Otherwise, I would end up in the same situation as Sister Wang.
Aunt Wang also looked into her bucket, and exclaimed in surprise after one glance: "Wow! Wanwan, you have too much!"
Her voice immediately drew everyone's attention.
They stared in disbelief at the blue crabs and sandworms in Xiang Wanwan's bucket.
They usually don't even see a blue crab, how did she manage to collect so many!
This luck is incredible!
Two women hurriedly stepped forward.
"Comrade Xiang, could you exchange two of your blue crabs for me? I have rice and smoked meat here."
bacon?
She'd been eating seafood all day and had almost forgotten what pork tasted like.
Although we can't get fresh meat, smoked meat is still pretty good.
"Sure, sister-in-law! Half a pound of smoked meat for two blue crabs."
"Okay, okay! These two blue crabs of yours weigh more than a pound each, so I'm getting a good deal."
"If you have anything good in the future, you can come back to exchange it."
"Good, good! Comrade Xiang is indeed worthy of being the leader's wife; she is truly a generous person."
Seeing this, the people nearby also stepped forward to exchange things with Xiang Wanwan.
In the end, she kept three blue crabs and a pound of sandworms.
I traded half a pound of smoked meat and three pounds of rice.
Now she no longer has to worry about food. Although her family doesn't have much surplus food, she can manage by going to the beach!
At this rate, she won't be able to finish all the food she eats each month.
When she got home, she gave Wang's wife half a pound of sandworms and a pound of rice.
"Sister-in-law, why don't you use these sandworms to make some porridge for the children? It'll be so delicious!"
"Here's a pound of rice for you! There are still several days before we get our supplies next month, so you can eat this first."
Aunt Wang looked at the things in her hands and waved her hands repeatedly in refusal.
"No! No! These are things you worked so hard to get. You've already helped us enough before, and now you're taking so much more. I can't accept it."
Xiang Wanwan shoved the things into her hands, saying, "Sister-in-law, you saved my life. These things are nothing, take them!"
Seeing that she was determined to do so, Aunt Wang immediately went to the kitchen and brought out a small jar a moment later.
"Wanwan, your sister-in-law doesn't have anything fancy, but you can have this jar of pickled cucumbers. They're a great side dish to have with your porridge."
Xiang Wanwan knew that if she didn't accept them, Wang Sao would probably feel embarrassed to take them.
So she took it and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law. I love your pickled cucumbers."
After returning from next door, Xiang Wanwan began to process the sandworms.
Rinse the sandworms with clean water to remove the mucus on their surface, then gently cut them open with scissors to remove the sand sac and mud inside, and rinse them several times.
The sandworms are considered properly processed when they appear translucent and free of sand.
Next, without adding oil, put the sandworms directly into the pot and dry-fry them until they are dry and have a fragrant aroma. This step is key to making the sandworm porridge delicious.
After stir-frying, put it directly into a pot, use spring water to cook porridge, and add some shredded ginger.
While the porridge was cooking, a wonderful aroma wafted out, making Xiang Wanwan's mouth water.
When Lu Jingnian returned, Xiang Wanwan's sandworm porridge was ready.
She filled two bowls and placed them on the table, then served them with Wang Sao's pickled cucumbers.
She looked at Lu Jingnian, "Try it quickly."
Before Lu Jingnian could even pick up his chopsticks, she picked up her own chopsticks and took a sip.
Sure enough, it made my eyebrows fall out!
Xiang Wanwan's face was full of enjoyment.
Isn't all the busyness of life just for this one bite?
At this moment, she felt all her unhappiness disappear, completely absorbed in the delicious food. (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
