Spring rain continues. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The villagers are all happy, and the spring rain is as expensive as oil. Crops need rain to moisten them. Zhang Chao wore a raincoat, a hat, and trousers barefoot, walking on the ridge with several crop veterans of the Zhang family.

The growth of the seedlings is gratifying, because of another top dressing, the seedlings have turned green, and the growth is very gratifying. Rows of straight seedlings stood as straight as the groups of soldiers.

Several crop leaders are also full of joy, they are the foremen of the Zhang family's work, they are all old farmers in their fifties. Although they are not as powerful as the young people, the Zhang family values their agricultural experience.

They had never planted rice before, in fact, they had always learned to grow rice from San Lang in the Zhang family.

Following San Lang's selection, soaking, seedling raising and transplanting, step by step, looking at the original grain of rice seeds, now they have become clumsy and growing, verdant, and my heart is also quite proud. Not only did they grow rice in the bathing ditch, but they also planted it so well.

"It's raining well, don't worry about running out of water, save water for your car."

Zhang Chao was walking around the fields and was also very happy.

"When this rain is over, we will apply some more fertilizer and pull out the grass in the field."

By this time, it is possible for the rice seedlings to loosen the soil for him. However, unlike dryland plants, rice cannot be used to loosen the soil with a hoe.

The rice field has the method of loosening the soil in the rice field, walking to the field with a stick, taking the foot to go through the ground between the rice seedlings, wiping the mud with the foot several times, stepping on the grass that grows into the mud, not letting these grasses rob the fertilizer of the seedlings, and loosening the soil by the way.

If you chase fertilizer again, the seedlings will grow faster and better. When the pine field is pine, there is also a very important thing, that is, in the rice field, there are often barnyard grass accompanied by grass seedlings, this kind of grass is very similar to the grass seedlings, but it can always grow stronger than the grass seedlings, if you don't pay attention, they will rob a lot of fertilizer, and finally it is higher than the grass seedlings, but it only bears grass seeds.

Before the seedlings grow, they have to go through the pine fields at least twice. This is also quite time-consuming and energy-consuming, and every inch of rice field has to be trodden and wiped.

There are many frogs in the fields, and you can see loaches and eels from time to time, and sometimes you can see some small fish, and there are also snails.

It's a good ecology, not as good as in later generations, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and later, these things can no longer be seen in the fields.

Zhang Chao felt that the fish he could raise in these rice fields, crucian carp or carp, were good, as long as he dug a few ditches in the rice fields, the fish could be raised.

After a while, the seedlings will grow taller, and the ducks of the Zhang family will be able to be released into the field.

However, geese can't be put away, geese eat the most green, whether it is grass or rice seedlings, they eat it.

But the ducks are fine, and eating some insect loaches from the field will not hurt the rice. When the rice is filled, don't put it in the field.

When they arrived at the river below, two people came to meet them, but they were big bulls and two bull brothers.

"Big cow, come to collect the cage again! What's the catch? Zhang Chao asked with a smile.

Da Niu and Er Niu each carried a bucket in their hands, and came forward to show Zhang Chao with a smile. There are fish and shrimp in the barrel, as well as loaches, mostly small fish, but there are also a few crucian carp and yellow croaker with a width of three fingers, and a grass carp.

On rainy days, fish are the most active fish.

When the Zhang family first built the terraces, they dug many ponds on the hillsides to store rainwater in case the rice fields needed time. Now the pond is full, and when it rains, some of the fish in it will swim out.

The two brothers made some bamboo cages, which were large and pointed at the middle, left a hole in the middle, and placed a special funnel-like inlet, and put the cages in the canal, blocked on both sides, and the inlet was facing the downstream.

The fish can get into it through the opening, but once it goes in, it can't get out, because the entrance is like a funnel, and the bamboo strips are crossed below, and it doesn't affect when it goes in, but when it comes out, it is the bamboo strips that block it.

This kind of fish cage can be closed by big and small fish, and even water snakes, loaches, and crabs.

Because these bamboo cages are placed in small ditches, the middle of the cage is high, and the surface of the water will be exposed, so the fish and shrimp can breathe oxygen after being locked in, and when the cage is lifted, the fish and shrimp are basically alive.

Generally, after the cage is collected, everyone will put the small fish and shrimp that are still alive back into the water and let them grow up.

"It's going to have to be seven or eight pounds." Zhang Chao estimated that the harvest of the two brothers was still good, that is, the cage that they usually weaved, put it in the evening, and collect it once in the morning and evening, and when they were lucky, they could collect twenty or thirty catties a day, and under normal circumstances, they could also collect ten catties a day.

With so many fish, of course, the big cow won't keep it all for himself.

Now Da Niu is a long-term worker of the Zhang family, has a free identity, and also married seven daughters, and the seven daughters are pregnant. Da Niu will stew crucian carp soup for the seven girls every day to replenish her body.

The rest of the larger fish will be sold to the canteens of several workshops in Zhangjiagou, and sometimes to restaurants and restaurants outside the village, anyway, there is no need to worry about sales, because the fish and shrimp are very fresh.

As for the small fish and shrimp that died, as long as they didn't stink, he would take them home, and then dry the fish, sometimes on rainy days, sometimes they would be dried on the kang, and sometimes they would be eaten directly by the chickens and ducks raised at home.

It's not going to be wasted anyway.

For the big bull brothers who come to the cage to fish every day, Zhang Chao does not interfere. Even if Erniu is still a slave of the Zhang family, he will not care too much. As long as it doesn't affect the normal work, the servants of the Zhang family sometimes go to catch some fish and hunt, or the maids and servants do some needlework or something, and make some extra money, Zhang Chao will not care.

It's not good to be too strict, as long as they set their work tasks, set their working hours, and then their spare time, Zhang Chao regards it as their personal time.

The big cow wants to give the two yellow croakers to Zhang Chao, these two fish are actually yellow thorn fish, there are spines on the body, and pinching its spines will also make a duck-like sound, and some places are also called yellow ducks.

This kind of fish has no scales, the meat is tender, and it is the most delicious to stew and eat, and it is also called yellow and spicy diced in some places.

The two fish are quite big, each weighing more than half a catty, and you can get a big bowl of yellow thorn fish stewed with tofu.

"You can keep it for yourself, and make two pieces of fresh tofu stew, it's absolutely delicious."

Zhang Chao smiled and walked to the side of the reservoir, where there was a simple floating dock with a small boat tied to it.

With a few Zhuang handlers on the boat, Zhang Chao rowed the boat in the drizzle and slanting wind, and went upstream. Zhang Chao also went to the cage, but it was not the same kind of small bamboo cage as the big cows, he was under the ground cage.

A ground cage of 100 meters.

The ground cage is actually somewhat similar to the bamboo cage of the big cow, but the fishing ability is very strong. The big cows can only be in small canals, but Zhang Chao's can be thrown directly in rivers and reservoirs.

Although the bathing ditch is not deep, it is less than a zhang deep, but there are still a lot of fish. In this era, the water quality was not polluted, and there were no various ways of fishing, so there were many fish.

As soon as the dam stopped, the bathing ditch became a reservoir, Zhang Chao called it the whale ditch reservoir, there is a water surface of more than ten miles, upward, the river surface narrows, the water becomes shallow, but it is still living water.

This water can be traced back to the Lantian Mountain in the Qinling Mountains, and it is clear and good water.

Now this water surface is unique to Zhang Chao, and the fish in this river are also his, but everyone is allowed to just come to fish, as long as they don't drag the net.

Others are not allowed to go online, but Zhang Chao himself comes to the Internet every day.

He made two pairs of 100-meter-long ground cages, which he also put in the evening every day and collected them in the morning. You can collect it again in the evening, twice a day. With these two ground cages, Zhang Chao can harvest two or three hundred catties of fish every day.

The Zhang family has fresh fish and shrimp to eat every day, and it can often be supplied to the workshop canteen.

The ground cage is actually quite fun, and it is not tiring.

A few old men rowed boats and pulled nets, and Zhang Chao stood there today watching the scenery.

The bathing ditch has only developed a small part, but it is already quite good, with thousands of acres of rice fields on both sides of the slope, green and lush. Further up are ponds and vegetable patches, which are also green. Further up are the newly planted trees this year.

This year, Zhangjiagou planted 2,000 acres of mulberry trees, and also built several nurseries, including vineyards, vine pear orchards, tea gardens, camellia gardens, tung oil orchards, etc., and when these nurseries are up, there will be enough seedlings to plant those slopes.

The harvest in the morning was good, at least more than 100 catties.

The fish in this reservoir are simply inexhaustible, and the cage is always full after a night.

There are no disgusting Futian snails, and there are no nasty crayfish, and there are crucian carp, small white strips, yellow and spicy dices, etc., as well as many small shrimps, although these shrimps are small, they are much more delicious than crayfish.

There are still several soft-shelled turtles today.

Pure wild soft-shelled turtle, if it is difficult to see in the future, and it is quite big, there must be more than three catties, how can this be put in the future generations to get two thousand yuan.

Zhao, who closed the net, looked at the three big turtles with disgust.

"How did you collect three shells today?"

"Forget it, don't bother to bring it back." Wang Tou also doesn't like soft-shelled turtles.

Zhang Chao was speechless, this is a pure wild turtle, look at the water quality, it is so good, this turtle is so big, this is a good thing.

Big supplement.

Zhang Chao hurriedly stopped the king who was about to throw the soft-shelled turtle back into the reservoir.

"Don't throw it away, it's a good thing, take it back to stew soup, but it's a big supplement."

"This king eight shells are not delicious, just a shell, no meat, stewed and eaten, it is fishy."

Zhang Chao didn't argue with them, leaving three big turtles. Wang put their heads on the idea that pork is the best to have fat, and they all dislike the lean meat on the front legs. As for pork ribs, they are even more disliked.

The best big turtle, in their eyes, is just a king eight shells without meat.

"Alright, put the cage away, go home."

The boat rowed leisurely across the riverbank, and Zhang Chao looked at the clearing, where he had planned to build a holiday home. This area has not yet been reclaimed, it is still a wasteland, but it has been preliminarily leveled.

After this period of spring rain, the weather turned hot, and everyone was idle again, Zhang Chao was ready to officially build a resort here. At present, the preliminary plan is to build 36 holiday cabin courtyards in the first phase, and in the summer, it will definitely be very lively!

Yesterday, I watched for seven consecutive shifts, and my brothers gave me some support. It's been almost half a month, and after looking at it, the monthly ticket list has dropped one place, and it is the fifteenth place in the classification. (To be continued.) )
