"Lingling, Mingzhu, I'm sorry, I forgot to pick you up from school."
Upon returning home, Fu Wan immediately apologized to her two children.
Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu were initially a little sad when they didn't see Fu Wan.
However, seeing Fu Wan looking like she had just returned from beachcombing, the two children understood perfectly well.
Their attention was immediately drawn to the seafood they brought back.
"I was just looking for the tricycle keys, I was getting ready to pick up the kids."
Boss Fu helped unload the seafood from the bicycle. They had simply washed the sea snails and other seafood with seawater, so they weren't very dirty.
On the contrary, the blue crabs expelled a lot of mud and sand.
"With so many blue crabs, have you found the mangrove forest?"
As Boss Fu separated the blue crabs in the fish basket, he turned to ask Fu Wan and the others.
“Yes, these blue crabs were caught in the mangroves. Dad, we’re going to Qingshan Village tomorrow, so we can bring some with us.”
"OK."
Old Master Fu naturally didn't refuse. "Then I'll put it in another bucket and fill it with water so they can drink their fill later."
Unlike swimming crabs, mud crabs only need a cool environment and can live for three or four days in a bucket if they drink enough water every day.
Of course, you also need to prevent mosquito bites.
Qin Anning also managed to steal a moment from her busy schedule. When she was leaving get off work, she happened to run into the teacher who had come to her door, saying that Fu Wan hadn't come to pick up her child.
Since there was nothing else to do at the time, she drove Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu back.
"Anning, do you have the day off tomorrow?"
Fu Wan filled a basin with about half a basin of razor clams, preparing to wash them and eat them that evening.
Qin Anning was about to answer when Fu Ming interrupted her.
“An… your sister-in-law has to go to work tomorrow, and she has to go back after dinner tonight.”
He had already secretly asked Qin Anning about it.
Upon hearing this, not only Fu Wan, but also Boss Fu and Ye Xiaocui smiled.
Qin Anning was a little embarrassed and coughed twice before saying, "I have work tomorrow, so I'm only free tonight."
In fact, Qin Anning had been working overtime to study the data ever since he returned last time. Today, the data finally came out, and the torpedo project is one step closer to completion.
After the meeting tomorrow, they will begin their torpedo assembly experiments.
Using your brain for too long can easily lead you astray, which is why Qin Anning sent the two children away and wasn't in a hurry to go back.
Having dinner to get some fresh air and enjoy the laughter of Fu Wan and the others was a short recharge for Qin Anning, a workaholic.
"That's perfect, we'll have hot pot at home tonight."
Upon hearing Fu Wan's words, Boss Fu frowned.
He knew what a hot pot was; it was the hot pot that modern humans loved to eat, which he saw when he was a ghost in his past life.
But we don't have an induction cooker at home, so how can we cook hot pot?
Upon hearing Boss Fu's question, Fu Wan couldn't help but pat her forehead.
Dreams are beautiful, but reality is always cruel!
"How about we try using charcoal?"
Fu Ming thought for a moment and suggested that there was still a lot of charcoal at home, as well as some honeycomb briquettes.
But where can I find such a suitable pot?
Putting a stainless steel pot on the table doesn't look very nice.
Moreover, charcoal fires are prone to sparks; you might accidentally get a spark on your face while eating, which would be terrifying.
"Never mind, I'll blanch them in the pot later, and everyone can eat them together."
Fu Wan had no choice but to settle for second best.
However, now it's just that hot pot has been replaced with blanching.
Ye Xiaocui and her companions weren't concerned about whether they could actually have hot pot, because they had never tried this way of eating before. The seafood they brought back was already delicious with just a simple cooking method.
Although some of the seafood brought back this time was intended to be taken to Qingshan Village, some was still sold to Fu San.
After all, there were too many things, and Ye Jian's country didn't need them.
Aside from keeping a little of each for their own consumption, most of the blue crabs, razor clams, and sea cucumbers were sent to Fu San's family.
Of course, Fu Wan also asked Jiang Chunlan to get some food to take home for the next couple of days. Jiang Chunlan didn't stand on ceremony, since she and Fu Liang had been busy all afternoon, so she asked for a few blue crabs, razor clams, and clams.
As for sea cucumbers, they cost a little over a dollar per pound. Jiang Chunlan was reluctant to eat them, but Fu Wan grabbed a small half-sieve of them for her without saying a word.
Tonight's dinner at Old Master Fu's house is undoubtedly going to be sumptuous, so Fu Wan, Fu Ming, and the others are all busy in the kitchen, with Qin Anning joining in the fun as well.
While Fu Wan was preparing the crabs, she turned her head and saw two furtive figures.
"What are you two doing?"
Fu Wan's voice boomed in Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu's ears, startling the two children.
He then instinctively hid his hands behind his back.
"No...it's nothing."
Fu Wan was skeptical. With her daughter's eyes darting around, she was sure she was up to some mischief again.
"Take it out before I get angry."
Fu Wan used force and with a snap, she lifted the top of the blue crab's head.
This action made Fu Ling tense up instantly, so she obediently held out what she was holding for Fu Wan to see.
"Sea cucumbers? What are you going to do with sea cucumbers?"
The two little girls each held two sea cucumbers in their hands. They were quite brave, and even though the sea cucumbers were still wriggling, they weren't afraid at all.
"Mom, Little Yellow is back. I want to give it some sea cucumbers."
Fu Ling quickly smiled apologetically, while Qin Mingzhu beside her nodded vigorously.
Oh, I see. Then it doesn't count as causing trouble.
But would Xiao Huang eat sea cucumbers?
This guy's diet is now incredibly diverse. I'd heard that kestrels eat sparrows, doves, and mice, but this little yellow guy doesn't even spare snakes or small fish.
On one occasion, Fu Wan even saw it grabbing a crab that Wangcai had bitten and pecking at it desperately.
"Why don't you bring Xiao Huang over? What if it doesn't eat? Wouldn't that be a waste?"
Fu Wan was also reluctant to part with the food. Since she didn't have time to make dumplings tonight, she could only go to the backyard to cut some chives and stir-fry them with sea cucumbers.
So she wanted to save some sea cucumbers to make dumplings tomorrow morning.
If those two kids ruin it all, we won't be able to eat dumplings tomorrow.
"Okay, let's call Xiao Huang over!"
The two children let go of the sea cucumbers and threw them back into the basin, then ran off again.
Fu Wan shook her head helplessly. These sea cucumbers have some sharp spines on their heads. Adults' hands are thick and rough, so they can't feel them. The two kids didn't even flinch. They're really capable of doing anything for Xiao Huang.
Cooking together is faster. Today, when Qin Anning came over, Fu Ming stood in front of the stove and finished cooking all the dishes, looking like he wanted to show off.
Fu Wan and Ye Xiaocui saw through his intentions and were happy to assist him.
However, just as this family was enjoying a happy time, a car was speeding towards Longhai City. Inside the car, Kujiro Koichi looked out the window at the scenery, his face grim.
Is this the place that took his brother's life?!
