Chapter 153 Digging Loach

Su Jinse seemed to have been triggered, "San brother, let's dig loaches in the paddy fields."

"Digging loaches? How to dig?" Zhang Zhiwen suddenly felt energetic and asked with an excited look: "What tools are needed?"

Su Jinse smiled mysteriously: "No, we just need to bring a bucket and a basket."

The two set off with buckets and backpacks and found their own fields in the valley.

It was already late autumn, and the rice in the paddy fields had been harvested, leaving only piles of rice stems piled up in the fields.

Su Jinse rolled up his trousers and sleeves, stood in the ditch, blocking one end of the ditch with rice stems and soil, so that no water would flow down. Then he drained the water from the ditch from the other end, and waited for the water to dry up, and dug it into the ditch with a pair of small hands.

Every time a tuft of field mud is dug out, a fat loach is hidden inside.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhiwen's eyes lit up, "Sister, you are so awesome! You can catch loaches with bare hands!"

"San brother, you can do it too, it's very simple." Su Jinse smiled.

"Okay, look at me." Zhang Zhiwen also started digging. He dug from the other end of the ditch. Looking at the fat loach in his hand, he shouted excitedly: "Sister, your method of catching loaches is really good!"

The loaches without water are very easy to catch. They are accurate when they catch them. After they are caught, they are thrown into the basket.

He had caught loaches before, but he couldn't catch any of them. The loaches were too slippery and they suddenly got into the soil and couldn't find them no matter how hard they looked for them.

But my sister's method is so good!

"Is this method of catching loaches also told you?" Before Su Jinse could answer, Zhang Zhiwen shouted.

Su Jinse tilted her head and looked serious: "Yes."

In fact, the way to dig loaches was to follow her grandfather in the countryside when she was a child. Seeing her grandfather digging like this, she was deeply impressed at that time, so she remembered that she just had a try-and-see attitude here, but she didn't expect that there were loaches hidden in this ditch.

The two of them just dug such a ditch and dug half of their backpacks, which was enough to eat three meals!

"Sister, why don't we dig the remaining ditches too." Zhang Zhiwen said with high spirits.

Su Jinse shook his head: "The sun is going to set. If we dig another trenches, it will definitely be too late. It is not safe in the valley at night. Let's go home soon."

Zhang Zhiwen felt that his sister was right, so the two of them got on the field stalk, cleaned the loaches in the basket, put clean water in the bucket, and then poured all the loaches into the bucket.

Seeing the fat loaches swimming in the bucket, Zhang Zhiwen was so excited that he almost drooled.

"Brother Third, this loach has just been dug home and can't be eaten. I have to keep it for a day and spit out the mud." Su Jinse smiled.

Zhang Zhiwen said: "I understand! Loaches and snail lions like to live in the mud, so they all need to spit out mud, right?"

"Yeah!" Su Jinse nodded.

"Hahaha... OK, then let's eat loach tomorrow night!" Zhang Zhiwen lifted the bucket and said to Su Jinse: "Sister, let's go and go home."

"Okay." Su Jinse pursed her lips and smiled slightly, lifted the other side of the bucket, and carried it home with Zhang Zhiwen.

The water and loaches were quite heavy and could not be lifted by one person.

The brother and sister walked towards the village together.
