Seeing Xiao Hua's serious look and seeing Lao Bian's embarrassment, Fang Rui couldn't help laughing.
After finally stopping his laughter, Fang Rui turned off the switch of the machine, stopped pumping water first, then went down to the pond to dig a big hole in the muddy water with a hoe, and put the diving water in again. He went to the shore and turned the switch on.
Tie it up so that the water can be pumped out more dryly.
Then Fang Rui, at Xiaohua's urging, picked up the bucket and went down.
"Ruizi, you're really here to catch me." Lao Bian said in a low voice.
"You catch him slowly, my brother won't cause trouble." Fang Rui said with a smile.
"Then what are you doing down here?" Lao Bian looked at Fang Rui doubtfully.
"Pick up snails." Fang Rui said, while bending down to pick up a few snails from the exposed mud surface. The water had just been drained, and the snails had not had time to return to the water. They were all exposed to the broad daylight, so
Very easy to pick up.
"Picking up snails? Haha, why didn't I notice it?" Lao Bian saw that there were snails everywhere on the mud around the pond, and the snails didn't have legs and couldn't swim. Aren't they picked to death? Hey
, this is easy and simple, we can do it too.
Lao Bian stopped catching fish and started his snail picking operation. The snails on the mud surface were really dead, so Lao Bian's speed of picking up snails was not much slower than Fang Rui's. This made doing such interesting things in the countryside
Lao Bian, who had been stepped on by Fang Rui, was quite proud. From time to time, he picked up a handful of snails and threw them into the bucket, making a clanging sound.
It's like a demonstration.
Fang Rui didn't even glance at him sideways. He just saw his hand inserted into the mud in front of him. When he pulled it out, there was a gray-black, fan-shaped thing in his hand. Fang Rui washed it in the water and took the fan-shaped thing.
He threw it into the bucket and a huge gray-black thing fell into the bucket, splashing out several snails.
Lao Bian followed the trajectory of the gray and black objects, lowered his head and looked into the bucket, and his eyes suddenly became round:
"This is a river mussel. Damn, Ruizi, you are lucky. Even if you pick up snails for a long time, it won't be as good as you picking up this piece of river mussel. No, I have to pick up a few pieces." Old Bian yelled angrily, looking around.
I scanned the mud surface back and forth, but I didn't see a single mussel. I scanned a few times and still couldn't find it. I felt depressed. Why couldn't I find the mussel?
"Yes, I have better luck than you... Look, I'm really lucky!" While speaking, Fang Rui took out another big river clam from the mud.
"Hey, Ruizi, you are not kind, you are fooling me... Come on, tell me what's the trick." Lao Bian is not stupid either. Fang Rui even picked up two pieces of river mussels and didn't even see a hair on his own. Isn't this obvious?
.
"How did you find it? You found it by luck."
Fang Rui blocked Lao Bian's words, and while he was talking, he took out two more river mussels. Lin Fangfang and Xiao Hua laughed on the bank. Xiao Hua clapped her little hands and shouted happily, "Uncle Xiao Rui is so powerful, and Uncle Fatty is so useless..."
..." After hearing Xiaohua's comment, Lao Bian became anxious and said, "Brother, just teach me."
"Okay, for the sake of your sincerity, let me tell you... Look, there is one here." Seeing that Lao Bian lost his temper, Fang Rui pointed to a strip on the clay next to him that was one centimeter wide and six or seven centimeters long.
gap.
Lao Bian didn't believe it, "Is it that simple?"
Fang Rui said, "If you don't believe me, try it."
Lao Bian dug into the mud along the gap, and he pulled out a big river mussel. It turned out to be so easy. Lao Bian was so happy that he threw the big river mussel into the bucket. He rubbed his hands, and his eyes were on the surrounding mud.
After a quick glance, he soon found a few pieces of river mussels. This made Lao Bian even more energetic. He stopped picking up the snails and instead looked for gaps to dig out the river mussels.
Fang Rui looked at Lao Bian who was very happy, shook his head, and simply followed behind to pick up snails.
The two brothers walked around the pond. The buckets were piled up, and most of them were river mussels...
……………………
Fang Rui poured the snail and river mussels into a dustpan, rinsed them in the water pipe, and took them home.
He took a big basin to separate the snails and mussels. He happened to see his mother Yu Yinghong going to the kitchen to change the briquettes for the stove. Fang Rui said, "Mom, cook these mussels so we can have a good dinner."
"Okay... By the way, Ruizi, I went to the village to visit in the morning, and many people in the neighborhood said they wanted to buy fish from our pond... You have no other plans for this fish."
Mom said, after changing the briquettes, she picked up a cleaned large pig food pot and placed it on the stove.
"Oh, that's great. I'm going to pick them up and sell them in the town tomorrow."
As Fang Rui spoke, he poured all the mussels into the big pot and added water to the pot. When the water boils to a certain level, the tightly closed mussels will automatically open two hard shells.
Just get the meat out of the shell.
However, the mussel meat is full of offal and feces, which are inedible. You need to use scissors to cut the whole mussel meat into pieces, and then put it in a sieve and rub it vigorously until the offal and feces are removed.
Until it is clean.
After cooking the river mussels, Fang Rui found two fishing nets in the main room and picked up a wooden fish basin. When he returned to the orchard, the water in the pond was very shallow, and the backs of many big fish were completely exposed.
Come out, especially those golden carp, whose golden scales flash in the sun, which is very dazzling.
In the pond, Lao Bian was clumsily chasing a big grass carp weighing seven or eight kilograms. The big grass carp was very slippery and very strong. Lao Bian pinched it several times with both hands but was still shaken by the fish's tail.
Water splashed all over his face, making Lao Bian very suffocated.
Lin Fangfang and Xiaohua were on the bank watching him being played like a clown, laughing and taunting him from time to time. This made Lao Bian even more unconvinced and secretly vowed to catch this fish.
