In the book, I was fed by my sister

Near noon, the sunlight shines through the gaps in the eaves, casting patches of light on the wooden basin.

In the basin, the shallow water was swaying gently, and there were six crabs in it.

These crabs were no longer as ferocious as they were in the morning. Now they were spitting white bubbles from their mouths and looked like they were dying. Song Ran tried to touch the crab's eyes, but they shrank back very slowly.

"Oh, I'm afraid he's going to die soon." Song Ran frowned and said worriedly, "I can't wait for Grandma Gu to come back for dinner in the evening."

Dead crabs cannot be eaten, especially in hot weather, as eating them will most likely cause diarrhea.

I'm afraid these crabs won't survive until the evening.

"Xiaoguai, let's eat crabs for lunch!" Song Ran turned around and said to Song Li.

Song Li stood on tiptoe, curiously looking at the half-dead crab in the wooden basin. She sniffed carefully and seemed to smell a hint of fishy odor. Crabs were a strange existence to her.

"Sister, what does crab taste like? How do you eat it?" Song Li thought about it and realized that her sister had never told her about crab dishes in her bedtime stories.

"Oh, I haven't made it either," Song Ran said, but after eating the spicy crabs made by his father, his hands were covered with juice after eating the crabs, and he had to suck them clean one by one. He also had to pour a bowl of white rice into the remaining juice in the bowl and mix it.

The fragrance is confusing.

Song Ran said, "Our father said that crabs are best steamed in autumn. The crabs have more meat at this time, so let's make them spicy."

Song Li said, "Sister, please put less spicy food. My tongue was almost burnt by the spiciness yesterday."

"Haha, okay!" Song Ran responded with a smile.

This was also Song Ran’s first time cooking crabs. Although the crabs were almost dead, he was still afraid of being pinched by their big claws.

She first used a knife to remove the large claws, and then began to carefully clean the crab body with a brush.

Use the crab claws to tap the crab, remove the back cover and gills, and finally divide the crab into four parts.

"Little sweetheart, help me pick two green onions. Then look for what vegetarian dishes you want to eat for lunch and pick them yourself."

Song Li received the order and went into the small vegetable garden.

Now that the small vegetable garden is so rich, she doesn’t know what to choose.

The cold-mixed purslane tastes good, but I think it's more suitable to be eaten with porridge.

I just ate cucumber this morning, so I’ll skip it.

Finally, she stood between the eggplant and the water melon and reached out her hand toward the water melon.

Song Ran took out the booklet left by his father and read the stir-fried crab dish from beginning to end. Only after he had a clear idea of ​​how to make it did he start to heat the oil and fry the crab.

She coated the cut crabs with a thin layer of flour and fried them in boiling oil until golden brown.

"Sister, are these green onions enough?" Song Li held a handful of washed green onions in her hand and two tender water chestnuts in her other hand.

"That's enough!" Song Ran took the onion and saw that the mud on it had been washed off. He praised, "Oh, my little darling is getting more and more sensible now. He can wash the vegetables for me. In two years, I'm afraid I'll be able to eat ready-made food."

Song Li scratched her head. Her face turned red at her elder sister's exaggerated way of praising the child.

Song Ran took out the fried crabs and drained the oil, while cutting the side dishes for the fried crabs: a few cornelian berries, chopped green onions, shredded ginger, and sliced ​​garlic.

Add scallion, ginger and other ingredients into the wok and stir-fry until fragrant, then pour in the fried crabs and stir-fry.

Fragrant!

Song Li was standing at the door, unable to move because of the aroma.

The two wild cats were just as greedy as Song Li and jumped onto the windowsill, staring at Song Ran motionlessly.

Song Ran finally added a little soy sauce for color and sugar for flavor. Green onions were thrown in to stimulate the final aroma.

"Come and serve the food, be careful."

Song Li carefully picked up the fried crab and walked towards the small wooden table.

The two wild cats followed closely and rubbed their bodies against Song Li.

"Go away, I won't give it to you."

Song Li found a bamboo cover to quickly cover the crabs, then ran to get some food.

When Song Ran brought the fried water chestnuts over, she saw Song Li holding the two cats with her left and right hands.

The two cats kept meowing under Song Li's arms.

"Sister! Come quickly, they are about to jump onto the table!"

"Hahaha!" Song Ran laughed so hard that she couldn't stop. She had never seen her little Mu Tou so anxious.

When Li Zi came to play with Song Li, Song Li was struggling to put in the last mouthful of rice mixed with crab sauce.

"Sister Ranran, I'm here to play with Song Li!"

"She is still eating. Please go into the house and wait for a while." After Song Ran invited Li Zi into the yard, he went into the inner room to find some candy for Li Zi.

Li Zi sat obediently beside Song Li, staring at her bowl of rice, as if he could see some delicious food in it.

Song Li could hardly help noticing Li Zi's gaze and asked, "Haven't you eaten it before?"

Li Zi shook her head and nodded, and replied, "Yes, I have, a long time ago." But there were too many people in her family, so she could only get a little bit every time they ate crabs.

Song Li touched her bulging belly and said, "Did you give us all? I thought you only gave us part of it."

Li Zi nodded: "It's not easy to catch crabs, and Dad is very busy."

Song Li looked at Li Zi's pitiful appearance and was too lazy to show mercy. She said, "I'll save some delicious food for you next time."

Li Zi's eyes sparkled, "Really! You are so nice." As he said that, Li Zi happily moved closer to Song Li.

Song Li pushed her away with her hand and said with a smile: "So please get out of my house quickly today."

Li Zi pouted: "Why? No! No!"

At this time, Song Ran came out with a handful of peanut candies.

Li Zi immediately turned around and complained: "Sister Ranran, Song Li won't play with me!"

Song Li was stunned by this sudden complaint.

Song Ran asked: "What's going on? Are there any conflicts?"

Song Li quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no."

It turns out that you can't afford to offend children.

Li Zi said aggrievedly: "Then why don't you go out with me?"

Song Li hadn't thought of an excuse yet, and when she was suddenly asked, she stammered and explained, "Because... because I want to help my sister dig a ditch!"

"It's too hot in the afternoon, so we can just dig in the morning." Song Ran said, "You guys go out and play."

"Sister! You must need me for other things! For example... I can help you wash the dishes!"

Song Ran said, "Oh, it only took me a short while to clean up the two bowls. Go out and play, but remember to come home for dinner. Li Zi, don't stand in the sun like Song Li did."

Song Li finally went out reluctantly and followed Li Zi.

She scattered grass seeds as she walked, and these grass seeds formed a line between her and the yard. If something like last time happened again, she would be able to rush home as soon as possible.

Song Li was concentrating on arranging the bond between her and the courtyard.

Li Zi saw this focused look and thought Song Li was unhappy to go out with her. She tried to stop Song Li's arm, but Song Li didn't respond. She angrily shook her arm off and rushed forward.

After running a few steps, he saw that Song Li had not caught up with him, so he returned to Song Li angrily.

"I don't like you at all."

Song Li came back to her senses and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Humph, I won't talk to you."

Li Zi hummed a few words, but Song Li was busy with her own things and had no time to pay attention to Li Zi.

Just like that, Li Zi went to Da Mai's house with the small oil bottle hanging from his mouth.
