Chapter 88 Frog Fishing

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and He Lanshan was bored looking up at the blue sky in the yard on this day.

The spring wind is really comfortable, blowing across the face, with warmth in the coolness, even like the feeling of dogtail brushing across the cheeks.And the smell of grass and soil in the wind is extraordinarily fresh.

The three boys went to school, and no one was picking pigweed at home, so Zhao Shuangxi didn't catch the piglets.

At the beginning of spring, Auntie Fatty replaced ten chicks at home. After raising them for a month, they passed the embarrassing period of shedding their feathers, and their tail feathers were also growing. "Called and flew over to grab food.

"Lanshan, did you hear anything yesterday?" Zhao Shuangxi put down the chicken bowl and walked over, gave He Lanshan a look to hint, seeing the latter's blank expression, he said, "Quack quack quack quack."

If He Lanshan had a sip of water in her mouth, she would definitely spit it out at this moment, but she is already covering her stomach and laughing.

"Well, you girl is still laughing at my mother. I am worried every day. Let's make a living. You can tell me quickly. The frogs in the field were crowing loudly last night." Zhao Shuangxi shook He Lanshan's shoulders shook.

"It seems to be quite loud." He Lanshan looked outside and occasionally there was the sound of frogs.

She didn't tell Zhao Shuangxi what she did for a living, she went directly to the house and took a cloth bag, then picked two longer branches from her firewood pile, and pulled a stick from Zhao Shuangxi's sewing basket. Long two-segment line.

"Is this going to catch frogs?"

"Yes!"

"I won't go, it's your children's play, mother will be laughed at if you follow!"
"Mother, do you still want to find a job to make a living?"

"Okay, I'll go."

Zhao Shuangxi accompanied He Lanshan to the field. The seedlings in the rice field had just been planted, and they were neatly arranged, green and full of vitality.

He Lanshan tied the rope to a long branch, and on the other end of the rope hung a bit of cloth that Zhao Shuangxi cut off from the rag that Zhao Shuangxi used to wipe the stove. of.

"My dear girl, didn't you scare the frog away by shaking so much?" Zhao Shuangxi stared at He Lanshan's fishing rod with introverted eyes, his eyes full of incomprehension.

Instead, He Lanshan looked at her in surprise, and said, "Mom, haven't you ever caught frogs?"

"Isn't it strange that you haven't caught frogs before? There are so many things your mother hasn't done. At that time, mother was only five years old. Stepmother came in and was dragged to do housework every day. How could I have a chance to play? When you see others fishing for frogs, you will be envious."

As Zhao Shuangxi spoke, his eyes revealed incomparable envy.

"Then come and experience your childhood in a few days." He Lanshan helped Zhao Shuangxi fix her fishing pole, and then let her learn how to throw the cloth head tied with a thread into the field.

By the way, he explained to Zhao Shuangxi: "The frog's eyes can't see things that don't move. If we move the cloth head, it will think it's a flying bug and will take the bait."

"So that's how it is!" Zhao Shuangxi nodded, and before she could finish her sentence, she cried out "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh", pointing at her fishing rod, "yes, there's something."

He Lanshan saw that the thread was pulled far away, and when she lifted it up, it turned out to be a frog with three stripes on the back of the blue color, isn't it just a cute little frog.

She quickly opened the cloth bag, lifted the frog by the hook, swung it a few times in the cloth bag, and the frog fell down.

"This frog is so easy to catch!" Zhao Shuangxi poked his head into the cloth bag, looked at the frog he had caught, and grinned so hard that his mouth went behind his ears.

"It's just that this bag won't work, it should be threaded in with wire, and this and that, it's the kind that is stretched." He Lanshan didn't know what to say for a while, so she gestured blindly.

Zhao Shuangxi listened carefully, and nodded, "Just use wire to make a ring, like the mouth of a bucket, I understand, and Ming Erniang will get it out."

"Yeah!" He Lanshan narrowed her eyes happily, it's not bad to have a smart mother.

The mother and daughter concentrated on catching frogs, one for you and one for me, and quickly caught about half a cloth bag, which was so heavy that it was hard to handle.Several times, the frogs ran away because they were too slow to open the bag.

Seeing that the number was about the same, He Lanshan called Zhao Shuangxi to go back.

Back in his yard, Zhao Shuangxi didn't dare to let the frogs out, for fear that there would be jumping frogs all over the yard.

"Ni, I know that frogs can be eaten, but can this toad also be eaten?" Zhao Shuangxi's slender brows frowned.

Toads are generally earth-colored and smaller than frogs. She has seen those children catch frogs to eat, but she has never seen anyone eat toads, so she asked.

He Lanshan glanced at the bag, there were about a dozen toads inside, she didn't know if toads could be eaten, but she had never seen anyone eat them in her previous life, and she didn't want to be the first person to eat toads in this life.

Immediately said: "Mother, I will pick it out later, and you can send it to the duck at the fat aunt's house. The duck lays a lot of eggs after eating it. There is also a big one here, it is so disgusting."

There is also a toad in the cloth bag, and the fluid secreted from its back is said to be poisonous.

"Ah, this is Toad Dog. I thought it would be useful, so I caught it too." Zhao Shuangxi smiled awkwardly.

She hurriedly went to the stove and took out the tongs, pinched the toad dog out, and threw it far away into the vegetable field far away from home.When he came back, He Lanshan had already caught the toad and put it in a bucket.

"My daughter is really powerful, even toads are not afraid, let mother come, and you can just tell me what to do." Zhao Shuangxi was full of energy when thinking about her new life.

He Lanshan instructed Zhao Shuangxi to use scissors to peel off the head and skin of the frog. The meat that came out was white and tender but could still move. Much more pleasing to the eye.

The stripped frog meat was cut into small pieces with scissors, and then marinated with seasonings. In addition to oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, He Lanshan also made some beef sauce and shrimp powder, and then added garlic flakes and ginger slices. fishy.

"It's so troublesome."

Zhao Shuangxi wiped his forehead after finishing his busy work, and said that when he was in the old house, the fried frog porridge was delicious.

"Mom, anyone can make simple things. Our main thing is to make them delicious, so that others can't learn them, and we can sell them at a higher price." He Lanshan educated Zhao Shuangxi.

Zhao Shuangxi nodded silently, what the girl said made sense!

After marinating for an hour, He Lanshan directed Zhao Shuangxi to burn more than half of the oil in the pot.

"It's also a waste of oil!"

"It tastes better when it's fried, and the oil can be fried several times."

She then instructed Zhao Shuangxi to coat the frog with egg wash, then dip it in flour and fry it in a pan.

Because of the firewood burned in the earthen stove, the firepower was too strong, and the first pot was a little mushy.

However, the scent was unambiguous at all. Zhao Shuangxi grabbed a deep-fried frog piece and blew it around her mouth, then handed it to He Lanshan, and she also made one and stuffed it into her mouth.

He Lanshan finished eating the Kaba Kaba. The frog bones were fried and crispy. It tasted very delicious. She was stunned when she saw Zhao Shuangxi, pushed her and said, "Mom, let's eat it!"

"Delicious, delicious, my dear, why did you eat so much delicious food in your dream, and you can still make it, my daughter is so clever." Zhao Shuangxi swallowed the frog chicken he was chewing on. Go down and meet He Lanshan intimately.
