Ye Zhiying moved a small bench over and asked for the brush to start brushing crabs.

Her two children also brought a small bench over and obediently grabbed crabs to brush them.

When Lu Ao saw this, he said, "You go ahead and play, let the adults handle this matter."

The younger son rushed to say: "It's okay, we can help."

Children who grew up by the sea are not afraid of crabs, and they will almost never get pinched if they hold a crab's butt.

Seeing that they were happy, Lu Ao didn't try to persuade them any more.

Ye Zhiying smiled and found two pairs of rubber gloves and gave them to the two children.

Wear gloves, even if you get pinched, it won't hurt that much.

Seeing that they were getting ready, Lu Ao asked Ye Zhiying, "Sister-in-law, have they started school yet?"

"Yes, it has been open for more than a week." Ye Zhiying smiled, "This is a dormitory for the older ones. I will go to school tomorrow."

Lu Ao looked at Ye Zhiying's eldest daughter.

Her eldest daughter was thin and small, her skin was a bit dark, and she was quite shy. When she saw Lu Ao and Song Zhou, she didn't dare to talk to them at all.

Lu Ao asked casually: "If we stay here, how will we eat?"

"Bring vegetables." Ye Zhiying said, "Their school cooks steamed rice, and if you bring some vegetables yourself, it's barely enough."

Her daughter lowered her head and brushed the crabs while whispering: "It's not delicious."

Lu Ao asked: "Then what do you eat?"

"Stir-fried meat with onions, green pepper tofu, soaked green pepper tofu and boiled eggplant, these are the same every week."

The younger son interrupted, "We eat this too. And steamed eggs."

Ye Zhiying looked at his children and said with pity: "It's a little better now. The country has such a nutritious lunch plan. They can eat an egg every day and drink two boxes of milk every week. It's much better than before. We used to do radishes."

We take turns eating pickled cabbage, chili and fried fish, and the conditions are much worse than theirs."

Lu Ao looked at the little boy and asked, "In what grade are they going to study in the town now?"

"Fourth grade." Ye Zhiying said, "The first to third grade are in the village primary school, and the fourth grade and up are in the town central primary school."

"Can such a young child take care of himself?"

"With the life teacher, there is nothing to take care of. If you have enough food and clothing, that's pretty much it."

Lu Ao had never gone to school in his hometown, so he felt a little heavy when he heard this.

Songzhou knew what he was thinking, and touched him gently with his legs, silently comforting him.

The five of them gathered around the large laundry tub and cleaned crabs. After cleaning half of the tub, Lin Manzhang and others gathered together and returned.

As soon as Lin Gongshang entered the door, he saw half a basin of crabs in the large laundry tub. He couldn't help but sigh: "You guys are so fast. I guess there aren't as many of us as you."

Ye Zhiying smiled and kicked the bucket next to her, "There's still more in the bucket."

Lin Gongshang leaned over to take a look, "Oh, it's true, they are all quite fat."

"How about the fact that the crab roe tops are fat in August, which is the fattest time." Lin Manzhang took a look and said, "How many have been harvested? I will pull out some onions and garlic to prepare the crabs."

"It is estimated to be more than ten kilograms." Ye Zhiying showed the crab to them and praised: "The crabs caught by Lu Ao and Song Zhou were big, well-proportioned, and very beautiful."

"Hey, that's good. Then I'll go get ready."

Lin Gongshang couldn't wait, "I'll go with you to start the fight."

Ge Ranzhou and Lin Qiyan had no choice but to sit nearby and farm crabs.

Both of them are clumsy, worse than two children.

Ye Zhiying prepared a pair of gloves for each of them.

The crabs they caught were also dumped.

The newly dumped crabs were large, small, and quite a few stone crabs, but they were far less beautiful than those caught by Lu Ao and Song Zhou.

Lin Qiyan couldn't even see it, so he grabbed a big swimming crab and said, "It's a good thing I asked you to come with me, otherwise we wouldn't be able to eat crabs tonight."

Ge Ranzhou caught crabs for the first time. He didn't quite understand the difference and was not convinced. He grabbed a stone crab and raised it to his eyes. "At most, I'll eat less, so I won't be unable to eat it."

"I really can't eat it," Lin Qiyan said, "but I can eat crab shells."

Stone crabs have more shells and less meat, so they only have a taste when eaten.

The two children next to him burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Lin Qiyan teased them, "It's so late, why don't you go to bed?"

The younger son spoke eloquently, "Not so fast, let's wait for the crab to eat."

"Oh, that's good, you have a good taste. What kind of crab do you like to eat? Braised? Boiled? Stir-fried?"

"I like to eat what Uncle Lu Ao and the others have caught."

"Hahahahaha." Lin Qiyan turned to the kitchen and shouted, "Brother Zhang, did you hear that? Your son doesn't want to eat the crab you caught!"

"I'm just having fun. Hurry up and bring some of the crabs in. I'll fry some first."

Their fried crabs are fried first.

Lin Qiyan carried a small half bucket in. Lin Manzhang took it, poured it into the pool, and began to process it further.

For safety reasons, these crabs are killed before cooking.

Killing crabs is also simple. Just stick a chopstick into the crab's mouth, stir it a little, and the crab will be dead.

Lin Manzhang took out the chopsticks, took off the belly of the crab, put it on the chopping board, chopped it in half, chopped it into two pieces, and then dipped the broken parts in flour with seasoning. After everything was done, he could put it into the frying pan.

Deep fried.

Lin Manzhang moved very quickly.

In a short while, a large pot of crabs was chopped.

He poured half a pot of oil into the pot, heated the oil pot first, then poured the crabs in and fried them.

When the crabs are put into the oil pan, they turn red almost instantly and the aroma wafts out.

The fried crabs were golden and crispy. Lin Gongshang sniffed and couldn't help but said: "It smells so good."

Lin Manzhang said: "It will be more fragrant if fried."

Lin Manzhang started another pot and put two more spoons of oil in the pot. When the oil was hot, he added ginger, garlic, green onions, and chili peppers. When they were fragrant, he poured the crabs in.

The kitchen was filled with sizzling sounds and the aroma of oil smoke.

Lin Manzhang quickly stir-fried the crabs in the pot a few times, then added beer, brought the beer to a boil, added oyster sauce, light soy sauce, sugar, etc., and used high heat to reduce the juice.

Finally, add the thin gravy, add some salt, sprinkle with chopped green onion and green and red pepper rings, and it's ready to serve.

Compared to stir-fried crabs.

Steaming crabs is easier. Just brush them clean and put them directly into the pot, steaming them for eight minutes.

The crabs from Lin Manzhang's side are fried, and the crabs from Lin Gongshang's side are also steamed.

Lingong Shang was not afraid of being burned, so he picked out the steamed crabs one by one in a large iron basin and threw them into the iron basin.

Lin Manzhang went out with a pot of braised crabs.

"The crabs are coming -" Lin Manzhang shouted.

Ye Zhiying quickly placed the bamboo mat on the table, and Lin Manzhang placed the crabs and greeted everyone, "It's ready to eat."

Lin Qiyan drooled while filming, "This crab is so delicious."

"Just pick it up and eat it. If it's still alive, put it in the pot. Of course it's delicious. Come on, come on, take a bowl, take a bowl, and start eating."

Everyone hurriedly went to get bowls, chopsticks and drinks.

The adults drank beer, and the children drank coconut milk.

Lu Ao spotted a large piece of braised swimming crab and put it into his bowl.

The crab was dripping with juice, and Lu Ao sucked the juice first.

The soup is slightly salty but very fresh.

Lu Ao's eyebrows couldn't help but move.

He lowered his head, bit open the crab body, and ate the crab meat inside.

This is just a female crab. The crab body is full of crab roe, which is fragrant and fresh. The crab roe is especially delicate. When you push it on the tip of your tongue, the unique aroma of fat permeates the crab, and the aroma is staggering.

After eating the crab roe, the crab meat is also very delicious.

Especially this size of crab, the size is just right, too big and a bit old, too small and no meat, but this size of crab, you can bite into it and get just a mouthful of meat, which is fresh and tender.

After Lu Ao finished eating one, he took a big sip of beer, suppressed the spicy taste on his tongue, and narrowed his eyes.

After eating the fried food, he went to try the steamed food.

Steamed crabs are very sweet, and a little bit of crab vinegar is perfect.
