Chapter 111: Catching Crabs (2)
Cheng Chumo's move made everyone present laugh.
Theoretically, the human hand is almost omnipotent with tools, but without tools, there are only a handful of things that can be done with both hands. A group of people fluttered in the water for a long time, plus the crab that caught Cheng Chumo's heroic righteousness, only five were caught. Later, when I saw that I really couldn't catch it, I simply gave up and played in the water. Cheng Chumo was too wild, grabbed Yu Chi Baolin's head and pressed it into the water, Yu Chi Baolin was caught off guard, choked several mouthfuls of water, and his old face turned purple. Before Yu Chi Baolin could take a breath, his thigh was grabbed by Cheng Chumo again, and he fell to the bottom, with his feet up and his head down, and he was planted in the water. By the time Yu Chi Baolin got up, Cheng Chumo had already run out two feet away, and he laughed while splashing Yu Chi Baolin with water.
While they were having a good time in the water, a man suddenly appeared on the shore, not an old man who had come to catch crabs, but a woman. The woman had come here to wash her clothes with a large basket of dirty clothes in her hand. Seeing that so many big men with red stripes suddenly appeared in the pond, the woman's face turned red, she screamed, and ran away as if she were flying.
Cheng Chumo, this kid is very cheap, when the woman turned to leave, Cheng Chumo came to the water, and the whole person jumped out of the water, and the naked body was visible at a glance. He shouted at the fleeing woman, "Let you see the cow of the master!" "This person, as long as he is crazy, he will dare to do anything!
Seeing Cheng Chumo's move, everyone present despised in their hearts: "Shameless! ”
When Cheng Chumo was teasing the departing woman, Yu Chi Baolin quietly sneaked to him, grabbed a handful of silt from under the water, and threw it at Cheng Chumo's cow, hitting the target! Cheng Chu wailed silently, fell into the water, and as soon as he got out of the water, Yu Chi Baolin grabbed another handful of mud and pasted it on his face, and scolded with a smile: "I'll let you be a cow!" ”
Cheng Chumo wiped the mud off his face, pounced on Yu Chi Baolin with his teeth and claws, and then rolled into a ball, sometimes emerging from the water, sometimes diving to the bottom, like two dragons fighting in the water. The servants gathered them in the middle and cheered incessantly, and the scene was very lively.
Just when everyone was having fun, the old man who caught crabs finally arrived, carrying a strange-shaped net bag in his hand, Wei Hong saw that this was the legendary magic weapon for catching crabs, the ground cage. came to Wei Hong, threw the ground cage to the ground casually, his face was a little not good-looking, and he stared at the people in the water with a straight hair. Wei Hong didn't understand what was going on, so he opened his mouth to ask, and then he knew. The woman who came to wash the clothes just now was the old man's daughter-in-law, and as soon as the woman went home and told her about it, the old man didn't want to come at the time, but considering that Wei Hong was here to solve the rat infestation, in line with the idea of putting the overall situation first, he still came.
"Are you just here to catch crabs, or are you here to play with the water?" The old man asked with a frown.
Wei Hong was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Catch the crabs, catch the crabs, I'll call them up." After that, Wei Hong called all the people in the water. In the final analysis, Wei Hong is also resentful of this matter, if Wei Hong hadn't let them go into the water, the women would not have seen this group of bare-ass old men.
Cheng Chumo stood naked in front of the old man, crossed his hands on his waist, held his chest up, and looked at the old man. Seeing that the old man was over sixty years old and skinny, he suddenly wondered: "Is he okay?" ”
As soon as he heard this, the old man was immediately angry, and he took the cage and left. Wei Hong's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly stopped the old man, glared at Cheng Chumo, and said angrily: "Put on your clothes!" Yu Chi Baolin, who was next to him, looked at Cheng Chumo's cow while getting dressed, and smiled confidently.
After Cheng Chumo put on his clothes, Wei Hong bowed respectfully to the old man: "Uncle, I'm really sorry, my brother is young and vigorous, please don't be like him." ”
The old man glanced at Cheng Chumo and hummed softly: "It's better for you to listen to what you are talking about." It's not too early, so let's hurry. After saying that, the old man unfolded the ground cage in his hand, took out something from a small bottle, and put it in the cage. This thing seems to be a mixture of stinky fish and rotten shrimp, and it stinks incomparably. The servants covered their noses and lowered the cage into the water, and then they all crawled out, not to disturb the crabs in the water. The principle of catching crabs in this cage is similar to the principle of Wei Hong's rat extermination, first use stinky fish and rotten shrimp to attract crabs, and the crabs will look for an entrance in order to eat, and they will be trapped inside after entering. Normally, a ground cage catches up to 20 crabs a day. However, the number of crabs in this pond is large and the density is high, and you can catch 100 crabs a day. However, this is still far from enough, not to mention the suburbs, even the local demand in Liuzhou City cannot be met. In addition, rodent eradication is imminent, and too much time cannot be wasted on catching crabs.
Wei Hong thought for a moment and asked, "Uncle, I don't know if you still have an extra ground cage at home?" ”
The old man shook his head and asked, "How much do you have to catch?" ”
"Not much, three or five hundred."
The old man was silent for a moment, then said, "You wait. With that, he trotted away, and when he came back, he had two more cages in his hand. He went back and borrowed them from two other old men in the village, and he had to return them to others when they ran out.
And when they had laid down the cage, they waited on the shore. Cheng Chumo held a piece of hay in his mouth and kept smashing his mouth: "Mr. Wei, you just want crab shells, what about crab meat?" ”
"Thrown." Wei Hong replied casually.
As soon as he heard this, Cheng Chu stood up his head silently: "What a pity to throw it away, why don't you show your hand again?" The grilled fish can be grilled so deliciously, and this crab must not be bad. ”
Co-authored me to become your chef? Wei Hong looked at Cheng Chumo with a smile: "When you are in the capital, not to mention the delicacies of the mountains and seas, it is also a good delicacy." What's so delicious about this crab? ”
Cheng Chumo smirked: "Isn't what you do different from what others do, I have only eaten steamed crabs, and I have never eaten other tricks." ”
"Are you sure I'm going to do something else?" Wei Hong asked.
Cheng Chumo nodded like pounding garlic: "Mr. Wei, you have always done things differently from us mortals, if you make crabs and steam, wouldn't it be an insult to your prestige?" ”
Wei Hong pursed his lips: "Pull me down quickly, don't hold me up to the sky, I can't afford this big hat." Saying this, Wei Hong has already begun to think about how to cook crabs tonight.
