"It's okay. This girl is just talking casually. In fact, I really don't have any secrets here. It's just good luck. Plus, the environment here in Zhaojiatun is better. It's really suitable for making organic rice." Lai Wang said.
Kang Can felt a little aggrieved and his eyes turned red, but he didn't say anything. He just lowered his head and kept pulling at the edge of his clothes with his hands.
Mr. Luo also smiled and said, "Children don't understand anything. Laiwang is also very simple and won't care. When it comes to the secrets of planting, there really are no secrets here in Laiwang. Basically, Laiwang doesn't go to the fields to see.
After a few times, the management of water and fertilizer in the fields was entrusted to the villagers."
Mr. Yuan had calmed down a long time ago and nodded slightly, "Then it should be environmental factors. I saw that the weeds around me didn't have many insects, let alone diseases. But it also shows that the habitat of the rice fields is very stable.
I have another request."
"Mr. Yuan, if you have any request, just say it. If it can be met, I will definitely agree." Lai Wang agreed.
"I want to take some millet from your field for research. I want to see if the rice has mutated in some way. I don't know, is that okay?" Mr. Yuan said.
"Okay, there's nothing wrong with that. When you go back, I'll give you a bag of rice directly." Lai Wang said.
"You don't need that much. No matter how much you get, you won't use it. Just get some prototypes." Mr. Yuan continued, "No wonder Mr. Luo refused to go back when he got here. If it were me, I would definitely refuse to go back."
When work was finished in the evening, Sanbao waited for the breeding farm honestly. They hid somewhere all afternoon. At this time, they pretended to be pitiful, which made Laiwang reluctant to criticize them severely.
"Are you pretending to be honest now? Why are you running so fast at noon? Come here and beat me," Lai Wang said.
Laiwang walked into the room and brought out a small stick.
"Come here quickly!" Lai Wang said.
Sanbao, you look at me, I look at you, and each one shirks away.
"The one who comes first will only be hit once, the one who is second will be hit twice, and the one who is last will be hit three times." Laiwang ignored their cute expressions. Every time Sanbao caused trouble, he always chose to pretend to be pitiful.
But after hearing Lai Wang's words, the three immediately started a civil war. Lai Bao wanted to rush to Lai Wang's side first, but unexpectedly Lai Le stepped on his tail. Lai Le immediately stepped out, and a snipe and clam immediately came to fight.
The fisherman profits.
After Lai Le Lai Bao figured out what was going on, he immediately rushed towards Lai Fu, but by this time it was too late. Lai Fu had already run to Lai Wang's side.
"You are the one who takes the lead every time. Don't think that if you come early, I will let you go." Lai Wang picked up the stick and hit Lai Fu. Lai Fu shook his body and let out a groan.
There is grievance in it.
"Laifu. Don't come to Uncle Wang's house. Just come to my house. I won't beat you with a stick!" Jin Gui shouted when he saw Laifu. But Laifu didn't even look at him.
Lai Bao walked down to Lai Wang step by step, lay down on the ground, and held his head with his two front paws. He seemed to be afraid of pain. But his buttocks were raised high, allowing Lai Wang to beat him with a stick.
Lai Wang raised his stick and was about to hit them, but Jin Gui rushed forward. He held Lai Wang's hand with both hands and said, "Uncle Lai Wang, please don't hit them. They are actually very smart, and they will definitely not do bad things in the future."
Besides, they didn’t do anything bad today. Instead, they were helping you. They are animals. Aren’t they smart? You are responsible for not taking good care of them. If I want to beat them, I will beat you,” Jin Gui said.
Mr. Luo chuckled and said, "Yes, Jin Gui is right. The three of them are just like children. When children do something wrong, they can only be educated well and not hit. Beating is wrong."
"Grandpa Luo is right. I don't want those loaches anymore. I'll give them all to you." Jin Gui used material goods to buy allies.
Lai Wang didn't really want to hit these three guys. When he hit Lai Fu just now, he raised his hand very high. In fact, when the stick fell on Lai Fu, he no longer had much strength.
At this time, Laifu was dumbfounded. It looked back at the two triumphant guys. It ran so fast just now that those who interceded did not have time to intercede. This plan was in vain.
"Puppy, I'll give you something to eat. Don't pay attention to that person. You just know how to be unreasonable." Kang Can showed great motherhood and treated all small animals as if they were her pups.
Lai Wang knew that the child was still worried about what happened just now, but he didn't care about the girl. He entered the room with a stick.
Mr. Yuan had to go back to Nanshi Experimental Base to attend a ceremony the next day, so he had to rush there after dinner.
Jin Gui caught almost a pound of loach and made it as a snack that night. These days, this kind of wild loach is hard to eat. The loaches sold in the city are all bred by farmers, so they naturally lose the freshness of this wild loach. taste.
Lai Wang made a dish of braised loach, which made Mr. Luo and Mr. Yuan full of praise.
"This loach is delicious. But in the city, whether it is supermarkets or wet markets, the loaches sold are all bred on a large scale in farms, and the taste is vastly different from this one. This loach is so fresh. "There seems to be a little sweetness in the taste. I haven't had such delicious loach in many years." Mr. Yuan said with a smile.
Mr. Luo nodded, "There were so many loaches in the past. I remember that in the countryside at that time, a bamboo prison could trap more than a kilogram of loaches in one night. I remember that as long as it rained, the ditches would be full of them. They were all loaches, and sometimes loaches even crawled onto the road. You could touch them with your hands."
"Yes, yes. At that time, every time you caught a loach, you could make a tooth sacrifice. Everyone used the food stamps they saved so easily to exchange for a few taels of bulk liquor. It was really enjoyable to eat." Mr. Yuan seemed to see that time again. That kind of day.
"Yes. It was hard at that time, but people were more fulfilling than they are now. Young people can find happiness wherever they go," Mr. Luo said.
Jin Gui couldn't understand the past events the adults were talking about, but he became interested in catching loaches. "Uncle Wang, do you know what a bamboo prison is?"
"Of course I know. My uncle used it to catch loaches when he was a child. But since the electric fishing machine was introduced, that thing has lost its effectiveness. Also, when spraying pesticides, large areas of them always die, and they reach the paddy fields behind. There aren’t many loaches left,” Lai Wang said.
"Yes, electric fishing machines and pesticides are the two major killers of rural farmland ecology. Laiwang, it is so easy for your farmland to be restored to this state. Pay special attention to the fact that there are so many loaches in it. I'm afraid some people will be tempted. When the fishing machine comes, not only the loaches will suffer, but also the frogs and many beneficial insects inside will suffer," Mr. Luo said.
"Don't worry about it. I have a solution. I'll talk to the people in our village later. If anyone dares to use a fishing machine to go to the fields in the future, I'll make him look good!" Lai Wang said.
Mr. Luo knew that Lai Wang always kept his word and rarely spoke big words, so he nodded. "If this continues for a year or two, there will definitely be swarms of loaches in the fields in the future."
"Uncle Wang, water has been released in the field today. Can we go catch loaches together in the evening?" Jin Gui asked.
"Okay. Uncle will go see the water tonight. If you are not afraid of ghosts, go with him." Lai Wang said with a smile.
"Okay! I'm going to catch loaches tonight!" Jin Gui jumped up excitedly.
After dinner, Mr. Yuan rushed back to Huangshi Town while it was still dark. After stopping there for a while, he would go directly back to Nanshi.
Zhao Shuliang pulled Jin Gui back and wanted to go back, but Jin Gui refused.
"I'm not going back. Uncle Wang said he would take me to catch loaches at night. I won't go back with you," Jin Gui said.
"Lai Wang, you have done a good job. I don't care if you put your money here." Zhao Shuliang said.
"It's okay! Uncle Shuliang. I'll turn on the water in the evening. Otherwise, the fields will dry up and crack. I won't be able to turn off the water in the future. I'll take Jin Gui back by the way," Lai Wang said.
"Uncle Lai Wang, can't you be a fool? You must do what you promised me. Adults can't lie to children," Jin Gui warned.
Lai Wang touched Jin Gui's head. "Don't worry, you brat. My uncle will definitely take you to catch loaches tonight."
Lai Wang really kept his promise. At night, he drove to the field and took the net cages he used to catch fish in the Huangshi River. Naturally, these cages are of no use in the fields, but in a canal with a head depth of But it is of great use. There are also a lot of loaches in the canals, especially the canals in the farmland area of Laiwang.
"Uncle Lai Wang, can you catch a loach with this fishing net?" Jin Gui asked.
"Don't worry, you'll definitely be able to catch it," Lai Wang said with a smile.
The countryside in summer is not quiet at all. Frogs scream desperately to attract the opposite sex. Night is the best time for frogs to fall in love.
In this field in Laiwang, if you shine a flashlight on it, you will see bright eyes everywhere. This frog is very interesting. At night, if you shine a strong light on it, it will immediately stay in place stupidly. At this time, be careful If you walk up to it, you can catch the frog directly with your hands.
When Lai Wang was as big as Jin Gui, during this season, he often took him to catch a kind of frog called a stupid frog at night. This kind of frog is larger, but more stupid than ordinary frogs. It tastes extremely delicious and the meat is also delicious. More often. Rural adults often warn children not to catch frogs or kill frogs, otherwise they will be guilty. But there is no restriction on catching those stupid frogs.
There are two venom glands in the frog's body, which are non-toxic only in summer, so you can only eat frogs in this season throughout the year.
However, in recent years, the number of stupid frogs has become less and less, and slowly some people have begun to put frogs on the table. In the end, the number of big frogs was even smaller than the number of stupid frogs before.
But this time, Lai Wang took a flashlight and found many frogs in the field.
"Silly Frog, what a big stupid frog. Come to Uncle Wang, let's go catch that stupid frog?" Jin Gui's eyes were very sharp, and he immediately saw the fat stupid frog.
"Have you forgotten what Grandpa Luo and Grandpa Yuan said today? Frogs are friends of our farmers, and we cannot eat the flesh of our friends," Lai Wang said.
Jin Gui nodded quickly, "Our teacher also told us that frogs can help us catch pests."
"That's right. But when the number of frogs increases in the future, we can still catch them and eat them. But that's not possible now," Lai Wang said.
"Uncle Wang, how are we going to catch loaches? Do we dig in the fields with our hands?" Jin Gui asked.
"Handwheel. Do you want to turn over this whole field?" Lai Wang said with a smile.
"Then how do we catch loaches?" Jin Gui asked.
"Don't worry. Uncle has a solution." Lai Wang said with a smile.
Lai Wang took Jin Gui to the ditch, put some bait into the cage, and put the cage into the water outlet of the house.
A small pool formed at the water outlet, just enough to submerge the small cage.
After placing the net cage, Lai Wang said with a smile, "Let's go, there are several such pools ahead. Let's put one in each place. I'm sure I'll catch more loaches than you did this afternoon."
"Don't brag!" Jin Gui said.
"When did uncle brag?" Lai Wang asked.
"Then what should we do if we don't catch the loach?" Jin Gui asked.
"If there are no loaches in the net, next time I will take you to town for a supper. You can buy whatever you like, how about that?"
"Okay, it's a deal, no horse can be chased!" (To be continued...)
