Golden Fishing Village

Looking at the smashed crab, the general realized that he might have made a mistake, so he quickly opened his eyes, opened his mouth and let his tongue hang down, habitually pretending to be innocent.

Lu Zhizi said dejectedly: "I finally caught a crab."

Ao Muyang hugged her and wanted to say something to comfort her, but found that he had already hugged her, so what else could he say? Just hug her honestly.

After a while, the female teacher said, "Okay, I feel better now."

Ao Muyang did not move, and snorted, "Yeah."

The female teacher patted him on the back and said, "Okay, you can let me go."

Ao Muyang said, "Are you not feeling bad?"

The female teacher said, "Yeah, I am not feeling bad."

Ao Muyang said again, "Then pretend to feel bad for a while, and I will hug you again."

Female teacher: "..."

Good times are always short. Some people from the village came to work in the rice fields. Ao Muyang let go of the female teacher helplessly, and then winked at the general, suggesting that the general would smash the crabs she caught later.

Fishing crabs is not difficult. Lu Zhizi quickly caught another one. The general got the order and ran over.

Before it came to the front, Lu Zhizi showed it the sharp fish hook, and then the general retreated with his tail between his legs.

Seeing this, Ao Muyang was disappointed and could only sigh that this coward was a loser.

The weather was warm but not hot. This season was the best for outdoor activities. The two wandered around in the rice fields until noon. After the sun began to get hot, they were almost done wandering.

Ao Muyang went to the South River to wash his hands. Lu Zhizi shouted excitedly: "There is another leech nest here, come and put the hook."

"That's a leech nest, don't stick your finger in it." Ao Muyang took a look and reminded quickly.

Hearing this, Lu Zhizi was startled and quickly took back the hook.

Looking at the leech nests exposed above the water, Ao Muyang sighed: "The water is really tight this year. The water level is so low. The river water used to reach my neck, but now it can only reach my ankles."

Lu Zhizi said: "Maybe there will be heavy rain later. A few heavy rains can solve the drought disaster."

"I hope so."

Ao Muyang sighed and walked home with the general leader.

They had a good harvest. They found half a plastic bucket of crabs in a row. This was already a lot, enough for two people to eat and make some crab sauce.

Crawls mature in autumn and winter, when the number is the largest. People will use them to make crab crisps and crab sauce after catching them.

However, there are very few people catching crabs in autumn and winter now. First, everyone has no shortage of food. Second, too much pesticide and fertilizer is added to the farmland in summer and autumn, and crabs are polluted and can no longer be eaten.

On the contrary, in autumn, rice has just been planted and there is no time to apply pesticides and fertilizers. Crabs are not polluted and are more edible.

But not many people come to catch crabs at this time, because there are few crabs in spring. Except for idle people like Ao Muyang and Lu Zhizi, everyone else is busy going out to sea or working. A year's plan lies in spring, so don't waste time at this time.

When he answered his family, Ao Zhibing took the crabs when he saw him carrying them, and cleaned them with water, smiling, "Boss, what do you want to do?"

Ao Muyang said, "I'll fry some crab crisps first. I haven't eaten this for a long time."

Ao Zhibing was tired of eating this thing, so he naturally didn't eat it, but just came to make it specially.

Wash and chop the crabs, and the old man added salt, sugar, red wine lees, sorghum wine and a series of seasonings. In the past, it would take two days to marinate it, but Lu Zhizi has a light taste, so it only takes half a day.

Ao Zhibing poured a little sorghum wine into it. This is the wine brewed by the old people themselves, and they are used to drinking it. Not many people usually drink it, so it is useful for frying crab crisps. After the crabs are marinated with sorghum wine, they are especially crispy and fragrant.

Ao Muyang prepared to make crab sauce, which is a skillful job.

He took the remaining half of the crab to the village to find a stone mill, chopped it up and put it in the stone mill, and ground it like tofu.

After working for a while, he was too lazy to do it, so he called the general over.

The general thought there was something delicious, and happily let go of the unlucky dog ​​under it, shaking his head and running over.

Ao Muyang tied the millstone set to it, drew a circle with his hand, and signaled it to pull the millstone in circles.

The general was extremely strong, and it had no pressure to pull the millstone. It stretched its neck and head, and ran around the millstone with its limbs trying to grab the ground. Soon, it pulled the millstone in circles.

The crab shells of spring crabs are very brittle, and they will break into pieces when ground, and will soon become sauce.

The result is a simple crab sauce, which can be used as a condiment to dip fried fresh fish and pancakes, and it tastes more delicious than soy sauce and shrimp oil.

Ao Muyang untied the general, and the general suddenly stopped circling. He was a little uncomfortable for a while, and opened his mouth and burped twice. Ao Muyang was shocked: "No way, he vomited now?"

One of the general's entertainment activities is to circle and bite his tail. It's really no problem to turn dozens or hundreds of circles in a row. It's a bit incredible that he vomited after only turning ten or so circles.

Fortunately, the general just burped, probably because he ate too much in the morning and was too full, not because of turning the mill in circles.

Ao Muyang collected the crab sauce, and Lu Zhizi squatted beside him and asked: "Can it be eaten like this?"

Ao Fugui, who was waiting to turn the mill to push the soybean powder, smiled and said: "It can be eaten like this, but it can be processed again to make a proper fisherman's crab sauce."

The fisherman's crab sauce mentioned by Ao Fugui is a pure folk condiment in the fishing village.

In the past, when times were difficult, in order to enrich the dinner table, this fisherman's crab sauce was a food that fishermen in the water town would make themselves.

But today, for the new generation, fisherman's crab sauce makes everyone feel unfamiliar. Not only are there very few people who make salty sauce at home, but this sauce is also rarely sold in the market. Occasionally, you can have the opportunity to see it in some restaurants with "old chefs".

Crab sauce itself is an ingredient, but after deep processing, it becomes a very precious seafood condiment, which is most suitable for dishes such as stir-fried cabbage and steamed pork.

After hearing what Ao Fugui said, Lu Zhizi asked expectantly: "Fugui, can you make it?"

Ao Fugui scratched the back of his head awkwardly and said: "I can't make it, I haven't eaten it much, and only the older generation here can make it."

"That's not so good. In the past, the older generation left their hometowns and went to Southeast Asia to make a living. They must bring three major sauces, shrimp sauce, seafood sauce, and crab sauce. When they encounter water and soil incompatibility, they add a spoonful of crab sauce, and they will eat and sleep well immediately." Ao Fugui's father said.

Lu Zhizi asked him again: "Uncle, can you make it?"
