Chapter 1243 Shrimp at the Time of Popularity (2 in 1)
At the beginning, Little Pea was still a little tangled and apprehensive.
After all, Dad said that the cage would be pulled out of the water in the evening.
And now, it's obviously not evening yet.
However, when he pulled out the submerged shrimp cage and the end tied with the rope appeared in front of his eyes, all these things in his heart disappeared, and the rest was only intense excitement and joy!
"Shrimp! Shrimp! Lots and lots of shrimp!"
Before Little Pea could open her mouth excitedly, the children watching on the side started shouting loudly, jumping and jumping.
Little Pea's face turned red with excitement.
Originally, when he was excited, he also wanted to yell a few times, but after hearing the excited yells of the friends next to him, he suppressed this idea.
He didn't speak, and apart from a flushed face, there wasn't much joy on his face.
However, those crooked eyes betrayed all the joy in his heart.
Little Pea continued to pull the rope with her hands, and soon pulled the whole shrimp pot to her.
Immediately, he grabbed the head of the cage with his right hand, and began to put away the shrimp cages that could be put together piece by piece.
When the water came out of the shrimp cage, many sounds could be heard. It was the shrimp in the cage, after leaving the water, struggling blindly in panic and colliding with other shrimps, making the sound.
This sound can only be heard when there are many shrimps in the shrimp cage. When there are few shrimps in the shrimp cage, these noises cannot be heard at all.
After taking out the whole shrimp cage and dragging it ashore, looking at the harvest in the cage, Little Pea couldn't hold back anymore, her face was full of joy.
It is really a big harvest this time!
The harvest is mainly concentrated in the upper part of the cage.
There is a section of about fifty centimeters of net made of linen, and there are no holes in it like the rest of the place.
At the beginning, Little Pea didn't understand this, and didn't understand why Dad didn't make a hole in this section.
If there are some holes left on this section, then if one more hole is added, won't the prawns caught be more?
But such doubts have completely disappeared now.
Because these shrimps that entered the cage had already personally shown him the true purpose of this section of the cage.
It's no wonder that everyone present is so happy, there are too many shrimps in the shrimp cage at this time!
Collected there, there is a big pimple!
More than five catties!
There are also some in other places in the cage, but they are all sporadic.
When we reached the end of the cage, there were a lot more shrimps there, weighing almost half a catty.
However, with the existence of those shrimps at the front end, the shrimp at the end is not very conspicuous.
It's normal for such a situation to happen, because there is a circular passage in each section of the cage.
One end is big and one end is small.
The smaller end faces the head end, and the larger end faces the tail end.
After the shrimp enters the cage, it usually crawls from the big end to the small end.
After walking through the connected passages one by one, they came to the front end of the shrimp cage and gathered there.
As for the shrimps at the end of the shrimp cage, they are retrograde ones.
The yelling here was quickly noticed by Han Cheng.
Standing there and listening for a while, Han Cheng couldn't help but shook his head with a smile. These little guys just haven't seen the world, how long did it take for them to put the shrimp cage in? That's four hours at most.
In such a short time, even if there are many shrimps in the river, how many can they get into the cage?
Thinking this way in his heart, he picked up a clay pot from the side and walked out.
All the way to the river, after seeing clearly the harvest in the shrimp cage, the eyes of Han Dashenzi, who just claimed to have seen the world, suddenly became a little big.
Although he knew that there were more shrimps in the river before, he never thought that there would be so many of them!
How long did it take to enter the cage, and so many were caught!
One cage catches more than in later generations, with the same length of shrimp cage, you can harvest more in one day and one night in the river!
"First untie the rope that binds the mouth of the cage, then put the mouth of the cage into the clay pot, then lift the end of the cage, and pour the shrimp inside to the front."
Han Cheng withdrew the surprise on his face, and then said with a smile on his face.
Little Pea next to him was a little scared when he saw his father coming over. After all, he didn't listen to his father and pulled out the cage in advance, fearing that he would be blamed by his father.
But seeing Han Cheng's reaction at this time, after hearing what Han Cheng said, he immediately let go of his heart, and the whole person couldn't help but feel relieved.
He didn't know what to do, so he happily followed what Han Cheng said.
In a short while, the shrimp in the cage was poured into the jar, and most of the jar was filled directly!
Next, Han Chengcheng didn't do anything, but let Xiaowandou do it, and he gave verbal guidance...
The flames under the stove were burning fiercely, illuminating the entire room brightly.
The oil lamps placed on the window sill were dimmed because of the flames.
With the sound of "stinging", some scallions were thrown into the pot, and when they were choked by the hot oil, there was a very pleasant smell of fried scallions, which permeated the room.
After a while, half of the pot was cleaned up, and the marinated shrimp was poured into the pot.
With the turning of the spatula and the continuous heating of the iron pan, the shrimps quickly turned red, and the aroma began to spread...
"Dad eat."
"Witch Eat"
"Mom eats."
While eating, Xiao Wandou faced the prawns in front of her. Although she was already salivating, she still held back her saliva and picked up the prawns with chopsticks, first for Han Cheng and others.
After serving prawns to several people, Xiao Wandou started to pick prawns for herself.
When the little guy started to eat the shrimp, he devoured it hungrily, without vomiting the shrimp skin, and ate it mixed with the shrimp meat.
After eating a dozen or so in a row, the speed slowly slowed down...
In autumn, not only the crabs are fat, after summer and autumn when food is plentiful, even the prawns have become much fatter, with a lot of meat on their bodies, which are very chewy and have a very good taste.
In the past, when people in the tribe went into the fish cage, they would catch some shrimps more or less, but the fish cage was a fish cage after all, not a shrimp cage. Compared with the shrimp cage made by Han Cheng, the shrimp caught was still Much less.
In addition, there was no iron pot in the tribe before, and Han Cheng, a person who can eat and cook, did not cook this dish himself, so except for a few people in the tribe, most of them , I don't have much affection for shrimp, I don't think how delicious this thing is.
But it's different now.
Now that there is an iron pot, and Han Cheng, the number one cook in the tribe, does it himself, shrimp, a food that was not very conspicuous and not valued by the Qingque tribe in the past, immediately entered the sight of everyone in the tribe. middle.
Of course, this is not a very good thing, at least for the shrimp in the river, it is not a very good thing.
In the past, there were so many fish in the tribal river, but now it is far from so many, so that the tribe built a fish pond a long time ago to artificially breed these existences.
Now because of Han Cheng, the god son of the Qingque tribe, the people of the Qingque tribe once again set their sights on the river. There is no doubt that the shrimp living in the river will be unlucky...
With the shrimp cage made by Han Cheng, the son of God, the people in the tribe can easily imitate the shrimp cage of the same style, and even some skilled craftsmen can improve on this basis.
Of course, because the outside of the shrimp cage is made of linen that is not of very good quality, limited by this material, it is not very easy to promote it for a while, and it is difficult to form a large scale.
However, there are still many skilled craftsmen in the tribe, especially in weaving.
Restricted by the material of linen, some people in the tribe felt that linen was too precious and could not bear to use it on a large scale, so soon some people used soft branches and broken bamboo strips to weave out the structure. Same shrimp cage.
Of course, this kind of shrimp cage cannot be stretched because of the high hardness of the material. Therefore, it is impossible to stand on the shore and drop it into the water like a shrimp cage made of linen. .
However, among the tribes, there is no shortage of boats and rafts. With the help of these tools, these shrimp cages can also be lowered into the water very well.
I don't know if it's because of the light transmittance or something. This kind of shrimp cage made of bamboo and wood is not as effective as Han Cheng's one made of linen cloth for catching shrimp.
But even so, it is far better than the previous fish cage with shrimps.
And because the number is sufficient, the shrimp in a cage looks very gratifying after being poured out and gathered together!
At least it is possible for the people in the main tribe to have a more satisfying meal.
When there was a craze for catching shrimp and eating shrimp in the Qingque master tribe, Han Cheng, the guy who started the craze, was not in the tribe.
The sky is high and blue, with white clouds scattered in it, which is extraordinarily beautiful.
At the Qingque Shipyard, which is located a few miles downstream of the Qingque Tribe, compared with when Han Cheng left, the various facilities have been improved a lot.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the big ship moored on the shore!
The ship was tall, even if part of it was buried in the water, it was still difficult to cover up its towering hull.
Moored by the river, it is like a house with four or five houses!
For people of this era, such a behemoth can be said to be shocking!
Accompanied by a lame man who looked a lot older than before, Han Cheng climbed up the big sailing ship along the ladder at the bow for a visit.
Obviously, when it comes to sailing, Lai and the others have put in a lot of effort.
The deck is extraordinarily thick and flat, and the thick wooden planks fit perfectly together.
The joints are glued with fish bladder glue.
Of course, bonding is not the main purpose. The most important purpose is to use something like isinglass to seal the gaps that may exist and prevent possible water seepage.
Tung oil, which has an excellent anti-corrosion effect, has not been forgotten, and the wood on the deck has also been painted with several layers of tung oil.
Because the boat is big enough, it can't be shaken by ordinary wind and waves, so walking on it is much more stable.
Although it can't be called walking on flat ground, it is far more than those small boats in the tribe that will sway with a little effort.
The deck, the mast, the ropes, the rails on the gunwale, the unraised sail...
Han Cheng looked at these things one by one, and then, led by a few lame people, went down the fixed ladder all the way to the cabin for a visit.
"This is for the residents, the other is for storing things, and the one here is for storing water..."
After arriving at the cabin, Lie introduced Han Cheng as he walked.
Han Cheng, just like on the deck before, watched with the lame introduction most of the time, and sometimes asked about some things out loud.
After a detailed visit, almost two hours have passed.
"...This time, you really made a great contribution. It's really hard work for you. I'm really satisfied that you were able to complete such a good work in such a short period of time, relying on the current conditions in the tribe!
To be honest, even I, at the beginning, didn't expect that you would be able to complete it so well! "
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Han Cheng stood at the stern of the boat, looked into the distance for a while, and then spoke to the lame and others beside him, with extra emotion and sincerity.
"You are all heroes in the tribe!"
Han Cheng said sincerely to the lame people.
At the end of the speech, God Son Han couldn't help stretching out his hand, and shook hands with the lame people sincerely, without letting go for a long time.
Han Cheng basically never used the handshake gift to people in his tribe.
It is precisely because of this that when it is used against Lie and the others at this time, it will be very precious, and it will make Lie and the others very excited...
Three days later, at the Qingque tribe shipyard, many people gathered here.
Han Cheng, Wu, Senior Brother, Bai Xuemei, Heiwa, Tietou, Shitou, Yuan and other Qingque tribe's respectable people in the main tribe have all come here.
Everyone stood here, facing the same direction together.
What appeared in front of everyone was nothing but the first real big ship of the Qingque Tribe!
Around the railing of the big ship, red cloth was tied, and red flowers were tied in some places.
The side of the ship that faces Han Cheng and the others is still covered with a layer of red cloth...
