"Parker, you're not done yet? The fire is ready." Bai Qingqing's voice rang from the house.
Parker quickly replied, "Oh, I'm done."
He scooped up some rice and walked briskly to the river to wash it. He also took the chance to retrieve the fish baskets from the river. Using the hollow bamboo, he easily poured out the prey inside the fish basket.
It was said that fishes are caught in a rising tide, and prawns are caught in a falling tide. With the rising tide this time, the lack of oxygen in the water caused the fish to float to the surface. The fish baskets at the bottom of the river basically only managed to capture the river prawns and three to four small fishes that had suffocated to death.
Parker cleansed the fish and prawns and came back all wet and dripping.
"Wah, so many prawns today!" Bai Qingqing was overjoyed. This type of river prawn was most suited for steaming.
