Chapter 31 Fish in the rice fields to harvest wheat

The seedlings in the paddy fields have grown thick enough, and the weeds in the fields have sprung up, and it is time to release the fry into the field.

For two days in a row, Liu Wen put a basket in the ditch and the reservoir to catch fish, caught some in the basket, and then quietly took some from the space, and finally gathered enough more than a dozen catties of crucian carp, carp and grass carp fry this morning, as well as more than ten catties of loaches.

Grass carp can eat the coarser weeds in the field, the delicate weeds are handed over to the carp and crucian carp, and the loaches drill holes in the field to loosen the soil, so that the roots of the seedlings can fully absorb the nutrients in the mud and grow more vigorously. All four species of fish eat a variety of pests in the rice fields, and their manure is also a natural source of fertilizer in the rice fields.

Liu Wen carried two buckets to the edge of the rice field, the rice seedlings in the rice field are growing well, each plant has sprouted two or three branches, you must know that each branch can grow a bunch of rice ears, the more branches, the higher the yield of rice. The taro around the ridge also grows very well, and the taro seedlings have increased significantly and grown a large circle, Liu Wen nodded with satisfaction.

Going down to the field, Liu Wen first poured out the crucian carp carp grass fry in the bucket, because of the space spirit liquid in advance, the fish were very lively and healthy. Liu Wen slowly tilted the bucket, and the fish followed the current to the ditch, and their vigorous tails quickly swung a few times, and then scattered in all directions to hide their tracks in the rice fields.

Liu Wen also put the loaches into the field, and then went to the water inlet and drainage outlet of the rice field to check. At the water intake, Liu Wen directly installed a large hollow bamboo tube about one meter from the water surface of the rice field yesterday evening, and the trickle basically poured down from the bamboo tube vertically to ensure that the fish could not escape from the rice field against the water.

At the outlet, Liu Wen installed a fine fence and covered the fence with a layer of fine gauze, so that the fish could not leave the rice field down the water. Liu Wen walked around the rice field again, and found that there were already fish eating the weeds in the field, so Liu Wen walked home with an empty bucket with confidence.

The sun was shining for several days, and the ears of wheat had turned completely yellow, and it was time to harvest. After breakfast, Yaya was sent to the kindergarten, and Liu Wen's family brought a sickle and prepared to cut wheat in their own wheat field with Laifu Zhaocai and Xiangxiang.

Laifu and Zhaocai, who walked in front with their heads held high, already looked like adult dogs, and now many local dogs in the village did not dare to bark with them. Liu Wen didn't look at it carefully when he first hugged it, some coincidences are both male dogs and fortune, as for the female mountain dog in the old man's house, he left it with the old neighbors for many years when he came to Liu Jiachong, and the forest farm needs this mountain dog with rich hunting experience, and Liu Wen's family already has blessings and fortune.

Xiangxiang walked with elegant steps, unhurriedly followed behind Liu Wen's family, and the villagers who came out to cut wheat today and the tourists who wanted to experience the labor of cutting wheat were not small. When Liu Wen's family greeted each other, they inevitably had to look at Xiangxiang more and praise Xiangxiang for being well-behaved and cute.

Some female tourists are so cute that they don't want to be unwanted, and they can't help but step forward to touch Xiangxiang, Xiangxiang will be extremely dexterous and very natural to avoid, and in the end these female tourists can only look at Xiangxiang's back with regret and envy.

Not long after Xiangxiang came to Liu Wen's house, there was a boss who occasionally came to Liujia Village to travel, after seeing Xiangxiang, he liked it very much, and offered 200,000 yuan to buy Xiangxiang, which was immediately resolutely rejected by Liu Wen.

When they came to their own wheat field, five people lined up, bowed their heads and bent down to cut the wheat. Liu Wen felt more relaxed and comfortable at first, worked hard to harvest, and always walked at the forefront of the family, while the old man fell last. As the sun rises, the weather gets hotter and hotter in the wheat fields. It didn't take long for Liu Wen to sweat, tired and hot, and the speed of cutting wheat naturally became slower and slower, and he gradually became the last one to fall.

Liu Wen saw that Qing'er and the old man in front of him were harvesting unhurriedly, and immediately bowed his head and bent down a little ashamedly, struggling to catch up. One acre of land is divided among five people, which is not much, and the wheat field will be completely cut in less than two hours.

"Huh, rabbit!" Qing'er let out a soft cry, and a hare, which had been hiding in a wheat field, saw that there was nothing to hide, so he had to venture out and try to escape into a cornfield next door.

Laifu and Zhaocai immediately chased after him when they saw it, and Xiangxiang also ran and turned into another direction to intercept it. After a while, Laifu and Zhaocai came out of the cornfield with empty mouths and dejected heads, but it didn't take long for Xiangxiang to come back from the other end of the cornfield with a relaxed face, and a rabbit that had died in her mouth was still in her mouth.

Laifu and Zhaocai gathered around Xiangxiang with a flattering face, probably wanting to learn some skills on how to hunt rabbits, and Laifu even flattered and stretched out his tongue to clean up the hair on Xiangxiang's body, but Xiangxiang pushed away with a small paw against his nose.

"Xiangxiang! well done!" Qing'er praised happily. "Xiangxiang is really good, in terms of fighting, you may not be able to do mountain dogs, but in terms of hunting experience, it is indeed much stronger than these two half-pulled dogs. The old man also praised it.

"If you really fight, the ten heads of fortune and fortune together are not Xiangxiang's opponents. Liu Wen refuted the old man in his heart, even if Xiangxiang awakens into a demon clan, this hunting nature will not disappear, for the rabbit in front of him, Xiangxiang is happy to see the hunting, and it is normal to take the initiative to attack.

In another wheat field not far from Liu Wen's wheat field, Cheng Yang was sitting on the wheat stack and was a little depressed, so he rushed Zhang Chi to continue cutting wheat. Originally, Cheng Yang was full of interest and wanted to have a wheat cutting competition with others, but he accidentally cut his hand because he wanted to be the first. Although it was a small wound and there was no bleeding, it was no longer possible to continue cutting wheat.

Deng Hongxia found a handful of fresh young leaves of Lobelia, first squeezed out a little juice to help Cheng Yang clean the wound, and then put some kneaded leaves on Cheng Yang's wound and comforted: "Yang Meiji! (Cheng Yang likes to be called that) Your wound is very small, and I promise that I will never leave a scar in the future after applying this herb." ”

"I don't care about that. Cheng Yang said with some interest, today I came over to experience the taste of cutting wheat, but who knew that it was really embarrassing to cut my hand after just over an hour.

"Fortunately, the wound on this Yang girl's hand is very small, otherwise how could I be happy in my heart! Why hasn't this mung bean soup been delivered yet?" Deng Hongxia stood up and looked in the direction of the road, feeling a little anxious.

Deng Hongxia's family has four acres of mountain fields, one acre of paddy fields, two acres of wheat, one acre of corn, and another acre of soybeans and some miscellaneous beans.

The eight or nine tourists who stayed at home last night heard that Deng Hongxia was coming to harvest wheat today, and they all said that they would come over to help. For the requirements of tourists, Deng Hongxia has always tried her best to meet them, and the tourists took the initiative to help cut wheat, which can also reduce their burden, and there is no reason not to agree.

Deng Hongxia felt that the tourists were kind enough to help, and she couldn't neglect them, so before leaving in the morning, she arranged for her brother-in-law and another cousin and nephew who were invited from her mother's house to cook some mung bean soup in the morning and send it over. Now that most of the morning has passed, why hasn't this mung bean soup been delivered yet?

Cheng Yang accidentally cut his hand just now, Deng Hongxia went to find some herbs, and now Cheng Yang's wound has been treated. Seeing that other tourists were still working hard to cut wheat, Deng Hongxia was embarrassed to be lazy anymore. I was about to turn around and go to cut wheat, but when I turned around, I accidentally looked at my brother and sister-in-law and my cousin-in-law carrying a bucket of mung bean soup and finally came over.

Deng Hongxia was about to beckon everyone to drink some mung bean soup and rest before talking. "There are rabbits!" a tourist shouted in surprise, there is a lot of strength in numbers, and this acre of wheat has been harvested by everyone until only about two points of area remain.

"Hurry up, everyone, don't let the rabbit run. Another tourist reacted and immediately shouted loudly. The crowd that had been lined up immediately surrounded the rest of the wheat field.

Hearing the sound of Deng Hongxia beckoning everyone to drink mung bean soup, but now everyone only has rabbits left in their eyes, where can they still think about what mung bean soup to drink? Everyone gathered around the wheat field, and they were in high spirits and worked hard to cut the wheat. One of the more clever tourists quietly put the flat pole that just carried the mung bean soup beside him.

With the rapid reduction of the area of the wheat field, the rabbit couldn't help it, looked at the gap in a crowd, and wanted to run out with a "whoosh". The quick-witted tourist in the crowd had already copied the flat pole in his hand at this moment, and when he saw the figure of the rabbit, he immediately raised his arms high and smashed down on the rabbit. With a "snap", the rabbit that was hit by it slapped its body a few times, and then reluctantly lost its breath.

"Haha! I hit, I hit. The tourist exclaimed excitedly.

"Brother, you can! This hand speed, this accuracy, ordinary people can't do it!" Zhang Chi came over and patted the tourist on the shoulder and praised him.

"This rabbit is so fat! Cheng Yang played with the rabbit up and down with a sickle with great interest and said, originally his hand was injured and he couldn't cut the wheat, and he didn't plan to come when he cut another acre of land in the afternoon. But now that I find that I can cut wheat and hunt rabbits by the way, I will definitely go.

"Big brother, sell me this rabbit for how much! At noon, I'll make a hare stew with wild mushrooms for the big guys. According to Liu Jiachong's custom, whoever hits the wild thing is his, so Deng Hongxia asked.

"No, don't! How can this rabbit be counted on my head? Everybody has helped, and of course it's all shared. Since we caught it together, of course we ate it together. The tourist quickly shouted.

"Big brother is righteous!" Deng Hongxia gave a thumbs up, and then hurriedly beckoned everyone who had become tired and thirsty after the excitement to sit down and drink mung bean soup.

At noon, Liu Wen's family also eats rabbit, braised rabbit meat, and the two hind leg meat are deliberately cut longer, one for Yaya, and the other for today's heroes. Huan Xile and Dahua's family also tasted two pieces of rabbit meat each, and as for Laifu Zhaocai, they could only gnaw on the bones and drink some soup.
