Unless it's a holiday or when guests come over, we won't go to the trouble of serving chicken, fish, meat, and pork knuckles.
Even then, the focus is on affordability, and the combination of dishes is not that important.
The children are still young, and they eat a lot at her house, so they think they can eat just as well at home!
Chen Hong told them, "You all know that Aunt Hong has a boat and knows how to fish, which is why our family has so many fish and shrimp to eat."
Your parents work on land, and if they want to eat fish and shrimp, they have to spend money to buy them.
They are reluctant to spend money; they want to save it for your tuition, buying a house, and for your future marriage and dowry!
Now that you're all grown up, you should try to help with household chores as much as possible.
My parents have it so hard! They work all day long just to earn a meager amount of money!
They themselves are reluctant to spend money on food and clothing, only thinking about saving money to buy you a house, get you married, and pay for your schooling.
They're under a lot of pressure! They want to give you everything other kids have, so you don't feel inferior!
Xiao Hao asked in bewilderment, "Aunt Hong, how can you earn so much money? Why do our parents earn so little money when they work?"
Chen Hong couldn't help but laugh; this was probably a common problem for many people in the village.
“Let me tell you, fishing can make money. There are so many people in our village, why don’t they all go out to fish?”
Because the sea is rough and dangerous! Many people not only failed to make money, but also died at sea.
Nobody wants to go fishing at sea if they can earn money on land; the pay is less, but it's safer!
But Aunt Hong is different from them. She is a good swimmer, so even if there are storms, I can come back safely.
Aunt Hong was born to be a fisherman! No one in our village can swim as well as her!
Wang Xin muttered to himself, "No wonder Grandpa Village Chief said that none of the men in the village earn as much money as Aunt Hong!"
Chen Hong warned them: "You can't compare your parents to Aunt Hong."
My swimming skills are innate; it's a natural talent that can't be developed through training. Most people simply can't compare.
“We know, my grandma said everyone has their own destiny! Aunt Hong is blessed by the Dragon King!” Xiao Hao is a clever little devil.
After lunch, while the children were doing their crafts, Chen Hong played a segment of Guo Degang's crosstalk for them.
While doing crafts, Yu Yang told the two of them about watching Deyun Club live. After recounting some funny moments from the show, he added, "Xiao Hao, when you grow up, you should become a crosstalk performer!"
Xiao Hao tilted his head, puzzled, and asked, "Didn't we agree that we'd join the army together when we grew up? Why do I have to become a comedian?"
Yu Yang sighed: "You look like Yue Yunpeng's biological son, you'd definitely be famous if you did crosstalk!"
You can also earn a lot of money, and then you'll have money to buy whatever you want to eat.
If he joined the army with us and made us laugh during a mission, we'd definitely be exposed and captured by the bad guys!
Xiao Hao and Wang Xin were completely dumbfounded, while Chen Hong next to them couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Last night, Chen Hong thought that Xiao Hao's face shape after losing weight was almost identical to Yue Yunpeng's!
Yu Yang really has a knack for making connections. Isn't Xiao Hao just a mini version of Yue Yunpeng now?
Seeing Chen Hong laughing so hard she was practically falling over, Yu Yang smiled sheepishly.
Xiao Hao and Wang Xin, who had never seen Yue Yunpeng before, were completely dumbfounded, their faces full of question marks!
The mother and son laughed even harder when they saw their silly, clueless expressions.
Chen Hong laughed as she went back upstairs. She still had a lot of work to do and no time to play with the children.
After locking the door and entering the space, Chen Hong immediately began soaking the pearl oysters in the space's water with salt, preparing to extract the pearls.
Extracting pearls from pearl oysters is much easier than extracting them from coconut shells. All you need to do is open the pearl oyster, insert a wooden wedge, and hold the shells together to prevent them from closing.
Just reach in and feel around to see if there are any hard objects. Pearls are foreign objects inside the shellfish, and they have a completely different feel from the shellfish meat.
You can quickly tell if there are pearls by touch, which is much easier than retrieving pearls from a snail that you can't reach.
These pearl oysters are actually called Pinctada martensii, also known as Hepu pearl oyster.
This type of shell has a very distinctive shape; the front half is semi-circular, the tail is slightly longer, and it is neatly arranged in a straight line.
It is said that the famous Akoya pearls are cultivated in this type of Pinctada martensii oyster, and the most beautiful Hanadama and Tennyo pearls come from these Pinctada martensii oysters in cold-current seawater.
Chen Hong harvested tens of thousands of kilograms of various pearl oysters, which were not as rare as coconut snails, so her pearl-picking technique was rather rough.
Soak the shells in salt water to open them, then insert wooden wedges and reach into the shell meat to feel inside.
Pinctada martensii oysters without pearls are thrown into aquaculture tanks to be sold as live seafood.
If there are pearls, use a dagger to cut directly through the middle membrane of the shell and forcefully open the shell.
If you just pry the pearl out, the shell will definitely die.
He casually used a dagger to scoop out the clam meat and put it into a clean bowl next to him.
These scallop meats shouldn't be wasted either. Take some time to clean them, dry them, and they become very delicious dried scallop meat.
After soaking, it's delicious whether stir-fried with chives, braised, stewed in soup, or cooked in porridge.
Fresh clam meat is rich in seventeen kinds of amino acids and has high nutritional value. It can be eaten directly as sashimi; it is sweet, tender, and delicious.
Fresh clams are fragrant, smooth, and tender. They can be pan-fried, deep-fried, stir-fried, steamed, stewed, or boiled, each cooking method bringing out their sweetness, juiciness, and delicate smoothness.
The seashells shouldn't be wasted either; they should be thrown into the bamboo basket next to them and given to the elderly women in the village.
They will make beautiful handicrafts and sell them to tourists to increase their income.
