Cui Zhiyun watched Yun Wu hand over the things to Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, and quickly said goodbye to the other party.

After leaving, he found a hidden position, observed the environment around the altar, and waited for the official start of the sacrifice.

At this time, Zheng Wan was already preparing to leave the cemetery, the candles had all been burned out, the weeds next to the tomb had been cleaned up, and the worship could be over.

It is difficult to get out of the city, she will definitely not go back so easily, and the Qingming Festival is not only a day to worship the ancestors, but also a day to play and go out, and many people can be seen in the distance on the grass by the river to put paper kites and picnic on the spot.

She also mentioned this interest, and planned to stay here until the afternoon before going back.

By the way, let's see if there are any ingredients here that she hasn't discovered yet, seasonal food is her favorite, each season has its own laws, and tasting the freshest part is what she should do.

Therefore, after leaving the cemetery, Zheng Wan walked all the way towards the most crowded meadow.

At first, she only noticed the crowd playing in the grass, but when she got closer, she found that there were not only many people on the grass, but also more people in the shallows of the river, even to the point of ten steps and one person, one by one, leaning over as if looking for something inside.

And these people, without exception, are poor families in shabby clothes, and the traces of time can be seen with the hand that reaches under the water.

Just when she wanted to get closer to find out what it was, suddenly a person suddenly pulled his hand out of the water, and the violent movement brought a large splash, and she could feel the excitement of the other party when she looked at it.

The next second, an excited voice full of joy sounded, "I found it!" ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on that person because of these words, including Zheng Wan, who was close.

At a glance, she could see that the other party was holding a red crayfish, and according to her vision, it was definitely a very large red crayfish in this era.

So even if the hand was caught by the pliers, it was as if he didn't feel the pain, and his face was full of joy.

When the other party's companion saw this scene, he immediately shouted, "Hurry up, hurry up! Put your hands down, reach into the water, and you'll be letting go in a moment. Be careful, if the pliers fall off, the price will be much lower. ”

At this moment, the man immediately restrained the joy on his face, and put his hand into the water, which was framed with a bamboo basket underneath, to prevent the red crayfish from escaping.

Zheng Wan understands that most of the people in this river are here to catch red crayfish for sale, and it seems that the business of red crayfish must be very prosperous recently, otherwise it would not have caused such a big impact.

She was not interested in competing with everyone at such a close distance, so she could only move her position to another location with shallower water, where there were few crayfish, so it should not cause any conflict with others.

And when she came here, she felt the touch under her feet, and suddenly felt that she could skip the red crayfish and go to eat another delicious food - snails.

I don't know if it's because the ecology here is too good, or because everyone doesn't eat snails, she stepped on a lot of snails as soon as she stepped on her feet, and she grabbed her head at random and was bigger than her thumb.

As soon as she scooped the snail out of the river, she heard an unfamiliar female voice behind her.

"Why are you picking this up? The chickens at home don't like to eat, if you are really short of money, you can teach you how to catch the most popular red crayfish in Luoyang City now, that thing is valuable, even if it is only the size of a thumb, it can be sold for three dollars a catty, and the price of other larger ones is higher, and it must be a lot better than eating snails. ”

Zheng Wan turned around and saw a thin girl with messy hair standing behind her, and she knew that her life was not good on weekdays.

When Wang Yi saw Zheng Wan's appearance, he knew that he had misunderstood, how could a girl with such a good appearance be picking up snails without food, maybe she picked it up because she thought it was interesting.

As soon as she wanted to turn away, she thought she had reminded her wrong.

In the next second, I heard a beautiful female voice sound, "Thank you for mentioning it, I have other uses to pick up snails, not for sale." However, the shallow water here is not a favorite area for crayfish, and if a girl wants to catch more crayfish, it is best to choose a stream or swamp with deep water and abundant aquatic plants. ”

These Wang Yi also knew that such a place had been forcibly occupied by some villagers, and it would be good for a thin person like her to be able to fish in shallow water to improve his life.

However, she is still very grateful for Zheng Wan's kind reminder.

After bowing in the direction of Zheng Wan, he continued to try his hand at fishing for crayfish in his own waters.

Zheng Wan noticed this scene and knew that he had said the wrong thing, just now in another body of water, with this girl's physical condition, it must not be comparable.

So, she took advantage of the gap between picking up snails and slowly approached each other.

When Wang Yi reacted, she found that Zheng Wan had already walked behind her, and she straightened up and looked at the other party suspiciously.

Zheng Wan smiled and explained: "I lost my words just now, and I ask the girl to forgive me." ”

"The lady is willing to remind that it is a good intention, and there is no need to be worried."

"The girl doesn't mind, but I think the girl can pick up the red crayfish in such a shallow area now, if the number of crayfish is getting smaller and smaller, one day the girl in such a place will not be able to grab it. If you want to sell it for money on a sustainable basis, it is best to keep the red crayfish in your own field, even if others want to compete for it, you have to pay a certain price. ”

"The lady said that she raised red crayfish?"

"These red crayfish can be seen everywhere, so the requirements for raising them are definitely not high, and if there are any ponds and shallows to delineate them, then it must be possible."

Wang Yi thought for a while, thinking back to the situation of looking for red crayfish everywhere in these days, and found that there was really no problem with Zheng Wan's statement.

The places where these crayfish grow are a little dirty even for them, but even then they can grow well, and even the biggest ones come from those waters.

However, thinking that these red crayfish would dig holes, and if she was not careful, she would lose everything, and she felt that she still needed to think about it for a while.

"Raising crayfish is not a simple matter, and it needs to be thought through."

"Yes, it's too much."

Zheng Wan saw Wang Yi's hesitation and suppressed desire, turned to leave, and continued to pick up the snails he wanted at the bottom of the river, while picking them up, while thinking about what he wanted to do with these snails.

Unconsciously, when she felt that her waist was starting to ache, she slowly straightened up, and found that the heavy basket in her hand was already full of snails, and if she had gotten up a little later, there would probably be no place to put it.

Looking at the full harvest, Zheng Wan's heart swelled with a sense of satisfaction, and only sufficient food could bring her such a feeling.

Satisfied, he carried the snail to the shore, found the place where he had just put the food, and took out the pig's head meat, Qingtuan, and rice cake from it, and then took out a dagger.

Take the pork head meat that has been stewed until soft and squeezed, and slice the pork head meat into a suitable thickness from the dagger in your hand.

Pinch a piece at will and put it in your mouth, and the rich aroma of marinade instantly fills your mouth, and you unconsciously begin to chew and enjoy.

The part of the pork skin is soft and glutinous, full of collagen, and the fat inside seems to have turned into an invisible decorating for the braised pig's head, and the lean meat is even softer and more flavorful, not firewood at all.

Every bite is a great satisfaction, and as she eats, she begins to think of Zhao Qingyou, who returned home alone, and doesn't know what the other party is doing now.

Chapter 43: Snail and duck feet in a pot

Zhao Qingyou went home this time and was warmly welcomed by her family as usual, As soon as she walked to the entrance of the village, she was specially playing at the entrance of the village and waiting for her younger siblings to see her.

"Sister is back!"

Before she could react, her younger siblings hugged her thighs, and then stared at the things in her hands.

Looking at the longing little eyes of the two, she smiled softly, touched the little heads of the two people, and said:

"I came to the village to wait for my sister again, don't worry, I bought delicious food for you and came back, but I can't give it to you two now, wait for Aya A-Niang to come back."

"Let's help my sister get something!"

As he spoke, the two of them couldn't wait to take the bamboo basket from Zhao Qingyou's hand, although they couldn't see what was inside, but it didn't affect the good mood of the two people.

The three of them walked happily in the direction of home, and met other villagers along the way, and everyone looked at Zhao Qingyou enthusiastically.

A girl who can earn money by herself is a sweet and sweet in their eyes, not to mention that Zhao Qingyou is still working in the government, which is frightening and attracts everyone's attention.

Zhao Qingyou faced those who were inquiring about the marriage, and they all chose to pretend that they didn't understand, and quickened their pace to go home.

And the younger siblings were even more excited than her, almost trotting, while turning back to urge:

"Sister, hurry up!"

"Huh! And here it is. ”

As soon as they got home, the two of them couldn't help but open the things that Zhao Qingyou brought back this time, such as the seasonings, dried fish, and grains that were missing at home, These are two commonplace things, and they felt that there was nothing new, so they hurriedly glanced at it and let it go.

Zhao Qi and Zhao Yun couldn't help but glance at each other, and cast curious glances at the bamboo basket they had just carried.

In the next second, Zhao Qi decisively lifted the lid on the bamboo basket, and a faint smell of grass permeated the tips of the noses of the two.

They sniffed carefully for a while, and then observed the color of the snacks in the basket, and after careful identification, they found that it was the smell of mugwort leaves, and immediately lost interest, this kind of wild vegetable is a little bit of this wild vegetable when there is a lack of vegetables in the spring, and other times they don't want to touch it at all.

So, before Zhao Qingyou found out, the two of them had already closed the lid in their hands again.

Continuing to shoot at the other bags, the two of them soon found an extraordinarily large burlap bag, and it seemed that they knew that the contents inside must be unusual.

The two of them adhered to curiosity, carefully untied the rope tied up, and from time to time they turned their heads to look outside to prevent their behavior from being discovered by Zhao Qingyou.

Soon, with the efforts of the two of them, the tightly tied rope was loosened and fell to the ground.

At the same time, the contents lost control and began to fall, making a dull thud against the table.

The burlap bag, which had lost control, also collapsed in an instant, sliding to the ground, revealing what it contained.

Zhao Qi and Zhao Yun stared at the few big bones in front of them, if they hadn't confirmed that their eyes were right, the two of them couldn't believe what they saw in front of them.

I thought: How did my sister bring the bones back? They don't have any creatures to gnaw bones on, do they?

What's more, the bones in front of me have no meat at all, they have been peeled clean by the butcher, and only a little bit of broken flesh fascia is left at the joints of the two ends, telling the world that these are animal bones, and other functions are useless.

Zhao Qingyou brought water back to Aya Aniang, and what she saw was the appearance of the two younger brothers and sisters staring at the big bones in amazement.

She hurriedly shouted loudly: "Qi'er, Yunniang, what are you two doing!" ”

The sudden sound startled the two of them, and they bounced off the ground and said something incoherently, trying to explain what they had just done.

But in the face of Zhao Qingyou's increasingly oppressive eyes, the two subconsciously stood together, leaning on each other, and said timidly:

"I'm just curious about what my sister bought when she came back this time?"

"It's not greedy, it's just that I want to see what's there."

This sentence is really three hundred taels of silver here, Zhao Qingyou didn't want to look at her stupid sister, but she quickly realized something, and quickly picked up the bamboo basket that had been moved.

When she opened the lid and looked at the Qingtuan that had been intact for a long time, she was relieved, but she deliberately wanted to keep it for tonight to eat with her family.

If these two little guys had done it in advance, she really didn't know what she should say.

Clenched the handle in his hand and warned: "The things in here are not allowed to be moved, they are to be left for Aya Aniang to come back and eat together." ”

The two of them thought of what they had just smelled, and looked at Zhao Qingyou's eyes with their most sincere eyes, showing their determination.

It's just that after this matter was said, the two of them did not forget to ask curiously about the reason for buying bones.

"Sister, why do you want to buy this big bone, a big bone without meat, a big bone that can't be eaten."

Zhao Qingyou glanced at his skinny younger brothers and sisters, and suddenly thought of what Zheng Wan had said, and explained:

"Look at your own appearance, and then look at the shape of this bone, this is what Sister heard from other people, saying that it is to supplement form with form, maybe you two will be so strong in the future."

Zhao Yun didn't react to this, but Zhao Qi was different, he had always disliked his thin appearance, if he could grow stronger, then the burden on his family would definitely be reduced a little, and others couldn't bully him.

In an instant, his eyes were shining and he stared at the big bones in the burlap bag, but thinking about the hardness of his teeth and bones, he retreated again, and looked at Zhao Qingyou tentatively and asked:

"But how do you eat this bone?"

Hearing that his brother's thoughts were the same as his previous self, his originally serious expression instantly collapsed, the corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably, and he said with a smile:

"Good, good! How could my sister let you gnaw on the bones, this bone is used to cook soup, and as for what can be eaten inside, you will know tomorrow. ”
