Lenggong Prince Farming Story

Chapter 205: Catching Fish and Shrimp

Nap in summer, people in summer tend to get sleepy.After eating and drinking, Xiao Xiao's eyelids began to fight. He wanted to help grandma clean the table but was robbed by the little uncle.So, yawning, pulling Xia Yu Tianyan's clothes, amidst the laughter of grandma and old man Xiao, he went to the bedroom to sleep in a daze, and woke up again feeling his body was limp, with no strength in his whole body.

Glancing at the clock beside the bed, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.have to!I originally said to visit the newly established museum in the afternoon, but now I don't have to go.

Look in the room, Xia Yu Tianyan is not there, listen carefully, it seems that he is talking to someone in the living room of this wing.Listen again, it's about farming.Well, probably that Hao Qingyun came.

He opened his mouth and yawned, because someone whose body was so soft that he didn't want to move closed his eyes and continued to sleep.As soon as I closed my eyes, I heard grandma's voice.

"Still sleeping?" Grandma had already entered the bedroom when she realized it.

"grandmother."

"Haha, get up, I've slept too much now, I won't be able to fall asleep at night. Your grandfather said he was going to the small ditch to catch shrimps, and asked if you would go?"

Catch shrimp!

"Go." Xiao Xiao's originally chaotic spirit disappeared without a trace, why is he so weak!Nothing at all.

"I knew you would go." Grandma said with a smile on her face, "It would be really strange for Xiaoxiao to change his habit of catching fish and shrimp because he went to the city. Get up quickly, the sun is not strong now, If you catch too many, we will make a big plate of shrimp to eat at night."

"Okay." Xiao Xiao got up and stretched firmly, and then felt refreshed. "Ouch! Grandma let go!"

"Your little face will be even more tender if you lie down in the city!"

"No way." Woohoo, he didn't mean to keep his face so tender.

"Oh, look, just touch it and it will turn red."

"You call it a light touch!" Xiao Xiao was not fair.

"Why don't you call, go, put on the straw hat, and don't come back later and the shrimp will turn into a braised prawn without touching it."

"Humph!"

"Haha! You brat, what's wrong with grandma screwing you up? You've been raised with shit and pee, and you can't even touch it?"

"..." Let's admit it, it's obviously because I'm jealous of my natural beauty.

It was said that the old man Xiao was going to the ditch to fish for shrimps, but calling Xiao Xiao meant calling Xia Yu Tianyan and the four bodyguards who came with him - Xiyue, Beifeng, Donglan and Nanfeng.Coupled with Xiao Hongjun who can finally go out to let the wind go, it becomes a big army.

Xiao Xiao is very familiar with the several ditches near the Qinglong River. Even if it has been more than ten years since the previous life and the present life, he is familiar with the road there.There was no way, his family used to be poor, and his favorite thing to do was to take the children in the village to Qinglong River to take a bath, and go there by himself to catch fish and shrimps in the ditches.If you are lucky, you will be able to find a land that has not been visited by anyone, and then catch some small fish or something.

Not to mention that those ditches existed before Grandma Xiao was married, so they are all old ditches, different from the new ones. In such small ditches, there are abundant aquatic plants and fish and shrimps can never be caught.

There are five small ditches and two large ditches in Daaozi Village.If there were a lot of people catching fish and shrimps in the leisure season like before, it would not be their turn.But since the Xia Group bought the land around here years ago, there have been fewer children who usually like to roam around in the fields and ditches.

Furthermore, it is not popular at this time to catch eels and sell them for money, and aquatic products such as shrimps and eels cannot be sold at the high prices of later generations, and children are usually greedy for them.So, you can imagine the harvest this time.

Mr. Xiao is leading the team today. According to him, this is not the first time he has come to do this.And he still has a lot to say about this matter, it seems that the old man is very childlike.

On the way to Qugou, old man Xiao put forward his opinion on the competition.And picked Dong Lan and Nan Feng to go to their team.

However, listening and listening, Xiao Xiao could hear that the old man was playing tricks.

"No." Xiao Xiao expressed dissatisfaction with Old Man Xiao's division of labor, "Grandpa, can you be more cunning? The ditch in the east is relatively large, and there are many fish and shrimps. The two ditches on the side of the small reservoir are very small. , not connected to the Qinglong River, there is nothing good at all. If you divide it like this, our team’s manpower will be scattered, and it will be a waste of effort. Do you think that your friends like the game you like?” What’s the big deal? Wait for the group of old guys to come and play with them.Feeling old man Xiao, are you a kindergarten friend?

"Why don't you like it? They can't play it."

"I don't care, I am [-]% dissatisfied with your division of labor."

"..." The old man Xiao was very depressed, and he stared at Xiao Xiao who didn't give him any face.To be honest, the ditch I chose is connected to the big ditch, and I can only catch a bucket every time I go to intercept a small place, and there is nothing in those two small ditches.All right!He deliberately wanted to take advantage of it, but winning or losing is just a matter of effort, without losing a piece of meat. Sure enough, the grandson and everything belong to other people. "If you are not satisfied, you and I will go directly to Dagou to arrest you."

"..." Dagou?Didn't the old man just say that he wanted to keep his old 'little friend' to entertain him?Why are you so generous now?

"Stinky boy, look at the calculation on your face." Old man Xiao wrinkled his nose and pointed his finger. "If you didn't catch as many outside today, just wait to cook for three days."

"Actually..." Xiao Xiao suddenly looked at Old Man Xiao seriously.

"what happened?"

"Your competition is really unfair, because grandma cooks at home, and when I come back, I cook with grandma. So...

"You look down on people too much. Your grandfather and I were the best at eating. I even taught your grandma's cooking." After speaking, he glanced at Xiao Hongjun, "Hongjun, what do you think of your father's cooking? "

"En, not bad." Xiao Hongjun glanced at his father and his nephew, and nodded very depressed.

"It's not bad! Oh! Forget it, I don't care about you group of children, let's see the truth."

"Okay." Xiao Xiao raised his haughty little head.But he didn't see the flashing smile in Old Man Xiao's eyes caused by his little gesture.

The gully on the east side was relatively close to the big ditch, and eight people blocked the mud at the junction.Then block another one at the place they selected, and then just scoop up the water inside with the basin they brought.

If it weren't for Mr. Xiao and Xiao Hongjun's proposal, it would be a blink of an eye to take dry water to Xiao Xiao and the others.However, since we are here, we are also embarrassed to cheat with the old man.So, I honestly dug the mud to block the ditch with my hands, and then used a plate to clean up the water in the area I selected.

Unlike Mr. Xiao, where everyone is very motivated, Xiao Xiao, Xia Yutianyan, Xiyue and Beifeng, only Xiyue and Beifeng went down to block the ditch and fetch water.

It's not that Xia Yu Tianyan and Xiao Xiao don't want to do it, but Xiao Xiao thinks that he can do it alone.

"Look, even if I'm alone, I promise to do more than them." Xiao Xiao smiled mysteriously, not telling Xia Yu Tianyan that he had practiced for more than ten years.

When the four people on Mr. Xiao's side were busy draining the water, Xiao Xiao started to act when one-third of the water was removed on Xiao Xiao's side.

Because the water was muddied by Xiao Xiao at the beginning, most of the fish and shrimps showed their heads at this moment, and Xiao Xiao's movements of catching fish and shrimps were a little rusty except for the first few, and then he caught them one by one. .The eyes of Beifeng, who was watching the water, were straightened.

"Your Highness, have you practiced?"

"That's right." Xiao Xiao grabbed a Qingyu that weighed a pound, "Otherwise, how dare I promise it, just watch. We promise to be faster than Nanfeng and the others." He said and motioned Xia Yutianyan to take the bucket containing the fish Come over, "This fish is good. Go back and make spicy grilled fish or stew. It's delicious."

"The fish doesn't look big." Xia Yutianyan indicated that there were more than one catty of fish in the bucket.

"Well, in fact, this is not bad. If the original historical development is followed, in a few years, you will not even be able to catch fish in the Qinglong River."

"Why?" Beifeng was surprised. He had seen the Qinglong River last time, and it was a very big river.

"It's poisoned to death." Xiao smiled, "It's nothing in the past few years. In my previous memory, in a few years, many people will poison the river and kill many fish. Those things are not harmful to people, but they can make animals Extinct. But it’s okay now, the crops and pesticides in the rice fields are not so powerful, and the fish and shrimps in the rivers and ditches have not been visited for a while, and there will be a lot of... oh, it’s eels..." Xiao Xiao said, suddenly Seeing a rice field eel weighing one pound swimming in the muddy water, he fixed his eyes and quickly caught the fat rice field eel into his basin. Looking at the rice field eel swimming in a panic in the basin, someone Very proud, "Hey! How can you run away from my master's skills, and wait to be my master's appetizer."

The less water there is, the more fish and shrimp will be exposed.After a while, Xiao Xiao filled his hands with shrimps and loach, and the rice field eel's basin was two-thirds full.And Xia Yu Tianyan's bucket was already half full of fish.

When less than one-third of the water was left, the place where the water was fetched became a gathering place for fish and shrimp, and Xishan and Beifeng also started to catch fish and shrimp from time to time.

"It seems that almost no one came to visit this year?" Xiao Xiao looked at his harvest. Fortunately, he has the habit of wearing a snakeskin bag when he catches fish or shrimp.Otherwise, there are so many today and I don’t know where to put them.The old man Xiao over there has already sent Xiao Hongjun back to get bags to pack.

And they can also understand Xiao Xiao's inability to give up the bag.After all, Xiao Xiao and the others had already filled half the bag when they came to ask for the bag.

"I want this kind too, look at the one in my hand." Xiao Xiao picked up a finger-long fish, "This fish is delicious when dried or fried as a snack."

"Not waiting for them to grow up?" Xi Yue was just about to throw out a fish that was exactly the same as Xiao Xiao's.

"No, this kind of fish won't grow very big. If they grow up in ten or twenty years, it's our turn to eat them."

"Oh, you didn't say it earlier, I threw away several just now." Beifeng complained.The basin in which I took the water in my hand is now half filled with shrimps, loaches and small fish.

"Didn't I just remember it. Put it down, and catch it after we finish eating this time."

"Would you like these snails?" Xiyue pointed to the snails that had crawled all over the edge of the ditch because the water was almost dry.

"Yes." Xiao Xiao glanced at the snails that were crawling all over the ditch. If you don't eat them, your grandma likes to eat them very much, but because she doesn't like them, she seldom makes them. They asked for bags, I can't believe my uncle only took one bag when he went back. Pick up more, go back and soak in water for a few days, and then we will have a feast of snails. Haha!"

"Smile, left." Xia Yu Tianyan, who was standing on the shore, reminded.

"Wow! Heiyu, this one weighs at least three catties." Xiao Xiao was so happy that he saw his teeth but couldn't see his eyes. "I said why something is missing today."

While talking, he didn't stop his movements. Blackfish is a fish with few bones, delicious meat and high nutritional value.

It has to be said that Xiao Xiao's skill in catching fish and shrimp is really high, as long as he sees it, almost nothing can escape from his hands.

When there are only a few sporadic spots left in the water, those loaches and black fish that like to nest in the mud will also appear.When doing it by hand, he actually caught three black fish weighing more than one catty.And old man Xiao's two are only a little over a catty.

"Why do you need so many screws (= snails)?" Old man Xiao looked at Xiao Xiao's half bag of snails.

"This grandma likes to eat." Xiao Xiao said seemingly unintentionally.Well, he meant it.

Who is the old man Xiao? He is a well-known treacherous and cunning man. How could he not hear what Xiao Xiao meant, so he glanced across his nose and said critically: "Is it strange that Ah Yao likes it? It doesn't have much meat, and it's not delicious."

"Who says it's not delicious, don't be greedy when I make it."

"It's delicious." Yes!Besides, if it is delicious, the old man will not let it go.
