As the saying goes, spring ploughing is an inch deep, and you can top up the dung.

Spring ploughing is to plough the land before sowing seeds, so that the crops can grow well. But ploughing is not easy to live, especially at this time the ox is still covered with a straight plough, when ploughing the plough turn back is not flexible enough, the soil is laborious, and the efficiency is not high.

Therefore, even if the Liu family has a strong cow, it is obviously impossible to plough 60 acres before sowing. It also has to rely on manpower, one hoe is deep and one hoe is shallow, and one acre of land is turned over and one acre of loose land.

People are not machines, and when they plough the land in a day, they can't bear it even if they are as strong as Liu Qianli, not to mention the Liu family. But for the first few days, Liu, who was swinging a hoe in the field all day, couldn't lift his arms, and his back hurt so much that he couldn't sleep. Fortunately, the farm at home is limited, and the three of them only have two hoes, so the Liu family can go to the field for two days and take one day off.

Liu Chenxing saw it in her eyes, and saw that the Liu family was about to go to the ground for five or six days, and everyone seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and the whole person couldn't hide her tiredness, she didn't dare to say anything about spring ploughing every day.

I remember learning when I was studying in the Celestial Empire that science and technology are the primary productive forces, and now they are production tools. I knew that she was dressed as a small peasant girl, what kind of ancient Chinese major she had studied at the beginning, how good it was to study agriculture, and directly used the Quyuan plow, which was improved in the late Tang Dynasty, to the present, which greatly improved the efficiency of cultivated land.

Ay!

Forget it, it's useless to regret it, she still obediently acts as a farmer's little Lori, picks pigweed and picks wild vegetables, and strives to complete today's task as soon as possible, so that she can go home and boil some hot water for A-Niang, and use a hot cloth to compress A-Niang's arms and waist, which is a little more real.

On the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops into the soil. Probably only when you have truly felt the hardships of the peasant families can you know the hardships of life and the hard-won food.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead again, the annual spring plowing and sowing is finally over.

The neighbors in the fields have only raised some white skin in winter and tanned again, but their faces are relieved and smile in the sun.

Uncle Liu beat his waist with one hand and supported the hoe with the other, standing in the newly planted field, and shouted to the second grandson on the ridge with a smile: "Qingshan, the work in the field is almost over, I will finish the harvest with you Aye, and go back with farm tools!" It's been raining at night for the past few days, and it is estimated that there are fish swimming out of the river at the head of the village, so you can take Ah Xing to see if you can catch one! Go back and let your grandma add food! ”

"Okay! Awn! When Liu Qingshan heard this, he immediately grinned and showed a mouthful of white teeth, and pulled Liu Chenxing, who was delivering water, and ran quickly to the river.

Spring, summer and autumn are good times for fishing, especially after a few heavy rains, the fish swim from deep water to shallow water, just in time for fishing.

Nowadays, fish is a popular delicacy. The upper class officials and nobles like it, and the lower class cloth clothes people also love it, among which there is a fish dish called "cut fish", that is, the modern sashimi, which is the most common and favorite delicacy of the people. Therefore, sashimi was invented by our Han ancestors at all, so what did the Japanese still learn from us.

However, Liu Chenxing still doesn't like to eat the dish of cut fish very much, not to mention the cold, what if there are parasites? The current level of medical care is not at all curable.

In order to prevent Grandma Liu from taking fish to cut fish, as soon as Liu Chenxing came to the river at the entrance of the village, she handed over the work of catching fish to her brother, and she took off her straw sandals, rolled up her trouser legs, and went down to the river barefoot to pick lettuce in the shallow water.

It's already April, and the lettuce is just growing up, and it's the most tender time. The place where the village is located should not be the main production area of Ulva cabbage, but in the end, it is still born wild and grows a little, and after a while, most of the Ulva in the pocket of the clothes is picked, and they are all tender shoots with curly leaves.

There are many people in the village who think the same as Mr. Liu, and they plan to improve the food for their families after the spring plowing and sowing, so they all go to the river at the entrance of the village to fish and add vegetables. Fortunately, they came early, so she brought the lettuce ashore with the hem of her clothes, and the elder brother caught a big fish weighing at least two catties.

"Brother is amazing!" Children need to praise, Brother is still a child in modern times, Liu Chenxing never hesitated to praise him, of course, he did not forget to seek benefits for himself: "When I graze cattle tomorrow, Brother will catch another one, I will pick up dry firewood, and we will cook fish and eat together!" ”

No way, don't blame her for eating in her heart, tonight's lettuce fish soup, she doesn't estimate how much, and the fish is rich in protein, she just needs it, eat more to grow taller, isn't it?

Liu Qingshan hugged the fish that was still alive, rolled his eyes indecently, pouted towards the river, and said, "After tonight, do you think you can catch another fish?" ”

Liu Chenxing looked at the men, women and children who went down to the river to fish like dumplings, and his cute and flattering smile froze, and his whole face collapsed instantly, but his face changed in an instant, and he said with high morale: "No matter, anyway, the fish was caught by my brother, and the vegetables were picked by me, why do my brothers and sisters have to share a big bowl of fish soup and four pieces of fish meat tonight!" ”

At this time, it was Brother Mo Ruo, who knew his sister, as soon as Liu Qingshan heard it, he immediately understood what his sister meant, as soon as Grandma brought the fish soup, his brother and sister first said that they made the fish, and they contributed the most, and they should get a big bowl of fish soup.

Thinking about it, Liu Qingshan's eyes couldn't help but light up and said: "It's worthy of my sister, it's clever!" ”

Looking at Liu Qingshan's stealthy cat appearance, Liu Chenxing wanted to cover his face, the simple and honest brother on the outside, became a fox in his heart, and he was so narcissistic, it shouldn't have been guided by her, right?

"Ahem! Brother, home is gone! Liu Chenxing coughed.

Although Grandma Liu is eccentric and patriarchal, her cooking skills are still good.

Three times five divided by two directly scrape the scales to remove the gills, and click twice to pinch the head and tail to leave the middle, and then remove the fish bones, and slice the fish meat in the middle one by one. Grandma Liu's knife work is also good, and the fish under the slice is thin and thin, and the size is almost the same.

Nowadays, almost every family will make wine, and every year after the autumn harvest, the grain will always take out some to brew a jar of turbid wine. It's just that in the end, it is made of grain, and most people will take it out during festivals or entertaining guests. Today's spring ploughing is over, it is time to comfort the next family, Grandma Liu rarely generously took out the turbid wine at home, in fact, it is almost the same as the current mash, but in the absence of various seasonings, it is not easy to take out the turbid wine and coarse salt to marinate fish fillets.

The fish fillets have to be marinated for a while before they taste, and Grandma Liu simply boiled the fish bones that were removed first into a fresh soup, then removed the fish bones, cooked the fish fillets, and finally put the lettuce into the pot, and the hot lettuce fish fillet soup was out of the pot.

It's a pity that edible oil hasn't started to be used nowadays, otherwise a few drops of sesame oil will be dropped when the pot is started, and the fresh and delicious will really not be placed.

But now it's also very good.

The snow-white fish, the green lettuce, and the green and white, that is the delicious taste on the tip of the tongue.

Liu Chenxing felt like he was going to drool!
