Chapter 60: It was Song Shiwei who harmed our little Douzi!
Many of these family members came from inland areas and had never been to the sea, nor had they ever thought about going to the sea, because when each of them first arrived, they were told by their husbands.
"Don't eat blindly. You don't know which seafood is poisonous. If you eat the wrong ones by accident, you may get poisoned!"
But at this time, Zhou Xiaomei was really jealous when she saw Song Shiwei and the others' two buckets full of seafood.
Song Shiwei can eat it? Why can't they eat it?
If it really doesn't work, she can just go and catch the fishes there. At worst, she can just catch whatever the locals are catching, right?
So when Song Shiwei went to the sea the next day, she saw Zhou Xiaomei and her son Douzi also going to the sea.
Seeing them coming, she smiled smugly.
Song Shiwei sneered slightly, not knowing what she was so proud of.
Originally, anyone could come to the party, so she didn't care about her.
He led Zhou Cheng, Zhou Lin and Xiao Cui to grab things in a hurry.
Even though they didn't finish the two big buckets they picked up yesterday, Song Shiwei used sea water to feed them, so they could still last for a few days.
In the morning, she asked Zhou Tingyue to find some mud and bricks and built a stove at the door of her house.
You can grill it later!
Zhou Tingyue was also very skillful. After listening to Song Shiwei's request, he made a wire mesh with clean fine wire, brushed it clean and placed it on the top.
This way a simple oven is completed.
With this stove, you can not only grill seafood and fish, but also various meats and vegetables.
After hearing what Song Shiwei said, Zhou Tingyue and the children immediately drooled.
This is also the reason why she came again today as she hasn’t finished eating the seafood she picked yesterday.
The two kids were simply too excited and wanted to catch more.
Today, after the tide receded, there were a lot of clams left! Zhou Cheng, Zhou Lin, and Xiao Cui were having a great time picking them.
Song Shiwei also found several large octopuses in the cracks between the rocks.
These octopuses are very difficult to catch, as their suction cups stick very firmly to rocks.
Sometimes Song Shiwei couldn't clamp something with pliers, so he just grabbed it with his hands!
Be careful when grabbing with your hands, as corals sometimes grow in the cracks of the rocks. Corals are poisonous, and the toxins are usually found on the tentacles of the mouthparts. If you accidentally touch them, you will be stung, and it hurts!
Therefore, Song Shiwei always wears two layers of thick thread gloves before catching the octopus.
Zhou Xiaomei was actually observing her the whole time. She would watch what she caught and then rush to catch it.
When she saw an octopus under the rock in front of her, her face lit up with joy and she reached out to grab it, but was instantly shocked by the coral reef's roar of "Ah!!!"
It hurt so much that tears were about to come out!
People nearby couldn't help but look at her. Song Shiwei was not far away. Seeing that she was fooled, she wanted to kindly remind her. However, Zhou Xiaomei rolled her eyes at her with anger in her eyes, as if she was deliberately hurting her.
Song Shiwei: “.......”
It's incomprehensible. Is this person crazy?
She had better not remind her. What if she thought she was making up an excuse to avoid being caught? She didn't want to cause trouble for no reason.
In addition to octopuses, you can occasionally find some crabs, swimming crabs, blue crabs, and even some king crabs in the cracks of the rocks here.
In fact, it is not too fat at this time, but it is almost fat. Didn’t the ancient literati love to eat crabs with rice wine and recite poems when the chrysanthemums were in full bloom?
When yellow chrysanthemums are in full bloom, it is Mid-Autumn Festival.
Counting the days, today is August 27th in the solar calendar, and there is still one month left until the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The original body's birthday is July 18th in the lunar calendar, which is the day after tomorrow.
There will be a big market here tomorrow, and she thought about buying more seafood and bringing it to the market to see if she could exchange it for something.
I heard from Sun Meimei and the others that you can barter at the fair, or you can just give money.
There is not much meat in the crab, and the people here don't like it very much. She can keep it for herself, but if she can catch some fish, maybe she can really exchange it for some money or food and other items.
Song Shiwei threw the crab into the bucket and searched hard between the cracks in the rocks.
Suddenly she saw something black.
When I picked it up with pliers, I found it was a big and fat sea cucumber!
The picture comes from the Internet
This is a good thing, it would be worth a lot if you sell it!
It seems that whatever you think of will come true!
This wave brings a lot of good things!
She picked up seven or eight such large sea cucumbers in a row.
Song Shiwei was extremely happy. It seemed that she had found what she needed for the market tomorrow.
At this moment, she heard Zhou Cheng calling her, "Mom, look what this is?"
Song Shiwei rushed over with the bucket and took a look. The opened reef was densely packed with abalones as big as the palm of his hand, at least twenty or thirty of them!
The picture comes from the Internet
Song Shiwei was very happy.
"This is the wrinkled plate abalone! Commonly known as the four-hole abalone, it is a high-quality species in the abalone family and is known as the best seafood! This is a good thing! The nutritional value is very high! The meat is a famous delicacy, and the shell is called stone cassia, which can be used in traditional Chinese medicine to clear away heat and improve eyesight!"
She has also cooked a variety of abalone dishes, and thinking back on them now, I can't help but drool.
Zhou Lin hurriedly said: "I know that abalone and sea cucumber are only available to rich people!"
Therefore, it goes without saying how precious this thing is.
Song Shiwei shoveled off the generals' hats one by one and put them into the bucket.
A total of twenty-six were shoveled down!
Zhou Xiaomei would occasionally circle around her to see what she had caught.
She caught a lot of crabs, at least half a bucket. When she saw Song Shiwei shoveling the ugly shell with a shovel, she couldn't help but curl her lips. Isn't this thing too ugly? The soft meat inside is twisting!
My hair stands on end when I see her!
It's such a disgusting thing, and it's a pity that she can eat it!
Anyway, she was quite satisfied with her bucket. It could be eaten simply by steaming it, and no seasoning was needed!
When the tide started to rise, Song Shiwei helped Xiao Cui review the characters she had learned yesterday, and learned some new characters, and then led Zhou Cheng and the others back.
For dinner, she cooked a pot of cornmeal porridge, stir-fried some spicy eight feet, steamed some crabs, and made two bowls of steamed eggs with clams for Zhou Wei and Xinxin.
There were a lot of mantis shrimps yesterday, so she made stir-fried mantis shrimps with scallions.
The children and Chow Ting-yue all enjoyed the meal very much.
After dinner, I also have to make the canned fruit that I promised Xinxin.
I've been busy with the oven since I got home last night, and forgot about the canning.
This canned fruit is also easy to make.
But first, she had to sterilize the canned fruit bottles by boiling them in water.
This way it can be stored for a longer time without going bad.
Then wash the peaches, peel and core them, cut them into small pieces, and put them in a pot with rock sugar and cook them for about 20 minutes. Pour them into sterilized cans and let them cool.
Although Zhou Wei and Xinxin were already full, they were still staring at the food with gusto.
Song Shiwei was afraid of burning them, so she didn't dare let them taste it: "Wait a while, you can eat it when it cools down!"
As he was speaking, he suddenly heard a commotion outside the door.
"Song Shiwei is hurting people!!! It's all Song Shiwei who hurt my little Douzi!! My poor son!!"
"Song Shiwei, come out! If anything happens to my son, I will fight you to the death!"
