Volume 1 Encounter Chapter 18 River Mussel Soup
This sleep went directly to the night, and Yin Ya was sleeping in a daze when she heard the walkie-talkie ticking, "En? What's wrong. Yin Ya's voice still had the murmur of not waking up.
"Haven't woken up yet?" Fu Youting was stunned for a moment when he heard Yin Ya's muttering, as if he had been scratched by a kitten.
"Well~ do you have something?" Yin Ya scratched her hair and sat up with her eyes closed.
"Ahem. No, I just ask you if you're hungry? Fu Youting, who was on the other end of the walkie-talkie, pulled his collar hard.
"Not hungry. Are you alright? Sleepy~" Yin Ya yawned, and there were tears in her eyes.
"Yaya, who?" Ye Ningdan was also woken up by the conversation between the two, closed her eyes and groped her way to climb on Yin Ya and rubbed it twice before falling asleep.
"It's okay, that's hanging, bye!" Yin Ya was also sleepy, and hung up without even letting Fu Youting finish speaking.
Another tent
"How's it going? What did they say? Qiu Ye wore a loose beach shorts topless.
"The two of them sleep, don't eat." Fu Youting replied simply, took his clothes and walked outside.
"Second brother, what are you doing?" Hou Peihuai was so hot, he wore less than Qiu Ye, and he kept fanning him.
"Go to that creek and wash it." Fu Youting replied lightly.
"I'll go, I'll go, it's too hot here." Hou Peihuai picked up a shirt and put it on his shoulder, turned his head and asked, "Yezi, aren't you going?" ”
"I don't want to go." Qiu Ye was lying there, with Erlang's legs crossed, still shaking.
"Not going? You're all spoiled! Hurry up. Hou Peihuai picked up Qiu Ye and dragged him out.
"I'm not going!" Qiu Ye struggled.
"If you don't go, don't go, we all go, you go too!" Hou Peihuai didn't care, he just pulled his wrist and didn't let go.
"Okay, okay, okay. You'll have to let me get a change of clothes, right? ”
"Hurry up, you inkblot, the second child is far away." Hou Peihuai looked at this "mother" with dissatisfaction.
"Afraid of what? It's not like I don't know the way. "Qiu Yecai doesn't care about this.
……
"Look, what did I say, the second child is almost ready." Hou Peihuai and Qiu Ye finally arrived after 10 minutes.
"Second brother, what are you doing?" Qiu Ye looked at Fu Youting digging something under the water and looked at him suspiciously.
"Mussels!"
"What's that? And this is still mussels? Qiu Ye's eyes widened in shock.
"Isn't that right?" Fu Youting pointed to a pile of "stones" next to Hou Peihuai.
"Oh, Mom! Really. Tomorrow I can drink the delicious mussel broth, don't say it, I haven't drunk it for a long time.
Even if you drink it in the city, it's not as delicious as the one we catch now. Qiu Ye was refreshed at the mention of eating, and he jumped into the water to touch the mussel shell.
"Hey, I said you two, can you let me wash it before digging? You've made the water so muddy, how can I wash it? On the shore, I was still imagining the deliciousness of the mussel broth, but I was suddenly brought back to my senses by Qiu Ye's pounce.
"Go over there!" Qiu Ye pointed to the clear-looking water on the other side.
“…… Well, it's so dark out there. Hou Peihuai muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Poof!" The sound of Hou Peihuai entering the water.
"......" Hou Peihuai looked at the water just past his leg socket, with a smile on his face, and his heart was selling batches.
Forget it, just wash it like that.
"Ahh Wo Cao! A burst of pain came from Hou Peihuai's calf.
"What's wrong? Third brother!? Qiu Ye shouted to this side, but Hou Peihuai didn't dare to shout at this time, let alone move, so he only stiffened and whispered.
"I was bitten by a snake! It hadn't left yet, it was going around in circles around my ankles. In fact, Hou Peihuai is also afraid of this kind of soft, slippery and greasy creature.
"Don't move!" Fu Youting walked over cautiously and slowly lay down, holding the dagger that killed pheasants and hares during the day today in his other hand.
"Poof~snort!" The snake was directly killed by Fu Youting, and then worried about the snake's attack after death, he carefully cut off the snake's head and cut its body in half.
"Oops! You okay? Qiu Ye grabbed Hou Peihuai, who rushed up, and hurriedly looked at his legs.
"It's okay, it's just a water snake, it's not poisonous." The dagger in Fu Youting's hand still had the snake body stuck in it.
"What about the head of the snake? How scary it is in the water! Hou Peihuai was afraid that there were other people who would be scared by it.
"You take the mussels back first, and then bring the buckets and fill them with a bucket of water, and let the mussels spit out the sand. I'll deal with the head of the snake in a moment. Fu Youting picked up the clothes hanging on the branch next to him and put them on.
"Oh, good. Let's go, third brother. Do you hold you up with me? Qiu Ye also knew that Hou Peihuai was afraid of this kind of creature, and he was really worried that he would be scared out of the psychological shadow.
"Let's go of yours, it's just a little bit of injury, what do you need!" Hou Peihuai was wearing his own clothes, and suddenly heard Qiu Ye's greeting that seemed to be concerned but was actually mocking.
"And ......," Hou Peihuai also went over to pick up river mussels, "You are not allowed to tell those two girls that I was bitten by a snake." ”
"What? Shameful? Qiu Ye's white and handsome face had a smile on his handsome face.
"......" Hou Peihuai gritted his teeth and glared at Qiu Ye's rampant smile, "Why are you so annoying!" After saying that, the mussel holding a piece of clothing limped away.
"Hey, don't go! Why are you so careless......" Qiu Ye chased after Hou Peihuai.
--------------------------------------
"Huh! What are you holding? "Qiu Ye and Hou Peihuai, who had just come back, happened to meet Ye Ningdan and Yin Ya, who came back at night.
"This is a river mussel! It was found by the same river where we caught the fish today. Qiu Ye put the river mussel in his arms on a clean ground, picked up the bucket on the side and walked directly to the direction of the river.
"Did he catch mussels again?" Ye Ningdan's eyes lit up slightly because of the surprise, and that light seemed to flash Hou Peihuai.
"Hey!" Ye Ningdan walked up to Hou Peihuai and raised his voice on tiptoe.
"What for?!" Hou Peihuai, who was frightened for a moment, immediately widened the distance between the two.
"What can I do? What do you ask? Isn't it? Ye Ningdan had never seen a living, uncooked river mussel, so he was very interested.
"What is it?" Hou Peihuai frowned at her, and she didn't know why she was so excited.
"Did Qiu Ye go to pick up river mussels?" Gazing at the girl's bright eyes, Hou Peihuai said that it was the first time I was looked at by a girl, thinking of this, Hou Peihuai shook his head and said, "No, he went to fill the water." ”
"What are you doing with water?" Ye Ningdan is also a young lady, she has been pampered since she was a child, how have she ever seen such a thing.
"Put the mussels in clean water and let them spit out the sand in their bellies, so that the meat will not get grits when they eat it." Hou Peihuai patiently explained to Ye Ningdan.
"No wonder! The mussels I ate before were clean. Ye Ningdan seemed to understand a little.
"It's different from what you normally eat." Hou Peihuai sat on a simple homemade stool on the side.
"What's the difference? Aren't they all white, fresh and tender mussel meat? Ye Ningdan suddenly discovered that the stinky monkey who always bullied herself actually knew a lot of things she didn't understand!
"Although it's all mussel meat, it's too bad in nature! Just like these mussels sold in the city, they are actually artificially raised, which is like this wild fresh, fragrant, smooth and tender! If you don't believe me, you'll want to drink more mussel soup tomorrow. Hou Peihuai still remembers the fresh clam soup he drank in another forest two years ago, it was really delicious!
"Can it taste that good without enough spices?" Ye Ningdan squatted next to Hou Peihuai and tilted his head to look at him.
"Yes...... Oh, yes. Hou Peihuai looked at Ye Ningdan, who looked particularly good in the moonlight tonight, and couldn't help but be stunned again.
"Actually, the less seasoning the fresh clam soup, the more delicious it is, but you have to deal with the fishy smell!" Qiu Ye came back with a bucket of water.
"Too much seasoning will ruin the umami of the mussel meat." Qiu Ye is really worthy of being the son of a food critic, and he still has a good set of food when it comes to food.
Qiu Ye's mother, Xuanyuan Fanlei, is a well-known food critic in the city and is quite famous.
And few people know that Xuanyuan Fanlei is also a very powerful chef, but she rarely cooks, she only feels sorry for her husband and son and will do it once in a while, Qiu Ye, who has been exposed to ink for more than ten years, naturally knows some relevant knowledge.
"Really? Then we will be blessed tomorrow! Ye Ningdan's eyes narrowed when he smiled.
"You know how to eat!" Hou Peihuai looked at Ye Ningdan, whose eyes were narrowed and there was only one slit left, and let out indignantly.
"Humph! You didn't eat less! Sure enough, the two lived quietly and harmoniously for no more than half an hour.
"Put these mussels in the water." Yin Ya walked over and patted Ye Ningdan on the shoulder.
"Okay." Ye Ningdan picked up a river mussel and asked again: "Yaya, do you think there will be pearls in here?" ”
"No, this kind of mussel doesn't have pearls, this is an ordinary mussel, it's not the kind that produces pearls, right!?" In fact, Yin Ya didn't know much about this river mussel, and it was the first time she had seen this kind of wild one.
"Yes. This is generally not pearlless. Fu Youting walked over with the processed snake meat.
"Fu Shao, what kind of meat are you taking?" Ye Ningdan was very strange about what kind of meat was slender and long.
"Snake meat." Fu Youting replied coldly, picked up the salt and marinated the meat, even if it is fried tomorrow, it will be delicious and elastic.
"Huh?! Oh, my God! There really are snakes! Ye Ningdan hugged Yin Ya and screamed.
"It's okay, it won't be in a crowded place." Yin Ya pulled Ye Ningdan and comforted helplessly.
"emmmmmmm. But I'm still afraid!" Ye Ningdan was still scared and hugged Yin Ya and refused to let go.
"Aren't I always with you? Besides, we still have three big boys here, what are you afraid of, we won't act separately. Yin Ya patiently coaxed her.
She knew that Ye Ningdan was frightened by a naughty male classmate when she was a child, and it took three days and three nights to get rid of a high fever, and then she was afraid of snakes to death.
"Alright then, you must stay with me all the time!" Ye Ningdan still reiterated uneasily.
"Well, I promised you!"
