Chapter 174: Harvest Rice ()
Loach and eel are aquatic products and naturally like places with water and humid places.
For most farmland, the ground level on the outside side is slightly higher than the inside. This is like a swimming pool. The place where the water enters is shallow, and the deeper you go in, the deeper the water becomes. Of course, the difference in water levels in farmland is not that big.
Very weak.
This means that once the water in the field is lost, the first thing to drain away is the outside of the field, and the first thing to dry up is also the outside of the field. Therefore, there are basically no loaches and eels in the outside area of the field. On the contrary, the farther into the field, the
When you go to the inner side of the field, there will gradually be more loaches and eels. Especially in the innermost line of the field where there is still some water, there will be the most loaches and eels.
Niu Niu was delivering the rice straws, and then she started her errand. The little girl found a small hole in the mud. She squatted down, dug it with her fingers, and felt that there was something in the hole, so she told Gao Qianqian
He shouted, "Auntie, I found a hole. Let's dig out the loach inside."
The loaches and eels in the fields live in holes in the mud. If there are holes in the mud, there will be openings on the surface of the mud. This exposes their existence and exposes them to human excavation, rats, weasels, snakes and other natural enemies.
However, some loaches and eels are very smart. They will block the holes in the mud with mud, which can reduce the crisis a lot.
"Niuniu, you have found the loach hole. Auntie, come and have a look." Gao Qianqian handed a handful of rice straw to Luo Hui, and she also left.
Gao Ge was about to say a few words to the little girl, but Luo Hui also threw away the rice straw he had finished beating, clapped his hands and said, "Old man Gao, the rest of the task depends on you. I will dig out the loaches too."
"Xiao Hui and the others are three years old, and you are only three years old. Are you really playing in the mud?" Three helpers left at once. Gao Ge was speechless and attacked Luo Hui. This guy is easier to dig than an electric motor.
If you go, you have to step on the rice thresher again.
"Well, let's be three years old. Childlike innocence is what I yearn for the most." Luo Hui was too lazy to talk to old man Gao, so he went his own way and brought a hoe.
Old Man Gao had no choice but to call the three villagers over there who were still killing crops. One of them beat the rice and the other two delivered the rice straw.
"..."
Gao Qianqian and Niu Niu looked around the hole she found, and Niu Niu asked, "Auntie, do you think there are any loaches in this hole?"
Although Gao Qianqian had much more experience than her, she was only at a second- or third-rate level, and she couldn't be sure, "You'll know if you dig in."
Gao Qianqian raised her hoe and was about to dig. Niu Niu quickly stopped her. "Auntie asked me to dig."
The little girl exercised in the morning every day and ate the best food. Her strength increased rapidly. She swung her little hoe and dug along the hole. She dug in deeply with two hoe, and the hole became bigger.
At the same time, the dry cave wall also became moist. These two signs indicate that there must be a loach in the cave.
Niu Niu threw away the hoe and stopped digging. She lay down and dug into the hole with her little finger. After a few clicks, she pulled out a loach as thick as her thumb. This made her so excited that she held it in both hands.
The loach dangled in Luo Hui's eyes, and then in Gao Qianqian's eyes, showing off.
Luo Hui and Gao Qianqian ignored her little brat, lowered their heads, and looked around the mud, looking for holes.
"Brother Xiaohui, there is a hole here, dig it." After a while, Gao Qianqian found one and called to Luo Hui.
Luo Hui went over and took a look. The hole was close to the stubble. It was somewhat hidden. It was as thick as a thumb. It was estimated that the loach inside was quite large. Luo Hui was not polite and started digging with the hoe. After a few hoe strikes, a loach was found inside.
A fat loach costing seven to eight dollars was dug out.
Gao Qianqian caught the loach in her hand and waved it around under Niu Niu's eyes. "Niuniu, did you see? These loaches are so fat. One loach is as big as the three or four you just had."
Niu Niu was not convinced and crossed her waist and said, "Auntie, don't be proud, I will dig a bigger one for you right away." After that, she started looking for the hole more seriously.
"..."
Luo Hui searched and searched, and finally found a hole. He dug in with a hoe and found that it was not a loach hole, because eel holes all point straight down and are relatively shallow. And eel holes are
It’s different, it’s horizontal development, and the elders have grown up.
Luo Hui dug forward along the hole, digging and digging. When he dug up a stubble with his hoe, wow, something interesting happened. Another hole actually appeared, and a loach's head was poking out of the hole.
It was a fat and tender big loach. Luo Hui was stunned for a moment, then looked at the hole before, and it was still there. So what was going on with this loach? I hadn't seen a hole in the mud before?
Luo Hui caught the loach and threw it into a bucket, and asked her the question. Gao Qianqian told Luo Hui that loach and eel would block the entrance of the hole with mud, making it difficult to find them, so they had to dig blindly.
Luo Hui suddenly realized that this was the case. Sure enough, while digging along the eel hole, he dug out two more loaches without any warning. After finally digging out the eels, Luo Hui had a flash of inspiration and turned his hoe
After throwing it away, he stopped looking for the hole, stopped digging, and walked out of the field.
"Brother Xiaohui, where are you going?" Gao Qianqian was confused.
"I'll go back to the top of the mountain and be back soon." Luo Hui replied.
"Is something happening on the mountain?" Gao Qianqian asked with concern.
"No." Luo Hui smiled mysteriously, "You will know later."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Gao Ge called to him over there, "Xiao Hui, don't worry, I'm going back with Danguzi by the way."
Luo Hui shrugged and returned to the rice thresher. Gao Ge stepped down from the rice thresher, used a leather dustpan to load a load of rice from the rice thresher chamber, tied the rope to the pole, and the pole went to Luo Hui.
He stuffed it in his hand and said with a smile, "Xiaohui, you have so much strength. It would be such a waste if I didn't let you carry the load of millet back."
Luo Hui rolled his eyes at the old man and walked away carrying the millet.
After picking the millet into the cement terrace in front of Gao Ge's house, Liu Guihua finished all the chores at home and was already waiting by the terrace. Next, there is still a lot of things to do about taking care of the rice.
In fact, the threshing of millet from the rice stalks is just a new beginning. To turn it into the white rice that people eat every day, it has to go through several processes. First, it is dried, then the grains mixed in it are removed, and then the grains mixed in it are removed.
Rub off the grains stuck to it.
Next, pick it out to dry in the morning and put it back in the evening. Don't let it get wet by rain or dew.
After drying for three or four days, use a windmill to remove the shriveled grains mixed in the grain pile. After drying for another two days, you feel that the moisture is almost dry, and then you go to the rice milling room to remove the chaff.
All that's left is rice for human consumption.
Why did the ancients write poems and express their feelings for a long time, saying, "It is noon when we are hoeing, and the sweat drops are mixed with the soil. Who knows that every grain of rice on the plate is hard work." Indeed, a grain of rice from a farmer can be said to be a drop of sweat.
Even those who have never worked in the fields, I believe it is not difficult to understand the hardships and hardships involved as long as they are willing.
So wasting food is absolutely shameful.
"..."
Luo Hui rode a black monster to the foot of the mountain. With a call, Little Black and Little White rushed down like two whirlwinds, rubbing intimately between Luo Hui's legs. Luo Hui touched Xiao Bai's
The head said, "Xiao Bai, guard the top of the mountain. Xiao Hei, follow me."
Xiao Hei jumped up excitedly and got on the quad bike. Xiao Bai whimpered twice and had an objection. He always took Xiao Hei with him every time he went out. It was strange that he had no objection.
"Good boy, Xiaobai, I'll take you there next time." Luo Hui patted its butt.
After receiving his promise, Xiaobai wagged his tail and went back to the mountain.
When Luo Hui was about to drive away, the little squirrel Xiao Zhu chirped and ran down the mountain. Recently, this little guy has been missing while playing. He doesn't know where he went crazy or whether he is back to Feilong.
He went to hook up with a squirrel girl in the forest of the mountain. Luo Hui waited for him, and Xiao Zhu ran over, jumped into the car, and climbed on Luo Hui's shoulders.
Luo Hui parked the black monster in front of Gao Ge's house again, picked up the newly vacated basket, and took them to the field. When the little squirrel came to the field and saw Niu Niu, it immediately jumped down from Luo Hui's shoulder.
Went to make out with Niu Niu.
"You stinky little Zhu, where did you go?" Niu Niu grabbed him and scolded him, "It's very dangerous outside and there are a lot of bad guys. Don't run around next time, do you hear me?"
Xiao Zhu hugged his face with his front paws and squinted his eyes, looking pitiful. This made Niu Niu couldn't bear it, so she put it down and said, "Go aside and play by yourself first. I want to dig up loaches."
After saying that, I ignored it and went to dig my own loach.
Niu Niu ignored her and Xiao Zhu was a little bored and was going to play with Xiao Hei. Then he saw the loaches in the small bucket and came to the edge of the bucket. He climbed on the edge of the bucket with his front paws and looked at them curiously.
They were round, slippery little gadgets. Xiao Zhu Gulu stared at them for a while, and felt that these gadgets were quite interesting, so he touched one of them with his paw.
Its claws were somewhat sharp, and it might have hurt the loach when it touched it, so it bounced vigorously in the bucket, causing the other loaches in the bucket to panic and bounce around randomly. For a moment, the small bucket was full of pain.
It's so lively here.
Xiao Zhu became even more interested now. When they stopped, he touched one of them with his paw. Once again, the bucket was filled with excitement and excitement. The more Xiao Zhu played, the more interested he became, and the more interested he became, the more he played.
I got carried away while playing, lost my center of gravity, and fell headlong into the small bucket.
Xiao Zhu panicked and stood up quickly. Fortunately, the bucket was small and would not trap it. But as soon as it stood up, the small bucket was put on its head, and the loach in the bucket did not need to
He said that they must have all fallen into the fields.
Xiao Zhu shook his head vigorously and shook the small bucket away. He touched his face with his paws and saw a fat loach at his feet. He wanted to play with the loach, but he never thought about it.
A figure ran over wielding a hoe. It was Niu Niu who was angry and dumbfounded. "Damn Xiao Zhu, do all the bad things and I won't beat you to death!"
