There are deep weeds on both sides of the river. If you remove the weeds, you can see small crabs, and occasionally larger crabs.
There are also crabs hidden under the big rocks by the river.
This reminded Ye Mo of his childhood.
When I was a child, there were many rice fields in Dongmen Town. At that time, the small rivers were flowing with water, and there were many small fish, shrimps, and crabs.
Not only in Dongmen Town, there are also many crabs, fish and shrimps in the small river ditch at the foot of the mountain near Grandma Ye Mo.
But now, many rivers and streams that have water all year round have dried up at some point, and it is difficult to see native crabs anymore.
…
After a while, Ye Mo and the others caught a lot of crabs.
I washed my hands and feet in the river and went ashore.
"Dad, would you like to go out and take photos of eels at night?" Lin Xiaomian said.
Lin Shan raised his head and looked at the horizon: "After dinner, if it doesn't rain, we'll go out for a walk."
The sky is burning with clouds, and there are clouds in the shape of fish scales...
Such clouds indicate that it will probably rain at night.
Return home.
Xiaomian's mother had prepared dinner and was waiting for them: "Hurry up and wash your hands, it's time to eat."
"Xiaomian wants to eat snails, I'll make another one." Xiaomian's father said.
Pour the snails into a basin, pour some water just enough to cover the snails, and add some sesame oil inside to speed up the snails spitting out sand.
The water in the small river is clear and full of pebbles. The snails in it are very clean and there is no sand.
Process the caught crabs first.
Wash the crabs with a brush, remove the back shell and gills...retain some crab roe and crab paste.
First fry it until crispy.
Then prepare the ingredients, including home-made salted vegetables, sour chili, and spicy millet from the vegetable garden...onions, ginger, garlic, etc.
Xiaomian went to cook a pot.
Ye Mo was watching from the side...
Heat oil, add ginger, garlic, bean paste, then add salted vegetables, sour chili and millet, and some chili noodles, stir-fry until fragrant, add crabs and continue to stir-fry, then pour in a bottle of beer... add chicken essence
, light soy sauce, cover the pot and simmer slowly over low heat.
When the water simmers dry, take it out of the pot.
Lin Xiaomian brought a piece of crab to Ye Mo: "Try it."
The deep-fried crabs are crunchy and very fragrant when you bite into them. It is very good to go with wine, but it is not necessarily how delicious it is.
"It's delicious." Ye Mo said with a smile.
"Let me tell you, the crabs in the river are delicious."
The taste is very fragrant, with a hint of river freshness, but... there is really no meat.
If it was really delicious, all the crabs in the river would have been caught long ago.
All I can say is it's pretty good.
Xiaomian's mother and father were cutting the buttocks of the snails, cleaning them and taking them to the kitchen. They were cooking them in the same way as crabs...added some more dried chili peppers, and some perilla when they were cooked.
After setting the table, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
Lightning appeared in the sky, but no thunder could be heard yet.
Xiaomian's father took out a few bottles of ice-cold beer and said to Ye Mo: "Treat it as your own home, you're welcome."
"Hey." Ye Mo nodded and poured the beer into the bowl.
The dinner is particularly rich, including bacon, sausages, and a portion of twice-cooked pork. Plus crabs and snails, a standard dinner configuration...
Compared with crabs, snails are more delicious and are not very enjoyable to drink with wine.
After eating and drinking, it started to rain.
Ye Mo took a shower and went back to the room...
It rains heavily.
Ye Mo practiced for a while, then entered the space with a thought and poured the Qi in his body into the Lingquan Well.
The spiritual spring in Lingquan Well recovers very slowly. The main reason is that there is very little Qi in Ye Mo's body. Every time he injects the Qi in his body into Lingquan Well, only the water in the well can only recover less than half a centimeter.
However, the spiritual spring can be restored, no matter how much it is, it will be good.
Coming out of the space, the thunder outside was louder and the rain was also heavier.
Next door is Lin Xiaomian's room.
Lin Xiaomian was afraid of thunder. Her mother was there with her, and the mother and daughter were whispering.
"It's good to work in the waterworks. It's an iron rice bowl, high salary, and five insurances and one housing fund. If you don't go, your second brother will recommend Wang Rong for an interview." Xiaomian's mother said.
"Let me think about this matter again. I also want to ask Ye Mo what he means... He has a lot of things going on there. If I go out to work again, I don't know how long it will take to see him again."
"You~." Xiaomian's mother said angrily, "You guys are in love, so..."
"Mom, what do you think of Ye Mo?"
"It looks good. But I don't have much contact with him. If you ask me, you might as well ask yourself. What do you think of him?"
Lin Xiaomian was silent for a while, and then said after a while: "It's not like the water plant won't be able to recruit people in the future. If Ye Mo treats me badly in the future, I will go to work at the water plant again."
"Whatever you want." Xiaomian's mother said, "Go to bed early."
"By the way, Ye Mo asked me to go play with him." Lin Xiaomian whispered.
"Girl, don't be too proactive and be reserved. Ye Mo has to tell us about this... Wang Rong has played tricks on several boyfriends. Is this really your first time in love?"
"How dare you."
"It's all your dad's fault."
Ye Mo eavesdropped...
Mother and daughter spoke very quietly, and it was only because Ye Mo had good hearing that he could hear their conversation.
Is it true that Lin Xiaomian fell in love for the first time?
She is so beautiful...
impossible.
Ye Mo eavesdropped again, but the mother and daughter did not talk.
The next day, it was sunny.
It rained heavily last night. Early this morning, Xiaomian's father went to the rice fields to water the fields.
Ye Mo stretched out and got up, washed his face and brushed his teeth.
"Uncle." Ye Mo walked over and shouted.
"Hey." Xiaomian's father responded and took the cigarette from Ye Mo.
Xiaomian's mother also woke up very early and had already made breakfast.
After dinner, Xiaomian's parents had to go to work.
"Water is being released in the fields. You keep watch. When the water is almost released, plug the gap." Xiaomian's father said to Lin Xiaomian.
"Yeah." Lin Xiaomian nodded.
After his uncle and aunt left, Lin Xiaomian went to look at the rice fields and came back and said, "I want to work in the water plant. What do you think?"
"Not so good." Ye Mo said: "You go to work at the water plant. It's so far away. How often do we have to see each other? Besides, I have a lot of things to do there. As the boss of Gaoshanping in the future, you can't do your part.
."
Lin Xiaomian glanced at Ye Mo, her beautiful eyes were very seductive.
Ye Mo smiled, took Lin Xiaomian's hand, and said: "There are many things in Gaoshanping. I don't have much money. If you can do the rest of the work yourself, you have to do it yourself. Although it is a little harder, it only takes a few years.
"
Lin Xiaomian looked embarrassed: "Who wants to be the boss lady of Gaoshanping?"
Lin Xiaomian's shy look made Ye Mo feel itchy and restless. She had a standard oval face, a small face, and a bit of flesh...
Ye Mo used to joke with Tang Xun that he wanted to introduce him to his girlfriend, so he introduced her to the little fairy...
At first glance, Lin Xiaomian is not just a little fairy, especially her eyes, which are clear, pure and touching.
"I heard you chatting with auntie last night." Ye Mo said.
"Last night?" Lin Xiaomian was stunned for a moment, and took her palm out of Ye Mo's hand, with a shy face: "There was no chat, you heard wrong."
"This is your first time falling in love...really?" Ye Mo said with a smile.
Lin Xiaomian was a little embarrassed: "Yes, so what? You have had many girlfriends? It's amazing..."
Ye Mo reached out and took Lin Xiaomian into his arms: "I regret not meeting you earlier."
"If you had met me earlier, you would have been beaten by my father."
"Well?"
"When I was in high school..."
When Lin Xiaomian was in high school, there was a scoundrel in his class who told people everywhere that Lin Xiaomian was his girlfriend. Lin Xiaomian didn't agree at all, but the matter reached the ears of the teacher, who informed his parents...
Lin Xiaomian went to the best key high school in their area, and the management was very strict. Lin Shan was called to the school by his teacher, and after seeing the other parent in the school, they had an argument and got into a fight.
After returning, Lin Xiaomian was also beaten and forced to kneel under the eaves all night.
"I think your dad has a good temper, and he beats people." Ye Mo hugged Lin Xiaomian, feeling secretly happy in his heart.
Lin Xiaomian pouted. Thinking about it now, she still feels aggrieved. Dad, he is indiscriminate...
Ever since she was little, Lin Shan had beaten her once, the only time.
