Chapter 350 Everyone is catching lobsters!
A month later.
Qin Zhizhi estimated that the crayfish raised on the farm were ready to be eaten, so she started preparing them early.
He chose a day when Gu Jinghuai and others were on leave, and took people from the Qin and Gu families to the farm.
Old Man Qin and his companions were still at Gu Yunfei's farm, and Qin Zhizhi directly decided to go there.
This way, not only can you eat crayfish, but you can also see grandpa and the others.
Qin Zhizhi started preparing early for this family outing.
The tools, seasonings, ingredients, etc. needed for the day were all exchanged with Wanwan.
Mrs. Wang and Mr. Wang also attended the party with their son and daughter.
Almost everyone from the Ning family was present, even the crown prince and the second prince were invited.
Early in the morning, the emperor looked at his two excited sons and said to the queen with some resentment, "Tell me, why didn't the county lady invite us?"
The Queen laughed out loud when she heard this and said soothingly, "Your Majesty, the young people should go out and have some fun. You are the ruler of a country. If you go, they won't have a good time."
The emperor muttered in dissatisfaction, "I am not a cannibal. Why can Gu Ting, the eldest sister, the old lady go, but I can't go?"
The queen smiled helplessly. She knew that the emperor was just jealous of Gu Ting. It was that simple.
The prince and his younger brother didn't care what their father's mood was. They were very happy anyway.
When the time came to open the palace gates, the two of them set off for Gu's Mansion.
Because Qin Zhizhi suggested staying overnight, the group brought quite a lot of things with them.
Qin Qingyun and Ning Ning went to the Ning family to pick up people, and took the Ning family directly to meet up at the manor.
There are not many members of the Wang family. They arrived early and followed the Qin and Gu families' carriages directly.
After the Crown Prince and the Second Prince arrived, the group set out for the farm. Along the way, the Second Prince was so happy that he was like a little chatterbox.
Gu Yunfei had already sent someone to the farm to notify everyone and had also arranged accommodation for them.
The children were arranged to live together and someone was assigned to take care of them.
As for the other people, they were arranged by Ning Ning, Wang Xinru and Gu Yunfei. Qin Zhizhi thought it was very reasonable and directly handed the matter over to them.
Although Gu Yunfei was pregnant, she was familiar with the Gu family. Naturally, the Gu family had no objection to her arrangements.
The same goes for Ning Ning and Wang Xinru. It’s their own child’s arrangement, so what objection can they have?
Once we arrived at the village, several people arranged for everyone to stay in the arranged accommodation, and if anyone was not satisfied, they could change it.
Everyone looked at the people busying around making arrangements, they were enjoying themselves and were naturally satisfied.
This time when we came to the manor, we also brought chefs with us, at least one from each mansion. The main reason was that the chefs in each mansion knew the tastes of the people in their mansion very well, so as to avoid eating the wrong food.
While Ning Ning and others were in charge of arranging accommodation, Qin Zhizhi had already taken the chefs to arrange lunch.
With the help of the cook at the farm, lunch for so many people was solved first.
Taking into account the elderly, children and pregnant women, Qin Zhizhi personally decided on the menu.
When Qin Shan and Qin He came here today, they also brought a lot of watermelons, and Qin Zhizhi also exchanged other fruits with Wanwan.
Because she was afraid that they would be bored, Qin Zhizhi also brought a few sets of mahjong.
Qin Zhizhi took Qin Shan, Qin He, Gu Jinghuai and others to choose a clean lawn. This was specially planted by the manager when Qin Zhizhi came to the farm last time.
Someone built a canopy and brought in a few tables for the elders to play mahjong and have fun.
It didn't take long for Madam Gu and Madam Ning to teach everyone how to play. The four of them formed a group and started playing happily.
Qin Zhizhi had a swing set up and prepared toys suitable for the children so that they could play freely. She also arranged for someone to look after them so that the adults could feel at ease.
All the men who came today were assigned tasks, including Gu Ting and his men.
But they were all very happy. Before they came, Qin Zhizhi had arranged their work.
The most important task in the afternoon is to catch crayfish, which is their meal for tonight.
Qin Zhizhi and Wanwan exchanged various artifacts for catching lobsters, as well as swimming pants.
Qin Zhizhi was also very playful. She was the first to change into her swimming trunks and demonstrated to everyone how to catch lobsters. Everyone was very interested and rushed to go into the water.
Qin Zhizhi asked her eldest and second brothers to get the wading pants, and everyone who wanted to play in the water went to get one.
After everyone changed into their clothes, they all laughed at each other's strange outfits.
Everyone went into the water, some with buckets, some with nets, and some with their bare hands.
Fortunately, the ditch was wider after it was dug again, and there were more crayfish put in it originally, so it is not difficult to catch them now with so many people.
Qin Zhizhi originally instructed the manager of the farm to find someone to dig a wider ditch and dig it in the cotton field every week. This would be beneficial for raising crayfish and would also make it easier to irrigate the cotton.
"You have to be careful, the crayfish's claws can be very painful."
Although Qin Zhizhi provided gloves for everyone, she was still worried that they would get pinched.
"Got it, sister-in-law!"
"Zhizhi, is this really edible?"
Gu Ting caught one with his bare hands, but seeing the crayfish baring its teeth and claws, Gu Ting became suspicious.
"This crayfish is so fierce and still has its shell. Is it really delicious?"
Gu Shi was even a little scared and felt he couldn't bring himself to eat it.
"Minister Gu, Master Gu, if you don't believe in crayfish, don't you believe in the county lady? If the county lady says it's edible, it must be delicious. I'm going to eat it to my heart's content tonight."
The foodie Ning Xuan has complete faith in Qin Zhizhi. Although crayfish doesn't look very appetizing, he believes in Qin Zhizhi's cooking skills.
If it didn’t taste good, Qin Zhizhi would definitely not raise it, let alone bring everyone to taste it.
"Dad, Second Uncle, if you're afraid, don't force yourself!"
Gu Yunlang spoke sincerely. He was still worried that his father and second uncle would snatch it from them.
Gu Ting and Gu Shi's mouths twitched. When did they say they were scared? It's not okay for them to be a little worried.
"Yunlang, let's go ahead and catch them. My sister-in-law said they're all over the ditch!"
Gu Jingshu was afraid that his cousin would speak too bluntly and hurt his uncle and father, so he quickly called him away.
"Yunlang, Jingshu, wait for Qinghui and me."
The prince pulled Qin Qinghui to chase Gu Yunlang and Gu Jingshu.
He felt it was safer to stay away from his uncle to avoid him being cheated by him.
Qin Qingyuan and Gu Jinghuai were worried about them, so they quickly followed them, catching crayfish while keeping an eye on them.
Although the water in the ditch is not particularly deep, you still need to be careful. After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still there, and safety comes first.
Gu Ting, Gu Shi, Qin Shan, Mr. Wang, and Ning Kun formed a team.
Anyway, they had no experience in catching these, so they just caught the crayfish in a wooden barrel.
Old Man Qin and several others helped them catch the crayfish on the shore, and everyone cooperated very well.
