Chapter 559 Cricket
When he came back from the ginseng field, the tofu at home had already been ground.
At this moment, the two sisters and Tang Yaoyao were busy in the kitchen.
Hearing their chattering, Zhou Ziwen smiled and shook his head.
There is already a chattering girl in the house, and now there is another one. It is even more lively when the two of them get together.
As a result, Chen Shiying also spoke a lot more under their influence.
Seeing that they were chatting animatedly, Zhou Ziwen didn't bother them. He was a little tired after running around outside all day.
He made a cup of tea, brought it to the yard, and lay on a lounge chair waiting for dinner.
"Brother Zhou, look what I found?"
At this moment, Zhou Chaoyang suddenly ran in hurriedly from outside.
In his hand, he was holding something that looked like a crayfish.
"This is a cicada! Where did you get it?"
Zhou Ziwen took a closer look and immediately recognized what was in Zhou Chaoyang's hand.
"I found it just now when I went to the river. I thought it was a crayfish, but later I found out it wasn't."
"Brother Zhou, can this be eaten?"
Zhou Chaoyang had never seen this thing before. Just now, he saw that it looked very similar to crayfish, so he ran back to ask about it.
He didn't recognize this thing, but Brother Zhou definitely did.
“Of course you can eat it, and it tastes better than crayfish.”
Zhou Ziwen explained.
Crayfish are different from crayfish. The meat of crayfish is more tender and tastes very delicious.
Whether wild or farmed, crayfish have an earthy smell, and their meat is not as tender as that of crayfish.
However, crayfish has a little more meat than crayfish.
Each cricket has so little meat on it that it's not even enough to fill the gaps between your teeth.
But this thing is very good to go with wine.
"What are we waiting for? I just saw there are still a lot over there. Let's go grab some more!"
Hearing this, Zhou Chaoyang's eyes lit up instantly.
"Wait a minute, I'll get a net bag."
When Zhou Ziwen heard about crickets, he became excited.
Everyone says that crayfish is delicious, but he has never eaten it before. Today he can try it.
Crayfish have very high requirements for water quality.
This thing only exists in the countryside in this era.
Crayfish are called Northeast crayfish, but many local people in Northeast China have never heard of them.
In later generations, this thing could be sold for more than two hundred yuan per kilogram.
In the room, when the girls heard that Zhou Ziwen and the others were going to catch crickets, they all became interested.
In the end, they stopped cooking and went out together.
Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters, Shen Zhaodi, Zhou Chaoyang, and Tang Yaoyao, a group of six, went to the river with their tools.
Under the leadership of Zhou Chaoyang, they soon arrived at the place where the cicadas were found.
Here, the river water is clear, and because the water is relatively shallow, you can see some small fish swimming in it.
And, of course, there are the crayfish crawling along the riverbed.
"Is this a cicada?"
Chen Shiying asked.
She is a homebody, and if it were any other time, she might not come out.
The reason why I was so happy to come out with them this time was because I heard there were cicadas.
Others may not know what crayfish is, but under Zhou Ziwen's guidance, she knows a lot about food from all over the world.
Of course, there are also cicadas among them.
"Wow, the water is so clear!"
Tang Yaoyao was like a curious baby, and she put her hand into the river while watching.
"Hiss, the water is so cold!"
As a result, it retracted as soon as it was stretched out.
"The water here all flows down from the mountains, and some of it is melted ice and snow, so of course it's very cold."
Zhou Ziwen explained with a smile.
"Ah? Then how do we catch them?"
Hearing this, Chen Qiaoyi was a little disappointed.
"It's okay, just leave it to me."
Zhou Ziwen said indifferently.
For others, the water here is very cold, and it is easy to catch a cold if you soak in it for a long time, but this problem does not exist for Zhou Ziwen.
He has a strong physique and can walk barefoot in the snow and ice without any problem.
As he spoke, Zhou Ziwen had already started taking off his shoes.
These cicadas are all in the river and you have to go into the water to catch them. The one Zhou Chaoyang caught just now was just luck; it just happened to swim to the edge and was caught by him.
"Brother Ziwen, why don't we stop catching cicadas? The water is so cold. What if we catch a cold?"
Chen Qiaoyi held Zhou Ziwen's hand and said with concern.
"Haha, it seems you still don't know much about your man's body. Look."
Zhou Ziwen rubbed her head, his face full of confidence.
He decided to show off his skills to his wife and let her witness a miracle.
Zhou Ziwen's words left everyone confused and no one understood what he meant.
But they soon found out what was going on.
Zhou Ziwen found a slightly flat open space, then got into position and started boxing.
Zhou Ziwen's boxing style is swift and powerful.
It is very similar to Bajiquan, but also different.
It looks more ferocious and more brutal.
As Zhou Ziwen opened his fist stance, sonic booms like those in martial arts novels rang in everyone's ears.
It felt like special effects had been added, with every punch and kick being extremely powerful.
This was the first time in such a long time that Zhou Ziwen used his full strength in boxing.
The moves were fierce and fast, and by the time everyone came to their senses, Zhou Ziwen had already finished throwing the punches.
After coming to their senses, everyone was surprised to find that Zhou Ziwen's body was steaming hot.
A visible heat emanated from him.
Chen Qiaoyi moved closer out of curiosity and actually felt a wave of heat.
"Brother Ziwen, why are you so hot?"
Chen Qiaoyi held Zhou Ziwen's hand and actually felt a burn.
"Of course it's from boxing training."
"Now you should be relieved. With my physical condition, this little bit of snow water is of no use to me."
Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"Brother Zhou, you're so amazing! Why do your fists make sounds?"
Zhou Chaoyang asked in shock.
"That's strength."
Zhou Ziwen explained briefly.
As the saying goes, a sound is worth a thousand gold.
The fact that Zhou Ziwen's punches and kicks make noises is enough to prove how powerful he is.
"That's amazing, Brother Ziwen. If you punch me, can you kill me?"
Tang Yaoyao looked at Zhou Ziwen's hand and asked with interest.
Zhou Ziwen: “…”
With her small body, if she were to get hit by a punch, the consequences would probably be terrible.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's catch some cicadas!"
Zhou Ziwen looked at the sky.
Although the sky is very bright at this time, even brighter than usual.
But this is also a sign that rain is about to come.
"Brother Zhou, I'll help you too."
Seeing Zhou Ziwen go into the water, Zhou Chaoyang also became interested.
He felt that he was a man after all and shouldn't just stand there and watch.
"Come on, as long as you are not afraid of the cold."
Zhou Ziwen smiled and nodded.
