Chapter 158 The scourge of the lobster [Thank you for your support]
In the hot summer, most farm work in the village is done in the morning and evening, except when weeding. The brighter the sun, the better the effect. Li Feng hates weeding. He sweats in the scorching sun for free and has no time to wipe it off.
After a busy morning, I finally finished weeding the weeds around the yard around ten o'clock. Only a small patch of grass was left under the peach tree to feed the rabbits and sika deer. There were no other bushes or vines left.
After a lot of effort, I got up at six o'clock. In addition to having breakfast for half an hour, I kept busy. I finally cleaned up the weeds and vines around me and dried them in the sun for two days. I used the branches to make firewood and burned the fire barrel in winter. The weeds were burned directly to smoke out the mosquitoes.
Li Feng tidied himself up, took a shower, changed clothes, lay on the recliner and took out some iced watermelon juice, and drank a glass of it. It was comfortable. On this day, if he didn't do anything and just lay down and blew the cool breeze, even the gods wouldn't change.
Two days ago, Zhou Yan's grandparents came over, and Li Feng was busy with all kinds of things. Fortunately, Wu Kan was there to help. The daily necessities were pretty complete, but there was a patient who was a little inconvenient in the summer.
I have been busy installing air conditioners and home appliances in the bamboo house for two days. As for the old man's condition, it is still stable, but it cannot be cured. The disease can only be relieved by taking medicine. The doctor said that it will take half a year, July or August at most. The family can satisfy the old man.
Trying to satisfy the old man's cheerful personality. Li Feng talked several times. The old man always talked about his days as an educated youth with nostalgia, talking about planting some vegetables in the vegetable field, and laughing that he didn't know if he could eat them. Li Feng
There was no regret on the old man's face, just a deep sense of nostalgia. The man secretly poured some spring water in the vegetable field, hoping that the vegetables would grow faster and the old man's last wish would be fulfilled.
Today, the old man had nothing to do and let Wu Kan show off his fishhook. He sat in the river bay, fished and talked, and had a leisurely life. Li Feng had heard of some folk remedies for this disease, but he couldn't tell whether they were useful or not. The old man could no longer bear the trouble.
, whether it was psychological or physical, he finally shut up and said nothing. As for others, it seemed that he had the same thoughts as himself.
Li Feng thought that his dates were brewed with the best part of the spring water at midnight. Drinking some of it would be good for the body. He filled two bottles and sent them over. The old man was very happy and took Li Feng to drink a few glasses with him. He said
It tastes good. As for the effect, Li Feng's time is too short to see it. Nourishing the body is definitely just for this disease, and Li Feng has no way to do it.
"Oh, how could such a good old man get this disease?" Li Feng sighed, forgetting that he was not done yet. Li Feng had raised those little goldfish for two days and had already adapted to them. With the addition of space spring water, they were very happy.
Li Feng selected some and put them into a bucket and gave some to Cheng Lao and the others. He did not want to raise a group of goldfish that ate and drank for free. The other fry moved to space early, and the number of space fish species increased to 65. Unfortunately, most of the local fish were
He has them all. Li Feng wants to catch and buy them by himself. Not to mention whether he has them or not, the price is extremely expensive. He has a small amount of money, so he can eat and drink easily, but he feels a little reluctant to buy those fish and shrimps.
, don’t say that you can’t afford some fish.
Li Feng was drinking watermelon juice while thinking about how to lower the net to catch bait fish. There may be fish reservoirs, but it's a pity that he can't lower the net. Even if Lin Ying doesn't agree with the big net, his father and uncle won't let him open it.
Xianhe. Depressed, Li Feng thought hard and had no good solution.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore." This man was a little hungry. There were still a lot of corn cobs at home in the morning. These were given by his uncle yesterday. The sweet corn tastes good.
Not long after I got up and walked out of the peach grove, I met my third uncle Li Fu, who was walking past the peach grove with a bitter look on his face.
"Third uncle, we are going to the ground. Sit down and have a rest." Li Feng's eyes were sharp. Li Fuqing was wearing a straw hat, a bucket in his hand, and an iron catalpa. His feet were covered with mud. He looked like he was going to the ground to pull weeds. Lijiagang
There are not many paddy fields, mainly the terraced fields in Qinggou. Each family has three or four acres more and one acre less. The rice harvest of Li Feng's family in a year is only enough to feed the whole family.
"Don't sit down, 1 Xiaobao, you said this is why I went to pull weeds in the rice fields today. Who knew that the water I just poured the day before yesterday dried up today." Li Fuqing said with a wry smile. He went there early this morning to see
I stared at the muddy field for a long time, looking around and found many holes on the field ridges. I originally thought they were yellow slug holes, but who knew.
"Look." Li Fuqing pushed the bucket at his feet. Li Feng stretched out his head and took a look. There were five or six lobsters full of mud. Needless to say, these lobsters may have just been caught from the lobster hole.
"Lobster? Third uncle, you mean that the ridges of the terraced fields are dug through by these lobsters." The ridges of the terraced fields are not plain, they are narrow. A few of these ridges are one foot wide and more than two feet high. How is that possible? These crayfish
Dig through. It's impossible. The lobster hole is only twenty or thirty centimeters, and its depth is only forty or fifty centimeters. How could it be dug through the hard mud like the field ridge?
"It's not that. I don't notice how these little things are doing. Who knows? I don't know what your family is like. I saw three or four paddy fields where there was no water.
The paddy field of Li Feng's family is close to the foot of the mountain, so I guess this situation would not happen. Who knew that not long after sending off his third uncle, his father Li Shan came back with a livid face.
"Dad, what's wrong?" "I went to pull the weeds. I thought the weather was good these days to dry the fields. Who knew that the water was just released yesterday, and when I went over today, the fields were full of water again.,, Li
Shan frowned.
Li Feng was stunned. It couldn't be crayfish causing trouble again. There are so many lobsters this year. These things reproduce very fast. No one has caught them in the past two years. It seems that they are overrun.
When Li Feng told his third uncle Li Fuqing what happened today, Li Shan was stunned. No, why did the fields of Lao Wu's family above his own have no water when they were drying the fields? It turns out that this is what happened.
But it can be big or small. The more water the better for rice. It needs to be dried for at least a period of time. Not only does the fertilizer in the water flow to other people's fields, but there is no fertilizer in your own field. If someone else has too much fertilizer, it is easy to burn the seedlings.
ah.
"No, I'll go to your uncle's house. This matter has become a big deal. It's hard to say what the harvest will be today." The head of Lishan Village didn't say anything. Every family in the village is a brother. If this matter is not resolved early, Lijiagang's rations will be reduced this year.
, it’s hard to say. It’s not easy to grow rice in a country with many mountains and little land.
Li Feng saw his father hurriedly went to discuss things with his uncle. Li Feng remembered that the two little swans that a few girls had caught two days ago were really thin and sick. At first, Li Feng saw
They all felt that they were being too much and too much.
The two little swans are soft and weak, and their down is a bit messy. In the past two days, Li Feng used the best spring water to mix feed and vegetables. The two little guys ate quite happily. At least they were better than the lifeless ones at the beginning.
Tens of thousands of times better. After the two little guys had eaten, they gathered around Li Feng, squatting and resting.
The two little ones were too small to eat by themselves, so Li Feng made a bamboo cage and carefully put the two little ones into the cage.
After eating and drinking, the two little things looked at Ting lying cutely on the rabbit cage. Li Feng clapped his hands with satisfaction and nodded with satisfaction.
After lunch, Li Feng was turning over and drying the weeds outside the yard. The sun was shining brightly, and the grass had dried and withered by midday. "Uncle, how about we go catch lobsters?" Li Feng looked at a few little guys who ran in to catch lobsters. It was noon.
What kind of lobsters are you catching? There are a lot of them in the river bay. It’s so cool to catch lobsters with a shrimp hook.
"If you don't go to Hewanzi to catch lobsters, where are you going to catch lobsters? It's such a hot day." Li Feng wiped his sweat. The sun was so strong. He didn't work hard and he was already soaked. These children
It’s really not hot.
"Go to the paddy fields. Grandpa Li and the others said that whoever catches more will get a bonus of 50 yuan, and they will all go." It turned out that at noon, Li Fukui held a meeting under the big willow tree in Hewanzi, mainly talking about today's paddy field issues.
, the problem of lobsters is not solved, the water in the fields cannot be guaranteed, and the seedlings have no water. In such a hot day, they may be roasted to death. The biggest problem is that water flows up and down the fields, and the fertilization time of each family is different, especially in some rice fields.
The seedlings need water later, and some seedlings are already strong and need to be dried in the field. These are messed up, but it is very easy to cause the seedlings to burn and wither.
Li Fukui's idea is good. There are so many lobsters that adults can't handle it, so why not let the children go?
When it comes to fishing and catching shrimps in the river, adults are no better than little kids. Especially now that it’s summer vacation and a group of children have nothing to do, why not let them go to the fields to catch lobsters and crabs, killing two birds with one stone. It’s just that the weather is hot and it’s easy to suffer from heat stroke.
Can the little guy come over?
Li Feng had overthought these things. All the children in the village were like skinny monkeys. They didn’t care about the heat. They were all gearing up, carrying bamboo cages, buckets, small shovels, and small iron catalpas. These iron catalpas were like a magnified version of Luoyang.
Shovels are most suitable for digging holes. These are for digging holes in autumn and catching rabbits. However, Li Feng has never been able to figure it out. This time he just used it to dig lobsters.
As for the boys, you don’t need tools. These kids are the most powerful. They are all masters of catching lobsters. They can reach into the lobster hole and pull out the lobsters without any trouble, and they are guaranteed not to be caught by the lobster claws. Here is one
Tips: Try catching lobsters. Lobsters react quickly in the water, but are not easy to pinch people. These children can know the approximate position of the lobster with just one try. It is rare for them to be caught by the lobster pincers.
, As for the little guys like Mengmeng, Leilei, Lingdang, etc. Li Feng shook his head. This lobster fishing can still be compared with the village. Forget about fishing for lobsters. Maybe they will scream when they are caught by lobsters.
"Lingdang, Leilei, don't listen to Mengmeng's nonsense. It's not easy to make money. You just go fishing for lobsters in Hewanzi and sell them to your Uncle Li Can for more than ten yuan a day, which is indispensable." Li Feng was afraid that a few children would run over.
, The children in the village are used to being naughty, and they don’t have much trouble under the bright sun. Leilei, Mengmeng is a city kid, and he might have a heat stroke. How should I explain to Xiaoqing? When I left in the morning, they would invite me again.
Help look after your niece.
What these girls were doing on a hot day expedition, but Li Feng didn't stop them. This time Lin Ying and a few people planned to go to Laogaoling, which is more than 20 miles away from the reservoir. They would come back at noon. Zhang Lan cooked some corn yesterday.
I brought the duck eggs with me and let's eat them together at noon. Li Feng didn't follow him this time, mainly because he didn't stay overnight and would come back in the evening. He asked Fatty to follow him, so he thought nothing would happen...!
