Chapter 64
Bai Lu glanced casually, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

"Fried snails! Fried snails! Fried snails!"

Delicious things must be said three times!

"Fried snails?" Xiao Wei frowned at the little thing's name, which didn't sound very nice.

"It's called field snails, or snails. Those with pointed tails like those in the river can also be called stone snails according to the locality. Fried snails are a very delicious name."

Bai Lu stared at the little things in the river with bright eyes, she didn't wash the few garlic sprouts left, she was afraid that the ripples would be too big and muddy the mud at the bottom of the river to cover the little things, and it would be hard to pick them up if they were blocked.

However, it can also be touched.

The water of the small river flows down from the mountains, it is very clear, clean and transparent, and there is actually very little mud.

There are more small stones at the bottom of the river, and snails crawl on the edge of the crevices of small stones, or on the mud bed by the small river.

The water is not very deep, you can touch it with your hand, but you have to roll up your sleeves, otherwise your clothes will get wet.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Wei couldn't help frowning as he watched Bai Lu roll up the thick sleeves of his cotton coat.

"Pick up snails!"

Bai Lu was drooling while rolling up her sleeves... Ahh!Bian Kepu: "Student Xiaowei, let me tell you, this snail is very delicious, very delicious, so delicious!"

"How delicious it can be." Xiao Wei's tone was flat, without even a question.

What kind of snail is this, he has never seen it in the small town, and he has never eaten it, so he has no sense of taste.

When you look at the shell, you can tell that it must be very hard. If you bite down, your teeth will be cracked.

Definitely not tasty.

“Absolutely delicious beyond your imagination!”

Bai Lu reached out to the river, touched a handful of snails, and explained with a smile: "Snails eat the meat inside, not the outer shell. Before frying, cut the tail of the snail, and when you eat it, the snail meat will come out. "

"There are so many snails, why didn't I notice just now..." Bai Lu sighed as she touched, her eyes hit the bottom of the river in front of her: "Oh~ So there are big rocks blocking this place, and this delicious little thing almost slipped away."

"Xiaowei, let me tell you that fried snails are really delicious. When frying, add some chili, garlic, ginger... add some mint before serving, pour some soy sauce to enhance the freshness, spicy and juicy fried snails , is simply delicious in the world!"

As soon as Xiao Wei heard the pepper, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and he couldn't hear anything after that.

There is only a hot explosion in my head.

Thinking of the task assigned by his elder brother, he rolled up his sleeves resolutely and took over Bai Lu's snail hunting job.

Eldest brother likes to eat peppers fried by Bailu, maybe he will also like some kind of snails.

"I'll pick it up."

Bai Lu stepped aside and continued to touch the other side: "Your hand can't reach the bottom of the river, so touch the ones on the side. There are also many snails crawling on the side. I'll touch the ones at the bottom of the river."

Two figures, one big and one small, squatted by the river, stretching their hands down, and there were many small things every time they were collected.

A figure approached slowly with light hands and feet.

A blurred shadow was reflected on the surface of the river.

Bai Lu squinted her eyes, saw a certain moment, and quickly dodged to the side.

"Pfft!"

There was a huge splash on the river.

Xiao Wei subconsciously looked to the side, seeing that Bai Lu was still safe and sound, so he looked towards the river without haste.

After the water was splashed, the fat figure flopped a few times in the water, raised two big fat hands, and slapped the water surface indiscriminately, a big wet blackhead appeared, and the flowery coat under the big blackhead was full of water and swelled Like a round balloon, two fierce eyes stared straight at Bai Lu through the gap between the messy wet hair.

"Bai Lu!"

The fat figure couldn't help shivering, shivering all over, and his lips turned purple from the cold.

The corners of Bai Lu's lips twitched slightly: "If you can't buy chestnuts, you'll just use tricks and schemes. Just take care of yourself."

After finishing speaking, he greeted Xiao Wei to go upstream.

"The water quality here has been polluted, and the snails couldn't stand it and committed suicide."

"Let's go ahead and touch."

Xiao Wei carried a small vegetable basket containing snails and walked towards Bailu, passing by a pile of garlic sprouts, he accidentally kicked him, and there was a sharper curse in the river instantly.

"Are you blind! Didn't you see anyone in the river?!"

"My God! Who fell into the river?"

Li Shuixian's voice was overwhelmed by the shocked voices of the aunts who came back with Cai Xin, and the doubts arose again.

"Li Shuixian? Why are you here? Didn't you go up the mountain to worship your ancestors?"

"The river is so cold, what are you doing in the river?"

"Didn't Bai Lu wash the garlic sprouts here just now? Why did she suddenly go up, and Xiao Wei also went, and rolled up their sleeves to touch the river, to touch the stone snails?"

The aunt suddenly realized the truth, and turned her head to ask Li Shuixian in the river: "Are you also touching stone snails?"

When the sneak attack failed, Li Shuixian was caught in the dark. Li Shuixian was so angry that she had to put on a cold face and pretend to be smiling.

A good excuse for falling from the sky: "Yeah, I saw Bai Lu and Xiao Wei picking up snails, and I remembered that our family Zhihai went to the countryside to worship ancestors in the Qingming Festival last year, and the fried stone snails brought back tasted very good. Just thinking about it This year I will pick some back, but I squatted too hastily, too close to the river, and I accidentally fell into the river if I didn’t pay attention.”

"I thought I'd fall into the water anyway, and my clothes were wet, so I might as well touch some stone snails before going ashore."

Auntie looked at Li Shuixian's shivering body and her lips that were purple from the cold, and nodded seriously.

"That's right, the clothes are all soaked anyway, if you don't pick up some stone snails, you'll be wet in vain. Do you want a small vegetable basket with stone snails? I'll throw one down for you."

The aunt was so kind, she threw a vegetable basket down as she spoke, and it fell vertically in front of Li Shuixian.

A burst of water splashed and wet her face.

Li Hongying held a vegetable basket full of choy sum, exchanged glances with her sisters-in-law, and laughed silently.

They are not fools, the water in the river is so cold, only fools jump into the river with their clothes on to pick up stone snails.

Li Shuixian probably stole chickens and lost money.

If they hadn't come back early, they really wouldn't have noticed that Li Shuixian was so hostile to Bai Lu.

Li Hongying was glad that she didn't cooperate with Li Shuixian, otherwise she would have annoyed the other party, and she wouldn't know how she died.

"Since you've gone down the river, you're sure to be able to pick up a lot of stone snails, so we won't pick them up for you. Bai Lu's foot is sprained, and Xiao Wei is still young, so he can't get down the river. We can't pick up many stone snails. Let's go and help them pick them up." point."

The aunt also said very politely: "We have washed all the dishes, and everyone can carry them back. You don't need your help. You can just go back after picking up the stone snails."

"Yes, yes! The river is so cold, you should come up early after picking up the stone snails."

"It's not good to catch a cold after soaking for too long."

Several aunts of the Xiao family asked with concern.

Standing in the water, Li Shuixian tried her best not to tremble, and responded with a stiff smile: "It's okay, I'm in good health, and I won't catch a cold. I'll go ashore after picking up the snails. If you want to help Bai Lu pick up the snails, go quickly."
