“Sister Qingqing, let me help you make the bait.”
Zhao Xiaoya said as she put down the leaves, picked up a fat earthworm, and crushed it into two halves with a stone. She wrapped one half around the line tied to Yi Qingqing’s thin wooden stick and then rubbed her little hands on the reeds.
This candy was worth it. The service was great.
“Thank you, Xiaoya, you are so awesome!” Yi Qingqing praised her.
Zhao Xiaoya just laughed.
Under the guidance of the children, Yi Qingqing dropped the thread tied with the earthworm into the puddle.
After a while, the stick in her hand sank.
“You got it, you got it, hurry up and lift it up!” Hu Wa reminded her.
Yi Qingqing pulled it up and found two black and red lobsters hanging at the end of the line, both of them were quite big.
“I caught one too.” The kid next to her said happily and challenged Yi Qingqing: “Sister Qingqing, let’s have a lobster fight! If you lose, your head will be hit, and if it dies, we can roast it and eat it!”
Yi Qingqing: “…”
So this is how they play with lobsters.
“Come on, who’s afraid of who!”
Her lobsters are bigger, okay?
“Go, go, go!”
“Bite it, bite it!”
“Go, go quickly!”
…
“Ah!” Yi Qingqing covered her forehead, “No more, no more!”
Why was her lobster so weak!
“Hahaha!” The children burst into laughter.
Although Yi Qingqing lost a few games and her forehead was a little red from being hit, these little bastards didn’t hold back at all!
Too cruel.
But she was still quite happy, feeling like she was making up for her missed childhood.
These children may not have a rich material life. The land in Xiangshui Village is relatively fertile, so they may not have enough to eat, but their spiritual life is quite rich. The surrounding mountains and rivers are their playgrounds. They also have simple happiness that children in later generations cannot experience.
During the following lobster grilling activity, Yi Qingqing just watched the whole process but did not participate.
They said that it was roasted and eaten, but most likely it was just played with.
Yi Qingqing felt itchy after seeing this and wanted to cook a spicy lobster for these kids who were so arrogant because they won against her, but she held back in order to avoid being exposed.
“Do you fish for anything else besides lobsters?” Yi Qingqing asked. She wanted to find out if she had missed anything else.
After all, the cooking methods of many dishes are the same.
“We sometimes catch loaches. Although loaches are bitter and not tasty, they have a lot of meat!”
“There are big frogs in the summer!”
“And there are cicada monkeys. They are delicious!”
She declined the cicada monkey. Yi Qingqing confirmed with them that the big frog should be the bullfrog, but it was no longer available at this time and would have to wait until next year.
Loaches were okay.
“I know how to cook loaches. Can you catch them and exchange them for candy?”
Yi Qingqing had successfully penetrated the inner circle of the children and spoke directly.
After she said this, the children all looked at her blankly.
“Sister Qingqing, can’t you finish all the candies at home? Usually, few people eat loaches.” Zhao Xiaoya said.
After all this time, they thought that she was a fool.
However, their first reaction was not to take advantage of her immediately, but to think she was stupid, which showed that they are all good kids!
