Chapter 11 Peach Garden Talk

"The peach blossoms on the human face are red!" Liu Wen came to his family's peach orchard and saw many people enjoying flowers and taking pictures in the peach orchard, and some people did not delay in appreciating peach blossoms and digging wild vegetables.

The batch of peach trees planted at the beginning of the year all survived, all the peach trees bloomed with brilliant peach blossoms, and the entire peach forest turned into a sea of pink, which was extremely enchanting! In order to improve the survival rate of peach trees, Liu Wenke secretly drenched the roots of all peach trees with space water.

When Liu Wen asked the engineering team to dig tree holes, he also helped to flatten all the bushes and wild trees, and the larger branches were moved back to be burned as firewood.

Wildfires burn inexhaustibly, and spring breezes blow and regenerate. When Liu Wen came to see it again today, the ground of the peach orchard was once again covered with a light green carpet, and the grass on both sides of the ditch was particularly luxuriant.

"Oh, what are you doing here? What are the flowers, why do you want to pick them?" a tourist asked strangely when he saw Liu Wen picking flowers.

"I'm thinning the peach tree. Liu Wen replied, and then began to explain the benefits of thinning flowers, hearing that picking flowers can not only be eaten, but also have the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin.

The tourist asked with some emotion, "Can I pick some too?"

"Of course you can!" Liu Wen laughed lightly, "Then I'll leave it to you here to help me clear it first, and I'll go to the other side to have a look." ”

"Yo he, what are you doing here?" Liu Wen came to the other side of Taoyuan and saw Yang Yong and Xue Fang's family were busy. Yang Yong and his son Xiao Haohao were fishing for something in the ditch with a homemade kite, while Xue Fang was looking for wild vegetables near the ditch.

The ditch is only one meter wide, the water depth is forty or fifty centimeters, the weeds on the side of the ditch are moistened by the water and grow lush and thick, and the shallow water on the edge of the ditch is full of weeds.

"Hello Uncle Liu!" Xiao Haohao stood up and politely greeted Liu Wen.

"Xiao Haohao, tell my uncle, what are you doing?" replied Liu Wen.

"I'm fishing for small shrimp, there are a lot of small shrimp here. After Xiao Haohao finished speaking, he made a demonstration, took the small zither into the water, and quickly pulled it to the shore, and more than ten small shrimp hidden in the grass by the ditch fell into the small zither.

This kind of small shrimp is called dried shrimp, and it doesn't grow big at all, Liu Wen didn't expect that there would be dried shrimp in the ditch so soon, probably attracted by the aura, and it flowed backwards from the gap in the rocky beach next to the reservoir.

"This kind of shrimp is particularly delicious, two days ago we fished some for the old sister-in-law of the Liu family to help make, the taste is fragrant! This time we fished some more, and after going back, let the old sister-in-law of the Liu family help dry it, and take it home to eat. Xue Fang explained on the side.

"The old sister-in-law of the Liu family?" Liu Wen asked and found out that it was the old lady in Liu Quanxiang's house, Liu Wen saw that Yang Yong was fishing for small shrimp with high interest, and the corners of his mouth actually cracked a smile as innocent and happy as a child.

"How does it feel to come to Liu Jiachong, is it fun to fish for small shrimp?" Liu Wen and Yang Yong's family had also met several times and were familiar, so they asked casually and jokingly.

"It's fun, it's so fun! I don't have to work at home, I panic every day, and after coming to Liu Jiachong, I feel that all aspects are good, and there are many fun places. Yang Yong continued to fish for the small shrimp head and replied without raising it.

"These are nothing, and after a while you can catch yellow eel loaches at night, which are divided into two types: basket and clip, basket may be a little more harvesty, but it is not fun to use clips. In early summer, fishing for yellow eel, crab fishing, and stone frog fishing are all very fun, and stepping on river mussels and touching snails in the middle of summer can not only cool off but also harvest delicious game, which feels very good. In autumn and winter, you can pick wild fruits all over the mountains until you don't want to pick them anymore, and you can also catch pheasants, set hares, dig mountain mice, catch bamboo rats, and have more fun in Liujia Village all year round!" Liu Wen said with a smile.

"Really, you must take me to play when the time comes!" Yang Yong said very excitedly.

"No problem!" Liu Wen readily agreed, if you want to play these, the more people there are, the more fun and lively.

"It's a good season for fishing, why don't you go fishing?" Liu Wen subconsciously asked a little strangely. "Fishing is boring, I've fished in other reservoirs before, and the buoy doesn't move for half a day, and I don't have the temperament to wait quietly. Yang Yong explained.

"That's because you didn't pick the place well, and the bait you chose was wrong, I'll take you to fish for a while in the afternoon, and then you'll know if fishing is fun or not." Liu Wen pretended to smile mysteriously.

Liu Wen's house, Yang Yong, who had just finished lunch, came straight with his son. Liu Wen went to the utility room to find three slender bamboo rods, tied them with hooks and lines, and made a simple fishing rod. Liu Wen led the father and son straight to the manure heap in the backyard and dug out more than 20 blue-gray earthworms.

"Wow, it stinks!" Yang Yong covered his nose with disgust as he squatted down to inspect the earthworm.

"Now the temperature is not high, the appetite of the fish has been affected, only this fishy smell, the easiest to provoke the appetite of the fish, if you don't believe it, we will try it now to know if the effect is good." Liu Wen said with a confident smile.

There are four ditches in the whole Liujiachong, one runs through the whole village, and there is a well water that leads directly to the Ganlu Spring to irrigate the rice fields, and the other two are convenient for draining the stagnant water after the rain and the domestic water of the villagers' homes, and these two ditches go directly to the Changgan Reservoir.

"This ditch discharges water from the village's people, which is rich in organic matter, which is the food of many fish, so it is easiest to catch fish near this opening. Coming to the intersection of a ditch and the Changgang Reservoir, Liu Wen and the three of them hung up the bait, threw down the fishing rod and began to catch the fish.

There were indeed a lot of fish in Liu Wenxuan's place, and only after the hook was put down for a while, the buoy made of corn stalks moved. Liu Wen took the lead in lifting the rod, and a white bar jumped out of the water in the air, and Liu Wen untied the fish and put it into the bucket next to him. At this time, the buoy on Xiao Haohao's side also moved, but Xiao Haohao lifted the rod too quickly, and the fish was unhooked.

At this time, Yang Yong also caught a crucian carp of three or four taels, and Yang Yong patiently pointed at Xiao Haohao while hanging the bait excitedly. Xiao Haohao saw the right time, and as soon as he lifted the rod and fished, he was hooked, and Xiao Haohao, who was so excited, also successfully caught a fresh seed.

Xianzi is a native fish in Liujiachong, which looks a bit like a white stripe, but is a little larger than a white stripe, and the largest is estimated to weigh almost half a catty. Next, everyone took turns to catch the fish, Xiao Haohao had to shout and scream every time he caught one, Yang Yong was busy unraveling the fish for himself and Xiao Haohao, and was busy hanging the bait, so busy that he was elated and happy.

"Oh, Daddy! I can't pull it. Suddenly, Xiao Haohao shouted when he lifted the rod again, seeing that the fishing rod in Xiao Haohao's hand was about to be taken off, Liu Wen quickly took it.

"Well, it's very heavy! It's really a big fish!" The quality of the bamboo rod and fishing line was very average, and Liu Wen didn't dare to use it vigorously at all. When the big fish dragged the fishing line, Liu Wen slowly loosened the line little by little, and when the fish stopped, it slowly pulled back little by little, for fear that if he accidentally used too much force, the fishing line would break. The two sides battled wits across the water for a while, and finally the big fish got tired and was dragged to the shallow water on the shore.

A large light gray catfish, flapping its tail weakly, Liu Wen quickly jumped off the ditch, and hooked his fingers to lift the catfish up with his fingers. A little weight, the catfish weighs eight or nine pounds, to say the least.

"The catfish in this reservoir are all grown up eating small fish and shrimp, and the taste is very delicious, your whole family will come to my house to eat a whole fish feast tonight!" Liu Wen saw that the harvest was enough, and proposed to go back. After the three of them collected the rod, Liu Wen carried a small bucket and walked home with the excited father and son.

In the evening, Liu Wen's mother made three dishes, namely boiled tofu with catfish, spicy fresh seeds, and sour and hot crucian carp. The catfish is tender and sweet, the tofu is delicious and delicious, the fresh fish meat is delicate and delicious, and it is fragrant and spicy when eaten, and the spicier it is, the more fragrant it is.

Xue Fang ate a few bites of fresh seeds and was so spicy that she was about to take a sip of water to get rid of the spicy ones, and then after a while, she thought about eating them again. The freshness of the crucian carp itself is perfectly blended with the sour and spicy, and the taste is particularly good, and Xiao Haohao loves to eat it. There are many crucian carp bones, Liu Wen's mother carefully picked out the fish bones and then put them into Xiao Haohao's bowl, and got a sweet thank you grandma, Liu Wen's mother smiled happily.

Xue Fang, who volunteered, tried to make a carp boiled knot, and the three men drank the Moutai that Liu Wen brought back from the magic capital. "The taste of this combination is really amazing, I can eat it every day, I guess I won't get tired of eating it for the rest of my life. Yang Yong praised after tasting a piece of the knot, he didn't expect Xue Fang's craftsmanship to be good, and the taste was not much worse than that of Liu Wen's mother.

"It's not easy to eat often, but now the village can rent land to plant, and find the village chief to rent some land and plant all the sweet potatoes, and wait until next year to worry about not eating together?" Liu Wen reminded on the side.

"Oh yes, why didn't I think of that? Tomorrow we will go to the village chief to rent land. Yang Yongmei picked up a piece of catfish meat, put it in his mouth and ate it, and then said: "Brother Wenzi, I had a lot of fun today, if there is anything interesting in the future, don't forget to call me!"

"Don't worry! Don't worry! After a while, you can catch the yellow eel loach, I'll go and ask you to go with you." Liu Wen said with a smile.

"And me, I'm going too. Xiao Haohao also interjected on the side. "Hehe! All go, all go! Liu Wen agreed, but added the next sentence in his heart, "If your family agrees." ”

Everyone ate happily at this whole fish banquet tonight, and Xiao Haohao's little belly was bulging, just like a puffing frog.
