Chapter 221: Fishing for Crickets by the River
After drinking two bottles of milk powder, the little tiger boy Atai went back to the nest and slept on his stomach with satisfaction, ignoring no one.
Zhou Tiantian originally wanted to play with Atai for a while, but when he saw Atai's sleepy appearance, he was reluctant to disturb him.
The little tiger went to sleep, and the children discussed what to do.
The Zhou Tiantian sisters planned to dismantle and wash the futon for Old Man Han, and Han Zhenyuan planned to go into the forest to dig gastrodia.
At this time, gastrodia has already bloomed, and if you don't hurry up and dig it, the big gastrodia in the ground will be hollow and rotten.
Gastrodia is a kind of precious medicinal material, the purchase station has a receipt, the price is not low, the dry goods are a few dollars a catty, Han Zhenyuan wants to dig and sell more pocket money.
"Let's accompany Tian Tian and Yanyan to the river to wash the futon first, don't forget the wild boar I met last year.
Leave the two of them by the river, what if there is any danger? Chang Yanzhe didn't dare to let Zhou Tiantian out of his sight.
This baby has frequent accidents on the mountain, although every time it can turn danger into a disaster and gain something, but who dares to say that it is so good luck every time?
If something happens, you'll regret it for the rest of your life.
Han Zhenyuan also heard that his little cousin was a bit evil, as long as he entered the mountain, he would definitely encounter something, so it was better to be careful.
"That's it, let's take the net and the fish dock and follow them to the river, they wash their clothes and bedding, and let's go fish and catch crickets.
The cricket made last time was very delicious, anyway, it's nothing, let's eat it again in the evening. ”
Anyway, they have nothing to do when they are idle, they just come up the mountain to play, and they can do anything.
Chang Yanzhe heard that it was feasible, so the Zhou Tiantian sisters went into the house and dismantled the bedding of Old Man Han and Han Lixin.
Han Zhenyuan and Chang Yanzhe helped to carry a large basin with a quilt and a sheet, and several people went to the river together.
The water of the trough river is still crystal clear, the water is very cold, stepping on the river water barefoot, bursts of coolness come up from the soles of the feet, making people's hearts feel a little cool.
The breeze blows, the willows by the river sway in the wind, and the summer heat is also gone with the wind, which only makes people feel very comfortable.
"It would be nice if there was watermelon, throw it in the river and soak it, and wait for it to cool down and eat it.
It's okay to have soda, put the soda in the river and drink a bottle of it, how good? ”
Zhou Tiantian stepped on the water, felt the coolness of the river, and said comfortably and with a little regret.
More than watermelon soda? Zhou Tiantian thinks that with such a good scenery and such a good environment, there should be a barbecue by the river.
Grilling meat and drinking a cold beer is a real treat.
It's a pity, barbecue hasn't become popular these days, and you can't even get a barbecue stove, besides, most people are reluctant to buy a lot of meat to grill and eat.
"I don't think I can buy watermelon, but soda is easy, just talk to my dad when he comes home tonight.
Tomorrow Zhenhui and they will all come up and let them bring a box. Zhenyuan laughed when he heard it.
The little cousin really knows how to ponder, not to mention, it feels really good to drink a bottle of cool soda on this hot day.
Zhou Tiantian's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Well, then it's better to let the second uncle bring some tofu and some seasonings."
When the time comes, we will stew fish by the river and eat, and the small river fish stewed tofu tastes the best. "What else can I do when I'm idle, but I want to eat?
"Yes, yes, you still have more ideas.
You see, I didn't say it when I was at home, but if I did, we would have eaten stewed tofu here at noon today. Han Zhenyuan said with some regret.
Zhou Tiantian smiled embarrassedly, "I only remembered it when I came to the riverside." ”
Before, I was worried about the little tiger boy, so I wanted to come up and pet the big cat, and I didn't think about anything else, but I came to the riverside to get inspiration.
"It's okay, it's not too late, it's not interesting for a few of us to play, tomorrow the little brother and they will all have a holiday, and it will be lively when there are more people."
Han Zhenyuan thought about it, it's fun when there are more people, and the four of them are too boring.
"Yes, then tomorrow, Yan Zhe and I will go to the fishing net first, maybe we can catch a few fish or something, let's stew a pot of fish at noon today."
After speaking, Han Zhenyuan and Chang Yanzhe took fishing nets, fish docks and other things, and found suitable places along the river to set up the docks.
When these are all done, the two of them will turn over the stones to catch crickets, anyway, there are a lot of delicious foods in the river, just grab a little anything.
The two boys went to catch crickets, and Zhou Tiantian and the second sister sat on the big stone to wash the sheets and sheets.
Soak it in water first, then take it and beat it with a wooden stick, beat it for a while, then throw it into the river water to wash, and then apply soap to beat it, and then throw it into the water to rinse it clean.
It's simple, but it's actually very tiring, mainly because the sheets are very large, and Zhou Tiantian's strength is small, and it takes a little effort to wash.
Zhou Yanyan saw it, hurriedly snatched the big sheet, and threw Zhou Tiantian a mattress sheet, the mattress sheet was smaller, and Zhou Tiantian could wash it easier.
The sisters were not slow to work, and the two sets of quilts were quickly washed and dried directly on the willow trees on the shore.
After that, the two of them also went into the water and rummaged in the water for crickets.
"Tiantian, come, give you this." Chang Yanzhe took a six-branch straw hat and put it on Zhou Tiantian, "The sun by the river is actually very poisonous, don't burn your face." ”
Zhou Tiantian's little face is white and tender, and it is easy to get sunburned if she doesn't protect it well.
Chang Yanzhe was secretly annoyed, he forgot to give Zhou Tiantian some sunscreen potion before going up the mountain, so he could only pay more attention and find a way to remedy it when he went home.
"Well, thank you, Brother Yanzhe." Zhou Tiantian happily wore a wicker straw hat, rolled up his trouser legs high, stepped on the sand and gravel in the river, and looked down for crickets.
"The crickets caught so little are small, wait a minute, I'll teach you a way."
Chang Yanzhe dragged Zhou Tiantian to a fish dock, not to mention, the harvest was very large, and there were many large and small fish in it.
Chang Yanzhe poured the fish from the fish dock into the bucket, then scooped up a noodle fish half a foot long with a finger, lightly smashed it with a stone, and tied it to a wicker.
"Let's go, I'll teach you how to fish for crickets."
As he spoke, Chang Yanzhe led Zhou Tiantian to the deep water, and the two of them sat on the big stone in the river, and stretched the long wicker with the end of the fish into the river.
After a while, he felt that the wicker suddenly sank, Chang Yanzhe hurriedly pulled the wicker out, and sure enough, there was a big cricket hanging at the end of the wicker.
"The cricket is greedy, and it loves to eat carrion, look, it's all out of the water, and it's so greedy that you refuse to let go of the tongs."
Chang Yanzhe smiled while retracting the wicker and picking off the extra-large cricket at the end.
"The crickets caught like this are all big, and they are very good to cook and eat." After saying that, he put the wicker into the water again.
Now at this time, the environmental damage is not so serious, and this place is far away from people's homes, and there are many big crickets.
Not long after the wicker entered the water, another cricket was caught and caught, which was bigger than the one just now, not counting the previous one, but the body alone was also a palm.
"Wow, such a big cricket, it's amazing, Brother Yanzhe, let me come, I'll try."
Zhou Tiantian was very excited, and hurriedly reached out to take the wicker and stretched it into the water.
