After Jiang Lijun's father and daughter left, Zhou Heng discussed with his parents about the follow-up chicken raising, and quickly prepared to contract the lake.

I got a deposit of more than 80,000 yuan and had plenty of money, and I could do all these things together. Strike while the iron is hot.

However, the lake was formed suddenly, and the village had not recorded it before, so the various formalities were a little more troublesome.

But in general, he can be regarded as the only young man in the village, no one else will contract, no one will compete with him, it doesn't matter if he is slow, there is no doubt about contracting it.

In a few days, I will replenish the chicken seedlings and buy fish fry, and I will probably be busy.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was nothing to do in the afternoon, Zhou Heng planned to get some fish to eat again, but he hadn't gotten it for many days.

The parents' smiles are noticeably more, and they feel that life is much easier - not because the family's local chickens are sold at a high price.

The psychological expectation of selling more than a hundred local chickens is now completely more than that, which is really unexpected.

Therefore, when Zhou Heng said that he wanted to contract Xinhu, they had no opinion. After all, they did see the power of their son.

Now, thanks to God's gift, there is an additional living spring in the village, and the amount of water is large, winding around the entire village, and it is much more convenient for each family to farm and draw water.

And they also saw the newly formed small lake, the water is very clear, very clean, and it should be possible to raise fish - the most important thing is that this is the son's choice.

If they were themselves, they didn't have much confidence in fish farming, and they didn't have the skills and energy, then they would definitely not move this mind.

There are people in the village who contract fish farming, which is more or less a village-run project, and the village chief can be regarded as a credit, so he also helps with the formalities very quickly.

There is nothing difficult or anything else in this, although the village chief is not a good person, but Zhou Heng contracts and pays money, the village has income, and he has political achievements, why not?

But when it comes to prices and the like, Zhou Faqiang goes by himself. The old concept of the people in the village, the elders go to do things, and people will pay more attention to it.

Like Zhou Heng is not married, people are easy to say that they have no hair on their lips and are not good at work.

Anyway, there are elders in everything, and Zhou Heng is also happy to be idle.

In the next time, the village chief has to arrange people to measure, fill in the data, etc., these materials are completed, and they still need to be reviewed and approved by the town, etc., in short, it will take time.

And this time is Zhou Heng's rare free time, so he plans to get some fish to eat, and the kitten will also eat fish soup.

Idle is idle anyway.

The main reason is that they are too far away from the town, and if they buy some fish and meat in the town, they are afraid that they will be stinky before they come back. Winter is fine.

It's a pity that there is no follower, last time Wang Rui came over on vacation, he always followed him and talked croakingly, although it was a little long-winded, but it was not so boring.

This time, only the big yellow dog followed him.

suddenly remembered that even when she went into the mountains to play, she liked to hold a kitten, she was really a cat lover.

Unfortunately, she is gone, and the kitten can only stay at home and meow.

Get some fish back today, but also get some rations for the kitten, no fish and shrimp, how can the kitten eat fragrant?

I went out with the tools of last time, a small bucket, and a small fish basket, and set off.

The big yellow dog happily followed.

This time, I'm going to fish a little farther upstream than last time, and last time, there were a lot of aquatic weeds, but the fish were too small. Change places and see if the gains are big.

In the afternoon, the sun was a little big, and Zhou Heng walked into the woods, and it would be relatively cool with shade.

The big yellow dog was scurrying around in the woods, and after a while, I heard its "whooping" sound.

Zhou Heng followed the cry and walked over to take a look, ho, there was a clump of copper money mushrooms growing on the ground. This guy is so clever!

This is a kind of mushroom that they often see here, with a round top, not big, and it looks like a copper coin, hence the name.

It tastes good, you can eat it stir-fried or stewed in chicken soup, or you can eat it in the sun, and it tastes very fragrant. When vegetables are not harvested, people often like to eat this.

Zhou Heng pulled this bush and put it in the fish basket. When you get the fish in a while, put them all in the bucket.

Alas, I wish I had known to bring a backpack out.

There were too few copper coin mushrooms in the previous bush, not enough for a bowl, so if you want to eat it, you have to look for it again and get a bowl. So, Zhou Heng specially looked for it in the woods.

The big yellow dog has done something, has a sense of accomplishment, and is more keen to help people find the east and west.

Zhou Heng plucked among the dead grass by himself, and found a few bushes of copper coin mushrooms, and also found some other mushrooms, a few of which were slightly larger, called pot lid mushrooms, which were actually like the shape of a rice cooker upside down.

The mess adds up, and you can make a big bowl.

The big yellow dog barked loudly again in front of him, his voice was high and urgent, could it be that he had found something good?

Zhou Heng followed and looked, good guy! Such a big flat-topped mushroom, like the bottom of an enamel pot, and a few yellow leaves fell on it.

It's really big, Zhou Heng stretched out his hand and compared it, it was bigger than his two palms, which was really rare.

Zhou Heng laughed, rubbed the head of the big yellow dog, and rewarded it. No wonder this guy's scream is so excited, it turns out that it can already distinguish a lot of things.

Encourage it in this way, it will be more diligent and more inclined to find things.

Zhou Heng picked the giant mushroom, but when he looked at the reverse side of the mushroom umbrella, he suddenly hesitated. The reverse side of the umbrella is black, and the color looks a little uncomfortable.

It looks like it's poisonous.

Other mushrooms will have some notches that are bitten by insects and eaten by birds, but this mushroom is so big, the surface is as white as enamel, so beautiful, but there is no trace of being bitten by insects.

Sure enough, uncommon things are weird.

Zhou Heng threw away this many beautiful mushrooms, rubbed the head of the big yellow dog, and said, "You can't ask for this, it's poisonous, you can't eat it." ”

The big yellow dog seemed to understand, and his expression was not as excited as before, his head drooped, and he whispered a few "whines".

Zhou Heng comforted it: "It's okay, we have so many, it's enough to fry a bowl." Let's go, get the fish to go, it's important to get down to business. ”

The big yellow dog was about to run into the depths of the woods, Zhou Heng called it back and said, "Let's go, let's not get mushrooms today, we're going to get fish, and if we delay for a while, we won't be able to get fish." ”

The big yellow dog still refused to leave, but when he saw that Zhou Heng was already walking towards the outside of the grove, he had to follow.

Out of the grove, I walked a little further to the back of the mountain, and when I reached the upper reaches of this canal, I chose a better place and prepared to go into the water.

This side is really fertile, and when the first net went down, there were two fat crucian carp the size of a palm, some small fish, a few lobsters, and a lot of snails.

This kind of snail with the size of a child's fist can be knocked out of the meat and fried with chili peppers, and it tastes good.

Anyway, all the mess was put into the bucket, and I went back and divided it later.

Originally, it was best to pack small fish separately from crayfish, otherwise, I was afraid that it would be sandwiched, but there was no way, the basket was filled with mushrooms, and the fish and shrimp could only be mixed.

Fill the bucket with more water and things may be better.

The second net went down, Zhou Heng couldn't help laughing, he got a side fish!

Luck was good today.

He had already thought about it, and went back to get a sauerkraut fish to eat.

Zhou Heng took a shot to change places, and made it for more than an hour, and the harvest was not small, and if it was a big fish, he got a side fish and a white-scaled fish, both of which weighed more than two catties.

There are a lot of small fish, a lot of crucian carp with a big palm, and a few large mussel shells.

Returning home with a full load today, Zhou Heng rushed home with the big yellow dog.

There are a lot of fish, and the water in it is also very heavy.

Fortunately, it has been so long since he came back, and his strength has increased a lot, and he can still move. If you just come back, you will have to rest for a while.

When I came back to the village, I passed by Mr. Liu's house, and it was the one who sang the erhu and sang a shadow puppet show to Jiang Xiaoxuan in the morning, and Zhou Heng greeted people warmly: "Mr. Liu, are you still going to get wild vegetables?"

Although he has long ceased to teach, basically the whole village calls him that, and the fourth and fifth grades of Zhou Heng Primary School are also the languages he teaches.

Then he fished it out in a bucket, fished out a white-scaled fish, and said, "This one is for you to fry and eat." ”

This fish is in its early twenties, and it is a little fat.

Teacher Liu was carrying a vegetable basket with some wild vegetables in it—the tender tips of the thorny rattans.

This kind of wild vegetable, Zhou Heng doesn't know what the scientific name is.

Mr. Liu is seventy years old, he is thin, but he is in good spirits, and he may have some hobbies, so he should look chic in his old age.

No, he didn't have much to do in the afternoon, and went to the nearby mountain to pick some wild vegetables to eat.

Seeing the fish handed over by Zhou Heng, Teacher Liu hurriedly stretched out his hand and refused: "This doesn't work, this can't work, it's useless, how can I take your fish for nothing." ”

Look, it's still a bit sour to speak, but it's a pity that he was only a private teacher before, and he didn't even have a pension.

Zhou Heng said: "It's okay, I have made a lot of this, give you a taste." You're going out this afternoon, aren't you afraid of heat stroke?"

At such an age, his son and daughter are not at home, and it is very troublesome if something happens.

As he spoke, he put the fish directly into Mr. Liu's vegetable basket.

"Then why don't you give me the money, okay? I can't take your stuff for nothing. Teacher Liu said quite stubbornly.

He felt that he was in good spirits, and when he went out in the afternoon, he was not basking in the sun, so he was fine.

In fact, people who are used to regular activities have better physique. Staying at home all day long, the elderly have a faster stroke, this is the health experience he summed up.

In addition, he believes that certain wild vegetables are good for people's health and better than taking medicine, so he often goes to get some wild vegetables.

In this part of the countryside, there are not many people who can have this kind of natural health concept.

Most of the elderly people today have been poisoned by various health TV stations, and there are many people who spend money in vain.

Zhou Heng gave him the fish, turned around and left, without mentioning any money. Such a fish is not worth much in itself.

This bucket of fish was brought home, Li Yunlian saw it, and she was also very surprised, and said with a smile: "I got a lot of it today." ”

Then I went to reach out and separate the fish, shrimp, snails, shells, and so on.

Zhou Heng also followed the helper, took out the side fish he got first, and said, "Let's eat this pickled cabbage fish, I'll get it." ”

Li Yunlian asked, "What sauerkraut fish?"

Sauerkraut fish is a Sichuan dish, but it is not so famous in Zhou Heng and them.

There are good hotels in the town or city, but those of them who are old will not go to the hotel to eat this if they have nothing to do. Because for them, it's called spending money in vain.

Zhou Heng said: "It's a dish I learned outside, I'll make it for you to eat in a while." ”
