Like fish, river prawns also like to come out at night to find food, either under grass roots or under rocks, looking for microorganisms in the water to feed their hunger.
But this river prawn is also not so easy to catch. The bigger the prawn, the more sophisticated it is, and it is very alert. If there is a slight movement, it bends and flicks its flexible and elastic body, and quickly backs up in an instant, several times in a row , and never thought of finding it again.
How did Zhou Yuan know that turning over rocks is also very particular, he casually reached into the water and turned over the rocks, the water flow was blocked and formed a small whirlpool that stirred up the sediment at the bottom, the river shrimp would not know unless it was an idiot Movement!
So Zhou Yuan turned over several stones in a row but found nothing. By the time he turned over the rocks, when the churned-up sediment at the bottom of his water subsided and his sight was clear, the river prawns had already disappeared without a trace.
Standing on the shore, just looking at his movements, Lu Xiaoshu knew that this second generation ancestor would definitely not be able to, so he couldn't help but point out to him on the shore.
"Be careful, hold both ends of the stone with both hands, don't lift it up, slowly move sideways in the water along the direction of the water flow, when you see a river shrimp, carefully put the stone aside, and then catch it Be careful, start from its back, pinch its back gently with two fingers! It’s not a joke to pinch your fingers with those long clips…”
After Lu Xiaoshu pointed out, Zhou Yuan tried several times, and finally succeeded in catching a thumb-sized freshwater shrimp. He couldn't help but raised his booty and cheered towards the shore: "Caught it! Caught it! Look, grab it!" live!"
"Be careful!" Xiaoxue just finished speaking, only to hear Zhou Yuan scream "Ah!", desperately shook his hands, and with a "plop", the lucky freshwater shrimp fell into the water again, gaining a new life and freedom .
Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help but chuckled, and said, "Did you forget what I said again? That pair of clamps can turn, be careful!"
"You'd better go ashore!" Xiaoxue couldn't help shouting.
Zhou Yuan took advantage of the moonlight to look at the two blood-like red marks on his fingers, and went ashore in frustration. Lin Fang had already thrown countless shrimps to the bank, and was jumping around alive and well on the river bank.
Zhou Yuan was so depressed that he couldn't hold his head up in front of Xiaoxue, "I'm really useless, I can't do this well!" He suddenly remembered what Lu Xiaoshu had scolded him earlier, saying that he just had a good pregnancy ! Originally, he didn't take this seriously, but now that he thinks about it, it seems to be true...
"You haven't done it, it's nothing if you don't know it!" Xiaoxue smiled, and called Lin Fang: "Lin Fang, that's enough, come up quickly!"
Lin Fang looked at it, and it seemed that it was almost the same, so he agreed to go ashore.
Lu Xiaoshu laughed and said, "You two, deal with these fish and shrimp, my sister and I will go to the field to pull some peanuts and broad beans!"
"Let me go! You two girls' home—" Zhou Yuan said quickly, Xiaoxue comforted him a few words, and he was very grateful.
"This is Maple Leaf Village, what are we not familiar with? After you finish handling these fish and shrimps, we will be back!" Lu Xiaoshu said and dragged Xiaoxue away.
Farming in the countryside takes great care of the land. Soybeans, peas, peanuts or green onions, leeks, etc. are planted on the ridges of the fields, at the ends of the fields, and on the slopes beside the canals, and some can be harvested on weekdays.
Not far away is a large area of fertile fields, and there will naturally be peanuts or peas beside the fields.
It's just pulling a few bushes, which is nothing in the countryside. The two sisters talked and laughed all the way and walked not far away.
It didn't take long to find a peanut field. I picked the most lush and tallest one and pulled out a clump. I shook off the mud. Looking at it under the moonlight, it was densely packed with many peanuts. It has just grown up and is not yet ripe and full, but at this time it is also the most tender, sweet and crisp.
Lu Xiaoshu picked the biggest one, patted off the mud, peeled off the moist and earthy shell, tasted it, and found it was tender and sweet, and said with a smile: "It's much better than eating the overcooked one." , Sister, let's pull out one more!"
Xiaoxue smiled and said "Yes", and then searched a lot with her.
There are a lot of peas in this season, and the two quickly broke off many branches and took them back together.
Lu Qi also came back, and the blazing flames were already burning. All kinds of marinated and skewered meat brought by Lin Fang were neatly placed on the huge tin plates in the two food boxes , Those fish and shrimps have also been processed, and the crickets are working tirelessly to brush the seasoning on it.
A few people sat around laughing and laughing, roasting and eating.
Lu Xiaoshu has always loved all kinds of river fish. Lin Fang had already taken a long string of seasoned river prawns from Cricket and handed them to her, saying, "This one is easy to cook, here you are. I'll grill another fish for you!"
"Okay!" Lu Xiaoshu took the river prawns with a smile, and put them on the fire to roast. After a while, the transparent and blue-colored river prawns turned red, crackling, and the aroma began to permeate.
Lu Qi glanced at the second sister who was staring at the shrimp in his hand and smiling at the corner of her mouth, and then glanced at Lin Fang who was happily grilling fish for her, and thought that this guy is really—sooner or later Xiaoshu will eat it to death of! No, she has been told to eat to death!
It's a pity, in this girl's eyes, besides eating, she is playing. Lin Fang, Lin Fang, I don't like you very much.
Zhou Yuan over there also smiled and asked Xiaoxue what would she like to eat? How could Xiaoxue ask him to help? He smiled and said, "No need, I'll do it myself..."
Lu Qi couldn't help squinting his eyes, which one is this
Seeing this, Zhou Yuan smiled and didn't insist anymore.
It’s just that I felt that I was too shameful tonight, Zhou Yuan thought for a while and said: “There is a big reed marsh over there in our Zhuangzi. In late autumn, there are many wild ducks passing by there to rest and look for food. Every year in Zhuangzi The servants on the website can capture a lot, and it’s interesting to hear what they say, why don’t we go play together this year?”
Anyone who has never played before, Lu Xiaoshu will naturally not refuse anyone who comes. Hearing this, he was very happy and quickly agreed with a smile, beckoning his brothers and sisters.
Xiaoxue is fine, but she just can't bear to get her way, thinking that it will be two or three years, and after a while, she will grow up and can't play like this anymore! So he was even more reluctant to refuse, so he agreed with a smile.
Lu Qi thought for a while and said, "Your family's reed marshes? As far as I know, in Fangyuan Village, only Zhou Yuan's family in Zhoujia Village has a large reed marsh. Your family—"
Xiaoxue's face immediately turned pale, while Lu Xiaoshu secretly laughed, and thought: Well, a mistake will cause eternal hatred, right? Who told you to have a criminal record! If my sister finds out, let's see how far away she is from you without being frightened!
"Come on!" Lin Fang handed the grilled fish to Lu Xiaoshu, and gloated at the excitement from the sidelines.
Zhou Yuan was really embarrassed, and said falteringly: "Uh, our family, our family also has it, no, it's not the Zhou family's! That is, what, oh, our family is a part bought from the Zhou family!"
"Oh!" Lu Qi suddenly realized.
Lu Xiaoshu said again: "The wild ducks are very clever and vigilant, can they be caught so easily? You can't even hunt a few of them!"
Zhou Yuan changed the subject as if he was relieved, and quickly said, "Of course it's ok!" We have matchhead ducks at home, which are specially trained to trap wild ducks. During the day, first set up traps and set up large nets around the area. When wild ducks pass by at night, it is no problem to see matchhead ducks playing in the reeds, and they will naturally follow. The matchhead ducks will lead them to the direction of the trap, and when they are all gone, they can catch dozens of them at a time once they have collected the net! "
Sister Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help being very amused by what she heard, so she smiled and replied, "That wild duck is too stupid, isn't it? Why does the matchmaker duck pass by as soon as it is lured there?"
Zhou Yuan laughed and said, "Actually, I don't really understand, anyway, the matchmaker ducks are trained, they know what to do!"
Lu Qi couldn't help but said: "The wild duck is very wary, and it is not easy to fall at will. Even if it falls, it will not be completely relaxed, and it can take off quickly at any time. It's just that the matchhead duck looks very similar to the wild duck. At night, the wild duck It is easy to recognize them as their own kind. Seeing that they are relaxed and safe, they will naturally let go of their guard! So, if you want to catch wild ducks, you must use matchhead ducks. Otherwise, you will not be able to catch them. They won't be fooled easily!"
"That's right, that's what it means!" Zhou Yuan nodded quickly.
Lu Xiaoshu finally realized it, and felt that this matter was more interesting, Zhou Yuan made a few more words, and then agreed, saying that it's time to go and see the excitement!
A few people chatted and laughed, and unknowingly ate a lot of food, so they walked around on the river beach to digest food.
Lu Xiaoshu took some leftover chicken and tied it with flexible aquatic plants, and ran to the river to fish for shrimps, attracting a large group of finger-sized fish to come after smelling the smell, and shuttled like flowers in the shallow water Hilarious and very interesting. Lin Fang dug a small hole on the gravel and sand nearby, poured some water into it, caught a lot of small fish and put them in to raise. The two had a great time playing.
Xiaoxue stood on the shore, smiling at them from afar.
"Xiaoxue," the sudden voice next to her startled Xiaoxue, she whispered slightly, turned her head to see Zhou Yuan, nodded and smiled, "It's you..."
"Scared you..." Zhou Yuan was very sorry, showing guilt and unbearable: "I'm sorry, I, didn't mean it."
"It's okay!" Xiaoxue smiled and shook her head, "It's because I've always been timid."
"The girl's family should be so gentle and gentle!" Zhou Yuan hurriedly laughed, rubbing his hands a little bit hesitant to speak.
Xiaoxue couldn't help but glanced at the second younger sister who was smiling happily in the distance, pursed her lips and shook her head with a slight smile, seeing Zhou Yuan like this, she was a little strange and said, "You... Is there something wrong?"
Zhou Yuan moved his lips, and he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Well, at that Spring Festival temple fair—"
As soon as Xiaoxue heard him mention that incident, her face became hot, and she lowered her head and was about to walk away.
Zhou Yuan quickly said: "I know I was being abrupt, but I really didn't mean it. At that time, I just wanted to ask you, what was your name and where did you live, I really didn't mean anything else, I didn't expect Scared you!" He sighed and said rather depressedly: "Actually, you don't know? I was beaten badly by your second sister..."
