Chapter 13 Loach Farming
When Luo Tianwang returned home, Luo Baolin smiled and showed him a basin: "Tianwang, look, what is this?"
Luo Tianwang stretched out his head and glanced at the loaches in the basin.
"You caught so many loaches today?" Luo Tianwang blinked in surprise. What kid doesn't like fish?
"I'll let grandma fry you later. Let you eat enough. Luo Baolin said.
"It would be nice if I could keep it, raise a pond, and eat it whenever I want. Luo Tianwang said whimsically.
"This loach is not easy to raise. As soon as the water is over, it will all run out. Luo Baolin shook his head.
"Then let's eat half and raise half, okay?" Luo Tianwang still wanted to raise loaches. The child's interest is coming, and he really doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't give up.
"Tianwang wants to raise it, you let him raise it, go back and tidy up the pool at the head of the house, turn off the water and raise loaches. If you want to eat, don't you know how to catch some again?" Xiao Chunxiu's love for this grandson is now a little better. I'm afraid that he will be wronged a little.
Luo Baolin smiled helplessly: "That's okay." If you want to raise it, then raise it. But grandparents don't know how to raise loaches. ”
"I learned to raise. Luo Tianwang happily took the basin and was about to walk out the door.
"Hey, what are you going to do now?" Luo Baolin hurriedly stopped Luo Tianwang.
"Put the loaches in the pool and raise them. Luo Tianwang looked at Luo Baolin with some puzzlement.
"If you raise it like this now, when it rains, all the loaches will run out. Keep it at home first. Wait for Grandpa to finish the pool and put the loaches in it. Luo Baolin said.
Originally, the loach has a strong vitality, and if you put a little water in the basin, you will not die. But at night, Luo Tianwang, who went to observe the loaches from time to time, found that there were a few loaches that were a little wrong, perhaps injured when they were caught.
Luo Tianwang can regard this loach as the beginning of his career, is it easy for a little kid to finally have a promising career? Luo Tianwang was so anxious that he scratched the back of his head.
"By the way, since that character can heal injuries, it should also be able to heal these loaches. Luo Tianwang said to himself.
A green character condensed, and in a flash it melted into the basin containing the loach.
The loaches in the basin immediately became alive as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and kept turning in the basin. The loaches that looked a little white had completely changed, not at all the same as before.
Luo Tianwang had a smile on his face: It really works!
Xiao Chunxiu watched his grandson stay in front of the basin for an afternoon, took Luo Baolin's hand, and whispered: "You see how attentive he is." Hey, I haven't dozed off this afternoon. ”
"Maybe it's because this loach is so tired that he doesn't doze off. If he likes to raise, let him raise. The big deal is that this pound of loaches is released. It wasn't much of a loss anyway. Luo Baolin said with a smile.
In fact, the loaches in these years are not cheap, they are more expensive than eating meat. Yellow eels, which were thrown on the ground and no one picked them up, were more expensive than loaches. Even if it is in Shuikou Temple Town, the price is not cheap. Wild loaches like this caught in the field may not be available. But for Luo Baolin and Xiao Chunxiu, a healthy grandson will not exchange gold and silver.
Taking advantage of the free evening evening, Luo Baolin took a hoe to trim the pool at the head of the house. The main thing is to raise and strengthen the earthen embankment around the pond to prevent water leakage. Cleaned the pool a little more. Then he went to the canal to bring water. Fill the pool to the brim.
"Now you can put the loaches in. Luo Baolin didn't feel tired at all, as long as he saw the smile on his grandson's face, he was motivated to do anything.
Luo Tianwang happily ran over with the basin, and then poured the loaches in the basin into the pool. Interestingly, after the loaches are poured into the pool, under normal circumstances, the loaches will quickly disperse and find a place to hide as long as they get used to the water a little. These loaches have been together for a long time, as if they are reluctant to part.
Luo Baolin stirred the water with a hoe, and the loaches dispersed. After a while, the loaches were jumping excitedly in the water.
"Hehe, why is this loach so lively?" Luo Baolin scratched his head, a little puzzled. didn't know that Luo Tianwang had used characters to treat loaches.
At night, Luo Tianwang thought about the loach and couldn't sleep. But after tossing and turning in bed for a while, he fell into a deep sleep.
When Luo Tianwang woke up in the morning, Luo Baolin and Xiao Chunxiu had already gone to the field to cut rice. As soon as Luo Tianwang got up, he ran to the small pool. In the morning, the loaches are also very active, and from time to time loaches jump out of the water. Luo Tianwang went back and got a little rice bran and sprinkled it in the pond, and a layer of rice bran floated in the pond, but the loach was not much interested in the rice bran. Luo Tianwang washed his hands in the pond, and the interesting thing was that there were loaches swimming over, constantly swimming beside Luo Tianwang's fingers, and hitting Luo Tianwang's fingers from time to time.
What surprised Luo Tianwang even more was that more and more loaches swam over. scrambling around Luo Tianwang's hand, Luo Tianwang held a few loaches with both hands, these loaches not only did not run, but also enjoyed lying lazily in Luo Tianwang's hands,
"Tianwang, stop playing, come back and help grandma cook on the fire. Xiao Chunxiu shouted in the kitchen.
Luo Tianwang was a little reluctant to put the loach back into the pool.
Luo Tianwang walked for a while, and the loaches that had gathered dispersed separately.
The cooking is a wood-fired stove, in fact, Xiao Chunxiu can do it alone, but Xiao Chunxiu wants Luo Tianwang to do something.
Sitting in front of the stove, Luo Tianwang was stunned for a moment. There are so many red spots here. The red dots of light seem to dance on the flames of the stove, and the bigger the fire, the more active the red dots become. It's just that these red points of light are too active, and a very small number of red points of light burrowed into Luo Tianwang's air pockets, but they quickly ran out again. Luo Tianwang couldn't leave the red light spot in the air pocket at all.
Luo Tianwang glanced at the place where the tortoise shell was placed before, and the tortoise shell was gone!
"Grandma, where did someone put that tortoise shell down?" Luo Tianwang said a little anxiously.
"Isn't it under the cupboard?" Xiao Chunxiu glanced at the bottom of the cupboard, and the tortoise shell was indeed missing, "Maybe your grandfather got it somewhere." ”
Luo Tianwang immediately ran out and found Luo Baolin: "Grandpa, where did you hide that tortoise shell?"
"At home, I put it away, and I'll find it for you when I get home. Look at you in such a hurry. Let's go back to breakfast. Luo Baolin packed up his things and pulled Luo Tianwang to walk home.
