Chapter 112: Dig a pond and plant lotus root and raise fish
Title:
It's not bad if Chrysanthemum wants to dig a pond and come out, she can also raise some things well, so she nodded happily: "Then Dad, you have to remember!" βγ
Aoki smiled: "Dad doesn't remember, I do." Dig a bigger one, turn it into a small pond, raise some lotus root and water chestnut, and put some fish, you can always get more harvest. When you are working, you can see a pond of lotus leaves in the pond at a glance, and then some lotus flowers, isn't it beautiful? Even water is convenient. It's really going to be dry, and this large piece of land, I'm afraid it won't be able to rely on this ditch. β
As he was talking, he saw Zhang Dazhuan and Zhang Huai coming over with a hoe, and He was holding two strings of crucian carp with wicker sticks through the gills, the silver blackened scales were shining in the sun, and they kept cocking their tails and flicking, very fresh.
Zheng Changhe and Yang hurriedly beckoned them to come over and sit down, and asked them why they had gone home so early.
Zhang Dazhuan walked to the bottom of the locust tree and said, "There is little land." My mother and I hoeed all the grass in the field in a few days, and we wanted to hoe grass on a few more acres of land, but we didn't. Unlike you, who bought some land in the old year, this year is busier than usual. I thought that in the future, I would also buy some acres and two acres, and slowly save some of them, and I couldn't become a big fat man in one bite. β
He didn't sit down when he stood there, took off his straw hat and kept fanning the wind, talking to Zheng Changhe.
Zheng Changhe comforted him and said, "What's the hurry? If your pig is competitive this year, won't you be able to buy several acres of land? With land, next year there will be more potato, and the pigs will be fed with two more, and next year they will be able to buy a few more acres of land. Isn't it fast to save like this? β
Hearing this, Zhang Dazhuan laughed and said: "I feel comfortable when I hear what you say, and I feel full of energy." Okay, let's not delay your work. Huaizi, anyway, the work in our field is done, so you can help Uncle Zheng work for half a day. I'll go back with your mother first. As he spoke, he buttoned his straw hat to his head, picked up his hoe and left.
Zhang Huai was talking to Aoki and Chrysanthemum, and nodded after listening to his words.
Yang smiled: "Then what's the matter?" Even if the work in the field is finished, won't the work in the field also come up? Isn't it okay for locust seeds to push seedlings? β
After planting the seedlings, the grass must grow in the seedling field, and you can't hoe the grass, you can only use a narrow seedling rake to push back and forth between the seedlings, and scrape the grass up to the roots, and it floats to the water.
He smiled: "I have to wait a few days." I don't think the seedlings have grown solid yet, and now I'm afraid that the seedlings will be brought down. β
The Yang family no longer shirked, the two families often help each other do things, which is nothing.
He Shi divided a bunch of fish in his hand and handed it to Chrysanthemum, and said with a smile: "This is when the water was released from Mirror Lake, Huaizi caught it in that ditch." Two grass carp also slipped out of the mile, and asked Huaizi to catch them and put them back. This crucian carp will be kept for the tooth sacrifice. β
Seeing that Chrysanthemum's heart moved, she hurriedly took it, thanked her again, and said that she would put the fish in the ditch to raise. She really wanted Zheng Changhe to dig this ditch into a pond immediately, so that she could raise fish and lotus roots.
Zhang Huai heard this and hurriedly said, if you don't hurry up and release it, the fish will die. Saying that, he and Aoki went with Chrysanthemum to release fish.
As a result, the fish was out of the water for a while, and its gills were pierced again, and only two of the larger ones were still alive and bouncing, and they withstood the punishment, and the smaller ones were gone, so they let the two big ones go.
Zhang Huai saw that the ditch was very deep and wideβhalf a zhang wide, but it was only a ditch in the end, so he asked Aoki, "Do you want to raise fish?" Then why don't you dig this ditch into a pond? Anyway, the land next to here is also yours. β
Aoki smiled, "Don't you just want to dig a pond, I was talking about this just now." When you are free, you will also come to help dig it, and when the time comes, you will plant lotus root and give it to you to eat. Fish must also be raised. β
Under the sun, a fine layer of sweat appeared on the tip of Zhang Huai's nose, and his wheat-colored face was also hot and flushed, and he saw that the chrysanthemum also looked at the ditch expectantly, and smiled: "I'll dig it when I'm free." It's also very fast to dig up. β
Chrysanthemum said regretfully: "After all, this year is not enough, and there will be no time to dig until autumn, and you will be able to plant lotus root and fish next year." I didn't think about it earlier, otherwise I dug it up directly when I opened up the wasteland, and I am afraid that the lotus leaves will grow at this time. β
Aoki laughed, "I was just thinking about digging a wider way to get water, but I didn't think of digging a pond." If you remember, how many people came at that time? It's not a pleasure to dig up. β
Zhang Huai thought for a while and said: "Since you want to plant lotus roots, this pond can't be dug too deep, otherwise it will be troublesome when you pick lotus roots in autumn." If we don't dig too deep, we can dig up a look today, and you and Uncle Zheng will dig some more sooner or later, and two days will be enough. β
Aoki thought about it, and that would be done.
Chrysanthemum was also very happy when she heard this, and hurriedly encouraged: "Then dig it." I planted some soybeans here, so I just moved them over there. Dig a pond and plant one less piece of land, saving you from being tired and panicking. β
Aoki and Zhang Huai couldn't help but laugh when they saw her getting excited.
Aoki said to her, "Go tell your father, see if he agrees." β
Chrysanthemum thought that her father had always been obedient to herself, so she said with confidence: "Dad will definitely agree, it doesn't matter if you hoe grass for a day." β
Zhang Huai saw that she liked it, so he said to her: "Dig it, I'll help you find some lotus root seeds." At the moment, the lotus root has just sprouted, and it is still too late. β
Chrysanthemum was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly asked him to get some.
Aoki asked in surprise, "Although people don't grow this thing seriously, they can't let you go down to the pond to dig lotus roots." Where do you find it? β
Zhang Huai said with a smile: "Naturally, I went to the house where I went down to dig in the pond to find it - my uncle's family has a prodigal son, and he also sent you lotus root to eat, have you forgotten?" But that prodigal son is small, I'm afraid I can't dig a few lotus roots, so I can't help but leave seeds for him. β
Aoki nodded and remembered.
Chrysanthemum went to tell Zheng Changhe about digging the fish pond, and he really had no opinion, but Yang felt that he didn't do anything serious, what kind of fish pond to dig for.
Chrysanthemum said to her: "Mother, you don't plant this land to collect more things. But if this land is dug into a pond, I promise you won't lose anything. Not to mention the side, the lotus root, the fish, and the loach must add up to more money than soybeans. If you don't believe it, let's make a bet. β
Seeing her so insistent, Yang couldn't help but smile and said, "You baby, who wants to bet with you?" That's what I'm saying, and it's not that I won't be allowed to dig. You like this so much, just dig it out and let you raise it. Well, I think it can be raised well. β
Chrysanthemum smiled: "Of course you can raise it well." Just look. β
So they all took action, and Yang and Chrysanthemum went home to fetch bamboo baskets and other guys, so that they could pick up the soil.
Seeing Zhang Huai's bare head and sweating on his face, Chrysanthemum hurriedly said to him: "Brother Huaizi, I helped you get a straw hat." You wear it, or you get a headache. β
Zhang Huai listened to the sweetness in his heart, took it with a smile, put it on, thought about it and said to her: "Don't stir-fry vegetables at noon, it's too troublesome, just cook a pot of pickles, it's trouble-free and fast." It's hot to cook that day. β
Chrysanthemum smiled and said, "That's not what I think. Cook a pot of pickled vegetables with meat, which saves time. I'm going to plant this soybean over there with my mother. β
Zhang Huai looked at the sun, although he also wanted her to stay here and talk to him, but he felt that she had never worked in the fields, and he was afraid that it would be uncomfortable to be exposed to the sun, so he said to her: "This soybean is shoveled with soil, and your brother and I will get it right soon." You'd better go back quickly, it's still a little uncomfortable in the sun. Why don't you sit under that tree and we'll get it." β
Aoki walked over and said, "That's it! You're still making trouble here, and you can't help much, and you're dizzy and sinful again. Why don't you sit under the tree and watch us dig. β
Chrysanthemum heard that neither of them let herself work, although she was also moved, she still said: "Then I'll just watch here, help you deliver things, send water or something." It's time to go home in a moment. β
Aoki took off a coat and handed it to her, "That's pretty much it." Take this to the bottom of the tree. Digging requires effort, and wearing one piece is enough. β
Zhang Huai nodded, took off one of them, handed it to Chrysanthemum, and looked at her running from the ground, with an unusually happy look, it can be seen that she really wants to dig this fish pond, and he finally helped her do something satisfactory.
While digging, Zheng Changhe said to Aoki and Zhang Huai: "When the digging is done, the water is brought over, and I will go to Xiaoqing River to net some fish and put them in." Lay the net in the morning and evening, save slowly, and by the end of the year, this pond can also raise some fish. Hehe, that's our own. β
Zhang Huai said calmly: "I don't think it's good for the fish in our village to be harvested by the sky." Water chestnut vegetables only grow for a few months, and some fish ponds don't even have water chestnut vegetables. If you cut some grass and put it in the fish pond regularly, the fish will definitely grow a lot by the time the fish pond is started at the end of the year. Isn't this more proper than being harvested by heaven? It doesn't take much effort. β
Chrysanthemum happened to come over, and when she heard this, she felt that he could think of this, and his brain was flexible, so he couldn't help but smile and praise: "Brother Huaizi has a good idea." Go and tell the village chief that if the fish is fed diligently, the fish pond will be able to produce a lot more fish than in the old year. β
Zhang Huai saw that Chrysanthemum also agreed, his cheeks turned red with joy, and he looked at Chrysanthemum and asked expectantly, "This idea is really good?" Shall I tell the village chief? β
Chrysanthemum said affirmatively: "Of course it's good." The chickens and ducks have to be fed before they are willing to lay eggs; If this fish is fed, won't it grow faster? In previous years, they grew on their own, but naturally they grew more slowly. β
Zhang Huai looked at each other and smiled.
Aoki couldn't help but be a little amused when he saw that this kid was blushing and his eyes were shiningβChrysanthemum praised him so happy?
Zheng Changhe: "If you think of an idea, you have to tell the village chief." As long as it is really good to the village, the village chief will definitely listen, he is more knowledgeable than us. β
Chrysanthemum immediately said, "Not really." The people in our village are diligent, if you use your brains more, you may be able to achieve better results than in previous years. It is not enough to plant just a few acres of land. β
