35, grow up(1/2)
It was almost 12 noon when Lu Ao got home from catching the geese. The weather was extremely hot. He was suffocating and simmering. The sweat stuck to his body, causing itchiness all over his body.
Summer is like this, the weather is bright but hot.
He put the goose into the pen, gave it food and water, locked the door, and walked into the yard.
The first thing he did when he got home was that he couldn't wait to go to the bathroom and take a shower. He even washed his hair twice.
Finally feeling refreshed, he went out to cook and eat.
The weather was too hot and he had no appetite, so he ate simple cold noodles.
After the noodles are cooked, take them out and put them in ice water for a while, then put them into a bowl, add cucumber shreds, carrot shreds, eggplant strips and other vegetables, then pour the prepared hot and sour sauce, and put a full bowl on top.
Cover the braised pork and you can eat it directly.
The cold noodles that have been soaked in ice water are cold and chewy. When combined with the spicy and sour sauce, one bite will make you very appetizing.
Take a bite of the noodles and get a piece of hearty and flavorful braised pork. Every fiber of the meat is soaked up by the sauce. It is soft, tender and fragrant. It is not sticky at all. When you knock your teeth on the meat, you can squeeze out all the meat juice.
The full meat juice filled the mouth, giving Lu Ao an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
After eating the noodles and the meat, eat the noodles with the noodles. The refreshing vegetables will wipe away the greasy bit, making you have a better appetite. You can't wait to take a big bite and come back for countless bites.
Lu Ao was very satisfied with the noodles at noon today. He ate three large bowls of noodles in one go and then lazily took the dishes and chopsticks to wash them.
Eat a bowl of noodles, lock the door and take a nap.
The room is much cooler than outside, so you can sleep by turning on the fan.
Lu Ao slept until after two o'clock. When he got up, he could hear the cicadas chirping louder and louder outside. Apart from the cicadas, there was basically no other sound.
The weather is so hot that most people don't want to go out.
Lu Ao didn't want to either.
He was lying on the bed, rarely staying in bed to play with his mobile phone.
In this kind of weather, you don’t have to get up when you wake up, just lying in bed and playing with your mobile phone is comfortable enough.
He had just played for a while when he received a call from Lin Manzhang, "Lu Ao, are you at home?"
"Here, what's wrong?"
"This morning we went to the next county to catch blue crabs. We caught too many and we couldn't finish them. Let me share some with you." Lin Manzhang said with a smile in his voice, "If you are at home, I will bring them to you."
Lu Ao said hurriedly: "No, Brother Zhang, you can keep it for yourself, I have it here."
"There are two big buckets full, how can we finish them all?"
"Or send it to the town to sell? Isn't the price of blue crabs quite expensive now?"
"It's not much to sell. They are grown in mud ponds. They only cost about ten or twenty yuan per catty. If you sell them all and deduct the tax, you will get more than a hundred. It's better not to put in the effort."
Yes." Lin Manzhang didn't wait for him to refuse again, "I'll come over when you're at home."
Lu Ao could only say: "Okay, thank you, Brother Zhang."
Lu Ao got up and got dressed.
Before five minutes had passed, the sound of Lin Manzhang's motorcycle rang outside the yard.
Lu Ao opened the courtyard door and went out, and saw Lin Manzhang tied the bucket to the back seat of the motorcycle, with his feet on the ground, and was about to get off.
"Brother Zhang." Lu Ao called out and went over to take a look.
Lin Manzhang turned to see him and said, "I just heard that you were back in the morning. I should have known that I would ask you to catch blue crabs together."
Lu Ao was curious, "Where did you catch blue crabs?"
"In my friend's village. There is a wild pond in their village. No one has touched it in more than ten years. We happened to be free now, so we used a water pump to pump out the water." Lin Manzhang got out of the car and loosened the rubber band straps and took down the bucket.
, said: "There are no other fish in the pond, except blue crabs. Each of us caught three or four buckets."
"Is there a pond that no one wants?"
"It's not that no one wants them." Lin Manzhang explained: "Some ponds were originally collectively owned, but then no one took care of them, and they gradually turned into wild ponds."
Lu Ao somewhat understood.
Lin Manzhang handed him the bucket, "How is your ship?"
"I'm preparing to take a photo, but I don't know if I can get it."
Lin Manzhang said seasonedly: "Generally no one will bid for this kind of boat. If someone does, there is no need to wait until now."
"I hope so." Lu Ao smiled and took the bucket, "Thank you, Brother Zhang. Please wait a moment and I will empty the bucket for you."
"OK."
Lu Ao carried the bucket back and poured the grass and blue crabs into the big basin.
Green crabs are prone to fighting, so grass must be used to block their sight.
After pouring it into the wooden basin, Lu Ao observed it and covered it with a large wooden board to prevent the blue crabs from escaping.
He came back and handed the bucket to Lin Manzhang. He also put a coconut snail in the crab bucket, closed the lid and took it out, and asked: "Brother Zhang, I plan to take the "Certificate of Competency" exam. Is this difficult?"
Lin Manzhang took the bucket and hung it on the handlebar without noticing the coconut snails inside. He only said: "It's not difficult. Just sign up for a physical examination first and then find a training institution for training. I know the person and will recommend it later."
for you."
Lu Ao originally wanted to ask him this, so he nodded, "Okay."
The two had a conversation, and Lin Manzhang had something to do at home, so he went back first.
Lu Ao returned home and looked at the time. It was not yet three o'clock, and Song Zhou would not be here until around four o'clock.
Lu Ao thought for a moment, then simply picked up the fish protector and went to the seaside where he often fished.
There was no one in that sea all year round. He could go down to the sea to pick up some snails and take a look at his dragon shape.
His home was not too far from the beach, and he arrived at the beach within ten minutes.
With his superior eyesight, he could see that there was no one up, down, left, and right, not to mention people, not even a bird.
Seeing that no one noticed, Lu Ao made full preparations for exercise, took off his clothes and entered the water.
The sea water is much cooler than the land. Lu Ao swam in a shallow place for a while, fully moving his body and adapting to the temperature, before swimming to a place with a depth of six to seven meters.
The sea is very quiet, there is no other sound except the everlasting sound of waves.
When the weather was not so hot, there would still be some seabirds here looking for food. Now the weather is too hot, and even the seabirds have disappeared.
Lu Ao floated on the sea, closing his eyes and concentrating on transforming back into his dragon form.
The moment he thought about it, his heart felt hot, and then the burning sensation spread to all his limbs.
Suddenly, his body became light, Lu Ao opened his eyes, subconsciously moved, and when he turned around to look, he found that he was already in the shape of a dragon.
His dragon form is much larger than when he first started.
At the beginning, he was only about one meter, and even his claws were short and thin, making him look like a lizard.
Now it is visually estimated that it is over three meters tall. Its long body is floating on the sea, and it can even be seen as a bit majestic.
The dark green scales on its body are even more transparent, shining brilliantly in the sunlight.
Lu Ao patted his tail. Unexpectedly, the powerful tail hit the water with a "pop" sound, causing a large splash of water, which poured all over him.
Unexpectedly, his head and face were covered with water.
"???"
How could this tail be accidentally injured?
He was a little overwhelmed by himself, so he came to his senses and moved his tail slightly.
The tail seemed to be equipped with a propeller, but with a slight movement, his body immediately bounced far away.
When he looked back, Lu Ao found that he was about ten meters away from the original place.
Move your tail and jump more than ten meters. This speed is a bit impressive?
Lu Ao became interested and started tossing hard in the sea.
He hadn't used dragon form for a long time and was not used to this appearance. It took him a while to get used to it before he felt better.
It felt very good to transform into a dragon shape. He was jumping around on the sea and had a lot of fun.
When Songzhou arrived, he saw a little dragon rolling back and forth on the sea, having fun.
Lu Ao was much more sensitive when he was in dragon form. He immediately felt someone on the shore and became nervous.
When he turned around again and saw that it was Song Zhou, he instantly relaxed again, changing from a stiff dragon stick to a soft dragon rope.
He swam to the shore and was about to change back to his human form to speak. Unexpectedly, he could speak in his dragon form, "Songzhou?"
The voice the dragon spoke in was still his, just a little more childish.
There was something strange in his heart, but he quickly ignored the strangeness.
He swam to the shore, looked at Songzhou, raised his head and asked, "Is it four o'clock?"
"No, the person under my hand felt your fluctuation. I came over to take a look." Song Zhou knelt down and looked at him with a smile in his eyes, "I thought you were fishing?"
