Chapter 264 Grilled Crab
Seeing that all the baskets in his house were used up, Mr. Gu shouted to the people in the water, "Okay, it's getting late, go back and prepare food. Come back and catch fish when you have time."
Gu Fu also agreed with Grandpa and said, "Grandpa is right. Now is not the best time to eat crabs. Female crabs have the most roe in September, and male crabs have the most roe in October. We can catch them then."
When everyone heard the two most influential people in the house speak, they stopped catching crabs even though they felt they had not had enough fun.
Wen was the quickest, carrying a basket of crabs and walking ashore, "Dad, let's have grilled fish and grilled crabs for lunch."
"Okay, you decide on the arrangements." Mr. Gu nodded with a smile.
Although now is not the best time to eat crabs, many of the ones they caught were large and had been growing here for many years.
Next, the men in the Gu family got busy. Some killed fish, some collected firewood, some washed crabs, and some washed vegetables. Each of them was busy.
Gu Fu accompanied his grandfather, sitting on the flat stone slabs, basking in the sun and chatting.
The Wen sisters-in-law were responsible for cooking, grilling fish, grilling crabs, and preparing sauces.
Everyone worked together and soon prepared four or five delicious and generous dishes.
Gu Dahe dipped the crab leg meat in the sauce and took a bite. He said with satisfaction, "I was just wondering how to eat this crab, which has a hard shell all over and can pinch people. I didn't expect that the meat inside the shell is so firm and delicious. It's delicious."
"That's right. It's so delicious now. How much more delicious it will be when the crab season comes." Gu Dahai said with anticipation.
"That's not difficult. We can just catch him when the time comes." Gu Dahai suggested.
A few people agreed to come back in September or October, and then they were busy eating delicious food and had no time to talk.
The family enjoyed a delicious lunch and a rare leisure time.
It was not until the light in the forest dimmed that the family picked up their respective trophies and rode on their wolves/tigers/deer towards home.
Passing by Bai Xue's territory, Gu Fu fed a few deer and Bai Xue's spiritual dew as promised, then said goodbye to Bai Xue, got on his horse again and left.
After returning to the valley, Duan Shuhuan naturally let himself take home the prey and crabs he hunted.
"Shuhuan, you should take this pig back with you as well. You have a big family and they can feed them for a long time. Also take a basket of these wild vegetables and mushrooms back so that your grandma and mother can have a taste of them." Grandpa Gu said, pointing to a big wild boar.
After spending some time together, Duan Shuhuan now knows that the Gu family's kindness to him is sincere, and simply refusing would make him seem distant.
Then he thanked him generously: "Thank you, Grandpa. I would like to thank Grandpa Gu and my uncles and aunts on behalf of my grandma and mother."
Keep your gratitude to the Gu family silently in your heart.
When Mr. Gu saw that he accepted it, he nodded with satisfaction.
Daju and Dabai took the prey that belonged to Duan Shuhuan and helped Duan Shuhuan to send them back to Duan's home.
On the Gu family's side, a robot had already been waiting outside the woods. When it saw its owner coming back, it hurried forward to take the prey.
When they returned to the house, the kitchen nanny had already prepared dinner.
After washing their hands and having dinner, everyone gathered together to chat as usual.
Gu Dajiang said, "Dad, should we sell the mung beans we planted?
It is already June outside, and mung beans can be made into mung bean soup, which is a good way to relieve the summer heat."
As soon as Gu Dajiang said this, Mr. Gu knew that his son must want to go out again.
Thinking that there was nothing to do at home right now, he nodded and said, "Okay, then pick a day to sell it."
Mr. Gu thought for a moment and said, "Now there are no rebels outside, and the world is relatively peaceful. You are determined to venture out, and I don't want to stop you. In the future, you can go out of the valley to do business as you need. You don't have to ask for my permission every time. Just say hello when you go out."
"Thank you for your consideration, son. I have made it a habit to ask you for your opinion. I know that you are generous and will definitely agree to my request." Gu Dajiang said happily.
"Dad, I'm going out this time not only for food, but also to build a shopping mall outside the valley."
After listening to his son's words, Mr. Gu thought that with so many shops and a good location, it would be a waste to keep the shop closed and use it as a warehouse.
He nodded and said: "It's time to build it. It's a pity to leave such a good location idle.
But the weather is hot now, so the workers we hire need to take precautions against heatstroke.
Keep an eye on the time when you work every day. Let them work when it’s cool, and take a break when it’s hot. Don’t let anything happen to the people who help you here.”
"Son, you know that I will find a cook to boil some sweet water with mung beans and make some ice every day, and offer it to you continuously every day. The construction will surely proceed smoothly." Gu Dajiang expressed his plan.
Miao said, "My daughter-in-law is willing to go with you and help take care of the food and soup."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Gu nodded: "Okay, then you go and take care of it."
Gu Dahe also spoke up at this time: "Second brother, I have a newly developed patchouli water here, you can take some out. If you encounter someone suffering from heatstroke, you can give them some to drink, it will work immediately."
"Okay, thank you, Third Brother. I'll fill a few bottles for Second Brother later."
"Okay, we're brothers, why be polite?"
Gu Fu quietly came to Gu Dajiang at this time, leaned close to his second uncle's ear and whispered: "Fu'er, help your second uncle transport the supplies."
"Our Fu'er will have to suffer again." Gu Dajiang looked at his little niece and said with heartache.
"Not tired, not tired. Fu'er is willing." Gu Fu said with a smile.
Gu Ji also spoke up at this time: "Second Uncle, I have experience in building schools. I can go out of the valley and help you keep an eye on it."
Gu Dajiang glanced at Gu Dahai and Old Man Gu, and said hesitantly, "Building a house outside the valley is different from building one inside the valley. If you go with them, you won't be able to come back for a while. What about your studies? You're still teaching a class."
"It's okay. I can ask Zhishu to help me with my studies. As for substitute teaching..." Gu Ji looked at Gu Xiang, who nodded at him and said, "Thank you for your hard work recently, second brother."
"Okay, big brother, you can go out of the valley without worry. I'm here in the classroom, nothing will happen. I can also choose an assistant teacher to help me later." Gu Xiang said.
The parents of the Gu family, thinking of the capabilities of their own smart butler, nodded in agreement.
Old Master Gu told Gu Ji, "It's only right for you to go out and see the world. So this time, follow your uncle out of the valley and be responsible for the construction of the shopping center."
"Yes, grandpa. I will definitely work hard and live up to the expectations of my second uncle and grandpa." Gu Ji said seriously.
"I'm confident you can do the job." Old Master Gu nodded to his eldest grandson with satisfaction.
After the family discussed the next plans and arrangements, they went back to rest.
