Chapter fifty-ninth, touch the shrimp
Gan Yuan calmed himself down and looked at the sun in the sky.
"The sun has gone to the west, and time flies by quite quickly."
The three of them actually bought some snacks in the town at noon. It was already four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and their stomachs were already telling their owners that they needed to be filled.
"Let's make some fresh food to eat tonight!"
Gan Yuan came up with the idea.
"Tian Xian?"
Dong Yiyuan and Su Qingqing showed curious faces at the same time, and the barrage in the live broadcast room was also full of question marks.
Gan Yuan said with a smile: "There are seafood in the sea, river freshness in the river, and of course freshness in the fields!"
"The crayfish, snails, loaches, eels and other fish you often eat can all be found in the fields!"
Speaking of crayfish and snails, the eyes of the two girls clearly shined.
These things are very popular in the city, and with Gan Yuan’s craftsmanship, they will definitely be delicious! Dong Yiyuan was the first to agree.
"Okay, okay! Let's eat Tianxian!"
Gan Yuan said with a smile: "It's too late to go to the ground to catch crayfish now. Let's go catch some, and then we'll see if others have caught them and we can buy some."
Unfamiliar words came out of Gan Yuan's mouth, which made the two girls look confused.
It’s not easy to explain, just go and do it.
When I brought the two people home, the people who helped lay the foundation had already rested, and Zhang Jiadi was making food for them in the kitchen.
When the three of them came back, she came out with a big bowl of cold bracken.
Su Qingqing asked curiously: "What kind of dish is this? I've never seen it before?"
Bracken is a wild vegetable. Although you can occasionally see it in cities now, not many people have actually eaten it.
Zhang Jiadi said with a smile: "This is bracken. I picked it in the back mountain this morning. I came to try it. I'm afraid you girls in the city won't be used to it."
The two of them each took some and ate it, but they had different expressions.
Su Qingqing looked uncomfortable, but Dong Yiyuan looked surprised.
"It tastes so bad! Brother Gan, help me eat it."
Of course it was Su Qingqing who said this, and handed the remaining half to Gan Yuan. Gan Yuan didn't show any pretense, he opened his mouth and ate the remaining bracken.
But Dong Yiyuan said: "I think it's okay."
After saying that, he picked up another chopstick.
Zhang Jiadi said with a smile: "This thing is divided into different categories. His father won't eat any clams. If you like it, you can eat more."
At this time, Gan Fang, whom she mentioned, interrupted: "I just can't eat it, it smells weird."
"Are the watermelons in the field okay?"
Gan Yuan replied: "It's very good, quite sweet. I think many of them are overripe. If I don't sell them in the town, they will be overripe."
Gan Fang glared at him: "I'm building a house for you. How can I have time to build it? If you have time, just build it and sell it. Otherwise, I'll drag it to your third uncle."
Gan Yuan's third uncle is the contact person of the consignee in the village. He usually handles fruits and agricultural products.
Gan Fangfang added: "You should go out and have fun. These dishes are for the helpers. I will cook them for you when you come back later."
Gan Yuan suddenly remembered something: "I'll do it tonight and cook some food for you and mom."
"By the way, Dad, get us some crayfish fishing poles, and we'll go catch some crayfish."
Then he shouted to Zhang Jiadi who entered the kitchen: "Mom? Do you have any chicken livers at home? Give me some shrimp!"
Not long after, Gan Fang made some small hanging poles from tree branches and handed them to Gan Yuan.
After putting some chicken livers in a small bowl, the three of them came to the small mud ditch at the edge of the field.
Gan Yuan hung up a little chicken liver and threw it into the mud ditch. Next to him, Su Qingqing had a look of wonder: "Did crayfish grow up in such a dirty mud ditch?"
Gan Yuan nodded: "Yes, so what we caught cannot be eaten tonight. We have to soak it in water overnight to remove the dirt before we can eat it."
"But there are quite a few people in the village who make these things. Let's just buy some later."
Gan Yuan didn't expect to rely on three people to prepare the ingredients freshly, just for fun.
While he was talking, Gan Yuan suddenly saw the hook move, and immediately lifted the boom gently, and a crayfish measuring more than ten centimeters was also lifted up.
"It's time to catch it! It's time to catch it!" Su Qingqing was particularly excited.
Gan Yuan took a prepared small bucket and drove the crayfish in with a gentle pull.
Seeing how simple it was, the two girls were both interested and started to flirt with each other.
Because Gan Yuan’s family has few manpower and doesn’t usually cook crayfish, there are a lot of them in the fields.
After a while, the small bucket was half full.
Gan Yuan happened to see a teenage boy walking in the field next to him, and quickly shouted: "San Genzi, San Genzi, come here!"
This is Zhang Zhengqiang's younger brother. He is only 18 or 19 years old this year. He graduated from high school and did not study. He returned home to help with farming.
Gan Yuan saw him carrying a big bucket from a distance, most likely to catch shrimps.
"Brother Yuan, you are back! I just heard from my brother that you came back in a big car? You can drive me around some other time!"
Gan Yuan was willing to play with Zhang Zhengqiang when he was a child, and San Genzi was willing to play with Gan Yuan.
"Okay, I'll drive you out to play tomorrow."
"I see you are carrying a big bucket. Are you here to collect the cage?"
Sangenzi nodded, and Gan Yuan said with a smile: "Just in time, we'll go with you, and we'll get the next two cages and take some more from you."
Sangenzi looked at the two beautiful girls behind Gan Yuan, feeling a little embarrassed and wanting to show off.
"Just give it to you directly. I haven't even picked up what I collected yesterday to sell!"
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the four of them walked towards his house.
When they reached a small mud ditch, San Genzi stopped.
"That's it! I laid a lot of cages yesterday!"
As he said that, he jumped directly in, and after a while he pulled out a small cage less than one meter high.
Inside the cage, there were crayfish fighting with their pincers.
And it’s not just crayfish.
Sangenzi pushed the cage into the bucket and saw many things rolling out, such as loaches and frogs.
Throw the frog out, and then put the loach into another bucket, and you have a ground cage.
The two girls looked at it curiously.
"Why are these shrimps so stupid? They can't come out when they get in?"
Sangenzi smiled and demonstrated.
First take a small ball, put some earthworms in it, then throw it into the ground cage, and then throw it into the ditch, which is considered to be a ground cage.
"These things really like earthworms! You can catch a lot of them in one night if you put them down."
Su Qingqing obviously wanted to go down to play, but she didn't have waterproof clothing and gloves, and couldn't go down into this smelly creek.
Gan Yuan said with a smile: "Forget it about going to the underground cage. If you are too tired, you have to crawl into the ditch."
