Little Orion followed Shen Shuang's line of sight and found that she was staring at a dustpan, and couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Shen Shuang pointed to the dustpan placed over there, and looked at the little hunter expectantly, "Can I borrow your dustpan?" ”

The little hunter nodded without any hesitation, and saw Shen Shuang saying thank you while dragging his fat body towards the shelf where the dustpan was placed.

When Shen Shuang stayed in the mountains before, he had seen two kinds of dustpans used by people in the mountains, one was an open dustpan in the shape of a shovel that could hold garbage or soil, and the other was a round dustpan used to wash rice, sieve chaff or hold things.

But the more practical one she thinks is the open dustpan, because it can be used as a sieve to help her catch clams in the creek.

Under the leadership of Shen Shuang, Xiao Orion and Xiao Shan followed her to the stream, under the gaze of the two of them, she took off her shoes and rolled up the sleeves and trouser legs of her clothes, and her white and tender feet were exposed.

She took the wooden barrel that she had borrowed from the house of a small hunter, picked an open place to go into the water, first filled half a bucket of water from the creek and carried it ashore, and then took the dustpan to the water.

The two people on the shore and a little wolf cub who was lying on his stomach basking in the sun were staring at her, Shen Shuang pointed to the wooden barrel, "Xiaoshan, after a while, my sister fished up the river clams, and you picked them out and threw them into the wooden barrel, understand?" ”

Because Xiaoshan already knew what a river clam was, he nodded very obediently at this time.

However, the little hunter on the side had a puzzled expression on his face, he originally thought that Shen Shuang was planning to come to the river to catch fish, but now he didn't look like it, plus he had never heard of river clams at all, so he was even more curious about why Shen Shuang's actions were.

Shen Shuang had also followed the old farmers in the mountains to catch clams in the river with her partners in the same group, and she picked up a dustpan in the direction of the flow of the stream and gently hoeed the surface of the soil at the bottom of the stream, bringing up a small dustpan of sand, gravel and soil.

She lifted her body slightly, held the dustpan in both hands, and sifted the sand and stones in the dustpan a little awkwardly to let them flow down the stream. Small and small brown-yellow clams come, but most of the creek beds are small stones and pebbles, and the water can't wash away the dustpan and can't sift it out, so it needs to be picked out.

She hurriedly turned her head to the two people standing on the low slope on the side and watched, and her tone was very excited, "I got it, I got it." ”

Shen Shuang said and excitedly dragged himself to the shore with the dustpan, and then poured the river clams and small stones in the dustpan in front of the two of them, "Xiaoshan, you pick out these river clams and throw them into the wooden barrel." ”

She didn't dare to command the little hunter, but she was very good at commanding the hill, and of course the little one liked to help out.

Little Orion watched the hill squat down and happily pick up the 'river clams', naturally he also wanted to help, he had seen this crustacean creature in the stream, but he didn't know that it was called a river clam, and he didn't know what Shen Shuang was doing with it.

Shen Shuang repeated the previous action of fishing for river clams, but due to her physical reasons, she only walked back and forth a few times before slowing down, tired and panting.

She put the dustpan in front of Xiaoshan, and sat on the grass on the bank, wiping sweat and panting, Xiaoshan, who was picking up river clams, hurriedly took out his precious handkerchief to wipe her sweat, this warm scene fell in the eyes of the little hunter, a trace of envy flashed on his face, and without thinking twice, he rolled up his trouser sleeves, picked up the dustpan and walked into the stream under Shen Shuang's surprise.

Shen Shuang knew his intentions when she saw him like this, where was she embarrassed to let people help, so she reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes without thinking, "I don't need your help, I'll come." ”

As she spoke, Shen Shuang was about to stand up, but she really couldn't get up, the little hunter had already taken the dustpan into the water, and at first glance she was a person who was doing big things in a muffled voice.

Because he had been watching Shen Shuang's process of fishing for river clams just now, he didn't have the idea that he couldn't fish for river clams, and even because of his great strength, the river clams he picked up at one time were not only big but also much bigger than Shen Shuang.

Shen Shuang and Xiaoshan became a duo of picking up river clams, and she even found that Xiao Orion also caught a lot of river mussels, although they are not big, but they are also very rare, "The river clams you catch are so big, and there are river mussels!" ”

The little hunter's face was curled, a suspiciously red, and he turned the clam from the dustpan and walked into the stream again.

River clams were already breeding fast, and there was no one to catch them, so it didn't take long for Shen Shuang to find that they had fished out half a bucket, and there were still a lot of them that had not been picked out, so she hurriedly stopped the little hunter from going upstream to catch river clams.

"That's enough for us to eat, we don't have to catch any more."

Little Orion was picking up his energy, and a hint of disappointment flashed across his face when he heard this, but he didn't continue, but turned back to help pick up the clams with Xiaoshan.

Hearing what Shen Shuang said was enough to eat, he realized that she was planning to eat this. In his impression, this hard shell couldn't be eaten at all, but Shen Shuang said that he could eat it, but he didn't believe that what she said was right.

The three of them worked together to scoop up all the big. The large and small river clams were picked up and thrown into the wooden barrel, Shen Shuang found that there was more than half a bucket in the end, because of her limited strength, she could only ask the little hunter to help wash these river clams and then carry them back.

Instructing a handsome guy to work, Shen Shuang was certainly not as at ease as he imagined, but thinking that he would be able to taste these river clams for a while, he was not so weak-minded.

She had just obtained the consent of the little hunter to fry the river clams at his house, and she was so hungry that she couldn't help but speed up her steps a lot, "You must have never eaten this, I will fry this with Chaotian pepper and this river clam in a while, and you will never forget it." ”

Xiaoshan and Xiao Orion, one small and one big, glanced at each other, and agreed with Shen Shuang's words.

The kitchen of Xiao Orion's house is relatively simple, and it is estimated that the food on weekdays is very simple, maybe it can be solved every day by roasting rabbit and fish in the wild, but the firewood, salt, sauce and vinegar that should be available are all available, which makes her very surprised.

You must know that the salt in the kitchen of the old Shen family is locked in the cabinet by Wan's, and even salt is a rare thing in these years, let alone such a rare thing as oil.

But this little hunter was so extravagant and prepared so many seasonings, which made Shen Shuang feel that this person's life was not as miserable and cold as he imagined.

Little Orion didn't know what Shen Shuang thought, but he lived alone, and his usual food was indeed quite simple, and even those sauces and vinegars were coaxed by others to buy them, but after he bought them, he didn't know how to use them, so he put them aside.

Because the clams that have just been caught need to make them spit out the sediment, otherwise they will eat the sand, she has seen the old farmers in the mountains put the clams in the salt water and let them stand for two quarters of an hour to basically spit out the sand, this is the fastest way, she has already asked the little hunter to put a lot of salt in the barrel.

Shen Shuang looked around the kitchen and opened his mouth to divide and cooperate, "Stuffy gourd, you make a fire and help boil a small pot of water; Xiaoshan, you go and bring some of the Chaotian peppers we picked. ”

As she spoke, she walked out of the kitchen, and when she was looking for Chaotian peppers, she saw a lot of perilla growing over there, and planned to make a dish of perilla chili fried river clams.

When Shen Shuang went back, the little hunter in the kitchen had already boiled the half pot of water and helped wash the red peppers, and it was the first time he had expectations for a food.

Seeing Shen Shuang walk in with a few cleaned purple plants in his hand, he quickly stood up and pointed to the boiling water, Shen Shuang took a look and threw the perilla stalk in his hand into the pot, and then took a dustpan on the shelf on the side and handed it to the little hunter, "You take this dustpan and take half of the river clams in the wooden barrel and wash it and bring it to me; Hill, you stare at the fire. ”

Xiao Shan raised his hand to show that he knew, and the little hunter took the dustpan and went to catch the river clams, Shen Shuang found a round cutting board made of wood, picked up the knife that should be used to cut meat, chopped the Chaotian pepper and perilla leaves and put them in an earthen bowl, and by the way, he also found a piece of ginger that had sprouted and cut some ginger shreds.

Seeing that the little hunter had brought the river clam to be washed, she walked to the earthen stove and saw the boiling water in the cauldron, so she poured the river clam in the dustpan into the blanching water, and the blanched river clam had been opened, so she asked the little hunter to help wash off the sediment inside, and Shen Shuang himself began to put oil in the pot and put perilla and other ingredients to stir-fry.

Because of the addition of Chaotian pepper, the spicy taste in the kitchen is very strong, and the smell is also very choking, Xiaoshan and the little hunter who walked in coughed uncomfortably, Shen Shuang was a little embarrassed, "The taste of Chaotian pepper is more choking, stuffy gourd, you take Xiaoshan out first, I will fry the river clams and then call you in." ”

Of course, her suggestion was not agreed to by the two of them, and one big and one small stood in front of the earthen stove while helping to light the fire while watching her show off her cooking skills and fry river clams.

Shen Shuang also knew that they were curious, so he didn't chase people anymore.

She poured the washed clams into the pot and stir-fried them constantly, adding some salt and water in the process, and using soy sauce that Little Orion had never used before, which made Little Orion a little happy.

Although the smell in the kitchen is still a little choking, what is even more attractive is the aroma of river clams and perilla stir-fried, which is really very tempting. People, Xiaoshan is young, his eyes are staring intently, and his mouth has begun to drool.

Shen Shuang clearly saw that the little hunter had the same reaction, of course, he didn't drool, but his eyes also showed that he was looking forward to these river clams.

A large plate of perilla fried river clams quickly came out of the pot, because of the constant stir-frying, Shen Shuang's hands were a little sore, and in the end, the pot was cleaned with the help of Xiao Orion.

The three of them sat around the small wooden table where only the little hunter ate alone, of course, the most restrained was the master's family, because he was the only one in the house to eat, so there was only one pair of chopsticks or something.

He temporarily went to the nearby bamboo forest and cut three bamboo sticks, which were the tools for Shen Shuang and the three of them to eat.

"You two hurry up and try it to see if it's delicious, if it's delicious, we'll catch it tomorrow."
