More and more people came to pick snails. Lin Xiaoxiao picked snails for more than an hour and only picked up half of the basin. She brought the snails to the shore and saw Zhou Cuifen also carrying a basin of snails and walking towards the shore.
Thinking of what happened just now, Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed, and she shouted at Zhou Cuifen, "Cuifen, there's a snake in front of your leg."
Zhou Cuifen was most afraid of snakes. She was bitten by a snake when she was a child and almost died. When she heard the snake, she screamed in fright and ran back to the shore quickly. The basin of snails she was holding was also spilled into the water.
Seeing this, some children took basins and rushed to grab the snails she had scattered in the river.
Little Milk Bag also wanted to grab the snails. He looked at Lin Xiaoxiao eagerly and asked her what she meant, "Sister."
Lin Xiaoxiao winked at him, signaling him not to go.
Zhou Cuifen was still frightened. She looked around in the river but didn't see any snake. She asked Lin Xiaoxiao, "Where is the snake? Where is the snake?"
Lin Xiaoxiao looked innocent as she pointed at the small sticks that the children had thrown while playing in the water. "I was mistaken."
Zhou Cuifen immediately understood, her face flushed with anger, "Lin Xiaoxiao, you did it on purpose."
Before Lin Xiaoxiao could say anything, Li Kuaizui at the side said, "That stick really looks like a snake. I was also scared by it just now."
“…”
Seeing that others were also on Lin Xiaoxiao's side, Zhou Cuifen became even angrier, but with so many people watching, if she insisted on blaming Lin Xiaoxiao, it would seem that she was unreasonable.
Looking again, she saw that all the snails she had worked so hard to find had been snatched away by others. She grabbed Qiangqiang, who had grabbed the most snails, snatched the basin from his hand, glared at him and said, "This is mine."
The snail was taken away, and Qiangqiang rubbed his mouth and started crying at the top of his lungs.
Seeing this, Qiangqiang's mother rushed to the river like a whirlwind and snatched the basin back. "Why are you stealing my snails?"
The attitude was as if to say, "If you dare to steal the snails, I will fight with you."
After all, Zhou Cuifen was only eighteen or nineteen years old and still unmarried. How could she possibly compete with Qiangqiang's mother? She had no choice but to watch as Qiangqiang's mother dragged Qiangqiang away, carrying the snails she had worked so hard to find.
…
After working hard for an entire afternoon, Lin Xiaoxiao and the other two only managed to collect about 30 kilograms of screws. Lin Rui was so worried that he couldn't even eat dinner.
"If we continue like this, we won't be able to catch ten kilograms of snails a day in the future."
So many people touched it on the first day, and then the word spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and more people came to touch the snails.
Lin Xiaoxiao comforted him, "Second brother, they don't know how to cook these snails, and they won't be able to sell them even if they touch them, so don't worry."
These people don't know that the snails should be fried before being sold. Even if they knew, they might not be willing to spend so much seasoning. When they are willing to do so, she can just go to the city to sell them.
"But……"
Lin Rui wanted to say that even if the snails couldn't be sold, they would be wasted. But when he thought about it carefully, he felt a little ashamed that he, a grown man, was not as calm and collected as his sister.
Lin Xiaoxiao pretended not to notice his thoughts, "Second brother, go to bed early! Go to Li Town to sell snails tomorrow, not here anymore."
Lin Rui is not steady enough and needs training, but this cannot be rushed.
