Worried that her sister-in-law might have cooked the rice, Ruan Meng returned home early after scraping off the seaweed.
Before leaving, he instructed his second brother and Xiao Kai, "Catch some shrimp!"
Back at the stone house, the eldest brother and sister-in-law were also very curious about the sea stone flower.
Ruan Meng explained, "Here comes another way to make money!"
My sister-in-law helped clean the seaweed, removing the outer shell and rubbing it repeatedly.
Ruan Meng rinsed the crab and removed its internal organs.
Although the spicy crab and the all-flavor crab were very flavorful, they were a bit too strong for my older brother's taste.
Although the scallion and ginger crab isn't spicy, it's still oily, and after eating a few, it can feel greasy.
Therefore, Ruan Meng plans to make seafood porridge for her older brother and sister-in-law.
Anyway, there are enough crabs, and the rest can be used to make full-flavor crab for Xiao Kai and Third Brother.
Remove the crab's mouth, stomach, gills, etc., cut it in half, smash the crab's legs and cut them into pieces. When Ruan Meng cleaned out a basin of crab meat, the second brother came back carrying a wooden bucket.
"Look! Sister, look, shrimp!"
Ruan Yi was sucking his fingers, and it looked like he had suffered another cut while catching shrimp.
"Let me see!"
Ruan Meng got up and checked her second brother's hands. She found that some parts were red, probably from being poked by shrimp heads or whiskers. There were quite a few red spots, but none of them were open.
"How about that, little sister? Aren't I amazing? You said you wanted to catch shrimp, and I caught some!"
"Yes! Very impressive!"
When Ruan Meng answered, she felt a little guilty and felt very sorry for her second brother.
"Let me order something for you, Second Brother, since you've worked so hard!"
"Second brother can eat anything, whatever his sister makes, he'll love it! Why don't you ask your eldest brother and the others? He can't eat spicy food, so could your sister make something he can eat?"
Ruan Meng's expression remained unchanged, but her heart was filled with tenderness.
The second brother was not as smart as the eldest brother, nor as brave as the third brother, but he had his own unparalleled strengths.
Always considerate and caring towards others.
"Okay! I'll make you something delicious with the seaweed I just found!"
"What, what?"
Xiao Kai rushed back, and there were only two crabs in the wooden bucket. He explained:
"The tide is coming in..."
Ruan Meng asked, "I'm planning to make seafood porridge, whole-flavor crab, salt and pepper sand crab, seaweed, is there anything else you'd like to eat?"
Xiao Kai's gaze drifted to the sea urchins in the wooden basin.
Ruan Meng asked her sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, how many eggs are left at home?"
The eldest sister-in-law smiled and said, "Not many left, there should be three more."
"Okay! Shall I make you sea urchin steamed egg?"
Xiao Kai's eyes widened, overjoyed, but he said, "How could I possibly accept that?"
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry! But I need your help."
Ruan Meng remembered that her second brother was skilled in painting, so she took out paper and pen, drew a picture on the ground, and asked her second brother to copy it.
After asking all the questions, Ruan Yi carefully finished drawing the picture before asking Ruan Meng, "Little sister, what's the use of this?"
"Make something delicious!"
Xiao Kai and Ruan Yi both became interested at the same time.
How long will it take?
Xiao Kai asked.
"Of course, the sooner the better. If possible, I'd like to use it the day after tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Kai hesitated. He had originally planned to help build the house tomorrow, but what if Ruan Meng urgently needed this...?
He has to go back to the restaurant tomorrow, discuss it with Manager Yu, and then find a blacksmith to make a large order. He has to leave by tomorrow afternoon at the latest.
Seeing through his thoughts, Ruan Meng said, "You don't need to help build the house, helping to make this is already a great help."
"Your response to Wanjiacun this morning has already cleared obstacles for us, allowing the construction to proceed smoothly. This is more effective than you carrying bricks!"
"Alright!" Xiao Kai suggested, "Shall I leave after lunch tomorrow?"
Ruan Meng nodded, "You can help with beachcombing in the morning, and leave after lunch. I'll cook dinner for you in advance, so you can take it with you on the way."
"It's a promise, I'll provide you with meals for two days, and you can't miss a single one!"
Xiao Kai tilted his head back, revealing a set of white teeth.
The eldest sister-in-law had already rinsed the seaweed flowers clean. Ruan Meng poured them into a pot, added vinegar, and kept boiling them. She asked her third brother to watch the fire and tell him to cook them for at least half an hour.
Xiao Kai rolled up his sleeves and volunteered to help process the shrimp, removing the heads, deveining, and cleaning them.
After Ruan Meng chopped some wild vegetables, scallions, and ginger, she sautéed the shrimp heads that Xiao Kai had removed in the pan until fragrant, then added the scallions and ginger, filling the air with aroma...
Ruan Yihe, with his small calligraphy, couldn't help but admire it.
