After all, he was injured and weak, and if he didn't pay attention, Qinghan fell into the river with one foot.
Fortunately, Qinghan stabilized his body in time and did not plant himself in the water.
However, this movement was not small, and Qingya Qingyuan, who was beating her clothes over there, heard it, and hurriedly threw the mallet over.
"Sister, are you okay?"
"Don't come here, I'm fine, wait a minute, I've found something good."
Qinghan's eyes stared at the stone that she had stepped on just now, and she saw that in the clear river water, there was a fat guy with brown patterns on his body.
Qinghan recognized it at a glance, it was a toad, and he was overjoyed at that time, and he reached out and grabbed this guy in his hand.
"Second sister, little sister, look, I caught a toad, this guy is quite big, I'm afraid there will be two or two sinking."
There is a layer of mucus on the skin of the toad, and there is a cool and slippery feeling in the hand, which many girls are afraid of.
But Qinghan didn't care at all, in her eyes, this toad was the best delicacy, the best river freshness.
The toad is the name of the locals, and the scientific name should be forest frog, of course, there is a more resounding name, the snow clam.
There is a very precious medicinal herb, snow clam oil, which is pulled out of the belly of the snow clam.
In spring, the toad does not have snow clam oil in its belly, but it is a delicious dish.
Snow clams are amphibians that spend the winter in rivers and rivers, and when spring is warmer, they will take advantage of the rain to come ashore and lay eggs in some lakes and ponds.
After laying eggs, they go up the mountains to the forest and feed on various insects.
Wait until the leaves fall in autumn, and then jump into the river to survive the winter when it rains.
Snow clams spend the winter hiding in the river, and there is not a single dirty thing in their stomachs.
Grab it back and blanch it with hot water and stew it, and you only need a little seasoning to taste the unique umami flavor.
For people in the Northeast, the toad of Kaijiang and the dumplings of big-leaf celery are indispensable and delicious every spring.
Of course, in the previous life, due to people's unrestrained overuse, the number of wild toads became less and less.
Most of them are farmed, and they are not very big, and you can't see a toad as big as it is in front of you.
Qinghan belonged to a mysterious organization in his previous life, often doing various dangerous and mysterious tasks, has a lot of experience in surviving in the wild, knows the products of various places, and is naturally very familiar with the habits of snow clams.
Not to mention that she still retains the memories of the original owner, knowing that the locals also like to eat toads, so she will never be mistaken.
The toad is very sensitive to temperature, and now the temperature is low, and it is not yet time to go up the mountain, so they hide under the rocks in the river and cannot come out.
Locals usually catch toads with torches on rainy nights in mid-to-late March, waiting for them to jump out of the river and come ashore.
Toads have a trait that they don't move when they see bright light, and they are easy to catch.
As for Qinghan like this, there are really few people who catch toads in the river by mistake, after all, no one will go down the river at this time, the river is too cold, who is stupid "I didn't expect there to be toads in this river, that's great.
Wait a minute, I'll rummage through it again to see if there's anything left in the river, catch a few more, and we'll burn them later." ” Catching a fat toad, Qinghan was in a good mood.
I didn't care if my shoes were wet, let alone whether the river was cold or not, so I just rolled up my trousers and went directly into the water to turn over the stones.
"Oh, there are two under this stone, second sister, go to the river and help me pick up some willow bark, I have to find something to tie up the toad."
Qingya casually turned over a stone, and saw that there were two toads hidden under it, so she immediately reached out and grabbed it, and happily called her two sisters for help.
Qingya and Qingyuan were originally going to come over to help their sister, but they didn't want the eldest sister to catch the toad by mistake.
The two girls had eaten toads before, and they knew that it was a rare delicacy, so they were also happy.
Hurriedly did what Qinghan said, went to the river and picked up a few willow barks, handed them to Qinghan and tied the toad.
"Don't go into the water, the water is very cold, you two can't stand it.
It's all right, I'll dig over a few more rocks and see, and if I don't have any, I'll go ashore. ” Qinghan tied the toad with willow bark, and when he saw that his two younger sisters were about to go into the water, he hurriedly stopped them.
Qinghan had experienced all kinds of harsh environments in her previous life, and her tolerance was relatively strong, although the river water was cold, she could still stand it.
Qingya Qingyuan is different, she is afraid that her two younger sisters will catch a cold.
Qinghan said as she walked forward, flipping over the stones she could turn.
Almost every stone will have toads under it, and sometimes there will be two or three under a stone.
At this time, Qinghan couldn't help but sigh, it's still a good world, the products are too rich, and you can catch a lot of toads casually.
It's an addictive thing for people who catch toads.
Qinghan also had momentum at this time, constantly turning the stones, and quickly grabbed every time he saw one.
Of course, she only catches the big one, and the toad that is too small will not be caught.
A willow bark can tie five or six toads, and Qinghan grabbed more and more, so she kept calling her two younger sisters to help her pick up a few more willow barks.

Originally, Qinghan only planned to catch a few and go back to burn them and eat them, toad meat is not only delicious, but also a tonic.
Their sisters can't even eat enough in the Liu family, let alone eat meat, and if they have toads to eat, they can supplement their strength to some extent.
But the more the toad was caught, Qinghan had another idea.
Perhaps, she can find a way to take the toad to the town restaurant to try it, since everyone likes to eat toads so much, and they only eat them for a few days in spring and autumn a year, maybe this toad can be sold.
If that's the case, wouldn't you be able to make a little money, no matter how much money you have, it's always a way.
With this thought in her heart, Qinghan kept turning over stones in the water, and she didn't dare to go to the deep water, so she rummaged in the shallow water.
In these days, no one knows how to stop toads to catch toads, and they can't catch much by catching them with their bare hands.
The ecological group of toads has not been destroyed, and the number is very large, and in less than half an hour, Qinghan actually caught seventy or eighty of them.
"Big sister, come on, you've been in the water for too long, watch out for your body.
It's not too early, we have to go home and cook, otherwise Erniang will have to scold again later. ” Over there, Qingya and Qingyuan had already washed their clothes, and watched Qinghan go farther and farther, and hurriedly beckoned Qinghan to come ashore.
Qinghan caught this toad for a while, and he also enjoyed it, and he didn't know whether the toad was good or not, and if he couldn't sell it if he caught so much, wouldn't it be a waste of effort "Qingya, did you bring flint, you two go find a place to get some dry firewood or something, let's burn a few to eat first
