I, 57 years old, retired for more than 6 years, did not go out to work after retirement, my wife is still working, today at noon and my wife at home to drink beer, eat lobster, and in the afternoon went to see the flowers, very comfortable.
Today is May 4th, the small long holiday has passed more than half, these days my wife and I are eating and drinking at home, and we haven't gone out to play, mainly because there are people everywhere on May Day, I don't want to join in this excitement, or comfortable at home.
When I first retired, I often went out to travel, all with my classmates and friends, and played some places, but then my interest gradually became low. I feel tired, it's not interesting, to a scenic spot is to take pictures, check in, and then post to Moments.
My wife will retire in 3 years, and when my wife retires, I will travel with my wife, walk slowly, look slowly, go to some classic, worthwhile places to play, and travel once or twice a year.
Others go to travel on May Day, see the great rivers and mountains, and feast their eyes, so we will cook delicious food at home and feast our mouths.
(I bought 2 catties of crayfish today)
After breakfast today, I went grocery shopping, bought some crayfish today, burned a garlic crayfish at noon today, and drank some beer, it was beautiful to think about.
It's May Day, and many people who work outside have come back for the holidays, and there are a lot of people in the vegetable market these days, and there are many people who buy crayfish today.
We have crayfish here, the small one is 10 yuan a catty, the big one is 20 yuan a catty, the small one is too small, I bought a 2 pound of lobster, otherwise it will cost 40 yuan just to eat the shell.
I bought peas and cucumbers again, and 10 salted duck eggs.
When you get home, put some salt, soak the crayfish in water, and then slowly brush them one by one with a toothbrush, the crayfish are very dirty, be sure to wash them.
After washing, cut the shrimp head of the crayfish, except for the shrimp yellow, the shrimp brain is not wanted, and then remove the shrimp line, blanch the water, I blanched for 2 minutes.
(Eat lobster, drink beer)
The pot is hot, pour in the green onions, ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, I am burning garlic shrimp today, put more garlic, pour in the crayfish, stir-fry for a while, put in cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, salt, and then pour in beer, boil over high heat, turn to medium-low heat and cook for 15 minutes, when the pot starts, pour in a little garlic, pour it with hot oil, and you can eat.
I cooked 4 dishes at noon today, garlic crayfish, cold cucumber, salted duck eggs, and boiled pea pods.
Beer and crayfish are standard, and my wife drank beer, eating crayfish, very comfortable, today at noon, and my wife drank 4 cans of beer.
The fireworks in the world are the most soothing to the hearts of mortals, and there are many kinds of happiness, which is also a kind of happiness.
We didn't go out for the past two days, my wife said, let's go out in the afternoon and see the flowers.
(Red hydrangea)
Not far from our house there is a flower world with many flowers, mainly hydrangeas and moon flowers. When I came to the Botanical Garden, I didn't expect that there were so many tourists, and many police officers were maintaining order.
People often say that "the world is full of fragrant flowers in April", it is May, it is the time when the hydrangeas bloom, one by one, clusters, red, blue, purple, white, swaying with the wind, so beautiful, I can't imagine that there is such a beautiful place at the door of the house.
My wife and I walked and photographed, and in addition to the hydrangeas that were as big as the flowers, there were also colorful moon flowers, which were so beautiful.
(Yellow hydrangea)
Stop and go, walk to a cluster of moon flowers, think it is a "fake flower", carefully touch it with your hand, it is true, this is too beautiful, beautiful I can't believe my eyes.
It was almost 5 o'clock, and the Botanical Garden's radio went off, asking visitors to leave the park. I was tired of playing and a little thirsty, so I bought an ice cream and a grilled sausage for my wife, and we ate it while following the tourists outside.
Good times are always short-lived, and a simple and happy day is just like that, eating and drinking at home, and looking at the scenery at your doorstep, which is also beautiful.
(Isn't this month's seasonal flower very beautiful, I thought it was a fake flower)
I'm a red apple, recording retirement life and sharing daily moments, thank you for reading and supporting.
