In her impression, shrimps are all artificially farmed. This is the first time she heard that they can be fished, so she wanted to try it.
She thought they had arrived early enough, but she didn't expect that a group of children had already come to the pond when they arrived. Each of them sat quietly in his or her seat, holding a simple shrimp fishing rod in his or her hand, with a wooden barrel beside him or her, staring at the water intently.
When he saw Xue Huan and Pei Ji coming over, he glanced at them indifferently and continued to stare at his shrimp fishing rod.
Shrimp are relatively easy to catch because they eat a wide variety of foods, including frog meat, snake meat, mouse meat, and even the meat of their own kind.
Just wrap a small piece of meat on the fishing line, put it in the water, and wait for a while, the lobster will take the bait, use its claws to tightly clamp the food, and try to drag the food into the water.
At this time, people on the shore will feel a downward pulling force and know that the lobster has been hooked.
Lift the rod up, and when the lobster emerges from the water, quickly put the lobster into the bamboo basket to prevent it from loosening its claws and running away.
Xue Huan observed from the side and found that there were quite a lot of wild lobsters in the pond. She could catch one in just a few minutes.
The shady spots by the pond were basically occupied. She didn't want to fish for lobsters under the scorching sun, so she and Pei Ji walked a little further away and came to a more remote pond.
Shanghe Village has not just one pond, but five or six, large and small, distributed around the village.
The place where Xue Huan and Pei Ji came was relatively remote. Few people came here usually, so the surrounding vegetation grew lushly.
Snakes and insects are likely to hide in places like this, so children generally don't come here.
Xue Huan and Pei Ji first cleared out a piece of open space, which startled several snakes. However, these snakes were afraid of people and quickly slipped away.
Xue Huan sprinkled realgar powder around and lit an insect repellent incense she brought from home to provide double protection.
She opened the umbrella she had brought and hung it between the branches above her head. This provided shade and prevented insects from falling into her collar.
Finally, Xue Huan also put on a veil hat.
Now that she doesn't have sunscreen, she can only pay more attention to other aspects.
By the time Xue Huan had finished all the preparations and sat down on the small stool to start fishing for shrimps, Pei Ji had already caught several.
She didn't know if it was bad luck or she chose the wrong spot, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't catch any crayfish.
Xue Huan thought about it and suddenly had an idea. She lifted up the fishing rod and dripped a drop of spiritual spring water on the bait tied to the fishing line.
I believe that under the temptation of the spiritual spring, those lobsters will rush to take the bait!
Xue Huan had a good idea, but unfortunately she overlooked one point, that is, in this wild pond, there may be other things lurking besides crayfish.
When she felt a pulling force on the fishing line, she was feeling happy, but the next second, the pulling force suddenly increased, and she was dragged headfirst into the pond.
"ah!"
Pei Ji reacted quickly and hugged her waist.
"let go."
Xue Huan realized it belatedly and let go of the fishing rod in her hand, which was dragged into the water.
A large black shadow flashed underwater and then sank.
"What is that?"
Xue Huan was still frightened. She was almost dragged into the water by that thing just now.
If I didn't react in time and hide in the space, that thing would have bitten me in half—
She was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat in such a hot day.
"Hwanhwan, don't be afraid, that thing has already sunk into the water." Pei Ji's comforting voice sounded in his ears.
As he spoke, his hot breath touched her ears, bringing a tingling sensation.
Xue Huan only then realized that she was still in his arms. She patted his hand to make him let go and shook her head, "I'm fine."
She took a mint to calm herself down and then fed Pei Ji one.
The candies were packed in an exquisite porcelain jar the size of a fist. Inside were mint candies, watermelon candies and milk candies, all of which she made to satisfy her cravings.
The plants in the space grew so fast that all kinds of vegetables, fruits and melons were hanging on the branches. In addition to eating them on a daily basis, she found ways to process the rest into finished products.
Made into candy, preserved fruit, fruit wine, pickles, etc.
Looking at the large amount of food gradually piling up, she felt a sense of satisfaction as if she were stockpiling.
With these, we will not be afraid of any disaster in the future.
"Okay, let's continue shrimping."
Xue Huan was frightened just now because she was caught off guard. Now she was mentally prepared, and her rapidly beating heart had gradually calmed down.
At noon, she wanted to show off her skills and make a lobster feast for Xue's mother and others.
So, crayfish, don’t even think about escaping her clutches!
This time, Xue Huan didn't dare to use the spiritual spring anymore, and just used bait to catch shrimps.
But her luck suddenly improved. The shrimps were caught one after another, and she could hardly catch them all.
The wooden barrel is almost full of crayfish.
"Send these back and raise them first." Xue Huan ordered Pei Ji.
I stuffed a candy into his mouth and said, "Go quickly and come back soon, or I'll have no place to store the crayfish I caught."
When Pei Ji left, Xue Huan looked around and found no one there. He disappeared on the spot.
She controlled the Five Elements Pearls and entered the pond.
The more she thought about the thing that almost dragged her into the water, the more curious she became, so she decided to go down and take a look.
The pond is full of aquatic plants and the water is not clear, otherwise crayfish cannot be raised.
However, under the illumination of the mirror, everything in the water was clearly visible on the mirror surface.
A rather large black shadow suddenly appeared, and its full appearance gradually became clear.
After seeing it clearly, Xue Huan couldn't help but gasp. What on earth is this big creature that combines a crocodile, a turtle, and a lizard?
It has the rugged skin of a crocodile and a long, powerful tail. The middle of its body is covered with a shell like a turtle, but its limbs and head are like those of a lizard.
Weird and spooky.
Just as Xue Huan was observing it, the monster suddenly looked in her direction, staring at her with a pair of red eyes. Xue Huan's heart suddenly jumped.
But she soon realized that the monster was not looking at her, but a fish in the same position as her.
The monster rolled its tongue and pulled the fish into its mouth.
Xue Huan felt a chill in her heart, and quickly controlled the Five Elements Pearl to leave the water.
As soon as I came out of the space, Pei Ji came back.
The two of them caught half a bucket of crayfish and then carried the bucket home.
Crayfish are difficult to handle, and it is almost noon now, so it is too late to prepare a lobster banquet, so Xue Huan decided to hold the lobster banquet in the evening.
Let’s have something simple at noon.
