Chapter 297 Pipi Shrimp, let’s go~

Could it be razor clams?

Jiang Rou had watched too many videos about catching razor clams, most of which were about catching razor clams.

Sprinkle a handful of edible salt into the breathing hole. When the salt concentration is high, the clams will not be able to bear it and will pop out directly from the small hole.

It's like a little animal poking its head out.

The most important thing at this time is to be quick.

Grab it.

Then gently pull it out~

The razor clams are caught.

It is actually simple and convenient.

It’s the amount of salt that was sprinkled. If the other sisters-in-law around saw it, they would be so heartbroken.

We are reluctant to use so much salt when pickling vegetables at home, so how can we sprinkle a large amount of salt into sea water?

Even if the razor clams were inlaid with gold, they would not be willing to part with them.

I would rather spend time and effort digging down inch by inch with a small shovel.

Jiang Rou was just thinking about it when suddenly a small thing crawled out of the small hole and flashed past her feet quickly.

How can we let this go?

A man of quick eyes and quick hands.

The fire tongs in Jiang Rou's hand had already grabbed the little guy.

Then take a closer look!

A bright light suddenly burst out in Jiang Rou's eyes.

That was such a joy.

It turned out to be mantis shrimp!

【Pipi Shrimp Pictures】

It seems that underneath these breathing holes are all the nests of mantis shrimps.

The growth range of mantis shrimp is not as wide as that of razor clams. It only appears in limited areas, so the method of catching mantis shrimp is not that common.

In addition, the mantis shrimp is wide and long, with densely packed legs on both sides.

If Song Qingqian saw it, he might think it was a large version of a centipede.

But mantis shrimp is much more delicious than razor clams.

If it is the kind of mantis shrimp with a layer of yellow paste in the middle of the back, it is even more delicious~

Catching mantis shrimp is not a difficult task for Jiang Rou.

She even made preparations early in the morning.

Jiang Rou took out a bamboo from her backpack.

The inside of the bamboo is hollow. If you clean the inside of the bamboo joint, it will become a ventilated bamboo tube.

Jiang Rou found a breathing hole on the beach and inserted the bamboo tube straight down into the hole.

As the foreign object intruded, the mantis shrimp hiding in the sand was buried inside and refused to come out.

But don't rush.

Jiang Rou squatted on the ground and pressed down the sand around the bamboo tube to ensure it was sealed.

Then he lowered his head and blew into the sand from one end of the bamboo tube.

one two three!

Blow hard.

Water began to seep out of one of the densely packed holes all around.

That's it!

Jiang Rou stared at the hole and continued to blow air into it one, two, three times.

A few seconds later.

A fat and strong mantis shrimp emerged from the hole along with the water flow.

The mantis shrimp crawls very fast and has many holes around it. In order to prevent it from burrowing into the sand again, it must be caught as quickly as possible.

Jiang Rou just inserted, blew, and grabbed like this.

Keep moving back and forth.

In a short while, we caught a lot of mantis shrimps.

The mantis shrimps were scrambling in the basket, tangling with the octopus, and almost drowning the shells.

Not only is it rewarding, but it's also quite fun.

If I could bring Zhou Xiaochuan and Zhou Xiaohua to catch the sea, those two little guys would definitely be very happy.

Here, Jiang Rou was having a lot of fun catching mantis shrimps.

On the other side, Song Qingqian and Zhao Guifen had almost finished digging out the shells. They saw that Jiang Rou seemed to be quite lively, so they came over to see what was going on.

"Arou, what are you grabbing? You're almost falling to the ground."

Song Qingqian asked doubtfully.

Compared to the dry sand used for shell digging, the sand in the shallow areas of the mantis shrimp is more like silt.

Jiang Rou kept her head down and blew air, and the water and mud made her body dirty.

But when she raised her head, she still had a beautiful face that was pure and elegant.

Zhao Guifen carried her backpack and showed it to Jiang Rou like a treasure.

"Sister Rou, look, I dug up a lot of those... those... worms you mentioned! Sandworms! They are all so fat. The fatter the better, right?"

Jiang Rou took a look.

Dozens of fat, wriggling sandworms gathered together, and the picture was really a bit...beautiful.

Even though she knew that sandworms have high nutritional value and that they are delicious when stewed in vermicelli and garlic sauce, she still didn't dare to take a second look at them.

Zhao Guifen is really amazing. She is not afraid of this.

Jiang Rou couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.

"There are a lot of mantis shrimps in this area. Do you want to catch some?"

Song Qingqian frowned: "Pipi shrimp?"

Zhao Guifen didn’t understand at all: “Pi…what?

"Mantis shrimp is also called mantis shrimp, shrimp crawler, and mantis cricket. The meat of mantis shrimp tastes similar to shrimp and is very delicious."

Jiang Rou explained carefully.

As soon as Song Qingqian heard the name "mantis shrimp", he knew what it was.

The only thing about mantis shrimp is that it has a little more shell on its body, so it is more difficult to handle.

But if you wash it clean, steam it, and then dip it in a little soy sauce, it tastes fresh and sweet and is quite delicious.

"I want to catch it!"

Song Qingqian's eyes flashed with a tenacious determination to win.

Zhao Guifen, needless to say, "It is necessary."

"The mantis shrimp hides deep, but it's not hard to catch. I'll teach you how to catch it now..."

"Look at the small hole here. Insert the bamboo tube straight down, cover the tube with mud, and then blow air into it..."

Jiang Rou handed the bamboo tube to Zhao Guifen and asked Zhao Guifen to blow into it.

"Qingqian, look around. Do you see any hole with water coming out of it? Then hold on to it..."

"Sister Guifen, keep blowing, harder..."

"It's coming out, it's coming out, it's coming out!"

“It really came out!”

"Catch them quickly!"

"Ah! I caught it!"

Song Qingqian took the flint and moved it back and forth several times, and finally caught the struggling shrimp.

At the moment of capture.

On her proud face, she screamed with excitement and smiled happily, revealing the same excitement as a child.

Jiang Rou asked with a smile, "Is it fun?"

"It's fun! It's not that difficult~"

Song Qingqian not only gained happiness, but also felt a special joy from accomplishing something that he originally thought was impossible.

Zhao Guifen was also unusually happy, as if she was playing games with a group of girls when she was a child.

In the sea, everything new and interesting is filled with pure happiness.

"Sister Qingqian, let's continue catching more and take them back to eat."

"Okay, Sister Guifen!"

Song Qingqian agreed without any hesitation.

The two of them worked together like this, one blowing air downwards while the other looked around carefully and caught the mantis shrimps that popped out.

The cooperation is quite tacit.

Of course, there are times when we make mistakes.

"call--"

Zhao Guifen's chest heaved violently. He held his breath for a long time and blew it downwards.

Slurp——

A stream of water gushed out of the small hole like a fountain.

Spraying water straightly.

The cool sea water, carrying mud and sand, just hit Song Qingqian's face as she looked down at the hole.
