Sister Eighty is sweet and flirtatious

Chapter 29 Finding Food

After handling the tens of catties of crayfish, Huazhi felt that her fingers were stiff, as if she couldn't move, and her waist was sore and her legs were hurting. She stood up and moved slowly before handling the The clean crayfish are brought into the kitchen.

Because there are two elderly people in the family, they can’t eat spicy food, so Hua Zhi made a quarter of garlic crayfish for Grandpa and Grandma Xiao, and the remaining three quarters were made into spicy crayfish .

Because they have a large number of young people and eat a lot, the portion should be larger.

In the evening, everyone came over and was a little surprised to see the glowing red crayfish on the table. Hua Zhi asked directly, "Huazhi, what did you cook today? Can you eat this bad thing?"

Crayfish can make holes, causing water to leak in the fields, and this thing is so heavy that it can't be disposed of at all, so farmers really hate it.

Huazhi picked up a crayfish, peeled off the crayfish meat in front of everyone, fed it into Zhou Yulan's mouth, and said with a smile, "If you can eat it, you'll know if you try it?"

Zhou Yulan was a little embarrassed, "I can just eat it myself, why do I need you to feed me?"

"I'm just teaching everyone how to eat this crayfish, lest some people don't know how to eat it, and even eat the large pincers and shells, those who don't know how to eat it will naturally think that crayfish is not delicious." Huazhi glanced at the flower Glancing at it, he said with a smile, "Okay, I've demonstrated it just now, everyone must be able to eat it, right? Then let's eat it!"

Afterwards, everyone stretched out their hands to grab the crayfish, following Huazhi’s steps just now, peeling off the meat from the tail of the crayfish step by step, and then put it in their mouths. The aroma of the seasoning is a bit overwhelming.

At the end of the meal, Huazhi realized that the crayfish was not enough to eat at all, and it seemed that next time it would have to make [-] catties.

The best season for crayfish is from June to September, that is to say, there is not a long time, so you have to take advantage of the remaining time to eat more quickly, or you will have to wait until next summer.

Thinking of this, Hua Zhi said, "Since everyone likes to eat crayfish, after class is over tonight, everyone take flashlights, tongs, and baskets, and go to the fields and small ditches to catch them! We are strong in numbers, Just grabbing for half an hour is probably enough for us to eat."

Huafeng was very excited, "Okay, then let's catch it at night."

The rice seedlings in the field have just been planted, and they haven’t grown much yet. If there are crayfish, they can be seen at a glance, which is much easier than going to the river to catch them.

Because the water in the field is shallow, it only looks a few centimeters to ten centimeters, and there is no grass. It is the canal next to the paddy field to irrigate the farmers. Now the hot water evaporates a lot in summer, and there is not much deep water in it, so it is easier to grasp. of.

Huazhi asked, "Huazhi, let's grab some more. When it's ready, can I take some back for my parents to taste?"

Huazhi nodded, "Of course, if it wasn't inconvenient for everyone to come to Xiao Nan's house, I would have asked my uncle and aunt to come over to eat together. After all, the three of us are poor people, so we should sign up for a group to keep warm and share food with each other. Help, when the time comes, your two families will bring a pot back home and let them have a good time."

Huashuang didn't expect that Huazhi still remembered her parents, and she was a little moved, "Huazhi, I will try my best to catch crayfish."

"While you are catching crayfish, if you encounter snails, loach, and eels, don't give up. Pick them all up. Take the snails back to dry the snails yourself. Other things can be sent here for everyone to eat together. "While talking, Hua Zhi suddenly remembered, and hurriedly said, "Loach and eel can be dried and preserved, and you don't need to send them over. Take them home and dry them into dried loach and eel!"

Hua Zhi reluctantly peeled the last crayfish in her hand, and asked in confusion, "Hua Zhi, why did you let us dry so many dried snails?"

"Sister Hua, the four members of your family need at least six catties of grain a day, right? Will you need more than 2000 catties in a year? The key is, do you have that much grain in your family? And your grandparents Do you want to be filial to your family? Do you think the food distributed at the end of the year is enough for your family of four?"

It will be dry for a whole year next year, and it will be dry for several months in the first half of the next year. There will be no food production for such a long time, and there will not be enough leaves on the mountain for everyone to gather, right?
But she couldn't say this clearly, because even if she said it, no one would believe it, after all, it hasn't started yet!

When it doesn't rain for a few months, I'm thinking of a way to remind everyone so that everyone can spend that time in peace and stability, that's all.

Although their Leye production team is backed by mountains, and there are rivers in the mountains, the situation will not be too bad, but I should prepare more things myself, so that I don't have to grab the leaves from everyone, and I can leave the leaves to those who need them.

Hua Hua thought about it, and thought it was true. Their family's food for the first half of the year was at Lao Hua's house, and they didn't get any of it. What they ate now was borrowed from the village, so they didn't dare to eat more at all. After all, they had to pay back.

Now I come to Huazhi to eat a meal every night, so I can save some rations for the family and let my parents eat more.

"Don't worry, Huazhi, we will work hard to pick up the snails." Huazhi said seriously.

Huazhi said, "The sun is hot now, and it will dry after a few days of drying. Then put it in a clean pickle jar and seal it well, and turn it out occasionally to dry it in the sun. Don't get damp again, and don't grow insects. That's fine."

Although the dried ones are not as delicious as the fresh ones, it is better to have something to eat than to be hungry.

After dinner, everyone studied for two hours, and then went home, took a flashlight, tongs, and a basket, and set off to look for crayfish in the field. In the dark night, frogs were croaking in the rice fields, and the evening wind was blowing There was a trace of coolness on his face.

Hua Jin said, "As long as it's edible, it doesn't matter what kind it is."

"Do you catch snakes too?" Hua Hua said with a bitter face, "I dare not catch snakes."

"Don't dare to catch? I think you are very courageous when you eat." Hua Jin said with a smile.

Hua Hua glared at him, "Isn't that because of Hua Zhi and Xiao Nan's cooking skills? The snake meat is so delicious, besides, it's already cooked, and it can't bite people. What am I afraid of?"

Hua Jin nodded helplessly, "Okay, if you see a snake, just call me and I'll catch it."

Hua Shuang said from behind, "Don't talk about it, Hua Zhi and Xiao Nan's cooking skills have really improved a lot, and the food they cook now is much more delicious than before!"
