Chapter 36: Go Catch the Crab

Wen Ning and Ye Jianwen slept for a while, and Xu came back.

Hearing Xu's voice talking outside, Ye Jianwen sat up from the bed and said softly, "My mother is back, I'll go out to see my mother." ”

"Hmm." Wen Ning replied softly.

After Ye Jianwen came out of the room, Wen Ning also got up, and after dressing, she went out of the room, and she was going to pick up Xiaozhi home.

Although the rural baby is in charge early, there is no problem in letting Xiao Zhi go home from the town by himself, but Wen Ning has always been able to pick it up.

On the way home, Xiao Zhi suddenly shook Wen Ning's arm, and said milkily, "Second aunt, let's go catch crabs, I heard people say that catching crabs is fun, I want to try." ”

"Catch what?" Wen Ningjue didn't seem to hear clearly, "Why are you going to catch crabs?" Do you want to catch it and eat it? ”

"Huh?" Xiao Zhi thought of the appearance of the crab with its teeth and claws, and swallowed his saliva: "Second sister-in-law, can the crab be eaten?" ”

"Of course you can eat it, it's wrapped in flour in an oil pan, and it's fried so fragrant, it's best to use it for wine." Wen Ning's eyes shone when she talked about eating, after crossing here, she might not have eaten a crab for a long time, "But that crab will hurt people." ”

When Xiao Zhi heard this, he thought that the crab would use its big pincers to pinch his hand to bleed, and his heart was both afraid and expectant, he heard that people said that catching crabs was fun.

Wen Ning pursed her lips and smiled, thinking that Ye Jianwen happened to be at home today, and it was not impossible to catch a few big crabs for Ye Jianwen to taste, so he said, "But as long as you have the skill to catch crabs, as long as you don't take your hand to clip it, don't be careless when the time comes, you have to watch how the second aunt catches it." ”

Xiao Zhi nodded excitedly and swore solemnly, "I will definitely pay attention." ”

This season, it is the time when the crabs are the most, in the small river ditch in the village, you can often see crabs resting on the stones, or crawling around in the water, and the children in the village sometimes like to catch and play, and they are always pinched by the crabs and hurt their fingers, crying heartbreakingly.

When he came to the riverside, Xiao Zhi was a little nervous, and said, "Second sister-in-law, I really want to go down to catch it, last time Xiaoqiang went to catch crabs, the result was ...... As a result, I was caught and cried so sadly. ”

Wen Ning grinned, "It's okay, the second aunt's kung fu is very good, you wait here, there are big crabs to eat tonight." ”

Wen Ning took off her embroidered shoes, rolled up her trouser legs, and carefully poked into the small river ditch, the water in the small river ditch was not deep, and it was only to the calf, there were many stones in it, which were washed by the current and smooth, and the river water was crystal clear.

Wen Ning looked left and right, and soon found a crab hiding next to a stone in the water.

The crab's movement is not sensitive, Wen Ning slowly stretched out his hand to the crab, and when his hand was close to the crab, he suddenly attacked, held down the crab's back shell, and then grabbed the crab's back shell, and finally picked up the crab that opened its teeth and claws but couldn't touch her, showed it to Xiao Zhi, and said, "If you catch the crab like this, it won't hurt us." ”

Wen Ning casually plucked the aquatic plants by the river, tied the crab with the waterweed, and finally threw it on the shore, and then went to find the crab.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhi was a little eager to try, and immediately took off his shoes and went down, looking for the crab in style.

The two carefully turned over the stones in the small ditch, the crabs like to hide under the stones, or hidden places, the two of them are very light to avoid muddy water, and the crabs can't see when they run out.

After a while, Wen Ning caught a soft soft-shell crab, unloaded the two pincers, and handed it to Xiao Zhi to play, Xiao Zhi reached out to take it, poked it, and felt very interesting: "Second aunt, how is this crab soft?" ”

"Only a small percentage of crabs are soft, most of them are hard, this kind of soft-shell crab, the most meaty, is very small, and it is not easy to live."

Wen Ning instructed Xiao Zhi to look at the other stones as she spoke.

Xiao Zhi was originally very afraid of crabs that would hurt people, after all, even adults wouldn't catch this thing, and a few naughty children were not afraid of pain, and liked to catch and play, but caught and eaten......

Xiao Zhi looked at the crab, which was as hard as a stone, and wondered if this thing could be eaten.

"Hurry up and catch it, don't let go of the small ones, after the small ones are processed, they are wrapped in wheat flour and fried in the pan, and the taste is the most fragrant." Wen Ning reminded Luo Qingfan, don't let go of those little crabs, the little crabs are delicious when they are fried.

"How do you eat that big one?"

Wen Ning said without raising his head, "Put some ginger, purple leaves, wormwood, and steam in the pot." ”

There were a lot of crabs in the small river ditch, and it didn't take long for the two of them to catch quite a few.

"Second aunt, there, there, there's a big one there."

Xiao Zhi saw a big crab with sharp eyes, this big crab knew that it was very fat at a glance, Wen Ning hurriedly moved over, held down the crab and grabbed it.

Lifting the crab in his hand, there was a heavy feeling, Wen Ning smiled, "It's really big, Xiao Zhi is really powerful." ”

Xiao Zhi blushed and scratched his head.
