Chapter 550
Spring rain and summer solstice were a little restrained at the beginning, but they gradually became more relaxed after a while, and they giggled and helped on the side.
Qiao Xuan could see countless fish and shrimps swimming among the aquatic plants, and even some of them were quite big, but they were not very good at starting, so she had to give Xiao Qi some advice.
I don't dare to point out that every time I get something, it's enough to get it right seven times out of ten.
In less than half a day, the three buckets were full. Needless to say, there were river prawns and some fish of all kinds. The most popular ones were naturally wild crucian carp and carp.
So they hired an ox cart, and a few people went to Zhangjia Village together, and poured three buckets of fish and some water plants into it.
Ding Erzhu took good care of the fish pond. He chopped several sturdy pine branches from the mountain and sank them into the pond to pile them up, which could provide shade for the fish and provide a place to hide.
On the surface of the water, bamboo poles are used to frame a square frame that is not too big or not too small, and a pillar is inserted into the bottom of the pond to fix the square frame.
Qiao Xuan's fish was not raised for sale, so it was not fed any feed, but tender grass, aquatic plants, and vegetable leaves needed to be fed every five or six days. With a basket to frame it, the leaves of vegetables and grass will not float around. There are some stalks that are not eaten, and they can be easily salvaged in one place.
The three buckets of fish went down, and it was a drop in the bucket. There was also a river not far from Zhangjia Village. A few people saw that it was still early, so they were going to go to the river to try their luck. Might as well get some.
Ding Erzhu asked Qiao Xuan with a smile: "Master, do you want eel, loach, and mussel?"
Qiao Xuan's eyes were bright, she nodded and replied, "Whatever you want, all of these are required."
Loach, eel, river mussels are also delicious good things.
Ding Erzhu smiled and said: "That's it, I'll catch it for the owner later."
In the ditches on the edge of the rice fields, the most eels and loach are in this category. There are also mussels in some ponds. The ponds are stepped on with their feet, and when they step on them, they go out and find them.
Qiao Xuan smiled and thanked: "That's good, Uncle Erzhu is free to help us catch some!"
In this way, after making a day of lipstick and catching fish for a day, after five or six days, the fish pond basically does not need to be concerned.
There are almost enough fish.
After all, they are all grain reserves. If you eat fish on weekdays, you can go directly to the net in the river. The intact ones can be kept in the pond, and you can eat them for several days at a time.
The apricot blossoms have almost bloomed. At this speed, even if Qiao Xuan can stay, it will only be a matter of five or six days. The peach blossoms are in full bloom, and they can still open for another eleven or two days.
The weather is getting warmer, the grass is sprouting, the buds are blooming, the bees have gone through the winter, and they have begun to be busy day and night.
On almost every flower, bees can be seen working hard, standing under the flower tree with buzzing sounds in their ears.
Qiao Xuan thought about it. After a while, she would divide a few more beehives and raise more so that they could get the beeswax.
The paddy fields have started to be irrigated, and it is almost time for the busy spring ploughing of the year.
At this time, it is also the time when spring bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and wild vegetables are becoming more abundant, not to mention more popular.
The fresh and tender spring bamboo shoots are extremely sweet and delicious, whether they are fried with meat or stir-fried, or as a stuffing for steamed buns and dumplings, they are extremely delicious.
The most tender mushrooms just unearthed were picked from various mushrooms, which also had a very fresh mountain flavor. Fry it on a plate with the meat, and the aroma will fill the kitchen not long after it is put in the pot.
