In fact, people from Chang'an are good-looking, capable, and meticulous.
Anyway, Gu Lili can't go back, so if...
Thinking of this, Gu Lili's face turned bright red.
Forget it, forget it, let's not think about it anymore. We'll wait until we find a home in Chang'an before we talk about anything else.
People get married so young these days, there might even be children in Chang'an by now.
Thinking of this, Gu Lili didn't even realize that her eyes had dimmed.
To reach the shore, one must cross the confluence of the stream and the sea.
Gu Lili walked with her head down, but her sharp eyes spotted a crab claw peeking out from a crevice in the rocks.
She hurriedly put down the teapot and teacup in her hand and went to move the rock.
Fortunately, the stone wasn't very heavy, and Gu Lili moved it easily.
The crabs under the rocks were startled and were about to flee.
Gu Lili reacted quickly and pressed down on its back, preventing it from escaping.
With no one around, Gu Lili bought a ball of thread from her spatial storage and quickly tied the crab up.
Gu Lili did not intend to sell the blue crab into her spatial storage; instead, she planned to catch more.
I promised Chang'an that day that I would let him try it.
Of course, Gu Lili believes that the most important reason is that the children in her family haven't eaten crabs in a long time.
Once the crab was tied up, Gu Lili casually tossed it aside, since it couldn't escape now anyway.
Gu Lili rolled up her trouser legs and continued searching for stones. Soon, she found several more.
She tied them all up in the same way, threw them together, and planned to take them home together later.
"Oh, Lili, you have such a fun toy, and you're secretly playing with it by yourself without even telling me!"
After delivering the conch shell, Lin Xiyao noticed that Gu Lili hadn't returned. She then asked Gu Yanyu to watch the carriage while she, along with Cuizhu, followed Chang'an and Gu Chenxi back to look for Gu Lili.
Seeing the crabs on the shore, Lin Xiyao was very envious.
Gu Lili didn't even take her along when she went crabbing; that's really not very considerate.
Gu Lili looked up and saw Lin Xiyao glaring at her angrily.
If someone who didn't know the situation saw this, they would think that Gu Lili was a heartless and cruel person who had bullied Lin Xiyao.
Gu Lili pointed to the stone in front of her and said, "Yaoyao, come quick, there's one in here. I'll lift her up, and you quickly hold her back down."
Upon hearing Gu Lili's words, Lin Xiyao immediately forgot her anger and ran towards Gu Lili.
"Lili, where are you?" Lin Xiyao asked anxiously.
Gu Lili pointed to the crevice in the rock and sure enough, she saw the crab's claws.
"Just hold it down for a bit, and I'll teach you how to catch it. Be careful of its pincers; they're very strong," Gu Lili said cautiously, afraid of startling the crab.
Lin Xiyao quickly nodded, looking nervously into the crack in the rock.
Gu Lili counted to three in her mind and immediately used all her strength to lift the stone.
Lin Xiyao, in perfect unison, quickly pressed down on the crab's back.
With Gu Lili's reminder, Lin Xiyao became very cautious.
He simply pressed hard on the crab's back, without actually trying to pick it up.
"Lili! Lili! Look, I've caught it!" Lin Xiyao said excitedly.
Others also gathered around to watch, and Gu Lili took the opportunity to teach them how to catch the crab without giving it a chance to hurt them.
Looking at Lin Xiyao's happy face, Gu Lili couldn't help but laugh along with her.
She gave Lin Xiyao a thumbs up without hesitation, "Yaoyao, you're amazing! Look, you have to pinch the crab's back half so its claws can't reach it."
After hearing what Gu Lili said, Lin Xiyao did as she was told.
She picked up the crab, and there it was, the ugly creature with its pincers outstretched, waving them around.
However, Lin Xiyao's hand was behind it, and it remained unmoved no matter how it waved its arms.
"Hehe, of course!" Lin Xiyao said without any politeness.
Gu Lili took the crab from Lin Xiyao's hand and quickly tied it up amidst astonished gazes.
With her previous experience, Gu Lili became increasingly adept at tying up the crabs.
Gu Lili tied up the crabs and continued catching them.
The few crabs in front of them weren't even enough for one each; they needed to catch more to have enough to eat.
The others followed Gu Lili's example, searching everywhere under the stones.
Soon, Gu Chenxi found the crab and caught it.
However, she brought a bucket when she came yesterday, but she didn't have a bucket today, so she could only do what Gu Lili did and tie it up.
Gu Lili's ball of thread was on the ground, but Chenxi was sweating profusely and still hadn't tied the crab properly.
Seeing this, Gu Lili quickly came over to help.
"Chenxi, go find some more, I'll tie them up!" Gu Lili said with a smile.
Tying this thing requires skill; if you're not familiar with it, you can easily get caught.
Before Gu Lili had finished tying up Gu Chenxi, Lin Xiyao grabbed another one.
Next comes Chang'an, with its verdant bamboo groves...
Gu Lili simply stopped trying to catch them and sat down by the rock to tie up the crabs.
With the addition of a few people, the number of crabs in front of Gu Lili gradually increased.
Seeing that it was almost ready, Gu Lili quickly called out, "Let's go back, we've had enough to eat."
Lin Xiyao had been collecting sea snails for a long time and catching crabs for a while, and she was already exhausted.
At Gu Lili's call, she almost didn't think twice, put down the half-moved stone and walked towards Gu Lili.
"Let's go back, let's get some rest tonight and come back tomorrow!" Lin Xiyao said to Gu Lili as they walked.
Although Lin Xiyao was tired, she was clearly not done playing.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and walked over to Gu Lili.
Gu Lili strung the crabs into a long chain, and Chang'an carried it towards the carriage.
After returning home and resting for a while, Gu Lili started preparing dinner.
Today, Gu Lili decided to change the flavor of the crabs and make them into spicy crabs.
When no one was paying attention, Gu Lili bought some of her favorite side dishes from her spatial storage.
There are lotus roots, lettuce, potatoes, and cauliflower.
Gu Lili and Gu Chenxi cleaned the crabs thoroughly, and then Gu Lili used a kitchen knife to cut the crabs in half.
Some people use the back of a knife to crack the crab claws, which helps them absorb the flavor better later.
After cutting up the crab, Gu Lili started heating the oil in a wok.
Seeing that half a pot of oil had been poured out, Gu Chenxi felt a pang of heartache, but she gradually got used to Gu Lili's lifestyle.
The aroma of crabs quickly spread as soon as they were put into the pot.
Wow, it smells so good!
