Yipin Farmer

The busy days passed quickly, the end of summer passed, dew formed on the grass and trees in the morning, the weather turned cold, wild geese and swallows flew south, and the village was still busy.

There is a lot of work in the Meng family's field. In addition to raising chickens and feeding pigs, this season has to plant early garlic and autumn spinach. The rice in the field has finished flowering, and the green rice ears that have been pulled out are trying hard to bear fruit.

Xiaoye took time out of the city to look at it once, and felt very surprised. It stands to reason that the barren land cultivated in the first year could not be expected to produce much food, but now looking at the situation, there is already hope for a good harvest, and many people survived. Do not need seedlings.It is estimated that the rice seeds are better, so the seedlings raised at the beginning are very strong, and the water and soil in such a low-lying wasteland are also good, which is suitable for growing rice.

However, Ting Shuang felt that it was the good spring water in his own pond that was used to raise seedlings at that time, so the seedlings raised were strong, and the process of raising seedlings was very important for rice to have a good harvest.

Looking at the green that can't be seen at a glance, after the breeze passes, green waves are raised, and the nose is bursting with fragrance, Xiaoye suddenly has an impulse, and wants to quit her job in the city and come here to open up wasteland. Although farming is hard, Nothing compares to the joy of harvest.

In addition to topdressing the fields, we also need to increase the height of the field ridges. Because the terrain is low, once it rains and the water rises, the fish are easily washed away. In the end, the fish fry will lose their money, so we can't be careless.

Although there is a lot of work, the family members are very motivated.

Tingzhi still went out early and returned to school at night, because she drank goat milk and ate eggs every day, and she didn't stay up late at night, her face soon became rosy.Ting Hui tends the vegetable garden at home, raises chickens and feeds pigs, because these hundreds of chickens are very important, and it is related to whether he can slowly save money to open a shop in the city in the future.Meng Li's body recovered slowly, and she did some light work at home, such as washing clothes and cooking.

Xiaodouzi is very diligent and stays around all day long. He releases ducks to clean up the duck shed every day, and takes good care of the only cow in the family.Farmers have an old saying: "Frequent brushing, good fat head, relaxing tendons, activating blood circulation and less disease." Xiaodouzi takes the cows to the water puddles every day to brush and wash them, and gets up at night to add feed, because there is a particular point about feeding animals, which is called "the same Grass, the same material, different feeding methods and different fats." There is a saying in the village: "An inch of grass is chopped three times, and it will be fattened without material."

Therefore, he finely chopped grass every day, and added it twice at night.The thin cow with dry skin and hair when it was first bought has gradually become fat and strong, full of energy, vigorous in walking, and top-notch in work, and has been praised by the whole village.The cow also knows good and bad, and is very affectionate to the little Douzi who takes care of him.

Ting Shuang's purpose is to reward hard work and punish lazy ones, hard-working birds will have worms to eat, and once a month is over, Xiaodouzi will be given [-] Wen as a salary, and asked to go to the market to buy finely chopped lamb haggis for his mother's body, and then buy some Reward yourself with sugar, and then put on new clothes and bedding for yourself and your mother.Xiaodouzi had never held so much money in his life, and he was so happy that he was from ear to ear, thinking that he was a little man, and he earned it through hard work.

Baoqi also reached out to ask for wages, Ting Shuang patted his hand: "What are you doing, asking me for money?"

"I accompanied you into the city every day to deliver chickens and fruits, and even went to the field to pick vegetables."

"Such a small amount of work is not enough for your board and lodging here. If you help look after the rice fields, I will also pay your wages."

At this time, the rice ears are already full, and the fragrance can be smelled from a long distance. The greedy birds also rushed towards the field, and then raised their necks. A grass carp became a delicacy in the mouth of a waterfowl. The one next to it also walked over gracefully and picked up a frog.

Ting Shuang was extremely angry. This grass carp was not only raised to weed weeds, but could also be sold for money in the future. This frog ate a lot of pests. up.

Throwing clods and knocking with sticks dispersed some of them, but as soon as he left, the waterfowls flew back to eat them.

Now Ting Shuang was furious, he had no sense of modern animal protection in his head, he really wanted to kill these robbers, but he knew he didn't have the ability, his arrow skills were just enough to shoot a dead target, and he could shoot birds [-]% won't work.Baoqi's arrow skills are extremely high, he should be able to.But this guy is very attractive, if you ask him to do it, I don't know what it will be like.

Just when Baoqi reached out to ask for wages, Ting Shuang took the opportunity to assign him the task: "You drive away these villains, and I will give you the same wages as Xiaodouzi."

Baoqi was a little unhappy: "This job is too difficult, do you want me to stick in the field all day like that scarecrow?"

Ting Shuangxin said: "If possible, I really want you to stick to the ground day and night."

Of course this is impossible.

"You just take care of these long-haired guys, anyone who dares to steal them will be killed without mercy."

Ting Shuang Pao Shenjian borrowed bows and arrows from Zhang's family and handed them to Baoqi, then set up a pole in the field, made it into a scarecrow shape, covered it with rotten clothes replaced by Xiaodouzi, and put a straw hat on his head to complete the paddy field guard Work.

Baoqi's arrow skills are extraordinary, it's not a problem to shoot a fragrant head, let alone a few birds, she doesn't even use a bow, she picks up a few pieces of dirt and throws it, and hits the waterfowl in the forehead.

Ting Shuang went to pick up the shot bird and hung it on the scarecrow's hands.

"What are you doing?" Baoqi looked at the scarecrow in rags with only a few birds hanging on his hands, feeling amused.

"Show the public, anyone who dares to steal my food will be killed on the spot, and that's the end." Ting Shuang acted viciously, remembering that Robinson who opened up wasteland hung up the dead bird for public display, scaring away other bird thieves , kept his rations, and followed his example.

"You're really interesting." Bao Qi felt more and more that this guy had a lot of brains, but of course he didn't know whether his ideas were original or stole other people's wisdom.

Thieves are not just waterfowl, so when the crops are about to mature, someone has to watch them in the field. The folk customs here are simple, not to prevent people from stealing, but to prevent the harm of wild animals. All the way, but bears are extremely rare in this place, but wild boars and hares gnaw and gnaw, which also harms many crops.So in autumn, people need to see green.

Families with strong laborers take turns to send out several people to guard the crops in the four directions of the village, east, west, north and south.Ting Shuang still took Baoqi with her when she was looking at Qing, but this guy's arrow skills are not bad, if he can hit a hare, he can make a tooth sacrifice, and if he can hit a wild boar, it will be even more beautiful.

Baoqi was carrying a bow and arrow, and Tingshuang was wandering around the fields with a fork in his hand.In addition to the rice in my own rice field, there are also a row of beans planted on the tall field stalks, which are also very gratifying.

The watery moonlight poured down and shone on the rice ears and pods. The frogs in the water were croaking non-stop, and the weaver lady sang autumn songs, forming a peaceful world.

Ting Shuang put food in his pocket for supper, and gave Baoqi a handful of red dates.

Baoqi refused to eat it, and said: "I like to eat wine dates, so let's make wine dates when the dates at home are fully ripe?"

"I don't know how to make wine dates."

"Is there a recipe for jujube in the recipe left by old man Chu?"

"No."

"Some of the recipes in the recipes he left behind look very high-end, and they can't be prepared by ordinary restaurants. They should be unusual people, right?"

"No." Although Ting Shuang is usually talkative, she mentioned that old man Chu has not forgotten his last instructions, not to mention his affairs to others.

"But..." Bao Qi still didn't give up, "Did he leave nothing but a can of soup and a cookbook that he didn't use very much?"

"No." Ting Shuang was impatient, "Why are you so interested in him? You asked him more than once."

"Cough..." Baoqi coughed dryly, "I think he is very mysterious. Judging from the recipes he left behind, he should be an extraordinary chef, but why did he get so poor that he only left a can of soup and A cookbook, maybe he left something else, if you find it, you will get rich? You don’t have to farm the land so pitifully.”

"I don't think farming is so pitiful." Ting Shuang chewed the dates crunchily, "Farming the land is hard work, but it's such a pleasure to eat what you planted with your own hands. Young Master Brother will not know."

"What's the good of being tired and sweaty all day long?"

"What do you know? Sweat out to detoxify and beautify your face." Ting Shuang was not in good health before, and she was lazy and boring all day long. Coughing in spring and autumn was commonplace.But since I came to work in the countryside, I haven't committed any of the old problems, my energy has improved, and my strength has also increased.He attributes it all to sweat and labor.

"Hmm..." Baoqi also felt strange. When she came to the village, she ate fresh vegetables every day. There was no big fish and meat. I feel it's all strength, and every morning even my lower body... well, let alone.

"But……"

"Hush..." Ting Shuang stopped him, "There is a situation."

Baoqi pricked up her ears and listened: "There seems to be a group."

The two ran over following the sound.

"It's a wild boar." Ting Shuang found that not only was she in good health, but her eyesight had also improved. The few dark things under the moonlight should be wild boars.

Baoqi quickly took off the bow and arrow, and her movements were neat.Ting Shuang stopped him and said, "You can't deal with so many alone, and you will provoke them."

"What should I do?"

Ting Shuang had already asked Shenjian Zhang how to deal with the wild beasts, took out a few small firecrackers, lit them on fire and headed towards the herd of wild boars. Although it was not lethal, the movement was very scary, and the herd of pigs ran away in fright and disappeared into the night inside.

After tossing all night, Dongfang gradually turned pale, and the two of them were a little hungry.Ting Shuang took out her homemade sandwich from her pocket, steamed buns with pickled vegetables and fried minced meat, it was so convenient and delicious that even the most picky Baoqi took it and gnawed it.

"Hey, why is there another movement, it's endless, whoever steals my food will be killed." Ting Shuang viciously put down the half-eaten domestic sandwich and ran towards the sound.

I saw a beautiful little sika deer greedily eating bean leaves in the light of dawn.There are flower spots all over her body, and her bright eyes are extremely warm and lovely.

"Little deer!" Baoqi's eyes lit up excitedly, and she drew her bow and aimed an arrow at the little deer. Venison meat is a good thing, especially the deer tail, which is a treasure for tribute.

Ting Shuang stopped him: "Don't be so cruel, how can you have the heart to harm such a beautiful little creature? If a pretty little girl came to your house to eat something, would you beat her to death? You are too cruel."

Baoqi was depressed. Didn't this guy say that if he steals his food, he will be killed. Why is he so kind like a virgin now, but he has become vicious.

"We want to catch the live ones." Ting Shuang had a plan. Raising deer is much better than raising chickens and ducks. Deer antler is a treasure, and deer whip, deer skin and deer blood are all treasures.

"How to catch alive, there are no animal traps, and there are no traps."
