Early in the morning, after Zhang Ze washed up, he went to the kitchen and started boiling water.

Just because he doesn't usually come to the kitchen doesn't mean he doesn't know how to do it. It's just that there are many women in the house and it's just not his turn to do these things.

After freezing a few blue crabs caught last night with well water and cleaning them, they brought them into the kitchen. Zhang Huihong walked out of the room, her hair a little messy and yawning.

When I saw Zhang Ze working in the kitchen, I was stunned.

"Aze, are you making breakfast?"

Zhang Ze used a spoon to pour some of the boiled water into the large soup bowl next to it and let it dry, and then put the blue crabs into the pot one by one to cook.

"I made an appointment with someone to go fishing today and deliver the fish to the radio factory in the afternoon. I'm afraid I'll be hungry at noon, so I plan to make some food and take it with me."

"By the way, Mom, I remember there is a lunch box at home, please look for it, I can use it."

"Okay, I'll give it to you to wash up!" Upon hearing that her son wanted to take away some lunch, Zhang Huihong quickly went to find a lunch box.

This lunch box was still used by her husband when he was alive, but it has not been used much in recent years, so it has been kept by her.

She took out an aluminum lunch box and went outside to wash it. It soon returned to its original silvery white color.

Zhang Ze waited for the blue crabs to be cooked, then took them out one by one and put them in a small basket for drying.

"Mom, you cook a pot of rice and cook more. Today I will make crab meat bibimbap."

What is crab bibimbap?

Zhang Huihong didn't know why, but she still listened to him and cooked the rice.

Zhang Ze sat in front of the table and used chopsticks and scissors to help open the blue crabs and put all the crab meat and crab roe on the plate.

However, he will put the crab paste of the red crab in a separate small bowl. The red paste of the blue crab is very hard after being cooked, and it comes out in big chunks. It tastes delicious but is also easy to get tired of.

He will use a spoon to crush it later so that the bibimbap will be delicious.

Picking out crab meat is a delicate job, but fortunately, Zhang Qian and Zhang Qing walked out of the room after a while and saw him busy. Although they didn't understand why they had to get the crab meat out, they came over to help.

With two people joining in, all the blue crabs and crab meat were quickly picked out, and there was a big plate full.

Zhang Ze crushed the red paste with a spoon, then came to the kitchen with crab meat and crab roe.

When the rice was cooked, he asked his mother to turn off the heat, and then mixed the rice with crab meat and crab roe with lard and soy sauce.

There is no fine salt now, so he specially crushed the coarse salt and put some in for seasoning.

In fact, it would be more fragrant when fried, but he was a little pressed for time, so he simply made bibimbap, which was equally delicious.

As soon as it was done, Zhang Wu smelled it.

"Mom, are you making oil residue again at home? It smells so good!"

The lard is stimulated by the hot rice to create its own fragrance. This smell is really appetizing.

Zhang Huihong and the others had no time to pay attention to him, and they all eagerly filled a bowl of rice and started eating.

The sweetness of crab meat and the mellow aroma of crab roe are accompanied by the shiny black and red rice. The taste is so authentic.

The three women in the family suddenly turned into breadwinners, and the food was delicious.

Zhang Wu was so anxious: "Mom, I want it too, hurry up and get me a bowl."

"Hurry up and brush your teeth and wash your face, or I won't feed you!" Zhang Huihong glared and chased him out like a fly.

Fortunately, Zhang Wu found that there was still more than half a pot of rice, so he was not so anxious.

Zhang Ze first ate a bowl, then filled his lunch box, and then poured the colder boiling water from the soup bowl into a bamboo tube and carried the bamboo basket to the town to take the bus.

Recently, he wakes up early every day and meets no acquaintances in the village, which makes him feel at ease.

He won't let other people in the village know about selling seafood, even close friends. It won't matter until the market opens next year.

While walking on the road, he found that no one was nearby, so he put the lunch box into a small space. It was okay to leave the lunch box outside. He was just looking to see if space and time stopped.

If the lunch box is still the same temperature as in the morning when he takes it out, he can prepare food for himself in advance and does not have to rush when he gets up in the morning.

The bamboo tube is a bit long and cannot be stored in it.

But it doesn’t matter, the lunch box can be used for experiments.

After arriving at the county seat by car, Zhang Ze carried a bamboo basket and walked to He Weiping's home first.

When we arrived at his house, the door was already open and he was sitting at the door fanning himself.

"Uncle, you got up so early!"

"I'm too old to sleep!"

While the two were greeting each other, Zhang Ze also saw his wife, a middle-aged and elderly aunt.

The aunt was not very enthusiastic. After a brief acquaintance, she returned to the kitchen by herself, obviously to prepare breakfast.

Zhang Ze didn't have time to chat at this moment, so he walked into the room and took out a green lobster of just over half a kilogram and a mandarin fish of three and a half kilograms from the bamboo basket.

He Weiping was a little surprised when he saw the energetic fish and lobster, but he didn't ask any questions. He stood up and took out the fishing rod and handed it to him before accepting the fish and lobster.

Zhang Ze happily held the bamboo pole, or festival pole, in his hand.

The knotted pole is normally composed of four small bamboo pole sections, one inside the other from thin to thick.

If you are not ready to use it, insert the first section (thin tip) upside down into the third section of the pole, and the second section upside down into the fourth thickest section.

It's normal for He Weiping to make joint poles. Even though he lives in a new house, the first floor of the house is only about 40 square meters, with two floors.

In this era, the average bamboo pole is about four meters long, which is actually quite awkward to place at home.

The knotted pole is generally a fishing tool that rich people can use, but it is another story if you can make it yourself.

It’s true that not many people go out of their way to buy fishing rods these days, they basically make them themselves.

After getting the fishing rod, I exchanged a few polite words with He Weiping and Zhang Ze said goodbye and left.

When we arrived at the pier, Tong Yuanhang was already waiting here.

He was obviously a little surprised when he saw the fishing rod in Zhang Ze's hand: "Did you make this rod yourself?"

Zhang Ze shook his head and said with a smile: "How can I not do this? I traded a big mandarin fish for an uncle. He happened to have a few fishing rods at home, and my grandson wanted to eat mandarin fish, so he traded it with me."

Tong Yuanhang nodded clearly. He was not a fisherman, he just followed fishing to make money, so he had no idea about this jointed rod.

If he really wants a fishing rod, he can just go to the mountain and cut some bamboo to make it. He is not willing to exchange it for anything.

"Get on the boat, let's go!"

"Is it still the same reef today?" Zhang Ze asked after getting on the boat and putting his things down.

"I've been on the sea several times in the past few days and found a new location, which is closer to the county town. Let's go fishing there."

Last time it took nearly an hour to get from the fishing spot to the county dock, and this was the result of two people taking turns rowing.

So yesterday, he deliberately went to a few places that he had occasionally passed by before that seemed good to him, and selected one of them.

If the fish conditions are similar, then the time they save can be used to continue fishing, and maybe they can earn more.
