So what if you flee from famine? Start all over again and live a good life every day

"So many!" After separating from Zhao Dazhuang and the others, Sui He carried two buckets back home.

All the crabs and clams in the bucket were given to Suihe. Xiaoyu and the other kids each got some. It wasn't that they didn't want the clams, but there were too many in the river. They each picked a large leaf and within two minutes they had packed a big bag and took it home.

Don’t think that rural children in ancient times were stupid. In the days of hunger, these small fish and river clams, no matter how small they were, were meat. Taking them home and making soup with them was considered a meat-eating dish.

"Yes, grandma, these were all caught by Dazhuang and his friends." Suihe poured the river clams into a wooden basin and raised them in clean water.

Keep it for two days and wait for it to spit out the sand before eating it

"You caught so many crabs?" Grandma came to the crabs and looked at the crabs in the wooden barrel running around: "Don't Dazhuang and the others want these crabs? They look pretty big."

"They didn't want it. They said they would catch it if they wanted to eat it. They each took a little fish and went back." Sui He scooped a few buckets of water into another wooden basin and poured the crabs into it.

I took out a knife from the kitchen and cleaned the small fish. There were a lot of small fish, not only miscellaneous fish, but also many small crucian carp.

Sui He cleaned the fish one by one. There were so many that grandma came to help. The fish were too small, so she just cut a knife on the belly, squeezed out the internal organs, and then removed the gills.

The two worked all afternoon to clean out the fish and crabs.

Use a knife to slice the fish into two pieces, marinate them with salt and garlic, and save them for later frying into dried fish

Wash the crabs, cut them in half, and set them aside. When the oil in the pan is heated, coat the cuts with flour and throw them into the pan to fry.

The crabs began to change color as soon as they were put into the pot. Sui He took out the fried crabs and put them aside for later use. Frying fish was grandma's forte, so Sui He gave the fish to her. The marinated fish also slowly slid into the pot along the edge of the pot.

There was water on the fish, and when the water came into contact with the oil pan, it made a crackling sound.

When the noise in the pan becomes quiet, carefully turn the fish over. Small fish will not be crispy if they are fried once, so they need to be fried twice over low heat.

Sui He sat next to the stove, picked up two fat little fish, threaded them on a branch, and carefully put the fish into the stove.

Slowly turning the branches, the fish grilled with firewood smelled delicious because it was already marinated. After grilling, Sui He did not sprinkle salt on it. He took it out, blew on it, and then carefully put it into his mouth.

Grandma glanced at Sui He who was stealing food, but didn't care. She just told him to stay away from the pot and be careful of the oil splashing out.

After the crispy fish was fried and served, Suihe added some ginger, garlic and chili peppers, and when the aroma came out, he poured the fried crabs on the side.

Sui He kept stirring the pot with the spatula in his hand, and soon a plate of spicy crabs was ready.

He took the small fish and crabs out of his hand. A bowl of millet porridge was already on the table.

Suihe picked up a small piece of fried fish and ate it with a crunch. Although the river crab was not big, it tasted very good.

Because the crab shells were too hard, grandpa and grandma didn't like them, so the whole plate of crabs went into Suihe's stomach.

After dinner, Sui He changed the water for the river clams. A thin layer of sand had formed at the bottom of the wooden basin. This was all the sand that the river clams had vomited out.

After they spit out the sand, they are delicious whether stir-fried or made into soup. Even if they are simply steamed and served with a little sauce, they are delicious.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. The sweet potatoes and tomato seedlings in the field have grown very tall. The tomato seedlings have begun to bud.

There are quite a lot of flower buds, blooming in clusters.

I asked my grandfather to carve out some bamboo strips a few days ago, and now I can use them.

Sui He and his grandfather carried some bamboo strips and walked to the tomato field. Sui He observed the tomato seedlings, broke off the tall side branches growing under the tomatoes, threw them on the ground to one side, and stepped on the bottom with his feet to press the tomato branches into the soil.

Tomatoes have begun to bloom. In order to ensure adequate supply of nutrients, these side branches that steal nutrients should be removed.

If you are lucky, the tomato branch that is stepped into the soil may grow new roots and become a new plant.

Sui He picked up bamboo sticks and built a rack for tomatoes, and tied hay tightly to the bamboo sticks. The tomato branches were too thin, and if there were too many fruits in the future, they would not be able to bear it and all crawled on the ground, which would easily rot. At this time, human intervention should be made to support it with a rack.

It took two days to finish the work in the field. The peppers next to it also bloomed. The small white flowers were hidden among the leaves.

The sweet potato vines grew very fast. Not only in Suihe's family, but also in other families in the village. Looking around, half of the mountain was densely covered with sweet potato vines.

"Suihe" Aunt Lin walked to the side of the Suihe field with a basket on her shoulder, and when Suihe, the kidnapper, responded,

"I picked some sweet potato tips, you can take some back to eat." Then he grabbed a handful of sweet potatoes from the basket and prepared to put them in Suihe's basket.

"No need, Aunt Lin, I have some at home." Sui He waved his hand quickly

"Don't be polite to me, take it. This is good. There are too many in the field to eat them all." Aunt Lin smiled and put the sweet potato tips into Suihe's basket.

This thing really grows very fast. Other families don't raise two pigs like Suihe's family does, so they can feed the pigs with the poles.

The Suihe family usually only eats the tips. Some of them also like to eat the large leaves with stems below. Even if they are old leaves, they like to peel the stems and stir-fry them. The stems also have a hint of sweetness.

We didn't have pigs or sheep at home, so it was a pity to leave the vegetables to rot in the fields, so we tried to eat all the edible ones. Usually, the leaves grown from one vine were enough for the whole family to have a meal. After they were all eaten, they could still grow. Before we finished eating the leaves on the other side, new leaves would grow on this side.

"Then, aunt, thank you. I'll accept these." It's not that Sui He is polite, but Sui He's family also has these things, and there are quite a lot of them. Sui He likes these, but no matter how much he likes them, he can't bear to eat them every day.

Just like Sichuan's Teng Teng Cai and Shandong's Dou Jue Zi, they are no longer delicious food when the season comes, but a childhood nightmare.

"Don't be polite, I don't have any more. If you want to eat, just let me know and Auntie Lin will make it for you." After saying that, Auntie Lin took the basket and left. Her daughter-in-law had a bad appetite recently and vomited everything she ate. She had to go back as soon as possible to get her something to eat.

"It would be a shame if we couldn't eat all the sweet potato tips. Let's send them to Shopkeeper Li." Sui He was tying the bamboo strips and muttering to himself.

The last time Shopkeeper Li came here, he wanted to eat these sweet potato tips, but they were not available at that time. During this period, the early vegetables planted in the village are ready to eat, and there is no shortage of vegetables in the market. I wonder if Shopkeeper Li still wants these sweet potato tips?

Because of the relationship between Suihe and Manager Li, Tongren Restaurant now not only asks Suihe to deliver tofu, but sometimes also gives priority to purchasing vegetables needed daily from Qingshan Village.

Several vegetable growers in the village have signed contracts with Tongren Restaurant, and the fresh vegetables they grow can be delivered directly to them.
