Chapter 341 Very considerate
Xu Yuan was processing shrimps by the fish pond, and the two brothers Pan Dahai, as well as Tie Niu and Luo Xile also came over carrying small bamboo baskets.
He greeted Xuyuan with excitement, opened the lid of the small bamboo basket, and handed the things inside to Xuyuan to see.
"Hey, Sister Xuyuan, look!" Pan Dahai never smiled again, and the look of surprise on Xuyuan's face became even more intense when he saw her.
As expected, Sister Xuyuan is extraordinary. She is not afraid at all when seeing such a scary thing.
"Wow, you guys can do it." Xuyuan praised.
There were several fat frogs in the basket. The children were very creative. They tied up the feet of each frog with straw.
"Of course, Sister Xuyuan, I'll give you a few to take back and try." Pan Dahai said generously, catching two frogs and putting them on the ground.
"And mine."
"I have it too."
Several children took frogs out of the baskets.
"Okay, I can't eat that much, so I'll just take one each."
Pan Dahai even emptied out his small bamboo basket and handed it to Xu Yuan to put the frogs in.
In exchange, Xuyuan caught a handful of river shrimp for each person.
The children were also surprised and happy, and asked one after another how to make it delicious. Xuyuan told them one by one.
What a kind and simple child!
Since there were shrimps, fish and snails, the frogs were not taken. Two were given each to Uncle Wang Liu's family and Xu Qing's family, and the rest were poured into the wooden barrel.
It was noon, the sun was hanging overhead, and it was very hot. The fishermen had already put away their fishing gear and were carrying buckets of fish they had caught and putting them under the shade of the trees.
The aroma of grilled fish is stimulating everyone's taste buds.
……
"Ayuan, what kind of meat is this?"
Gu Qinghan moved closer to Xu Yuan, holding a piece of roasted clam meat, and asked softly.
Gu Qinghan went home, changed his wet clothes, and hurried over. He saw Xu Yuan was the only one left in his own open space. The corners of his mouth curled up and he walked forward.
Not far away, Gu Qingming, Guo Zi and many others were holding bowls and approaching Liu Yuelai's stove, which was specially used for children, and were eating snails with relish.
A few men who wanted to drink some wine also gathered together, eating grilled fish with big mouthfuls and sipping wine with small sips. Village chief Gu also joined them.
A few women gathered together to chat about family matters, and the girls also sat together alone, laughing and joking.
The stove built for making a wish was not in the center, but in a corner. Everyone was working hard to cook and no one noticed this place.
"Clam meat, eh, looks like this."
There were a few steaming vegetables lying on the stone slab, and several skewers of grilled fish and shrimps were placed on the wooden rack.
Xuyuan pointed to the clam shell placed aside and said.
"So much meat from such a big clam shell?" Gu Qinghan said with disdain and stuffed the last remaining piece into Xuyuan's mouth.
Xu Yuan was almost choked by the unexpected mouthful of meat he was fed. "This is specially reserved for you, why don't you eat it?"
"Well, I don't want to eat it. I'll give it to you." Gu Qinghan picked up a string of roasted river shrimps and took a bite. The heads and tails had been removed and they were roasted to a golden brown. They were coated with Xuyuan's special seasoning, which did not cover up the freshness of the shrimps. The taste was amazing.
"By the way, Gu Qinghan, thank you for helping me prepare some of the Cantonese dishes."
Xu Yuan still remembers what happened with Guangcai a few days ago. No matter what, he should be thanked for the man who works silently.
I don’t know whether the man did it in the middle of the night or got up before dark to help.
"What are you thanking me for? I'm happy to do it." Gu Qinghan pinched Xu Yuan's cheek, his eyes gentle, and replied softly.
Xu Yuan slapped Gu Qinghan's hand away, "Gu Qinghan, stop pinching my face."
What is it like? Making a wish feels very childish, just like teasing a child.
Before Gu Qinghan could open his mouth, someone else spoke first.
"Oh my God! What are you doing?"
A loud scream came from the back of the woods.
Xu Yuan stood up quickly, covered the person's mouth, and pulled the person aside.
Gu Qinghan raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
……
In the woods
"Oh, Xu Yuan, I really didn't expect that you and Gu Qinghan..." Chen Biyun looked at Xu Yuan with a gossipy look on her face and tapped the index fingers of both hands lightly.
"Hey...what do you want from me?"
"Also, can you keep this a secret for me?"
Xu Yuan coughed lightly with some embarrassment, and did not continue talking about Chen Biyun's topic, but chose another topic.
"Look at what you said. I'm not one of those gossipy women in the village. And can't I come to you if I have nothing to do? Oh, did I disturb you? Hahaha..." Chen Biyun realized it belatedly and said with a embarrassed smile. She just saw a very novel combination, and her mouth acted before her brain.
It's still a bit rude. How can you disturb others? You should just turn around and leave quietly.
"Make a wish, I remember I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Chen Biyun patted Xu Yuan's shoulder with a smile on her face, and left without waiting for Xu Yuan to answer.
Make a wish: Confused face.
Looking at Chen Biyun who was walking further and further away, Xu Yuan sighed helplessly.
It’s still... quite thoughtful.
When I came back, it was another mess.
Xu Yuan felt like laughing when he saw Li Junyong and Gu Qinghan frantically catching the frogs that had crawled out of the ground.
He stepped on a frog that jumped towards him, then bent down and grabbed it in his hand.
"Phew! That's great. I almost got into big trouble. I wish you came back just in time." Li Junyong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the last slippery frog was caught. He slumped down on the ground, ignoring the mud on the ground.
Xuyuan put the caught frogs into the bucket and covered it with a lid.
Asked the two, "What's going on?"
"It's my fault. I heard from the village chief that you caught some frogs. I was curious and wanted to see what it looked like. As a result, when I opened the lid, I was startled by a frog that suddenly jumped out. I accidentally knocked over the barrel, and it became like this." Li Junyong took the initiative to take responsibility for the mistake and explained embarrassedly, grabbing a handful of dirt on the ground and wiped his sticky hands.
Gu Qinghan looked at Xu Yuan and spread his hands with an innocent look on his face.
Are you kidding? This is the delicacy that Ayuan wants to eat. How could I possibly let it run away?
"But, Xuyuan, the skin of this frog looks so scary, how can we eat it?"
Li Junyong felt a little disgusted, as if the sticky touch was still in his hand. Li Junyong would never try it unless it was absolutely necessary.
This girl is really extraordinary. If it were any other girl, she would be scared to death and would never eat it.
Xu Yuan chuckled, "How do I eat it? Once the skin is peeled off, the white and tender meat is revealed. It's very delicious."
Especially since it is a pure natural environment, there is no pollution, no parasites or anything like that.
"Skinning?"
It must be said, this idea is very wishful.
