Parental Love: Jiang Weimin's Life of Lying Down

After returning home, Jiang Weimin hurriedly called the Jiang sisters and second brother to come and help.

"Third brother, you went to the sea again today and picked up so many seafood. Are there any sea urchins?"

"Yes, it's in this basket." Jiang Weimin handed the basket over. Jiang Yaning had eaten the sea urchin steamed egg and it was still fresh in his memory. He would eat it every time.

"Great, we can have sea urchin steamed egg again."

Yaning, go check if there are enough eggs. If not, go look for some in the chicken coop. The main problem is that there are too few sea urchin roe. If you don't add eggs, it will be gone in two bites. It's not enough effort.

"Okay, Third Brother, I'll go right away."

"Yafei! Come over and help me. Put the oysters, clams and sea cucumbers in the water. I'll prepare the sea urchins. We'll make sea urchin steamed eggs."

"Alright! Jiang Weimin, you dare to order me around!"

"Do you want to eat?"

"Hmph." Jiang Yafei hummed but still took the seafood.

At this time, mother An Jie also came out of the house and looked at the two baskets of seafood that Jiang Weimin had picked up.

I was both angry and amused. "Why do you like to go to the beach like your aunt now? Look at how dirty you are. Go change into clean clothes."

After saying that, she noticed Jiang Weimin's wet shoes and pants and couldn't help shaking her head.

"Okay, Mom, let me help you cook today!" How about we make some steamed eggs with sea urchin, fried sea cucumber with leeks, and some stir-fried salmon with chili peppers?" Jiang Weimin said excitedly while placing the seafood on the ground.

An Jie was very happy to hear Jiang Weimin volunteer to help with the cooking. "Of course, but you have to perform well! Finally, I can have a good rest for a day."

"Then you can have today off!"

Then he started to process the seafood and prepare other ingredients.

After a while, Jiang Weimin suddenly remembered something and said to his mother, "Mom, I want to use up all the eggs at home, is that okay?"

Anjie was stunned for a moment, but soon agreed with a smile. "No problem, as long as you like it, just use it."

Now it is only in families like the Jiang family. If it were an ordinary family, even if a meal only had a dozen eggs, it would not be so good even during the Chinese New Year.

Looking at Jiang Weimin's busy and happy figure, An Jie's heart was filled with happiness.

Jiang Weimin picked up the scissors and carefully cut a small hole in the sea urchin, carefully observing the situation inside. He slowly cut it open until he saw the entire sea urchin roe, which exuded an attractive luster.

Then, he used a small spoon to gently scoop the sea urchin roe out of the shell and carefully put it aside. The sea urchin shell was preserved for later use.

This is the season when sea urchins are the fattest. Every sea urchin looks exceptionally plump, and you can almost see the bright yellow sea urchin roe.

Jiang Weimin looked at the plump sea urchin roe in his hand with satisfaction, took out some of it and broke it into crumbs. Then, he mixed the sea urchin roe with the egg liquid to make the two blend perfectly.

Finally, he poured the mixed egg liquid into the reserved sea urchin shell and set it aside.

Next, Jiang Weimin began to process the sea cucumber. He first took out a pair of sharp scissors and expertly cut off the parts with thorns at both ends of the sea cucumber.

Then he started to clean it. After cleaning, Jiang Weimin cut the sea cucumber into small pieces and prepared to cook it later.

After Jiang Weimin prepared the ingredients, he began to arrange the tasks in an orderly manner: "Jiang Yafei, go to the cafeteria and get some steamed buns;

"Yaning, go to the vegetable garden and cut some chives, then pick them and wash them clean."

"Second brother, you are responsible for lighting the fire."

During this period, Jiang Weimin has gained some reputation with his paintings, and his brothers' love for food has improved his status in the family. Therefore, everyone is very cooperative with his arrangements.

Just then, Jiang Dehua returned home and saw Jiang Weimin busy directing everyone to cook.

"It seems that my aunt can rest again today. I have to send some seafood to your Uncle Ding and take care of it by the way. You don't have to wait for me to have lunch together at noon!" After saying that, she picked up a basket of seafood and hurriedly left home.

Jiang Weimin looked at his aunt's departing back and shook his head helplessly. He knew that the relationship between his aunt and Lao Ding was still a long way to go and there was still a long way to go before they could finally achieve a happy ending.

As the water boiled, Jiang Weimin put the cleaned sea cucumbers into boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then took them out and rinsed them in cold water and drained them, so that the sea cucumbers would have a better taste. Then he put the sea urchins and oysters into the steamer and steamed them for about 8 minutes.

Jiang Weimin started cooking. He cut the leeks into sections and put them into the pan with fresh sea cucumbers and stir-fried them. Soon the aroma began to emit.

Then Jiang Weimin fried a plate of spicy fried clams and a plate of razor clams.

When Jiang Defu came back from get off work, Jiang Weimin's meal was already prepared and was placed on the dining table waiting for him, the head of the family, to come back and enjoy it.

"Oh, it's all seafood today! Did your aunt go fishing again?" Jiang Defu asked in surprise, looking at the food on the table.

"No, these were picked up by my third brother when he was fishing. My aunt took all the ones she picked up to Uncle Ding's house."

"Hmph," Jiang Defu snorted to express his dissatisfaction with Jiang Dehua.

Jiang Defu picked up a piece of sea cucumber with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. After chewing it carefully, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Mm, delicious, Comrade An Jie, today's dishes are not bad. Comrade An Jie's cooking skills are much better than your aunt's."

Hearing Jiang Defu's compliment, An Jie felt very happy, "Thank you for the compliment, but today's dish is not made by me."

"Dew did it?"

"Didn't I tell you that Dehua went to Old Ding's house?"

"Who did that?"

"Dad, was it my third brother who did this?"

"Oh, really?" Jiang Defu was a little surprised. "I didn't expect you to be such a good cook. But it's still not as good as your mother's."

"Stop flattering me and eat." Anjie came over with a smile on his face, holding the bowl and chopsticks.

Jiang Weimin also smiled embarrassedly, and then remembered the steamed egg with sea urchin in the pot.

"The steamed sea urchin eggs are ready. I'll go get them. I made a lot today. I'll send a few to my aunt later."

"Whether she wants to eat it or not, we still have to send it to her." Jiang Defu felt angry when he thought of Jiang Dehua running around at Lao Ding's house again.

"This is the filial piety of the children. Don't worry about it. This is the meal made by my son himself. You should eat more."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Weimin brought out the steamed sea urchin egg, which was steaming hot and looked fresh and delicious. He then gave two to each person.

Jiang Defu took a bite and found that it tasted more delicious than ordinary steamed eggs, especially fresh, so he asked everyone to eat quickly.

"Yes! Let's eat it quickly! Weimin has used up all the eggs I saved for two weeks. Do you think it can't be delicious?"

"Mom, it's not the eggs that are delicious, it's the steamed eggs with sea urchin that are delicious." Jiang Yafei kept eating and didn't forget to interrupt.

"Hurry up and eat. Even eating can't stop your mouth." Seeing Jiang Yafei refutate him, An Jie pretended to be angry and scolded Jiang Yafei?

"It's delicious, Third Brother. Next time I'll go fishing with you, and we can pick up more sea urchins.

"Okay, we'll pick up more and make some for you then." Jiang Weimin did not object. He was still very interested in going to the beach.

After saying that, Jiang Weimin began to eat with relish. He not only exclaimed that the ocean food was so delicious, but also pure, natural and pollution-free.

After dinner, Jiang Weimin watched Jiang Yaning clear the table and arranged for Jiang Yaning to go to Uncle Ding's house.

"Yaning, take a look and see how many more are left for Auntie."

"Third brother, there are still 6 left. Uncle Ding can have , and Auntie can have each."

"Then you can go and deliver it quickly! It won't taste good if it gets cold. I'll just clean the table."
