Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

Chapter 73: Spicy garlic and five flavors, all arranged!

"Where did you catch the crayfish?"

Fu Wan quickly took a bucket from the side and put all the crayfish on the ground into it.

Shen Lingling laughed, her face full of excitement that she couldn't hide.

"Mom, Brother Zhenxing took me to the fields to catch loaches, but the fields were full of shrimps!"

She immediately recognized this thing as a smaller version of the lobster her mother caught, but Ye Zhenxing told her that it would not taste good because it had less meat.

Shen Lingling didn’t believe it. The lobster her mother made last time was delicious!

She was also a stubborn person and was not afraid of being pinched by the lobsters. She put her little hands on the lobsters' backs and put them into her pockets one by one.

When Fu Wan saw her covered in mud, she didn't know whether to laugh or be angry.

It is natural for children to love playing, but with so many clothes on, I don’t know how long it will take to wash them today.

After taking Shen Lingling to wash her hands, Fu Wan checked her hands again to see if there were any wounds caused by the lobster, and only then did she feel relieved.

"Next time something like this happens, ask your mom to come. If the lobster pinches you, you'll just cry with your hands folded!"

It is not easy to give an injection at this time. The lobster pinch may seem like a minor injury, but it can easily become infected if not handled properly.

Shen Lingling knew Fu Wan was angry, so she hurried forward to try to please her. "Mom, I know I was wrong. I was just thinking that this lobster was delicious, even though Mom made it for me before. But Brother Zhenxing said it wasn't tasty!"

Seeing her flattering expression, Fu Wan quickly wiped the mud off her face.

Looking at the lively crayfish in the bucket, Fu Wan also felt her mouth watering.

This crayfish is different from the small blue crayfish in the sea. Although it has less meat, that’s the fun of eating it.

"Come on, mom will take you to catch it!"

Li Chunhua had gone out long ago and no one knew what she was doing. Fu Wan found a pair of clean high-top rain boots behind the house and put them on directly.

There are leeches in this field. If you get stuck and bitten by one, it would be fatal.

Not to mention that the bite wounds can attract a lot of leeches in the water. Fu Wan got goosebumps just thinking about it.

When she was a child, she stayed at the Ye family for a while and went to the fields with Ye Zhenxing's father to plant rice seedlings. As a result, she was bitten by a leech. She thought it was a water snail without a shell.

I tried to pull it apart and found that my leg was bitten and bleeding. After that, I never dared to go to the fields bare legs again.

As for changing Shen Lingling's clothes, I was too lazy to do it. It was hot at this time, so I just waited until she had fun and then went back to take a shower.

Shen Lingling skipped and danced as she led Fu Wan to the edge of the field. Fu Wan, carrying a bucket, saw many women also carrying buckets.

I guess it was because Fu San collected loaches and eels today that everyone got excited.

"Awan, these shrimps are not tasty, there is not much meat!"

The person who was speaking was Li Chunhua's good sister, Aunt Liu, who lived next door to Ye Jianguo's house.

She knew Fu Wan and had watched her grow from a child to a young lady. Now she was also a mother.

Fu Wan smiled and said, "Aunt, these shrimps go well with wine. I'll grab some and make some for my uncle."

Aunt Liu didn't know how to eat this thing with wine, and she thought that Fu Wan's family lived by the sea, so she would probably be curious about these things in the river.

"These shrimps came from the riverside after the heavy rain a few days ago. They're everywhere in the fields. If you catch them, you can prevent them from destroying the crops."

Fu Wan looked around and saw that, sure enough, among the newly grown rice seedlings, red crayfish were everywhere, holding up their big claws to show off their power.

"Just be careful when you grab them, don't step on the seedlings!"

Fu Wan nodded, "Aunt, I know."

The seedlings are now neatly arranged. The villagers took a bucket of seedlings and planted them one by one along the straight line. Because they had to bend over to plant the seedlings, they often couldn't straighten their backs after a whole day.

Fu Wan knew how difficult this was for everyone, so she simply asked Shen Lingling to wait under a shady tree.

Shen Lingling refused to do that. She simply ran to the ditch beside the field and squatted beside it to catch the shrimps in the ditch.

The field was indeed full of shrimps. Fu Wan only spent less than half an hour picking them up, and the bucket that reached her knees was full.

Why did she say "picking up"? Because there were so many! This was similar to picking lobsters directly at the market in her previous life. She was wearing gloves, so she was not afraid of the lobster claws at all.

"Ring, go home!"

A bucket of lobsters is enough for you to clean up by yourself. Lobsters are not difficult to cook or catch, but they are troublesome to clean up.

Fortunately, there is no pesticide or sewage in the fields now, so they are relatively clean.

When Shen Lingling heard Fu Wan's call, she quickly put the harvest she had piled aside back into her pocket.

"Mom, I caught a lot too!"

Shen Lingling showed her pockets to Shen Lingling as if she was showing off her treasures. They were full of lobsters and a few loaches. Fu Wan looked at her covered in mud and felt a throbbing pain on her forehead.

Not to mention cleaning up the lobster, I have to clean up the child's clothes first when I get home.

After returning to the Ye family, Fu Wan poured out the lobsters in a large basin, then took a clean piece of clothing and took Shen Lingling into the compartment in the backyard.

The Ye family built a square bathroom behind the yard. They just had to bring the bath water in and take it out after rinsing.

Li Chunhua had prepared the bath water early in the morning and placed it in the yard to dry. The bucket that Fu Wan was holding was a little warm, just right for washing the little girl.

After finally washing her baby clean, Fu Wan put her baby's clothes in the bucket, and the remaining water in the bucket instantly turned into muddy water.

"Look how dirty these clothes are!"

Shen Lingling had just changed into clean clothes and was smiling happily, but when she looked into the bucket, she frowned.

"Wow, that's dirty!"

Fu Wan said angrily, "If you come back with clothes this dirty again next time, you'll have to wash them yourself!"

Shen Lingling nodded quickly, "Mom, I won't do it again!"

Fu Wan let her play by herself because she was the best, and then washed the clothes twice before hanging them on the pole.

Seeing that it was already past four o'clock, she quickly cleaned all the crayfish, and then began to remove the gills and brush them clean one by one.

When Li Chunhua came back, she saw Fu Wan sitting at the door brushing shrimps, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Awan, get up quickly. I'll clean up."

Fu Wan smiled and refused, "I'll be able to do it, Aunt, will my cousins be back tonight?"

Fu Wan's cousins all went to work at the village dam. They were provided with lunch at noon, but no one knew what happened at night.

"Come back, I'll be back in a while!"

Only then did Li Chunhua notice that these shrimps were actually crayfish, but they looked pleasing to the eye after Fu Wan cleaned them up.

"These shrimps have little meat and are not very tasty!"

Fu Wan smiled mysteriously, "This is good stuff, garlic, spicy and five-spice, it's incredibly delicious!"

Li Chunhua was dumbfounded. She knew garlic sauce, but she knew what spicy and five-spice dishes were. She hadn't seen her niece in such a long time, how could she be so capable?!
