Chapter 232: Catching Loaches

"It's okay, it's okay. This girl is just talking casually. Actually, I don't really have any secrets here. It's just a matter of luck. In addition, the environment here in Zhaojiatun is better. It's really good for organic rice. Laiwang said.

Kang Can was a little aggrieved, his eyes were red, but he didn't say anything, just lowered his head and kept pulling the edge of his clothes with his hands.

Old Man Luo also smiled, "Children don't understand anything. Laiwang is also very simple and won't care. If you want to talk about the mystery of planting, there is really no mystery here in Laiwang. Lai Wang basically didn't go to the fields a few times. The management of water and fertilizer in the fields is managed by the villagers. ”

Yuan Lao had already lost his breath and nodded slightly, "Then it should be an environmental factor." I looked around and the weeds didn't grow many insects, and I didn't get sick. However, it also shows that the habitat of the rice fields is very stable. I have one more request. ”

"Elder Yuan, if you have any requirements, just say that if you can meet them, I will definitely agree." Laiwang agreed.

"I want to go to your field and take some millet back and study it, and I want to see if the rice has changed in some way. I don't know, can I? Yuan Lao said.

"Yes, what's not to do with that. When you go back, I'll give you a bag of rice. Laiwang said.

"You don't need that much, you can't use any more, just take some prototypes." Yuan Lao continued, "No wonder Luo Lao refused to go back when he arrived here, if it were me, he would not go back." ”

At the end of the evening, Sambo honestly waited for the farm, and they didn't know where to hide for an afternoon. Pretend to be pitiful at this time. Let Laiwang be reluctant to criticize them harshly.

"Are you pretending to be honest now? Why did you run so fast at noon? All of them are given to come and get beaten. Laiwang said.

Laiwang walked into the room and came out with a small stick.

"Hurry up!" Laiwang said.

Three treasures, look at me. I look at you, one by one.

"The first to come was just a hit. The second one hit twice, and the last one hit three. Laiwang ignored their expressions. Every time San Bao causes trouble, he chooses to pretend to be pitiful.

But after hearing Laiwang's words, the three immediately started a civil war. Noble wanted to run to Laiwang's side first, but he didn't expect to be stepped on by Laile's tail. Immediately a vertical step out, immediately came a sandpiper clam to fight, and the fisherman profited.

After Noble Noble figured out what was going on, he immediately pounced on Lyph, but it was too late by this time. Laifu had already run to Laiwang's side.

"It's you who lead the way every time, don't think you're early. I'll let you go. Laiwang picked up the stick and whipped it on Laifu. Laifu shook his body and snorted, with grievances in his voice.

"Laifu, don't come to Uncle Wang's house, you can go to my house. I won't beat you with a stick! Jin Gui saw it and shouted. But Rifles didn't even look at him.

Noble walked down to Laiwang's side step by step, lying on the ground, holding his head with his two front paws. It seems that he is afraid of pain. But the ass was so high that Lai Wang could whip him with a stick.

Laiwang raised his stick and was about to hit it, but Jin Gui pounced. Holding Laiwang's hand with both hands, "Uncle Laiwang, please don't hit them." They're actually so smart, and they won't do anything bad in the future. Besides, they didn't do anything bad today. It's doing you a favor. Are they animals, don't they understand? If you don't take care of them, you're responsible. To fight is to hit you. Jin Gui said.

Old Man Luo said with a smile. "Yes, Jin Gui is right. The three of them are like children. Little children do something wrong. You can only educate well, and you can't beat people. It's not right to hit someone. ”

"Grandpa Luo is right. I don't want those loaches for a while. All for you. "Jin Gui buys allies with material things.

Laiwang didn't really want to fight these three guys. When he hit Laifu just now, his hand was raised very high, but in fact, when the stick fell on Laifu's body, he didn't have much strength.

This time, Rifle was dumbfounded. It looked back at the two triumphant fellows. Just now he ran so fast that those who interceded didn't have time to intercede. This plan was in vain.

"Puppy, I'll give you something to eat. Ignore someone. I just know that it's unreasonable. "Kang Chan shows great motherhood. Treat all the critters as if they were her cubs.

Laiwang knew that this child was still worried about what happened just now, but he didn't bother with this girl. Went into the room with a stick.

Yuan Lao was going to attend a ceremony at the Xinan City Test Base the next day. So I had to rush over after dinner.

Jin Gui caught almost a pound of loaches, and made snacks that night. These days, this wild loach has become difficult to eat. The loaches sold in the city are all raised by farmers, and the umami of this wild loach is naturally lost.

Lai Wang made a dish of braised loach, which made Old Man Luo and Old Yuan full of praise.

"This loach is delicious. But in the city, whether it is a supermarket or a vegetable market, the loaches sold are all farms that are cultivated on a large scale, and the taste is 108,000 miles worse than this. This loach is so fresh. There seems to be a hint of sweetness in the taste. It's been years since I've been late for such a delicious loach. Yuan Lao smiled.

Old Man Luo nodded, "There used to be a lot of loaches. I remember that at that time in the countryside, if you put a bamboo prison, you could be trapped with more than a pound of loaches in one night. I remember that when it rained, the ditch was full of loaches, and at one point the loaches even crawled up the road. You can touch it directly with your hands. ”

"Yes, yes. At that time, catching a loach could be used for a tooth sacrifice. Everyone exchanged the easy-to-save food stamps for a few taels of bulk liquor. It's really enjoyable to eat. Yuan Lao seemed to see the kind of days at that time again.

"yes. At that time, suffering was suffering, but people were more fulfilling than they are now. Young people can find happiness everywhere they go. Old Man Luo said.

Jin Gui didn't understand the past that adults said, but he was interested in catching loaches, "Uncle Laiwang, do you know what a bamboo prison is?" ”

"Of course I do. My uncle used to catch loaches when he was a child. But since the electric fishing machine came out, that thing has lost its effect. And also. When pesticides are sprayed, there are always large swaths of death. There weren't many loaches left in the paddy fields at the back. Laiwang said.

"Yes, electric fishing machines with pesticides. It is the two major killers of rural farmland ecology destruction. Laiwang, your farmland is easy to restore to this state, you have to pay special attention, there are so many loaches in it, I am afraid that some people will be tempted. When the fishing machine comes, not only the loaches will suffer, but also the frogs and many beneficial insects inside. Old Man Luo said.

"Don't worry. I've got a way. I'll talk to the people in our village about who will dare to use a fishing machine to go to the fields in the future. I want him to look good! Laiwang said.

Old Man Luo knew that Laiwang had always done what he said, and rarely said big things, so he nodded, "If this lasts for a year or two, the loaches in the field will definitely be flocks in the future." ”

"Uncle Laiwang, there is water in that field today. Shall we go catch loaches together in the evening? Jin Gui asked.

"Okay. Uncle went to see the water at night, and if you are not afraid of ghosts, go with him. Lai Wang said with a smile.

"Okay! Let's go loach hunting at night! Jin Gui jumped up excitedly.

After dinner, Yuan Lao took advantage of the fact that it was not yet dark. Rushed back to Yellowstone. After a short stay there, you will go directly to the city of Xiannan.

Zhao Shuliang pulled Jin Gui to go back, but Jin Gui refused to live or die.

"I'm not going back. Uncle Wang said it. You're going to take me to catch loaches at night. I'm not going back with you. Jin Gui said.

"Laiwang, you did a good job. Jin Gui put it here. I don't care. Zhao Shuliang said.

"It's okay! Uncle Shuliang. At night I went to put out the water. Otherwise, the field will dry up and crack, and the water will not be able to be turned off in the future. When the time comes, I'll send Jin Gui back by the way. Laiwang said.

"Uncle Laiwang, you can't be a white tongue (referring to lying)? What was promised to me had to be done. Adults can't lie to children. Jin Gui warned.

Lai Wang touched Jin Gui's head. "Don't worry. You stinky boy. Uncle Bao will take you to catch loaches in the evening. ”

Laiwang really didn't break his promise, and it was evening. I drove to the field and brought the cage I used to catch fish in the Huangshi River. Naturally, these cages are not useful in the field. But it is of great use in a canal that is a man's head deep. There are also a lot of loaches in the canals, especially in the area of the farmland in Laiwang.

"Uncle Laiwang, can you catch loaches with your fishing net?" Jin Gui asked.

"Don't worry, you'll be able to catch it." Laiwang said with a smile.

The countryside in summer is not quiet at all, and the frogs are desperately shouting to attract the opposite sex. At night, it's the best time for frogs to fall in love.

In this field of Laiwang, when I shine with a flashlight, there are bright eyes everywhere. This frog is very interesting, at night, with a strong light, immediately stay in the same place stupidly, at this time, carefully walk to its side, you can directly catch the frog with your hands.

When Laiwang was as old as Jin Gui, at this time, he often took him to catch a kind of frog called a stupid frog at night. These frogs are larger, but they are more dumb than ordinary frogs. The taste is extremely delicious. There is also more meat. Adults in the countryside often warn children not to catch frogs or kill them, otherwise they will be guilty. But there is no limit to catching that kind of stupid frog.

The stupid frog has two venom glands on its body, which are not poisonous only in the summer, so it is only in this season that the stupid frog is eaten all year round.

However, over the years, the number of frogs has become less and less, and gradually some people have begun to bring frogs to the table. In the end, the number of big frogs was even smaller than the number of dumb frogs in the past.

But this time, Laiwang used a flashlight to shine, and a lot of stupid frogs were found in the field.

"Silly frog, what a stupid frog. Come to Uncle Wang, let's go catch that stupid frog, shall we? Jin Gui's eyes were very sharp, and he saw the fat stupid frog at once.

"Have you forgotten what Grandpa Luo said to Grandpa Yuan today? Frogs are our farmer's friends, and we can't eat our friends' meat. Laiwang said.

Jin Gui nodded hurriedly, "Our teacher also told us that frogs can help us catch pests. ”

"That's right. But when the number of frogs increases, we can still catch and eat. Not yet. Laiwang said.

"Uncle Wang, how do we catch loaches? Do you turn the field with your hands? Jin Gui asked.

"Flip it by hand. Do you want to turn it all over? Lai Wang said with a smile.

"So how do we catch loaches?" Jin Gui asked.

"Don't worry. Uncle has a way. Lai Wang said with a smile.

Laiwang took Jin Gui to the side of the canal, put some bait in the cage, and let the cage house go to the water outlet.

A small puddle of water is created at the outlet, just enough to submerge the small cage.

After putting the cage away, Lai Wang smiled, "Let's go, there are several such pools in front." Let's put one in each place. I'm sure you've caught more loaches this afternoon. ”

"Don't brag!" Jin Gui said.

"When did Uncle brag?" Laiwang asked rhetorically.

"And what if you don't catch a loach?" Jin Gui asked.

"If there are no loaches in the net, next time Uncle will take you to the town for supper. You can buy whatever you like, what's up? ”

"Okay, it's a word, it's hard to chase any horse!" (To be continued......)
