September 27 was a sunny Sunday. Under the encouragement of Yang Jibin, Yin Huiyan organized the whole class to go to the pioneer canal near the school for an autumn outing.

Pioneer canal is a branch canal of the people's canal, the main purpose is for summer irrigation paddy fields, whenever the rice is harvested, into the dry season, the water supply of this branch canal will be cut off, this time is a good time for friends to catch fish, catch shrimp and touch crabs.

As a collective activity of the class, for the safety of the children's shoes, Yin Huiyan, together with Chinese teacher Liu Mingyu and nature teacher Chen Chaohua, is duty-bound to act as organizers and guardians.

As the initiator of the local tyrant-level player, Yang Jibin is a self-appointed quartermaster with a large package, responsible for all the logistics materials, and has a large cart of washed vegetables, melons and fruits, chickens, ducks, fish and meat, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, pots and pans, knives, cutting boards, mineral water, etc.

Because the autumn picnic camp was selected on the hill above the pioneer canal, the truck could not drive up at all, but fortunately, the strength of the large number of people, with the concerted efforts of the little friends, a cart of supplies was quickly moved to the relatively flat lawn of the hill by means of ant moving.

After settling down, Yin Huiyan naturally wouldn't let go of this good opportunity and brought Zhou Zhi over for an autumn picnic. Yin Huiyan and other three teachers first organized the children's shoes to have collective entertainment activities on the hillside, such as singing competitions, drumming and passing flowers, throwing hand towels and other classic games.

After playing for more than an hour in the group activity, Yin Huiyan gave an order and began to act separately to prepare for the noon picnic. As soon as the words fell, the children's shoes dispersed in a hurry, some were responsible for collecting firewood, some were responsible for cutting vegetables and preparing materials, and some were digging pits and burying pots and ...... under the leadership of Yang Jibin. The children's shoes, who did not have a specific task, were excited to pull up their cuffs and pants and go to catch fish, shrimp and crabs in the canal.

Yang Jibin settled the five pots in three clicks and two clicks, and the rest of the matters such as burning the fire, cutting vegetables, stir-frying, and boiling soup were entrusted to the three teachers and a few ingenious girls.

After Yang Jibin said hello to the teacher, he also joined the activity of catching fish and touching shrimp, which was not for a bite. Rather, it is to enjoy the pleasure of labor.

Now the water in the Pioneer Canal has been cut off at the upstream gates, and apart from a few pits, the bottom of the canal is largely left with ankle-deep water. There are really a lot of small fish, shrimp and crabs in this canal, especially the density in those water swings is quite large.

At the same time, there are many types of fish, including rice shrimp, crucian carp, carp, silver carp, mosquito-eating fish, fork-tailed betta, stick fish, small white strip, trout, wheat ear fish, red fish plate, tilapia and so on.

But these fish are not big, the small ones are four or five centimeters, and the big ones are only ten centimeters, and the rural people generally catch them to feed chickens and ducks. Of course, you can also eat them by people, and wash them. Wrapped in flour and mud, it tastes quite good when it is fried directly in the pan.

The children's shoes no matter how to deal with these fish and shrimp, they all hold the basin and carry the pockets to grasp vigorously, it is rare to have such a group activity, and they have a lot of fun.

"Ouch, I'm pinched by a crab, come and save me." Suddenly, a scream sounded, and it turned out to be a curious baby Ma Siruo's shoes. I accidentally got hit while catching a crab.

"Don't shake your hands, put your hands in the water!" Yang Jibin, who was not far away, immediately shouted.

"yes. Put it in the water and it will run. The experienced boys' shoes shouted.

But Ma Siruo's shoes would panic, where could he hear it, Yang Jibin walked over helplessly, grabbed her hand, and reached into the water. After a few moments, the crab released its pincers and fled.

"Ah, it's bleeding, what should I do?" After Ma Siruo withdrew his hand, he saw bright red blood oozing from his fingertips. Babbled and cried.

"Alas, children's shoes, this crab is not caught like this. You better go to the shore and watch, go to Mr. Yin's first, disinfect it with alcohol, and then bandage the wound. I'll avenge you and catch the murderer! Yang Jibin put his hand into the water and grabbed the crab that had absconded from the crime.

In fact, this kind of freshwater crab is not as good as a saltwater crab, except for two large claws with a little meat, other parts can't eat any meat at all, only some taste.

There are several common ways to eat: first, after opening the shell, remove the internal organs and other organs, and fry them directly; Second, after removing the internal organs and washing them, mix them with liquor, monosodium glutamate, chicken essence, ginger, garlic, sugar, salt, sesame oil and other seasonings and marinate for a few hours before they are used to serve the wine; The third is to boil the crab in water. After boiling the dirty contents of the crab's belly, when it is almost cooked, take it out and stir-fry or steam it.

As for catching crabs, it's actually very simple, start from the back of the crab, grab the crab shell directly with your fingers, and if you catch it head-on, it will definitely clamp your fingers fiercely.

The crab's pincers are very sharp, but they are not vegetarian, and once they clamp you, the more you struggle, the tighter they become, and if you shake your hands hard, they will often break their pincers and leave them directly on your fingers. In this way, once the pliers are locked, it is difficult to remove the pliers painlessly.

After catching the crab, in order to prevent it from clamping you, you can use a thin grass stalk to insert it between the shell seams behind the pliers, and you can lock its pincers, and you can't open and close the tongs.

"Boss, how about we go into the tunnel to explore?" Wang Jiayan ran to Yang Jibin and pointed to the black hole through the mountain canal.

We have to admire the great strength of the masses of the people in the era of the great collectives, who not only built a people's democratic canal several tens of kilometers long, but also built a branch canal several kilometers long in order to build water conservancy facilities to irrigate farmland.

Even the hill blocking the road has been chiseled through, the tunnel that Wang Jiayan pointed out just now is the canal that passes through the mountain, the whole tunnel is about 100 meters long, and it was all knocked out by an axe and a hammer back then, and the amount of work is quite small.

"You boys, you're quite fat, aren't you afraid that there are water snakes and poisonous insects in it?" Yang Jibin looked at the shoes of several boys who came up and quipped.

"Boss, we're afraid, but you're not afraid, if you're not afraid, we're not afraid!" Wang Jiayan is quite good at talking, and he bypassed Yang Jibin in a few clicks.

"Boss, don't you often tell us to be bold and careful, that the greatest enemy is yourself, and that you must overcome your fears? Aren't we trying to train our courage with you! ”

"yes, we'd love to go in and have a look, maybe we'll find something good!"

Boys are just different from girls, they like to take risks and find excitement, especially in front of a group of delicate girls, this idea is even stronger. (To be continued.) )
