Chapter 69 River Gourd (2/2)



It had a different scent from meat, a slightly fresh scent that she had never smelled before.

"Mom, take it out and I'll make a dipping sauce."

Minced garlic, chopped onion, vinegar, and some chili.

The best thing about crabs is their own flavor, and they are just as delicious without any dipping sauce.

She brought the vinegar out of the kitchen. In the yard, they were all sitting at a small table with four large crabs on it. None of them were eaten, and they were all waiting for her eagerly.

I don't know how to eat...

Zhao Xiaoyu put down the vinegar, sat down, took a crab and put it in her bowl. She gently pinched the crab's shell and applied force with her thumb. With a "click", the crab shell was opened, and the golden crab roe and crab paste were instantly revealed. The rich and mellow aroma instantly filled the air.

She first carefully removed the crab gills, which were white and soft, like a sponge. As she did so, she said, "The crab gills are the crab's respiratory organs, and they are quite dirty. You must not eat them."

Everyone's eyes were fixed on her movements, just like students listening attentively to a lecture. Zhao Xiaoyu cut the crab body in half again, picked up the crab meat with chopsticks, dipped it in a little vinegar, put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully, with a satisfied look on her face: "You guys try it quickly, it's really delicious, the meat is very tender, and has a hint of sweetness."

Zhao Dashu followed her example and followed her movements. Song helped Lihua clean up the crabs first, and then she dealt with her own.

"Girl, why is this meat so tender? It's even more tender than fish!"

Song took a light bite, and a constant taste lingered in her mouth...

"Big sister, the river gourd is great!"

Zhao Xiaoyu looked at her and said, "Lihua, river gourds are edible and delicious. Don't tell anyone when you go out."

Lihua was confused. Why couldn't she enjoy such a good thing?

Lihua bit her lip, "Can't I tell Sister Harumiao?"

"No, you said that our family won't be able to afford clothes, candy and cakes in the future."

"I won't tell anyone. Anyway, I have other snacks that I can share with them."

Zhao Xiaoyu liked people who listened to advice, and touched Lihua's tender little face curiously. Then she continued to eat crabs. In her hand was a black crab with golden crab roe. After taking a bite of the crab roe, a rich and mellow fragrance instantly burst out from the crab cavity.

How come it’s so delicious!

After swallowing, a faint sweetness remains in the mouth.

"Girl, why is my yellow one white?" It still feels a little sticky.

"Yours is just a gourd from the Xi River, mine is a gourd from the Xi River, the paste here is also delicious, you can try it."

The whole family finished all the crabs in a short time.

"The river gourd leg looks small, but it's full of meat. I feel that the meat eaten by these fish is not as delicious as this river gourd. I will go get another basket later and we will have a meal in the evening." Zhao Dashu felt that he could finish even a whole basket.

"Dad, river gourds are cold in nature, so you can't eat too many. Three or four a day is the most you can eat." One gourd weighs nearly half a pound, so two are actually enough.

"There are a lot of these in our village, especially next to our house, in the muddy fields."

"There are a lot of these in our village, especially in the muddy field next to our house. I'll go pick up a few and your mother and I will eat four tonight. You and Lihua are small, so you can each have one."

She knew that piece of land. It used to be a river, but then it dried up for some reason and became muddy instead of water. ”
