Years: Return to the Leisurely Fishing Village

Chapter 65: The mouth can coax people! (Please read)
Mr. Tan was ill and the trip to the sea was delayed. He was so anxious that bubbles came out of his mouth. He planned to go out to sea to show off his ability, but was rejected by the whole family. Not only would he suffer physically, but if his condition worsened, it would be troublesome at sea.

But if they don't go out to sea, they will miss out on making money by staying at home. The eldest and second sons are unwilling to accept this. Seeing that they can make money, how can they stay at home?

Tan Shaobei suggested, "Third brother, why don't you go out to sea with us? You're just sitting around doing nothing anyway."

"You also have to learn how to survive at sea!"

"Otherwise, how will we support our family in the future?"

We are all family members, and the eldest or second oldest child certainly cannot exclude him. In rural areas, family harmony is the way to survive in the long run.

After listening to this, Tan's mother also looked forward to seeing him. In a small fishing village, survival depends on this sea. There is nothing better than if the three sons can live in harmony.

"Third brother, your second brother is right. Do you want to consider it?"

Facing everyone's gazes, Tan Shaoyang refused without a second thought, "No, everyone get out. If anything happens, there's no one at home to make decisions."

"I have to keep an eye on Dad at home. He doesn't want to spend money. You know, if I hadn't called the doctor, he would have just endured it!"

"I am still a worry to others at my age. I can't feel at ease even when I go out."

"Just go ahead and get busy. The beams will be up in November. Save some money so you don't have to be short of money when you move into your new house. I won't go with you, so I won't have to trouble you if I know nothing."

"Besides, I still have to buy these swimming crabs! If I keep them any longer, they will die."

"All roads lead to Rome. I'm selling pretty well now. Isn't it the same no matter where I work?"

"I'll sell the goods to you so you don't have to worry about anything. Otherwise, if you run into that guy called Mute Sister's father, you'll be controlled by him in a matter of minutes."

"Don't worry about me, just go and get busy!"

"Especially the eldest and second child, if you want to go out to sea, hurry up. Dad's knee hurts. I think the weather has changed again. I'm afraid a typhoon is coming. When the time comes, there will be strong winds and big waves. The threat we face is too great."

The two brothers did not convince the man, but were convinced by his words. They did not waste any time and immediately prepared everything they needed.

Since he has nothing to do anyway, Tan Shaoyang plans to fry some swimming crabs. This is just a way of being willful. He has some spare money and doesn't want to treat himself badly.

Of course, a pot of seafood porridge is also indispensable, the kind with more seafood than porridge. Seafood is indispensable at the seaside. Even if you have a meal of seafood porridge every day, the fresh taste of seafood can satisfy your appetite.

In addition to these, there are also cold-mixed kelp and water spinach stems. Water spinach is easy to grow, and can be grown in either dry or wet land. Grandma Tan is a person who can't sit still, so she'll plant some whenever there's vacant land, and change her taste when she gets tired of seafood.

When the food was served, the whole family stared at it.

The children were especially supportive, their eyes sparkling, and they did not hide their love for Tan Shaoyang. Nothing was bad when Uncle San cooked.

"Uncle San, can you cook every day? Your cooking is the best."

"I also like the dishes cooked by my Third Uncle. It would be nice if he cooked every day."

Tan Shaoyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry when listening to the innocent words, "If you want to eat, just tell your uncle and he will cook for you."

"Go call grandma and the others over and tell them that Third Uncle is the chef."

The children ran away in a swarm.

I can eat soon. I am very diligent.

Tan's mother came out and looked at the dishes on the table. She was speechless, "You! These swimming crabs are meant to be sold, why did you eat them?" As she spoke, the pain in her eyes was obvious.

Tan Shaoyang took the bowl and picked up half a swimming crab for her. "Mom, try it. The fried swimming crab tastes different. I guarantee you have never eaten it before."

"I brought the swimming crabs to the town. The boss makes his money from this dish. It tastes delicious, and is different from the steamed crabs we usually eat."

"We have to try it ourselves, the basis of making money!"

Mrs. Tan looked at the dishes and chopsticks stuffed in her hands. It was useless to refuse, because Tan Shaoyang had the right idea!
After tasting it, my eyes lit up.

It has an oily and salty aroma and tastes quite delicious. City people really know how to eat!
I've lived by the sea for most of my life, but I've never eaten like this!
The main thing is that this thing has to be fried with oil. The villagers are reluctant to waste oil-intensive things, so they usually steam it and eat it with a little soy sauce.

The sweet taste with the salty taste of soy sauce is irresistible.

It is naturally rare to taste different flavors now.

Tan Shaoyang did not miss the light in her eyes, and asked with a little pride in his tone, "How does it taste? Am I right?"

"You have to make money, but you also have to eat. There are different ways to cook seafood. We rely on this sea for our survival. There is no need to feel bad. Just eat it when you are ready."

"It's just a little bit of money, but it's good to be able to eat to your heart's content."

"There are plenty of them on the beach, don't feel bad."

"Otherwise, when you go out and people ask you what seafood tastes like, you won't be able to describe it. You will only know the light taste of steamed seafood. That would be a waste of living by the sea."

"Next time I get some cuttlefish, I'll cook different food for you. I guarantee you'll be eating so much that you won't be able to stop eating. After this meal, you'll want to eat the next one."

At this time, everyone was present.

The adults sat around the table, and the children sat on small stools beside them. Tan Shaoyang specially filled a bowl for them, enough for them to eat.

Cold kelp salad is a dish that is often eaten, but it has been neglected today. This is mainly because the stems of water spinach are popular among people. The fresh vegetables are tender and refreshing, and are loved by everyone.

Tan Shaoyang looked at everyone's chopsticks dropping non-stop, and praised Grandma Tan, "We can eat water spinach stems, thanks to Grandma's diligence!"

"Our family can't do without grandma!"

"Otherwise, we'll have seafood every day, and we won't even be able to change the taste."

Everybody was talking at once with gratitude, the atmosphere was extremely lively, and Grandma Tan was smiling from ear to ear.

"Don't listen to the Third Brother's nonsense. I just did it casually. I have to grow vegetables and feed pigs anyway. It's just something that comes easily to me."

Tan Shaoyang kept praising her, and every word touched people's hearts. "We should remember her contribution. Grandma planted a yard of vegetables, so we can eat fresh vegetables every day."

"Otherwise, if you eat fish and shrimp every day, you'll get tired of it no matter how delicious it is."

"Grandma did a good job of backup so that everyone can go fishing without worries. It's hard work every day, so how can we not be grateful?"

Otherwise, it is said that Grandma Tan likes Tan Shaoyang!
Just based on his good coaxing skills, it's hard not to like him.

Regardless of gender, age or status, who doesn’t like to be praised?

The person who is praised feels happy and is in a good mood.
