Super Orchard

Chapter 57 Fishing for Lobster

The next day Zheng Hao came over again, opened the refrigerator without saying a word, took out yogurt and jelly and ate it, like an old sow eating bran, and poured it into his mouth.

Shen Yangguang said helplessly: "I plan to eat this food for half a month. According to your way of eating, I'm afraid I'll have to eat it all within three days."

Zheng Hao said while licking the bowl: "Isn't it just to eat the food after it is made? Why don't you keep it for the New Year!"

Dumb can't stand it anymore, Shen Yangguang will feed him some wild grape jelly or something every day for the past few days, seeing Zheng Hao eating his own amount for several days, he immediately flew up and bumped into Zheng Hao .

Even though Zheng Hao was too fat, weighing a full two hundred catties, he was knocked down by Dumb and sat on the ground. He immediately ignored the pain in his butt, grinned and continued to eat the wild grape yogurt in his hand.

Dumb knew Zheng Hao, so he wouldn't really bite him. Seeing the fat man continue to eat with shame, Dui hugged Zheng Hao's arm with two front paws, stretched the dog's head to the side of the bowl, and licked it with his big tongue. It made half of the bowl of wild grape yogurt full of Dumb's saliva.

Zheng Hao originally wanted to protect the mouth of the bowl, but Ah-Dai's strength was too great. In the end, seeing that the yogurt and saliva in his hand couldn't get down his mouth, he had to put down the bowl, which made Ah-Dai cheaper.

Zheng Hao stood up, rubbed his sore buttocks and said, "Sunshine, what are your plans for today?"

Shen Yangguang was drinking iced juice, and said leisurely: "I don't have any plans, just squat at home to enjoy the cool in this hot day."

Zheng Hao said sadly: "Degenerate! You are really degenerate! This is the thinking of capitalists. It is dangerous for you to think like this! We working people should behave like working people!"

"Then what are you going to do? Sunbathe? I don't have sunscreen, be careful to turn into a roast suckling pig in one day!"

Zheng Hao said mysteriously: "Do you still remember when we were young, what did we like to do during summer vacation?"

"Well, I went down to the river to take a bath, catch fish and shrimp, and wander around for nothing, what's wrong?"

"What's the matter, lobster fishing! I went home yesterday and prepared the fishing rod, line, and net bag. Before noon, let's catch more and make a spicy crayfish for lunch. !"

Shen Yangguang instantly became interested. He remembered that his favorite thing to do in the summer was lobster fishing. Now that he is free, he can fish lobsters for fun.

There are many lobsters in the small river to the east of the village, of course they are all crayfish.

In Shen Yangguang's hometown, lobster fishing is very simple. It doesn't need any professional equipment at all. All you need is a wooden stick, a line, and a homemade net bag on the stick.

Tie the string to the wooden stick, and then tie the bait underneath to use it directly. The bait is also very simple. Zheng Hao bought two bullfrogs, which have been peeled and cut, and can be directly used as bait for lobster fishing.

There is also an easier way to catch crayfish, which is to directly reach into the lobster hole to touch it. The lobster hole is usually by the river, and it is about the size of a child's fist, so it is easy to identify.

If fresh silt is turned out of the lobster hole, it means that there must be crayfish in the hole, because the crayfish will continue to expand their caves and maintain their living environment.

On the contrary, if there is no new mud at the entrance of the cave and it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time, it is best not to go in to dig for lobsters. Except that most of them will return without success, there may be accidents.

This accident was not caused by a lobster pinching his fingers, but a real accident. Shen Yangguang clearly remembered pulling out a huge toad out of a hole when he was a child, which scared him to death. He also heard that someone pulled out a toad out of a hole. A water snake came out, and since then, Shen Yangguang never dared to pick out lobsters from the hole with his hands.

Finding a shady place under the big willow tree by the river, Shen Yangguang tied a bullfrog leg to a string and put it directly into the water. The crayfish has a very sensitive sense of smell in the water, and soon smelled the smell of meat. to die.

Crayfish take the bait, unlike fish, they do not test it. Instead, they use two large pincers to clamp the bullfrog's legs tightly, and then move backwards, trying to drag the bait into its own hole.

At this time, no skill is required. Seeing that the string is being straightened, all you need to do is lift up the wooden stick calmly.

These crayfish are very upright, they will not let go of their pincers and run away because the bait is being lifted, but will get tighter and tighter, and will not let go.

When the bait and crayfish are lifted below the water surface, the lifting must be stopped, because no matter how upright the crayfish is, most of them will let go of their pincers and return to the water after being lifted out of the water.

At this time, you need to use a self-made net bag. Put the net bag under the crayfish in the water, then lift it up, and wrap the crayfish and bait together. The consciousness of being caught.

It wasn't until the net bag was lifted out of the water that these silly and cute crayfish realized that something was wrong. They quickly loosened their pincers and wanted to escape, but they had already entered the net bag, and there was no possibility of escape.

At this moment, just lift up the wooden stick, put the bait into the water, and wait for the next upright crayfish to take the bait. This is much simpler than fishing, and the step of picking the bait is omitted, and the next round can be carried out directly.

The lobsters in the net bag were put into the bucket one by one. These crayfish didn't seem to know that they were about to become spicy, and they were showing off their teeth and claws in the bucket.

When fishing for crayfish, I often encounter an interesting thing, that is, a bullfrog leg catches two or more crayfish at the same time. When Shen Yangguang was a child, he used to pull out three crayfish with one pole. The crayfish tightly protected the bullfrog legs in front of them, for fear of being snatched away by others.

As the living standards in the village have improved a lot in recent years, and many children have moved to the city with their parents, few people are fishing for crayfish here now, so the number of lobsters in the river is particularly large, one after another, non-stop The red and big crayfish were caught.

When it was almost noon, the two of them had already caught two small buckets of crayfish, about a hundred of them. Then they stopped and went home with the crayfish to prepare for cooking.

There are so many crayfish that I might not be able to finish in one meal. Shen Yangguang carefully selected them and put the smaller crayfish into a small bucket separately, and asked Zheng Hao to clean up the big crayfish at home, while he went to the orchard inside.

The small fish pond to the east of the wild grape shed is very empty now. There used to be nearly ten crucian carp melon seeds, but some were eaten during this period, and now only three or four are left.

Anyway, the small fish pond was empty, so Shen Yangguang planned to put these crayfish that hadn't grown up in it to raise them first, and then fish them out to eat when they grow up.

After pouring all the crayfish in the bucket into the small fish pond, these little guys who escaped from death immediately fled to the bottom of the water. At this time, they no longer think about bullfrog legs, and the most important thing is to save their lives.

Shen Yangguang thought for a while, then stretched out his hand and put it in the water, passing some golden airflow into the pool water, so that the crayfish could grow better.

After returning home, Zheng Hao had already cleaned up all the crayfish, and was standing shirtless in the kitchen, stirring vigorously. The bright red crayfish was flying with various seasonings, and after a while, the fragrance was overflowing .

The one who was most anxious at this time was Dumb. Although it was just an ordinary crayfish, Dumb had never eaten it, and dogs naturally liked the smell of meat, so they jumped up and down anxiously without stopping.

After the spicy crayfish came out of the pot, Shen Yangguang didn't directly feed Ah-Dai, not because he was reluctant, but because the crayfish's shell was sharp, and he was worried that it would cut Ah-Dai.

Shen Yangguang picked up a few shrimps, filled another spoonful of soup, and poured it into the rice for Ah-Dai. Ah-Dai, who has always disliked spicy food, was unusually not picky this time. He ate it with big mouthfuls. Wild grape yogurt is even stronger.

At the dinner table, Shen Yangguang and Zheng Hao ate crayfish and drank cold beer. Although it was a hot day and they were sweating profusely after eating spicy crayfish, they both felt that eating like this was the best way to eat. Even better!
These wild crayfish are very big, and the meat is strong. Just pick up one, twist off the huge pliers, pinch one side with one hand and gently break it, the pliers will be divided into two, and there is a big piece inside. The shrimp meat will be pulled out with the pliers.

Then unscrew the belly of the crayfish, pinch the sides, and the shell of the shrimp can be easily peeled off, and the mouths of the two of them are full of oil.
