110 Qiao Xuan’s Interest
Shao Xiaoqi took off his shoes, rolled up his trousers and tied them around his waist. He threw the net into the root of the seaweed, gave it a push and took a step backwards. Finally, the net was cast out.
There were numerous, bouncing shrimps in the net as well as two finger-size fish that showed their white bellies immediately.
Shao Xiaoqi threw away the leaves and small things out of the net proficiently, and gathered up the fish and shrimp, putting them into the bucket.
Soon after, Qiao Xuan tried to explore the river with her superpower.
Her eyes widened after a moment, and she was excited and motivated.
There were numerous shrimps, fish and crabs swimming in there!
Qiao Xuan could see all the fish and shrimps hidden in the seaweeds clearly.
However, shrimps and fish were not like those plants in the mountains. They were water animals which were flexible and difficult to catch.
Also, what Qiao Xuan could see was invisible to Shao Xiaoqi, so they had to make some effort and needed a bit of luck.
Qiao Xuan felt really sorry to see some large fish swimming away from the net.
“Let me try!” Qiao Xuan intended to go into the water.
But Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao turned her down directly.
Qiao Xuan knew that they were worried about her safety, so she had no choice but to drop the idea.
Therefore, she helped them, standing on the bank.
They were very lucky to have so many wild, fresh fish and shrimps in this era, and with the guidance of Qiao Xuan, they managed to catch some fish every now and then.
There were already crucian carps the size of four fingers, a carp, three yellow peppers the size of two fingers and several small trash fish the size of two or three fingers in the bucket.
Qiao Xuan also made a few attempts, whenever it was within her abilities.
However, she could not catch big fish each time from where she stood.
So after a while, she only managed to catch two large fish.
Suddenly, she saw an old turtle that was bigger than her palm, hidden in a crevice under the water. Qiao Xuan was overjoyed, and hurriedly booed to remind Shao Xiaoqi and pointed it to him.
Shao Xiaoqi nodded and tiptoed there. He bent his back and quickly got the turtle in his hands.
“What a large turtle!”
The turtle was fun. Children from the village would always catch one when they were playing or swimming in the river during summer. They often brought it home as a pet but gradually, the pet would be gone.
Qiao Xuan asked him to put it into the bucket, smiling. “It is really good for soup!”
Seeing the harvest in the bucket, Qiao Xuan smiled. “Time to go home! We have enough to eat today, and can come anytime we want for more!”
There were innumerable fish and shrimps in the river.
Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao nodded.
Shao Xiaoqi went back to the bank and the three of them went home together.
They worked on the shrimps and fish, and left the remaining in the vat for the time being.
The shrimps were dried in the pot, and seasoned with some salt. In this way, they could be stored for three days without turning bad.
Chives were added to fry with shrimps, and eggs were cracked to make pancakes. They would be either deep-fried or pan-fried.

The internal organs of the small fish were removed, wrapped in flour batter, and fried in a pan. It was crispy and delicious.
There were still pickles at home, which could be used for dinner at night. Crucian carp, yellow spicy diced, and unknown fish were used to make a big pot of pickles and miscellaneous fish, with a little pepper added to make it sour and a spicy appetizer.
Qiao Xuan served the fried fish on the plate for Shao Xiaoqi.
The fish were small finger-sized, and the bones were already fried. They could be chewed and crushed easily, so even Shao Junyan and Shao Qing could eat them.
