Generally speaking, most of the wild ponds in the mountains contain crayfish.
"Crayfish, also known as Procambarus clarkii, red crayfish and freshwater crayfish, are generally very adaptable. Their feeding range includes aquatic plants, algae, aquatic insects, animal carcasses, etc. They will also kill each other when food is scarce.
"
"So powerful?" Zifeng opened his mouth wide in admiration.
"Yeah. And crayfish can mate almost all year round, but the peak is in spring every year. At this time, there are almost crayfish, maybe smaller." After saying that, Ling Rui glanced at Zhang Junning, always feeling that Zhang Junning was very fond of him.
Cooked? "If someone hadn't insisted on eating crayfish, we should have had fatter ones in the next few issues."
Zhang Junning gritted his teeth, "Humph."
Ling Rui:???
Zifeng:???
"Sister Ning, do you have a problem with me?" Ling Rui stopped.
"Yes." Zhang Junning nodded, "Reba said, you are a very bad boy."
Ling Rui;!!!
"So you just listened to Reba's side of the story."
"What do you mean by one-sided words?" Zhang Junning rolled his eyes, "She said, you used to hide this cooking skill and didn't share it. Otherwise, when you were filming Shonen Chronicles, you wouldn't be facing a table that was already soured.
When photographing dishes, you have to pretend to be delicious..."
Ling Rui thought for a moment, "I wasn't really good at cooking before, so Reba actually said more than that, right? Otherwise, why would you have such an expression?"
"Yes, there are others." Zhang Junning nodded, and then smiled sweetly, "So, I also specially tested you to see if Reba has said it before."
Ling Rui laughed, "What about now?"
"Not bad." Zhang Junning smiled, "I have to catch lobsters soon. I've been craving for it for a long time."
As he spoke, Ling Rui tied a piece of pork to a simple fishing rod, then slightly pushed aside the water plants next to it and put the pork into the water.
Ling Rui is not sure whether there are lobsters down there.
But it will become clear once you give it a try.
Zifeng and Zhang Junning watched from the shore first, and if there were any, they went into the water.
The line is straightened and has a slight downward force.
Ling Rui raised an eyebrow, it was true.
Pull up gently.
Sure enough, a crayfish with a red shell opened its claws and clamped on the meat.
"Wow! It really does! It does!" Zhang Junning jumped up.
Zifeng also nodded excitedly.
"Okay, there's it down there. Be careful and get it down." Ling Rui picked the lobster, put it in a bamboo basket, and then put it into the water with the bait.
Zifeng and Zhang Junning helped each other get into the water, found their respective positions, and began to follow Ling Rui's example of fishing for lobsters.
Soon.
"Ah! I caught it!" Zhang Junning shouted, carefully pulling off the lobster and putting it into the bamboo basket, "I'm so good!"
"I caught it too!"
Ling Rui couldn't figure out what their excitement was at all...
Just fishing for lobsters silently.
Speaking of which, crayfish in wild ponds are quite easy to catch.
Because crayfish reproduce very quickly and have few natural enemies, the bamboo basket on Ling Rui's side was almost full in less than half an hour.
"Oh my god! This feels so good! Ahhh! You can eat a lot at night!" Zhang Junning was still excited.
Zifeng also nodded.
Ling Rui looked at the baskets of the two of them, and found that they were almost half full.
After a little calculation, I found that at least it is about two kilograms now.
It's just that there are so many people.
More ingredients are needed.
"Zhengzhou, please ask Peng Peng to bring a few more bamboo baskets if they are empty. Of course, if my master and the others want to come, they can do that. By the way, let my master cook some rice or something. I won't do anything for lunch.
The main dish is here, let’s have some fried rice later.”
"good."
Ling Rui also had to sigh that this Wengcao Village was indeed not overly developed and was a good place. He was afraid that after the show was broadcast, it would bring a flow of people here and cause damage to the environment.
For now, I just hope there will be some countermeasures by then.
…
"Teacher Huang, the program team said that Xiao Rui and the others caught a lot of crayfish, weighing about two or three pounds. They asked us if we wanted to go fishing. By the way, Xiao Rui also said that it would be best for us to make a pot of rice for lunch.
I won’t make too many dishes, just make some fried rice with eggs." He Jiong said to Huang Lei.
"Haha, the crayfish is almost ready this season." Huang Lei nodded, "However, I won't go. I will prepare some ingredients at home first, so that when Xiao Rui comes back, I can make a meal or something."
"Okay, then I'll go take a look." He Jiong smiled and nodded, then looked at Zhang Jie who had been busy following Huang Lei, "Xiaojie, are you going?"
"I won't go now and prepare the ingredients."
"Okay." He Jiong nodded, then grabbed the bamboo basket and went out.
…
"Brother Wei Ting, Brother Rui is fishing for crayfish over there, shall we go?" Peng Peng looked at the spring bamboo shoots in his basket, "I think these bamboo shoots are about the same."
"sure."
"Then let's go."
…
Ling Rui put his bamboo basket on the shore. His basket weighed about three kilograms.
In fact, if the guests were to eat, they wouldn't be able to eat this much.
But, in the end, we still have to count the program team.
In Ling Rui's view, the staff of the program team are not inferior to them.
And, to be honest, Ling Rui would still feel a little guilty if the show crew was asked to eat box lunches, because Ling Rui would definitely upgrade some ingredients when cooking.
"Wow!" He Jiong arrived first, "Are there so many crayfish?"
"These few months happen to be the breeding season, so there will definitely be more." Ling Rui smiled, "However, they are not big enough yet. What I mean is, enough for one meal first, and then the rest will come later.
"
"This three kilograms should be about the same for the few of us, right?"
"There is also a program team."
He Jiong touched his chin and said, "Same."
"Is it easy to fish?"
"Um."
"I'll give it a try!" He Jiong took the crayfish fishing pole from Ling Rui and then got into the water, of course, wearing waterproof rain boots.
He Jiong also looked at the bamboo baskets of Zifeng and Zhang Junning, "Okay, this means there are a lot of crayfish here!"
"Ah!" Zifeng suddenly shouted, "There is a snake!"
Ling Rui opened his eyes wide, "Water snake? No, it's an eel."
But on Zifeng's bait, he saw a thick eel twisting continuously, but it did not let go.
Ling Rui quickly went into the water, caught the eel, and threw it into the new bamboo basket brought by He Jiong, "Okay, okay, it's not a snake, it's an eel. This one is quite big, enough for a plate."
Zifeng breathed a sigh of relief, she was really scared to death, "Fortunately it's not a snake."
"Actually, it doesn't matter if it's a snake. Nowadays, snakes are relatively scarce in the market, and some people specifically raise snakes." Ling Rui explained, "Don't be afraid."
"Yeah." Zifeng still went ashore with lingering fears, saying that he needed to recover.
