Gu Qingcheng's side, after playing all afternoon, he was also a little tired, watching the sun go down. It's time to call it a day!

"No fight, no fight."

"Girl, my belongings are gone!" Xiao Liu said with a sad face.

"It's useless to look for me, and your belongings are not with me. Orchid's luck today is really good. Count, how much did you earn? Gu Qingcheng put away the cards and said.

I originally wanted to win a big win today, but I didn't expect Orchid's luck to be better than hers. And now the technique of playing cards is also good.

"I've made a couple of silver!" Orchid said, counting the copper plates.

They play very small, with a copper plate as the bottom.

And Xiao Liu took out the belongings, there were two taels of silver, and he alone lost the most, Honghua didn't play a few games at all, it was Gu Tingcheng playing cards, so he didn't lose or win.

"Let's go pick vegetables, and then we'll go to the river and pick up some crabs."

"Then I'll carry the basket." Orchid was happy and went to carry the basket.

Xiaoliu and Honghua also carried one, and a few of them went to the river.

The river here is not very deep, but the crabs are still very fat.

"Girl, what is this?" Orchid asked excitedly.

Gu Qingcheng walked over and looked, river mussels.

This mussel is quite big, looking at the sand and mud next to it, there should be a lot of it, right?

"This is a river mussel, the nutritional value is still very high, rich in protein, but the method is very particular, if you are not careful, it will be difficult to eat, or you can't eat it at all."

After Gu Tingcheng finished speaking, he squatted down and dug in the river sand.

Orchid was startled

"Girl, what are you doing here? If you put your hand in and dig it, it will easily hurt your nails! Didn't you say this stuff didn't taste good? ”

"Who says it's not delicious? I'm just saying that the method is exquisite, and if you don't do it well, it will naturally be unpalatable, but the nutritional value is very high, just supplement the protein, you go find something to dig it! There should be a lot more to it. ”

"Then you wait, I'll go get a stick."

"Hmm." Gu Qingcheng agreed, but his hand was still in the sand.

Hurt your nails? Would she be afraid of this? She's a person with internal strength. Martial arts protect the body, invulnerable! That's impossible.

Soon I dug up another one, which was bigger than the one just now, this should be a lot of meat, right? I don't know if there are any pearls in this mussel.

But I don't think I can eat a river mussel with pearls.

"Girl, I'm back. Girl, why did you dig so much? Are your hands alright? ”

After Orchid came back with a stick, she saw that there were so many river mussels in her back basket after a while, and she was a little worried about Gu Qingcheng's hand.

"I'm fine, don't forget, I'm good at martial arts. Hurry up and dig it, and I'll go back and make something to eat for you. Gu Qingcheng said with a smile.

"Hmm."

After a while, Honghua and Xiaoliu also returned, and the two of them were full of crabs in their back baskets.

"Girl, what is this?" Honghua also looked at Gu Qingcheng suspiciously.

Gu Tingcheng was speechless, the other developments in this era are very good, why is the research on these biological plants not good?

They don't know it's a mussel, so do they know pearls? Speaking of which, Gu Qingcheng hasn't seen a pearl since he came here.

Generally, they are jewelry made of gold and silver beads, as well as jade, and it seems that no pearls have been seen.

"This is called a river mussel, and when it grows big, there will be pearls in it, have you ever seen pearls?"

"Nope." Several people shook their heads.

It seems that there are really no pearls found in this era.

"Okay, let's go back, there are enough, go back and open all these mussels, and we will know if there are any pearls." Gu Tingcheng felt that he was going to be developed again!

You must know that this pearl can have many functions, and it can be used in medicine, cosmetics, or skin care products.

You can also make unique jewelry, which is absolutely priceless and looks good.

Gu Tingcheng originally wanted to go to the greenhouse in the village to pick vegetables, but now that there are so many things, he doesn't want to go.

I'll pick some vegetables tomorrow and come back.

After going back, soak the crabs in clean water first, then wash all the mussels, bring a dagger, and start to open the mussels.

Gu Qingcheng opened many times in a row, but he didn't find any pearls.

It seems that this mussel is not easy to grow pearls, and pearls have to be large shells in the sea.

I feel a little lost in my heart, I don't know where the sea is here! Mainly because of the inconvenient transportation here, there are great differences between the two cities next to each other, let alone a little farther away.

Soak the dug meat in ice water to prevent it from becoming tasty and aging.

"Girl, there's something about this, such a beautiful bead, isn't it the pearl you said?" Honghua pulled it out and asked.

"That's right, it's this kind of beads, you squeeze the rest of this shell meat, there are usually several beads in a shell, but this meat can't be eaten."

"Well, there's one here, there are several, but why is this pink?" Honghua asked curiously.

"It's so beautiful!" Orchid also liked it very much.

"Let's take a look at the others! This kind of pearl is very precious, because it is a freshwater pearl, there are very few freshwater pearls in the first place. ”

"What are freshwater pearls?" Xiao Liu had never heard of this word.

"It's a freshwater pearl."

Gu Qingcheng was thinking, how do you explain it to them?

If you want to explain, it will definitely not be explained for a while and a half, and they have so many problems.

So, simply leave it unexplained!

Now that he has started to work again, a large box of river mussels has taken out a small half pot of meat and a dozen pearls.

It's not bad, Gu Tingcheng put away the pearls and prepared to go to the town in a few days to make two pairs of earrings for safflower and orchid.

If you only have three pink beads, then take one as a ring and make a pair of earrings for the other two.

As for Xiao Liu, he is a man, so he doesn't need it.

"Okay, let's cook the crab first, and I'll process the mussel meat. Steam some rice, stir-fry a side dish, and then stir-fry the mussel meat. ”

Gu Qingcheng carried the basin into the kitchen, the orchid burned the fire, and the red flower put the crab on it to steam.

Another pot also boiled and steamed a pot of rice.

When the rice is cooked, serve it.

Gu Qingcheng only made river mussel meat.

Cut the mussel meat into small strips, so that it cooks quickly and does not get old.

You must know that this mussel meat should not be in the pot for more than a minute, if it exceeds a minute, it will be difficult to eat, and it will not be able to chew it.

But stir-fry within a minute, add all the seasonings, and get out of the pan as quickly as possible, and the taste will be crispy and tender.

So the best way is to put the oil, then put all the seasonings down and stir-fry, then put the spices and spices, and finally put the mussel meat.

This small half pot of river mussel meat, stir-fried with chili peppers, is also filled with two large plates.

"Put all the crabs in a pot and serve them out! It's time to eat. ”

Gu Tingcheng went out with a plate of river mussel meat first.
