Chapter 296 Warm Seafood Porridge
Chapter 296 Warm Seafood Porridge
Shen Wantang didn't stand on ceremony and sat down on the sofa to start drinking milk tea. Anyway, the pot was already cooking, so there was no need to do anything else.
Two minutes later: "Ji Yushi, put the vegetable leaves down!"
Two minutes later: "It's done! Turn off the heat!"
Shen Wantang looked at her phone, which displayed many messages of blessing and monetary gifts sent to her wedding, as well as many people who couldn't attend.
She accepted them all and replied with a thank you.
"Wife, here you are, be careful it's hot." Ji Yushi brought up two small iron basins, the one with the two crabs was Shen Wantang's.
"Okay." Shen Wantang put down her phone and looked at the noodles: "It smells so good!"
"Eat it while it's hot." Ji Yushi nodded.
This was dinner for the two of us. We didn't go out after dinner because we were really tired from swimming.
They got up very early the next morning.
This time I didn't go to the beach. I wanted to experience the city itself. Since it's by the sea, the market must be very crowded in the morning to buy fresh seafood!
Arriving at the harbor, you'll find vendors hawking their wares, and all along the way, you'll find all sorts of delicious food.
Shen Wantang curiously approached a stall.
The stall owner was a kind-looking middle-aged woman, skillfully sorting various shellfish. "Auntie, what is this? It looks so strange," Shen Wantang asked, pointing to a sea creature with a spiral-shaped shell.
The woman smiled and said, "Young lady, these are cat's eye snails, they're very fresh."
At this moment, Ji Yushi tugged at Shen Wantang's sleeve, gesturing for her to watch the street performance.
It turned out to be a simple song and dance spontaneously organized by a group of fishermen to celebrate today's harvest. They were dressed in brightly colored clothes, dancing joyfully, their faces beaming with simple smiles.
Shen Wantang watched intently, infected by this pure joy.
"Miss, buy some seafood porridge! A bowl of seafood porridge in the morning is so comforting!" The old lady's shout brought Shen Wantang back to her senses.
She smiled and waved her hand at the older woman, saying, "Never mind, we have nowhere to do it, and we don't know how to handle it."
"We have special processing services here. You can buy it and pay a processing fee of twenty yuan. It's very delicious," the woman continued.
Shen Wantang looked at Ji Yu and said, "I'm a little tempted, since we haven't had breakfast yet."
"Then let's buy some. Whatever makes the best porridge, that's what we'll get." Ji Yushi held her hand tightly. If she wanted to try it, then let her try it.
The woman smiled and said, "Alright! I'll make a portion for the two of you, not too much, just enough for the two of you."
Shen Wantang nodded, surprised that the old lady was quite conscientious, at least she didn't force anyone to buy or sell.
"Okay, that'll be 120 yuan in total." The woman handed them the seafood.
After Ji Yushi paid, the old lady said, "Up ahead, under that blue shed, all the way up there are processing plants. See which one you want to go to."
"Thank you, ma'am." Shen Wantang and the others left with the seafood, heading into the crowd.
Suddenly, a little girl squeezed through the crowd, holding a string of seashell bracelets, ran up to Shen Wantang, and said in a childish voice, "Sister, you are so pretty, this is for you."
Shen Wantang accepted it with delight, thanking her repeatedly, "Thank you, little darling, did you make this yourself?"
The little girl nodded: "My house is just up ahead. My mom and dad make delicious seafood porridge."
"Can you take us there?" Shen Wantang's eyes lit up.
It doesn't matter where you eat, this little girl is just so well-behaved.
“Okay!” The little girl walked happily ahead, with Shen Wantang and Ji Yushi following closely behind her.
Shen Wantang put the bracelet on her wrist and made a surprising discovery: some of the seashells shimmered with a captivating luster in the sunlight.
They arrived at the little girl's house quickly. Her parents were busy and exclaimed when they saw her return, "Nini, where have you been! Didn't I tell you not to run around? Be careful someone doesn't kidnap you!"
"Mom, this pretty lady wants seafood porridge!" Nini looked up at her mother happily.
Nini's mother then realized that there were actually two other people following behind.
"Do you need any processing?" Nini's mother asked with a smile.
Ji Yushi nodded: "Yes, thank you for your help."
"No trouble at all, this is what we do. Please find a place to sit!" After saying that, Nini's mother went to prepare the seafood.
Nini kept following Shen Wantang: "Sister, will I be as pretty as you when I grow up?"
"Of course, Nini." Shen Wantang looked at the child; she was so adorable!
But kids are creatures that... are probably more fun to play with than other people's.
My own... is so hard to manage!
"Sister, you're so pretty! I want to be as pretty as you in the future!" Nini grinned.
"Alright, Nini, don't disturb the guests!" Nini's mother quickly brought up a pot of seafood porridge, and then she took Nini away.
Ji Yushi thoughtfully served her a bowl of porridge and looked at her, saying, "I don't know if Nini will be very pretty when she grows up, but I know that our child will definitely be beautiful when she grows up."
"Haha, really?" Shen Wantang grinned, amused by his words, and to be honest, she was somewhat looking forward to it.
"Of course! Whether she takes after her father or her mother, she's stunningly beautiful." Ji Yushi said, sounding a bit smug.
"Eat up!" Shen Wantang handed him the spoon, silently agreeing with him in her heart.
After finishing a pot of seafood congee, I felt warm all over.
After paying, they said goodbye to Nini and left.
Afterwards, they continued to wander through this vibrant city, experiencing every unique local custom and culture, as if they wanted to imprint all the beauty of this place in their hearts.
Until noon: "I'm tired, let's take a taxi back!"
"Okay, where does my wife want to go next?" Ji Yushi took out his phone and called a car.
"What about you? I'm fine with anything," Shen Wantang asked him.
She's always just followed her around; she doesn't even know where Ji Yushi likes to go!
"I don't have any particular place I want to go. As long as my wife is with me, I'm fine with going anywhere!" Ji Yushi said after thinking for a moment, mainly because he had been to quite a few places.
I've seen everything I was supposed to see and experienced everything I was supposed to experience.
"I don't have any either. Should we go back first?" Shen Wantang thought for a moment, then decided to go back and check.
I received two transfers from Si Nian yesterday.
The first time it was five million; he said it was Wolf Uncle who asked him to help transfer it.
The second amount was three million, which he said was raised by his brothers together, representing everyone's goodwill.
Shen Wantang thanked him sincerely, but then she suddenly thought of Uncle Wolf's health condition. So much time had passed, was it not good?
I want to go back and visit him, and bring him some wedding candy while I'm at it.
"What's wrong? Is something the matter?" Ji Yushi asked when he saw her lost in thought.
