Time Travel: A Fisherwoman Goes to the Sea to Raise a Baby

The fried oysters made by Xu Yiyi are delicious. Since the first day of setting up the stall, business has never stopped and she has accumulated many loyal customers.

Seeing her take out utensils that were different from those used to make pancakes in the morning, many people came over out of curiosity.

"What delicious food is this?"

……

"Hey! You know it's delicious even though you haven't even tasted it?"

Two men stood by and watched. It was dinner time.

It happened that there was no water at home and they were too lazy to cook, so the two of them made an appointment to go out for a meal.

When passing by the dock, I saw Xu Yiyi busy at work.

"No... what on earth are you going to cook with this iron plate?"

"Fried tofu, prawns and crabs, grilled fish of all kinds, fried rice noodles and noodles. I can make anything you find in the sea. Oh, and porridge too."

Xu Yi nodded his chin slightly and looked at Er'er who was holding a shallow pottery jar.

There was cooked rice in a wooden barrel next to it.

"What's the porridge made of?"

"You can order anything you want, shrimp, crab, oysters, etc."

Er'er originally thought that the porridge might not be sold, but she never expected that the two men would sit down directly and order a can of porridge.

Add oil to the ceramic pot, put in thinly chopped ginger, take out the fresh shrimps from the bucket and cut off the shrimp heads, stir-fry the ginger and shrimp heads, and add water directly after the shrimp oil comes out.

When the water boils, take out the shrimp heads and shredded ginger, scoop out the rice from the wooden barrel and add it into the ceramic pot. After it boils, add a large spoonful of sauce from the side.

This is the peanut butter that Xu Yiyi pounded at home all day.

Then I fried a salted duck egg, added various seafood, and seasoned it with a little salt and sprinkled pepper before serving.

It looks like a simple can of seafood porridge, but it tastes completely different when you put it in your mouth.

The porridge base is thick and smooth.

Compared to what they had eaten before, this was much more delicious.

I guess it's a seasoning issue.

"Not to mention, it's quite delicious."

Sitting on the dock, feeling the sea breeze and eating piping hot seafood porridge, the sunset glow in the sky is about to set, a patch of pink, which makes me feel comfortable from time to time.

"This young lady has good skills and is generous with her ingredients. She's just a little cold-tempered, but that doesn't affect her good business at all."

Xu Yiyi has a cold personality, but Sihai is not cold.

Seeing the elder sister light the fire, I couldn't wait to start shouting.

Xu Yiyi took a clean cloth and wiped the iron plate several times, making it look shiny.

The man sitting next to him spoke again.

"He also likes cleanliness. Whenever he pushes a pile of firewood, he will wash it with water and wipe it clean before he is willing to continue."

These words were carried by the sea breeze to the stall of the lady selling fried oysters not far away, causing her to quickly put down her hand that was picking her nose.

She glanced down and wiped it on her apron in an attempt to cover up her mistake.

The sea breeze was blowing, making Xu Yiyi's lantern swing back and forth. Under the light, the Xu siblings were busy, and it looked very down-to-earth.

Sanchuan was very patient. He sat at a table on the stall and used a small spoon to dig out the crab roe bit by bit.

With Wu Yuan's small cradle placed at his feet, Xu Yiyi was sure that this was a little foodie.

The small clay stove and frying pan used for setting up the stall in the morning also had to be put to rest. Xu Yiyi put hot oil on them and poured the bowl of crab roe that Sanchuan had scooped into them.

As the temperature rises, the pot begins to sizzle.

The orange-yellow crab roe gradually melts in the hot oil, releasing a rich and mellow aroma.

For a moment, the dock was filled with this overbearing fragrance.

After the crab paste is melted, add the crab meat.

Simmering over low heat, the crab oil in the pot gradually turns golden and translucent.

Xu Yiyi took out the noodles that had been rolled out long ago from the wooden barrel and put them into the clay pot of boiling water nearby.

The noodles rolled in the water like floating ribbons.

After a while, it was fished out, drained, oil was heated on the iron plate, noodles were placed on it, and the boiled crab oil was poured on it. Xu Yiyi stir-fried it quickly.

During the process, various seasonings are added continuously, and finally chopped green onions are used as garnish.

The golden crab roe evenly wrapped each noodle. Xu Yiyi put it on a plate and brought it to Xu Anyang.

"What are you doing? You're here for business, why are you busy making food for me first?"

Xu Anyang felt a little embarrassed, and his stomach started to growl at this moment.

If he had known this would happen, he should have gone back to eat before coming over. It seemed like he wasn't here to help with the work, but rather to get a free meal.

"Stop talking nonsense and come to work after you've eaten."

Xu Yiyi and Xu Anyang have a good relationship. When the two of them fell into the water during their first outing to sea, it was Xu Yiyi who rescued him.

Because of this incident, Xu Anyang often came to see her.

All words were spoken without any politeness.

After hearing what Xu Yiyi said, Xu Anyang stopped being pretentious.

He pulled out chopsticks from the bamboo tube, picked up some noodles and slowly put them into his mouth. The smoothness of the noodles and the richness of the crab roe intertwined together made him speechless.

The man who ordered porridge at first smelled the aroma and instantly became greedy.

I lit it again immediately.

Xu Yiyi was busy frying noodles while arranging the tofu neatly on the table and placing the palm-sized squid next to it, and then added a spoonful of oil.

The iron plate was sizzling, and Xu Yiyi moved quickly, smearing the sauce all over it.

The smell instantly attracted many people.

At this time, the sky began to darken, and smoke rose from the iron plate.

Xu Yiyi took out his special chili oil, which makes people unable to stop eating just a little bit.

Perhaps knowing that Xu Yiyi was not selling cheaply, many people looked at her for a long time and then quietly left the crowd.

Xu Anyang was afraid that he would take up the seat, so he finished the crab oil fried noodles in a few mouthfuls and prepared to act as a servant to deliver food.

The squid changed color slightly, and Xu Yiyi reached into the basket and took out a handful of onion pieces and sprinkled them on it, making the aroma even stronger.

He dipped the brush contributed by Sanchuan in chili oil and smeared it on. When Mr. Xiang, who was strolling around the dock, saw this, he wanted to come forward and shake Xu Yiyi's head to see if he had water in his brain because he had gone into the water too much.

It's really a waste of a writing pen to use it to apply seasoning.

Sprinkle a handful of chopped green onions before serving, and cut the squid into small pieces with a spatula and place on a plate.

She looked up and saw that the people around her quickly took up the empty seat next to her.

The two people who came first were secretly delighted.

"I told you, her cooking skills are pretty good. Look how long it's been, and the stall is already full of people."

……

Another person sitting next to the man didn't bother to pay attention to what he said. He just watched Xu Yiyi handing the squids to Xu Anyang one by one. The squids on the iron plate became less and less, and he felt unhappy.

"I still want to eat."

……

"What do you say?"

"I want to eat more. That squid looks delicious, and the tofu next to it is golden and crispy. It will definitely burst with juice when you take a bite."

As he spoke, he swallowed his saliva.

"We just had a whole pot of porridge and a plate of fried noodles, right? Are you sure you can still eat more?"

The man looked at his friend's belly curiously, but couldn't make out anything special.

My friend just nodded.

The man stood up resignedly and asked for a plate.

My eyes widened as soon as I took a bite.

"What kind of sauce did you add, young lady?"

Looking at the man shouting, Xu Yiyi was a little confused.

Could it be that the chili oil is too spicy and these people can't stand it because they have never tasted it before?

"Are you not used to it? I can change it to something less spicy."

Xu Yiyi signaled Xu Anyang to go over and get the squid back.

But the man quickly stretched out his arms to protect her. "I didn't say I wanted to change it. It's really spicy and has a wonderful taste. It choked me when I first put it in my mouth, but the more I chew it, the more delicious it becomes."

The man was shouting, but he was not asking for Xu Yiyi's answer. After all, most cooks have their own secret recipes.

But he never expected that he was praising the dish so much that he didn't notice that his friend had almost finished the whole dish of squid.

Xu Anyang reminded him later.

"Boss, it would be great if you had some wine. This dish tastes better with wine."

The owner of the winery took his son out for a walk. Business was bad recently and he was too lazy to open the shop.

But I never expected to hear these words when I walked to Xu Yiyi's stall.

He immediately sent his son back and carried the wine out to sell.

This winery used to have pretty good business in the town, but after it changed owners, the wine it brewed is not as good as before.

Gradually, the business declined, and some old customers were not used to the drink and turned to other places.

Xu Anyang looked at the owner of the winery, who was flitting around several tables like a butterfly.

Even though his wine is not good, many people still buy it.

Xu Yiyi took out several small clay pots, put onions on them, poured in shrimps, crabs, clams, oysters, and small squids, and added chili peppers and minced garlic as if they were free, and then added a spoonful of soybean paste.

Simmer slowly over high heat. If you don’t have tin foil, a clay pot will also work.
