Chapter 473: Fish and Rice

It's five o'clock in the morning, and for autumn, it's just dawning. However, the laborers of the backers are ready to go.

There were fifteen wagons, full of people, most of whom were old men, whose sickles were stuck in the wooden cracks of the boards, and the heads of the knives were downward, and the blades had long been sharpened to shave their beards, so as not to hurt anyone.

followed by the baby carrying a small basket, all of them could not hide the excitement on their faces; In addition, there is a special car with women sitting in the car, who is specially responsible for delivering water and cooking, and belongs to the logistics support personnel.

Clumsy and Dudu lay on the board of the carriage, belly upside down, kicking on all fours, tearing up the wild boys around them; The hairy old man also sat in another carriage like a dog, and from time to time he stuffed a wild fruit into his mouth.

The fat man rode the big date, and Qiqi rode the small date, standing at the front of the convoy. Captain Li shouted: "Everyone is here, let's go-"

The large army marched towards Nanwazi amid the cheers of the babies. At the same time, Nanwazi's side was also busy, the two cauldrons were propped up again, and the horse shelves were all set up. And the golden rice fields, like soldiers waiting for review, stand neatly on the field.

"It's coming—" The monkey's sharp eyes were the first to see the large army approaching in the morning light.

The fat man took the lead and ran to the front: "Report to Uncle Mancang, the harvesting team of the mountain is coming to report, please instruct——"

He Mancang nodded with a smile: "Fatty, you can do it, it's a bit of a battlefield." ”

"Hehe, the rice fields are our battlefield, aren't you always the commander." The fat man jumped off his horse and said with a hippie smile.

He Mancang put away his smile instead, and the expression on his face became more and more solemn: "Okay, I, the commander-in-chief, will give the order, everyone is in place, enter the position, and start work-"

Hula, more than 100 strong forces rushed into the rice field. It's all old crops, and although I haven't cut rice before, it's not much different from cutting wheat. Everyone scattered, their legs crossed to the ground, their waists forward, and they waved their sickles in one hand and gathered the cut rice in the other.

Suddenly, in the entire rice field, there was only a neat chirping sound, and everyone's sickle could sway a string of happy notes.

"Be careful, don't cut those toads—" The fat man's loud voice echoed on the ridges, these rice field guards have made great contributions, and they are counting on others to help in the coming year.

The little babies have nothing to do now, they just wanted to catch some toads and add dishes at noon, and when they heard the fat man shouting like this, they immediately retracted their hands.

"It's okay if the stubble is high, anyway, the straw will be returned to the field in the end." He Mancang also commanded loudly that after the rice is beaten, these straws must be raised back into the rice fields, and then turned into the soil, and after they rot, they can be used as fertilizer in the next year. Anyway, there is firewood in the backing mountain, and there is no need to burn this.

Everyone has also found that there are really a lot of toads in the rice field, and with a few swings of the sickle, you can basically see that there are toads jumping up, and there are even toads inside, crawling on people's feet in a big way.

They also knew the merits of these toads, so they didn't care about them; For those guys who jump to the point of disgusting people, the most they can do is to raise their feet and shake them vigorously, poof, and throw these guys into the canal next to them.

There was a special person who was responsible for baling, and then transporting the bundles of rice thicker than the fat man's waist to the temporary pressed yard, where there was a special rice threshing machine, carried by a generator, ready to roar at any time.

The fat man is not good at making a sickle, so he also specially transports rice bales, pinching one in one hand, which is light and fluttering, and is lighter than the monk of Shaolin Temple carrying a bucket.

Clumsy and Dudu are not ambiguous, they are also holding bundles of rice, twisting their big butts and following the work; In contrast, Maomao can only carry small baskets, mix in the pile of small babies, and pick up the fallen ears of rice on the ground.

The little babies are all holding their trouser legs, wearing cloth shoes with plastic soles under their feet, and they are not afraid of rice stubble, but the uppers are not scraped, and the cloth surface is poked out one by one, but no one cares.

"Babies, do a good job, stew fish for you at noon!" The owner of the car came to a ditch with a fishing net, ready to try a few nets. At the beginning of spring, there is no shortage of grass roots. After half a year of growth, I don't know how big it can grow. Anyway, when the seedlings were sown, the ones that had just wintered were the first-year-old fish fry, and they were not yet over the pound.

After the rice fields are released, these grass carp are concentrated in the ditch, and it should be easy to catch.

The little babies were curious, and immediately gathered to see the excitement. Even the fat man put down the work at hand for the time being, and came over, he was most willing to watch the car boss cast his net, which was definitely an art. I saw that the car boss was in good spirits, the silver light flashed in his hand, and the fishing net was shot.

"Okay—" The fat man saw that the nets were all unfolded in the air, and a standard circle was cast, as if it were drawn with a compass, of course, first to find a compass of this large diameter.

But just halfway through the shout, he took back the second half as if someone had choked his neck. I saw that the fishing net of the car owner did not fall into the water, but was set up on both sides of the ditch. It turned out that the width of the ditch was limited, and the car owner was still used to casting a large net, so he missed.

Oh - the little babies don't estimate the face of the car boss, and they coax together. The car boss took back the fishing net in a daze: "I'm too happy, I forgot about this stubble-"

"Look at me!" Seeing that the old fisherman encountered a new problem, the fat man was very energetic now, grabbed the big flower basket in the hands of the second fat man, stretched it out into the water, fished it twice, and then suddenly lifted the flower basket out of the water.

I saw a white flower grass root appear at the bottom of the basket, one and a half feet long, at least two catties or more. The fat man laughed: "Uncle boss, what kind of fishing nets do you use!" ”

Just as he was proud, the grass root slammed into the basket, and suddenly jumped out and fell into the water again.

The fat man was also anxious, and flew up in a hurry, only to see that the grass root turned into a white line, flew more than ten meters away, and fell to the ground with a snap.

"What's that?" Clumsy was running with a bundle of rice, when he heard a flutter around him, and turned his head to see that it was a big fish jumping around. Now it was happy, threw the rice bundle in his hand, pressed the big grass root is a bite, tore off a piece of meat, and chewed it.

The fat man scratched the back of his head, saw that there were only two big loaches meandering at the bottom of the basket, and said generously: "Hehe, stupid and hard work, this fish will be a reward." ”

This time, the little babies were all energetic, stretched the big basket in their hands into the water, and fished for a while, but except for the loach or toad, the big fish couldn't be caught at all. They don't have a fat man's search function, and certainly can't catch big fish.

"Alright, get out of here, and do your own work." The car boss shouted, dispersed the little baby, and then began to cast the net again, but this time it was a big oval, and it fell into the water with a thud.

After the net was closed, there were four or five grass roots inside, all of which were more than one and a half feet long, and they looked like they were more than two catties.

"Yes, fish farming in the rice fields is a good harvest for both." The car boss turned back to his face, and his face was smiling.

"The density of grass roots in it is really not small, but we are wintering ponds, and we can't beat them-" The fat man has already observed the underwater situation clearly, and his heart is also happy.

Soon a woman came up with a large wooden basin and picked up the fish into it, and there were more than a hundred people, and they had to get twenty or thirty fish, which was enough for them to clean up for a while.

The car boss hit two nets, and then switched to another pool, and suddenly saw the Maomao brothers lying on the water's edge, stretching out their arms to fish in the water. I guess I saw the little babies fishing just now, and I thought it was fun.

Suddenly, I heard Mao Mao scream, and the monkey's paw was pulled out of the water, and there was a big fish on the tip of the claw, but as soon as it showed its head on the water, it spread its mouth, fluttered, and fell back into the water. It must have been Maomao's whirring paws for food.

This moment can scare Mao Mao a lot, swoop to jump on the shoulder of the car boss, squeaky in his mouth.

"You're so good, you can fish with your claws." The car boss laughed loudly, and cast a net to catch the fish that had escaped just now.

The rice field is in full swing, and the threshing machine on the other side of the yard has also begun to roar, more than 100 acres of rice, enough to make a good job for a few days, so this side is cut, and that side is beaten, so as not to take too long and the rice grains will be hulled.

It was lively and lively, and he worked until noon, and Li Liuye immediately began to ring the bell on the spot: "Stop work and start eating——"

Everyone straightened up, and then they smelled the aroma of fish stew in the air. So they all stretched their waists and legs and walked back along the ridges.

Wash your hands, wipe your face, sit down to eat. The lunch is really hearty enough, two dishes and one soup. The grassroots fish has been grunting for nearly two hours, and even the spines are almost crispy, and the inside of the fish is even more delicious.

There is also a dish of fried cucumber seeds with eggs, after the old cucumber is peeled, the cucumber seeds inside are cut out, cut into long strips and fried in the pot, it tastes sour, the natural sourness, better than any brewed vinegar.

The daughter-in-law of Erzhu, who followed the cooking, served food to everyone, and shouted in her mouth: "I know that you old men are jealous, so I deliberately made some sour ......."

The soup is egg drop soup with a little green leaves floating on it, which looks fresh and tastes even fresher.

Everyone is hungry, and with so many people eating together, it's like grabbing food and vegetables, and it tastes very sweet. The little babies are even happier, and the more lively they are, the happier they are.

The fat man first got some food for Ben Ben and Dudu, and Mao Mao used a rice bowl, and Ben Ben and Dudu had a large amount of rice, so they had to use a small pot. Then, he picked up the rice bowl, sandwiched a fish head, and instigated it with taste. Not to mention, even fish bones can be chewed, saving calcium.

In the end, even the food and vegetables were all in the bottom of the day, so I stopped. The fat man brought a few baskets of pears with him, and everyone smoked cigarettes, and those who ate pears ate pears, chatting while resting.

Suddenly, I saw the second fat man screaming twice, and then jumping up and down, jumping up in place as if he was having a convulsion, and shouting vigorously in his mouth: "The water bugs stick to the surface of the feet——"

The fat man hurriedly ran over and held him down, and then saw a black and slimy insect crawling on his feet, more than an inch long, firmly attached to it, and it was really scary to look at.

Pulling it with his hand, the thing didn't move at all, but the second fat man bared his teeth and shouted: "Fat uncle, light, it hurts-"

The fat man couldn't help scratching his head: "What is this, just catch up with the bark-"
