Chapter 3: Catch the Sea
Jiang Lingling's hand was fine, and Wen Xian refocused her attention on the slumped banana leaves on the ground.
She squatted down and dug all kinds of large conch and shells inside, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching.
"What's wrong? Madam. Jiang Jingwan couldn't help but ask, "There's something wrong with this thing?" ”
Wen Xian nodded and shook her head, "Come here, I'll tell you." Don't look at these conch and shells are beautiful and big, but these ones are empty and have no meat. You can only keep it for viewing and not eat it. ”
This deserted island was probably not visited by anyone before this, and there are many seafood scallops left on the beach that have been sunburned or eaten by seabirds.
They float with the waves, some are buried in the sand, some are just drying on the beach. The shapes and colors are very beautiful.
Everyone is a woman, and it's understandable that they would love this good-looking shellfish.
"It's okay if you want to pick up these empty shells, but you'll have to pick up enough to eat today." She glanced at the sand under her feet, pointed to the bulging area, and said, "Generally speaking, there are conch or crabs in the sand like this. ”
Wen Xian went straight through the sand and turned the bulge up. Sure enough, a white and tender cat's eye snail came out of the sand.
She quickly scraped the sand off the snail meat, then took the cat's eye snail in her hand and began to knead the snail meat with her hands.
"Turn the cat's eye snail out like this, and then quickly clean the sand from the snail meat, preferably with the sand in the water to wash it. After washing, you can squeeze out the water in the meat by pinching it vigorously, and the snail meat will retract into the shell. ”
It's fun to decompress, it's a little sensitive cat's eye snails, which will immediately retract by themselves when touched, and the sand that can't be cleaned will also be brought in.
This kind of can only be picked up and thrown into water for two days, and then eaten after spitting sand, just like clams.
In the past, when she was tired of doing experiments, she liked to go to the beach outside the school to pick up cat's eye snails and pinch them.
There are many gifts from the sea, and there are many interesting, interesting and delicious seafood.
"Wow, that's amazing, I'd like to try it too." Jiang Lingling ran a few steps to the side, learning Wen Xian's movements, and really turned a cat's eye snail out.
However, before she could start cleaning the sand on the snail meat, the snail meat directly shrank back with the sand, and nourished Jiang Lingling's face.
Jiang Lingling froze in place, and then looked at Wen Xian aggrievedly and said, "It spits out my water." ”
At the same time as complaining, she didn't forget to pick up the cat's eye snail and put it in her banana leaves.
Although this thing was weird, she still wanted to taste such a large piece of meat.
Wen Xian chuckled and said: "That's how to catch the cat's eye snail, you can catch more, and you will have a good mouth later." ”
"And this kind of place with little holes."
As she spoke, she pointed at a small hole where everyone had not stepped on it, and put the thing out into the palm of her hand to show it.
"It's clams, and it's a type of seafood. You can't clean the sand inside, and you can't eat it right away when you dig it back. You have to keep it in the water for a day or two and wait for it to vomit up the sand before eating. ”
"These, these, all can be dug up." Wen Xian kept digging clams and cat's eye snails as she spoke.
After digging for a long time, I saw that except for Jiang Lingling and Jiang Jingwan, everyone else didn't move.
She frowned slightly and said, "What are you doing in a daze, digging it!" ”
Xiaoliu Hu Ke'er struggled for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "Madam, we have this dress on us." It's all sand and mud......
It's okay to pick up beautiful shells and conchs, and you can pick them up by bending down. But it's not okay to squat on the ground for a long time and dig something, and the dress will all get wet and dirty.
Wet clothes are uncomfortable to wear, so it's not easy to dry.
Wen Xian raised her eyebrows and said, "How simple is this, come, look at me." ”
She clapped her hands and got up, and directly took off her petticoat and shirt, leaving a pure white undershirt and underwear, still satin.
Well, the villain has a conscience.
"Madame!"
"Queen Mother!"
A string of exclamations sounded, Wen Xian was indifferent and continued to take off her shoes and socks.
After taking it off, she also rolled up her trouser legs and sleeves high, and the short-sleeved shorts were complete.
God knows she's wanted to do that since yesterday, just for no good reason. Now the reason is sent to the door, even if she is called crazy, she will take it off.
It's summer now, and the layers of clothes are adding up, and it's almost spring and autumn, and she's dying of heat.
When everything is done and she puts her clothes and shoes in her hands, she will have time to take care of them.
"What are you shouting, this is a desert island, just a few of us, what is there to see. Look~ I'm much lighter. You're either going to take it off like I do, or you're going to do your own laundry later. Of course, you can also tie up the skirt and choose it yourself. ”
After all, except for her, everyone else is a serious ancient. It might be a little difficult for them to accept her revealing outfit at once.
Sure enough, except for Jiang Lingling and Jiang Jingwan, who went out to learn Wen Xian, everyone else was twisted and pinched.
Either take off your shoes and socks, or tie your skirt into your pants for a while. I don't want to change anything, so I can only work by pinching my skirt.
Wen Xian doesn't care about them, with the queen as the leader, there is always a time for others to be in sync.
She put her dress off on a stone and continued digging for clams and cat's eye snails.
"I think it's much cooler and cooler when I take off my dress and shoes." The queen leaned over and turned over a cat's eye snail, and was nourished with water, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah, the sand has gone in." ”
"After so many years of living in the deep palace, now that you have the opportunity, why not try to be free and easy?" Wen Xian took the cat's eye snail in her hand and threw it into the banana leaves, and said with a smile, "Don't squat, go to the shore to find a suitable stone pot for stones, we still have to find something to cook seafood, and also look for flat and thin stones." ”
The earthen stove is still early, and of course it is better to have a stone pot. If there is no stone pot, then make a thin stone and bake it and eat it.
"Yes, ma'am." Jiang Jingwan didn't refuse, she only glanced at her gratefully, and then left to find the stone on her own.
No matter how fast or slow the movement was, everyone got up automatically, and from time to time there were screams.
There are so many cat's eye snails on this beach, and there are also many clams.
There are many types of clams, and there are eight kinds of clams that are commonly eaten, such as white clams, green clams, old man clams, flower clams, text clams, Shih Tzu tongue, oil clams and blood clams.
Their respective tastes and shells are different, and the taste of the clam, which is also known as the "first freshness in the world", is the most delicious.
What Wen Xian is digging out now is basically flower clams, and there are also a small number of white clams.
However, so many names are hard to remember. So, when she introduced it, she only said it was clams.
After a while, Jiang Lingling's exclamation rang out again.
"Oops~Help~Madame~"
