Thinking of the destructive effects of these highly toxic pesticides on human beings, Guo Zhuocheng even hopes that their prices should rise to sky-high prices, so that farmers cannot afford to buy or use them.

Of course, this method is only a negative method, and if it is really like this, it will definitely be full of complaints.

A good solution is, of course, for farmers to use less or no highly toxic pesticides, or to replace them with non-toxic pesticides with short residue periods. Of course, Guo would like to see another approach: to guide farmers to carry out ecological agricultural production, using frogs, ants, and spiders to control pests and diseases, and replacing chemical fertilizers with farm manure and organic fertilizer.

However, this task is heavy and arduous, in addition to the necessary technical means, he must first change the current mentality of leading cadres, so that leading cadres and agricultural experts have the concept of environmental protection, only let them know the danger of polluting the environment, only let them know the importance of environmental protection, it is possible to form an atmosphere of attaching importance to the surrounding environment in society, public opinion propaganda departments will focus on publicizing environmental protection, will let ordinary people consider the living environment for future generations, so as to consider the problem of pollution more in development, There is some restraint in the behavior that destroys the environment and resources.

When his thoughts flew away because of a bucket of small crabs, Ye Shihua, Xu Lei, and Liu Feng were washing their feet.

Guo Zhuocheng hadn't moved yet, Xu Lei said curiously: "Guo Zhuocheng, why haven't you washed your feet yet?" We'll go later. ”

Guo Zhuocheng sighed, walked to the river and sat on a hemp stone to clean the sludge on his hands and feet.

Ye Shihua glanced at Guo Zhuocheng and smiled at Xu Lei: "Xu Lei, you didn't give him face today, he was only afraid of hating Liu Feng and us to death." ”

Xu Lei pursed her mouth and said, "I haven't promised to be his girlfriend, why should I give him face?" I really ......, forget it, I'm not from him, I don't bother to care about his business. ”

Obviously, something bad about Yang Jian was discovered by Xu Lei.

Ye Shihua saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassed. turned his head to Guo Zhuocheng and said, "Guo Zhuocheng, you are really capable." Ploughing the fields is like a master in the countryside, and even catching crabs is so good. I doubt you're from the city. ”

Ye Shihua's strategy was very successful, hearing that Guo Zhuocheng would plow the fields, Liu Feng and Xu Lei really focused their attention on Guo Zhuocheng, and both of them looked disbelieving: "How is it possible?" ”

Ye Shihua said with admiration: "He is so powerful." My dad and our neighbors all said that he had the ability, that he only needed to learn how to plow the field a few times, and that he was better than the old farmers. ”

A few people laughed for a while. After the water on his hands and feet dried, he put on his socks and shoes again and climbed the embankment, laughing all the way to Xu Lei's house.

Xu Lei's house is a high-end local house, and if it was in a previous life, it could be called a villa: the main body of the building is a three-story cement house, and the yard is made of red bricks, enclosing a large area. There is a garden full of flowers and plants outside the yard, but because of habit, there are also a lot of vegetables in it, such as cucumbers, eggplants, peppers, garlic and so on.

Vegetables grow luxuriantly. But because the season has not yet arrived, many fruits and vegetables are not yet ripe. Even garlic is only a few inches long, so you can't eat it yet.

Seeing the four of them coming, a middle-aged woman appeared inside, and hurriedly came out to open the door. Her demeanor should not be Xu Lei's mother, it is estimated that she is a maid, but she doesn't dare to call a maid now. Because that's the name of a capitalist country.

Sure enough, Xu Lei said to the middle-aged woman, "Aunt Liu, you can help us get the crabs here." Wait and eat. ”

The woman had almost a bucket of crabs, and her face was a little embarrassed: If you really want to clean it, how busy will it be?

Xu Lei smiled again and said, "The two of them are free laborers and will help you." ”

The middle-aged woman turned cloudy and sunny all of a sudden, but her face was a little embarrassed when Xu Lei said that she was on her mind, and she couldn't help but say, "I'll come alone, I'll come alone." ”

Xu Lei said: "No, they must participate in this kind of thing." As she spoke, she said to Guo Shucheng, "I won't be as accustomed to you as Ye Shihua." These crabs are washed and made by you and Liu Feng together. Ye Shihua and I are only responsible for tasting and eating! As he spoke, he said to Ye Shihua, "Let's go, let's wash our hands and let them get it." ”

Guo Zhuocheng does not refuse to do these things, for him, doing this kind of thing is really a bit interesting, far more refreshing than sitting with the two girls and talking about those sunny and snowy things, not to mention that he can also talk to this middle-aged woman to understand some of the situations in which the family asks for help now, as well as their inner thoughts: "Isn't this also a kind of research?" ”

Under the guidance of the middle-aged woman, they soon came to the kitchen at the back of the yard.

"Guo Zhuocheng, do you know how to deal with these crabs in the city?" Liu Feng asked while turning on the faucet to rinse the crabs.

"Isn't it just fried after washing?" Guo Zhuocheng said that such a small crab must not be steamed and eaten like the hairy crab in Chengyang Lake.

"How do you wash it?" Liu Feng asked with a smile.

Guo Zhuocheng thought about it, but he really didn't know how to wash it, and asked: "Raise them with water, and then drip clear oil in the clean water, and let them spit out the mud and sand in their stomachs by themselves." ”

Liu Feng looked disbelieving and asked, "Is this possible?" ......, what you're talking about is that you can remove the dirt from the crab's belly, but how to get rid of the dirt in the chela on the outside? Actually, these little crabs don't have dirt in their stomachs, so you don't need to make them spit out at all. ”

As he spoke, he said a few words to the middle-aged woman. The middle-aged woman quickly brought two plastic toothbrushes.

Liu Feng handed a toothbrush to Guo Zhuocheng, then grabbed a crab from the bucket and brushed it, and said, "Let's wash off the coarse mud on their bodies first, that is, use a toothbrush to brush their whole body." ......, you're from the city, and you're more hygienic than we are, so we'll get rid of the mud from their stomachs as you do when we've brushed it. ”

Guo Zhuocheng brushed the crab while learning from him, and asked, "It's so small, it's all shells, is it delicious to stir-fry?" ”

"You're not mistaken, are you? This hairy crab doesn't have any meat, you fry it and eat it? When you eat it, it's all shell. You don't understand. Liu Feng quickly threw the brushed crab into the basin next to him and said, "This kind of crab must be roasted and eaten, or simmered and eaten, that is, wrapped in paper and simmered under the wood fire." This way it tastes good, these soft shells can be eaten, and these long hairs on their bodies can be removed. Otherwise, they're just a pile of garbage. ”

The two girls came down not long after they went upstairs, apparently dressed up on it, and smelled of perfume. While asking Liu Feng what they could do, they helped out: poured water into a basin filled with clean crabs and poured some cooking oil into it.

After that, they made tea for Guo Zhuocheng and them, and then each took a small stool and sat down next to Liu Feng and Guo Zhuocheng, while the two men carefully brushed the crabs crawling in the bucket.

Ye Shihua looked at Xu Lei's eyes with a strange look and smiled softly.

Xu Lei immediately noticed Ye Shihua's smile, hurriedly took her eyes off Liu Feng's body, and asked shyly: "Ye Shihua, you have a lot of ghosts in your heart, are you laughing at me?" ”

Ye Shihua said: "Where am I smiling? If you don't have a ghost in your heart, how do you know I'm laughing at you? ”

Xu Lei said: "I know what you look like." Say! What are you laughing at? As he spoke, his hands were about to come and grab her.

Ye Shihua hurriedly stood up and dodged, and said with a smile: "I laugh at you for not being authentic." Someone else donated so much money for this class reunion, but you two guys left him aside. It's really in vain. ”

Xu Lei said disappreciably: "Who wants him to be amorous." ”

Guo Zhuocheng smiled: "My fair lady, the gentleman is good." You are so beautiful, can people not be sentimental? Hehe......"

Liu Feng glanced at Xu Lei warmly, laughed proudly, and threw the crab into the bucket.

"Hey, you haven't brushed that one just now." Ye Shihua noticed that he just took the crab and threw it into a clean basin, and hurriedly looked for the crab that was not brushed.

Guo Shucheng smiled: "Don't be busy. So much how do you find it. Forget it, you won't get sick if you don't eat it cleanly. When it comes to being with beautiful women, some people are much more likely to make mistakes. ”

Men and women are not tired of working together, and the two of them quickly finished brushing more than a dozen catties of crabs. The middle-aged woman barely intervened, carrying firewood outside to prepare them for the crab barbecue.

After doing this, it was time for dinner, and the four of them walked towards the hotel in the town. These packed crabs are for supper.

They came in, except for Yang Jian, who was a little depressed, and the others enthusiastically shouted at them to play poker.

At this time, mahjong was not popular here, karaoke had not yet been introduced in China, and young people only had three things to do together: playing poker, bragging, chatting, and television. Ballroom dancing is found in cities at or above the county seat, but it has not yet become popular in small towns and rural areas.

Both poker-playing rooms were filled with the smell of low-quality cigarettes. Nowadays, people do not have the concept that smoking is harmful to health, but young people think that smoking is a fashion, and no one knows about the dangers of secondhand smoke.

Guo Shucheng dragged Ye Shihua out of the two smoky rooms and went to the reception hall outside, while Liu Feng and Xu Lei went to chat with their classmates.

In the reception area of the reception hall, there were five classmates who did not smoke and did not like to play cards. Among them, Zhu Bing was still singing a song in a low voice there, and another female classmate was holding a hand-copied songbook and trying to score music. Wang Li and the other two male classmates were talking about something, laughing from time to time.

Guo Zhuocheng heard that the song sung by Zhu Bing was "Mother in the Candlelight" sung by Liang Liang, which was popular all over the country.

Listening to this familiar song, Guo Zhuocheng's mind immediately appeared in the shadow of a jade girl who does not eat fireworks in the world.
