them."
"Okay." The two were relieved that their teeth wouldn't stop growing. At this time, the sister's mouth was wiped clean and she smacked her lips a few times. Without the sweet taste, her mouth flattened and she started crying.
My younger sister is the most greedy. Sometimes when clothes touch her mouth, she will stretch out her head and lick them non-stop.
When one cried, the other two followed suit, fearing that others couldn't hear them.
The crying is getting louder day by day. Now the child is crying on the second floor and can be heard downstairs.
Jiang Xia's clothes were dirty and her hands were not washed yet, so she quickly went to wash her hands, change her clothes, and feed the baby.
After Jiang Xia fed the three children, she and Zhou Chenglei gave them a bath and held them for a while, and then they fell asleep.
The dishes for dinner included shrimps, crabs, conches and sea cucumbers caught from the sea today, as well as pig's trotter peanut soup.
After dinner, Jiang Xia went to teach He Xinghuan how to make cold-mixed kelp knots and kelp shreds.
Jiangxia plans to make the kelp knot into a kind that is ready to eat after opening the bag, and can be used as a snack.
The kelp shreds are made by soaking them in boiling water, adding seasonings, and then mixing them together cold, and it becomes the dish on the table.
Whether it is kelp shreds or kelp knots, it is very simple to make, and the soul lies in the preparation of the sauce.
It took an hour to teach me.
It’s just that drying kelp shreds is a little troublesome, but in the future there will be drying equipment, air-drying rooms, and drying rooms, so this won’t be a problem.
The next day, the Marquis came over with his carriage, and Jiang Xia gave him two plates of kelp: "New, try it. The kelp knots are ready-to-eat, a kind of snack. I plan to make the kelp shreds semi-ready, just like instant noodles. When the time comes, just soak them in boiling water, add some seasoning, and serve them on the table as a dish."
"That's a good idea. Let me try it first." The Marquis tasted it and thought it was the best seaweed salad he had ever eaten. He gave a thumbs up and said, "Okay! This is good, but the shelf life is not as long as that of fried fish, right?"
Jiang Xia nodded: "Yes, that's why there are semi-instant foods. Semi-instant foods have a much longer shelf life because they are dried."
"Okay, let's do as you think. This kelp sells well in inland cities. Make more! I know someone who grows kelp. When the time comes, we can get it from him and you can process it."
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "That's really because I was sleepy and someone gave me a pillow. I was just trying to see if the kelp sells well. If it does, I'll buy a lot of it."
"It's not expensive to buy kelp from him. Fresh kelp is about three or four cents per pound, but the shipping fee is expensive, so the cost is undoubtedly high."
Jiang Xia: "It's okay. My family has a boat and a tractor. We can transport it ourselves. Is it far?"
"I forgot you have everything. We can sail over there. Just bring more back at a time. Do you want some seaweed?"
"No seaweed for now. It's hard to make and too much trouble."

…
The two talked for a while, the dried fish was loaded into the car, and the Marquis left in a hurry.
*Two days later, the weather cleared up and we could finally go out to sea.
Zhou Chenglei and his father went out to sea early in the morning to check on the fish in the cages.
When he returned to the dock in the evening, many villagers asked him, "Alei, how are the fish in your cages? Are they all right?"
Father Zhou said cheerfully: "Of course it's okay!"
Zhou Chenglei carried a large bag of fish off the boat. When they set out, Zhou's father cast two nets and had a good harvest. The nets burst directly and were covered with fish. However, the fish caught were very mixed and they had to ask someone to untie them.
The villagers were surprised and said, "I didn't know those cages were so sturdy!"
Father Zhou said with a smile: "Nonsense, we imported them at a high price. People in the island country used this kind of cages to raise fish three years ago. As long as it's not a Category 12 typhoon, there will be no problem. And the sea area where we put the cages is sheltered from wind and waves, and the wind and waves there are not that strong."
Having said that, Zhou's father has been so worried that he has had a hard time sleeping these past few days, fearing that hundreds of thousands of dollars might be wasted by accident.
One villager said: "They have experienced two typhoons and nothing happened, which proves that they can really withstand typhoons. I heard that those cages can raise 100,000 kilograms of fish at a time, and they make one yuan per kilogram. Does that mean they can almost pay back their investment in a year? It's just that those cages are too expensive. I don't have the money to buy them, otherwise I would raise fish too."
Father Zhou said modestly: "Of course I hope to get my money back in one go, but the fish haven't grown up yet, so who knows? And there are many things to do, such as changing the fishing nets and feeding the fish. The fish can get sick, and I don't know if I will make any profit by then. I think the risk is quite high."
"That's true. The risk is indeed quite high. There have only been two typhoons this year, and they were not very strong. We don't know how many more typhoons will come in the future. We have to wait until the fish are grown and sold to know whether we can make money."
In fact, many people are not optimistic about cage fish farming. They know too well how powerful the sea is when a typhoon comes.
But I didn't say anything that would spoil the fun.
