Chapter 320 Swimming
Then he tied a rope around his waist and dived into the sea.
The water in the place chosen by Gu Cheng is not very deep.
Moreover, there was a large ship docked nearby, so when going out to sea, you could tie a rope around your waist and tie the other end of the rope to the ship.
This way, going into the sea will be much safer.
Liu Yinyin swam around in the water and found that there were quite a lot of seafood below.
Conch, abalone, crab, big fish and shrimp...
Especially in places with many reefs, perhaps because there are fewer people, the fish and shrimps there are even more densely packed.
Liu Yinyin untied the net bag tied around her waist and put the big crabs, abalone and snails into the bag.
He came up from time to time to breathe, and soon the bag was full.
Liu Yinyin took a breath and started swimming back.
Gu Cheng was really frightened by her: "You are really brave. Do you know how dangerous the sea is?"
"I know, it didn't swim far." Liu Yinyin untied the rope around her waist and shook the bag in her hand, "Look what I caught."
Among other things, she found two palm-sized abalones among the rocks.
Gu Yanyan was wearing shorts, and her eyes lit up instantly: "Wow ~ Mom is awesome."
Gu Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Don't take risks next time. Buying seafood is not expensive."
Liu Yinyin didn't plan to come here often: "I come here once in a while, just as a way to exercise my body."
There are few entertainment activities these days, and swimming is indeed a good leisure sport.
Not only Liu Yinyin, Gu Cheng himself also likes swimming.
After Liu Yinyin came up, she watched Gu Cheng dive into the water and came up after a long time.
Like her, he was holding a net bag, which was also full of harvests.
The sun was about to set, and the family of three rode their bicycles home.
As soon as I reached the door, I ran into Zheng Qiangwei who was going to the cafeteria to get food.
Zheng Qiangwei looked at the postures of the few people and knew that they were going swimming.
"You guys are really capable of doing this," he said enviously.
These days, Liu Yinyin's family works during the day and goes out swimming at night. They are really energetic.
However, Zheng Qiangwei looked quite envious. It seemed that the family had a good relationship when they went out to play like this.
Liu Yinyin smiled at her and asked her, "Are you going out to get food? I got a lot of seafood, do you want some?"
Seafood is relatively easy to handle, you can eat it by just steaming or frying it.
If you like a stronger flavor, you can add some chili sauce or garlic sauce.
Zheng Qianwei didn't bother to be polite with Liu Yinyin: "Okay, I'll just make two dishes, so we don't have to go to the cafeteria to get food."
Liu Yinyin let her pick whatever she wanted. There was so much seafood that her family couldn’t finish it all.
Zheng Qiangwei picked two crabs and a few small octopuses, just enough to stir-fry a dish.
Liu Yinyin picked another handful of vegetables for her.
When I came out of the shower, Gu Cheng had already steamed the rice and almost prepared the seafood.
Keep the conch in water to spit out the sand, and then eat it after two days. Abalone can also be kept first.
Eat the remaining crabs and shrimps in the evening.
Liu Yinyin skillfully steamed the crabs, made garlic shrimps and stir-fried millet vegetables.
After dinner, the family of three enjoyed the cool air in the yard.
Liu Yinyin was lying on the recliner with her head tilted back and her hair falling to the ground.
Gu Cheng was squatting behind her at this moment, holding a pair of scissors in his hand...
Yes, he was cutting Liu Yinyin's hair.
Liu Yinyin had originally planned to go to Qing City to get her hair cut, but Gu Cheng said he could help.
Thinking that he was the one who cut Gu Yanyan's hair on weekdays, Liu Yinyin agreed to let him cut her hair.
It's just a shorter cut anyway.
Liu Yinyin was lying on a chair, her legs swaying, and she made small talk: "My second sister-in-law will be here in a few days."
Brother Liu has already rented a house, and coincidentally, the place he rented is not far from Aunt Wang's home.
I can talk to Aunt Wang about this later. Aunt Wang’s husband is the village party secretary and he may be able to take care of it.
Gu Cheng carefully cut her hair without looking up and said, "When my second sister-in-law comes, invite her to our house for dinner."
It can also be considered as a gesture of courtesy to the landlord.
Liu Yinyin thought, "We'll see when the time comes. Maybe we'll go to eat at my second brother's place. It just so happens that my second brother told me last time that he wanted you to go to his rented house to take a look around, so that no one in the village would bully them because they are outsiders."
Gu Cheng said, "Okay, I'll find the village chief and ask them to help look after my second brother's family."
Liu Yinyin said happily: "This is even better..."
The next day, the couple happened to be resting.
They didn't stay at home. The family of three finished breakfast early in the morning and packed up to go to Qing City.
When the weather is good, there are boats to Qingshi from the island every day, departing on time at 7 o'clock.
This time we were going out to play, and the family didn't bring anything except cups for drinking water.
Liu Yinyin was wearing a hat and looked up at the sky. The weather was quite good today and not too hot.
Not many people go to Qing City.
At about eleven o'clock, the boat arrived in Qingshi.
Liu Yinyin was completely unfamiliar with Qing City: "Where are we going?"
Gu Cheng hugged Gu Yanyan and said, "Let's go eat first, and then go shopping in the department store?"
Qingshi is close to the sea and is a prosperous big city with several state-owned hotels.
They found the nearest state-owned hotel to eat. The hotel was very large and had three floors.
Because it is close to the sea, most of the food served in the hotel is seafood, which is also considered the local specialty.
And...there is also a food selection area on the first floor, which contains many tanks of big fish and shrimps.
People who come to eat can choose their own ingredients here and then hand them over to the kitchen for processing.
Liu Yinyin didn't expect the hotel here to be so user-friendly.
The seafood in the tank is all fresh, including huge crabs, lobsters as thick as arms, and conches, scallops, etc., which are probably carefully selected and are all very large.
Of course, there are also small seafood, it just depends on whether you are willing to spend the money.
Qian Liuyinyin must have brought enough, but she had eaten too much seafood on the island, so these things were not very fresh to her.
Compared with seafood, she now wants to eat meat more, such as stir-fried pork with peppers, braised pork with brown sauce, sweet and sour spareribs...
Otherwise, you can eat some pig's trotters and liver.
Finally, Liu Yinyin ordered a sweet and sour pork ribs, a green pepper belly slice, and a stewed potato with eggplant.
I also ordered a portion of seafood, blanched conch.
The staple food is steamed buns.
There were quite a lot of people in the hotel. If they hadn't arrived early, there probably wouldn't be any seats left.
"This conch is good..." Liu Yinyin's eyes lit up.
The conch meat dipped in the sauce tastes really good, especially tender and fresh, without any fishy smell.
Liu Yinyin also usually makes blanched snails and blanched prawns.
But the sauce she made herself was not as good as the one in the restaurant.
Liu Yinyin dipped her chopsticks in some of the sauce and tasted it. There was a faint smell of Chinese medicine, but she couldn't tell what it was.
