Chapter 22 Fish Fry
It is the busy season of farming, and every family is not idle, so you will be walking on the country roads, and you can see patches of fields full of water, or farmers bent over planting rice seedlings or farmers plowing the fields. People here have two robberies a year, one for spring planting and the other for autumn harvest. At this time, in order to plant the seedlings in the field as soon as possible, every household is busy almost every day and night, and they are afraid that it will be late, and the seedlings will not survive in the field, so it will be in vain this season. So the fields are busy.
Naturally, the Tian family was no exception, it was the whole family that went out, and even the Li family, who usually didn't go to the fields, went out together. The family was handed over to Tian Lichun, of course, including laundry, cooking, feeding pigs, cleaning and other housework. However, at this time, it can also be reflected that the Tian family has the advantage of having more granddaughters, and there is not much left for each of them to share a little. Xia Zhi didn't arrange any work, she was still busy with her fry.
It is said that Xia Zhi wanted to fish fry, but she was small, and she used the basket at home to fish in the river behind the village for no less than 100 years, and she also fished dozens of small fish fry. And on the summer solstice, Daddy and Auntie were afraid that she would fall into the river, so they almost told her not to go to the Houcun River to fish. Xia Zhi was helpless, thinking that she wanted to fill the fish pond by herself, but she didn't know what the year and month were, so she had to think of another way.
The last thing is that Tian Xiaoman paid attention to Xia Zhi, saying that she went to find help from her friends in the village, anyway, now the family is busy, no one cares about them, and she is saying that there are a few rural babies who don't go into the water. It's the small fish and shrimp they touch in the paddy fields, there are a lot, and this doesn't solve the problem of the summer solstice.
Xia Zhi thought about it, is there a lot of people, she is saying that she doesn't want their fry in vain, you can buy it with money! But you still have to think about how much it costs.
So under Tian Xiaoman's order, more than a dozen children, large and small, came from outside the gate of Tian's house. Xia Zhi stood on the threshold of his house, looking at the large and small radish heads standing below, thinking in his heart that he didn't expect this seventh sister to be quite appealing, and so many people came. It's just that so many people don't know much about Xia Zhi, she only knows that the two children of Aunt Xu's mother's family seem to be called Xu Dazhu and Xu Erzhu, and he smiled at her when he saw Xia Zhi!
Usually the Tian sisters are at home, if they don't go out to dig wild vegetables, Xia Zhi has never seen Tian Xiaoman go out of the house, and I don't know how she can find so many people at once. In fact, the summer solstice came to the Tian family for a few months, and the Tian family was a time when there were many things to do and little food, Tian Xiaoman and Tian Lichun went out to play wild vegetables, and the sisters of the Tian family were harmonious at home, and there were few things to quarrel with, so she didn't know that Tian Xiaoman was spicy and bold in nature. So she often fights with the boys in the village, plus she is kind and doesn't hold grudges, so the boys like to interact with her very much.
"Quiet! Be quiet! Mao Wazi is quiet, don't you hear it! Tian Xiaoman roared and quieted his voice, and when he saw that no one paid attention, he had to name him to be quiet. Xia Zhi looked at Tian Xiaoman, who was standing next to him with a face I am the eldest sister, and I listened to what I said, and couldn't help laughing, I didn't expect the seventh sister to be so domineering.
"I asked everyone to come to my house today to help! Let's not talk, let my sixth sister speak! ”
Xia Zhi saw that Tian Xiaoman let him speak, so he said straight to the point: "Let Xiaoman call you over today to ask everyone to help, of course, this favor is not in vain, if any family has live fish fry, every hundred sent here, I will give him a penny." ”
Xia Zhi has seen the fish fry of the Houcun River eventful grass carp, silver carp, bighead carp, crucian carp, summer solstice plans to put a total of about 1,000 grass carp in his own fish pond of more than one acre, with about 700 silver carp, bighead carp about 200 tails, crucian carp for about 500 tails. The specific summer solstice is not clear, but I remember that it seems that fish farming should pay attention to water quality, and you can't put too many fish fry, as for what summer solstice can't say why. The number of fry is estimated on the summer solstice, after all, there are too many fry and they consume a lot of oxygen, which is definitely not good. However, the specific data of the summer solstice is not clear, so an approximate value is estimated.
As for the money for this fish fry, Xia Zhi also thought it clearly, most of the peasant children grew up in the field, and there was no chance to take money at all, and no one sold this fish fry, and there was no reference, Xia Zhi thought about giving more, and the adults in the family also took it. Ay...... It's all free labor!
However, Xia Zhi was thinking about the fish fry, but the radish head on the ground was in a meeting.
"Such a good thing!?" After all, the peasant children have never been paid, so everyone is a little unconvinced.
"Can't you, my dad will give him a few dollars a day when he goes to the worker's house, and he will get a penny for a hundred small fish?"
"Fake! I'm talking about where she got the money for us! Grandma Tian won't give her money! ”
"Wow~ Send fish fry and get money! It's really fake, it's not to tease us! It won't lie to us! ”
"Who teased you! Who teased you! My sixth sister never lies! Mao Wazi has a lot to do with you, and you were still talking down there just now! As soon as Tian Xiaoman heard that someone didn't believe Xia Zhi's words, and then saw that the child who spoke was the child who she said was quiet but still talking, he exploded.
However, the child named Maowa didn't care much, and only grinned, "Let's talk about it, I didn't say that your sixth sister lied!" Xia Zhi saw that everyone was talking to each other, so he cleared his throat again, and said anewly: "What I said is true, but I must ensure that the fish fry sent are alive, and if they are half-dead, I will not accept them." ”
"Really! Then I still have a lot of fish fry at home, and I was going to feed them to cats, so I raised them at home, so I'll bring them to you! A child in the team who didn't know the name of the road immediately ran out of the road after hearing the words of the summer solstice.
"Sixth sister, that's the grandson of Grandma Tian's family who lives next to the river in front of the village, called Tian Shuzi, that kid likes to go down to the river to touch shrimp and fish when he has nothing to do! I don't know how many times Lu Dao has been beaten by Grandma Tian, but it doesn't work. After Tian Xiaoman saw Xia Zhi's puzzled face, he explained to her.
Xia Zhi nodded, indicating that he knew the truth. However, although Xia Zhi nodded, but in fact, she still didn't know which Tian's grandmother's family the child was, Tianjia Village was basically surnamed Tian, and when she saw an old grandmother, she was basically called Tian's grandmother, how could you tell whose family it was, but Xia Zhi didn't show it. It's just that as soon as Xiaoman's voice fell, the boy named Tian Shuzi ran back with another gust of wind, and he also carried a wooden basin in his hand. Seeing his speed, Xia Zhi couldn't help but sigh that this is the material of athletes in modern times, and in this ancient period, it can only be the material for farming, and he is blind to such good sports cells.
The little radish heads saw that Tian Bolt really brought the fish fry, and they all took him up one after another, and walked forward on the summer solstice, and found that there were really fish fry in the wooden basin he served, and there were quite a few, it is estimated that there were more than 100 fish, but it may have been raised for a long time, and some of the fry were not very good, and it was estimated that the situation would be better when put in the water.
In order to make everyone believe, Xia Zhi picked up the spirited fish fry and collected them, and counted the spiritless fish fry here, so he counted the fish fry, and Xia Zhi paid a penny to Tian Shuzi. The children watching next to him saw that Xia Zhi really paid, so they shouted one after another: "Wow~ Really give money, then I will go to fish fry at home!" "After saying that, I often run out of the door, go home to get tools to catch fish, for fear that it will be too late. If you can't catch fry, you can't make money.
Xia Zhi looked at the children who went home to fish fry, and said that there was no need to worry about running out of fish fry now. Thinking about the two ponds, after putting the fish fry, it was full of fish, and Xia Zhi squinted as if he had seen a gold ingot, with an expression of a mouse stealing food.
"Sixth sister, what did you steal?" Tian Xiaoman saw that everyone was gone, and wanted to turn his head to talk to Xia Zhi, but when he saw her stealing food, he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Ahh No, it's nothing, do you see that your sixth sister looks like a person stealing something to eat! Xia Zhi heard Tian Xiaoman ask her, but she didn't react at first, and when she reacted, she immediately denied it. But her thief's expression was too unconvincing. Tian Xiaoman secretly said in his heart, I look like it, and it looks very similar.
