Gao Guojing glanced at the thin gauze and said nonchalantly, "This little injury is nothing. I'll wear gloves when I catch them, so I definitely won't get pinched by the crayfish."

Yu Rujia walked over: "They said the crayfish was found in a ditch, and they don't know whether to go down into the ditch or not. If you do, it will not only pinch your hands, but also your feet."

“Crayfish like fishy smells. You can make a trap later and put the fishy smells from cooking inside. The crayfish will go in by themselves because of the smell. We can collect the trap the next day.”

"I wonder if there are many crayfish there. If not, we'll have to make several traps to make enough for one meal."

Gao Guojing knew that the ingredients Yu Rujia suggested must be delicious, and he couldn't wait any longer: "Let's go take a look first and then decide how many fish traps to make."

Yu Rujia: "Fine, I'll go with you."

Since Duofu hadn't finished school, the task of taking care of Xiaoduoji at home was handed over to Duoshou, who was the most reliable among the children besides Duofu.

Yu Rujia and Gao Guojing followed Duolu and Duoxi to the muddy ditch where they had fallen.

This mud ditch is more than half a meter wide in its widest part, and it is usually used for irrigating the fields. There is quite a lot of water in it.

Doro pointed to a spot with his short arm: "This is where we fell in."

Following his gaze, there were still traces of a few small creatures struggling on it.

Gao Guojing reached out and tried; he could touch the mud, but it was difficult to reach into it unless he went down.

Gao Guojing looked at his shoes and hesitated whether to get off.

Yu Rujia took a few steps forward and saw that some of the shallower ditches were within reach without having to go down into them.

Yu Rujia: "Guojing, come over here and try it."

Gao Guojing got up, squatted down next to her, and reached down to touch the water. The water, which was already slightly murky, immediately became completely muddy.

Gao Guojing touched it several times before finally finding a different living creature. He grabbed it with his five fingers and lifted it up.

A crayfish was flapping its claws in his palm, but luckily he was prepared and wore gloves, so he didn't get pinched.

Gao Guojing, seeing the actual product for the first time, didn't recognize it and asked, "Is this a crayfish?"

Yu Rujia: "Yes, this is it, there are about two or three ounces, right?"

Judging by its appearance, it's longer than Gao Guojing's palm; it's definitely a top-quality wild crayfish. They're in for a treat.

Gao Guojing weighed the crayfish in his hand: "It's about three ounces. It's this big, so there must be a lot of meat inside, right?"

Yu Rujia: "There isn't much meat in the crayfish, but you should be able to pick out about a finger's length of meat from a crayfish this big, enough for two or three bites."

Duolu stretched out his hands and made a big circle: "Uncle Guojing, I can eat so many crayfish, please catch more."

Gao Guojing nodded: "I need to work harder. Each shrimp only takes two or three bites, so I need to catch at least a hundred to give my family a taste."

Yu Rujia: "If the quantity is small, we'll go back and make more traps, and set them up in several places. We'll definitely have a good catch tomorrow."

Kao Kuo-Ching: "I'll try it first. If I can't catch it, I'll make a trap."

Duolu couldn't wait until tomorrow, worried that Yu Rujia would say she wanted to go back, and the little guy was so anxious that he stretched his hand into the ditch.

Yu Rujia was talking to Gao Guojing and didn't notice his little actions. She was startled by Duoxi's shout.

The two turned around and saw Duoxi using her uninjured hand to grab Duolu: "Second brother, you're not wearing gloves, you can't grab me, you'll get pinched."

Yu Rujia walked over and picked up Duolu's small body: "What, do you want to get a few bloody holes in your body like Duoxi?"

Doro looked away guiltily, muttering, "Auntie, I want to catch more crayfish to take home."

Gao Guojing caught another crayfish and brought it up, reassuring his friend, "Don't worry, Duolu, there are plenty of crayfish here. I'll make sure you eat your fill."

Duolu's dejected mood immediately vanished, and he regained his energy. He struggled to look at the crayfish that Rujia had caught, and a big smile appeared on his little face: "Uncle Guojing is so great!"

Yu Rujia put the little guy on the ground and warned, "If you put your hand into the ditch again, you won't be allowed to eat crayfish today."

With this threat in mind, Duolu finally gave up the idea of ​​catching crayfish in the ditch.

As Gao Guojing was groping around in the ditch, he touched something hard and found it. With some effort, he pulled it out and discovered it was a seashell bigger than his palm.

Gao Guojing held up the seashell and said, "Sister Rujia, do you know how to make seashells?"

Yu Rujia looked over and was immediately attracted by the seashell in his hand: "It can be made. This kind of seashell is delicious. Whether it's stir-fried or used in soup, it's especially fresh. Touch it."

They saw some shells when they went to collect snails last time, but they were too small, not much bigger than clams, and there weren't many of them, so Yu Rujia didn't mention them.

I never expected there to be such big seashells here. A dozen or so seashells could make a big pot of stir-fry. It's another delicious dish I've missed for four years.

Duolu said excitedly, "Auntie, I saw these kinds of seashells in the pond. I'll bring them back next time to cook for you."

Duoxi paused for a moment, then tilted her little head to look at the big seashell: "We didn't know this kind of thing was edible before, so we gave it all to Brother Gou Dan to feed the chickens. We won't give it to Brother Gou Dan anymore; we're going to take it back and eat it ourselves."

Yu Rujia tapped the two little heads: "You are not allowed to go into the pond when there are no adults or your older brother around, understand? If I find out that either of you is disobedient, I will have Duoshou put some medicine on you."

Besides Dorje, all four of the older children in the family can swim.

However, they were too young and their minds were not settled. Yu Rujia was worried that they would act recklessly if they encountered danger in the water.

Duofu is young, steady in his actions, and highly skilled in martial arts. With him around, he can rescue the children if they encounter danger. Yu Rujia and the others are quite at ease having him look after the children.

Gao Guojing didn't expect that his casual question would get an affirmative answer from Yu Rujia. He also got another kind of delicious food. Gao Guojing was even more motivated and kept groping around in the ditch.

Nobody eats crayfish these days, and the number of crayfish in the mud hooks is beyond Yu Rujia's imagination. Gao Guojing can sometimes catch several in a minute.

Yu Rujia: "I didn't expect there to be so many crayfish here. We've hit the jackpot. When we get back, we'll make two traps and put them here. The crayfish we harvest the next day will be enough for a meal."

Duolu said happily, "Then we can eat crayfish every day, right?"

Duoxi's eyes sparkled: "That's great! We can eat crayfish every day now!"

The two little ones never thought that crayfish would taste bad. They insisted that any food that Yu Rujia specifically mentioned must be so delicious that people couldn't stop eating it.
