After experiencing the baptism of double robbery, Lao Bian and the others have made a big leap forward in their techniques of killing crops and threshing rice. Net... With the concerted efforts of everyone, the rice thresher was quickly pushed to the innermost part of the field.
That line.
Although the water in the fields is released ten days before the rice is harvested, the innermost line of the relatively low-lying fields is basically still quite moist. Eels and loaches can indeed survive in dry mud for a long time.
After a period of time, of course, they will prefer moist places with water. In other words, the moist line in the innermost part of a field will gather a considerable part of the eels and loaches in the field.
So when the rice thresher reached this line, one of the comrades deserted.
This comrade's surname was Fang Mingrui. He threw away the rice stalks he had finished beating and went to dig out loaches with a big hoe.
There is no shortage of eels and loaches in Fang Rui's space docking pool. The reason why he is so anxious to dig out the rice before the rice in the field is finished is because Fang Rui is really impatient. Digging for loaches is the word.
, carries so many memories from Fang Rui's teenage years, so many memories that he misses them so much that he can compete with fishing for frogs, catching eels, and swimming in the river in the summer.
There are two ways to dig loach.
One is like catching eels, first find a hole, and then dig along the hole. This method of digging is accurate, but finding the hole is more time-consuming. Loach eels are very smart, and they are very smart in the field.
When the water dries up, they lose the fun of playing and hunting in the water. At the same time, various natural enemies will come to the fields to hunt them, doubling the risk factor of their situation. In order to greatly reduce the risk of being hunted by various
To reduce the chance of natural enemies finding them, most eels and loaches will seal their cave entrances with mud. This makes it difficult for natural enemies to find them, let alone people who dig up loaches.
Another method is blind digging. Blind digging does not mean digging with eyes closed, but does not look for caves. In the field, you dig randomly wherever you think there are loaches and eels. In this way, even if the loaches and eels block the entrance of the hole,
It will also be dug out, but the blind digging method can be said to be digging aimlessly, so a lot of effort will be wasted.
In short, digging for loaches is both a technical job and a physical job.
These two points are best reflected in fields with relatively thin mud. Because you dug out a loach and eel with a hoe, or found a loach and eel but it got into the thin mud in front. If you cannot use your hands in time,
If you grab it, or immediately follow it up with a hoe, you will be in vain... This is a great test for the coordination and cooperation of the digger's technology and physical fitness.
Fang Rui is an out-and-out expert at digging for loaches. As a true expert at digging, he needs to possess three elements. In addition to the above-mentioned skills and physical strength, there is also the ability to determine whether there are eels in a field.
Loach, eel and loach mainly focus on the approximate location of this hilly field.
It was precisely because of these abilities that Fang Rui didn't swing the hoe until he pushed the rice thresher to the very end.
……………………
The mud in the innermost line of Fang Rui's mounded field is relatively soft, and there is still some water in some places. It is unrealistic to find holes to dig here, because eels and loaches can come and go freely in the thin mud. It is better to find holes or not.
Generally there is no difference, so the blind digging method can only be used.
Fang Rui swung the first hoe vigorously. The hoe sank deeply into the mud. Fang Rui suddenly pulled the hoe back and dug out a large piece of mud.
Fang Rui took a closer look and a smile appeared on his face. He saw a loach as thick as his index finger jumping happily in the dug hole. It was so frightened that it swam around and tried to dig into the mud. Fang Rui
With quick eyesight and quick hands, I caught it with one hand, and then threw it into the bucket in Yaya's hand beside me...
There is a saying in the countryside that "the loach needs to be coaxed, and the eel needs to get angry", which means that when catching a loach, you need to treat it gently, and to catch an eel, you need to use direct violence. Why should you be gentle when catching a loach? Because the body of the loach is not as slender as the eel.
They are fat and short, and the loaches are slipperier than eels, so you won't be able to attack them by force.
"Wow, little daddy dug one, little daddy dug one!"
When Yaya Nini saw the fat loach in the bucket, she was so happy that she clapped her hands.
"Wow, really, I dug one with just one hoe..."
Those on the side who were there to watch the rice harvesting were also very interesting to watch.
Fang Rui dug again with his hoe, and when he pulled out the mud, there was no loach in the pit, but he saw a loach tail on the cross section of the mud in the field. The loach's tail just flickered and it flashed into the mud. Fang Rui
Instead of digging after him with his hoe, he followed the place where the loach had just slipped, inserted it in, and then dug it out. The loach was miraculously caught in his hand, and then he threw it into the bucket.
"Little daddy is so awesome, little daddy, you are so awesome..."
Yaya Nini felt happy again when she saw that Fang Rui's technique was like magic.
"It's really amazing. I've seen many people dig up loaches in the past two days, and this handsome guy is the best..."
One of the onlookers blinked her big eyes and said with great excitement. If she hadn't found the mud dirty, she would have taken off her shoes and socks and got into the mud. She asked Fang Rui to give her the hoe so that she could try it too.
Already.
Fang Rui continued to move forward with the hoe. His speed was very fast, and the coordination between the hoe and reaching out to fish was very good. Basically, as long as a loach or eel showed its slightest trace, it would not be able to escape his clutches.
Fang Rui dug down again with his hoe and pulled out the mud. This time a round hole was revealed.
When you reach a certain level under the mud surface, the holes of loaches are different from those of eels. The holes of eels are diagonal and horizontal, while the holes of loaches are directed downwards. Moreover, the holes of loaches are not deep.
If the mud is not very thin, you can use your fingers to sort through the holes and catch the loaches. However, if your loach catching skills have reached a certain level, you will prefer to catch the loaches in holes with thin mud.
This hole was dark and numb, going straight down. It was undoubtedly a loach hole. The mud here was a bit thin, but Fang Rui didn't care. He gently followed the hole with his fingers and soon touched the body of the loach.
Without waiting for the loach to react, Fang Rui turned his fingers into palms and gently scooped up the loach with his palm like a ladle. Feeling that the scoop was firm, he quickly pulled out the mud in his hand and poured the loach into the bucket.
Throw.
Yaya Nini shouted with joy again.
The onlookers also burst into surprise and admiration.
There were a lot of loaches and eels in Fang Rui's family's hilly field. He only dug for half an hour and dug up less than half of the innermost line of the field. He actually dug up nearly two kilograms of eels and loaches, which made the onlookers on the side look in amazement.
.Also, Lao Bian Lin Fangfang and the others, who had stopped threshing rice a long time ago, joined the crowd of onlookers.
The hoe dug down again and when the mud was pulled out, there was nothing in the pit, but a big fiery red tail on the mud section swung and slipped into the mud.
"It's a big eel, it's a big eel!"
Yaya Nini, who had learned a lot about eels, shouted.
"Ruizi, dig it in quickly. Our eel soup tonight will depend on it!"
Lao Bian shouted excitedly that he wanted Fang Rui to give him a hoe to dig, but he knew that this thing required high technical and physical requirements. Even if there were a lot of eels and loaches in the field, he would definitely not be able to dig them out.
What the heck. And there are so many onlookers around, so it’s best not to lose sight of this person.
Of course Fang Rui knew it was a big eel on fire. This time he did not use his hands to follow the eel's escape route and pursue it. No matter how skilled he was, it was just a fool's errand to catch it. The strength of a big eel on fire was not like that of a loach.
It can sneak through the mud very quickly, and even though its body is thick and long, it will not leave any traces in the mud...
The more important point is that the big eels are rich in experience. They will not just run straight ahead, or stop running after a while. They will run in zigzags and without any pattern. Some big eels will even run in a straight line.
After running forward for a certain distance, it will detour through a certain arc and run back into the dug mud, which is unexpected by inexperienced eel diggers.
Under everyone's nervous gaze, Fang Rui waved his hoe and dug in.
After hoeing down, Fang Rui did not see the burning eel, so Fang Rui swung the second hoe, the third hoe, and the fourth hoe in succession.
Fang Rui didn't just dig forward in a straight line. He dug the dirt road he was following very wide. This way, although the speed would be slowed down, he could restrain the eel's cunning, and the eel could run no matter how curved it was.
It's useless, let alone taking detours.
After chasing for more than one meter, the eel's tail appeared again. As expected, it had greatly deviated from the track when the horse was first revealed. At this time, it was obvious that the eel's strength had been weakened, which made it difficult for it to escape.
The speed dropped a lot. But Fang Rui dug faster and faster. As time went on, Fang Rui chased the eel for a dozen more times, and the entire body of the eel was completely exposed.
This burned eel is indeed big and long enough. It is 50 to 60 centimeters long and weighs about 70 to 80 taels. In the world of wild eels, it can be considered a small giant. All the tourists watching were exclaimed.
.Even Lao Bian and the others, who had seen red eels weighing several kilograms, were amazed.
Fang Rui caught the big eel with one hand and threw it into the bucket.
The roasted eel is plated in a bucket and stands out from the crowd. It is so conspicuous.
"Young man, do you want to sell this eel or loach?"
A middle-aged tourist with brand-name clothes and a big belly asked eagerly. Several onlookers agreed. They also wanted to buy this loach and eel. There are many problems with meat and vegetables on the market now. This kind of pure natural game is hard to find. What’s more,
What's more, I watched others dig it out with my own eyes.
"Sorry, I want something to eat at home."
Fang Rui smiled and shook his head and refused, saying that these eels and loaches were obtained by him with great effort and sweat. Fang Rui's current economic situation is not as difficult as before, so even if Fang Rui owns these eels and loaches,
If you don't eat it, put it in the pond or give it to others, and you won't sell it for money.
"Young man, the wild loach on the market now costs about 30 yuan per pound. I will pay you 50 yuan. The small eel is 35 yuan and the big one is 50 yuan. I will give you all the eels in this bucket.
How about sixty yuan a pound?" the middle-aged tourist with a big belly said unwillingly.
"Brother, it's not about money. I really don't want to sell this loach and eel," Fang Rui explained with a smile.
"Oh, forget it then." The middle-aged tourist said disappointedly.
"We can dig it ourselves!" said a companion next to him.
"Yes, this is not a difficult thing. We can really dig it ourselves!" Another companion strongly agreed.
"Yes, yes, let's dig it out ourselves. Not only can we experience the fun of digging for loaches and eels, but we can also eat authentic game!" The middle-aged tourist smiled, as if thinking of something, and asked Fang Rui again. "Young man, let's see you.
Do you mind if we come to dig up loaches and eels in our fields?"
"I don't mind, loaches are wild, as long as you have the ability to dig them up." Fang Rui smiled lightly. This is not Fang Rui's generosity. In the countryside, others can dig up loaches and eels in the fields. So there are some.
When the field owner was killing the crops, he used a hoe to plow up the areas where loaches and eels were found in the field... In some fields, there were many loaches and eels, and the owner of the field even killed a crop of crops and dug a hoe.
In this way, the rice in the fields has been plowed, and almost all the loaches and eels have been dug out.
………………………………….
Fang Rui never expected that his words of "don't mind" would lead to ridiculous results.
After hearing that they didn't mind, the onlookers at his field dispersed in a hurry, except for the few beauties who were afraid of getting dirty. Where were they going? Of course they were going to get hoes to dig up loaches and eels. They ran away first.
Go to a villager's house to borrow it. But you will definitely not be able to borrow it.
Digging for loaches in the golden autumn is a great harvest pleasure almost as good as harvesting rice. Who among the villagers still has a spare hoe at home? Tourists have no choice but to buy a hoe. And there are many things in Xiaotai'er Village now.
They all have businesses. But you can't sell hoes. If you want to buy them, you have to go to the small ancient town.
As a result, the agricultural tool stores in the small ancient town began to become lively. Continue. The popularity of flat hoes appeared in the agricultural tool stores. Gradually, the supply of flat hoes began to exceed demand. Later, flat hoes became hard to find. Later, I heard about it.
The tourists who come here have to go to other towns or cities to buy.
The wave of popularity for the board hoe quickly dissipated.
At this time, a lively scene came to the fields in Xiaotai'er Village.
A very interesting landscape appears in the fields of Xiaotai Village - often in a field where millet is being harvested, there are dozens or even twenty people. Don't think that these people are villagers threshing millet. Most of them can
They are all tourists waving hoes.
This situation gave the villagers who wanted to finish threshing the rice and then dig out the loaches and eels in the fields a headache. Damn it, before they even moved their hoes, the place where the rice was threshed was completely dug up by these guys.
came over. There was no other way, so the villagers had no choice but to kill the crops and dig up loaches and eels at the same time.
When tourists saw villagers killing crops and digging at the same time, they followed their example, brought their own sickles, and took the initiative to help kill crops. Of course, they also killed crops and dug at the same time.
The hard work and enthusiasm of the tourists made the villagers very overwhelmed, and they simply refused the tourists' request to help kill the weeds. This was tantamount to denying them the chance to compete with them for the eels and loaches in the fields.
However, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below.
The enthusiasm of the tourists is unprecedentedly high, but the villagers can't refuse verbally. If you don't let them kill the crops, they will kill the crops. They help with the work for free, and the kind-hearted villagers can't force them to do it, so they have to
I watched helplessly as the tourists turned over the fields and dug away the loaches and eels.
Some tourists were even more wild. When they saw that the rice in a field was almost ripe, but the owner of the field had not yet started harvesting, they took the initiative to help the owner of the field kill the rice with sickles. Of course,
Tian Ye also had to help dig it up...it made the villagers want to cry without tears.
……………………
"Sir, my two fields by the river are still a little green, and I plan to thresh the rice in a few days. But who knows...those tourists, without even saying hello, just put the rice stalks in the fields.
It was knocked down, and the entire field was turned upside down."
"Brother Fumin, the grains in the hills in my fields can still be swollen for a few days, but after encountering such a vicious hand... I will have to lose at least a hundred kilograms of grains!"
"My two hills are like this..."
"I am a Qiutian..."
"I, Sanqiutian..."
"Uuuuu, my whole field has been wiped out..."
On the night of Fang Rui's first day of threshing rice, many villagers gathered in front of the village branch Liu Fumin's home to 'cry and complain'.
Liu Fumin was also busy harvesting millet today. Of course he saw this with his own eyes. The enthusiasm and wildness of the tourists made him dumbfounded. He also tried to give orders to stop it, but the tourists were like chasing sparrows.
They were driven away from this field, and they immediately arrived at that field... Some simply ignored them.
For this reason, the villagers and Liu Fumin were at a loss for a while...
"Master Zhi, please think of a way, otherwise our late rice yield per acre will drop...and the eels and loaches in the fields will be poached by those tourists in vain!"
"..." Other villagers strongly agreed.
The villagers told the truth, which gave Liu Fumin a headache. But the villagers were busy with their own affairs, and it was impossible to keep an eye on every field. Even if you did, you might not be able to keep an eye on every field.
Tourists so big and rat-like are attacking from all directions, so you can't care less.
"Well, Brother Fumin, why don't you call Xiaorui and ask him what he can do?" Fan Mu'an suggested.
"Yes, why did I forget?" Liu Fumin patted his head, took out his newly bought brick-like mobile phone, and dialed Fang Rui's number.
Fang Rui laughed when he heard this, of course he saw it too. And I guess the tourists' madness had something to do with his words of 'don't mind'. Fang Rui himself didn't care about the loaches and eels in the fields being eaten by tourists.
They dug it away, and they didn't care that the unripe rice in the fields was killed by them, but just because they didn't care didn't mean that the villagers didn't care.
Without thinking, Fang Rui said to Liu Fumin, "Old man, this matter is not simple. How do we manage fishing in Hewanzi? Is this how we manage loach digging?"
"You mean, charging? But the loaches and eels in my field are wild and anyone can dig them up. Can I charge a fee?" Liu Fumin asked.
"The fish in Hewanzi are also wild, so we don't still charge for them," Fang Rui said.
"But fishing is a leisurely and fun thing, but digging for loaches is very physically demanding." Liu Fumin said.
"They paid for this stamina voluntarily, and it's none of our business. In short, whoever wants to poach them will pay, and if they don't pay, get out." Fang Rui said calmly.
"But what if they refuse to pay?" Liu Fumin asked worriedly.
"That's not easy, just take the bucket of loaches and eels away from him..." Fang Rui said with a smile.
"But what if they take action?" Liu Fumin said.
"Are you still worried about this? Let me ask you a question, whose territory is Xiaotai'er Village!"
(Thank you everylittle for your monthly ticket support, thank you...)
