My 1995 Small Farm Chapter 588

 Chen Ling returned to the county seat.

He heats up the roasted chicken first, and then helps everyone clean the crabs.

 Big crabs are delicious, but they are very troublesome to clean up.

 Rinse it in clean water first, and then use a brush to clean the back cover, abdomen, pliers, and crab legs one by one.

This process is no different from brushing leather shoes, no corners or corners should be left behind.

And you have to be careful, the wild crabs in the river are so ferocious, you will be caught if you are not careful.

But Chen Ling was very honest when he brought these big fat crabs.

 So the whole family can grab it and wash it on their hands.

Even Ruirui dared to hold it in his hand and play with it.

There is no reason to be surprised.

 That's why Chen Ling got some ice water from the small water tower.

 As soon as the ice water freezes, these crabs become more honest.

 Wash it carefully several times, then replace it with warm water, turn the crab over its belly, and put it into the water to continue cleaning. The main thing is to clean the dirt inside the abdominal cover of the crab.

Of course, the warm water cannot be too hot.

 If it is too hot, the crab legs will fall off.

 Wash them several times in succession, pick out the particularly fat crabs and steam them in a pot.

 This steamed crab cannot be steamed blindly.

It's not just a matter of throwing it into the steamer, just add water to the pot and boil it over high heat.

 You have to make a soup base first.

 Steamed river crabs, rice wine is essential.

 It can be said that the better the rice wine is, the better the steamed crabs will be.

 Cut a few slices of ginger.

 Add some small herbs or something to remove the fishy smell and improve the fragrance.

 At this time, you can add some Angelica sinensis.

 Chen Ling usually likes to use this when making pigeon soup.

 Steamed crabs can also be used.

 And adding fragrance is not just adding a little or two of fragrance.

 It has completely different taste than leaving it alone.

 The soup base is ready.

 You have to be careful when putting the big fat crabs in the steamer.

 At this time, all the crabs must be turned over, with the belly facing up and the back shell facing down.

 Otherwise, after the pot is opened, the crab roe will easily flow out and flow to the bottom of the pot along the pores of the steamer.

Not only will you not be able to eat good crabs, but the taste of the soup base will also change.

Of course, if the fresh crabs are not dead, some need to be tied with straw stalks or something to prevent them from crawling around in the steamer.

 Chen Ling doesn't have to worry about doing this.

 The ice water has been frozen once.

 After brushing, wash and soak in warm water.

Now it's still being steamed in the pot, but the crabs are already getting braided before they can calm down.

 This is the weakness of aquatic crustaceans.

 After freezing, if the temperature rises sharply, it will die.

 A pot of fat crabs steamed in a large pot.

 If the smaller crabs are left, chop them into pieces, fry them and braise them.

 Fry and coat with egg flour.

It's not just crabs that are braised. You can also get some pork, tofu, meatballs, etc. and stew them in a pot.

 One whole, one crab and three to eat.

Anyway, the crabs in this season, even if they don't look fat or big on the outside, still have a lot of crab roe.

 But say it quickly.

It must be fried faster.

　In the words of an old gourmet, whether it is flying in the sky, running on the ground, or swimming in the water, the less meat, the more delicious it is.

The crab doesn't look like there's much meat.

 Covered in flour and eggs, fried in oil, golden and crispy, filling the yard with fragrance.

 It tastes even more fragrant and crispy, and the more you eat it, the more fragrant it becomes, making you addicted to it.

But you can't eat too much crab.

Even though the cuckoo is here, it's just one more person, not much more to eat.

 Chen Ling kept half of the fried crabs and asked Wang Zhenzhen to deliver the rest to Qin Qiumei and Zhong Xiaoyun's family.

There are a lot of crabs today.

 The ones Chen Ling caught were estimated to weigh almost twenty kilograms.

 Their family cannot eat so much.

 While guarding the stove in the kitchen, when the chicken was hot, Chen Ling took advantage of the opportunity to bake a few more flatbreads.

 Soak it in crab soup later, it will be very fragrant.

 “Dad, give it.”

Seeing that he was busy, Ruirui ran in with a big piece of fried crab and gave it to him to eat.

 “Hey, okay, Ruirui is so good.”

Chen Ling took it and ate it, then walked aside to add more firewood.

The brat was praised and he happily shook his head and jumped up and down with the crab.

I also followed him in the kitchen, following him wherever he went, holding crabs in his little hands and chewing them carefully, smacking the taste.

Rui Rui has loved eating small fish and shrimps ever since she was able to eat, and she can't get enough of them.

 Especially like to eat fish.

 When I eat fish, I have never been stung by a fish bone, which makes Chen Ling, a father, feel ashamed.

 He eats less crabs.

But as soon as I ate it in my mouth today, I obviously liked it very much.

exactly.

I gnawed until my mouth was full of oil and I still couldn't finish eating. I just finished the fried golden flour outside and two crab legs. I wanted to feed Heiwa Xiaojin the rest.

 “Hey, I haven't eaten it completely, there's still yellow in it.”

Chen Ling stopped him, squatted down, took the piece in his hand, and told him how to eat it.

Looking at the two big dogs, they are so greedy.

Just pick out two large pieces of fried crab and throw them to them and let them eat them.

 Wood stoves are very fast.

Steamed crabs and braised crabs in pot will be ready in a short while.

 Mix up the dipping sauce for the steamed crabs and serve them all together.

It just so happened that Wang Zhenzhen also brought crabs back, and the whole family gathered around the table to eat happily.

“If you eat roast chicken as a vegetarian, just eat it with flatbread. You can't eat crabs now.”

“Ah, I know I can't eat it, but it smells so good.”

"Well, you can soak it in pancakes and eat some of the meat and tofu **** inside."

　　…“Come on, let me do it, you clumsy one.”

 Chen Ling saw that his daughter-in-law was struggling, so he snatched the bowls and chopsticks from her hand and gave her some vegetables and cakes.

“Look at what you said, Fugui, Susu is clumsy just to give birth to more babies for your old Chen family.”

Dujuan glanced at him.

“That's right, I said before that I would have eight or nine babies. Take good care of me from now on, otherwise I won't give you so many babies.”

Wang Susu pursed her lips and snorted, then immersed herself in eating meat.

 The young couple were naturally joking.

 Gao Xiulan took it seriously.

He just smiled and said, "It's better to have more babies. It's better to have more babies. If you have more babies, you'll always have something to offer."

 The old lady also has four children.

 In her opinion, a few more people would be enough to take care of them.

 It's not difficult.

“Mom, what you said is that, how can having a baby be like buying a lottery ticket?”

 “Lottery? What is lottery?”

 The family chatted while eating.

It's just that Ruirui is not too honest yet. He eats in the yard on a small bench and drives back and forth.

But he ate quite a lot.

 The crabs were eaten, the chickens were eaten, the beef was eaten, and the flatbreads were eaten.

  Anyway, have some of everything.

　　I was eating like this and taking a break at noon.

Unexpectedly, half way through the meal, Han Chuang and his family of three came.

His child is now almost four months old. Recently, he has been vomiting after drinking milk and crying at night, so he came to the hospital for a check-up.

 After arriving here, I remembered Chen Ling's family and knew that Wang Susu might know what was going on with the child, so I came to ask. By the way, Han Chuang also asked Chen Ling to talk about something.

They are here as a couple.

It turned out that there were a lot of crabs left, but most of them were killed in one go.

 One lunch takes more than two hours.

Jiang Xiaoqing asked Wang Susu to show their baby what was going on.

 This is also a small problem.

 In Wang Susu's opinion, there is no need to go to the hospital at all.

Han Chuang pulled Chen Ling to talk about the recent canned fish business.

Once summer is over, canned cold dishes are somewhat out of season.

 Sales have been reduced by half.

 Fortunately, their canned fish has a unique taste and rich variety, so it has not declined and has stabilized at a sales volume that is neither high nor low.

He originally wanted to wait until the next time he divided money to ask Chen Ling what to do next.

I just happened to come over today, so we discussed this matter.

Chen Ling asked him if he dared to gamble, and Han Chuang said yes.

 Chen Ling has made so much money with his family, and the cannery has come back to life. Can he not believe it?

 Chen Ling talked about the return of Hong Kong again.

 Prepare to make a fuss about cans and bottles.

 In fact, sometimes, the difference between good and bad business depends on small details.

 The bottle cap design is better.

 Add a handle or something to the can.

You can buy cans and get a water glass for free at the same time.

This year, I will create another word to celebrate the return of Hong Kong, and I can also collect it as a commemoration.

Chen Ling has mentioned this idea before.

 But this is not at the critical moment of the end of the year, so the money cannot be seen immediately.

 It's no use having a good idea.

 It's okay now, let's work hard.

This matter is not difficult for Han Chuang and others, and they all know several factories that make cans and bottles.

 They are all old acquaintances.

 After that, Chen Ling talked about wild fruits in the mountains.

Such as hawthorn, pears, etc., are also good for canning.

Han Chuang agreed wholeheartedly, and whatever Chen Ling said would come true.

 There is nothing to say about business matters.

This kind of little fuss requires no effort, and Chen Ling doesn't find it troublesome.

After talking, I learned that the Han Chuang brothers knew many glass factories.

 Let's talk about the fish tank.

Fish tank landscaping is so addictive. Even if you don't keep fish in the tank in the future, it will still look good if you make some small scenery and put it indoors or outdoors.

 Most of these glass factories are in other counties in the east, a little far away.

I guess I have to wait until Wang Susu gives birth before going.

 After dinner, Han Chuang and his family left.

 Chen Ling went back to the house and took a nap with Wang Susu.

 After Wang Susu woke up, he would stick to her and rub her shoulders and legs. Pregnant women had various inconveniences. They had less activities and their bodies were sore here and uncomfortable there.

 Sometimes it is difficult to scratch the itch.

“It's good to have some wealth now, and everything will be convenient. Otherwise, it would be a lot of trouble to rush from the village to the hospital when the baby is about to be born.”

Chen Ling rubbed his wife's calf and said, "Look, there is a yard here. It is very convenient to walk to the hospital."

"That's what you said. I guess people in the past were not so squeamish. Everyone in the village said that someone's family belonged to that family. They used to give birth to babies while working in the fields.

 There is no need to go to the hospital. "

Wang Susu held her belly and leaned on the pillow at the head of the bed.

“This is true, but there used to be many midwives in the village.”

Chen Ling smiled and said, "Is it okay now? There are only a lot of midwives in the mountains to the west of Changle Township. We are close to the county. Anyone looking for a midwife will always go to the hospital... Are you willing to find a midwife to give birth in the village?" Baby?"

 Wang Susu shook her head hastily: "I don't want to."

"Yes, it's all for the child to be born well. If the township hospital hadn't been ruthless, no one would have found a midwife there."

Chen Ling said: "This time I went to the city and had dinner at Brother Yuemin's house. He said that Aunt Hongyu would be back in a while, and she would not return to Beijing during the Chinese New Year. She would completely live here with us."

“This is very good. Sister Qiumei also said that Aunt Hongyu's cows are now almost theirs.”

 “Hahaha, when we kill a cow in the future, wouldn't it be enough for each person to share half of the meat?”

“Well, even if I have to go to the hospital after August 15th, and Aunt Hongyu and the others come back, our two families won't be able to have dinner together, and everyone will be dead.”

"...You, do you know what Aunt Hongyu said? They are now starting to prepare clothes for the unborn baby. I said you have a big belly, so they directly prepared three sets, based on the three treasures of the first child, hahaha …”

 “What kind of three treasures are there, full of weird words?”

Wang Susu was angry, but she was also smiling, "Speaking of which, Aunt Hongyu's family is like ours. Teacher Zhao and the others always say they recognize you as their godson.

If Aunt Hongyu and the old couple say this, I will definitely support you in finding a godmother. "

 “Come on, this is good, it's so awkward to recognize your godmother.”

Chen Ling quickly shook his head.

Then he gave Wang Susu another leg and kneaded it, and said: "Our family has made a lot of money this year and has saved a lot of money. There is no place where money is urgently needed right now.

I just want to buy two houses in the capital. Brother Yuemin and Aunt Hongyu are in favor of it.

 I just need to ask for your opinion. "

"Huh? Why do you want to buy a house again? It's enough to have one in the county and city. You also have to buy it in the capital. Can we live so far away?"

 Wang Susu obviously hadn't come to her senses yet. Her first thought was that there were too many houses to live in.

“You don't have to buy a house to live in, the main thing is to buy a shop...”

 Chen Ling explained to her that Beigen is the capital and the political and economic center of the country. No matter how hard it is in the future, housing prices will only rise and not fall.

Especially for shops, if no one lives there, you can make money just by renting them out.

 No one needs to worry about it at all.

Now that the house prices in Bei'an have not skyrocketed, Chen Ling has saved hundreds of thousands and can still buy two sets of shops.

Sun Yanhong and the others asked him to buy arowana.

 He was not willing to part with it.

 It means that you know that you can make a profit without losing money here.

No matter how many children there are in the future, he will not be worried about making money and can continue to live his small life and do what he wants to do.

“Making money is secondary. What if our Ruirui grows up and is able to stay in Bei'an? We must have a place to live.”

“Humph, you can coax me. I think you will buy a house with a yard in every place in the future, and your baby will have a place to live wherever he goes.”

Wang Susu was not fooled by him when it came to her children, but she also knew that her husband's vision was definitely fine.

“Spending so much money to buy a shop is not a small sum of money. Let's talk about it in person when Aunt Hongyu comes, and ask them to find someone to give you advice.”

Wang Susu was worried that Chen Ling would be deceived when he arrived in Bei'an, a place he was not familiar with.

Then so much money earned through hard work has been wasted.

 Chen Ling also knew what she was thinking, so he nodded and said yes. Liang Yuemin also said that even if he didn't find Liang Hongyu and the others, he would still have to find other professionals to ensure that there was no problem with the house purchase contract.

Before the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, the sun is quite long and it gets dark late.

Wang Zhenzhen's school also had a lunch break until three o'clock in the afternoon. When leaving, Chen Ling asked her to bring some crabs for the teachers and classmates to eat.

He went back to the village and made a big pot of what he had caught for his father-in-law and Zhao Yubao's family to eat.

Otherwise, my father-in-law would be lonely at home alone, and he would have to invite both families over to eat and drink, which would make it lively.

 Chen Ling was very interested in catching fish and making crabs.

 It was already dark when we returned to the county town.

 Originally, I wanted to tell my family that I would have to go back to the village to see Qing in the middle of the night.

These days, it has been the turn of the seventh team, and several companies have come out of the seventh team.

Chen Ze and Chen Yuqiang were deliberately waiting for him to come back from the city and said that they would like to have a vigil together this year.

Cousins ​​Chen Baoshuan were also waiting, and they both looked for him eagerly several times.

Chen Ling naturally couldn't let them wait for him forever. The matter of a village was not an individual matter, so he had to put in the effort.

 But I didn't expect it. I just got home and my **** was not hot.

At home, dogs barked, cows roared, and horses neighed, and bursts of crying came from the direction of the river bank outside.

That's a lot of fun.

"I'm going out to take a look. You guys are at home and don't go out yet."

 Chen Ling calmed down the dogs and cows at home and let them look after the house, while he took the horse out to see what was going on.

As a result, there were torches and flashlights on the river bank, bright and lively, and they were shouting something.

As I got closer, I heard what was going on from the noise.

 “I'll beat you son of a **** to death and make you pretend to be a ghost and scare people.”

"Beating her to death has scared my baby. What's wrong with a girl? She's pretending to be a ghost at night to scare people. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

 Chen Ling's heart was moved and she quickly dismounted. Unexpectedly, there was really a female ghost. They were sure they were right. This female ghost turned out to be a person pretending to be a person.

PS: It's the last day. Please vote for me. It's less than 200 tickets and 2,000 tickets. Brothers and sisters, please vote. (end of this chapter)
