Jiang Tang couldn't stop laughing. This old man was quite funny.

She picked up the crab that was about to escape and said, "Old man, do you know where this thing is?"

"Do you think this thing is delicious too?" The old man's eyes flickered like light bulbs.

Jiang Tang was already swallowing his saliva: "Autumn is the best time to eat this thing, but it's only at its plumpest in October, so it should be meatless now!"

Before she finished her words, the old man had already cracked the crab open.

"You really said it!"

"Pity!"

The old man said it three times.

The old man just came out of the rice field, and there was still some water in the field.

Judging from the color and size of the crab, Jiang Tang analyzed that it should be a rice field crab.

There's absolutely no way it could be just one.

Jiang Tang rolled up his trouser legs, bent over and walked along the ridge of the field.

He didn't notice the old man just now. He rolled up his trouser legs like her and followed her quietly.

Jiang Tang focused on looking for crabs. After walking about twenty meters, he saw quite a few crabs in the rice fields.

She was grinning from ear to ear.

"Hehe, God has been kind to me. There are actually crabs in this remote place. If I can bring some back and raise them, they will be plump and delicious by October!"

"Spicy dry pot crab, drunken crab, crab pot..."

Jiang Tang closed her eyes and immersed herself in her gourmet fantasy.

As soon as I open my eyes.

"what……"

"what……"

Two screams rang out at the same time.

The old man rushed to complain: "You scared me to death!"

Jiang Tang fell to the ground and said, "You scared me, okay? You followed me without saying a word, and I was almost scared to death by you!"

Facing the old man's weird smile, Jiang Tang thought about what he had just said.

I quickly recalled whether I had said anything I shouldn't have.

After thinking for a long time, Jiang Tang felt that it was not the case.

The old man squatted down and squinted his eyes: "Girl, you just said that if you take this crab back home to raise it, you can raise it to be plump and beautiful?"

It's over!

The old man actually heard it.

Jiang Tang blinked guiltily: "No, I just said that your water quality is not good, my water is better!"

"Okay, how much can you eat?" asked the old man.

Jiang Tang looked at him suspiciously: "You speak as if you have the final say!"

"I'm telling you, I'm a brother to the old man who's looking after the land for this family. I took some crabs to fill my teeth, and my brother agreed to it!"

"Really?"

Jiang Tang stood up and looked around quickly.

After looking around, I didn't see even a fly except a dragonfly flapping its wings.

The old man also imitated her and took a look.

"Girl, how did you get here? Is a hundred enough?"

"It's not enough to fill my stomach, but it's enough to fill my teeth. But I came here today to send my son to meet someone, so I didn't bring anything!"

Jiang Tang was annoyed. If he had known he would see crabs today, he should have brought a bucket with him when he went out.

She didn't see the way the old man looked at her.

"It's just a wooden barrel. I found it for you, but let's make a deal. You have to give me half of the crabs you take away, or I'll make sure you won't be able to eat them next year!"

"It's a deal!"

"Then you should hide here and don't let anyone find you!"

The old man gave Jiang Tang some advice, then walked away, crouching like a thief.

A thief will always feel guilty.

Jiang Tang was afraid of being discovered, so he didn't dare to straighten his waist.

She watched the old man go up, rolled up her sleeves and started working.

It would be unfair to these crabs if she didn't throw some of this good stuff into the space and hide it as private goods.

These crabs are very flexible and their pinch is extremely painful.

Jiang Tang had no tools, so he thought of using spiritual spring water as bait.

She used her fingers to dig a small puddle in front of her, and then added two drops of spiritual spring water into it.

The crabs that were circling around her just now were now squeezing back and forth sideways.

Catch every Jiang Tang that comes.

Come get a pair, Jiang Tang grab a pair.

Jiang Tang was still distractedly looking at the end of the ridge.

Jiang Tang moved very quickly and estimated that he threw about two to three hundred crabs into the space.

Catching a glimpse of a patch of gray at the end of the ridge, she quickly filled the puddle.

Put your sleeves down.

I watched the old man walk in with two large wooden barrels.

Jiang Tang hurriedly called out, "Old man, why did you come in? Hurry up and squat down, in case someone finds you!"

"No!" the old man whispered, "I just heard my brother say that someone has come to their house, and no one will come out for a while!"

The old man walked up to him and glanced in both directions.

The girl's sleeves were wet, and there were handprints in the rice field.

The old man concluded that Jiang Tang stole the crabs, but he couldn't find out where Jiang Tang hid the crabs?

If it was hidden on the body, this girl would have been unable to bear it.

"Old man, are you sure your brother asked you to take it, and it wasn't me who took it? If anything goes wrong, we'll each take half the responsibility!"

"You are quite a loyal girl!"

The crabs were right in front of him, and Jiang Tang didn't care whether he would be discovered or not. He grabbed a crab in each hand and threw them into the wooden barrel.

Soon the two buckets were filled with crabs.

There are at least a hundred of them stacked up in two buckets.

This old man is quite thoughtful and even prepared a lid.

The two men lifted the barrel and placed it in the carriage.

Jiang Tang urged the old man nonchalantly, "Old man, you've been out for a while, go back and do your work, or else your master will find out that you're slacking off and you'll be scolded!"

"Girl, I want to eat crabs in a month!"

"No problem, I'll come find you here in a month and make sure you get the most delicious crabs in the world!"

Hearing voices at the gate, Jiang Tang told the old man to leave quickly.

The old man jogged along the way and disappeared around the corner of the wall in front of him.

Jiang Tang was grumbling in her heart. She thought this old man was a little strange.

She couldn't tell what was so strange about it.

The door opened, and a waiter looked around from outside, no one knew what he was looking at, then closed the door and went back in.

Shopkeeper Chen brought the two children in. Lord Wu's wife said that Lord Wu had gone out early in the morning and asked them to wait in the room, saying that he would be back soon.

After drinking three bowls of tea, Shopkeeper Chen saw Lord Wu coming out of the room yawning.

"Master Wu!"

Shopkeeper Chen immediately stood up with the two children.

Wu Tong's eyes were fixed on the food box on the table.

"You've been the shopkeeper for so many years, and the things you send are always the same. I'm tired of them!"

Shopkeeper Chen couldn't hold back his anger and explained with a smile: "We have fewer varieties of vegetables in this remote area, not like in the capital. I'm sorry to have wronged you!"

"But these dishes were not made by our Baiyulou, but by the mother of these two children!"

"Is that the fat girl who brought you the fish?"

Wu Tong's eyes lit up.

"It's her!"

Shopkeeper Chen opened the food box in a hurry.

"Spicy and sour Chinese cabbage, crucian carp and tofu soup, Chinese cabbage and potatoes, stir-fried rice!"

Wu Tong smiled a little coldly: "You guys are really good at fooling me!"
