The wife of a peasant girl is a little sweet

Chapter 9 Eight Legs Are Delicious
"Wanwan, why are you grabbing so many legs?" Qin asked, rubbing her chest.

"Mom, this is a good thing. It can be eaten and exchanged for money." Su Wan was busy taking out all the river crabs, and at the same time pulled straw from the side to tie them up.

"Wanwan, are you hungry? How can you eat these eight legs? Anyone who sees them will hide away, so how can they make money?" Seeing Su Wan busy there, Qin felt distressed and worried. It is self-blame.

"Mother, you trust me, just wait for me to make a lot of money and come back." Su Wan raised her head and smiled at Qin Shi, and quickly put the tied river crabs back into the back basket, and put the remaining ones directly at the door of the woodshed. In a pot with a broken edge, some water was added.

"Sister, I'll help you light the fire." Su Zhe had already brought the flint over and squatted in front of the stove to light the fire.

"Sister, I'm going to wash these wild vegetables and make some soup." Su Qian was not idle, and took the wild vegetables and went out to wash them.

Seeing the three children busy with their own work, Qin felt both comforted and heartbroken.

"Wanwan, mother knows you are hungry, but these eight legs really can't be eaten, they will kill you." Qin couldn't bear to spoil Su Qian and Su Zhe's interest, so she just pulled Su Wan aside and said in a low voice.

"Mother, do you believe me?" Su Wan was not in a hurry, she just looked up at Qin Shi quietly.

"Of course mother believes in you, but these eight legs really..."

"Mother Wanwan, come and help me." Su Laifu who was lying on the straw suddenly said.

"Hey, here we come." Hearing this, Mrs. Qin hurriedly turned around to help her up: "Father, do you want to relieve yourself?"

Su Laifu waved his hand, and whispered in Qin's ear: "Just trust Wanwan, don't you feel that this child is very different from before after waking up?"

"If you say that, it's true. I also found out, but these eight legs are really inedible." Qin turned her head and glanced at the three siblings who were busy in front of the stove, and sighed heavily.

"They say it's poisonous and can't be eaten, but no one has actually eaten it. It's just that they don't dare to eat it because of its ugly appearance. Anyway, we don't have anything to eat now. Wanwan is not that reckless child, she said. If we can eat, let's eat, it's better than starving to death." Su Laifu continued in a low voice.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, whether it's life or death, at least we're together as a family." Qin gritted her teeth and nodded. After all, she was a woman, and after so many years of suffering, her mentality was still relatively pessimistic.

"Don't say such depressing words, trust our girl." Su Laifu patted Qin Shi's hand, he also had his own plan in his heart, he knew what his body was like in his heart, he might die when he was gone, if he was gone, The only person this family can rely on is Su Wan, so they must trust her unconditionally.

"Okay." Qin nodded with a smile.

Su Wan and Su Zhe were squatting by the stove to light the fire. Although they couldn't hear what their parents were saying, she probably guessed that she was not in a hurry. She talked about the hype, so it's better to show the results. Regarding this point, she has something to say. complete confidence.

Soon the water in the pot boiled, and the river crabs turned from blue to red. Su Wan secretly counted the time, and after about a quarter of an hour, she stopped the fire, fished the river crabs into a bowl, and brought them to Qin and his wife. In front of Su Laifu.

"Father, mother, you can eat."

"This..." Qin Shi looked at the crab that had turned red, and felt even more uncertain. No matter how you looked at it, it looked like it was poisonous.

"Wanwan, this shell is so hard, how should I eat it?" Su Laifu glanced at Qin Shi, reached out to pick one up and asked with a smile.

"It's simple, follow me, Daddy." Su Wan picked up a river crab and gently cracked it with her hands, then opened the crab shell, revealing the crab roe that was full inside.

Su Laifu also followed Su Wan's example, broke open one, put it under his nose and smelled it, and said with a smile: "Mmm, it smells so good."

"Father, the yellow one is the best. You can also eat the meat in the legs. Only this one is not edible, and this one..." Su Wan took the river crab and carefully told Su Laifu what to eat and what not to eat. He smiled and said, "Dad, try it."

"Okay." Su Laifu tried to take a bite of the crab roe, chewed it slowly, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Well, it tastes really good, mother Wanwan, you should try it."

"It's really delicious?" Qin picked up a river crab suspiciously, followed their example, opened the shell and took a bite.

"Mother, how are you?" Su Wan asked with a smile.

"Well, it's delicious," Qin nodded hurriedly, and then asked curiously, "Wanwan, how did you know this eight-legged food can be eaten?"

"This..." When Su Wan was in a dilemma, Su Qian came over with a bowl of soup and said, "Father, mother, eldest sister, the soup is ready, there is only one bowl left, let's take turns to drink."

"Okay, Xiao Zhe also come here quickly, the eldest sister will teach you how to eat eight legs." Su Wan skipped Qin's question perfectly, beckoned Su Zhe over, and began to teach them how to eat river crab.

Fortunately, Qin didn't continue to ask further questions. Food is better than anything else.

Su Wan kept five, one for each of them. Qin was reluctant to eat them, and wanted to leave them for Su Wan and the others. Su Wan explained to them that river crabs are cold in nature, and they should not eat more, or they will have diarrhea, unless they are accompanied by rice wine or ginger. To eat, but there is no one at home, so one is just right for each person, so Qin ate it suspiciously.

After eating the river crab, everyone drank a few more sips of hot soup, which was regarded as a solution to breakfast.

Su Wan cleaned up the crab shells and threw them into the pigsty, then came back and said to Su Laifu and Qin Shi: "Father, mother, I'm going to the town."

"Go to the town? What are you going to do?" Qin frowned when she heard this. Su Wan was a girl who had never been out of the village on weekdays. She suddenly said that she was going to the town. She was really worried.

"Of course it's to make money." Su Wan said with a smile, pointing to the river crab in the basket.

"Wanwan, are you going to sell the eight legs? But can anyone want them?" Qin was very worried.

"How will you know if you don't try, Wan Wan, go ahead and let your mother go with you." Su Laifu now fully supports Su Wan's decision, but it is not at ease to let her go alone, it would be much better to have someone to accompany her.

"No need." Su Wan shook her head and smiled, "Mother can't go, just let Qianqian go with me."

"Qianqian is still a child, what can she do to help?" Qin quickly shook her head, she was worried about going out with one girl, and even more worried about two girls.

"Mother, you really can't go, you have to stay at home and take care of the house." Su Wan winked at Mrs. Qin, took out five river crabs from the back basket, put them in a bowl, and covered them with straw .

Anyway, she caught a lot, and she didn't go to the town just to sell river crabs, she might as well keep a few of them for other purposes.

"Wanwan, who is this?" Qin looked at Su Wan with a puzzled face and asked.

"Mother." Su Wan took Qin's hand and whispered in her ear.

After hearing Su Wan's words, Qin was a little confused: "Wanwan, what does this mean?"

"Mother, just do as I say, everything will be resolved when I come back." Su Wan smiled mysteriously, pulled Su Qian out of the door.
