Chapter 8: Catching Shrimp and Picking Mussels
"No, come up." Gardenia said a little angrily, she didn't have the doting expression she had just now.
One of her children fell into the river and washed it for you, so when she saw Cai Wei playing like this, her heart was so frightened that she was about to stop.
"Big Niu, Ah Xia, why are you naughty too?" Seeing that Gardenia was roaring at Cai Wei, Da Wu turned around to look, but saw that Da Niu and Ah Xia were also standing in the river like Cai Wei, and they were busy and loudly scolding them.
"Eminem, there are shrimp here!" Cai Wei saw that Gardenia was really angry, so she hurriedly grabbed a prawn from the aquatic weeds and looked at her flatteringly.
"Ah Cai has to be obedient, come up quickly, don't want this little beast, it's not delicious." Seeing the scene here, Dongxue hurriedly dropped a fish she had just shot to death that was about to be caught by her on the shore. Hurriedly came over and pulled Cai Wei and said.
"Grandma, you can eat!" As she spoke, she stubbornly handed the prawns the length of an adult's palm to Dongxue.
"Alas! The boy was hungry and afraid. Seeing this, Da Wu sighed.
This little beast, which they have eaten before, has a hard shell, which is very difficult to eat, and its head is easy to hurt people. If it weren't for starvation, no one would have eaten this.
"Grandma, help me skewer and bake! Eat! Seeing that Dongxue was helplessly holding it, Cai Wei disagreed, and hurriedly picked up a small branch and asked her to string it together.
"Roast?" After the baptism of the grilled fish yesterday, the eyes will light up and drool as soon as he hears the grill.
"Roast!" Cai Wei nodded heavily.
"Then brother will catch you!" Da Niu seems to have taken on a big task. With a cautious face, he grabbed a branch, squatted by the river, and soon grabbed a prawn and skewered it in three or two clicks.
"Ah Cai, here you go!" He held it up in front of Cai Wei with some dedication.
"Too little, more! There are a few more strung on top of this. He said as he gestured to the side.
Da Niu hurriedly turned around and went back to catch shrimp, and Ah Xia also rushed over to help.
"Ahh Hahaha...... "Cai Wei was forbidden to go into the water by adults, so she had to walk around the river helplessly, but who knew that she found a big river mussel in the river." When she first saw it, she couldn't believe what she was seeing. After making sure again, he burst into laughter.
Everyone turned to look at her, but they saw her 'plop' and planted in the water.
"Acai!" Seeing this, Dongxue once again threw away the fish in her hand, and wanted to catch her in the past.
But I saw Cai Wei stubbornly kicking and kicking her legs, as if she wanted to grab something.
"Alas! Ah Cai has to be obedient, this will be very dangerous! Gardenia was busy persuading, which really broke the heart of a grandmother.
"Grandma, mussels, big mussels!" Cai Wei was picked up and slipped up, and said to Dongxue with a helpless and extremely aggrieved face.
"Stick? I think you want me to give you a few sticks. "Dongxue is really angry this time.
If it weren't for her quick reaction, the child would have been drowned in the water.
"Grandma, it's not a stick, it's a mussel! It's the one! That one! Cai Wei saw that Dongxue misinterpreted her meaning, and she was a little anxious, and pointed to the water and said.
"There's a stick here and there?" The Great Witch also looked at the water and said.
“?” Cai Wei only reflected at this time, the people here are afraid that they don't know the name of the river mussel, maybe they have never caught the river mussel, otherwise it would not have grown so big.
"Grandma, this!" She took Dongxue's hand with a deceitful manner, walked to the water's edge with her mouth pouted, and pointed to the river mussels in the water.
And when they looked at it, there was a stone.
"Hahaha...... Where is a stick, it's a stone, if Ah Cai wants to play, Ah Gong will pick it up for you. When the witch saw it, he laughed and went to hold the river mussel.
They used to see this kind of thing a lot, and they picked it up and played with it when they were young, but they could only play with it.
"Take it back and eat!" Cai Wei said, saliva still trickled out of her mouth.
"It's a stone, it's not to be eaten." Winter snow corrected.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Seeing that the adults didn't believe it, Cai Wei was a little anxious, and now she didn't have the ability to move this back to the cave.
"Brother will move you back!" Seeing that Cai Wei was anxious, Da Niu hurriedly came over to comfort her.
"Brother is the best!" Picking medicine, her grandma said with a look. I went to the water's edge again and washed my hands again, picked up a few bunches of shrimp and washed them in the water. Awkwardly walked back.
The main reason is that she is a little embarrassed at this time, and she has just discovered that she has a soul in her twenties and has been coquettish to people who are only in their twenties and thirties, teenagers, and even a few years old.
She seemed to have forgotten that she was an adult, and that she was used to who she was.
Seeing this, everyone also washed their hands and washed the fish and shrimp, and finally the big witch reluctantly washed the river mussel with a basin and held it in his arms.
The group came empty-handed and returned with a full load.
In addition, the body is also cleanly washed.
Cai Wei, who was holding a string of shrimp in one hand, was bouncing and running in front of her, followed by holding the shrimp skewers in both hands, although she walked a little slowly, but with a heartfelt smile on her face.
They often don't have enough to eat, and they are even abandoned by their tribesmen, they think they will starve to death, but who knows, they can eat delicious things now, and the food will be abundant now.
Back in the cave, Cai Wei put the shrimp skewers in the stone nest, couldn't wait to stir the fire, and soon the fire was burned, without her saying anything, Da Niu and Ah Xia put the shrimp skewers in their hands in the stone nest, and each of them held a few skewers in their hands and roasted them on the fire.
Cai Wei was also amused to see that the two of them were more impatient than her, but seeing that they were roasting, she didn't have much interest in shrimp and fish.
"Ah Gong, put that mussel here for me......" She wanted to roast the mussel, but when she looked at it, she found that there was no suitable place. Directly stunned there.
"Grandma, I need a few stones, it's this big!" She thought about it and turned back to Dongxue for help, and gestured as she spoke.
"Isn't there a stone here?" The Great Witch laughed and held the river mussel in front of her.
"Alas! Don't want this stone, this won't work! She said awkwardly.
Hum! I want to fool the little ones! I'm not a child!
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, because she was for everyone's better life.
"Okay, grandma will move it for you!" Dongxue saw that her daughter was angry, and hurriedly put down the basin full of water in her hand.
Soon, she held the stone selected by Cai Wei and placed it in her designated position, and under the puzzled eyes of everyone, she asked the river mussel to be placed on several stone piles.
Cai Wei then led the fire and put it below, and a simple stove was used.
"Ah Cai, what's the use of burning that stone?" Ah Niu couldn't care about the grilled shrimp anymore, so he hurriedly ran over and asked.
