Half an hour later, the five people who were busy in the river came ashore.
Ning Xiyue walked to the basket of lobsters with a happy face, carrying a basket.
With a "splash", she poured all the success in the basket into the backpack.
The other four also came back with their own results.
The basket carried by Chen Yetu was full, and the straw hats held by Liu Yao, Yu Zhiyu and Ning Qingyuan were also full of things.
Everyone happily poured what they had gotten into the backpack.
"Wow, this is quite a lot, enough to stir-fry a whole dish." Ning Qingyuan shook the backpack from side to side to check what was inside.
"That's enough, I can definitely make a big plate of it." Ning Xiyue leaned over to take a look.
I caught a lot of lobsters in the backpack, estimated to be about five pounds, and after frying they can fill two plates.
Some small crabs and river shrimps were also caught. The crabs were green-shell crabs, not very big, the kind that you can eat one in one bite when fried.
The river shrimps were even smaller, and the larger ones were only as big as her little finger, but they had long legs.
The local small river shrimps have crystal clear meat, and there are also a handful of millet shrimps, the kind used to make drunken shrimps, the color is really attractive. When you eat one raw, you can find that the meat has a hint of sweetness and is extremely tender.
Ning Xiyue scooped up the handful of fish using several small grass nets.
She caught him just for her leftover rice wine.
Use it to make drunken shrimp.
Of course, the backpack is filled with specially picked river clams, which are the second most common thing after snails.
She also picked up three large river clams. She picked up these two kinds of things with shells on purpose because she was attracted by their shells.
Eat the meat and keep the shell, making the best use of it.
Today's results are encouraging.
"Almost done, let's go back."
Ning Xiyue looked at the crayfish and crabs crawling around in the backpack with satisfaction. When catching shrimps, she secretly put a few crayfish in the space pond. There should be a lot of shrimps next year.
"Okay, go back and cook dinner. Today's meal is quite rich. I'll fry all the little things like snails, lobsters, and clams."
Chen Yechu was very satisfied with this trip. He also helped them find a lobster nest. Whenever they wanted to eat lobsters in the future, they could come here to catch them. This would allow them to have lobster freedom. They were wild lobsters, so they must taste good.
"Let's go, let's go back. I'm so looking forward to it." Liu Yao excitedly picked up her backpack and put it on her back.
Others also packed up and prepared to go home.
"Let's go, little sister. You carry this backpack of mine, be gentle."
Ning Qingyuan handed his backpack to Ning Xiyue, and he carried the backpack containing the lobsters on his back.
Yu Zhiyu helped Chen Yetu carry the snails.
The five people came with great excitement and returned with a full load, happily carrying today's spoils back.
Go straight to Ning Xiyue and Chen Yechu’s small kitchen.
After returning, Ning Xiyue saw three little chickens leisurely walking around in the pen looking for food. Xiaohui and Xiaobai from Chen Yechu's family were sitting by the chicken coop watching the three chickens.
Ning Xiyue saw Xiao Hui running over and smiled knowingly. He was really obedient. He stayed there obediently when she asked him to. She patted Xiao Hui's head and said, "Xiao Hui, good job. Go play."
Ning Qingyuan put a handful of snails in the back of his backpack and carried them into the chicken coop. He crushed them with stones and fed them to the chickens.
Unexpectedly, the three chickens really liked it and were vying for it to eat.
"Sure, brother. You're quite good at raising chickens." Ning Xiyue gave a thumbs up.
"Calm down." Ning Qingyuan accepted it naturally. He left the chicken coop, washed his hands, and said to Ning Xiyue, "Go learn how to make wine. Leave this to us. You can have a delicious dinner when you come back."
"Yes, brewing wine." Ning Xiyue saw that it was almost the appointed time, so she put down everything and prepared to leave, but she didn't forget to give a few instructions: "Remember to cook the duck with my rice wine, and add more side dishes, such as flatbread, potatoes, and dried mushrooms. Use the rice wine to soak the shrimps."
Chen Yechu smiled and agreed: "I know, I'll prepare enough side dishes. Go quickly, I'm still waiting for you to learn how to make some rice wine for me."
"I'll leave the preparation of dinner tonight to you, please." Ning Xiyue waved her hand and ran out quickly.
Ning Qingyuan and the other three were left standing there, smiling as they watched her running away.
After everyone looked away, Ning Qingyuan clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention and said to them, "I have a suggestion. Let's cook in both kitchens. Zhiyu and I will use my sister's kitchen, and you two female comrades can use Comrade Ye Chu's kitchen. How do you think?"
"I agree. Let's do it this way." Chen Yechu nodded in agreement with the proposal and expressed his own thoughts: "Then let's make these dishes together. After the side dishes are ready, you can cook the duck and drunken shrimp, and we'll cook the rest of the dishes. I'll use my small stove to steam the rice. Is that okay?"
Yu Zhiyu was the first to nod: "Okay."
This was agreed upon before.
"Okay, let's get started." Ning Qingyuan clapped his hands and opened the kitchen door.
All four of them started to move.
Although the growth environment of snails and river clams is good and the water is good, Chen Yechu still raised the snails and river clams with clean water after returning, spitting out the mud and sand, and saving them for the last one.
Then I found a basin to put the lobsters and crabs in.
Because there were so many lobsters, Chen Yechu, Liu Yao and Yu Zhiyu worked together to wash the lobsters, remove the shrimp threads, cut the heads and remove the gills.
Ning Qingyuan was slaughtering a duck nearby.
Suddenly, he remembered that when he was slaughtering a rabbit, his sister asked him to cut it smaller so that it would taste better when fried.
So he cut the slaughtered duck in half again, trying to make the pieces smaller so that they would be more flavorful and each person could have more.
A duck was quickly dealt with.
