Chapter 33 Delicious
The next day, the drizzle turned into heavy rain, and no one had to go to work. However, Qiao Mo was glad that the vegetables that were dried first were all dried. What annoyed her was that she thought it would take two days for it to rain yesterday, so she picked all the ripe vegetables and dried them for a day.
If it rained for too long, the beans would get moldy and rot. Fortunately, the sun was strong yesterday and it was already mid-afternoon. After thinking about it, she decided to cut all the beans into sections, marinate them with salt, and then seal them in glass bottles to make sour beans. She also put the red peppers and green beans on the stove to dry.
They couldn't go out on rainy days, so they had nothing to do except cooking. Qiao Mo stayed in the house reading and practicing "The Secret of Herbs and Trees". After coming here, she was busy practicing and clearing land, so she had much less time to read. Now that she had time, she naturally had to make good use of it.
In the afternoon, the rain was much lighter, so Qiao Mo took out some fishing lines, fish hooks and floats from the wooden bracelet space, then went to the bamboo forest behind his private plot and cut some bamboos as thick as thumbs. He tied the fishing lines with fish hooks and floats on them, and called Kang Mingyuan and Han Yimo to go fishing by the Xiaoyue River.
"I'll go dig some earthworms." Han Yimo saw her homemade fishing gear and actively went to dig earthworms. It was only then that Qiao Mo remembered that fishing also required bait.
Han Yimo quickly dug up a small jar of earthworms. The three of them put on straw hats, covered themselves with plastic sheets, and set off with small stools.
Qiao Mo is not someone who can sit still. After sitting for more than half an hour, the buoy still didn't move, so she couldn't sit still anymore. She released her spiritual sense to see where there were more fish. She wanted to move her position, but she didn't expect that before she found her position, she found crayfish in the grass by the river.
Thinking of the delicious spicy crayfish, Qiao Mo couldn't help swallowing: since the end of the world, crayfish have become extinct, and she has never eaten spicy crayfish again. She didn't expect to meet it here.
She could no longer sit still, so she handed the fishing rod to Han Yimo and went to catch crayfish with the net and bucket.
Crayfish were not easy to catch, but she could lock onto them with her spiritual sense and catch them one by one. She only picked the big ones and let go of all those that did not meet her expectations. There were many crayfish in the river, all hiding in the water plants. Soon, she filled the bucket.
She was not greedy and thought it was enough for the three of them, so she stopped and went to the fishing spot with the bucket.
"Can this kind of big shrimp be eaten?" Han Yimo asked doubtfully when he saw the big shrimp in the barrel.
"You'll know after you eat. You guys go fishing here first, I'll go get the brush and scissors." Qiao Mo deliberately kept the other person in suspense and turned to go to the educated youth point.
She took a new brush from the wooden space and the old pair of scissors.
When she got to the river, she first cleaned the crayfish one by one with a brush, then removed the shells on their heads, washed out the dirt inside, removed the shrimp threads, and then cut off their legs and lungs. After washing them, she made an incision on their backs.
"This thing is too disgusting." Han Yimo felt tired just watching how carefully she made it.
"It won't be difficult once you taste its deliciousness." Qiao Mo said with a smile.
At this time, Kang Mingyuan caught another fish, and now he had caught five big fish weighing about kilograms, so he packed up and prepared to go.
"We're having shrimp today. Let's keep the fish in a basin and eat them tomorrow," Qiao Mo instructed. "I'll go get some seasoning."
