CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Memories of summer vacation

1. Memories of summer vacation

Summer vacation has arrived as promised, the small time in midsummer, two months long. The sound of cicadas brings a little comfort, and we are just in our youth at this time. Scattered summer vacation memories, from kindergarten to university, July and August are always like this, with joy, sweat and some regrets. The following is what I have sorted out, welcome to read!

【Summer Vacation in Memory 1】 Accompanied by the summer breeze, I waved my hand gently and said goodbye to the summer vacation. There was a hint of reluctance in my heart.

Standing in the wind, watching the summer vacation go away step by step, large amounts of memories suddenly emerged in my mind.

In July, in this hot month, I rode my bike with Yang and Mao Mao every day. Every time, the scorching sun tortured us mercilessly. Sweat dripped down, but we didn't care; time was wasted, but we never felt bad; when our fair skin turned into a healthy black, we never regretted it. We only cared about everyone's smile. We were only busy collecting happiness. I wanted to fill up my lost memories. So, in July, in this month with a little cool breeze, we played and went crazy together without restraint.

In August, we started to take extra classes, including English, mathematics, and physics.

I would open my painful eyes at 7 o'clock every morning, walk to school half awake and half asleep, and then take extra classes, listening to the teacher scolding us one by one until 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

At night, I thought I could have a good night's sleep, but every time I thought about the above homework, I couldn't sleep again and again. I helplessly repeated this for 28 days and nights, and finally I regained my freedom.

But the summer vacation is about to end, and I am facing the terrible third grade. I sigh helplessly...

I stood in the wind, looking into the distance.

Finally, summer vacation disappeared from my sight...

Postscript: If time could go back, I would still choose to spend my summer vacation like this, because in this summer vacation, I tasted sweetness, sourness, and the taste of lemongrass. I will always remember this taste and this summer vacation.

【Summer vacation in memory 2】 In my childhood memories, I would go to my grandmother's house in the suburban village every summer vacation to live for a while. It was the most cheerful, free, innocent and real childhood life. It was a beautiful small village with pure natural scenery and picturesque scenery. There were long embankments, green rivers and ponds, white clouds under the blue sky, and patches of green rice seedlings swaying in the wind. A clear river ran through every household in the village. This river had snails, river shrimps, various fish, hairy crabs and other aquatic products, which nourished every generation here. Especially for the deliciousness and nostalgia of hairy crabs, I would go to my grandmother's house whenever I had time during holidays. I was scolded by my parents for this. They didn't want me to delay my studies. Later, I was admitted to university and stayed in a foreign land to work hard. I got married and had children, so I rarely returned to the familiar hometown that I missed - Yangcheng Lake Village in Bacheng.

Today, I am filled with a strong feeling of homesickness. The main reason is that the delicious hairy crabs from Yangcheng Lake are now on the market. The greed in my heart forced me to adjust my pace. I asked for annual leave from my company, packed my bags and took my children back to live for a while. The passage of time has changed the appearance of a small village. Hairy crabs have become the pillar industry of the village. Looking at the rows of boats on the lake, all of them are operating delicious hairy crabs, creating a gourmet feast that people all over the country like to eat. My cousin Sun Weizong now also runs a crab boat. He built a boat in Yangcheng Lake with a three-story boathouse on it, which is beautifully named: Yangcheng Lake Hule Crab Boat. Every year, it welcomes diners from all over the country to eat hairy crabs. My cousin had a lot of experience in catching hairy crabs when he was young. There are several ways: you can use a lead wire with a 90-degree hook at one end to hook the hairy crabs out of the crab hole at a point above the water level of the river bank; at night, hold a flashlight and catch them in the cracks of the rocks in the pond ditch, because hairy crabs have the habit of coming out to forage at night; then tie a slightly thicker rope with a thin branch and tie some chicken bones as bait to catch crabs. As soon as the hairy crab bites the bait, the branch in your hand will feel it. Hairy crabs are usually greedy and will not let go easily after biting the bait. At this time, just gently lift the branch and prepare the net bag with the other hand. When you can vaguely see the hairy crabs underwater on the water surface, use the net bag to scoop the hairy crabs, and the hairy crabs will become the bag, and you can enjoy a feast when you go home. The hairy crabs are now artificially cultivated. There are cages set up on the lake surface, and the farmed hairy crabs are underwater. The combination of old traditions and modern breeding technology makes hairy crabs more delicious.

My cousin still takes me to catch crabs. Now we don’t row a boat anymore. We drive a motorboat to the center of the lake and pull up the net cage. Wow, the scene is so spectacular. He takes the net bag and scoops it up without hesitation. One by one, lively hairy crabs are caught. In the sunlight, each hairy crab is shining. The hairy crabs with green backs and white bellies make me very happy. My cousin said that I am still the happy little girl back then. After carefully selecting a big and fat hairy crab for me, my cousin drove the motorboat around the lake and then went back.

The child was so happy to see me bring back the hairy crabs, and just wanted to eat crabs. My cousin smiled and said that he was a little greedy cat like your mother, and immediately washed and tied the crabs and put them in the pot to steam. It was dinner time and the table was full of Yangcheng Lake boat dishes: lake shrimps, fish, and various vegetables, all of which I like to eat. I took a hairy crab and cut it up decisively (ha, so black-bellied). When I opened the crab shell, a fragrance came to my nose. The taste in my memory suddenly came to my mind and made me dazed. I picked up a piece of crab roe with chopsticks and started eating. The child looked at me with a blank face. I picked up a piece of crab roe with chopsticks and gave it to the child. After the little guy ate it, he directly grabbed my food. I picked out the crab heart and lungs that could not be eaten and gave them to the child. The little guy ate it with relish and said it was delicious. The family had a long-lost dinner while talking and laughing.

2. Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs rank first in sales in major cities

Hello! Last year, in 2015, the sales volume of Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs ranked first in Beijing.

3. How to eat Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs?

1 3 hairy crabs weighing about 220 grams, I used 2 garlic heads and a piece of ginger the size of one garlic head. Chop them together. Put them into the oil pan and stir-fry the garlic to remove moisture and fragrance. Take out the ingredients and use this oil to fry the crabs.

2 Use scissors to cut off the crab's claws. Then use a toothbrush to clean the crab inside and out.

3. Scrape off the hair from the claws and smash them. Remove the crab shell. Remove the crab's gills, as well as the dirt and internal organs in the shell.

4 Use scissors to cut the crab in half, as shown in the picture. Coat the cut surface with dry starch.

5. Fry in 80% hot oil until golden brown and 80% cooked. (Use the oil used to fry garlic)

(Extra step: I removed the crab legs so that I can directly pick up the whole piece of meat when eating. Otherwise, my husband would dislike it because it is in the way when he sees it)

6 Leave some oil in the pan, add minced garlic and dried chili peppers. Stir-fry the red chili peppers and then add the crabs and stir-fry.

7 Keep the fire high, add some soy sauce and some sugar. I also added some salt.

8 Keep frying until the garlic is coated with the crab. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and serve.
