Chapter Twenty-Three: Raising Ducks in the Rice Fields

For the sake of the ducks, it is rare, this time Bai Yitian and his party did not live here for a few days, and after having lunch that day, they should not go back.

Zhou Bo scolded Xue Jian during his lunch break, "Messing around all day!" ”

Xue saw that he was unimpressed, and said, "Nonsense? Why don't you say that Bai Dashao always bullied me, and now he bullies me even without saying a word, I have a hard life. ”

Zhou Bo was surprised: "Bullying you? You say they don't bully you, who are they bullying? Who is not picking up stupid bullies! ”

"Zhou Bo!" Seeing that Xue was angry, she saw Zhou Bo's eyes widen, and immediately weakened: "Young Master Zhou Bo, Young Master Zhou, Young Master Zhou, Big Young Master, Big Lang!" ”

"Tell me, what's your idea?" Seeing Xue Jian pulling his arm and being coquettish, Zhou Bo couldn't help crying and laughing.

Yukimi tilted his head and said, "I'm going to say something wrong, you can't scold me, Dalang." ”

Every time I heard her call Da Lang so tiredly, I knew that she would have something to ask for, but Zhou Bo couldn't help but soften in his heart, "Okay, if I don't scold you, can I use it?" ”

"I'm not thinking about it, anyway, Bai Da Shao is idle, so it's better to use it for me." Yukimi said slowly.

Zhou Bo frowned when he heard this: "Take it for a while?" What are these words? Zhou Bo showed a clear displeased look.

---- knew that this Zhou Bo was very difficult to please, anyway, he was not happy about anything, Xue saw that he stuck out his tongue.

She sighed and said, "You know, that's not what Yukimi meant." ”

"Call you stupid, you still don't admit it!" Zhou Bo hated that iron could not become steel and said: "The meaning of the expression is not clear." ”

Yukimi smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, Yukimi is stupid." ”

"It's not that you don't think you're stupid." Zhou Bodao: "Look, it's not your life that is hard, it's your father's life that is hard." ”

"Big, Lang," Yukimi said angrily, "Even if Yukimi is not stupid, you are bullied stupidly, you should usually be ......"

Zhou Bo didn't bother to listen at all, and privately interrupted: "Since you are already like this, you can bear it, I don't expect you to grow." ”

"How can I say it, do you still have to be grateful to the eldest young master?" Xue Jian had a headache and said: "I miss me Xue Jian, I was born naturally and well, and my temperament is also virtuous, what an excellent girl." ”

Zhou Bo's eyelids twitched and said, "Who are you talking about, why does the master sound so strange?" ”

Xue saw lazily pointing at himself and said, "It's me, now I'm the one who is a cow and a horse next to you!" ”

Zhou Bo looked at Xue Jian silently for a long time, and then said, "Ye just loves you too much, so I am used to you talking nonsense." ”

His words were interrupted by Yukimi, who said: "If Dalang really hurts me, then I will talk nonsense about Dalang and hurt me as much, and if Dalang doesn't hurt me, I think Dalang won't listen to nonsense." So, who told Da Lang to hurt me? ”

Zhou Bo had a headache and said, "Quack! ”

"Daro," Yukimi whispered.

Scratching her nose, Zhou Bo said, "Say, tell me your plans." ”

Xue Jian lay in Zhou Bo's ear and muttered for a long time, Zhou Bo felt her Rulan's breath, his blood slowly boiled, he listened absentmindedly to Xue Jian's incoherent train of thought, but his hand slowly reached into Xue Jian's middle coat.

Yukimi gasped, groaned, stopped and patted his hand and said, "I hate it, people are telling you about business." ”

Zhou Bo sighed and said, "Your most important business now is," Xue saw that he looked at him seriously with round eyes, and he couldn't help but smile: "Your business is to grow up quickly." With the movement of his hand, how could Yukimi not understand his hints?

Without waiting for Xue Jiantong to blush, Zhou Bo had turned over on his side and kissed Xue Jian's fragrant red lips, Xue Jian struggled slightly, Zhou Bo gasped and moaned: "My leg is ......" Xue Jian didn't dare to move again, and he deepened and deepened this kiss......

After dinner, he called Zhou Mancang and Dahu Du Hai into the study.

Zhou Bo synthesized Xue Jian's thoughts and slowly told everyone about them, there has never been such a precedent, so everyone didn't understand it at first.

Zhou Bo didn't say much, let everyone digest this suggestion slowly, in fact, he himself thought about it for an afternoon, and the more he thought about it, the more he liked it, and then he understood a little.

Understand and understand, but the specific operation still needs to ask the real Tian family veteran.

Everyone was at a loss, what kind of benefit, Zhou Bo didn't say, this benefit needs to be carefully tasted before it can come out.

This is a matter of crop man, no matter how utopian Zhou Bo is, it is not as good as everyone thinking about reality together. So Zhou Bo picked up the tea and tasted it silently.

Speaking of Zhou Mancang, he is a good hand at growing grain, although Du Hai does not understand farming, but he followed Master Zhou to do business in the north and south when he was a teenager, and he still has some knowledge.

Xue saw that after quietly serving tea to everyone, he quietly stood behind Zhou Bo. The corners of Zhou Bo's mouth rose, this girl, someone is still quite presentable.

Or Du Haixian hesitated to ask: "Regardless of the feasibility of raising ducks in this rice field, what the villain wants to ask is, young master, raising ducks in this field, if you don't take back your duck house at night, what if you run away?" ”

Dahu said: "This is easy to say, our family is borrowing nets for winter fishing, and now we buy a few more sheets, anyway, our family has ten acres of land, and the sides are all fenced with nets, and it doesn't cost much silver." ”

"Uncle Hai asked well, and Dahu answered better!" Zhou Bo said approvingly: "Look, just now I said that I called the big tiger to discuss agricultural matters, and you still don't agree with it, but now you know that the big tiger is careful and lively." ”

Dahu scratched his head embarrassedly: "Is this method really feasible?" Seeing that everyone nodded yes, he said again: "It's just, what if the duck eats the rice seedlings?" ”

Seeing that the big tiger asked the key to the problem, Xue Jian, who was waiting for tea next to him, received Zhou Bo's encouraging eyes, and replied with great interest: "This is easy, before the ducks go to the field, try to sprinkle the millet into the shallow water, let the ducks peck, let them form a conditioned reflex---- well---- that is, form a habit, and then put them into the rice field, they will take the initiative to find the millet on the ground." ”

Zhou Mancang, who had been silent for a long time, saw that everyone was looking at him, and the old man groaned for a moment and smiled toothily and said, "I really haven't heard of anyone using this method before." ”

Xue Jian said in her heart that duck farming in rice fields had just existed in China in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, and later developed into rice fields to raise fish, crabs, shrimps, and loaches.

Croppers like the best when they hear good farming methods. "The more the old slave thinks about this method, the more he thinks it's a good thing," the old man looked at Zhou Bo with bright eyes, "The eldest young master is a capable person, can come up with this wonderful good method, according to the old slave, the benefits of raising ducks in this rice field are really a lot, ducks can get rid of insects, this is known to everyone, ducks can also weed, this is only known when the old slave was young to help people put ducks, the most important thing is that ducks are fattened, this year's rice production of our family is definitely more than that of others!" ”

The people in this family, up to Zhou Bo and down to Xuejian, although they don't understand farming, they are naturally happy to know that this method can increase the yield per mu.

Du Hai calculated in his heart, and also smiled: "I don't know much about farming, but the villain thinks, the cost of raising ducks must be saved, and I usually go to the river to collect some small fish and shrimp that others don't want and put them into the rice field. ”

Zhou Bo nodded and continued: "There is also this duck egg, which can be eaten and sold!" ”

"The eldest young master is so right!" Big Tiger said.

"What the eldest young master said, when did you miss it?" Yukimi pursed her lips and interjected with a smile.

Others just nodded, but Zhou Bo secretly glared at her, and joked with everyone: "The eldest young master only thinks, and it depends on everyone to actually do it." ”

"The eldest young master is too polite." How did Du Hai and the others know that this was Xue Jian playing with Zhou Bo.

Next, everyone you say a word, while imagining a bright future prospects, while the plan of raising ducks in this rice field has been carefully re-planned several times, down to the appearance of the duck house, the time of grazing ducks, have gradually sorted out a clue, of course, experience still has to accumulate in practice, so everyone has to spend more energy than usual to do this well.

In less than half a month, Bai Yitian sent eighty ducks of the size that Xue Jian wanted, and the reason why Xue Jian asked Bai Yitian for ducks was also for two purposes, one is that the silver saved by the family by fishing and selling bear skins in winter is limited after all, of course, one point less is one point, and second, she can be sure that this method is feasible, so she also hopes that in the autumn, she can double it back to Bai Yitian.

Zhou Bo was noncommittal about her thoughts, and Xue Jian said with a smile: "I'm borrowing chickens to lay eggs and borrowing money to make money." ”

Nodding her excited little head, "You! And corrected her: "It's borrowed ducks to lay eggs!" ”

Before the ducks are delivered, the nets on the edge of the rice fields are also supported, and the four corners of each field are also covered with ventilated and delicate duck houses, which is what Yukimi insists on, the more delicate and hygienic the duck house, the lower the chance of the ducks getting sick.

Soon, after a few days of feeding at home, the ducklings are put into the water in batches, and the big ducks will have to wait a few more days before they can be put in batches.

It is the season of spring flowers, the village is in full swing, and the wild flowers on the mountains in the distance decorate Daqing Mountain like a beauty wearing flowers.

On a bath day, he pushed Zhou Bo and took all the young masters and ladies since Wu Niang to play beside the fields full of earthy aroma.

Under the command of Yukimi, Wu Niang and Liulang took Buyan and Buyu to the Daqing River on the edge of the village, picked up some small fish and shrimp that the villagers didn't want when they fished, and stocked them in the rice fields.

At the edge of the rice field, Qi Niang took the lead and took a few children to watch the ducks.

There is little entertainment in the village, when these ducklings were just sent home, Qi Niang took the initiative to receive the task of feeding, the fluffy ducklings, shaking their heads in the yard every day with Qi Niang running around in the warm spring breeze, seeing that people's hearts are warm.

Now the work of releasing ducks into the rice field in batches, how can Qi Niang be missing?

Qi Niang's personality is the most gentle in the Zhou family, with a round face and long eyelashes, bright eyes and bright teeth, in the Zhou family with outstanding appearance, there is a faint posture that surpasses everyone, I heard that among the children in the school, the results are also the most prominent, so everyone has always liked it. Including the villagers and children in the village, there is no one who doesn't like her.

With Qi Niang here, the children in the village also slowly gathered around, and for a while, the sound of laughter and slapstick was endless, and the villagers who passed by did not stop and look at it without a smile.

Xue saw that he was talking nonsense, "Three or two branches of spring on the edge of the field, and the prophet of the plumbing duck in the spring river." Wild vegetables are full of wild grass and short, which is the time when mountain mushrooms are desired. ”

Bai Yitian burst out laughing, "First ducks, then wild vegetables, and finally mountain mushrooms, it turns out that Miss Xuejian not only cooks delicious food, but also makes poems delicious." ”

"Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet." Zhou Bo muttered, "It's really interesting!" ”

Xue saw that his face was red, this sentence was the original, and it made people catch it.
