When the bad guy is reborn in 60s

This week, except Lin Qiuxia and Lin Donghai, everyone in the family is very tired and hard.

Lin Qiuxia took care of all the housework at home, and she could only find ways to help them improve their food under limited conditions.

On the day her second brother came back, Liu Qiuxia asked him to take her to fish for eels.

In her previous life, she had a good friend who loved eating eels, and he told her many times that it was hard to buy wild eels, and they were all farmed on the market, and they didn’t know what kind of feed they were fed to grow them.

I also helped her learn a lot about science, thanks to her good friend. Sure enough, the knowledge you learned in your head may come in handy one day.

Later, she was curious and searched online. There is a saying among the people that "Small summer eels compete with ginseng".

According to the "Compendium of Materia Medica", eel has the functions of nourishing blood, nourishing qi, anti-inflammatory, disinfecting, and removing rheumatism.

It also contains various nutrients and lasts for a long time. She can't remember it now. In short, this thing is a good thing.

"Second brother, you finally came back. You won't have time to accompany me when the autumn harvest starts tomorrow. Now hurry up and accompany me to catch eels."

"Then wait until the autumn harvest is over before we go."

"Oh, you have to go back to school after the autumn harvest. Go now."

"Third sister, your brother just came back from a journey of more than half an hour."

Seeing Liu Qiuxia's squinting eyes and frowning, she quickly added: "Besides, the second brother has just come back, and he is not prepared. He has not even dug up earthworms, so how can he fish?"

"Second brother, second brother, the earthworms are here. Third sister has taken me to dig up a lot of earthworms in the past two days and keep them in the soil." My brother Donghai is never absent at critical moments.

Lin Xiaze could only accept his fate and took his tools and walked to the paddy fields with his younger brothers and sisters.

Lin Qiuxia turned her anger into a smile and followed her, followed closely by Lin Donghai.

When we arrived at a small ditch in a rice field, we started to make preparations. The fishing gear was very simple. It was just a handmade hook made at home and tied with nylon thread. You don’t need a too long thread to catch eels, about fifty or sixty centimeters is enough. .

Lin Xiaze used a fishhook to pierce the earthworms and push aside the weeds growing in the ditch. When he saw the holes about five or six centimeters in diameter, he put the fishhook in, then wrapped the thread around his palm several times and held it tightly.

After the fishhook is put in for a certain distance, the water outside the hole is flicked with your fingers to make a sound, attracting eels to take the bait.

The first and second holes were bombarded with water for a while but there was no response, so a new hole was replaced, and the earthworm was inserted again, and the same procedure was followed.

There was finally movement at the third hole, and the nylon thread was pulled violently. Liu Qiuxia felt that her heart was beating a little fast, not because of excitement or excitement.

Why does her second brother have to do this job? It seems to be quite simple and she can do it herself.

One very scary reason is that sometimes what is fished out of these holes may not be all eels, but may even be snakes.

She is now keeping an eye on his second brother, and will run away as soon as something seems wrong.

Although most of them are non-venomous water snakes, she, who is already in her 30s, may have developed a fear of snakes just like her elders. Speaking of which, in her previous life, she picked up a small snake when she was a child and used it as a toy.

When I grow up, I can no longer do it. I am scared to see it through the glass when I go to the zoo.

So a while ago, when her father and her uncle were looking for yam beans, they caught a snake and brought it back for extra food. She didn't eat a bite. She even claimed that she loved her brother and coaxed Lin Donghai to eat a lot.

Lin Xiaze pulled hard, and Liu Qiuxia was already in a running posture. Lin Donghai shouted happily:

"Second brother, you are so awesome. Third sister, you caught the eel."

"Huh~" Liu Qiuxia finally felt relieved and quickly took the fish basket to catch it.

The eel is very slippery. After coming out of the hole, it must be put into the fish basket immediately and then untied. If the fish hook escapes and runs into the water, there is no chance of catching it back.

Lin Xiaze fished through several holes and finally caught seven or eight more fish, all of which were very fat.

"Okay, that's it. It's getting dark, so let's go back." Lin Xiaze took a look at the sky and decided to call it a day and go home.

"well."

The two siblings answered in unison.

After returning home, Liu Qiuxia threw the eel directly into the yard, into the half-broken water tank where wastewater was usually used to water vegetables.

Originally, the family wanted to put her in a bucket, but now conditions do not allow it. Except for the two buckets for carrying water, the other buckets are basically used for bathing, washing clothes, and other needs.

But thinking about using it for bathing, Lin Qiuxia couldn't accept using it to raise eels.

Moreover, this thing is easy to feed, and it is no problem to throw it in a water tank for a week.

During the few days of harvesting, Liu Qiuxia thanked her friend many times from the bottom of her heart, otherwise she would not know how to cook eel, especially now that there is no seasoning.

Lin Qiuxia dug out some ginger from her own plot. Yes, her plot not only contains ginger, but also sand ginger and turmeric.

It's outrageous. She didn't know what to say when she discovered these things that day.

She didn't know how to kill the eel, so Lin Qiuxia washed it and put it directly on the chopping board. She grabbed the knife and chopped it into several pieces, then put it in the pot, directly used ginger to remove the smell, and then added a little lard extravagantly. Add salt at the end and it's a rare and delicious dish.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but after the autumn harvest, Lin Qiuxia always felt that her family's faces and spirits were better than others after eating eel. It might also be because she put in a little oil.

After the autumn harvest, her second brother went back to school, and the school had a week's holiday for busy farming. One week was basically enough for each production team to harvest all the rice.

But everyone in the village can't rest yet. There is still one last process, which is to dry the rice.

On the second day after harvesting the grain, everyone gathered at the grain drying ground in the village. First, they moved all the grain collected from the grain depot and placed it on the grain drying ground. When they opened the bag, the rice tightly packed in the bag looked like Pour it out one by one like running water, and the golden rice exudes a fresh and pungent fragrance.

Everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath, it was the taste of a good harvest.

At this time, some people will pick up their homemade tools, special rakes (a bit like the rakes used by Zhu Bajie), and slowly push the small mounds of rice to all directions on the mat.

Then do it horizontally and then straightly until the grain drying ground is covered, but the ground should not be too thick.

There is still a lot of rice, so I spread it on a drying mat in the open space next to the grain drying ground.

"Everyone, be careful about the rice. Don't let wild birds eat it. Also, be careful not to let chickens that accidentally escape from someone's house come over and eat it."

The captain shouted to the child, who dared to be a bird and returned to the village alive, and watched while playing.

Liu Qiuxia was assigned the task of turning the rice, which meant that she would go out and rake it horizontally and then straightly every once in a while, which was equivalent to turning the rice over.

Most adults do light work at home, such as cutting bamboo, cutting bamboo pieces, or weaving baskets and baskets.

There are also people weaving straw mats with cattails, weaving vegetable baskets, and all kinds of things.

It is a break from doing heavy work. Another reason is that if the weather changes, I can rush to the grain drying field to collect grains as soon as possible.

Liu Qiuxia was lucky enough to witness that during the few days of drying the grain, dark clouds drifted over several times and the sky became overcast. The speed of the grain harvesting army made her jaw-dropping.

In the end, I found out that it was a false alarm and it didn't rain, so I spread it out and continued to sunbathe. Sometimes I could go back and forth three or four times a day.

Later, it really rained once. Fortunately, everyone was not affected by the previous illusions and still quickly put away the rice, so that the rice was not soaked in water.

Lin Qiuxia sighed hundreds of times in her heart every day during the autumn harvest. Even if mechanization becomes popular in later generations, farmers are still a group of people who work very hard to make money, let alone now, it is really not easy.

So she has to work harder and go out in the future!
