The group came to the lake and saw clams everywhere they looked.
Su Qing took out a fishing net from the backpack behind him and started to cast the net.
Su Che was stunned. He was the one who packed the things, so how could he not remember to bring a fishing net?
"Sister, when did our family get a fishing net?" Su Che was very confused.
"Well, last time I accidentally met an old lady who was almost starving to death. She insisted on pulling me over and wanted to exchange her fishing net for the corn grits in my hand. I was so kind, so I traded with her." Su Qing came up with the reason to evade his brother.
"But I didn't see you stuff it in when I went out."
"Maybe you remembered it wrong. Alright, alright, hurry up and try to finish before sunset. Get the bigger clams and release the smaller ones."
Maybe because no one is fishing, the river clams here are overflowing, and the nets are full of them with just one throw.
Su Qing taught Su Che and his two nephews how to use the fishing net.
I even demonstrated it to them, and soon I was out of breath.
Su Che immediately drove Su Qing away. "Go away, go find a shady place to open the clams. If you want to bring all these things back with the shells, it will probably take several trips."
"I'll teach you again, just in case you didn't see my movements clearly."
"No, don't underestimate your brother. Go and rest. You're out of breath. Don't you know how badly you've been wasting your health these past few years? Why are you showing off?"
Su Qing had no choice but to find a place to sit and open the clams.
At the beginning, he was still trying to find the feeling, but later he got the hang of it and his speed increased. Daya and the others were stunned watching him.
"Daya, go to your grandma and aunt and help them pick grapes."
Upon hearing this, Daya carried Si Ya on her back and left.
When Su Che was working, he gave the child to his mother. Daya saw this and said that she could carry the child, so he gave the child to Daya.
With the fishing net, most of the clams in the lake were caught in less than an hour.
There are also some small ones that can be raised.
"Little sister, come on, teach me how to drive." Su Che came up to Su Qing like a lackey.
"Auntie, we have to learn it too, so I can brag to my friends."
Su Qianshan patted his Su Qianfan and said, "You are stupid. If people find out about this immature river clam, we won't be able to keep it. We can sell it for money."
"Okay then, but I still want to learn. It's always good to learn more."
Su Qing handed each person a knife for opening clams. "Okay, learn it. I'll open it in slow motion once, and you can follow me."
Su Qianshan and Su Che learned quickly and got the hang of it after just two lessons.
But Su Qianfan was different. No matter how hard Su Qing tried to teach him, he just couldn't learn and even cut his hand.
"Oh, our comrade Qian Fan, just stay aside." Su Qing felt that if he continued to learn how to open clams, he might lose both hands.
Su Qianfan scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I'm going to help grandma and mom pick wild grapes."
"Wait, put this on first." Su Qing took out a Band-Aid from the Space Town under the cover of his trouser pocket.
Everyone was no longer surprised by the strange things Su Qing could produce, especially the adults who knew that Su Qing was involved in the black market, so they were even less suspicious.
After picking wild grapes, Su's mother and Wen Li also joined the army of people opening river clams.
Even Daya and Qianya were curious and tried their hand at it after watching for a long time.
Erya enjoyed collecting the shells of the river clams.
Si Ya was placed on a flat stone, and San Ya watched from the side.
Everyone is busy with their own things.
It wasn't until the sun was about to set that we finally finished cleaning.
Of course, the harvest was also quite fruitful.
A basket full of pearls, and the quality is very good.
There were also two baskets of clam meat, three baskets of wild grapes, and six bags of clam shells.
Originally, Su's mother said she didn't want these shells, but Su Qing thought that river clam shells could be used to make many handicrafts, and when they could set up a stall in the future, it could also be a good business.
Su Che, who was faster on his feet, took the two brothers Su Qianshan to carry the clam shells back first, and then came to pick up Su Qing and the others.
By the time everyone returned home, it was already dark.
Everyone was very tired, so Su Qing decided to just have a simple dinner.
I cooked a full pot of noodles and added a large portion of duck eggs.
Maybe it was because he was tired after a day of work, even the simplest plain noodles tasted like delicacies from land and sea.
After dinner, Su Qing began to clean the clam meat and shells.
There may be sand and fine stones in the clam meat, so it is best to keep it in clean water for a few days before eating.
But Su Qing had already shaved the meat off the river clams. Now all he had to do was scrub the clam meat with salt to clean the mucus.
Then scrape off the rotten flesh with something and rinse it with clean water.
Considering that he would eat it tomorrow, Su Qing specially soaked it in well water and then hung it in the well to keep it fresh.
Although the clam shells have been processed once, there are too many of them and many of them cannot be cleaned properly.
Some still have clam meat stuck to them.
Except for Si Ya, who still needed to be fed, and San Ya, who had just started to walk steadily, everyone else helped.
It’s good to have more people around. We cleaned up everything in no time and placed them neatly in the yard to dry in the shade.
The pearls were cleaned last, and everyone decided to let Su Qing keep them first, while Su Che and Wen Li went to the black market to ask the price.
As for the picked grapes.
Su Qing kept a large bowl for himself and made the rest into raisins.
For this purpose, Su Qing specially set up a few bamboos in a shady room to dry the grapes.
By the time I finished all the work and went to bed, it was already midnight.
