Chapter 115 Life in the countryside is pretty good
Song Qingshu opened his eyes in a daze and saw Xia Chan looking at him like this. He was still a little dazed for a moment. He realized that he was on a tractor, quickly rubbed his eyes, smiled sheepishly, and then moved Got off the tractor with the box.
He said thank you to Xia Chan and walked to the health center with the box in his arms.
Xia Chan drove the tractor to the yard of the brigade leader's house and went home.
Close the door, sneak into the hotel suite, take a bath for a while, eat something, then put on ordinary old clothes and come out, lie down to rest for a while, then go to cook dinner, and then eat all the dishes for the evening. When the time comes, just stir-fry.
After resting, there was nothing to do, and being idle was boring. In addition, Xia Chan was not a person who could live idle, so she carried two vegetable baskets in each hand and went to the stream. This season is the time for wild celery. It’s lush season!
Hundreds of kilograms can be picked in a short time, and the ones growing in the fields and ditches of the production team are handed over to the children, so that they can also earn a little income.
Thinking that this season of the 21st century is the season for eating crayfish and drinking beer, Xia Chan hurriedly rushed into the hotel suite, picked up her mobile phone and went to 'Crossing Mall' to directly place an order for a lobster net, a long style Yes, like a dragon.
I just happened to be given a few packs of bait as a gift.
Xia Chan unpacked a bag of bait and put it in, then threw the lobster net into the creek and tied the other end of the nylon rope to a small tree on the shore. She will know the result tomorrow morning when she picks up the lobster net.
Afterwards, Xia Chan took out five more bamboo baskets, placed them in the middle of the small stream, and sprinkled some bait into them. Soon, fish swam over. The ripples on the water surface were really scary from a distance!
The small stream is living water, so there is no shortage of fish.
Sometimes Xia Chan is really curious about where the upper reaches is and how it is, but she doesn't have the time. If she really wants to go upstream, it will definitely be too late in a day or two, so she just walks around here.
When she has time in the future, she will go upstream to hunt for treasures and see if there is anything upstream that can make her money.
Xia Chan collected a few frames of fish, picked two baskets of wild celery, and went home.
The things in the ground have just been planted not long ago, so we are not so busy at work now, and everyone is not so tired. During the meal, Xia Chan looked at Xia Qi and said, "Brother Qi, let's go out to catch eels tonight! This season , eels come out at night, they must be particularly easy to catch.”
When she was in the 21st century, she often saw bloggers going out to catch eels at night, using clips to catch eels accurately.
Not only eels, but also loaches, crayfish, small fish, crabs... they all come out at night, so you need to bring more things to avoid being unable to fit.
Xia Qi nodded, "Okay, your cooking is delicious, and the eel cooked by you will definitely be particularly delicious."
Xia Chan smiled and didn't explain much.
She is not just here to eat, but also to make money!
After dinner, matters at home were left to Xia Bin, Jin Pengfei, and Jin Pengyuan. Xia Chan and Xia Qi set off with flashlights, wooden buckets, and fire tongs. They went down the mountain. They first went to the brigade leader's house and called out. Eleven-year-old Xia Qingya and thirteen-year-old Xia Qingshan went to the ditch to catch eels together.
The Yong'an production team's high-lying fields were used to grow rice, but the crops were destroyed before, and then the water was released and used to grow corn. After all, it was obviously too late to replant rice.
So there is no water in the field now, but there is water in the ditch next to the field used to water the crops. It is not deep. You can clearly see what is in the water with a flashlight, including snails wrapped in a layer of moss. , crayfish and crabs that show off their power by waving their large claws, and one that looks like a snake The same eel lying on the mud... As soon as she saw the crayfish, Xia Chan thought of the delicious spicy crayfish and garlic crayfish, and almost couldn't help but drool. The 21st century fresh crayfish The minimum living wage is fifteen pounds, and a plate in a restaurant costs at least dozens of yuan.
But here, she can eat as much as she wants and as much as she wants.
Xia Chan put on the labor protection gloves she used for work, and started to catch the crayfish hiding in the water plants in the ditch. She caught one accurately and threw it into the barrel, making a crackling sound. Xia Qi asked in confusion, "Xiaochan, why are you grabbing this thing? This thing is broken and will destroy the field ridge."
"Don't worry about what I do. Just be responsible for catching eels and loaches. If you see crucian carp or other fish, you can catch them as long as they are that big." Xia Chan said and hurriedly squatted down to catch crayfish.
The water resources in this era have not been polluted in any way, and there are many aquatic resources in them. Xia Chan caught half a bucket of crayfish in a short time. In some places, there were more than a dozen crayfish concentrated in that small area. It was really dense. .
Xia Chan also quietly moved half of the crayfish into the space because she was afraid that her barrel would not be able to hold it.
Xia Qi is also a veteran at work. At first, he used fire tongs to catch the eels, but the eels were too slippery and ran away. Later, he caught them directly with his hands. He struck quickly and accurately, and no eels or loaches escaped his grasp. Heartfelt.
Cousins Xia Qingshan and Xia Qingya naturally didn't catch as many as Xia Chan and the others. After all, they were small and their failure rate was quite high. However, things like field snails and small snails can also be exchanged, so in most cases they just I picked up these two items, so I quickly picked up most of the bucket.
Xia Qingshan first sent the contents of the bucket back, and then came over to pick them up again.
Everyone had been picking up outside for two hours and then went back. Xia Chan and Xia Qi both went back with a lot of harvest. On the way up the mountain, Xia Qi said with a smile, "I know many places that have these. ”
"Then take me there quickly!" Xia Chan was very excited.
People in this era don’t like to eat these things anyway, so why doesn’t she collect them?
"Don't worry, I will take you to a place one day." Xia Qi said with a smile.
Xia Chan nodded happily, as if she saw the white money waving to her. She felt that life in the countryside was quite good. There was no intrigue among colleagues or comparisons between people. The most important thing was Yes, she doesn't have to do farm work every day like others, she has a lot of time for herself.
When they got home, the two of them poured the contents of the barrel into the basin, added some water, and raised them. It was already quite late now, and there was no time to clean them up. They would clean them up when they accumulated more.
The two of them washed up quickly and then lay down to rest.
Although catching eels is important, learning is also important.
