Chapter 1252 Visiting
At night in this season, the water temperature in the ditches and ridges is still very cold.
After nearly two hours, I caught half a bucket of eels that would not move when the flashlight was turned on, but I didn't see many crabs.
Fortunately, when I got up early the next day to collect the traps, I found a few slightly larger ones in the traps, which were enough for me to have a fresh bite.
The crabs in this month are not fat and there is no yellow inside.
It’s not very interesting to eat when steamed, but it tastes delicious when cooked into porridge.
Fu Jingyou does what he thinks.
Tian Guihua had never done this before, so he did it himself.
Go home, clean the crabs, pick all the crabs that need to be picked, and then use a kitchen knife to cut them in half.
Add it together with shredded ginger to the washed and soaked rice in a big-bellied soup pot, and simmer it slowly on a small stove.
Lu Miao smelled the unique fresh fragrance when he woke up.
The temperature seems to be a little higher today.
Lu Miaoshao put on a small jacket and combed his hair in the room before going out.
In the main room, Minjie and Minrui followed Tian Guihua and were standing around the big table, pointing at the big-bellied soup pot on the table and talking about something.
Seeing her come out, Minjie greeted her embarrassedly:
"Little aunt."
Lu Miao closed the door and nodded gently, then asked with a gentle smile:
"What delicious food did you make today? Why does it smell so good?"
The crab porridge in the soup pot has an indescribable fragrance, and Minjie has been craving it for a while.
But no matter how greedy he was, Minjie still remained reserved in front of his aunt and took two steps to the side, away from the table.
Minjie turned his head to look at his mother, stammered a few times and said nothing.
Although he is sensitive, he is young and doesn't understand many things, but he has a kind of honest and brave spirit.
Unlike his brother's shyness, Minrui said loudly:
"Aunt, it's porridge! My uncle is cooking it on the stove!"
Tian Guihua laughed for a while.
He patted the sharp-witted fool on the head and explained to Lu Miao with a smile:
"It's porridge, made with crabs! Xiaoliu is so clever. He came back from collecting crabs this morning and said he wanted to make it. This is the first time I've heard of it, and I didn't help him much... He spent the whole morning tinkering with this himself. You have to try it!"
Lu Miao curled the corners of his lips, revealing a quiet smile of understanding on his face.
Before I could say anything, the sharp voice rang out again:
"Auntie, this porridge smells so good, I want to eat it too!"
Lu Miao smiled and nodded, saying gently:
"Okay, let's eat together."
Minrui grinned and quickly took his bowl and chopsticks from the corner of the table and handed them to Tian Guihua:
"Second Mom, I want a big bowl! Give me a big bowl!"
Tian Guihua glanced at Minrui with annoyance, and when she saw that the crab porridge in the soup pot was quite filling, she took the bowl without saying anything.
Lu Miao looked at the scene with a smile, his eyes flickered and he didn't see Fu Jingyou, so he asked Tian Guihua:
"Second sister-in-law, where is Brother You?"
"Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu is in the backyard."
Hearing this, Lu Miao took his toiletries and went to the backyard.
Tian Guihua put the sharp bowl aside and took Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou's bowls first.
After serving Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou, Tian Guihua began to serve her and the two children.
The porridge was just cooked and served on the table, and it is still piping hot.
If you serve it out first, you don't have to worry about it getting cold. When the couple finishes their work, it will be just the right time to eat it...
Let’s talk about Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou.
When Lu Miao arrived at the backyard, Fu Jingyou was pumping water into the vegetable washing tank.
He also took the cutting board, kitchen knife and other items to the well.
Lu Miao was curious, squeezed the toothpaste, walked over slowly, took some water and asked:
"What are you busy with? The meal is ready, but you don't even go to eat."
Fu Jingyou smiled and showed her the bucket beside his legs:
"I caught a mandarin fish this morning when I was cleaning up the traps. I'll take it out. If you're hungry this morning, you can steam it and have it for fun."
Lu Miao leaned over to look.
Sure enough, there was a mandarin fish in the bucket, as long as a chopstick and weighing about 70 or 80 grams.
The mandarin fish was flapping its tail wildly, looking very lively.
She withdrew her gaze from the bucket, looked at Fu Jingyou and said:
"We still have a lot of snow clams and bird's nests at home. I'll just eat some. You're going to all that trouble..."
Fu Jingyou's eyebrows were bright and his eyes were full of pampering and teasing:
"Snow frog and bird's nest never go bad, so you can eat them anytime. Let's try a different flavor today."
Lu Miao glared at Fu Jingyou with annoyance, then squatted aside to brush his teeth without saying anything else.
When she got up again, Fu Jingyou had already prepared warm water for washing her face and was sitting at the small table in the kitchen waiting for her.
After she finished washing up, Fu Jingyou casually raised his arm and poured the water out the door.
Then he turned around and raised his chin towards her, and the two of them talked in low voices and went back to the front room to eat.
It's almost time for the strong labor force in the village to go to work.
And some weak labor force, such as the elderly, the sick, pregnant women, etc.
Some of them do what they can at home or in the fields, while others plan their time to visit the Fu family and take a walk.
Lu Miao had just finished half of his meal when two young wives came home.
As soon as the person entered the door, he started chatting with a smile:
"Hey, your family is having dinner so late again?"
Lu Miao blinked and said jokingly:
"I'm just lazy. I eat whenever I wake up from bed."
The young wife named Cuihong said with a smile:
"Sister-in-law Xiaoliu is such a joke. You're not lazy, you're actually sick!"
Lu Miao smiled but said nothing.
Another young wife named Shuangxi curiously leaned over to the table and said:
"What is this food? Why does it smell so good?"
"It's crab porridge."
Tian Guihua answered while glancing at Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou with a smile:
"They had a lot of ideas and spent hours cooking this pot of porridge!"
"Are crabs the 'haizi' we call them here? I know about them."
Shuangxi waved his hands and said in a serious manner:
"This thing only tastes good when you have enough oil in your stomach. Otherwise, not only is it fishy, but it's all just shells, and there's nothing to chew. It's not as good as the mud frogs you catch in the fields!"
When it comes to whether there is fat or water in the stomach, Shuangxi suddenly looks seriously at Minjie and Minrui at the table.
Minjie was strong and seemed to be taller than other children in the village.
Minrui also has a chubby face, a rosy complexion, and is very adorable.
Shuangxi Road:
"Since Xiaoliu's wife has returned home, these two little ones have been eating good food with her, right? Look at this sturdy one..."
Tian Guihua was stunned for a moment, the smile on her face faded a little, and she suddenly stopped talking.
Lu Miao noticed something and was about to speak, but Fu Jingyou spoke first, smiling warmly:
"How can a family eat two different meals? Besides, these two children are no different from my own sons. Their aunt and I have experienced the glory and respectability in the city. Now that we are back home, we can let these children eat, drink, play and have better life conditions. Their aunt and I can say that all these years have not been in vain."
