Chapter 233: The Truth Turns Out to Be Like This
As soon as he heard the mention of his mother, Brother Hui immediately looked around nervously to find his mother's figure, and when he saw it, his heart was pinched, and he threw the basket in his hand and ran over.
My mind is full of, what's wrong with my mother, is she tired? Or is it something else?
"Look at how big this one I caught." Mu Yingbao knelt on the ground and waved with Tao Qingyuan the leather shrimp he had just caught.
Tao Qingyuan just wanted to say that the one he had just put in the bucket was also so big, when he heard the sound of hurried footsteps behind him. He was startled and looked back nervously.
"Mother, what's wrong with my mother?" Brother Hui asked his great-grandfather anxiously.
"Brother Hui? What's wrong with me? Mu Yingbao heard the sound and looked over Tao Qingyuan's body and asked in confusion.
Well? Brother Hui saw that his mother was fine, and he was fine at all, so what happened? He turned his head to look behind him, and a group of children were panting and running along.
Brother Hui looked at the child who told his mother that something had happened, and didn't understand why he was deceiving people, no, looking at his expression didn't look like a lie, because the little friend he had just met, his expression was still very good.
"What do you say happened to my mother?" Brother Hui was a little angry, but he had to ask.
"Your mother is catching sea locusts." The child immediately said, pointing his hand at a bucket on the ground.
"Sea locusts?" Brother Hui muttered, took two steps forward and looked into the barrel, only to see that there was already a small half bucket of 'bugs' inside.
"Madam, this can't be eaten or sold, you see these are all edible." Because Haibei had been in contact with Mu Yingbao the day before, she felt that this beautiful lady was very good and easy-going, so she hurriedly stepped forward to explain, and handed her the small bucket in her hand.
However, Haibei was also very curious, the sea locusts were useless, and they were also under the sand and mud, what method did this lady use to catch so many in such a short time?
"Oh, so you call this a sea locust." From the children's conversation, Mu Yingbao already understood why Brother Hui was so nervous just now.
Haibei nodded with the other children, and several of them thought that this good-looking lady was so interesting, and they didn't even think that this bug was disgusting and ugly.
"Mother?" Brother Hui understands his mother, and his mother will not catch these insects for no reason, unless the insects can be used in medicine and his mother can use them.
Another possibility is that the bug is edible.
In addition to these two answers, Brother Hui couldn't think of a third one.
Mu Yingbao heard Brother Hui shouting to herself, and then looked at his expression, she knew that this kid had a rough answer, but she was not sure.
So, Mu Yingbao didn't squeak, but opened her mouth and made a chewing motion.
Brother Hui immediately laughed, knowing that this was the case.
"Mother, teach your son how to catch this worm." Mother said that what can be eaten must be delicious, for this, Brother Hui has a deep understanding of this, and has no doubt.
Silkworm chrysalis ugly, isn't it? Mother can use several methods, each of which tastes bad.
Knowing that it was ugly, his mother also made it for him, and it was delicious.
There are also the snails that are touched in the pond, the frogs that are caught, and the snakes on the mountains.
No matter what terrifying and terrifying appearance it looks like, as long as my mother wants to, it can be turned into a delicious dish.
Therefore, now that he knows that this insect can be eaten, Brother Hui can't wait to taste the fresh food.
As soon as he heard that Brother Hui not only did not dissuade his mother, but he himself had to catch insects, the children present didn't know what to say.
for what should have been told has been told to them.
Everyone looked at each other and thought it was better to hurry up and pick up the seafood.
Haibei looked at Brother Hui, hesitated for a moment and ran away.
"Girl, why don't these children born on the beach know that this worm can eat it, but you do?" Tao Qingyuan couldn't help but ask.
Mu Yingbao smiled; "The reason is very simple, because I'm smart."
Tao Qingyuan looked at her speechlessly, and said in his heart, don't brag about you, you're uncomfortable!
"This bug-like thing, it actually has a nice name, one is called goby, and the other is called Pippi shrimp. Don't look at it ugly, but what does it taste, go back and make it for you to eat, and you'll know it when you taste it. Mu Yingbao popularized science to the old and young in front of him.
"In that case, let's keep it a secret first, and when we get tired of it, it doesn't matter if they know it." As soon as Tao Qingyuan's words came out, Brother Hui nodded.
He thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, because he himself felt a bit selfish to say that.
When Mu Yingbao heard this, she looked at the old and the young in front of her a little confused.
You know, this older person is a once famous ghost on the rivers and lakes, but now he can say such childish words.
As for the other one, although he is only nine years old, he is smart, and he used to look quite knowledgeable and sensible, and now he even agrees with the old man's idea.
What's going on? I have cultivated two loyal foodies, and I know very well that I have never felt that there is anything wrong with liking food.
The point is, these two's loyalty to food is a bit out of control!
I only said to Brother Hui that this skin shrimp can be eaten, only to the old one that this is a very beautiful appetizer, they haven't even smelled the taste of the finished product, how can they have concerns, for fear that others will know that the skin shrimp is delicious, and they will come to catch and eat, and then it will affect them?
With such a big beach and such a long coastline, it has been called a sea locust for so many years, and the inedible skin shrimp, how could she be eaten all at once by catching less than half a bucket of less than half a bucket in such a small half an hour?
"I mean, people here have been saying that this thing can't be eaten for so many years, and now that they suddenly hear that they can eat it, then some people must be curious? As soon as I am curious, I will ask where this statement came from and who said it.
We can't be too famous now, we have to keep a low profile, so it's not a question of being selfish or not, being stingy or not. Tao Qingyuan regretted it as soon as he said it just now, looking at Mu Yingbao's expression, he was embarrassed in his heart, and hurriedly explained.
When Brother Hui heard this, he nodded again, although he felt that his great-grandfather's words were very important for three hundred taels of silver here.
But my great-grandfather came back to the taste and felt that it was inappropriate to say that just now, so didn't he have to take the opportunity to wash his name!
Mu Yingbao suddenly felt very funny when she saw the old and young nervous appearance, but she felt that she couldn't show it, which would make the two of them even more embarrassed, and she couldn't hold it on her face.
"It makes sense, but I was careless, so if anyone is curious about what we're doing with something, just say they haven't seen it and think it's funny. The place where we live is some distance from other homes, so let's just close the courtyard door when we eat. So, Mu Yingbao worked hard to keep a straight face, and said very seriously and prudently.
The old and the young nodded again, and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, not because they were worried that they would not be able to eat the food resources if they were robbed, but because they were finally confused and would not be considered by her as a gluttonous worm.
The three of them continued to catch Pipi shrimp, and what convinced Mu Yingbao again was that she was obviously the master, but how could she teach the two apprentices to be more skilled than her?
Seeing that the two people around him didn't stop filling the barrels, Mu Yingbao was relieved again, if Brother Hui couldn't be interested in anything, wouldn't he be even more worried?
The three of them were concentrating on catching the shrimp, and they didn't notice that on the rocks not far away, someone was looking at them curiously......
