Chapter 129: The Fish Pond
Early the next morning, the fishpond diggers came, and they had found it before the river.
Some are from the village, and some are the husband of Aunt Wang, as well as the three long-term workers in the family.
Now, Erzhu's daughter-in-law follows Li's to take care of things up and down the family, especially in the kitchen.
Jiang Xi felt that she had grown a lot of meat these days, but now that she was growing her body, it was good to eat more.
She has grown a lot this year, and she is more than half a head taller than last year.
"Girl, how to dig this pond, do you dig out a big fish pond in front of it, or divide it into several?" Zhang Quan, a long-term worker, asked that no one had ever raised fish in this village, and he didn't know how to get this thing.
Jiangxi looked at the large river beach in front of his house, there is about four or five acres of land, if all of them are dug into a fish pond, then when the fish fry grow up, it will definitely take a lot of effort to salvage, and it is better to have more than one acre of land.
"If you dig into four fish ponds about the same size, dig them up to about one person high, and remember to make them all a little higher and the road a little wider, so don't walk on them and accidentally plant them."
"Okay! Girl, don't worry, the big guy is starting to! ”
Among these helpers, the youngest is Huzi, who came here to help, or his father Zhang Quan begged for it.
Don't look at his young age, he still does things like him, and he doesn't have to be an ordinary person to work badly.
Digging a fish pond is a hard work, and Jiangxi can't help much, so he simply commanded on the side while taking an embroidery handkerchief out to embroider.
After several confrontations with the Li family, Jiangxi still relented, and now he can take the insoles and embroider handkerchiefs by himself. Li said that after waiting for a while, he would teach Jiangxi to learn how to make shoes.
To make shoes is much more troublesome than simple embroidery, first of all, you have to know how to fit the soles, which is a very laborious thing. Especially if you want to make that kind of durable mille-feuille bottom, you can't do it for a girl who doesn't have a little strength.
Out of the sole of the shoe, the most important thing is the upper problem.
To make a pair of shoes that fit, the upper is very important, and to make a pair of good-looking shoes, the embroidery of the upper is even more important. Jiang Xi is still learning embroidery.
Lianzi also followed her obediently, but Lianzi did not embroider handkerchiefs, but watched curiously as she dug a pond, there was no pond in the village, and this was the first time she had seen it.
For Lianzi, there is another thing more important than watching the fish pond be dug up, and that is watching someone below at work.
Jiang Xi had already found out about this, but she didn't say it explicitly.
Lianzi is twelve years old this year, and it will be time to get married in a few years, and it is not a bad thing to have someone she likes.
As soon as noon, Erzhu's daughter-in-law ran out to call someone.
"Big guy, it's time to eat, let's eat first and then make it! It's noon today, enough meat tubes! ”
As soon as these words came out, the people who worked became more energetic, dug a few more hoes, and then put down the tools in their hands and went to Jiangxi's house.
The main dish at noon is braised pork with potatoes, and the side dishes are stir-fried pork with green bamboo shoots, braised fat sausage, cold salad with three shreds, and vegetarian fried anchovies.
The staple food is a mixture of sorghum and white rice, as well as steamed white flour steamed buns.
As soon as the guy who helped came in and saw this dish, all of them had smiles on their faces.
"Your Jiang family's food is always top-notch in this village." These are the words of the people from the village who came to help.
Erzhu, the long-term worker in the family, immediately said: "Our owner's craftsmanship is famous in the town. ”
"Okay, okay, if you can bear it, sit down and eat." Erzhu's daughter-in-law came over and pulled her man, but her face was still proud.
The food in the owner's house is really good, she has learned a lot here, and in the future, she will also give it all to the lotus seeds, so that in the future, when the lotus seeds are married, they can also be a good one for the mother-in-law's family.
After eating, Jiang Xi and Lianzi brought out a big pot of sour plum soup.
When this sour plum soup was first sold, it was said that it could no longer be sold to others, but Jiangxi also said that they wanted to make some for their own drink, and the person agreed.
Now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, I see that it will be May in half a month, and the sour plum soup is the best to serve at this time.
As soon as the refreshing sour plum soup came out, it naturally won another piece of praise.
In the evening, the helpers left, and the chief worker and Erzhu's daughter-in-law were still packing up in the front yard, and Li looked out worriedly.
"Xi'er, you said that your master and they are going, when will they come back, it's been a day, why haven't there been any movement."
The old lady in the family is gone, and there are only four of them left in the whole family, and now that the old man and Yuan Xiu have gone to the neighboring county to buy things, the Li family is really a little worried.
She was afraid that the old man and they would be like her husband Jiang Xiucai, and they would never come back.
Jiang Xi simply came out with a long bench and sat in the backyard with Li.
"Mother, master, they only went out this morning, even to our county, it will take more than half a day, let alone to the neighboring county. I guess they've only just arrived at this time, and they'll be back tomorrow night, or noon the day after tomorrow. ”
Li is still a little worried, there are a few people in the family, and he always feels lonely.
"Mother, don't worry, they will be able to come back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, don't come back then, you are in a hurry, they will have to come to take care of you at that time."
Moreover, you see that the moon is so full tonight, it must be hoping that we can be with the master and them. ”
Being persuaded by Jiang Xi, Li's mentality improved, and he reached out and tapped the tip of her nose.
"You kid, you talk in a screpe, I don't know what kind of mother you are Gongchanjuan, but the moon is so big, even if you are in a hurry at night, there shouldn't be any problems.
Let's go, let's go back to wash up and rest, we have a lot of things to do tomorrow. ”
"Hmm."
The mother and daughter entered the house.
At this time, in an inn in a neighboring county, the old man and Yuan Xiu had just eaten and rested.
"I don't know what's going on at home, but fortunately, I have said things today, and we will go back early tomorrow morning." The old man stood in front of the wooden window, looking at the full moon outside, and the hard work was worth it.
"Grandpa Jiang, rest early."
Yuan Xiu made the bed and said to the old man.
The old man nodded, tonight is to rest early, and he can go back quickly tomorrow.
Sure enough, as Jiangxi expected, in the evening of the next day, the old man and Yuan Xiu returned, and they also brought back two merchants who were selling crab seedlings.
Jiang Xi asked slightly, and knew that there were about 1,000 crab seedlings, which could be thrown into her ponds.
The price of crab seedlings is two percent cheaper than the market price, which is the price that Jiangxi talked about.
The two merchants were not happy at first, but thinking of what Jiang Xi said, if she didn't buy these, the crab seedlings would probably have to be shipped back the same way. You know, once it is transported back by the same route, it is possible to lose eighty percent.
The two businessmen thought about it, and they could only pinch their noses and sell it.
Of course, it would be okay if Jiang Xi wanted to press down any longer, but she didn't do it.
Now that the family has the income of the shop in the county, there is no shortage of these money, if the price is really too powerful, these two businessmen will run in vain.
Who is easy to eat on the rivers and lakes, sleeping in the open for more than half a month, and finally not making any money, what do the elderly and children at home depend on.
Jiangxi did this, the old man and the Li family agreed very much, and they were not the kind of people who oppressed people.
The two merchants knew this, and they were also grateful to her, saying that they would come to transport crab seedlings to them next year, at the current price.
Jiang Xi smiled and said: "Don't wait for next year, we have four ponds at home, now two crabs are used, and the remaining two, I want to raise some more fish and shrimp, you can see if you can go over and help us transport some back, everything is according to the market price."
By the way, if you can, see if you can move a little more lotus root, of course, if you are embarrassed, you can have no lotus root, but there can be no less fish and shrimp. ”
When the two businessmen heard it, fish fry and shrimp fry, these are two big businesses, or according to the market price here, then they make a lot of money.
"Okay! Since you said so, Miss Jiang, even if the lotus root is unlucky, I'll get you a few plants! ”
Before leaving, Jiangxi deliberately stopped them, saying that she wanted to bring some shrimp skin and clams, and she was of great use, so she still gave money according to the market price.
Where the two-legged merchants are unwilling, they should immediately respond.
As soon as they left, Li asked, "Xi'er, what do you want those shrimp skins and clams to do, aren't we going to raise our own fish soon?" ”
Jiang Xi blinked his eyes and smiled at the Li family: "Mother, when the things come back, you will know." ”
Those shrimp skins and clams are good things, Jiang Xi thought, there is no chicken essence and monosodium glutamate in this era, when cooking and making soup, use them to adjust a little flavor, and the taste of that dish will be several times more delicious.
When the things come back, the Lee family will understand the magic of these things.
Now that the pond has been dug and the crab fry have been bought, you only need to put water in it, and then get some aquatic plants from the river in front of you into it, and you can put in the crab fry and fish food, and wait for the crabs to eat in autumn.
At the thought of the delicious crab roe, Jiang Xi almost couldn't help but drool.
"Girl, the water is being released in front, do you want to go over and see it?" Renzi rushed in, always full of enthusiasm for these new things.
Jiang Xi put down the things in his hand and hurriedly greeted him.
"Yes, let's go, let's go and have a look!"
