Farmer's pretty businesswoman

Chapter 45 Cooking Shrimp and Crab Porridge
"Let's remember, miss, you leave it alone and let us do the brushing, you go and do your business." Qiu Ju looked up at the morning star in the sky, and hurriedly urged Shangguan Chuchu.After brushing and marinating so many crabs, it is estimated that the sky will be bright.They have to move faster and buy more rest time for the young lady.

Putting the cleaned crabs into the clear water, Shangguan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go in and prepare the marinade." After finishing speaking, she turned and walked into the kitchen with the lights on.

She is going to marinate two kinds of crabs today, one is the five-flavored crab that was marinated before, and the other is drunk crab.During the day, she brought back several jars of high-quality Huadiao wine from the 'Fugui Building', and was going to add a dish of drunk crab to the new dish three days later.

Today's crabs are relatively large. In order to marinate the crabs within two days, she must cut the crabs into sections, otherwise she will not be able to catch up with the new dishes.

He quickly adjusted two jars of five-flavored marinade, and prepared two large empty jars for crabs. The main marinade for this drunken crab is wine, so after she puts the cleaned crabs into the jars , then pour wine and other ingredients, and seal the altar.

"Sister, these are washed crabs." She was about to go out to bring in the washed crabs and cut them up when Hao Qiancheng walked into the kitchen with a bowl of clean crabs.He looked at the four jars on the ground and the jars of wine on the stove, and asked, "Sister, why do you need so much wine to pickle crabs this time?"

"Hehe! I'm going to marinate two jars of drunken crabs." As he said that, Shangguan Chuchu reached out to take the wooden basin containing the crabs, and said, "Come on, give it to me. You go out and help Xia He and the others, I'll just come here .”

"Let me help you."

"No need, there are still a lot of crabs that haven't been washed outside, you help Xia He and the others." Shangguan Chuchu shook his head, and then started to pick up the crabs.

"Alright then." Seeing Shangguan Chuchu's quick movements, Hao Qiancheng nodded, turned around and walked into the yard.

oh oh oh...

It wasn't until the roosters in the village crowed and the belly turned pale between the sea and the sky that Shangguan Chuchu and the others prepared all the four large altars of pickled crabs.Stretching, Shangguan Chuchu stretched out his hand and gently patted the side of his waist. Looking at the crabs left in the wooden basin, he curled his lips and asked in a good mood: "Everyone, do you want to drink shrimp and crab porridge?"

"Think!" Hao Qiancheng, Xia He, and Qiu Ju looked at each other and smiled tacitly, and responded in unison.

Nodding slightly, the corner of Shangguan Chuchu's mouth lightly lifted, she didn't look sluggish after a night of sleeplessness, she was still in good spirits, she raised her eyes and looked at Hao Qiancheng beside her, and said softly: "Qiancheng, please work hard, please help me." Let's catch some prawns. Besides, after you catch the prawns, I will trouble you to invite the village head to our house for breakfast. I have something to discuss with the village head."

"Sister, do you want to discuss cooperation with the village chief?" Hao Qiancheng looked at Shangguan Chuchu and asked happily.

Although he doesn't know much about business matters, he understands very well that if "Fuguilou" really wants to cooperate with the fishermen of "Wanghaiwan", it will not only make everyone rich together, but also save everyone from having to work together. Go fishing, there will be no more pirates or storms.

Growing up, he saw too many neighbors being swallowed by the sea, and heard of many people being killed by vicious pirates.

In short, every time I go to sea, there will be scenes of sad parting on the beach, because it is very likely that it will be the last meeting between their families.However, despite this, fishermen still have to take risks to go to sea in order to make a living.

"That's right!"

"Hey, then I'll catch shrimps now, and I promise I'll come back soon." After getting the exact answer, Hao Qiancheng happily took out a small bamboo basket and fine net from the wall, with a smile on his lips, and strode out.

Xia He looked at Hao Qiancheng's excited look, looked at Shangguan Chuchu suspiciously, and asked, "Miss, why is he so happy? Isn't it just a cooperation?"

She can casually call Hao Ye's old lady, and she can happily call Shangguan Chuchu a young lady, but she just doesn't want to call Hao Qiancheng or something like a young master.Because, in her heart, there is only one young master, and that is Lin Qingfeng who picked her up.

Pulling his lips and smiling slightly, Shangguan looked straight at Xia He, reached out and patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Because he saw a picture without parting."

"Is there no picture of parting?" At this moment, not only Xia He became curious, but even Qiu Ju, who was always calm, couldn't help but look at Shangguan Chuchu, waiting quietly for her answer.

"Well, there is no picture of parting." His eyes flickered, and when it came to parting, for some reason Shangguan Chuchu's heart tingled slightly.She shook her head lightly, trying to get the strange feeling out of her body, she picked up her emotions, and her voice became a little heavy, "Because, after the fishermen of 'Wanghai Bay' cooperate with 'Fuguilou', they don't have to go to sea again Fishing, there will be no more life and death. You may have heard that every time you go to sea, you will go to the gate of hell. They may encounter storms or pirates."

Perhaps it was because the three of them had similar backgrounds, and when they talked about the topic of life and death, everyone's expressions became heavy, and they stopped talking.

The kitchen fell into silence for a moment.

After the half payment, Shangguan Chuchu recovered from the strange emotion, looked at Xia He and Qiu Ju who had the same serious faces, lowered her voice, and asked tentatively: "Xia He, Qiu Ju, what do you guys think?" Why are you at the Lin family?"

"Me?" Xia He pointed back at herself, the past rushed into her heart like a tide, her eyes flushed instantly, she cleared her throat, and said: "I am an orphan. When I was seven years old, my parents died, I was alone The people who converted had to beg for food and wander around. Later, I wandered to the imperial capital, but the people there were very fierce. They either drove us beggars away or beat them. Once, I was begging at the door of the "Fugui Building" and was arrested. People pushed me to the ground, and I passed out because of excessive hunger. When I woke up, I was already in the carriage."

"Your young master saved you?" Although he already had the answer in his heart, Shangguan Chuchu still wanted to hear Xia He's affirmation with his own ears.

"Yes, that's right, it's the young master. From then on, the young master not only feeds me, but also allows me to read and learn martial arts." Xia He felt that there was no need to hide everything from Shangguan Chuchu. It was obvious at a glance that even if they wanted to hide it, they might not be able to hide it.

Instead, it's better to let her know the real character of the young master.

"Qiu Ju too?" Shangguan Chuchu nodded, looking at Qiu Ju who also had moist eyes, he already understood.Unexpectedly, that ice cube man was really like what Liu Zhengyang said... cold on the outside and hot on the inside, it seems that I don't know him well enough.
