Chapter 9 Catching Fish and Harvesting Harvest

After listening to this, Wang Manyin had to sigh that the wisdom of the working people is infinite.

To tell you the truth, he really didn't know how leaven was made. In later generations, steamed steamed buns were directly made with yeast powder, which was simple and trouble-free.

Unexpectedly, the production method of old yeast is surprisingly simple.

Leave a ball of noodles when making wowotou, according to the method of making buns, wrap some raw flour in the dough, put it in a cool place and let it slowly expand and dry, this is the old fermented head.

The next time you steam the nest, break the dough and soak it in warm water, then add flour to make a noodle soup, let it ferment for about a day, and then pour it into the cornmeal to make a nest.

If you do too much old leaven, as long as you put it in a dry place, it will not be bad for half a year.

Wang Qiusheng was still in a hurry to earn work, chatted a few words, and hurried home for dinner.

Sending Wang Qiusheng away, Wang Manyin filled a bowl of noodle soup, took a pancake and squatted at the mouth of the cave to eat. Of course, he didn't forget the rhubarb, threw a pancake as usual, and poured half a bowl of noodle soup.

Erhe noodles are mixed with more than half of corn grits, which is hard to eat, very fragrant to chew, and hungry.

After eating, Wang Manyin buried a sweet potato under the stove as usual.

Then the dough begins...... With the memory of his predecessor, he did these things very smoothly.

The reason why Wang Manyin is called a second-rate son is mainly because he is too lazy. But as a rural person, I still know how to cook and do farm work, otherwise I would have starved to death.

Now that the outside temperature is relatively low, Wang Manyin put the noodles into the space. The temperature inside is high, so it should be easier to ferment.

For the next few days, he spent most of his time busy in space.

Since it was decided to raise fish on a large scale, the ponds are currently somewhat insufficient. However, he did not plan to expand on the original basis, but to dig a new one at the other end of the loess.

The two ponds are dumbbell-shaped and connected by a ditch in the middle, which is convenient for irrigating the surrounding loess in the later stage.

In addition, Wang Manyin is also preparing to dig two cross-shaped ditches to run through all three acres of land.

However, this is a big project and will take at least half a year to complete.

In addition, Wang Manyin collected a lot of grass seeds from the outside world, and dug up a lot of wattle roots, alfalfa roots, etc., and planted them on both sides of the ditch.

As far as the eye can see, the space is filled with greenery, interspersed with wildflowers. and the gray loess plateau outside presents two completely different worlds.

With so many weeds, it is enough to feed fifty more native chickens. During this period, Wang Manyin took advantage of the fair and went to the pigeon market of Shibi Festival Commune again.

Bad luck this time and only got one hen.

It seems that if you want to buy more local chickens in a short time, you can only walk a long way to Mijia Town.

What made Wang Manyin even more pleased was that the growth rate of the fish fry in the pond was gratifying, almost the same every day, and the first few carps were almost three or two.

Looking at the momentum, it is estimated that it will take up to two months to get it on the black market for sale.

In addition, Wang Manyin's recent fishing operations have not stopped.

Last time, the cliffside was far away from the dirt road, and the location was relatively secluded, and there were hardly any people who went there.

After he got off the crockpot, he didn't have to pay attention to it, just collect it once every other day.

On the first day, two crockpots and three fish,

Wait for the next day, there is only one......

However, it was the Air Force for several days in a row, and Wang Manyin had no choice but to give up. It can only be said that there are indeed very few fish in the Dongla River, and that water area has basically been caught.

It just so happened that he was going to go to the pigeon market in Mijia Town to buy local chickens, and he was going to take advantage of the situation to go further down the Dongla River to find a trip.

It's already not far from the Wuding River, and you're sure to find more fry.

Mijia Town is almost forty miles away from Jar Village, and it is eighty miles back and forth, which is too much time in a day.

Therefore, Wang Manyin planned to stay in Mijia Town for a day and return the next day.

As for the sleeping place...... There are a few acres of land in the space, as long as the quilt is put on, it is enough for him to sleep.

Wang Manyin originally planned to keep Rhubarb at home, but this guy followed him to death, saying that he couldn't go back.

I had no choice but to take it with me.

Anyway, the valuable things in the house are all placed in the space, and there is nothing in the cave, and I am not afraid of being remembered by thieves.

Due to the abundant time, Wang Manyin was not in a hurry. Instead, take the rhubarb slowly, and it should be a tour of the mountains and scenery. Having said that, this season, there is really nothing to see in the rotten Loess Plateau.

In addition to the gray and abrupt mountains, they are still mountains.

By noon, he had walked more than 20 miles along the Dongla River.

Now the sun is shining overhead, and the temperature on the mountain is also rising.

Wang Manyin didn't waste time, found a puddle with aquatic weeds, and began to put the fishing tank. In order to catch more fry, he specially prepared ten crockpots, and dug up the earthworm bait last night.

After the clay pot was put away, it was still early, Wang Manyin simply put on gloves, took a sickle to cut firewood on the cliffside, and prepared to make lunch.

Because of its proximity to the water source, this cliff was overgrown with artemisia grass, wattles, and sour jujube branches, and in about half an hour, Wang Manyin cut a large bundle.

Originally, I planned to stop, but then I thought that there was not much firewood at home, so I simply continued to be busy.

By the time he rested for lunch, there were already three more bundles of firewood in the space, enough for him to use for a week.

This time out, Wang Manyin also moved the iron pot into the space. Some time ago, I also made a loess stove with mud mixed with thatch, which is naturally much more convenient for cooking.

A pot of egg soup with green vegetables and two steamed buns.

After arranging the rhubarb as usual, Wang Manyin took the bowl and dried it himself.

After a short break after the meal, he began to collect the fishing tanks.

This time it was left for too long, and the first clay pot gave Wang Manyin a big surprise.

There are more than 10 fish fry in large and small sizes, in addition to common fish such as wheat ears and crucian carp, there are also two yellow catfish that are accidentally harvested.

This thing is also called yellow spicy dice, yellow bone fish, wild size is generally not big, at most ten centimeters long.

However, its meat is delicate and delicious. And there is a spinal spine from beginning to end, which is particularly convenient to handle, and can be fried, fried, and stewed.

The only thing to be careful about is that the hard spines on the dorsal fin of the chest and back of the yellow catfish are poisonous, and the stinging is particularly painful.

After packing up the first crockpot, Wang Manyin went to the next place to get busy......

When all the ten fishing tanks were recovered, there were hundreds of fish fry in the space pond.

The first battle was won, and Wang Manyin took the rhubarb to continue to look downstream.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he chose the water area where the crockpots should be housed, and he also stayed away from the surrounding villages.

It may be that the weather will turn cold in the afternoon, and this time there are not many fish fry, only more than 60.

Even so, Wang Manyin was satisfied.

By the time the crockpot was lowered into the puddle for the third time, the sun was already setting, and the wind was very the cliffside.

With Wang Manyin's body, he was also shivering from the cold.

He simply reached out and touched the head of the earth dog, and patted it first to show comfort.

After these days of contact, Rhubarb completely lost his guard against him, did not resist, and responded in a low voice.

Immediately, a man and a dog entered the space.

......Seeing the sudden change in the foreground, the rhubarb immediately exploded and let out a panicked cry.

With this guy's IQ, it is clear that he will not understand what the hell is going on.

After a moment, it realized that there was no danger here, and it became bold again, and raised its leg to pee nearby, leaving a mark.

Then, this guy completely spread his joy and ran wildly on the yellow earth.

was busy non-stop for a whole day, and finally relaxed in the evening, Wang Manyin naturally wanted to treat him well.

It happened that the four hens laid two new eggs, which were fried in the evening.

It is said that Wang Manyin has raised local chickens for more than ten days, and so far, not a single egg has been saved, and all of them have been eaten in his stomach.

In addition, fry another fish to make fish soup...... The first few crucian carp fry, the largest of which had grown to the size of a palm, barely enough to eat.
