Chapter 147 -147: Being a River Snail

On the ground were two wooden basins, both brought over by the young wife. Choosing the larger one, Gu Ya poured everything from the basket into it.

Two fish and the river snails came out quite easily, but a few crabs were still left in the basket.

Standing to the side, Su Yunjin watched Gu Ya’s actions and thought about her earlier plan to catch fish from the basket, secretly conceding that Gu Ya’s method was better.

Gu Ya first emptied the fish and river snails from the basket, which made it easier to catch the remaining crabs inside.

If she had attempted it her original way, not only would it have been difficult to catch the fish and crabs, but she also risked getting her hand pinched by the crabs.

Gu Ya carefully grabbed the remaining crabs from the basket, and looking up to see the young wife watching him, he said, “Yunjin, hand me the wooden basin next to you.”

“Alright!” Su Yunjin picked up the wooden basin from the ground and passed it to Gu Ya, who placed the crabs he was holding into the basin the young wife had brought over, then continued to catch the rest.

With only a few crabs left, Gu Ya quickly caught all of them, dealing with the rest from the basket, and then continued picking out the crabs he’d dumped out into the wooden basin Su Yunjin had handed him.

Su Yunjin watched from the side; Gu Ya was very skilled at catching crabs, always grabbing them by the claws, which prevented him from getting pinched.

Su Xiaobao ran over to help, and all the crabs were sorted out and placed in a separate basin.

The fish and river snails were still mixed, which was an easy fix; they just needed to pick out the two fish.

Su Xiaobao caught the smaller fish, and Gu Ya the larger one; both fish were put into the water bucket to be kept.

After sorting everything caught that day, Su Yunjin went to the kitchen to help her mother and older sister cook.

Mrs. Shen was stir-frying, Su Ningxiu was tending to the fire, and when Su Yunjin arrived in the kitchen, her mother and older sister had already steamed the rice and were preparing grilled fish. Mrs. Shen looked up at Su Yunjin with a smile and said, “Yunjin, you’re just in time, go clean the crabs and bring them in. I’m going to make fried crabs for you and your siblings.”

“Mother, I’ll do it,” Su Xiaobao ran in, eager to wash the crabs.

Mrs. Shen smiled, “Alright, then you go wash.”

Today, Su Yunjin planned to make garlic river snails for everyone with the ones they’d picked up from the river.

With Su Xiaobao off to wash the crabs, Su Yunjin went out to wash the river snails.

Bringing the river snails to the well, Su Yunjin washed them repeatedly to ensure cleanliness until she was certain they were clean. Only then did she drain the water from the basin, planning to set the river snails aside in the basin for later use.

Hearing Su Yunjin was going to cook the river snails, Mrs. Shen instinctively objected, “No, Yunjin, those things have too strong of a fishy smell, how can we eat them?”

“Mother, I promise it’ll be delicious, let me cook them!”

Su Yunjin tried to persuade her mother.

Mrs. Shen was still hesitant, when Gu Ya walked in, “Mother, if Yunjin wants to cook, let her give it a try!”

“This—?” With Gu Ya speaking up, Mrs. Shen, despite her disapproval of Su Yunjin cooking the river snails, said no more!

Su Yunjin knew her mother had agreed, and she couldn’t help but glance at Gu Ya. If it wasn’t for Gu Ya’s intervention, her mother might have continued to oppose.

With Mrs. Shen’s consent for Su Yunjin to cook the river snails, and after frying the crabs, Mrs. Shen yielded the stove to Su Yunjin, letting her prepare the river snails.

Intending to make garlic river snails for everyone, Su Yunjin approached the stove and began to busy herself.
