Chapter 24 Fungi open the market
Grandma smiled while leaning on a cane: "These are the fry that your uncle Jin Yu gave me. There are only a few fish, only eighteen. My legs hurt in the past few months. I haven't come to see them for a long time. I don't know how long they survived." Article.”
Li Xiang said: "There must be more than a dozen."
At the same time, I felt happy in my heart that I was back.
In my previous life, when I worked in a big city, my grandma never mentioned her leg pain to me. As for this life, grandma often eats soup stewed with first-order spiritual grass, and her leg pain has disappeared. She is still in good spirits after walking such a long distance today, without even frowning.
People in the village said that as soon as the grandson came back, the pain in his leg stopped, which was really miraculous.
Some people said that it was understandable, as it showed that Li Xiang took good care of his grandma. Since Li Xiang came back, his grandma has never done any heavy work, and most of the time she doesn't even have to cook.
"Grandma, please take a rest on the edge. I'll release the water first and catch the fish before we talk."
Li Xiang put the mobile phone holder on the roadside, adjusted the angle, and turned on the recording mode. Then he picked up the shovel, chose a slightly low-lying location, and dug a small opening in the field. Suddenly, water flowed.
Then, he connected the bamboo basket to the gap.
The water flows through the bamboo baskets and into the ditch next to it, but the fish will be intercepted.
He was carrying this bamboo basket because he originally planned to go up the mountain to collect some mushrooms after seeing the rice fields. Since there were fish, he could also use it to catch fish first.
"Coming, coming!"
After a while, even grandma screamed from the side, and saw a black and translucent rice flower fish, jumping lively, swimming towards the gap along the "turbulent" current.
This fish is very smart. It seems that it saw someone in front of it, or felt danger. It flicked its tail, splashed a big splash of water, turned around and ran away.
However, the current blocked its speed, and it struggled against the current, trying to go back.
"Oh, can I still let you run away with the fish I got?" Li Xiang raised his eyebrows, immediately took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his trouser legs, and quickly got out of the paddy field.
Soon, this plump fish, which was black and translucent and more than thirty centimeters long, was caught by Li Xiang. Since he only brought a bamboo basket, he held it with his hands for the time being.
Li Xiang came ashore and waited for the water to light up.
The other fish were not as smart as the previous fish. No, two of them swam smoothly into the bamboo basket without having to catch them.
When the water in the paddy field was almost dry, there were five rice flower fish in the bamboo basket. Adding the one in Li Xiang's hand, there were six.
Li Xiang threw the smartest fish in his hand into the bamboo basket and placed the bamboo basket in the ditch outside.
"Grandma, help me watch the fish here. Don't let the bamboo basket fall over. I will go to the field to catch fish."
"Okay, be careful and don't fall." Grandma looked at this temporary "fish guard" while Li Xiang went to the field.
When I went there, there were quite a lot of fish in the field. The water was almost dry. Occasionally there were some puddles, and the fish were jumping around in the mud, which was very conspicuous. Li Xiang is a first-level extraordinary person who can strike quickly and accurately. Almost every time he leans down, he can catch a fish, then come back and throw it into a bamboo basket.
This rice field was not big. In less than twenty minutes, Li Xiang inspected the entire field two or three times. In the end, a total of sixteen rice fish were caught. In addition, there was an additional harvest. A big black fish weighing more than 100 kilograms and a dozen small loaches.
Grandma took a breath and asked very strangely: "I didn't put in the black fish fry."
Li Xiang thought for a while and said, "Maybe he jumped in from the creek outside."
This kind of snakehead fish has extremely strong survivability and can survive in a variety of waters, including rivers, lakes and swamps. It can not only swim in the water, but also glide on land, and can even live out of water for 3 days.
Its meat is fresh and tender with few spines, making it suitable for pickled fish and boiled fish fillets. Li Xiang's mouth watered when he thought of the pickled fish he hadn't eaten for a long time.
The sixteen rice flower fish are black carp, also called grass fish and grass flower carp. They are named because they feed on grass flowers that have fallen into the water in the rice fields and the fish meat has the fragrance of grass flowers. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, it was used as a tribute to the royal court. It also has less thorns and more meat, with tender meat, soft bones and no fishy smell, and high protein content. The general weight is 50-250 grams.
These fish are all truly organic fish, because no pesticides are used in Li Xiang's rice fields. What kind of pesticides are used in the family's ration fields, and grandma does not have the physical strength to do this work.
These rice flower fish should also eat insect eggs or fallen insects. This may also be the reason why there are few pests and the growth is so good.
With a lot of harvest, Li Xiang took his grandma to walk on the country road, chatting while walking, and her grandma laughed happily from time to time. Since Li Xiang came back to accompany her, she has laughed more often than in the past few years.
Since the water in the rice fields has just been drained and is still relatively wet, Li Xiang plans to wait until it is almost dry tomorrow before harvesting. He had read the weather forecast and it said it would be sunny for the next few days.
When I got home, I raised the rice flower fish and black fish in the water tank in the middle of the "Dieshui Waterfall". The first water tank is a source of drinking water and cannot be used to raise fish. The height of the last water tank is slightly lower, and Li Xiang is worried that the snakehead fish will jump out and escape.
During this process, a short video was also shot. When he released the fish, grandma was filming on the side with her mobile phone. After the previous short drama "training", grandma has mastered the basic shooting skills and even gave the fish a few A close-up.
As for the loach, let grandma handle it and make loach stewed with tofu for lunch. There are still two pieces of tofu in the refrigerator that I haven't finished yet, so they come in handy.
Grandma went to cook, while Li Xiang went to work in the vegetable patch in the backyard. Water, weed, and observe the growth of the vegetables you sown earlier.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
There was a small patch of chicken feathers on the side that didn't grow. Li Xiang thought about it and replanted some garlic there.
There are also things to pay attention to when growing garlic. The older generation often say that you should plant onions deeply and garlic lightly. It is the right time before and after the cold dew. When planting garlic, press it into the mud. Onions, leeks, and garlic should not meet each other. One inch shallow, two inches two. It is safest to plant garlic in the middle. ... Use dung ash to grow garlic, and your harvest will double.
Li Xiang's vegetable growing secrets were basically inherited from his grandmother. If he didn't have a few brushes, he wouldn't dare to go back to his hometown to farm.
And after coming back, Li Xiang felt much happier than working in a big city, as if he had opened a new chapter in his life.
After he finished working in the field, grandma's meal was ready.
Fragrant loach stewed with tofu, spicy rabbit steak, fried spinach, fried pumpkin, and gourd egg soup.
Although there were only two of them, Li Xiang had a big appetite, so grandma specially prepared four dishes and one soup, all served in large bowls, just to avoid not having enough for her sweet grandson.
After dinner, Li Xiang sat in the pavilion in the backyard where the WiFi signal was very strong. He drank a pot of wild tea and started editing the morning video of rice flower fish. He did not over-process it, focusing on the truth, and then posted it.
After taking a short rest, Li Xiang changed into another bamboo basket, holding a high-density knife in his hand, and went up the mountain again. Two yellow dogs "woof, woof" chased after them and tried to follow them, but Li Xiang drove them back.
"Dahuang, Erhuang, go back quickly to look after the home and nursery, and protect grandma."
The two yellow dogs were very smart and had no choice but to go home reluctantly.
With two dogs at home, Li Xiang felt more at ease.
After he entered the mountain, he started a live broadcast. There were not many people online. From the dozens at the beginning, it slowly increased to two or three hundred, and then it couldn't increase anymore. After all, the fan base was only a few tens of thousands.
It is worth mentioning that the guy who bought black truffles last time was also online. He was in the capital of Sichuan Province, only two to three hundred kilometers away. He said that the mushrooms had been received and the quality was very good. I felt it was worth the money.
I'm going. As soon as this guy said it on the spot, the fans got excited, and several of them clamored to make reservations.
