Wen Family Has a Wife
Chapter 41： Harvest by the sea
Chapter 41 Harvest by the Sea
After a busy night, when the sky was about to turn up the fish belly, Chen Ningya skewered most of the octopus and dried them on the fire. She cleaned the shells, leaving only the meat on the dustpan for preliminary drying. , As for the eels and eels that were caught, they were placed in a big bamboo basket, with some large leaves spread in it, and some mud and sea water, lest they die before they go back.
On the other side, Wen Youshan stared at the bamboo baskets and was worried. This time, there were too many octopuses. Even if they were dried, they could fill a bamboo basket. The shell meat was also full. The problem, these two are enough for him to toss, not to mention there is a basket of fish with mud and water, and those shrimps and crabs that don\'t seem to be easy to mess with. How can I get them back?
Wen Youshan was so tangled that he scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks. In the end, Chen Ningya made a decision and asked him to get the fish and shrimps and crabs back before coming back to pick her up. She could also pick up some things while the tide was low.
Wen Youshan has no better way, so he can only do it according to Chen Ningya\'s wishes. Fortunately, this is the seaside. Generally, there will be no beasts coming, but if there are beasts, as long as Chen Ningya rides on the mud sled and runs to the mud There would be no danger on the beach. Besides, Chen Ningya also had a slingshot and a dagger strapped to her body, which could come in handy when necessary.
Thinking of this, Wen Youshan immediately carried the big bamboo basket full of eels and eels on his back, and brought another basket full of shrimps and crabs. Fortunately, the lady was taken home before dark.
Without Wen Youshan staring at it, Chen Ningya did things more recklessly. First, she cooked some shrimps and crabs left by Wen Youshan in a clay pot, and then picked a few small octopuses and simply washed the mud. Sand, directly into the mouth.
If Wen Youshan saw this, he wouldn\'t be scared to death.
Chen Ningya sat on the beach and enjoyed the delicious food, while constantly turning over the octopus and shell meat on the fire. The seagulls by the sea seemed to be staring at her things, but unfortunately there was a fire below, so I borrowed them hundreds of courage They didn\'t dare to come, they could only hover in the air and scream.
Chen Ningya was idle and had nothing to do, so she simply picked up the slingshot, looked at the shot, and hit every shot. This was a stunt she had practiced in her previous life to survive. After a long time, she thought it was unfamiliar.
She stopped after only three hits, because the sea receded again.
At this time, the sun was already hanging in the sky, and it was time to see the sun. Wen Youshan was almost home now.
Wen Youshan, who was remembered by Chen Ningya, is coming home soon!
At this time, most of the villagers were busy collecting food at home, and even half-aged children had to help at home, so there was no one outside the deep mountains. place, and soon entered the house.
Wen Yuanhong jumped up excitedly when he saw Wen Youshan, "Dad is back!"
Before he was happy for a while, he found that there was no one behind Wen Youshan, and his face turned pale, "Where\'s your mother? Did father lose your mother again?"
Wen Yuanhong made up a big drama by himself, so anxious that his tears were about to fall.
Wen Youshan didn\'t know whether to laugh or cry, he wanted to rub his head, but found that his hands were full of mud, so he could only put down the things helplessly, and said, "What nonsense, your mother is still busy over there, there are too many things. If you can’t get it back, Dad will go first, by the way, what about your eldest brother and eldest sister?”
Wen Yuanhong immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and grinned: "It\'s good that you don\'t lose it, eldest brother went to the foot of the mountain to fetch water, and eldest sister went to wash clothes."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Yuanliang opened the door with a bucket of water. When he saw Wen Youshan, his reaction was similar to that of Wen Yuanhong. ?"
Wen Youshan waved to him, motioned him to come over, and lifted the lids on the two bamboo baskets.
The children\'s eyes widened, especially Wen Yuanliang, who was too shocked to speak, "Dad, this is a river shrimp? Why doesn\'t it look the same? And this one, is a river crab? It\'s too big."
Wen Youshan nodded slightly and explained: "Your mother said that those are crawling shrimps and grass shrimps and some are called white shrimps, in short, shrimps, as for those crabs, they are said to be blue crabs and some tiger head crabs, etc. Anyway, Dad doesn’t know either, so be optimistic about your younger brothers and sisters, don’t let them catch crabs, look at those pincers, they can pinch your fingers off.”
Wen Yuanhong was so frightened that he quickly retracted his outstretched hand.
Wen Youshan then smiled and said: "Your mother said that this crab is delicious, but I don\'t know exactly how it is delicious. I will take a bucket to separate these things, don\'t touch them, I will pick up your mother later. Come back and let\'s study how to eat it."
The two children nodded in unison.
After Wen Youshan finished his work, he hurried to the beach again. When he got to the beach, he found Chen Ningya riding a mud sled on the mud flat and paddling non-stop. The speed was not very fast, and he only went down the mountain. Kung fu, Chen Ningya had already rowed from the north to the south, and the bamboo baskets that he had vacated by the sea were filled with things at this time. Seeing that he had two big heads, he hurriedly shouted: "Miss, don\'t If you catch it, you won\'t be able to get it back if you catch it again."
Chen Ningya waved at him, and returned in three or two strokes. "Why did you come so quickly? I haven\'t finished it yet."
The corner of Wen Youshan\'s mouth twitched, looking at the endless tidal flat, he said with a headache: "Ma\'am, how can we catch this thing, let\'s tidy it up quickly, and go back during the day, but don\'t have to walk at night after getting it. "
Chen Ningya sighed regretfully, but she didn\'t insist any longer. With Wen Youshan\'s help, the two of them got four bamboo baskets to go back. It was getting dark when we got home.
Wen Youshan hurriedly poured the seawater and soil he brought back into several buckets, fearing that the eels and eels would die. When he was done, he came out to take a look. Chen Ningya was processing those shells in the yard, and the kitchen was growing. On fire, Wen Yuanzhen watched the fire inside, presumably it was cooking shrimp and crab.
The whole yard was filled with a strong smell of sea fish. Wen Yuanliang, who was looking forward to it, couldn\'t help frowning, "Mother, do you think these things are delicious?"
Such a strong sea odor, it smells stinky, how do you eat it?
Chen Ningya smiled and said, "You\'ll know in a while."
When we were eating, the big pot in the center of the table was clearly the seafood mixed soup that Chen Ningya made in the mountains yesterday. The difference was that this time the soup had more onion, ginger, and garlic to remove the fishy smell, and added some salt to taste. The taste is much better.
Wen Yuanliang, who was still questioning before, ate it better than anyone else. After eating a bowl of seafood mixed soup, and eating two big crabs, his stomach was almost full. He couldn\'t even eat the seabird meat from Chen Ningya. How to get down, fortunately, the seabirds have no meat, and a few children slowly gnawed the meat as snacks, and finally ate the meat clean.
