SFS Chapter 143 There are many
Chapter 143 There are many
There are plenty of river shrimps in the river. Not only will you get tired of eating them every day, but when you eat them you always feel like you are eating a layer of skin, with no taste.
It is also because they are reluctant to add seasoning when cooking at home, so they are not very interested in river shrimps.
When he saw that they were looking for this thing, he was very enthusiastic and pointed them in the direction.
Following the direction of their fingers, I saw shrimps swimming around in a place with lush aquatic plants not far away.
Gu Wan was so curious that she couldn't help but move closer to take a look. She didn't even react when her pants got wet.
"Wow, why are there so many? And why are they all transparent?"
The river shrimps are indeed small, especially when cast in the shadows by the water plants on the shore, so you can only see vague shadows.
"I don't know why it's transparent, but it's green when you get it out, and it turns red when you fry it in a pan."
Liu Qingcheng scratched her hair. She couldn't explain Gu Wan's question.
"Haven't you seen it before?"
Gu Wan shook her head. She had seen the prawns, crayfish, and mantis shrimps on the table, as well as sweet shrimps, prawns, prawns, red shrimps, and white shrimps... In short, she had eaten quite a few shrimps.
But I have never seen such a small and active shrimp.
"Then hurry up and grab some and try it. This stuff is really good when stir-fried with leeks."
Seeing that Gu Wan liked it, Liu Qingcheng pulled Gu Wan's small basket down and quickly lifted it up.
As the water in the basket gradually disappeared, the shrimps inside began to bounce violently, and several of them even jumped out.
The shrimps that were caught were indeed a light ink-blue color.
"Quick, bring your bucket over here and fill it up. I'll get you some more. If you can't finish it, you can dry it and make soup with it later."
Well, the people here really like to make soup of everything!
When Gu Wan went out, she brought a small bucket, which was originally used to hold snails. This basket was used by Gu Wan to hold things for Liu Qingcheng in the morning.
Thinking that I would have to go back soon anyway, I brought it with me so that I wouldn't have to go back to her house to get it.
This can be used to catch shrimps for her.
The number of shrimps did not decrease as they fished them several times. They just would hide away when they were frightened at first, but would swim over again after a while.
Only when the bucket was half full did he stop, feeling unsatisfied.
I picked a large taro leaf and covered it on top to prevent the shrimps from jumping out.
Although the bucket is small, it is quite deep. Although you may not be able to jump out, in order to put other things in it, it is better to cover it with a layer.
Gu Wan looked at the children breaking stones and was curious.
"Are there really crabs under those rocks?"
Although she had eaten crabs before, she really didn't know what the living habits of wild crabs were.
"Sure, do you want to go check it out?"
Liu Qingcheng saw that she had the mind of a child and wanted to go and take a look, so he took the initiative to suggest it.
"Is it okay? Will we scare the crabs away if we go?"
"How could that be? Crabs are not fish. They are all under the rocks. Only by moving the rocks away can they be startled.
And their hole is right under the rock, so they can get out just by digging."
Gu Wan didn't expect that crabs could actually dig holes, so she hurriedly followed Liu Qingcheng towards where a group of children were standing.
They all bent over with their trouser legs rolled up above their knees. The child squatting in the front squatted directly on the water, with the back of his trousers soaked in the water.
He carefully took away the stones one by one.
The water level here is lower than where Gu Wan caught shrimps before, only slightly higher than Gu Wan's ankles.
The water surface was sparkling, and the light refracted into the water, forming a very beautiful aperture.
The water surface is somewhat warm, but it is somewhat cool underneath.
The moment the stone was removed, the gravel and dust underneath made that small area slightly turbid, but soon became clear again.
"Oh, why not again?"
"Shh~"
"That stone is big, and there's moss on it. There must be some."
Gu Wan looked in the direction the child pointed. The big thing he described was only slightly bigger than the one just now, and just slightly bigger than the palm of an adult man.
The child in front observed it carefully, and probably agreed with what he said, so he squatted and took small steps towards the stone.
Everyone held their breath and waited. Although the child was small, his arms were full of muscles. He held up the stone with a very steady hand.
The child was lifted up about five or six centimeters from the ground. Before Gu Wan could see clearly, she saw a child next to the squatting child reach in with a hand.
With a reach of its hand, it squeezed out a green crab.
"Wow, there really is one, and it's a big one. Let's check if there are any more in the cave."
The child holding the stone quickly threw it aside and scooped into the murky water before the water became clear.
He just let out a cry and a painful expression appeared on his face, with his teeth bared. Gu Wan was startled and her heart tightened.
"Hiss, block it quickly, there are still a few in here, I'm trapped."
Although his hand was clamped by the crab, he was still unwilling to let go of the crab.
After he took out the crab, he stepped back and let the person standing behind him fill his position.
Gu Wan felt a sharp pain when she saw his pinched fingers. She decided not to eat crabs as it was too dangerous.
Although the crab was small, it was pinched so hard that it bled. The child simply twisted the claws off and threw the crab into the backpack he brought with him.
The backpack was exquisite and beautiful, a bit like the small ethnic-style backpacks that you see in tourist attractions in later generations.
Gu Wan was secretly envious, and saw him take off the crab claws very easily. Gu Wan didn't even notice how he did it.
In just a blink of an eye, the crab claw was removed and thrown into the backpack. Gu Wan seemed to still see him weakly pinching the air twice.
After taking off the crab claws, he rinsed his bleeding hand in the water, licked it in his mouth, and then squeezed into the crowd again.
Gu Wan no longer had the desire to watch any further, so Liu Qingcheng pulled Gu Wan to look for snails.
Snails usually live in places with stone walls, clinging to the walls. Liu Qingcheng took Gu Wan to see them.
The dark blue stone wall was so densely packed with things that Gu Wan even developed claustrophobia.
Especially the snail, which was particularly small, but it was clinging to the stone wall very hard. Gu Wan closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
Secret self-hypnosis.
"Think about snails, think about midnight snacks, think about midnight snacks, think about it."
