Besides, it is April now. Snails are the most delicious around the Qingming Festival. As the saying goes, "Qingming snails are better than geese." After April, snails will reproduce and they will not be so delicious. So the snails at this time are the best, and if you sell them, the price will be slightly higher.

That's why Old Mrs. Shen thought of catching snails. She hopes she can catch one weighing ten or eight kilograms, enough to buy one or two kilograms of meat!

When the family arrived at the river, several villagers were also looking for snails. When the flashlight was shone into the river, they could definitely see the snails foraging for food. One person had already caught half a basket of snails.

The river was not deep, at most just above the calf, so Mrs. Shen and Shen Jianlin felt comfortable letting the two children go into the river together.

Old Mrs. Shen picked up the flashlight and shone it into the river. She immediately saw several snails hiding in the water plants and crawling slowly. She freed one hand to feel for them, and caught four or five, which she threw into the bamboo basket at her waist.

Old Mrs. Shen was about to move a few steps forward, but unexpectedly, several more snails appeared in the place where she had just touched the snail. She was suddenly surprised. How come there were more snails just after she touched it?

But Mrs. Shen didn't think much about it and continued to reach out to pick it up.

Every time she finished touching, more snails would crawl over, as if they were delivering themselves to her door. Old Mrs. Shen just stood there and didn't have to move at all, as there were endless snails to pick up.

Old Mrs. Shen felt as if her hands were blessed. She picked up handfuls of snails after handfuls, and soon filled the bamboo basket. It was heavy, weighing at least ten pounds!

Seeing many more snails emerging, Mrs. Shen began to wonder if she was old and her eyesight was not good, so she saw it wrongly. She shone the flashlight carefully and found that there were really a lot of snails waiting for her to touch in the water plants!

Why am I so lucky today?

I have touched snails before, but never touched so many as today. What's more, there were many villagers around who were also touching them.

Old Mrs. Shen was very happy. When she saw Shen Jianlin and the two children walking to the front to look for snails, she quickly called out, "Jianlin, bring the kids back. There are some here!"

"Really?" Shen Jianlin had been fishing in the water for a long time, but he only found two or three pounds. The two children were very agile and moved very quickly, but they didn't find many snails either, and each found three or four pounds.

When Shen Jianlin heard that Old Lady Shen had snails, he immediately took the kids over there. Hey, there really were snails, and quite a few!

It’s strange to say, there are only a few scattered snails elsewhere, but the water plants here are like a Feng Shui treasure land, with snails popping out in groups. Moreover, each of them has a thin green skin and a suitable size, neither too big nor too small. These snails are the best!

The family of four picked up the debris with great effort, and soon the several bamboo baskets they brought were all full. They had just finished picking up all the debris, and there were dozens of kilograms left!

The two villagers who were close to them were quite surprised to see that their bamboo baskets were full. Where did so many snails come from? Why didn’t they find many?

"Old lady, why did you pick up so many snails at home!"

"Yes! Look, your baskets are full. We've been picking here for quite a while, and we're not even halfway there!"

Old Madam Shen said happily: "I don't know, maybe I am just lucky as an old woman!"

Just as she was talking, she suddenly saw several eels and loaches at her feet. These were more valuable than snails. Old Mrs. Shen shouted excitedly, "Jianlin, give me the snakeskin bag!"
