The peasant girl in Space is the group favorite

124 - Red Worm
Shopkeeper Tong also took away the remaining half of the jar of wine when he left. He famously called it "no waste..."

Ms. Lin didn't wake up until the afternoon. She suddenly felt refreshed and didn't have a headache like others who would get a headache after drinking. She looked particularly energetic.

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "Why do the three younger siblings look completely different when they wake up?"

Li also said: "I think so too."

"I don't know why, but the feeling of being slightly drunk is really good. I feel light, comfortable and relaxed." Lin explained.

"Is this still happening? I'll try to drink a few more drinks next time." Mrs. Zhang said.

It was rare that the Xu family had some leisure time this afternoon. Qibao and Sixth Brother were sitting on the chairs in the corridor of the courtyard together. The two fair and clean little dolls looked very eye-catching.

Xu Laosan saw that his daughter was becoming more and more fond of her. He stepped forward and picked up Qibao and said, "Dad has been very busy these days and has no time to spend time with my daughter. Come on, dad will take you out to play."

Qibao said: "Dad, please put me down. I can walk by myself." After all, she was not a six-year-old child at all, so she felt a little embarrassed.

Xu Laosan said: "Dad just wants to hold you. When you grow up in two years, Dad won't be able to hug you even if he wants to."

Qibao stopped talking after hearing this. She could feel his father's love for her, so she put her arms around Xu Laosan's neck and rested her head on her father's shoulder.

Xiaoliu also followed behind. He also met many villagers along the way, but they were all elderly. The young people in the village were all working in the Xu family, but when they saw the Xu family and his son, they would also They went up to say hello enthusiastically. To them, the Xu family was their great benefactor.

Xu Laosan also nodded and greeted each other, and the three of them walked to the small river where the villagers washed their clothes. There were many unknown small wild flowers growing by the river, not to mention they were really beautiful.

Xu Laosan said: "My daughter, daddy will make a wreath for you. My daughter is handsome and she will look good on it. You and Xiaoliu are standing here waiting for daddy." After saying that, he released Qibao from his arms.

Qibao looked at his father who was bending down to pick some wild flowers with beautiful colors, when suddenly there was a sound of water coming from the river...

Qibao walked a few steps forward and found red creatures floating on the water plants near the bank of the river. Xiaoliu also walked over and looked into the river and said, "Sister, these are red worms. Last time, Brother Five also saw them." I caught it and played with it, but its claws pinched my fingers and caused blood. Sister, please don’t touch this thing."

Qibao's eyes lit up. People here call this thing a red worm?This is obviously the most popular and famous snack in the past life, and it also has a cute name, called crayfish.

One of Qibao's favorite foods in his previous life was spicy crayfish.

Qibao said: "Brother Six, let me show you something fun."

Xiaoliu scratched his head and asked, "What's so fun?"

Qibao pointed to the crayfish in the river and said, "That's it!"

Xiaoliu was so frightened that he waved his hands and said, "No, no, this red worm bites people very painfully, it's not fun at all."

At this time, Xu Laosan came over and said, "What are you two brothers and sisters going to say?" As he spoke, he began to weave garlands.

Qibao pointed to the crayfish in the river and said, "Dad, I want this crayfish. This thing is delicious when made."

Xu Laosan looked in the direction Qibao pointed and asked doubtfully: "I only saw a lot of red worms, but not the crayfish you mentioned?"

Qibao smiled and said: "This thing is also called crayfish. The name is better than red worms. I have seen it somewhere with my master. It is delicious. I want to catch some and cook them for you to eat at night!"

When Xu Laosan heard Qibao say that this thing was edible, he had no doubts and said, "This thing is very delicate. As soon as someone gets close to it, it will sink into the water if it moves too much. It's very difficult to catch."

Qibao said: "I have an idea, dad. Let's go home and prepare some things. We will be able to catch them." Xu Laosan did not hesitate and said, "Okay, let's go back now."

The three of them returned to Xu's house. Wang asked, "Didn't you say you went out to play? Why are you back so soon?"

Xu Laosan told Wang what Qibao said.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang asked with some surprise: "Qibao, do you think these red worms are edible? But their shells are so hard that I'm afraid I can't eat them. Do you have to knock out my two old teeth?"

Qibao burst out laughing and said, "Grandma, you can't eat the outer shell, you have to eat the meat inside."

The old man said from the side: "Okay, since Qibao wants to eat it, let's go and have a look together, so we can have a taste."

Qibao said: "We still need to prepare some tools."

Xu Laosan said: "What do you need? My daughter, tell me, and dad will help you prepare it."

"You need a line and food bait. Earthworms are the best bait, but other meat is also fine. Then tie it up with a stick. Crayfish like to eat these the most. They will immediately grab the food and hold on to it. Then we can catch the lobster. ”

Next, Wang went to the kitchen to cut some pieces of meat, Lin got some thread for sewing clothes, and Xu Laosan prepared several bamboo poles.

After everything was ready, the family took another bucket and set off towards the river.

When they came to the river, Qibao asked his family to make the fishing rod. Qibao gently placed the meat next to the lobster floating on the water. The lobster immediately used its large pliers to grab the food. Seeing that it was almost done, Qibao lifted it up. The bamboo pole lifted the lobster up and put it into the bucket.

Qibao thought this lobster would be too good to catch!It is probably because few people would catch this thing, so they have no sense of danger and will not let go when they see something to eat, so they can catch it so easily.

Xiao Liu looked at the lobster caught by his sister and thought it was fun. He immediately said happily: "I caught it. My sister is so awesome. I want to play too!"

The Xu family also found it interesting. Uncle Xu also picked up a fishing rod and imitated Qibao, and successfully caught one.

Even Mr. Wang and the old man joined in enthusiastically.

The riverside was very lively for a while. At this time, the village chief came to the riverside for a stroll, and saw all the Xu family members gathered around the waterside, not knowing what they were doing.

So he walked over and saw that they were catching red worms. He immediately asked in surprise: "Brother, what are you doing with these red worms?"

It was rare for the old man to feel so relaxed. Seeing that the village chief was here, he explained with a smile: "These are not little red worms, these are crayfish. They are edible and I heard they taste good. Fortunately, today It’s nothing, just come over and play with the kids.”

The village chief found it even more incredible. This thing is actually edible?He didn't believe it, but seeing the Xu family having so much fun, he found it interesting, and curiously watched the old man fishing for shrimps.

These lobsters reproduce quickly and no one has ever caught them before, so there are so many of them. Even Xiao Liu caught a lot of them. He was so happy that he even wanted to compete with his parents to see who could catch the biggest one.

The village chief watched it for a while, and finally understood the technique. He also wanted to catch one to try, but there was no more fishing rod left, and it was hard to compete with the juniors, so he could only make his decision on the old man. body.

Said: "Brother, it looks really fun to me, can you let me try it too?"

Without saying a word, the old man gave the fishing rod to the village chief and said, "I'll only fish for you once. I haven't had enough fun yet!"
