90s, The Cannon Fodder Wife of the Paranoid Boss is Reborn

Chapter 64: Steal the chicken but lose the rice

Bai Lu glanced casually, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

 “Fried snails! Fried snails! Fried snails!”

 You must say delicious things three times!

“Fried snails?” Xiao Wei frowned in confusion at the little thing’s name. It didn’t sound very good.

"It's called field snail, also called snail. The ones with pointed tails like those in the river can also be called stone snails according to the place. Fried snails are a particularly delicious way to make them."

Bai Lu stared at the small things in the river with bright eyes. There were still a few garlic sprouts left that she didn't wash. She was afraid that if she waved the water, the ripples would be too big and muddy the mud at the bottom of the river, hiding the small things. If they were blocked, it would be difficult to pick them up.

However, you can still use touch.

The water in the river flows down from the mountains. It is very clear and transparent, with very little mud.

There are more pebbles at the bottom of the river, and snails are crawling on the edges of the cracks in the pebbles or on the mud bed beside the creek.

The water is not very deep, you can reach out and touch it, but you have to roll up your sleeves, otherwise your clothes will get wet.

 “What are you going to do?” Xiao Wei couldn’t help frowning as he watched Bai Lu roll up the thick sleeves of her cotton coat.

 “Pick up snails!”

Bai Lu rolled up her sleeves and drooled...ah! Bian Science Popularization: "Classmate Xiaowei, let me tell you, these snails are particularly delicious, very delicious, extremely delicious!"

 “How delicious can it be?” Xiao Wei said calmly, without even having any questions.

He has never seen these snails in the small town, nor has he eaten them before, so he has no sense of taste.

You can tell by looking at the shell that it must be very hard. If you bite into it, your teeth will crack.

It definitely doesn’t taste good.

 “It’s absolutely delicious and you can’t imagine it!”

Bai Lu reached out to the river, touched a handful of snails, and explained with a smile: "Snails eat the meat inside, not the outer shell. Cut the tail of the snail before frying, and twist the snail meat when eating." "

"There are so many snails, why didn't I find them just now..." Bai Lu sighed as she touched them, her eyes directed towards the bottom of the river in front of her: "Oh, it turns out there was a big rock blocking the place, and this delicious little thing almost slipped away."

"Xiaowei, I told you, the fried snails are really delicious. When frying, add some chili, garlic, ginger...add some mint before taking it out of the pan, pour some soy sauce to make it fresh, spicy and juicy fried snails, Simply delicious! ”

As soon as Xiao Wei heard Chili Pepper, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, and he couldn't hear anything else he said.

There was only a loud and explosive sound in my head.

Remembering the task assigned by his elder brother, he decisively rolled up his sleeves and took over Bai Lu's job of fishing for snails.

  Brother likes to eat peppers fried with white dew, maybe these snails will also be liked.

 “I’ll pick it up.”

Bai Lu gave up her position and continued to touch the other side: "Your hand can't reach the bottom of the river, so touch the one on the side. There are also many snails crawling on the side. I'll touch the ones on the bottom of the river."

Two figures, one large and one small, squatted by the river, reaching down with their hands, and each time they pulled them up, there were many small things.

 A figure approached slowly with gentle hands and feet.

 The surface of the river reflected a blurry black shadow.

Bai Lu squinted her eyes, spotted a certain opportunity, and quickly dodged to the side.

 “Plop!”

 There was a huge splash on the river.

Xiao Wei subconsciously looked to the side and saw that Bai Lu was still safe and sound, so he calmly looked towards the river.

After the water was splashed, the fat figure flopped in the water a few times. Two fat hands were raised and they slapped the water randomly. A big wet blackhead emerged. The flowered coat under the big blackhead was filled with water and swollen. Like a round balloon, two startled and fierce eyes stared straight at Bai Lu from between the messy wet hair.     “White dew!”

The fat figure couldn't help shivering, shivering all over, and his lips turned purple from the cold.

Bai Lu's lips curled up slightly: "If I can't buy chestnuts, I'll resort to intrigues and tricks. I'll treat you well."

After saying that, he called Xiao Wei to go upstream.

“The water quality here has been polluted, and the snails couldn’t bear it and committed suicide.”

 “Let’s go to the front and touch.”

Xiao Wei was walking towards Bailu carrying a small vegetable basket filled with snails. When he passed by a pile of garlic sprouts, he accidentally kicked it, and an even sharper curse suddenly sounded in the river.

 “Are you blind! Didn’t you see anyone in the river?!”

 “Oh my God! Who fell into the river?”

Li Shuixian's voice was overshadowed by the shocked sounds of the aunts who came back with cabbage in their arms, and doubts arose again.

"Li Shuixian? Why are you here? Didn't you go up the mountain to worship your ancestors?"

“The water in the river is so cold, why did you go down to the river?”

“Didn’t Bai Lu wash garlic sprouts here just now? Why did she suddenly go up there, and Xiao Wei also went there, and they all rolled up their sleeves and touched the river to touch the stone snails?”

The aunt suddenly discovered the truth. She turned around and asked Li Shuixian in the river: "Are you also touching the stone snails?"

Li Shuixian was so angry that she had to pretend to smile with a cold face.

A good excuse to go with this falling from the sky: "Yeah, I saw Bai Lu and Xiao Wei picking up snails, and I remembered that our family Zhihai went to the countryside to worship his ancestors during the Qingming Festival last year, and the snails he brought back tasted very good when fried. I just thought This year I picked some up and brought them back, but I squatted too fast and got too close to the river, and accidentally fell into the river without paying attention. "

“I thought that I would have fallen into the water anyway and my clothes would get wet, so I might as well touch some snails and then go ashore.”

Auntie looked at Li Shuixian's shivering body and her lips, which were purple from the cold, and nodded seriously.

"That's right. Anyway, your clothes are soaked. If you don't pick up some stone snails, they will be wet in vain. Do you want a small vegetable basket to put the stone snails in? I'll throw one in for you."

Auntie is so kind, so she threw the vegetable basket down and landed vertically in front of Li Shuixian.

There was a splash of water that wet her face.

Li Hongying, carrying a vegetable basket full of cabbage, looked at each other and her aunts and sisters, silently suppressing laughter.

They are not fools. The water in the river is so cold that fools jump into the river with their clothes on to pick up snails.

Li Shuixian is 80% stealing the chicken but losing the rice.

If they hadn't come back early, they really wouldn't have seen that Li Shuixian was so hostile to Bai Lu.

Li Hongying was glad that she did not cooperate with Li Shuixian, otherwise she would have angered the other party and she would have died.

"Since you went into the river, you will definitely be able to pick up a lot of stone snails, so we won't help you pick them up. Bai Lu sprained her ankle, and Xiao Wei is still young and can't even go into the river. He can't pick up many stone snails. We will go over and help them pick up the snails." point."

The aunt also said very politely: "We have washed the vegetables, and everyone can carry them back. You don't need your help. You can just go back after picking up the stone snails."

"Yes, yes! The river is so cold. Come up early after picking up the snails."

 “It’s not good to catch a cold after soaking in it for too long.”

The aunts and sisters-in-law of the Xiao family looked concerned and gave instructions.

Li Shuixian stood in the water, trying not to tremble, and responded with a stiff smile: "It's okay. I'm in good health and won't catch a cold. I'll go ashore after picking up the snails. If you want to help Bai Lu pick up the snails, go ahead."
