Soon, they arrived at their destination.
Xiao Yunfei parked the car at the spot where he parked last time, and walked towards the river with his whole family and Kong Da.
"Let's go check if the crab traps have any river crabs first, and then I'll take you crabbing, okay?"
Hearing Xiao Yunfei's words, everyone said in unison, "Okay!"
No one knew what river crabs were, let alone whether the crab traps had any catches.
They are all looking forward to what is about to happen.
Xiao Yunfei and Su Miaomiao were equally excited. When they were about to reach the place where the crab cages were placed, they couldn't help but speed up their pace.
"Here we are! It's right here!"
Xiao Yunfei pointed to a rope and said.
Su Miaomiao's eyes sparkled as she reminded softly.
"Pull the rope steadily and slowly, and don't use too much force. If you break the rope, you're done for."
"I know, wife, I pooped."
"Um."
Under everyone's gaze, Xiao Yunfei slowly pulled the rope.
He kept Su Miaomiao's instructions in mind and pulled the rope slowly and steadily.
He felt the weight of the crab pot and spoke with excitement, unable to hide it.
"It's very heavy, there must be something!"
At this moment, everyone held their breath, waiting to witness this anticipated moment.
The crab pot surfaced.
Xiao Yunfei felt it was very heavy, and in order to prevent any accidents, he spoke calmly.
"Zhang Xing, come and lend a hand!"
"Here I come."
Zhang Xing immediately reached out his hand, and Kong Da also stepped forward to help.
Soon, the three of them worked together to place the crab cage steadily on the beach.
When the crab cage was completely exposed to view, Su Miaomiao couldn't help but exclaim.
"Oh my god, there are so many!"
She saw at a glance that most of the crab pots were full.
No wonder even Xiao Yunfei felt it was heavy. He caught so many things, and they were in the water, it would be strange if it wasn’t heavy.
Seeing this, the children jumped up excitedly and applauded.
"Wow, that's a lot."
"We've caught so many, we'll have something delicious to eat tonight."
"That's a lot. That's great."
"Mom, are all the things we caught edible?"
Su Miaomiao squatted next to the crab cage.
She saw that in addition to a large number of crabs, there were also some small fish and shrimps, and a few clams and snails.
Hearing the question from the fourth brother Xiao Guo, she curled her lips and answered gently.
"Yes, they are all edible."
She pointed to a wooden barrel not far away and gave instructions.
"Hey dears, go get the buckets and basins we brought. Pick out the small ones and the ones we don't want first, and see how much we can harvest."
After hearing this, the children immediately ran over to get two wooden barrels and a large basin and placed them next to Su Miaomiao and Xiao Yunfei's feet.
Xiao Yunfei looked at Su Miaomiao and asked.
"Wife, can we open the crab trap now?"
"Yes, open it now."
After hearing Su Miaomiao's words, Xiao Yunfei immediately opened the crab cage and poured all the crabs inside into a large basin.
I filled up half the basin at once.
Su Miaomiao couldn't help but feel relieved when she saw this.
Fortunately, the basin they brought was big enough, otherwise it really wouldn’t fit all of them.
Zhang Xing asked, "Sister-in-law, you've caught so many. Which one is the river crab you were talking about?"
After hearing this, Su Miaomiao took out the crab claws that the merchant gave her when she bought the crab cage this morning and picked up the largest crab in the basin.
The crab is trying to break free with its claws and teeth bared, and its lively appearance is very fresh to look at.
Su Miaomiao curled up the corners of her mouth in satisfaction, and she picked it up to show everyone.
"Look, this is a river crab. It's delicious."
Kong Da has lived by the river for many years and is no stranger to river crabs.
When he saw Su Miaomiao say that this thing was a river crab, he slapped his thigh in surprise.
"Oh my God, so this is what you're talking about. It has big claws and it hurts. I've been pinched by it before when I was fishing. We're most afraid of it when we're fishing, and we're also the most annoyed by it. Yunfei, is this thing really edible?"
"Uncle Kong, river crabs are really delicious. I'm not lying to you."
Except for Kong Da, no one else has ever seen a river crab.
Xiao Yunfei said excitedly.
"So these are river crabs." He glanced into the basin and saw that more than half of them were river crabs. He said happily, "We caught so many river crabs. What a good harvest."
Zhang Xing rubbed his chin and continued.
"We did catch a lot of river crabs, but they look really weird and don't seem to have much meat."
He spoke critically, then suddenly changed the subject.
"But my sister-in-law said that delicious food must be good, I believe my sister-in-law!"
The children also said so.
"I believe in mother."
"If mom says it's delicious, it must be delicious."
"Great! We caught so many river crabs. We can have a big meal again."
"Mom, when can I eat river crabs? I really want to taste what river crabs taste like."
The fifth brother stared at the river crabs and drooled greedily, and the third brother agreed.
"Me too, I want to eat it quickly too. Mom, can river crabs be eaten raw?"
What two greedy little cats.
Su Miaomiao was a little surprised to hear that the child wanted to eat raw.
She originally thought that crabs looked so strange that the children would have to at least prepare themselves mentally before eating them, but she didn't expect the children to trust her to this extent.
She still remembered how wary the children were of her when she first came here...
Never mind, it's not like what happened before.
Su Miaomiao spoke gently to the children.
"River crabs cannot be eaten raw because they may carry bacteria, viruses, parasites, etc., which can make you sick if you eat them. So for the sake of our health, we have to cook them before eating them."
