He was so frightened that he dropped the fishing rod in his hand. He stood up and walked to his wife, staring at the thin rope, or to be exact, the thing on the toad's belly.

There were three of them, which looked like shrimps but had bigger heads. They were all lifted out of the water, but their pincers were still tightly clamped on the toad's legs, and would not let go.

"Is this a shrimp?" Xue Wenyu guessed. Mu Yingbao smiled and gave him some scientific advice; "This thing is called Protocera clarkii, also known as freshwater shrimp.

Lobsters and red shrimps look very similar to shrimps, but their shells are very hard. They are omnivorous, grow very fast, and have strong adaptability, so they grow very fast.

They have a wide range of food, eating everything from water plants and algae to aquatic insects and dead animals.

When food is scarce, they will kill each other.

The most important thing is that this thing is very delicious when cooked, especially when used as a side dish for drinking. This thing can improve immunity, remove blood stasis and detoxify, promote lactation, and strengthen yang and kidney. "

Mu Yingbao loves delicious food, so when it comes to her favorite ingredients, she is very detailed.

But there is one thing she is not sure about: in modern times, crayfish are actually an alien species.

At first, it was considered a pest.

Because they are very destructive, it is not a good thing if they are found on dams or canals.

I don't know when it started, or who first discovered that this thing can be made into a dish and it is very delicious.

Therefore, since the wild caught ones could no longer satisfy the appetites of foodies, some people started to breed them artificially.

There are many ways to cook crayfish, and it is also an indispensable dish for midnight snacks. As she spoke, she skillfully put the crayfish she caught into the wooden barrel she brought.

After listening to what she had just introduced, Xue Wenyu's eyes widened when he mentioned the four words "strengthening yang and tonifying the kidney".

Oh, it's so good, this is good, it's much better than the coriander I had at noon. "Which one tastes better, this or the mantis shrimp?" Xue Wenyu also thought of a question.

When I was looking for her on the beach, I heard that she taught the locals how to eat mantis shrimp, and it was rumored to be very delicious.

But I was in a hurry to find Brother Hui at that time, so I had no mood to taste the mantis shrimp.

Later, when he returned to the capital, he did eat it and thought it was delicious. However, Brother Hui and Old Man Tao said that the taste of the frozen ones was far different from the fresh ones cooked at the seaside.

At that time, Xue Wenyu felt unwilling and regretful, because his wife taught everyone how to eat that delicacy, and there was no reason for him not to have the chance to taste it made from fresh mantis shrimp.

Now, I finally have the chance to taste the new delicacies before others. "They are not the same thing, and they taste different. I will make them for you when I get back."

Eat it, you will know after you try it." After Mu Yingbao finished speaking, he took the lobster off another string and put it into the bucket.

"Yingbao, this thing isn't available anywhere else, right? I mean, Brother Hui and the old man haven't eaten it either, right?" In order to make sure that he would be lucky enough to taste the delicacy first this time, he deliberately asked.

When the wife heard this, she looked around nervously. "Jin, I don't know if there are other places with this stuff, but here, no one knows that they can be used to make food. I fished and cooked them secretly.

So, the son and the old man have never seen or eaten it. "Really? That's great. But you can tell everyone in Shihai Village that Pi

Prawns can be made into delicious dishes, and we teach them how to cook so that they can earn money to supplement their family income.

Why is it kept secret here?" Xue Wenyu asked without thinking.

Mu Yingbao rolled her eyes at him and said, "Are you stupid? This is the only lake here that has lobsters. I'm the only one who knows about it. I can catch some often to satisfy my cravings.

If I tell others, they will all come to catch them and they will be all gone in no time. Where will I be able to catch more food?"

Xue Wenyu laughed when he heard this. His wife is steady and thinks long-term!

"When we go back, we'll catch more and bring them back so that they can have a taste. And then we'll put some in the lotus pond in the palace's imperial garden, and after the New Year we'll have two years' supply for our own consumption." Mu Yingbao's plan went perfectly.

From now on, I will have one more delicious midnight snack. I feel happy just thinking about it.

"Okay, let's go fishing for a few days, then buy a carriage and a big bathtub." Xue Wenyu also suggested.

Mu Yingbao nodded in agreement, but suddenly realized a problem. He grabbed a rope and started fishing for lobsters with excitement.

“You don’t fish anymore?” she asked.

Xue Wenyu didn't even turn his head, staring at the lake; "Let's not fish for now, fish can be caught anywhere, this is my first time trying it, it's new."

Mu Yingbao listened to this frank talk and said nothing. The two of them each held a frog leg and fished for lobsters. "How can this thing be so stupid with such a big head? It's been lifted out of the water, but it's still holding on to the frog leg." Xue Wenyu also took out a string of lobsters and said it was very interesting. "Because it's greedy." Mu Yingbao responded with a smile.

When they went out, they were mentally prepared that they might encounter some unexpected things by the lake, but they didn't expect that the surroundings were very quiet and nothing happened.

In less than half an hour, the two of them caught half a bucket of lobsters.

Xue Wenyu was considered to be thin enough, and thinking of his wife's hard work along the way, he drank some fish soup to replenish his body.

So he picked up the fishing rod again, put bait on it again, and started fishing for his wife.

"In fact, we can live here in the future, and build a small house by the lake. In winter, we can skate on the lake, and in summer, we can go fishing for crayfish, fish, eat snails, and enjoy the lotus. At night, we can even swim together." Xue Wenyu now has a habit. No matter where he is, as long as he sees mountains and water and nice scenery, he will imagine in his mind where he and his wife will live in the future.

It's like a conditioned reflex has been formed.

"Okay." Mu Yingbao didn't object. On the contrary, she was very happy.

Because he had already started planning to leave the palace.

Although she was reluctant to leave Hui Ge's child, Hui Ge's special identity meant that they were destined not to be together forever.

She knew that it didn't matter if she and Xue Wenyu had to stay in the palace forever, but they would definitely have children in the future. She hoped that her children could live in a stable environment and grow up happily and without worries.

She didn't want her children to live in the complicated environment of the palace.

Brother Hui's identity does not allow him to escape. Since he has chosen this path, he must go to the end.

However, you can have choices when it comes to your own children.

Thinking of the child, Mu Yingbao was a little worried. There was nothing wrong with her body, so why was her stomach not responding...
