"Ah! Sister, sister! I caught it, I caught it, look!"
Gu Huanhuan held the five or six-pound parrotfish in her arms and excitedly shouted to Gu Lili.
Seeing Gu Huanhuan's happy expression, Gu Lili couldn't help but feel happy too.
"My Huanhuan is so amazing!" Gu Lili praised sincerely.
I always thought that if I found some playmates for her, Gu Huanhuan would be happier.
It seems that we should take Gu Huanhuan out more often now.
Liu Miaoyin also gave Gu Huanhuan a thumbs up, while Xiao Mulian looked at Gu Huanhuan with envy.
Gu Lili carried the wooden bucket over and had Gu Huanhuan put the fish inside.
While filling the container with water, they secretly put several fish inside.
There were small yellow croakers, pomfret, saury, and sole in the puddle where the two people were.
Since they all enjoy catching fish, let them catch as many as they want.
"Oh my, there are fish in there too, Little Magnolia! Quick, let's catch some more!" Gu Huanhuan said happily.
Just now, fish were even squeezing up to her feet.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Mulan immediately perked up and continued touching it.
After Liu Miaoyin caught an octopus, she gradually became bolder.
If she hadn't already reached marriageable age, she would have really wanted to take off her shoes and socks like the two children.
Enjoy splashing around in the puddles to your heart's content!
"Miaoyin, come quick, there's more!" Gu Chenxi called out to Liu Miaoyin.
Liu Miaoyin hurriedly walked towards Gu Chenxi.
Gu Lili simply became their backup; whoever caught seafood, she would carry the bucket over.
Liu Miaoyin caught several octopuses in a row, feeling an unprecedented sense of relaxation and satisfaction.
It turns out that happiness doesn't necessarily mean having a lot of money.
Liu Miaoyin was grabbing something with great enthusiasm when she suddenly saw something with bared teeth and claws crawling towards her.
Startled, she backed away repeatedly, almost falling to the ground.
Fortunately, Gu Chenxi reacted quickly and caught her.
Gu Chenxi followed Liu Miaoyin's gaze and was startled as well.
"Miss...Miss, come and see! There are such big blue crabs here!" Gu Chenxi stammered.
Gu Lili knew what the two were talking about without even walking over.
It wasn't some blue crab at all; it was a king crab that Gu Lili bought at a huge expense.
Gu Chenxi looked at the bright red crab in front of her, which seemed different from the blue crab.
At least the color is different, and its size is many times larger than that of a blue crab.
Seeing that the king crab was about to crawl towards Liu Miaoyin and Gu Chenxi, Gu Lili was worried that it would hurt the two of them, so she quickly stepped on it to stop it.
"This isn't a blue crab, it's a king crab!" Gu Lili explained.
Then, she deftly took out a rope from her sleeve and tied the king crab up, preventing it from crawling around.
Gu Chenxi and Liu Miaoyin's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and even Gu Huanhuan and Xiao Mulian stopped catching fish and looked over here.
Gu Chenxi stared at the king crab and asked tremblingly, "King crab, isn't it the king of crabs?"
Gu Lili nodded. "That's one way to explain it."
Gu Chenxi had been to Gu Lili's house and the beach countless times, but she had never seen a king crab like this before.
Not only in the past, but also in the decades that followed, Gu Chenxi never picked up king crabs on the shore again.
So much so that when she was old and brought her grandchildren to the beach, when she told them this funny story, her grandchildren all thought that their grandmother was just teasing them.
Even when Liu Miaoyin came to confirm it for them, these little ones still didn't believe it.
However, that's a story for another time.
Liu Miaoyin hurriedly brought over the bucket, but unfortunately, their bucket was simply too small to hold the king crab.
"It's okay, I'll just hold the rope like this."
As Gu Lili spoke, she picked up the king crab.
Startled, Liu Miaoyin retreated several steps, asking in terror, "Lili, don't tell me this thing is edible?"
Seeing Gu Lili nod, Liu Miaoyin felt that this overturned her common sense.
She never imagined that so many strange and unusual things could be used to fill her stomach.
"Take a look and see if there's any other seafood. Let's grab some and head back quickly."
Gu Lili glanced at the sky and urged.
It's almost time to cook, so let's hurry and grab some seafood to make a seafood feast.
The four nodded in unison and continued their search.
When Gu Lili saw that the harvest in the bucket was about the same as what she had given out, she urged everyone to go home.
The haul of two buckets of seafood and a king crab filled the group with immense excitement.
The group walked the short distance of a little over fifteen minutes with remarkable ease.
Back home, the king crab in Gu Lili's hands naturally attracted a crowd.
After they finished reading and started discussing it amongst themselves, Gu Lili went to the kitchen to prepare it.
Today's dishes are all seafood.
There's steamed king crab, braised octopus, pickled fish, pan-fried yellow croaker, and snow-white fish soup. A plate of stir-fried snails with chives is also a must.
Gu Lili was worried that Liu Miaoyin and Liu Ying wouldn't be used to the food, so she asked Gu Chenxi to cook a few of her signature dishes.
Han Mingyue didn't come today because Gu Lili asked Gu Yanyu to tell him.
There are too many people at home lately, so I really don't have the energy to take care of him anymore. I told him not to come over for meals anymore.
Once the canteen is built, if you really don't want to cook, you can eat there.
Gu Lili prepared the king crab and quickly saved two crab legs, waiting for Zhang Dahua and Gu Yun Chu to come back and try them.
When all the dishes were served, everyone couldn't help but crane their necks to look at the king crab.
Everyone exclaimed in amazement at how enormous the crab was.
Liu Miaoyin, Liu Ying, and Yu Shanhai had never seen a crab before, and looking at the bright red crab in front of them, they felt a little scared.
"Miaoyin, Madam Liu, you must try it."
Seeing their expressions, Gu Lili reached out and picked up a piece of crab meat for each of them to try.
The mother and daughter looked at the crab meat in the bowl, swallowed hard, and hesitated to try it.
Yu Shanhai had eaten the mutton cooked by Gu Lili, and he thought that Gu Lili was able to make such a gamey mutton taste so good.
The crab in front of me must be quite good.
So, he picked up a piece of crab and, under the watchful eyes of Liu Miaoyin and Liu Ying, put it in his mouth and chewed.
"Wow! It's so fresh and sweet!" Yu Shanhai exclaimed as he chewed.
Even his eyebrows relaxed, and he looked completely relaxed.
Apart from the three of them, everyone else had eaten blue crabs, so they felt it was normal for Liu Ying and her daughter to have such drastically different reactions compared to Yu Shanhai and his two companions.
Before they ate the blue crabs, they were just like Liu Ying and her son.
After eating crabs, it's just like Yushan and Hai.
