1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Doudou, what's wrong?"

Hearing the voice of his eldest daughter, Chen Tiezhu came to the outer room.

But after seeing the situation in front of him, he was also very happy.

Doudou's little body hid behind the smaller little confused kid, holding a big conch in his left hand and a shrimp in his right hand.

Little confused kid was holding the edge of the basin with one claw, and slapping a tiger crab with the other claw.

The tiger crab's head must be buzzing, because little confused kid's claws were slapping too fast.

"Dad, it's too powerful, it broke the shrimp's claws, and it still wanted to pinch Doudou."

The little guy finally had a backbone and ran directly to his side.

"Don't worry, wait a while for sister Yingzi to come back, and dad will avenge you." Chen Tiezhu said seriously.

"Revenge, eat it."

The little guy nodded his head seriously.

This revenge must be avenged, and it must be put into the stomach, no matter whether it tastes good or not.

Seeing the little guy with a fierce face and swearing to take revenge, Li Yinglin and Wang Lifeng were also very amused.

"Then let's clean them up first, and when sister Yingzi comes back, we will cook." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Dad, how to clean them up?" Doudou asked curiously.

"To catch crabs, you can't catch them from the front, you have to sneak attack them." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Pinch it from the back, and it won't be able to catch anything. Then simply brush it with a brush, and you can put it aside to eat."

While talking, Chen Tiezhu also caught a tiger crab. Although it looks a bit fierce, it can't catch anything with its two claws now.

Doudou saw the trick, and didn't care about the big conch and the shrimp. Squatting beside the basin, his little face was tense and his big eyes were wide open.

"Dad, dad, Doudou can catch them now."

The little guy saw the opportunity and made a move. He was very happy to catch this tiger crab.

"My eldest daughter must be so powerful. She will cheer for Dad on the side. Dad will deal with them first." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Yeah."

Doudou nodded obediently, then pulled the small stool over and watched the fun.

"Xiuying still has to work overtime like this now?" Li Yinglin asked.

"That's normal. If she doesn't work overtime, it's abnormal." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Don't be idle. Help me call the second master and the old man. If you call too late, who knows who will go to their house for a free meal. Now they are also first-class at eating for free. Lighting the fire is to heat the kang."

Listening to his words, Li Yinglin was happy again. In his mind, he had already imagined the scene of the two old men going from house to house to eat for free.

Cleaning seafood is not so easy, and it is a bit nagging. When Han Xiuying came back from get off work, Chen Tiezhu hadn't finished cleaning up yet.

Although seafood is delicious, if you don't clean it carefully, it's easy to get an upset stomach.

"Today, Doudou seems to be able to eat to his heart's content." Grandpa Han said with a smile.

"I'll be watching. I'll make some ginger juice later. The seafood is still a little cold." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Dad, don't you cook it and eat it? Do you need to freeze it?" Doudou asked curiously.

"This coldness is different from the coldness of the weather. It tastes good with some ginger vinegar juice." Chen Tiezhu said.

But there is nothing ready now, so he can only take out a large piece of ginger and squeeze it with his brute force. Although not much can be squeezed out, this thing is not much to begin with.

The tiger crab and shrimp are directly steamed in the pot, and the conch and hairy clams can be eaten in two ways, one boiled and the other fried.

Then a large bowl of braised pork, today's dinner is complete.

"Okay, let's start cooking. It's best to dip steamed and boiled crabs in some vinegar." Chen Tiezhu instructed after the food was served.

"Okay, let's start cooking."

Doudou nodded his little head, grabbed a tiger crab, and bit it directly with his little teeth.

But after biting it, his little face fell directly, "Dad, why is this thing so hard?"

"Little greedy cat is so impatient, you have to peel the shell to eat crabs." Chen Tiezhu said helplessly.

"Turn it over first, and see its little butt, right? The small shell on the top, the rounder one is the female crab, and the pointed one is the male crab."

"Pry open this small lid, pry it hard at the root, and see..., the shell is full of yellow. My eldest daughter, take a bite first, and then Dad will teach you how to eat it."

In fact, before he finished speaking, Doudou's little mouth was already wide open.

This delicious taste started to waft out when the crab shell was opened.

The little guy was so happy when he took a bite of the crab roe. He no longer hated the tiger crab for bullying him before dinner.It's her business. You are so delicious, you can be bullied.

After eating the crab roe, Chen Tiezhu taught the little guy to distinguish between crab gills, crab heart, and crab stomach. These are not edible. The crab meat picked out and dipped in ginger vinegar juice is also very flavorful.

After eating the crab, Chen Tiezhu picked up the scissors and a shrimp at the same time.

After cutting the two sides, pulling the head, and lifting the shrimp shell, a piece of meat appeared in front of the little guy.

Doudou was so happy. With her little hands, she grabbed it and put it to her mouth. In a short while, the shrimp meat was eaten clean by her.

The little mouth smacked, why is it so sweet?

"My dear, let's try another conch." Chen Tiezhu grabbed another big conch.

With a poke and a pull of the chopsticks, the whole conch meat was brought out by him.

"Dad, it's grown up, as big as Doudou's hand." The little girl showed her little hand.

"You can eat a few bites of this properly, and then eat something else, otherwise your little belly won't be able to hold it." Chen Tiezhu said.

"There are also many things that you can't eat here, wait for Dad to help you slowly. You have to be careful when eating, some of them will cause diarrhea and dizziness."

Watching Chen Tiezhu patiently explaining to the little guy and serving him to eat, he himself has not eaten a bite until now, and everyone is helpless.

Everyone knows that he really dotes on his daughter, but he can't dote on her like this, right?

And the little girl, that's really happy to eat.

For her, she has never eaten these, and they are so delicious.

After tasting them all, the little girl picked up a shrimp by herself.

The little hand also grabbed the big scissors. Although the action was a little clumsy, the shrimp shell was cut directly.

Just when everyone thought the little guy was going to feast on the food, she put the shrimp meat directly to Chen Tiezhu's mouth.

After feeding the shrimp, the little guy happily grabbed a tiger crab and opened it like his father just now. He removed the inedible parts and put them all into his father's bowl.

In an instant, everyone felt that the seafood they ate was not so fresh.

An emotion called "jealousy" began to spread in everyone's hearts.

Why?

Why should Doudou serve you like this?

"Ding Di"

At this time, a horn sounded at the door.
