Exile at the beginning: farming with power space

Chapter 173

Grandpa Meng followed Qi Yuanshan to the seaside, but he didn't have time to listen to those little old men's ink, but directly directed a group of boys to start working.

The young squat barefoot on the beach to pick up seafood, and the older ones can go down into the puddles to catch fish.

A group of boys, no matter how old or young they are, love the work given to them by the second uncle (second uncle).

Only Meng Yutang was still a little listless, picking up things on the beach, but not talking.

Qi Shan, Qi Tian, ​​and Qi He all followed him to tease him, but right now he was like a clam shell with his mouth shut, not saying a word.

Qi He was afraid that Meng Yutang would be overwhelmed, so he had no choice but to go to Sister Fu to ask for advice.

"Sister Fu, what do you think we should do?"

"What else can I do? Of course it depends!"

Qi He: "Sister Fu has started to be mischievous again."

"No."

Qi He: ...

"Brother Qi, we can't persuade you about this kind of thing. Even if we wear our mouths out now, my cousin may not listen to it."

"Seems to be."

"Think about it, whoever it is now can't stand being abandoned by his own mother."

"But his mother didn't treat him well before."

"No matter how bad it is, that person is his mother. Let me give you an analogy. There is a wooden stake that is stuck in the place you pass by every day. When you pass by one day, you find that the wooden stake is missing. You may also If you look at it twice, you will still wonder in your heart, where did the wooden stake go?"

"A piece of wood can do this, not to mention that person is not a piece of wood, but his mother."

"Oh, it's Sister Fu who knows a lot, she understands everything." While admiring Sister Fu, Qi He seized the opportunity to remember all the things his father told him that could be planted. I told Sister Fu again.

Qi He talked a lot in Sister Fu's ear, but Fu Xinci listened very attentively, and she put all the seeds in her father's laboratory into the space.

Thinking of her parents, her expression was gloomy, and an indescribable sadness appeared on her face.

"Sister Fu, what's the matter with you?"

"It's okay." Fu Xinci replied against her will.

Qi He seldom saw Sister Fu like this, so he was very worried.But Sister Fu refused to say what was wrong, and it was hard for him to ask.

Grandpa Meng looked at the little old men who were chattering and directing the boys to work, and said to them unceremoniously: "The boys have done a good job, you guys don't make trouble here."

The few people who were disliked by the second brother did not dare to talk more, and they were all at a loss like children who were punished by their master.

Seeing their appearance, Grandpa Meng wished he could go up and kick them.Standing there stupidly one by one, under the hot sun, they will suffer from heat stroke after a while.

Seeing those idiots, Grandpa Meng had no choice but to change his words: "You guys go pick some clams and bring them back."

"Second brother, is it for us?" Meng Wuye asked ecstatically.

"Of course it's for you, pick it up yourself, and bring as much as you can pick up."

"Hey." Hearing the second brother's order, several little old men squatted down one after another and searched in the sand.

"Fifth Brother, there are clams under the sand, shall we take them all back?" Meng Qiye asked Fifth Brother with some uncertainty.

"Second brother already said, we can take as much as we can."

"Hey." After listening to Fifth Brother's explanation, the little old men began to pick clams with bright eyes.

Grandpa Meng glanced over occasionally, and saw that those guys had taken off their coats, revealing the little gowns inside, so he held back a smile and said nothing.

Seeing their father pulling his trouser legs up to his knees and kneeling on the beach picking clams, the twins silently worked harder to pick up seafood.

There are many people today, and after a while, the wicker baskets by the edge of the pine forest are filled with seafood.

Today's luck was good, Qi Yuanshan caught more than a dozen big sea fish.

Fu Xinci and Qi He also caught half a bamboo basket of sea prawns, as well as many small octopus and cuttlefish.

"Fortunately, Sister Fu is smart and blocked the top with grass, otherwise they would all have to jump out." Qi He started talking when he saw his father.

Qi Yuanshan was also very curious when he saw the good things in the bamboo baskets of the two children, "Xin Ci, how do you eat these things?"

"Uncle Qi, I want to dry these things and save them for hot pot in winter."

Hearing Fu Xinci talk about hot pot, everyone who heard it couldn't help swallowing, especially those young ones, who almost shouted that they wanted to eat it now.

Qi He had never eaten hot pot, and seeing that everyone looked like this, he knew that hot pot must be a good thing.

Fu Xinci didn't explain anything to him, but smiled like a promise, and said: "When the weather gets cold, we'll eat hot pot."

"Hot pot is so delicious?" Hearing what Sister Fu said, Qi He also wanted to taste hot pot.

"How should I put it, in the extremely cold weather in winter, we sit in a hot room and eat steaming hot pot around the table, have you ever thought about that scene?"

"It's best if it's still snowing outside, so we can sit in Grandpa Meng's main room." Grandpa Meng's main room is the most spacious and can seat many people.

"Well, there is a large brass hot pot with fruit wood charcoal burning under it. There is a layer of cooked pork belly on the bottom of the pot, put shredded sauerkraut on it, pour stewed chicken broth or big bone broth, cover the lid, and then Put it outside the door and let it stew first. Gudu, Gudu, the pot is boiling, and the taste is a different kind of fragrance."

"Sister Fu, why do you put the hot pot outside the door to stew?"

"That kind of charcoal fire will release a kind of qi. When the doors and windows are closed tightly in winter, that kind of qi can't get out. People will feel dizzy when they smell it."

Fu Xinci didn't dare to tell Qi He about carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, etc., so she had to explain it in such a simple way, and she didn't know if Qi He could understand it.

"Oh, what about after the sauerkraut is cooked?" Qi He is most concerned about what to put in the hot pot. In his opinion, the pork belly stewed with sauerkraut and chicken soup is already delicious.But according to Sister Fu, it seems that there are a lot of things to put.

"When the sauerkraut is almost stewed, you can add seafood, crabs, prawns, sea prawns, sea cucumbers, general caps, clams... and thinly sliced ​​mutton."

"Leave them alone?"

"There are many kinds, you can put whatever you like."

"There are many more. Why doesn't Sister Fu say it?"

Fu Xinci looked around, then lowered her voice and explained to Qi He: "I'm a partial eclipse, and I don't want to put something I don't like."

"What does Sister Fu dislike most?"

"Oyster locust, conch, leek flower, raw soybean paste..."

"That's all four, no more?"

"Yes, I have."

"And why didn't you say it?"

"If I talk too much, I'm afraid people will say I'm hypocritical."
