After resting for about half an hour, Zhang Ran and his mother picked up the hoe again and began to weed in the field.

The weeds of more than two acres of land are only a workload of less than a day for Zhang Ran’s family of three. Therefore, although Zhang Ran and the other two took a few breaks in the middle, it did not affect the progress of weeding.

Before the sun set, Zhang Ran's family finished the work in the field early. After a brief tidy up, they poured out the weeds left in the basket. They went to the river, collected the fish cage, and brought the newly caught fish with them today. Zhang Ran's family returned from the river.

It was still early after arriving at home. While it was still dark, Zhang Ran drew a wooden bucket of water in the well at the entrance of the village. After picking it up, he used clean water to rinse the fish he caught today and rinse it clean.

Then, I picked out all the crabs and shrimps that were accidentally harvested in the fish cage in the past two days. After counting, Zhang Ran found that there were five crabs of different sizes, and each one was larger than a fist. As for the number of shrimps, there were more than ten. They were just a little small...

Wash the crabs with small brushes made of sorghum ears, then pick out the shrimp threads and wash them, put them on the steamer grate (the steamer, steamed cooking utensils in the Han Dynasty, are mostly made of ceramic or copper and iron, in an inverted trapezoidal shape, and layers of grates of different sizes can be placed inside, and steamed on them can be placed on the grate), and some green onion segments are put into it, and then boil water on the high heat.

It takes at least twenty or thirty minutes to cook. During this period, Zhang Ran put some firewood in another fire pit to light it, set up the grill, and prepare to start grilling fish...

The fish that had been grilled for two days in a row, grilled fish was a very easy task for Zhang Ran. Put salt on, put the fish kebabs on the grill, and grill them evenly and cook them through little by little...

When the fish were grilled, the crabs steamed by Zhang Ran were almost cooked. Zhang Ran walked to the cauldron with the steamer, lifted the wooden cover, and looked at it and found that the crabs inside had turned red and seemed to be cooked.

So he used chopsticks to pick up the steamed crabs and shrimps inside and put them in a pottery bowl.

Five crabs and more than a dozen shrimps were filled with two large bowls. Zhang Ran brought the bowl to Zhang Li and his sister Zhang Sui'er, and said to the two: "Mother, Sui'er, the crabs are steamed, do you want to try them?"

Zhang Li shook his head and said, "You'd better eat it yourself, I'll just eat fish."

As he said that, he took down the large skewer of grilled fish from Zhang Ran, used chopsticks to pick up a few pieces of fish and put them in a pottery bowl, picked up one piece and took a small bite.

Seeing this, Zhang Ran turned around and asked his sister Zhang Sui'er next to him: "Sui'er, what about you? Do you eat it? Are crabs delicious?"

"I don't want it..."

Zhang Sui'er stuck out her tongue, made a face at Zhang Ran, turned around and ran to her mother, took the most of the string left in her hand, and without using the dishes, she bit it directly "ahwu" and bit it...

Seeing that neither of them wanted to eat, Zhang Ran shrugged and said, "Since you don't eat, then I'll eat it myself!"

After saying that, Zhang Ran found a wooden pier and sat down, put two bowls on the ground, took out a steamed crab from one of them, pulled off a crab claw, and took a bite.

After the crab claws were bitten open, the crystal white crab meat inside was exposed... Open your mouth and gently sucked the fresh and tender crab meat and soup were sucked into your mouth...

Although the crab claws don’t have much meat, they taste extremely delicious and are definitely an excellent choice for appetizing.

Zhang Ran finished eating the crab claws in two or three bites, threw the crab shell into the fire, pulled off another crab claw, and slowly tasted it...

Since he enjoyed this delicacy alone and no one scrambled for it, Zhang Ran was very slow and meticulous in eating crabs. Not only did he eat all the meat in the crab claws, but he even sucked out the juice from the crab claws, without wasting any waste.

After eating the crab claws, Zhang Ran started eating the crab body again. He first opened the round lid on the crab body and threw it away, then slapped it hard, dividing the crab body in half...

The meat on the crab body is also white. Although it doesn't look as delicate as the meat in the crab claws, it is more plump and more weighty. When people see it, they can't help but move their index fingers...

Zhang Ran took a light bite of the crab meat and immediately found that the crab meat was fat but not greasy, and it was extremely delicious. It was far more delicious and delicious than grilled fish...

The crabs Zhang Ran caught were not very big, but they didn’t have much meat. Although Zhang Ran ate slowly, he still finished one quickly...

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ran picked up the second crab, pulled off a crab claw, bit it open with a "click" and put it next to his mouth...

"Si Liu~"

"Hmm?" Zhang Ran's hand suddenly paused, and he couldn't help but take away the crab claws that had just put them beside him. He looked down and found that the crab meat was still not moving as it was. He said in confusion: "It's still there..."

"Sigh~"

The sound rang again, Zhang Ran suddenly turned his head and looked in the sound. He suddenly realized that just a little less than two meters away from him, his sister Zhang Sui'er was quietly swallowing her saliva and staring at him...the crab in her hand.

As his eyes met, Sui'er's little face turned red like a fire, and he quickly lowered his head and whispered uneasy: "I didn't (see)... it's not me..."

"Uh" Zhang Ran looked down at the crab in his hand, looked up at his sister Sui'er, who was almost blushing with her ears, and couldn't help but sigh.

Then, Zhang Ran threw the crab in his hand back into the bowl, then reached out and picked up the untouched crab beside him, walked to his sister, and handed it to her, "Hey... give it to you! Try it!"

"..." Zhang Sui'er raised her head and looked at the two red steamed crabs in the bowl. She suddenly felt very entangled. She didn't know if she should pick it up or not...

"Hold it..." Zhang Ran reached out and stuffed the bowl into his sister's hand, and smiled and said, "If you want to eat, say, there is no need to be embarrassed. I, as a brother, would you still laugh at my sister... Eat quickly, it will be not delicious if it is cold..."

"Yes!" Zhang Sui'er nodded with it, reached out to grab a crab, and was about to chew...

"Wait! I'm going to remove the shell!" Zhang Ran snatched the crab in Zhang Suier's hand, broke it hard, broke the crab in half, handed it to his sister, and instructed: "The crab's shell cannot be eaten, you have to break it apart to eat the meat inside. Now, it's OK, you can try it..."

"Yeah!" Sui'er reached out to take the crab, and couldn't wait to take the tender crab meat inside, and whimpered, "Woo~, it smells so good..."

After taking a small bite, Zhang Sui'er quickly raised her head and smiled sweetly at Zhang Ran, "Thank you brother... the crab is so delicious..."
