Lu Miao's lips pursed, the corners of her lips drooped down slightly, a little deflated, and the heat that had just been swept away by the breeze also shrouded her heart again, and the whole person was very bored and hot.

Lu Miao snorted and tugged at the wild wormwood on the side of the road, and kicked and kicked the lumps on the path under her feet, which was already a precursor to unhappiness.

Fu Jingyou turned around and saw that although her little face was tense, her eyes were staring very seriously at the lake on one side, so he guessed what she was looking for:

"I usually go out early, there are ditches and lakes everywhere, and if you really want to catch it, it's actually very easy."

"You know what I'm looking for?"

Fu Jingyou was confused, "It's not Wang...... Not looking for soft-shelled turtles? ”

"I'm looking for soft-shelled turtles!" Lu Miao shook her head and nodded, glanced around and said, "But you mean that soft-shelled turtles are everywhere, why haven't I seen any of them?" ”

Fu Jingyou's stiff chin lifted towards the big black bull in front, "It's not like there's a cow walking ahead." ”

And it's not early at this time, the dew is almost dry, even if there are no cows walking in front of the grass to alarm the grass, the temperature is up, and those Wang Ba, who climbed ashore at night to breathe, almost all got back into the water and hid under the aquatic weeds to shade and cool.

Catching Wang Ba is really a very small matter, Fu Jingyou didn't want Lu Miao to bother with this matter again, so he softened his voice and coaxed:

"Okay, let's go, I've got all the soft-shelled turtles."

"Got it right? How was it caught? Lu Miao was looking back, trotting behind him, "Didn't you just come back?" How come I don't know when I was caught? ”

"This morning."

"This morning?"

"Hmm."

Lu Miao remembered and said, "No wonder when we met at that time, I saw that your trouser legs were wet!" ”

Fu Jingyou teased and smiled, not caring at all, "There is something else besides the soft-shelled turtle, I'm not sure if I can eat it, you can talk about it when you see it." ”

Lu Miao nodded, but she was still curious and asked, "What's there?" ”

"Sea ......"

In the local dialect, "Haizi" refers to crabs, and for fear that Lu Miao would not understand, Fu Jingyou paused for a moment and said:

"There are a few crabs, and there are loach eels, and there are a few yellow girls, large and small."

Crab Lu Miao saw it in the lake just now, but they were all very small, at most not much bigger than a thumb.

In her heart, this crab must not be eaten.

As for the loach yellow eel, as long as it is not too small, it can be used to cook a plate of decent dishes.

Besides, that yellow girl, Lu Miao was really frightened, and after thinking about it for a long time, she didn't understand what this yellow girl was.

Ask Fu Jingyou, Fu Jingyou only said that it was a fish, and there were small spines on both sides of the fish's head, and he couldn't say anything else.

Lu Miao didn't have a clue, and when her curiosity was raised, she could only suppress it, what it was, she had to go back at noon to see it.

While talking, the two walked along the trail for a while, and the lotus leaves by the lake did not grow as much as in the center of the lake, but it was not nothing.

Catching up with the place near the shore, there were two tender lotus pods, and Fu Jingyou reached out and picked one.

The other was a little far away, he leaned over and hooked it with a sickle, took it off and handed it to Lu Miao together, and did not forget to instruct:

"Be careful, there's a little thorn on the rod."

Lu Miao's chick pecked the rice and nodded, and took it excitedly: "Thank you!" ”

There was still a hint of dew and moisture on the surface of the lotus pod, Lu Miao peeled one off, the lotus seeds were rice white, and the lotus heart was emerald green, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed and tasted it.

Perhaps because the lotus pod is still tender, I did not taste the bitterness of the lotus seeds, but the sweetness overflowed the mouth.

Lu Miao's eyes were shining, like a greedy and delicious child who found his favorite snack, and hurriedly peeled another one and stuffed it into his mouth.

Looking at her impatient appearance, Fu Jingyou knew that this lotus pod was picked correctly.

"There are few lotus canopies in the deep water here, and there are many wetlands where you work, and the lotus leaves and lotus flowers there are like growing in paddy fields, and you can pick as many as you want."

Fu Jingyou carried a sickle, and said that there were many wetlands where he worked, and there were rice trees along the road, Lu Miao was originally puzzled about what he was responsible for today, but when he heard this, he gradually understood.

"You're in charge of cutting rice today?"

Although the rice in the rice field on one side has been tasseled, it is still green, and it is obviously not time to cut it.

Lu Miao asked curiously: "Won't it be too early to cut at this time?" ”

"No, it won't. This piece of millet will have to wait two more days to be harvested, and today we will cut the early season rice, which is a little earlier than the other millet to ripen. ”

Fu Jingyou shook his head, he didn't talk much before, and he had close contact with Lu Miao, and he gradually became familiar with each other before saying a word or two.

Seeing that Lu Miao was curious, he patiently explained a few words:

"The quality of the early season rice and the appearance of molting are not as good as the middle rice and the late rice, and the team does not plant much, and they are not ready to use this as task grain to hand in, and they are all kept for the team at the end of the year. The members' families have been suffering for a year and a half, and whoever wants to try it will use the labor and money to go back and try it. ”

Lu Miao nodded, and asked again: "The brown rice I changed in the team, is this also the case?" ”

Fu Jingyou bowed his head, and Lu Miao understood what it meant.

The outer case of the brown rice has not completely faded clean, and the texture is a little dry in addition to a certain degree of hardness.

Fu Jingyou is used to eating coarse grains, and when they ate together before, he ate brown rice and ate it fragrantly, but for Lu Miao, after saying a little bit, she sometimes felt like chewing dregs when she ate brown rice.

It is especially obvious when the educated youth point is steamed.

As Fu Jingyou said, the quality and condition of early-season rice are not as good as that of middle rice and late rice.

All kinds of negative buffs have accumulated, and for Lu Miao, who used to eat fragrant rice and polished rice, it is really not good to blame her for being picky.

"So where can I buy better rice? The kind where the chaff is clean? ”

"The grain, oil and food station in the town, the rice grain needs a ticket."

The rice sold at the food station is taken out by a special hulking utensil, and the rice that is taken out by hand in the township is still a big gap compared to that.

Fu Jingyou pondered for a while, and then added, "However, the limit is limited, and it is not easy to buy grain and oil." ”

Lu Miao's eyebrows bulged, her mouth pursed, and she was a little dissatisfied with this reply:

"Then there is no other channel?"

Other channels? Of course.

Fu Jingyou wanted to say something, but he paused again when he thought of something.

After a short period of thought, he changed the topic and asked Lu Miao:

"There should be, what, you want?"

"Hmm!"

Lu Miao nodded obediently, Fu Jingyou looked at her, and just wanted to say that the brown rice in the team was also the best fine grain, but before the words could be spoken, she heard her muttering like bitter water:

"I don't like the brown rice that the team exchanged, I want the kind that is glutinous and glutinous...... Can you buy it? I don't care how many tickets you want! ”
