Song Qingtian asked in surprise: "Uncle Guangkuan, where did these loaches come from?" ”

"Nizi, after you came to my house that day, I heard that you were going to start harvesting loaches, it happened to be raining these days, I thought that the loaches were not easy to harvest, and while it was raining, I would prepare the loaches for you, I didn't expect it to really come in handy."

Song Xifeng asked puzzledly: "Where did these loaches come from?" Why so many? ”

Zhao Guangkuan walked to the side of the water tank and uncovered a wooden board on the ground, revealing a hole inside.

After uncovering several planks in succession, a small square 10-square-meter pond was revealed, with occasional bubbles popping out of it.

Zhao Guangkuan said: "When our yard was in the production team, it was a feed fermentation tank for raising cattle. Later, after the land reform, the village gave this place to my family to live in, and I raised loaches in it, and what you see is a pond, and there are ten of these pools in this yard.

It's strange to say, this fermentation pond raises loaches, the loaches grow fast, I was going to sell these, Lei Ming knows the situation at home, so let me raise it first, maybe I can help Nizi a little help. ”

Song Qingtian knew that this kind of fermentation pond is to crush the straw of the grain stalk and wheat straw without nutrition, mix it with a small amount of lime of koji, put it in the pool and compact, and after a period of time, the fermented grain stalk and wheat straw become nutritious after fermentation.

The stomach of the cow is composed of 4 stomach chambers, namely the rumen, the hive stomach, the double stomach and the wrinkled stomach, the stomach is quite a lot, but because the cow is a ruminant, it only stores a large amount of food in one of the stomachs, and the food is regurgitated from the stomach to the mouth in the free time, and chewed into the other three stomachs. This is especially easy to get sick with indigestion, bloating, diarrhea, and illness.

The stems of the fermented plants are easier for cattle to absorb when eaten, digest well, and do not get sick easily.

This kind of fermentation pond is available in every village when the production team has a big pot of rice.

It's just that Zhao Guangkuan's method of raising loaches in fermentation ponds is really unique.

Song Qingtian said, "Uncle Guangkuan, you have helped me a lot. ”

Zhao Guangkuan sighed and said, "Nizi, Lei Ming really has nothing to say to you." ”

Song Qingtian couldn't help but feel hot.

Zhao Leiming really has nothing to say to himself, no one knows where he is now, and he left himself such a back road in advance.

This delicate, thoughtful, and considerate feeling made Song Qingtian's heart throb for a while, with sweetness spreading in her heart, and a faint lovesickness lingering.

Zhao Leiming, where was he assigned to the army? Why hasn't there been any news?

Song Qingtian settled down and asked, "Uncle Guangkuan, do you sell all these loaches?" ”

Zhao Guangkuan said: "These are almost more than 700 catties, if you want them all, I will sell them all, I pick all the big ones, the small ones are still raised, and there are three pools that have not been fished out." ”

"Those, Uncle Guangkuan, I want all of your more than 700 catties, can you save the remaining three pools first, and in the future, when you encounter such weather, you can also save me."

"That's fine."

The loach matter was solved, but it was a problem to transport the more than 700 catties of loaches to the town.

Zhao Guangkuan said: "Qingtian Nizi, don't worry about this, you don't take two young men, plus just three people, I will find a few laborers from the village, each of them will carry dozens of catties, and they will be carried to the town in one trip." ”

Just do it, Zhao Guangkuan found four prime men from the village, plus Zhao Guangkuan and three people, they had to be 100 catties a day, Zhao Guangkuan's wife took out 7 snakeskin bags from home, weighed the loaches separately, and the group went out with the loaches on their backs.

Yao Xiaotao's house was flooded today, and she cleaned up at home for a day, she was tired and had a sore back, and she hadn't cleaned it up yet, so she wanted to find some men who had a good time with her to help.

When I went out, I saw Song Xifeng and a group of people passing by the door of their house with snakeskin bags on their backs.

Yao Xiaotao pondered, this young man is young, his strength is quite big, and the snakeskin bag he is carrying is always about 100 catties, so he asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Song Xifeng didn't pay attention to her, Qin Xiaofei had a good relationship with Zhao Leiming, and he also knew Yao Xiaotao, so he was embarrassed not to speak, so he smiled and said, "Let's go to town." ”

Yao Xiaotao said "oops": "Xiaofei, you are also here, can you carry so much?" Don't get tired. ”

Yao Xiaotao's words were down-to-earth concerns, Qin Xiaofei suddenly thought that they were talking about Zhao Leiming's news just now, Song Qingtian seemed to be in a bad mood at that time, maybe he could hear the news of Zhao Leiming from Yao Xiaotao, so he simply stopped.

Song Qingtian saw Qin Xiaofei's intentions, and also slowed down his pace and listened on the side.

"Little Aunt Peach, I'm fine. I want to ask you something, did Brother Lei Ming write back? ”

Yao Xiaotao said dissatisfiedly: "Lei Ming, this child, there will be no news as soon as he leaves, and there will be a reply, I'm afraid I forgot that there is still my mother at home." ”

"Then I know, Aunt Peach, if Brother Lei Ming has any news, can you let Zhao Gengju tell me?"

"Of course you can, you kid, it's good for Lei Ming at a young age." After Yao Xiaotao finished speaking, her eyes glanced at Song Xifeng's back and asked, "Xiaofei, what's that guy's name?" ”

Song Qingtian wanted to wink at Qin Xiaofei and didn't let Qin Xiaofei tell Yao Xiaotao, but Qin Xiaofei didn't see it, nor did he think about Yao Xiaotao's intentions, so he naturally said: "His name is Song Xifeng." ”

"Uh-huh, Song Xifeng, it's a good name."

Yao Xiaotao said, hurriedly ran home, and took out two towels from home, one was placed on Qin Xiaofei's shoulder, and the other was stuffed into Qin Xiaofei's hand: "Xiaofei, you and Song Xifeng are both young, and you have walked so far with so many things on your back, and your shoulders are going to bleed when you get to the town, you put the towel on your shoulder, and give the other towel to Song Xifeng." ”

Qin Xiaofei saw that Yao Xiaotao was rarely so kind, and after thanking him, he put on the snakeskin bag on his back and left.

Yao Xiaotao seemed to notice Song Qingtian at this time, "You Nizi, I said that you are a nemesis, you still don't admit it, look at the rain in the past few days, many homes in our village have been flooded, and it is all caused by you coming to our village to set up a stall." ”

Song Qingtian didn't want to pay attention to this woman, so he strode after Qin Xiaofei, wanting to snatch the towel from Yao Xiaotao's hand and throw it away.

But after thinking about it carefully, what Yao Xiaotao said was right, the third uncle and Xiaofei carried 100 catties of things to the town, and their shoulders would definitely be worn out, so they simply caught up with Song Xifeng with a towel and stuffed the towel under the snakeskin bag on Song Xifeng's shoulder.

Zhao Guangkuan called a few middle-aged laborers to help, who were bored walking, and began to ridicule Song Xifeng.

"You young man, this is because Widow Yao has taken a fancy to you, right?"

"It's not for Widow Yao, what else can it be, this towel has been sent to the shoulder pad, the rest of us don't have such treatment, this time to send a towel, next time I'm afraid I'm going to give someone to you."

Suddenly, the other two middle-aged laborers burst into laughter.

Song Xifeng was a little unhappy in his heart, and he was about to tear off the towel on his shoulder, Song Qingtian held his hand and whispered: "Third uncle, everyone is joking, if you break your shoulder because you can't stand the joke, how will you work tomorrow?" ”

Several middle-aged laborers saw that Song Xifeng didn't speak, and became more and more unscrupulous and joking.

A group of rough men, who spoke without a cover, Song Qingtian didn't want to listen to these words, seeing that Qin Xiaofei was walking slowly, he simply walked with Qin Xiaofei at the back.

When he arrived in the town, Song Qingtian hurriedly went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy 5 packs of Baiheqiao cigarettes, and distributed them to Zhao Guangkuan and the four laborers he called.

"Thank you, Uncle Guangkuan, for your hard work."

Zhao Guangkuan and a few laborers didn't expect Song Qingtian to be so generous, they originally thought that they would come to help, just have saliva to drink, and Song Qingtian's shot was a pack of Baiheqiao cigarettes.

Baiheqiao is a local cigarette in Nanzhou City, although the grade is not very high, but it is indeed the best cigarette in the local area, for farmers who often smoke dry tobacco, a pack of Baiheqiao cigarettes are the price of a pound of meat.

After a few people went back with joy, Song Qingtian looked at the more than 700 catties of loaches that came back, each fat and tender, evenly sized, no small one, after putting it away, let Yang Xiulian prepare to cook.

Early the next morning, as soon as Song Qingtian got up, two cars were parked in front of his house.

One is Tao Jinshan's and the other is Lu Xin's.

Tao Jinshan came to deliver the dough sheeter, and according to Song Qingtian's request, he bought three, each for 75 yuan, and Song Qingtian returned the money to Tao Jinshan in time.

Song Xifeng and Qin Xiaofei helped unload the dough sheeter, and Tao Jinshan wanted to talk to Song Qingtian about reducing the price of noodles, but saw her talking with the driver of another car.

The license plate of the car is from Jizhou Province, it seems that it is from a long way, Tao Jinshan is a smart person, and the long-distance traveler is naturally a good hospitality, he is in the county seat, and he will arrive in the town in an hour, and it is convenient to go back and forth, so he will leave first under the pretext that he has something to do.
