Manbao's little butt fell back and fell directly to the ground, but she didn't stop, she rushed forward and grabbed it again. The loach slipped out of her hand, and Bai Shanbao caught it with a swoop.
He didn't even pick it up, he just laid it on the ground and laughed.
Man Bao rubbed his forehead with his dirty little hands, then quickly crawled over and pulled the barrel over, allowing Bai Shanbao to catch the loach in it.
The two children had just managed to get the loach in, but they were extremely dirty, even dirtier than the people standing in the river touching the loach.
But they didn't feel it at all. They sat beside the bucket and looked at the loach inside with a silly smile.
Man Bao drooled and said, "I want to eat."
Bai Shanbao has never eaten it. Last time he only caught it but didn't eat it. Seeing her salivating face, he couldn't help but ask, "Is it delicious?"
Man Bao nodded fiercely, "It's delicious, it's delicious."
Bai Shanbao also drooled looking at them.
Big Tou soon found one as well. He was also very experienced. He grabbed it and threw it at the nearest uncle.
Wu Lang quickly grasped it with his hands, aimed at the wooden barrel in front of Man Bao and the others, and threw it again, sometimes in and out. Then Man Bao and Bai Shanbao were caught and screamed.
When the sound of adults calling for dinner came from the village, everyone realized that it was getting late and climbed out of the river one after another.
Zhou Lang looked at the mud on his hands and feet and invited everyone to go to the river to wash up.
Man Bao looked at the mud on her hands and wanted to go. How could Zhou Lang dare to let her touch the river water? He directly grabbed the back collar and dragged her, saying: "Go, Da Tou, take them home and use warm water.
Only adults can use cold water."
Datou rushed up, picked up the barrel, and said to Manbao, "Sister-in-law, let's go home first, with Bai Shanbao."
Man Bao looked at the river water, then at the loach in the barrel, and decided to follow the loach.
When a group of monkeys came home, Xiao Qian almost fainted from anger. She grabbed the broom and took two steps forward. When she saw Little Master Bai standing next to Man Bao and laughing, she paused with her hands.
The broom suddenly changed direction and fell to the ground.
Datou Daya and others all breathed a sigh of relief, and then they became lively and came forward with a wooden bucket to show off their achievements, "Mom, we dug a lot of loaches."
Mr. Qian glanced at the contents of the barrel with disgust, waved his hands irritably: "Go, go, let your dad get it for you. Daya, hurry up and get the hot water on the stove to wash your face and hands. It's so cold."
Tianxiahe, who took you?"
When Mrs. Feng and Mr. He heard the sound, they also came out. When they saw that their children were also covered in mud, they immediately became angry and couldn't help but muttered: "How much firewood will this cost in the winter? You can go up the mountain to collect firewood tomorrow."
Then he said: "You only have two sets of clothes, and the ones you wore before are not fully dry yet..."
All in all, I'm so worried.
Datou and Daya became more sensible. After hearing this, they lowered their heads and worked silently.
But Er Tou Er Ya and Man Bao couldn't understand the adults' worries at all and were laughing and laughing together to watch the loaches.
When the hot water came out, they happily gathered around to wash their hands and feet. Because they knew they had to change their clothes, Manbao playfully splashed the water and let the warm water splash on his face. It was very fun.
Bai Shanbao played at Zhou's house for a long time, and he didn't get up until Daji, who had been standing silently aside, reminded him that it was time to go back for dinner.
Man Bao brought a wooden basin and filled him with many loaches, and told him: "Let him spit out the mud for one night, and then eat it tomorrow."
Bai Shanbao expressed his understanding.
Man Bao drooled and said: "The food cooked by Aunt Rong is delicious. You can eat it tomorrow and see if it tastes good. If it tastes good, write down the method and I will ask my sister-in-law to cook it for me later."
Bai Shanbao invited her, "You can go to my house to eat tomorrow. When I finish eating my food, I will come to your house to eat."
Manbao thought for a moment before agreeing, and then handed the wooden basin to him.
Of course, the wooden basin was carried by Daji.
Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but open her mouth when she saw her son come back covered in mud. When she saw the loach in the wooden basin, she was so frightened that she took two steps back and turned her eyes aside, "Shanbao, you, how can you do this?"
Did you bring the snake back?"
"This is not a snake, this is a loach." Bai Shanbao said to his grandmother and mother, "We caught this together. Man Bao said it was delicious. It was delicious."
Mrs. Liu had never eaten anything like this before, and was shocked. However, she adapted well and just nodded, looked at his dirty clothes, and asked Daji, "Did you go into the river?"
Daji quickly said: "It's right by the river. I didn't touch the cold water. I just rolled to the ground while catching the loach."
Mrs. Liu nodded, waved her hand and said, "Take this to the kitchen. Someone will come and fetch water for the young master to take a bath."
After giving the order, Ms. Liu frowned and looked at Bai Shanbao, "Hurry up and wash up and change clothes. We'll have dinner soon."
Mrs. Liu never stops her children from being naughty. In her opinion, children must be more active to be healthy, especially boys. If you are afraid of restraining your children, you are not allowed to do this or that, and it will only take a long time to get sick.
Therefore, she only allowed her children to climb dangerous areas and wade in the water, leaving them to play with the rest.
Bai Shanbao never thought he was naughty. He watched Daji take the wooden basin away, and then he happily followed the servants to take a bath and change clothes.
The kitchen manager of the Bai family is called Aunt Rong. She has a mother-in-law and a little girl under her. The three of them control the kitchen and are in charge of the food and drink of the whole family.
She knows a lot of things, including dim sum and various cuisines from the north and the south. Of course, this loach can also handle them.
Not only did she know how to handle it, she made three methods at once, loach tofu soup, steamed loach and stir-fried loach.
Except for the steamed loach, I have never eaten the other two kinds of Man Bao.
Mrs. Zheng was scared when she saw it, so naturally she refused to eat it. Mrs. Liu tasted it and thought it was good, so she used it with her two children.
Man Bao only filled up a little bit of rice, and then ate these three loach dishes with gusto, saying, "Loach is delicious, and this white and tender one is also delicious."
Mrs. Liu gave her a piece of tofu and asked with a smile, "This is tofu. Have you never eaten it before?"
"No." Man Bao shook his little head and asked, "How is tofu made?"
"It's made of beans." This was made by the Bai family themselves. Ms. Liu knew that some places were barren and some eating methods were common outside, but not necessarily seen in some places, so she carefully explained to her how to make tofu.
, smiled and said: "When you get back, you can ask your sister-in-law to try it."
Man Bao nodded fiercely.
Mrs. Liu saw that she was eating well, and her grandson, who had always been picky about food, ate more and more delicious food than before, so she smiled and said, "I'll ask Aunt Rong to pack you two pieces and take them back later. I'm satisfied."
Baby, grandma likes you very much. Can you often eat at my house from now on?"
"That won't work. I have to go back and have dinner with my mother," Man Bao said, "My mother won't be able to enjoy the meal without me. Otherwise, grandma, please follow me back to my house for dinner."
Ms. Liu burst out laughing, nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I'll go to your house next time I have time and try your food too."
