Chapter 16: Touching the Fish and Shrimp

Good looks are also an advantage, after all, everyone has a love for beauty, and when you look at Chen Yu's appearance, you like it. Chen Yu was not ignored because she was a girl, and even several cousins liked Chen Yu very much. Because he lives close, Chen Yu is an idle person, so he often plays with his cousins, and everyone still likes Chen Yu's younger sister.

Chen Yu will go to the trap every few days to put the prey, not only without eyesight, but also have some harvest, in addition to selling some, sometimes the family can also get meat.

Now that the weather is getting hotter, Chen Yu has harvested the pasture twice, but because the harvested animals are kept for his own food, he has not sold them, and the copper coins are not enough to open the fish pond, otherwise he can eat fish and shrimp.

But the space can't be, it doesn't mean that the outside can't, Chen Yu remembered the river not far from home, there should be fish and shrimp inside, right? However, Chen Yu didn't have any fishing tools, so he couldn't get them.

At Chen Yu's door, he looked at his cousin with a bucket and asked, "Second cousin, where are you going?" ”

"Yes, Xiaoyu, we are going to the river to fish, and my brother will come back to bring you fish later." The second cousin said.

"But the river is so deep that you can all swim?" Chen Yu asked.

"Of course we can swim, but we don't catch fish at this gate, there is a river beach in the distance, the water is shallow and wide, and there are many fish, we are going there." The second cousin said.

"Second cousin, I want to go too, take me with you, okay." Chen Yu said coquettishly.

Maybe it's because he has become a child, Chen Yusa doesn't feel embarrassed at all, and completely forgets that his inner core is an adult who is older than these.

"It's okay to take you there, but you can't play in the water, and you can't go to the water's edge, or I won't take you there." The second cousin thought about it and said.

"Don't worry, second cousin, I will be obedient." Chen Yu said.

After walking for more than half an hour, a group of children came to the river beach, the river beach is really wide, the coast is also very wide, and the pebbles are paved far away, Chen Yu watched his cousins go into the water to catch fish, and he picked up pebbles on the side.

Chen Yu watched a river mussel basking in the sun on the stones, but if Chen Yu took it in the past, he would definitely wet his shoes, so he called: "Second cousin, I want that." ”

The second cousin, Chen Jian, heard Chen Yu's voice, and followed the direction of Chen Yu's finger to see the river mussel. picked it up, handed it to Chen Yu, and said to Chen Yu: "Xiaoyu, this is a river mussel, you can't eat it." ”

"Why can't you eat it?" Chen Yu asked puzzledly, Chen Yu remembered that he had eaten river mussels, which was similar to this one, could it be another variety?

"This one is too fishy, there is sand, there is not much meat, some people have taken it back and tried it before, but no one eats this." The second cousin explained.

Chen Yu suddenly realized, it turned out that this was the case, it was not that the river mussels could not be eaten, but that the people here would not be able to do it. However, because of poverty and limited resources, the food of the people here is very simple, basically boiled, and there are very few stir-fried vegetables, so it is understandable that they do not know how to make river mussels.

However, a river mussel is a bit less, but it can still be made into river mussel soup, Chen Yu said: "Second cousin, can you help me catch a few more river mussels, I'll take it back and try it." ”

"No problem, the mussels are easy to catch, and no one wants them everywhere. But the mussels are really not delicious, do you really want to take them back and eat them? The second cousin said.

"I'll take it back and try it, and I won't eat it if it's not delicious." Chen Yu said.

"Okay, second cousin will catch you more." The second cousin said.

I didn't expect that no one here eats river mussels, so didn't Chen Yu find a way to get rich? After careful inquiry, Chen Yu knew that not only river mussels, but also snails, crabs, and turtles were all eaten by no one, Chen Yu seemed to see countless delicacies rushing towards him, no one ate it meant that no one grabbed it with him, maybe after taking it back and making it for his family, his family felt good, and he could improve the food in the future.

There should be a lot of turtle turtles here, and it is very likely that they will run to the stones to bask in the sun at this time, so Chen Yu searched carefully and really caught a relatively large one. Turtle soup is a great tonic, and it is even more perfect with a little herbs, and the soup is stewed at night.

When he went back, Chen Yu had a full harvest, a large handful of river mussels, an old turtle, and a few fish and shrimp from his cousin. Of course, after taking it home, Chen Yu's mother brought the fish and shrimp into the kitchen, but the remaining river mussels and old turtles did not move, but said: "What are you doing with these things, you can't eat them." ”

"Mother, this can be eaten. Let's take a basin and fill it with water, and let it spit out the sand and there will be no sand. Chen Yu said.

"I really haven't seen any family eat this, forget it, I'll help you raise it, forget it this time, don't bring it back next time, this is not delicious at all." Chen Yu's mother said.

"But I think it's going to be delicious. By the way, there is also this turtle, which can be used as a stew after washing, but it can be replenished. Chen Yu said.

"How do you know? I've never heard of turtles still being eaten. Chen Yu's mother said.

"It's true, the last time I was playing on the side of the mountain, I met an old grandfather who said that he was a doctor, he must be right, he said that the turtle and a medicinal herb stew soup is good for people, and the old man of the medicinal herbs also told me, I also helped the old man dig it." Chen Yu said.

Because he was afraid that his mother would not believe it, Chen Yuhu made up a doctor from Youfang, and the effect was very good, at least Chen Yu's mother believed that the turtle could eat it.

"Really? What the doctor said should be right, he won't lie to you a little child, then I'll go wash this turtle and stew it in the soup at night, by the way, the medicinal herbs are not far away, if you are not far away, you can dig a little. Our family doesn't have anything to replenish the body, this turtle is everywhere, if it's true, then it's developed, even if it doesn't sell for money, it's good to eat it at home. However, there are not many turtles that eat, so it should be impossible to sell them for money, so I still eat them at home. Chen Yu's mother said.

"No problem, I'll go now, it's not far at all, I'll be back soon." Chen Yu said.

"Be careful, don't go into the mountains." Chen Yu's mother said.

"Don't worry, I'll take notice." After Chen Yu finished speaking, he left.

Chen Yu space planted some medicinal materials such as codonopsis and poria cocos, which had already been harvested, so Chen Yu did not go up the mountain to find it, but just took it out, but Chen Yu had such an opportunity to go to the foot of the mountain in an open and honest manner, so naturally he would not waste it, he could find out if there were any precious medicinal materials, of course, it didn't matter if he couldn't find it.

An hour later, Chen Yu came back and brought back the medicinal herbs, Chen Yu's mother was very happy when she saw them, "I have seen these medicinal herbs in the pharmacy, do we have a lot of them on this mountain?" If there are a lot of them, it's not bad for us to dig up medicinal herbs and sell them, these are tonics, and they should be able to sell for a lot of money. ”
