Chapter 559: Cricket
When he came back from Shendi, the tofu at home had been ground.
At this moment, the two sisters and Tang Yaoyao are busy in the kitchen.
Hearing their chatter, Zhou Ziwen smiled and shook his head.
There was already a girl in the family who liked to chirp, but now there is another one, and it becomes even more lively when the two of them get together.
Together with them, Chen Shiying also talked a lot more under their guidance.
Seeing that they were chatting lively, Zhou Ziwen didn't bother them. He was a little tired after running outside all day today.
He made a cup of tea, took it to the yard, and lay on the deck chair waiting for the meal.
"Brother Zhou, look what I found?"
At this moment, Zhou Chaoyang suddenly ran in from outside in a hurry.
In his hand, he was holding something that looked like a crayfish.
"This is a cricket! Where did you get it?"
Zhou Ziwen took a closer look and immediately recognized what Zhou Chaoyang was holding.
“I just found it when I went to the river. I thought it was crayfish at the time, but later I found out it wasn’t.”
“Brother Zhou, can this thing be eaten?”
Zhou Chaoyang had never seen this thing before. Just now he saw that it looked similar to crayfish, so he ran back to ask.
He didn’t recognize this thing, but Brother Zhou definitely did.
“Of course you can eat it, and it tastes better than crayfish.”
Zhou Ziwen explained.
Crayfish are different from crayfish. Their meat is more tender and delicious.
Crayfish, whether wild or artificially farmed, have an earthy smell, and the meat is not as tender as crickets.
But crayfish have a little more meat than crickets.
This cricket has only a tiny bit of meat, which is not even enough to fit between the teeth.
But this thing is very good for drinking.
"Then what are you waiting for? I saw a lot more over there just now, let's go grab more!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chaoyang's eyes instantly lit up.
"Wait a minute, I'll get a net bag."
When he heard that there were still crickets, Zhou Ziwen also became energetic.
They all say that crickets are delicious, but he has never eaten them before, so he can try them today.
Crab crickets have very high requirements for water quality.
Only in the countryside of this era could such a thing exist.
Crayfish are called Northeastern crayfish, but many Northeastern locals have never heard of them.
In later generations, this thing could sell for more than two hundred per catty.
In the room, when they heard that Zhou Ziwen and the others were going to catch crickets, several girls became interested.
In the end, they stopped cooking and all went out together.
Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters, Shen Zhaodi, Zhou Chaoyang, and Tang Yaoyao, a group of six people, carried tools and went to the river.
Led by Zhou Chaoyang, they quickly arrived at the place where the crickets were found.
Here, the river water is clear, and because the water is relatively shallow, you can still see some small fish swimming in it.
Of course, there are also crickets crawling on the bottom of the river.
“Is this the cricket?”
Chen Shiying asked.
Originally, she is a relatively homely person. If it were other times, she might not follow him.
The reason why I came out with them so happily this time was because I heard there were crickets.
Others may not know what a cricket is, but under Zhou Ziwen’s guidance, she knows a lot about food from all over the world.
Of course there are also crickets among them.
"Wow, this water is so clear!"
Like a curious baby, Tang Yaoyao put her hand into the river as she looked at it.
“Hiss, this water is so cold!”
As soon as I stretched it out, it shrank back.
“The water here flows down from the mountains, and some of it is melted from ice and snow, so of course it will be very cold.”
Zhou Ziwen explained with a smile.
"Huh? How are we going to catch him?"
Hearing this, Chen Qiaoyi was a little disappointed. "It's okay, just leave it to me."
Zhou Ziwen said nonchalantly.
To others, the water here is very cold, and it is even easy to catch a cold after soaking in it for a long time, but this problem does not exist here in Zhou Ziwen.
He has strong physical fitness, even if he walks barefoot in the ice and snow, he will be fine.
While talking, Zhou Ziwen had already started to take off his shoes.
These crickets are all in the river and must be caught in the water. The one Zhou Chaoyang caught just now was just lucky. He happened to swim to the edge and was caught by him.
"Brother Ziwen, why don't we stop catching the crickets? Look at the water being so cold. What if you catch a cold?"
Chen Qiaoyi took Zhou Ziwen's hand and said with concern.
"Haha, it seems that you still don't know much about your men's bodies, look."
Zhou Ziwen rubbed her head, his face full of confidence.
He decided to show his daughter-in-law a hand and let her witness the miracle.
Zhou Ziwen’s words left everyone confused and didn’t understand what they meant.
But soon they knew what was going on.
Zhou Ziwen found a slightly flatter space, then opened his stance and started to punch.
Zhou Ziwen's boxing technique is fast, fast and full of momentum.
It is very similar to Bajiquan, but different.
Looks more ferocious and more brutal.
As Zhou Ziwen opened his fist, a series of sonic boom sounds like those in a martial arts novel rang in everyone's ears.
It felt like special effects had been added, one punch and one kick, full of power.
This is the first time in a long time that Zhou Ziwen has used his fists with all his strength.
A set of movements were violent and rapid. By the time everyone came to their senses, Zhou Ziwen had finished punching.
After coming back to their senses, everyone was surprised to find that Zhou Ziwen's body was actually steaming.
A visible heat radiated from his body.
Chen Qiaoyi approached curiously and felt a wave of heat.
"Brother Ziwen, why are you so hot?"
Chen Qiaoyi took Zhou Ziwen's hand and felt it was burned.
“Of course I practiced boxing.”
"You should rest assured now. With my physique, this little snow water is of no use to me."
Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"Brother Zhou, you are too powerful, why do your fists actually make sounds?"
Zhou Chaoyang asked in shock.
“That’s strength.”
Zhou Ziwen explained a little bit.
As the saying goes, a thousand dollars cannot buy a sound.
The fact that Zhou Ziwen can make sounds with his punches and kicks is enough to prove how powerful he is.
“That’s awesome, Brother Ziwen, if you punch me, can you kill me?”
Tang Yaoyao looked at Zhou Ziwen’s hand and asked enthusiastically road.
Zhou Ziwen: "..."
With her small body, the result of one punch would probably be tragic.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's catch the crickets quickly!"
Zhou Ziwen looked at the sky.
Although the sky is very bright this time, even much brighter than usual.
But it's also a sign that it's going to rain.
"Brother Zhou, I'm here to help you too."
Watching Zhou Ziwen go into the water, Zhou Chaoyang also became interested.
He felt that he was still a man no matter what, and he should not just watch at this time.
“Come on, as long as you are not afraid of the cold.”
Zhou Ziwen smiled and nodded.
