The clams have now mostly expelled the sand.
The large blue crab with the broken leg was still thrashing about in the bucket.
Although it is relatively expensive, it would take 30 kilograms of clams to equal the price of one.
However, since it hurt Huanhuan, then let's feed it!
Just as they were about to start a fire, Gu Erniu returned with Gu Sigou.
"Sister, we're back!" Si Gou's cheerful voice came from outside.
Gu Lili peeked out and saw that both of them were carrying loads of dry branches on their backs.
She quickly ran over, first taking the things off Si Gou, and then helping Er Niu put them down.
Gu Sigou probably tripped and fell; his face and body were covered in mud.
Si Gou, however, didn't care at all and said with a smile in his eyes, "Sister, look, what is this!"
As he spoke, he carefully pulled two round eggs out of his pocket.
Gu Lili exclaimed in surprise, "These must be pheasant eggs!"
"Beep, wild eggs, two coins each."
The mechanical voice rang in Gu Lili's mind again, but she ignored it.
Si Gou proudly handed it to Gu Lili, saying, "I found this!"
Erniu rolled his eyes at him, annoyed, and said, "Look at you, so capable!"
The three of them couldn't help but burst into laughter; they could have an extra meal tonight.
Perfect! A seafood congee and a stir-fried shepherd's purse with eggs—delicious!
Hearing the commotion inside, Gu Huanhuan put down her needlework and limped out.
"Second Brother, Fourth Dog, what good stuff have you found?"
The sharp-eyed Erniu rushed over, supporting Huanhuan while asking, "Huanhuan, what happened to your foot?"
Gu Sigou also ran over, looking at his second sister with a pained expression.
Gu Huanhuan recounted the events of the day in a calm and collected manner, but Gu Sigou cried with heartache.
"Third sister, are you still in pain?" Gu Sigou cried.
Seeing Gu Sigou cry, Gu Huanhuan patted his head and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore!"
To distract Gu Sigou, Huanhuan continued, "My sister even said she was going to cook Guo Suo for me, as revenge!"
Gu Sigou stopped crying and looked at Gu Lili with curiosity.
Gu Lili nodded heavily, and he then insisted on going to watch his sister cook Guo Suo.
Children's emotions really do come and go quickly.
Gu Lili smiled and shook her head, then led Gu Sigou towards the kitchen.
Gu Erniu helped Gu Huanhuan inside to rest, and then went into the kitchen to help with the fire.
Gu Lili put the white rice into the pot, told Gu Erniu to watch the pot, and then went to the door to wash the clams.
After vomiting for a while, I've vomited up most of the sand.
Gu Lili rubbed it several times with clean water until the water was no longer cloudy before putting it in a basin for later use.
As for the crab, Gu Lili avoided its only remaining claw and flipped it over by pinching its shell.
With a little effort, the lid on its belly was lifted off, and the crab, which had been flailing its claws, immediately stopped struggling.
This action left the four dogs squatting to the side dumbfounded.
"Sister, you're amazing!" Si Gou praised without reservation.
He'd seen this thing at the beach before; many people who went to the beach had been pinched by it.
Therefore, Gu Siniu would always keep his distance whenever he saw Guo Suo.
Gu Lili was clearly pleased with Gu Siniu's flattery, and she worked even harder at her tasks.
The aroma of rice soon filled the kitchen. Gu Lili took the washed ingredients in and went to watch the pot.
Gu Erniu stirred it from time to time, and the pot didn't burn.
Seeing that the crab was almost cooked, Gu Lili cut it into smaller pieces with a knife, cracked its two large claws with the back of a knife, and then threw them all into the pot.
You can add the clams later, as they cook very quickly.
Soon after the seafood was added, the pot was filled with its aroma.
All three of them swallowed hard.
Neither Gu Erniu nor Gu Sigou expected that something as ugly as Guo Suo could emit such an enticing fragrance.
A thorny problem was now before Gu Lili, and Gu Sigou was staring intently at the pot.
She wanted to buy some seasoning to remove the fishy smell from the mall, but she didn't have the chance to put it in.
Gu Lili looked around and saw the shepherd's purse on the ground. She said, "Si Gou, go wash the shepherd's purse for me. I'll fry some eggs for you later!"
Gu Sigou nodded hurriedly, grabbed the shepherd's purse from the ground, and took it to wash.
Gu Lili also bought seasonings and secretly put them in the stove while Erniu was putting firewood in.
Gu Erniu, who had added firewood to the fire, was tempted by the aroma emanating from the pot, but his brows were furrowed.
He also had a concern: Is this stuff really edible? Could it cause poisoning?
Gu Lili was focused on the pot and didn't notice Gu Erniu's expression.
Seeing that the crabs were almost done, Gu Lili put the clams into the pot.
A few minutes later, the clams opened. Gu Lili added a spoonful of lard and some salt, then ladled out the porridge.
Gu Sigou had almost finished washing the shepherd's purse. Gu Lili chopped the shepherd's purse, then beat the eggs and fry them with a spoonful of lard.
Gu Huanhuan, drawn by the aroma, hopped over, albeit with a limp.
"Wow, sister, today's meal is so delicious!" Gu Huanhuan exclaimed with a smile.
Gu Siniu, being sensible, helped Gu Huanhuan sit down and said, "Yes, second sister, ever since you woke up, I feel like I'm celebrating the New Year every day!"
The siblings burst into laughter. Gu Huanhuan pointed to the bright red crabs in the bowl and asked, "Sister, is this Guo Suo? It looks so good, but can we really eat it?"
In the summer, mushrooms grow on their mountain, and their mother carefully instructed them not to pick the brightly colored ones.
Brightly colored animals are usually highly poisonous.
Gu Erniu asked with a worried look, "Sister, are we really going to eat this? How do you know it's edible?"
This isn't the first time Guo Suo has appeared at the beach; his sister has never caught or eaten him before.
Seeing how skilled her sister was, Gu Erniu became increasingly puzzled.
Gu Lili pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "I heard about it from passersby when I went to the market yesterday. But the two of them didn't seem to be locals. They described it so vividly that I was really tempted, so I decided to give it a try."
After Gu Lili said that, the three children's doubts were largely dispelled.
However, just as the greedy Gu Siniu was about to pick up his chopsticks, Gu Erniu stopped him.
"Four Dogs, don't eat yet, let me try it first before you eat!"
Gu Erniu was still worried that it was poisoned. He thought he would try it first, and if it was going to be poisoned, he would be the only one poisoned first.
Si Gou obediently put down his chopsticks, unaware of what his second brother was thinking.
It's just being obedient.
