Golden Fishing Village

This time he chose a good location. There are many crabs on the bottom of the lake. The water here is not deep, there are many water plants, many stones on the bottom of the lake, and many crabs survive.

After a while, he began to turn the roller nailed to the bamboo pole to reel in the fishing line. When the fishing line slowly emerged from the water, a big claw appeared.

Seeing this, Ao Muyang immediately swung the rod and caught the crab neatly.

This is a big crab from Ye County, which is fat and has delicious meat.

The crab landed on the boat and wanted to run away, but Youfu went up and overturned it.

But the crab is not as clumsy as a turtle. Once it is overturned, it is helpless. Its legs swayed, and its two strong claws pushed against the boat board, and its round body immediately turned over.

After getting up, the crab did not rush to escape. It stared at Youfu with its two exposed black eyes, spitting white foam from its mouth, and waved its big claws sideways to rush towards Youfu.

The tourist's eyes blurred, and the crab had already slipped out several dozen centimeters and rushed to Youfu, clamping it with one claw.

Youfu pulled up an onion from a dry land, and when it landed, it jumped on the crab, and pressed it down like a pagoda suppressing a river monster.

The crab was helpless now, and it tried to wave its big claws, but it couldn't turn around. Being pressed down on the shell was like being hit in the vitals. Although it could still dance and chirp, it could only scare a person.

The tourist was surprised: "It crawls very fast, I thought crabs crawled very slowly."

Ao Muyang shook his head: "How could it be? Crabs move very fast on the shore. What you see is a freshwater crab. If it is a sea crab, it will be even faster!"

He held the crab with both hands and handed it to the tourist, saying: "I give it to you. The crab roe of this crab is absolutely fat. If you know how to eat crabs, this crab is enough for you to have a big drink."

Later, he caught crabs one after another. The tourists were itching to catch crabs, so they asked the boat captain for a fishing rod and hung a piece of meat on the hook to catch crabs.

As a result, he couldn't catch any here. Either the bait was eaten by the crab and only an empty rod was retrieved, or although he caught the crab, it would escape when he lifted it out of the water.

Seeing the tourist frustrated, Ao Muyang shook his head and shared his experience with him: "You can't do this. You can't be impatient when fishing for crabs. You have to keep calm and don't rush to reel in the rod. But if you feel that a crab has taken the bait, then slowly reel in the line first, and when the crab is about to emerge from the water, quickly pull the line and pull the crab up quickly, without giving it a chance to escape."

After floating on the lake for half a day, he took a basket of crabs home and steamed them for dinner at night.

This is the last day to eat crabs. After entering November, the weather will become colder and colder. Crabs are cold in nature, so they can't be eaten at that time.

Eating crabs requires a golden September and silver October. These two months are the golden season for eating crabs. Most crabs at the end of October are not so fat, but after they have experienced the autumn wind, the locals call them autumn wind crabs, and they taste unique.

After he returned home, he cleaned the crabs, and the general lay beside him and teased the crabs with his claws.

Palm-sized crabs crawled on the ground. They couldn't run far. If they wanted to escape, the general would wave his claws and knock them over.

The crabs were enraged and tried to catch him with their claws. However, the general was quick-witted and pulled back his claws whenever his big claws were about to touch his claws, which always left the crabs helpless.

Seeing this, Ao Muyang said, "Don't play around. Be honest. Don't scream if you get caught."

He was worried that the general would play the crabs to death.

After hearing his words, the general immediately retracted his claws and got up to look at the door.

Ao Muyang was wondering why the general was so obedient today. When he looked at the door, he realized that someone had come.

He turned his head and saw footsteps. Lu Hu walked into the door with a big belly and a smile: "Brother Xiaoyang, haha, long time no see!"

Ao Muyang was very surprised and stood up and said: "Oh, Brother Hu is here. Aren't you in Beijing recently? When did you come back?"

Lu Hu hasn't come here much in recent months because he went to Beijing and stayed there.

Lu Hu's business is expanding in the direction of Beijing, thanks to Ao Muyang, because the Zhuantou Island Fishery provides him with a steady supply of rare and high-value seafood, which gives him the confidence to enter the high-end seafood market in other places.

"I came back the day before yesterday and dealt with some business matters. I came to your place today to have a drink." Lu Hu smiled.

"Ouch!" The general screamed violently.

Lu Hu laughed even more happily: "Haha, General, are you saying hello to me?"

What a fart hello, the general raised his hind paws with a grin and shook them, his two big claws clamped his claws tightly - just now he was paying attention to Lu Hu, and was caught by the crab without noticing!

His hind claws kicked a few times, but it was useless, the crabs hated him so much, and after clamping their big claws, they refused to let go anyway.

Ao Muyang went to find a basin of water and put his claws in it. The crabs loosened their claws after entering the water and ran away in the basin, trying to escape.

But where could it escape?

The general only remembered to eat and not to be beaten. Seeing the culprit imprisoned in the basin, he pounced on it and slapped it with his claws, slapping the water in the basin all over the floor.

Ao Muyang had to find a ball to throw out to lure it away, otherwise it would cause trouble if he stayed here.

Lu Hu is coming, he has to prepare a good meal.

Lu Hu was tired of eating crabs, but they were also good as a side dish for drinking. He took out the freshly brewed mountain wine, cut some pickled fist vegetables and halved a pig's head.

Just then, a villager passed by his door after catching snails. Ao Muyang waved and said, "Second brother, give me some. I have guests at home. Let's make snails to go with the wine."

The village man said readily, "Okay, I'll give you half. Do you have perilla leaves at home? If not, I'll go back and get some for you."

Perilla is a herb, also known as Guiren, Baisu, Chisu, etc. Perilla leaves are also called Suye, which has the functions of dispelling cold, promoting qi and harmonizing the stomach. It is mainly used to treat colds, coughs, chest and abdominal distension, nausea and vomiting.

This dish can be used to stir-fry snails, which can not only remove the fishy smell, but also make the snail meat fresh and tender.

The snails that the man caught have been processed. The snail tails were cut off by the lake and washed with lake water, so they can be put into the pot directly.

Ao Muyang took the sweet noodle sauce, first added hot oil to stir-fry the main ingredients such as onion, ginger, garlic, pepper and star anise, and after the aroma came out, added the dried chili pepper, then the sweet noodle sauce and perilla leaves, and finally added the snails and stir-fried.

A small pot of fried snails, a pot of steamed crabs, fist vegetables, sea jelly, braised meat and other side dishes were placed on the table. He also brought out an electric frying pan, added soup ingredients to it and used it for hot pot.

Lu Hu brought meat and wine. The wine was aged white wine, and the meat was lamb meat that his friend from the northwest sent by express delivery. Ao Muyang cut it into slices with a sharp knife, which was most suitable for hot pot.
