Golden Fishing Village

Hearing the general's roar, Ao Muyang walked over and looked carefully, and then found a circle of green snails on a lake bottom stone.

Seeing this, he laughed, took out a sausage from his pocket and handed it to the general, and said with a smile: "You are really capable, go and find snails again."

The general went to the shore with the sausage in his mouth, shook off the water droplets on the fur, and then tore the sausage into two halves, one for himself and the other for the head of state.

In this way, Ao Muyang laughed even more happily. The general was very friendly to the head of state now, which made him very relieved.

Fried snails don't have to be eaten as a meal. Fry them once and put them in the refrigerator. As long as they don't go bad, they can be eaten for several days. It is a good side dish and a small cold dish.

So, after feeling around, he whistled and signaled the general to continue looking for snails in his water.

Water hounds have advantages in doing this job. Their eyes can be opened in the water, and their vision and eyesight are great. After diving, they can look for snails, just like hounds looking for hares and pheasants in the mountains.

If the general hadn't helped, Ao Muyang would have had to dive and search for the snails himself. Now that the general was leading the way, he saved a lot of trouble.

From the time he came back from the morning to lunch, he had already caught half a bag of snails, which were of uniform size and could be eaten for several meals in the mountains.

He brought the snails ashore, and someone in the village saw them and laughed: "Hey, Xiaoyang, you caught so many snails? You're so lucky."

The person next to him said: "What good luck? Yangzi is very good at catching fish, shrimps, crabs and snails in the water. He caught them with real skills."

Ao Muyang also laughed and said: "It was all the general who found them. This is not my credit."

The general wagged his tail happily. He was very good at observing words and expressions. Although he didn't understand what Ao Muyang was saying, he knew he was praising himself.

The villagers praised him again: "The general is really amazing." "The general is really sensible." "Let the general breed a litter for my dog ​​later."

Ao Muyang secretly said that this was needless to say. The general breeds in the village every day, and he probably has a lot of mothers-in-law in the village.

Bringing the snails home, you can't put them directly into the pot. You have to pour some sesame oil into it to let it spit out the mud. If it can't spit out all the mud, then the dish is ruined.

Ao Muyang kept it in clean water for two days, and changed the water several times during this period.

He originally put the snails in the yard to let the snails spit out the mud. An autumn rain came, and he got up in the middle of the night to pick up the snails when he heard the rain.

There was nothing to do recently, and he was very energetic. After waking up, he couldn't sleep again. He saw that the snails had almost spit out all the mud and sand, so he simply started to stir-fry.

Stir-frying snails is a troublesome thing. Not only do you have to let them spit out the mud, but you have to use pointed pliers to cut off the snail tails before frying, so that it is easier to suck and taste.

After cutting off the snail tails one by one, he first blanched them in boiling water, then put them in a pan to fry star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, onions, ginger, garlic, and then added dried chili peppers and bean paste as dry ingredients, and finally stir-fried them.

During the stir-frying process, he sprinkled some salt, sugar and cooking wine, and when the aroma came out, he added some water to collect the sauce. He started stir-frying in the middle of the night, and when the dish was out of the pot, it was not so dark anymore.

Putting the snails on the plate, Ao Muyang took another bottle of beer, then sat on the ground at the door and drank by himself.

The general came over with his tail wagging. Ao Muyang patted the empty space next to his butt. It lay down here obediently, put its head on his legs and accompanied him quietly.

The head of state lay on his other leg. After looking at the snails, it was not interested. It closed its eyes and began to chant Buddha.

Rainy night, thatched house, small table, a bottle of beer, a person, an old dog and a dish.

Outside, the autumn rain continued, and a lonely lamp at the door emitted a dim light. Soon, small flies flew in the rain and kept circling around the light bulb.

Ao Muyang poured a glass of beer, and the golden wine flowed into the glass, and bubbles came up with a "woohoo".

He took a sip of beer and looked outside. With the dim light, he could vaguely see the raindrops in the yard.

The raindrops were strung together into a line. The rain was not heavy, but it was falling all the time. When the light shone on them, the raindrops looked like golden lines.

There were many vegetables planted in the yard, and there was also a circle of corn. The autumn corn was about to be harvested. It was one person tall, with thick corn cobs growing on it.

Ao Muyang's heart moved, and he flicked his finger to send a little gold drop into the rain.

The gold drop turned into thousands of points in the rain, and merged into the vegetables with the rain.

The reason why he threw out this little gold drop was unknown, and there was no purpose, just like a little prank by a naughty boy.

On such a rainy night, in such an environment, Ao Muyang felt a little lonely.

For the first time, he began to look forward to having someone to accompany him in his life, preferably a girl, and even better if she was a beautiful girl, such as Lu Zhizi.

He turned back and looked at the school through the window. The campus halfway up the mountain was dark, and all the families were in a beautiful dream at this time.

Listening to the swishing sound of raindrops falling on the Wanxiang tree, he picked up a snail in his mouth, and the taste of the sweet and spicy sauce exploded between his taste buds, which tasted very good.

Eating snails alone, drinking beer alone, and watching the rain curtain under the dim old light bulb alone, he couldn't help but think of some past events in Beijing.

Compared with returning to his hometown, he felt that his life in Beijing was truly boring.

As a chef, his daily job was to work in the kitchen, and his daily life was a straight line between two points, the hotel and the rental house.

There he only had teachers and co-workers, no friends. In fact, his work in the hotel was not smooth, because his personality seemed a bit lonely to many people.

I drank a bottle of beer until the morning. Half of the snails on the plate were gone, and there were a pile of snail shells on the small table.

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter and the rain was not going to stop, Ao Muyang simply cleaned up, closed the door and went back to bed to continue sleeping.

He made a rule for himself not to go out to sea on rainy days.

The idiom "continuous autumn rain" is absolutely correct. A small rain lasted until late October. After this rain, the taste of autumn became completely strong, as if autumn came with the rain.

The trees in and outside the village suddenly dropped a lot of leaves after a rain. The weather became cold, and the children wore long sleeves and long pants. The weeds turned yellow, but the vegetables in the yard were still green.

After the heavy rain stopped, Ao Muyang still couldn't go out to sea. The humidity in the air was too high, and there was a heavy fog on the sea. Ports everywhere were blocked.

He couldn't go out to sea like this. After resting for a few days, he felt a little bored, so he sent a message to Lu Zhizi, asking her if she wanted to go hiking together.

Dalong Mountain is often rich in products in autumn. It just rained, so the mountain must be very beautiful.

Lu Zhizi responded readily. She was a girl who could not sit still. When Ao Muyang went to see her on weekends, she changed into a mountaineering outfit and waited at the school gate.

Ao Muyang was used to female teachers wearing long skirts and short skirts. When he suddenly saw her wearing a windbreaker, a baseball cap and sunglasses, he did not dare to recognize her for a while.
