219 varieties of rice
Planting rice is a rare thing in Black Bear Ridge, and everyone who is idle and has nothing to do stands on the ridge to watch the excitement.
Xu Lang still hired people from Black Bear Ridge Village to help with farming.
They are all used to doing farm work, although everyone is not very familiar with this rice planting, and after a period of guidance from Lang Shuzhi, they will all be able to.
The depth of the seedlings and the number of seedlings are all particular, Lang Shuzhi is obviously a clear person, and he has emphasized it several times, and the big guy has remembered the essentials.
Xu Lang kept an eye on it and said deliberately: "I'm just trying to plant this year, if it's successful, everyone can plant rice, so that the harvest will be more." So this year, everyone is studying hard and can accumulate experience. ”
When he said this, even if someone wanted to be lazy and slippery, it would not work. This is the time to study, and if you don't plant it well next year, you will sit on wax.
What is the price of rice in Youzhou Mansion, no one understands the market better than these people who rely on the sky and the earth to eat.
Paddy fields are not as good as mountainous areas, so you need to take off your shoes and step on the water-soaked mud to plant seedlings. Although the weather in May was warmer, the man's legs and feet were soaked in the mud, and the day was cold.
Fortunately, Lin Xiao spent a lot of money to buy a batch of fresh ginger and sugar. Ginger cut into thin shreds, put in a large pot and boil for half an hour, when the pot is boiled, put in sugar, the unique fragrance of fresh ginger spread far away, provoked many people drooling.
Lin Xiao and the copper hammer carried the ginger juice in a large wooden barrel, Shen Rourou followed behind with a few bowls, and the little tail followed closely with a little short legs, which became a scene in the village.
The ridge was slippery and difficult to walk, Gu Dalei and Xu Lang saw that Lin Xiao was struggling to lift, and the two hurriedly came over to help.
"The big guys are resting, come and drink a bowl of ginger soup to ward off the cold." Lin Xiao greeted everyone with a smile, first served two bowls to Gu Dalei and Xu Lang, and then began to greet others.
Xiao Bu looked at the barrel, licked his lips, and whispered, "Master, leave me some." Leave me some. "I'm afraid that Lin Xiao will divide everything.
Copper Hammer couldn't help laughing, "Why do you want to eat everything?" "A few days ago, the little guy didn't know who said that the donkey meat was delicious, so he took the horse of the people in the house as a donkey, and ran to the courtyard of the house in Qiantun to watch it for a long time. It makes the descendants of the Juju family think that their lost children are gone.
Afterwards, when the hammer found him, he heard the little one ask, "How much silver did you get for buying their donkey?" "I look so hungry that I drool, and I'm also drunk.
"You snacker, you won't want to drink this." Ginger soup though with sugar. It's still very spicy, Lin Xiao didn't expect the little guy to drink it at all, look at the way he is greedy, Lin Xiao wants to be happy when he looks at it.
Gu Dalei deliberately teased him and brought his bowl to his mouth. "Zhiyuan, do you want to drink?"
Last time, he was almost beaten up for disrespecting people, and the little guy puffed out his cheeks and glanced at him, "Uncle, can I drink it?" Gu Dalei nodded, and the little guy looked at the master with a look of approval, and hurriedly leaned over to drink. Look at his impatient look. I don't know, I think the food at home is harsh.
"Ahem, spicy ......" the little guy stuck out his tongue and wanted to cry, "Uncle is bad, it's not good to drink......"
Gu Dalei laughed, "I didn't say this was delicious." "This little gluttonous cat knew it was going to be like this.
Lin Xiao glanced at him angrily, "Kid, you tease too." Squatting down and patting the little guy, "You said you don't like to drink, you have to be strong." What do you think? ”
The little guy spits out his little tongue, "Spicy." Lin Xiao smiled heartlessly. It's spicy, it's cold. Looking at the aggrieved face of the good apprentice, Lin Xiao kissed his little face, "Don't be aggrieved." Let you be disobedient and be deceived. These words successfully diverted the little guy's attention, and he glanced at Gu Dalei sadly, and the little pouting could hang the oil bottle.
Gu Dalei didn't want to lie down, so he hurriedly said, "You can't blame me for this." It's up to you to drink. "The little guy thinks about it, and he doesn't even bother.
"The master will take you to fish in a while, you are obedient." Lin Xiao divided the ginger soup, saw the big guy pull up his trouser legs and go to plant rice, and stood on the ridge for a while.
Xu Lang and Gu Dalei did not go down to plant rice seedlings, the two of them carried a soil basket, which was full of rice seedlings, and threw them everywhere in the paddy field from time to time, so that the people who planted rice seedlings in it did not have to look for rice seedlings everywhere, they could reach it with their hands, and they could pick it up after planting a section.
Everyone planted a three or five columns, the good ones were planted with straight lines, of course, there were also those that were not accurate for the first time planting, and the ones that were planted were crooked, looking awkward but would not affect the autumn harvest.
The women took the children to watch the excitement on the ridges, and they had to be careful that the naughty children accidentally fell into the rice fields, and if they didn't get it right, they would be covered in muddy water, and they would have to do another job of washing clothes when they came home.
The copper hammer helped to carry the empty bucket back, Lin Xiao carefully led the little one, Shen Rourou followed step by step, and the four of them left the rice field again.
Just in time for Xu Lang to go to Lang Shuzhi's house to pick rice seedlings, he teased a few children, "Do you want to go and see?" There were a lot of earthworms and crickets under the rice seedlings. "The soil for the rice seedlings is the kind of fluffy mountain skin soil dug from the hillside, and the farmer's fertilizer is added to the house, this kind of soil is strong and fluffy, and it is often watered to keep it moist, which is the easiest to provoke these small animals.
"Earthworms can fish, I'll take a look." The boy is obviously a man with a life, and he is busy following him.
"What is a cricket?" Xiao Bu also expressed a strong interest in novelty things.
Shen Rourou's typical little girl temperament was a little reluctant to go, and she wanted to see how many earthworms there were down there, so the four-person team shifted direction again.
Anyone who has eaten rice seedlings at home knows that when the rice seedlings are dug up, there are all kinds of earthworms and crickets on the fluffy soil below to make small lines like a chessboard, and it is not a problem to be lucky enough to encounter that kind of coarse earthworms.
Sure enough, Xu Lang removed those rice seedlings, and the earthworms with the thickness of his little finger crawled quickly.
"Ah, that's a big one." Xiao Bu screamed, and the copper hammer over there had neatly grabbed the two earthworms and held them in his hands.
"Give it to me, give it to me, Brother Copper Hammer, and I'll hold it for you." Xiao Bu was screaming, and he was not afraid, Xiao Fat was holding two slippery earthworms in his hands, and he was nervous.
"Master, quickly find me something to put it on." It's good that he caught a few earthworms and instructed the big guys.
Over there, Shen Rourou found a broken tile for him, grabbed a handful of moist soil and put it on the tile, "You put the earthworm on this." Sure enough, the earthworm went to the top and drilled into the soil, although it also climbed out, and found that there was only this one soil, so it was honest. (To be continued.) )
