Chapter 51 A Pot of Lobster

When Gu Yunqing came back from the fish basket, he saw Yuan Bao standing alone by the river, without Tian Xiaoyu around him, a thought flashed across him, which made him startled, and rushed over to hug him with a few strides. Yuan Bao asked anxiously, "Yuan Bao, where is your wife? Why is she missing?"

"Hush." ​​Yuan Bao, in Gu Yunqing's arms, compared the gestures of others, then pointed to a black shadow by the river and said, "Here, where is mother, she said she went to touch shrimps , let me wait for her here."

Hearing this, Gu Yunqing was relieved. There was a cold sweat on the back of the nervousness just now, but now he was a little dumbfounded. It turned out that he was really worried for nothing.

Gu Yunqing carried Yuanbao to a high place and put it down, and said in a serious whisper, "Don't run around, I'll help your mother touch the shrimps, if you have anything, just call Dad, okay?"

"Okay, Daddy, go quickly." Yuan Bao hurriedly agreed with his whole heart on Xia.

Seeing such a foodie son, Gu Yunqing felt a little helpless, stepped on the uneven ground, went to the river, and said to the black shadow squatting there, "Daughter-in-law, come up, I'll help you."

Tian Xiaoyu just wanted to try her luck, but she didn't expect to dig out the mud in the pool, there were really crayfish inside, each of them was very fat, and the size was actually longer than her index finger, now her mind is full of spicy crayfish, Paired with cold beer, you will drool just thinking about it.

But this crayfish is delicious and hard to catch. After a long time, I didn't catch any of them. The main reason was that I was afraid of being caught. Now Gu Yunqing spoke. Qing said excitedly, "Sanggong, I found a delicious one, can you help me catch it?"

"What did you find?" Although Gu Yunqing fished shrimps with his friends in the village when he was a child, they were all small shrimps and nothing to eat.

"It's the bright red crayfish. It's delicious, but I dare not catch it. There are a lot of them in the pool over there!" After Tian Xiaoyu finished speaking, he pointed his finger at the pool where he had tossed just now.

When Gu Yunqing heard the glowing red, the figure of the red shrimp immediately popped up in his head. If this kind of guy accidentally enters the paddy field, it can destroy the crops. Some people boiled the red shrimp before, but the shell It’s okay to be hard, but it has a fishy smell and very little meat. Over time, it has become something that farmers hate the most.

"What's delicious about red shrimp? If you really want to eat shrimp, I'll go to the town to buy them for you another day." Gu Yunqing frowned and shook his head, expressing his refusal.

Now Tian Xiaoyu quit. Seeing that the crayfish in his mouth was about to fly, he became anxious, "Then I will go by myself!"

"I'll go, I'll go, don't slip and fall." Gu Yunqing grabbed Tian Xiaoyu who was rushing towards the pool, and said helplessly, "You and Yuan Bao stand on that high ground, it's dark at night. Ma Ma, don't run around."

Although the tone was a little bit of a lesson, but Tian Xiaoyu could naturally feel the full of concern, and nodded in response with a smile, Gu Yunqing was relieved to catch shrimps.

In fact, catching shrimp also requires skill. In this dark day, how can you use your hands, and you just have a fish basket left in your hand. Throw it into the pool, press it, lift it up, and you will definitely be able to catch it.

When Gu Yunqing caught a basket full of shrimps in the fish basket, the family went home happily. Gu Yunqing was not very happy, because he felt that his daughter-in-law ate strange things all day, although All delicious.

When Tian Xiaoyu got home, he poured the crayfish into the basin with a wooden basin and filled a bucket of clean water to keep them. The lobster needs to be kept in clean water for at least one to two days before the shrimp can spit out the mud in its body.

Gu Yunqing looked at the pot full of red prawns, wriggling densely, and goosebumps were about to arise.

Yuan Bao had never eaten this kind of food, but he was very interested in it. He poked and poked it with a wooden stick, and when the crayfish's pincers caught the stick, Yuan Bao hid back in fear.

Because he had to make rice noodles tomorrow, Tian Xiaoyu went to bed early with Yuan Bao, and he might have to get up before dawn the next day. Gu Yunqing tidied up the bamboo in the yard and went into bed happily.

Sure enough, the next day, before the rooster crowed, Liu Yingchun knocked on the courtyard door outside. Gu Yunqing got up sleepily, and opened the door with a yawn. Yes, Xiaoyu hasn't gotten up yet, wait a minute, I'll call her."

Liu Yingchun smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry, I'll go to the kitchen and cook something for you." After speaking, he went to the kitchen with ease.

Gu Yunqing hurried into the room to wake Tian Xiaoyu up, the two of them got dressed and washed, Liu Yingchun had already cooked the noodle soup, Tian Xiaoyu was carrying the steaming noodle soup, and said a little embarrassedly, "Auntie Sister, I really trouble you."

"No trouble, no trouble, we are so close, you and Yun Qing eat quickly, after eating, ask Yun Qing to carry Yuan Bao to your aunt's house, you have to go with me first." Liu Yingchun washed the wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and sat opposite Tian Xiaoyu.

As if thinking of something suddenly, he asked Gu Yunqing, "Yunqing, are you still going to sell fish today?"

"Go, what's the matter?" Gu Yunqing drank the pimple soup, his words were a little vague.

"The pine branches, can they follow you? The ox carts are packed at home." Liu Yingchun felt relieved.

Gu Yunqing nodded in response, "What's the problem then, I'll send the ingots there later, just to drive the ox cart."

After the three of them discussed it, they each performed their duties. After eating, Tian Xiaoyu was dragged away by Liu Yingchun. Gu Yunqing saw that Yuanbao was still sound asleep, so he went to the river to take back the fish basket, and waited for the fish to be taken away. The pocket was full of basins, so he wiped off the water stains on his body, wrapped him in Yuanbao's small quilt, picked him up gently, and went to Aunt Ye's house.

Qiaomei also went out early, Aunt Ye was old, she was sleeping lightly, and was tossing and turning on the bed, when she heard voices outside, she put on her shoes and ran out in a hurry, and saw Gu Yunqing coming holding Yuanbao, lightly He took the child lightly and put it on the kang in the house, so as not to complain, "It's so early in the morning, you are not afraid of freezing my grandson."

"Auntie, no wonder Xiaoyu told me that you love Yuan Bao as much as your own grandson." Gu Yunqing chuckled, taking advantage of this "complaint".

Aunt Ye sat cross-legged on the kang, and said disapprovingly, "I will treat Yuan Bao as my own grandson, why don't you let me?"

"That's impossible, Yuan Bao doesn't have a grandma, and we are very happy to have you as an aunt who loves us." Gu Yunqing saw that Yuan Bao was delivered, and he was still thinking about the fish, "I have to sell fish today, so what's the matter?" I'll go first, ma'am."

 The manuscript depositor said that he didn't quite understand what the author meant. He wrote spicy crayfish in winter, and his mouth was drooling. He should eat hot pot in winter! ! !Eat braised pork! ! !Do you love me?Please take out the ticket, and the manuscript depositor will come and rob it! !
