Chapter III Breeding Planning

Lin Xiaoquan compared several water sources in Taoyuan, and decided to choose the river near the field as the source of watering, this river came from the edge of the fog and flowed to the other side of the edge of the mist, the river was a continuous stream of living water.

There is a sandy beach near the lower reaches of the river, the sand is fine and white, and it is very comfortable to walk on it barefoot. This surprised Koizumi very much, and he felt that he was on the beach by the sea that he had introduced in the textbook. Koizumi tried the water in the middle and upper reaches of the river and found that it was sweet; The water in the middle and lower reaches of the beach is salty. A river is filled with fresh and salty water, and Izumi is once again struck by the wonder of the paradise.

Koizumi experimented with pouring some small fish and shrimp in the middle and upper reaches of the river that he had netted in the outside river, and after a few days found that the small fish and shrimp had not "disappeared" or ran into the salty water downstream, but had been in this section of the river in Taoyuan.

Therefore, Koizumi decided that in addition to watering the crops planted, the river could also be used to cultivate some aquatic organisms, and the middle and lower reaches would have the opportunity to add marine fish, kelp, crabs, shellfish, and other marine aquatic products in the future.

In addition to aquatic organisms, Lin Xiaoquan has enclosed a vacant land between the field and the river, and plans to raise some common chickens, ducks, geese, and other poultry and even pigs, cattle, sheep, and horses when conditions permit in the future.

The chicken coop at home is relatively small, and Lin Xiaoquan and his grandmother can't raise a few chickens. Koizumi thought that in the future, even if he couldn't take out chickens or other poultry to slaughter in the open, he could at least put a few more eggs in his chicken coop to help improve the food conditions at home.

In addition to aquatic products and common poultry, Koizumi also added pigeons, quails, bees, and ants to her plan, and she planned to let these cuties go directly to the forests on the hillside.

Lin Xiaoquan carefully studied the ponds next to several houses: the largest pond was arranged as a lotus pond, there was a pool with warmth like a natural hot spring for bathing, and a small well next to the house, which was used as a daily source of drinking water. The two pools and a well are both "asking the canal to be as clear as it is, for there is a source of living water". There is no need for Koizumi to worry about polluting the water source.

When I was studying, from Han Yuefu's "Jiangnan" "Lotus Leaves He Tiantian, Fish Play Between Lotus Leaves" to Zhu Ziqing's "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond" "On the twists and turns of the lotus pond, it is the leaves of the fields that I look at." The leaves come out of the water very high, like the skirt of a dancing girl. Among the layers of leaves, there are some white flowers scattered sporadically, some blooming, some shyly playing flowers...... "Lin Xiaoquan has always wanted to see the beautiful lotus pond scenery described in the poem, and now Taoyuan has helped her realize this dream."

During the summer vacation, it is the peak season of the farm, the green waves are rolling in the fields, and the melons and fruits in the vegetable garden are fragrant. A family in the village planted a little lotus root in the ditch next to their house. On this day, Lin Xiaoquan exchanged a few tender lotus roots with silt from the family that planted lotus roots, and bought two pork bones at the market, planning to make some lotus root pork bone soup soup for his grandmother and himself that night. The remaining small side branches next to the big lotus root are left in the Taoyuan lotus pond for planting.

On this summer night, after dinner, I drank the nourishing and mild lotus root pork bone soup with a long aftertaste, and after washing, I lay on the bed, and Xiaoquan fell asleep in a daze while thinking about the lotus pond in the peach garden.

In my sleep, the small lotus pond in the peach source has been covered with huge lotus leaves, the breeze blows, and the small water droplets in the core of the lotus leaves roll wantonly; In the middle of the green lotus leaves, the pink lotus flowers are either half-open or fully blooming, slim and graceful.
