55. Touching the river mussel

The old man's bridge-building plan is being carried out in an orderly manner.

This time, he still didn't use nails, and chose to build it with an ancient and delicate mortise and tenon structure.

From the processing of wood to the carving of mortise and tenon joints, from the construction of the underframe to the splicing of the bridge deck, the old man is dedicated and meticulous!

Xia Jie will use drones every day to shoot processing videos to record his grandfather's wisdom and diligence!

Of course, he himself was not idle, watering the fruit trees and vegetable garden every day, and carving small things as ornaments in the farmhouse.

The porcelain clay has also been dried, and when the old man finishes work today, he can go to practice his hands and try the inherited ceramic skills.

"Grandpa, wipe your face, drink some water, and take a break!"

Seeing his grandfather sweating like rain, Xia Jie washed the towel in the clear and cold stream, and then handed it over.

"Hey!"

Xia Changjiang on the bridge deck took the towel, wiped his face, picked up the big teacup placed next to him, and drained most of the tea water.

"Xiaojie, it's basically almost, and when the railings on both sides of the bridge are installed, this wooden bridge will be completed. ”

The old man looked at both sides and nodded with satisfaction.

"Grandpa, you don't have to say anything about your craft, quack, I guess when I finish sending it, I'll have to surprise those crooked nuts. ”

Xia Jie said with a smile.

"I can't say that, I'm just doing carpentry for a longer time, more experience, the strong have their own strong hands, a mountain is higher than a mountain, can't be too complacent!"

Xia Changjiang waved his hand and said very modestly.

"But those foreigners really like to watch our craftsmen work?"

The old man said with some skepticism.

For the millions of views of his two videos, he thinks it's quite mysterious, and he doesn't have any specific concepts, just know one word: many!

"Grandpa, you are the inheritance of ancient skills, for this kind of technical things, everyone likes to watch it!

Xia Jie raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Don't you know, there are a lot of foreign 'dolls' now, and they want to recognize you as a grandfather!"

"What, that's not good, I only have you as my own grandson!"

Xia Changjiang shook his head again and again and said.

A large group of grandchildren, who can afford to raise them!

"Haha, grandpa, is there anything else you want me to help with here!"

Xia Jie stopped amusing his grandfather and asked.

"It's none of your business, you're busy with your going, I don't need your help here. ”

For carpentry work, the old man is serious, and he must not tolerate the slightest sloppiness, and it is necessary to do it himself.

"Then I'll touch some river mussels, let's eat them at noon!"

Xia Jie pointed to the stream next to him and said.

"Okay, be safe!"

Xia Changjiang nodded and admonished.

"Don't worry, grandpa, I can touch it with my eyes closed. ”

Xia Jie said as he took off his shoes and socks, took the bucket and went down.

"Woooooooo

The ball next to him is also jumping up and down, eager to try.

"Come down, it's cool in the water. ”

Seeing Qiuqiu's tongue stretched out, Xia Jie also beckoned and shouted.

"Woooooooooooo

Since the owner said that it was okay, then it must be okay, and Qiuqiu immediately jumped down and fluttered happily in the water.

Authentic dog crawling style, such as a fake bag change!

The old man was almost filmed there, and the drone flew to Xia Jie's side again, turning on the live broadcast mode.

"Hello everyone, I'm here!"

"Yo, hunter Xiaojie is online again, what are you going to do in the river, are you going to catch fish or touch shrimp?"

"Dalijie, you said that Grandpa Xia Mu made wooden bridges, where is it?

"That's right, let's have a sneak peek at what this wooden bridge looks like!"

Looking at the live broadcast room for a while, Xia Jie smiled mysteriously.

"Grandpa's wooden bridge is ready to sweep the tail, go back and wait for the whole to be completed, and then send a video to everyone to see, now it is in the secret stage!"

"I'll prepare to go into this stream and see if I can touch some river mussels, just add a dish at noon!"

"Wait, anchor, what do you say you want to touch? Touch the mussel? You're not afraid of being trapped?"

"I don't have any life experience upstairs, and I haven't experienced the fun of touching river mussels!"

"Ho ho, I like to eat mussels, the thick lips, the fat meat, and a unique umami taste, so fragrant!"

"Isn't it not only fragrant, but also salty?"

"I know the river mussel, we call it the river crooked here, use it to burn meat, that's really one word: praise!"

"Look, Dajie has already started to act!"

Haha, it's related to food again, and everyone's passion for discussion is as high as ever.

Xia Jie walked to the deep water area downstream, and said to everyone: "This river mussel, in fact, also has skills, pay attention to 'one step, two touches!'"

"The so-called stepping on the bottom of the water barefoot to see if you have touched that pointy, round thing, if the shape can match, it is basically a river mussel!"

"As for the second touch, it is to reach into the water to touch, because some river mussels will be hidden in the mud and sand, and they need to be turned out by hand. ”

"Hey, it's in stock!"

As he was talking, Xia Jie suddenly stopped, then leaned down and quickly fished out a black, oval thing from the water.

With a slight force, he broke open the brown-black shell, revealing the white, tender, and pink mussel flesh inside, which seemed to be still rising and shrinking.

"Haha, you see, this mussel is good, the meat is very full, you can, you can take it!"

Throwing the palm-sized mussel into the bucket, Xia Jie continued to explore the next target.

Doodle!

The sound of motorcycles could be heard in the distance.

didn't need to look at it, Xia Jie knew that it was Song Xiaodong, the kid who came.

"Brother Jie, Brother Jie, touch the fish?"

Driving to the side of the stream, Song Xiaodong immediately jumped down and shouted loudly.

"No, I'm going to touch some mussels and eat them at noon. ”

Xia Jie pointed to the bucket and said.

"Come on, come on, I'm here to help, catch more to eat!"

Song Xiaodong didn't say a word, took off his pants and left.

It's not good to fight soft-shelled turtles, but we're good at touching river mussels.

"It's because no one has touched it here, so there's a lot of mussels in it, you see, it's only been a while, and the buckets are full. ”

"But this seems like a lot, and when it burns, it's just enough for a pot. ”

Xia Jie raised the bucket and shook it at the camera.

"Well, Dali Jie is telling the truth, so much may not be enough for me to eat alone!"

"There are a lot of goods in this river, next time I go, I will also come to touch the river mussels and experience the fun!"

"Brother, speed up and add my WeChat, and the fresh river mussels will be sent to your door to touch!"

"Alas, the anchor is going to eat delicious food again, so how can I, who is soaking Laotan sauerkraut, be embarrassed!"

"Mountain village chef, hurry up, burn a river mussel and I'll take a look, I'm waiting for dinner!"
