Looking at the wet fish basket, Nanzhi was inspired. She had seen the uncles in the village fishing for lobsters and crabs before. They would usually take two long strips of bamboo and cross them over a piece of cotton cloth. Then, they would tie a string to the bamboo strips and sew a piece of meat onto the center of the cotton with needle and thread. After putting this in the water and waiting for two hours, they would be able to catch many crabs and lobsters.

With a plan in mind, Nanzhi went to rummage around and prepare the necessary items.

Realizing it was noon already, she decided to cook. After glancing at her blissfully content dog, Gougou, Nanzhi entered the kitchen.

The only food left in the house was chestnuts and potatoes. Given the weather that day, Nanzhi decided to make coarse grain pancakes and river clam soup.

Knowing that clam meat can be tough, Nanzhi carefully pounded it with the back of a knife before coating it with flour for later use.
