1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer Chapter 538

Genius is slightly bright.

Li Duoyu woke up and looked at Zhou Xiaoying who was still sleeping and Tutu with her calf on his belly.

He frowned slightly, feeling a little embarrassed. He had promised to serve the leader last night.

But Li Duoyu didn't expect that when he coaxed little Tutu to sleep, he fell asleep first.

Even now, Li Duoyu doesn't know whether he put him to sleep or whether it was Xiaoying who put him to sleep.

“Damn, it's so **** unreliable.”

Li Duoyu touched Xiaoying's head. She frowned while she was still asleep, then changed the direction and continued sleeping.

Although she could make up for it by doing morning exercises, seeing how deeply she slept, she decided not to do it.

Li Duoyu got off the bed lightly.

Seeing a pile of invitations neatly placed on the table, I couldn't help but feel very distressed. I probably wrote them very late last night.

After Li Duoyu woke up, he looked at the time and saw that it was only half past five.

It's a bit early.

But he was not sleepy at all.

Since he got up so early, he would make breakfast today.

Their family is relatively wealthy, but breakfast is still relatively simple. Most of the time, it is porridge with dried fish, mustard and pickles. Occasionally, they will order seafood porridge and boil one or two eggs for little Tutu to eat. .

What's for breakfast?

Li Duoyu thought about it. It's really boring to eat the same breakfast all the time. Let's give them a different taste.

I remember that Zhou Xiaoying liked to eat hotpot paste in her previous life, and Li Duoyu planned to cook a high-end version of seafood hotpot paste for her.

The most important ingredient for making pancake paste is flour. After rummaging around in the kitchen for a while, I finally found a whole can of flour in the basket hanging in mid-air.

Pot paste made with self-beaten rice milk has the best taste, but it is too time-consuming to make. If you don't prepare it all morning, you won't be able to grind out the rice milk at all.

After finding the flour, Li Duoyu went directly to the dock. The morning sun had just emerged from the sea, and the entire sea turned orange.

Li Duoyu and the villagers on the island were all accustomed to such beautiful scenery. The most they could say was: It seems like the weather is good again today.

It was just dawn, and there were already many fishermen setting up stalls on the pier, and many of the things they sold were not wanted by the fishmongers.

It is also very helpless to say that after fishermen catch good things, they will be bought by fishmongers as soon as possible. Those fishmongers who don't want them will be sold at the Hong Kong pier.

But that doesn't mean that the seafood that the fishmongers don't want is particularly bad. Some of them are just of poor quality. For example, the swimming crab has broken legs and legs, the fish scales are falling off, and the skin of the gun barrel squid is seriously damaged. Some of them are just out of scale. Compared with It's scattered, and fishmongers don't like to buy it.

“Director Li, it's so early, are you here to buy fish?” A fisherman named Zhifeng said, “I have a lot of trash fish here, do you want to take a look?”

Li Duoyu took a second look and thought it was average. The seafood he sold, such as mullet, pomfret, and hairtail, all had a strong fishy smell and were not suitable for making pot **** paste.

Turning to the stall where the Zhao brothers were sitting, the two brothers were all smiles when they saw Li Duoyu. Zhao Dahai even wanted to give Li Duoyu the small folding stool on his buttocks to sit on.

After taking a few glances, Li Duoyu felt that the seafood of the two brothers was good. There were two small green dragons and some swimming crabs with broken legs.

If I remember correctly, May is also the season for plump swimming crabs. Each of the swimming crabs in the stalls of these two brothers looked quite plump, with limbs and arms and legs missing, and the quality was not very good.

When people in the city buy, they may also ask for better quality, but when Li Duoyu was in Rongcheng, every time he went to the vegetable market, he would buy the kind with severed hands and feet. The taste was exactly the same, but the taste was exactly the same. Can be a lot cheaper.

Li Duoyu said: "I bought all three lobsters, and give me a fatter swimming crab, a squid, and a few triangle scallops."

Zhao Dahai grinned and said: "Brother Yu, you usually take good care of us. Let alone a few, I can give you all of them."

Li Duoyu frowned and said, "That won't work. Just one code and one code. I am a person of organization and discipline. I hate buying things without paying."

Zhao Dahai frowned, and then said: "Then I will sell it to you at the purchase price."

Without waiting for Li Duoyu to agree, Zhao Dahai weighed it casually and quoted directly: "Brother Yu, the total is six yuan."

Li Duoyu frowned slightly. Now a pound of small green dragon costs five yuan. Although the small green dragon they caught is not big, only about four or five taels.

Three of them add up, which is almost six yuan. This means that the swimming crabs, squids and triangle shells are all given away for free.

This price is really not the purchase price, but the lowest price. Since the other party has already quoted the price, Li Duoyu is too lazy to continue "bargaining". After all, making pot paste is quite time-consuming, so he directly gave the other party six yuan. If I have money, I plan to go back and make breakfast.

But just as he was leaving, Zhao Dahai asked: "Brother Yu, I forgot, when will our commendation meeting start?"

When he asked this, Li Duoyu was stunned for a while: "If you are right, it should be three days later. At that time, the village committee will organize everyone to go."

“I understand, thank you Brother Yu.”

After buying the seafood, Li Duoyu suddenly asked: "By the way, the sea, have you ever seen sand from your triangle shell?"

"I've vomited it, so there's no sand."

"That's good."

Li Duoyu hurried home from the pier and looked at the time on his watch. It was already six o'clock.

He quickly processed the seafood. The crayfish was relatively simple, just cut it in half and clean off the gills.

The swimming crab is also cut in half. Due to the season, the inside is full of red paste. Just clean the shrimp and triangle scallops.

When Li Duoyu processed the seafood and returned to the kitchen, he found that Zhou Xiaoying was already awake, still wearing pajamas, her hair was messy, and she looked listless.

She was squatting in the rice vat, scooping out rice, while the firebox of the stove was already pulsing with red flames.

Seeing Li Duoyu come in with a basin of seafood, Zhou Xiaoying was puzzled: "Are there any guests at noon? Why are you getting so much seafood so early in the morning?"

"No."

Li Duoyu chuckled and said, "I'm making this for you. Don't wash the rice. You can have a good rest this morning. I'll make breakfast."

“How could I know such a good thing so early in the morning?” Zhou Xiaoying said this, but after seeing those lobsters and swimming crabs, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva. They were her favorite foods.

"Then you made breakfast. I'm going to wash my hair. It was too hot last night and my hair was sticky and uncomfortable."

Li Duoyu frowned and said, "Don't wash your hair in the morning, you know, it's easy to get a headache."

Zhou Xiaoying frowned and said, "I know, why are you becoming more and more like my mother-in-law? You always like to take care of me. I can't do it without washing. I feel itchy."

“You can wash it, but don't use cold water.”

Zhou Xiaoying scratched her head: "I know, I'll go take a shower."

Next, Li Duoyu uses flour to make slurry water. If he wants the paste on the side of the pot to be delicious, the rice slurry must be mixed well.

When the ratio of flour to water is 1:1, the pot-side texture will be the best.

After making the pulp, she went to the vegetable garden and pulled out two celery stalks. After washing them, Xiaoying boiled some water in a large iron pot to make porridge.

Li Duoyu directly put the washed seafood in to blanch it, and then fished it all out again.

Immediately afterwards, scoop a spoonful of lard to lubricate the pot first. If you want to prevent the sides of the pot from being mushy, this step of lubricating the oil is absolutely essential, otherwise it will turn into crumbs in minutes.

After Li Duoyu finished moistening the oil, he poured some water into the big iron pot, and then added the most soulful seasonings on the side of the pot. That is the dried fish of Balang fish.

For Li Duoyu, without putting this thing in, no matter how much seafood he put in, the batter on the edge of the pot would not taste right.

The most authentic pot side batter, and scallop sides. Unfortunately, their place is not suitable for breeding such scallops that can run away.

After boiling water and dried fish for a while, Li Duoyu directly put the blanched seafood in to cook together.

Next, use a large iron spoon to scoop up the rice milk and slowly pour it down along the edge of the oiled pot.

This action must be done quickly, and the rice milk must be stuck to the edge of the pot while the rice milk is not paying attention. In just ten seconds, the edge of the pot can be shoveled into the seafood soup in the direction of pouring.

When pouring rice milk for the second time,

Still need to apply a layer of oil.

　　When Li Duoyu was halfway through making the pot paste, there was movement in the bedroom. When little Tutu got up, she found that there was no one in the bedroom, and cried slightly: "Mom, where are you?"

Li Duoyu shouted to him: "Tutu, don't stay in bed, get up quickly, I'll prepare something delicious for you."

Not a while.

A little kid with a sleepy face came to the kitchen barefoot. When he saw Li Duoyu, he asked: "Where is my mother?"

"Your mother is washing her hair outside. When I wake up all day long, I know to look for her and put my shoes on quickly. Don't run around barefoot or get pricked by shells later."

Little Tutu hummed: "Bad dad, last night you promised to put me to sleep and tell me stories, but you fell asleep first."

After hearing this, Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly. I don't know what's going on recently, but this kid is getting better and better at talking.

But during this period, Xiao Tutu was also very attached to Zhou Xiaoying. Several times when she had to go to school, Xiao Tutu would hug her thigh tightly and cry so hard.

Xiaoying, who has never been late, was made late by her son. I heard that she took her little Tutu with her to class that day.

　In terms of previous lives, most children of this age who sleep with their parents will suffer from separation anxiety.

“Then I'm going to find my mother-in-law”

Little Tutu was about to go find Zhou Xiaoying, but when she smelled the aroma from the big iron pot, her little eyes widened and she swallowed. Then she dragged the small bamboo chair over and stood on it.

“Are you ready? I want to eat.”

“It'll be ready soon. Go to the yard and ask your mother to come over and eat together.”

Little Tutu jumped off the bamboo chair and ran directly into the yard. Li Duoyu wanted to remind him to put on his shoes first.

The result turned around.

There is no human figure to be seen.

Li Duoyu feels that this kid will definitely not be a fuel-efficient lamp when he grows up.

After washing her hair, Zhou Xiaoying was tilting her head and rubbing her hair with a towel. In this era when electric dryers were not yet common, everyone could only dry it or wait for it to dry naturally after washing their hair. .

Li Duoyu said: "How long does it take to dry this? After the electricity is turned on, I will buy you an electric dryer to blow it away."

“That thing is useless, isn't it? If it is used, everyone will have a power outage.”

If I remember correctly, electric wind blowers only entered China in the 1990s, but for those smuggling along the coast, this thing was available at that time.

It's just that the voltage was very unstable at that time and the wattage of the electric wind was very high.

I remember that Lao Lu's family had an electric dryer. As soon as his family used the electric dryer, the lights in the entire street nearby suddenly turned on and off.

Wang Jinjun's TV was damaged by Lao Lu several times, and then it couldn't be turned on. It cost several hundred yuan to have it repaired.

They had a big quarrel over this matter and almost got into a fight. After that, Lao Lu never used that thing again.

Zhou Xiaoying was quite surprised when she looked at the contents in the big iron pot. She naturally knew what Li Duoyu was cooking.

She was very greedy for this stuff when she was in school in Rongcheng, but at that time, the school master never made it for them to save trouble.

And this was the first time she had seen such a luxurious pot batter, which actually used lobster, swimming crab, and squid rings.

When the Li Duoyu comes out of the pot, sprinkle the chopped celery in, let it simmer for a while, and the umami-rich pot rim batter will be ready.

Zhou Xiaoying was a little surprised: "I didn't expect you would do this."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "How about it? Your husband is awesome."

Zhou Xiaoying said sincerely: "Awesome, really awesome."

To be honest, there is really no one else in Shangfeng Town who is as good at making money as he is and also knows how to cook.

After Li Duoyu brought the soup, Zhou Xiaoying took the first sip of the soup. Unexpectedly, it was many times more delicious than the soup she had eaten in Rongcheng.

The soup is fresh and fragrant.

The sides of the pot are thin and tender.

After taking a few bites, Zhou Xiaoying's eyes widened: "It's so delicious. How did you make it?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "It's delicious, just eat more and eat all the lobsters."

“Aren't you going to eat?”

Li Duoyu replied: “I don't like lobsters and crabs very much.”

After hearing this, Zhou Xiaoying suddenly fell silent for a while, and then sighed: "You are getting more and more powerful now, making me seem useless."

"Who dares to say that you are useless? You, a primary school teacher, speak more English than college students, and you teach students so well. In addition, you are so beautiful, take care of your family and love your husband. This year's Advanced Teacher Award, It has to be you."

“Stop, stop, stop.”

Seeing Li Duoyu keep praising herself, Zhou Xiaoying blushed with embarrassment, while little Tutu on the side secretly took a sip of soup, which made him scream.

“Mom, my mouth feels so hot.”

“Don't keep it in your mouth, spit it out.”

As Xiao Tutu spit out the soup, Zhou Xiaoying felt distressed and angry: "Eat slowly to see if it's hot. Try to see if it's hot before eating. No one is trying to compete with you, so why worry?"

“I got it, Aniang.”

After hearing this, Li Duoyu suddenly remembered that when he was a child, there were many children at home, and once there was something delicious, he would eat.

The brothers and sisters were really fighting for food. At that time, the second brother was more greedy and would steal food in advance every time. Sister Shuihua took Duoyu, Xiaoying and Xiaorong to fight with him.

The two sides also fought several times over the matter of grabbing food, and the second brother's face was scratched several times by Sister Shuihua.

Both of them were finally repaired by their father with sticks. However, Duoyu, Xiaoying, and Xiaorong, because they were relatively young, were not beaten and were forced to stand.

Li Duoyu still remembers that when he was forced to stand for two hours, his legs would literally break. (End of chapter)
