Chapter 28 An Unexpected Harvest of River Shrimp

Liushuwan is named after the winding Qingshui River and a large willow tree that can only be hugged by several people at the entrance of the village.

Baiyunxi took Yaya by the hand and walked along the river to the back mountain, looking at the fields on both sides of the river bank. Because they are close to the water source and easy to irrigate, the crops are growing well.

The village she came to is located in the central part of Song State. It has four distinct seasons and has both paddy fields and dry land.

Most paddy fields are excellent fields. They are close to the water source and have high yields. One mu of good fields is worth eight to ten strings of money and are in great demand.

Dry land is generally barren, with low yields and cheap prices. One mu of dry land can be bought for two strings of money.

Because of the illness of the old scholar, her family currently has only two mu of dry land left.

Two mu of land is needed to feed eight people, and it is not enough to eat soil.

Alas, what a broken system. She has always worked diligently and never disturbed public order. Why did she send her to this poor mountain village?

Even the rats at home don't even bother to visit. She is asked to lead a group of naughty kids on the right path. What did she do to offend anyone?

Just as she complained, a virtual electronic screen popped up next to her with a line of words on it.

'Teach your son to take the right path, and the host can enjoy a salted fish life at the peak of his life. '

Humph, you just paint a rosy picture for her. If you are really sincere, give her 100 kilograms of food to get through the current difficulties?

As soon as this idea came out, the system escaped.

Bai Yunxi shook the corners of his lips speechlessly. The summer heat made people a little irritable.

The riverside was lush with water plants and shaded by trees. When the breeze blew, circles of water ripples appeared on the river surface. The sparkling light in the sun could make people feel a little less dry and a little cooler.

Bai Yunxi squinted his eyes to feel it. The only benefit of coming here is that the air is good, the oxygen content is high, and the food is pollution-free.

Just as he sighed, Bai Yunxi found a few clusters of water celery growing in the pool in front of him.

"Yaya, wait for grandma here. I'll go down to pick some vegetables."

"Okay."

Bai Yunxi carried the basket and went down to the riverbank. She picked a small bundle of water celery that she knew, tied it up with a piece of water grass, and put it in the basket. Finally, she had a dish for lunch.

Looking at the celery juice on her hands, Bai Yunxi pulled away the water grass to wash her hands, and found that there were many lively shrimps hidden under the water grass.

There are small shrimps here?

What about river seafood?

Although they are not big, they are really dense.

Bai Yunxi looked at the clear riverbed and the green water grass, and almost laughed out loud. It is said that if you live by the mountain, you can eat the mountain, and if you live by the river, you can eat the river. Isn't this right in front of you?

Another dish can be added to lunch, dry-roasted small river shrimps.

Bai Yunxi put the water celery on the stone next to it, and picked a few leaves of bird of paradise next to it, and simply wove them into a simple basket.

After the preparations were done, Bai Yunxi looked around, took off his shoes, and paddled back and forth in the water plants with a basket, driving all the small river shrimps together, and then scooped them up with the basket.

After a while, the leaf basket was full, and there were two palm-sized crucian carps unexpectedly.

Looking at the lively river shrimps and two lively crucian carps, Bai Yunxi carefully held the bottom of the leaves, put them in the basket, covered them with water celery, put on his shoes, went ashore, and took Yaya home.

"Grandma, aren't we going to the mountains?"

"Not for the time being, let's send the vegetables home and go fishing by the river later."

Guarding the river without eating river food is really a waste of natural resources.

In my memory, not many people in the village eat fish, and they occasionally buy them in town, and few people go to the river to catch fish.
