Dressed as a farmer group pet

Chapter 321 Chapter 320
On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, the long-term workers prepared the weeds to feed the chickens and ducks for the past few days. In the afternoon, Jiang Hu paid all the workers' wages and set a date for the start of work.

Er Niang brought a piece of bacon for each of them, not much, only about a catty, but they had already made several people very grateful, and said that they must come early after the new year, and then hurried home.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, several children happily followed Jiang Hu to paste the couplet window grilles, while Xiaoxue and Erniang were busy in the kitchen.

The dumplings I ate this morning are also going to be eaten casually at noon, and the New Year’s Eve dinner will be left in the evening. I will make a lot of them until tomorrow.

Although it was the first time to celebrate the New Year in Xiangmu Village, everyone didn't feel that they were different at all, and it was no different from the previous ones in Fu'an Village.

After the curtains were posted, Jiang Hu went to kill the chickens and rabbits, etc., and the others went to feed the chickens and pigs. There was no way, even if it was Chinese New Year, the livestock at home had to be fed.

Xiaomi moved the cattle and sheep to the wasteland, and found a place with thorns and weeds.

The three wild goats are growing very well now, both legs are good, they can stand up, and they seem to have agreed to stay in Jiang's house.

Now as long as the ewe is tied up, neither the ram nor the lamb will leave, even the ewe has recently become pregnant again!

It's a pity that Xiaomi practiced his speed all winter, but since then, he hasn't encountered a goat.

However, the bees in the space are developing very well. Linger helped her harvest a jar of honey, and then made several beehives with bamboo. Now there are two beehives with bees.

"It seems that we have to go to the mountain again, otherwise it would be a pity to put such good honey in the space."

Xiaomi scratched her chin and thought about it, she almost forgot about it, honey is a good thing, especially pure natural wild honey, this is the wild honey produced in the space!
She hasn't tasted it yet, but she can already imagine how delicious the nectar in this space is!
Xiaomi tied the cattle and sheep to a tree, and then went down the mountain to help pick up eggs. Everyone is on vacation these days, and the manager of the Liu family is also on vacation to go back to accompany his wife and children.

Fortunately, he had experience before, and Jiang Hu had prepared a lot of bamboo baskets in advance. The old men who weaved bamboo baskets in the village were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths.

Eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs are packed separately. Goose eggs are the least and eggs are the most. There are about a hundred eggs and dozens of wild eggs almost every day.

Domestic chickens and pheasants are not mixed. Although the pheasants cut off their wings and were raised fat and fat in Jiang's house, they are still kept separately.

However, pheasants are not so diligent in laying eggs, and hatching eggs are not as serious as domestic chickens, so under normal circumstances, domestic chickens hatch eggs, and when they are hatched and raised, they are brought to the pheasant.

Wei Ziang had already fed the chickens while she was grazing the cows, and the ducks and geese had also been driven to the pond.

It rained a few days ago, and the water level of the fish pond dug before has risen a lot, and the first step has been submerged, so now there is no need to drive the ducks outside, it is just right here, which is very convenient.

Pick up eggs with Xiaomi, feed the rabbit later, and give the bamboo raccoon the sawed bamboo joints.

Jiang Yu and Jiang Wei are feeding the pigs. There are already more than [-] pigs in the pigsty. It will take a long time to cook the pig food and feed the pigs. Three big pots cook together!

I usually cook it at night, and then feed it the next day, but there is a high probability that I don’t have so much time in the afternoon, so I scoop up what was fed to the pigs today, and then cook tomorrow’s first.

Jiang Wei lit the fire, three cauldrons, and couldn't rest for a moment, while Jiang Yu went to feed the pigs.

The young man who is about to turn 13 has grown taller and his strength has increased a lot after running for half a year. He is already half of the labor force.

Although I study my homework carefully every day, I have not forgotten about the farm work. As long as I have time, I will help the family with some things after returning home.

Now Jiang Yu looks tall and thin, but he is not weak, and he does farm work unambiguously. Under the delicate scholar's robe, there are also strong muscles.

When the brothers and sisters finished their work, Xiaoxue had already come to find them to go home for dinner.

The lunch is also very simple. The chickens, ducks and rabbits that Jiang Hu killed in the morning have all been cleaned up, and they are processed after the meal.

I only caught a big grass carp when it was getting dark. How can there be no fish in the New Year?This is more than every year.

As soon as it got dark, the whole family sat down neatly at the dining table, and Erniang brought out rice wine specially.

"You all drink slowly, you can only drink one bowl, and drink chrysanthemum wolfberry tea when you finish drinking."

As he spoke, he pointed to the teapot next to him, which was placed beside the fire.

Since Xiaomi said last time that children will become stupid when they drink alcohol, Er Niang directly banned their rice wine. If it weren't for the Chinese New Year today, she probably wouldn't allow it.

Xiaomi looked at the rice wine in the bowl, it was only half a bowl, three or four mouthfuls at most!

Looking at the side, there are obviously more big brothers!
"Mother, why are there so many elder brothers?"

"Because big brother is older than you, you won't become stupid if you drink more."

Xiaomi was instantly discouraged, but seeing that the second sister had as much as him, it was balanced.

Jiang Yu took a piece of pan-fried dried fish and gave it to Xiaomi: "Okay, I will only have one more mouthful than you. If you are so greedy, grow up quickly. Mother said, when you are 15 years old, you can't help drinking. "

Xiaomi smiled instantly, but still deliberately said: "What, I think this rice wine is sugar water, and the one Daddy drank is wine."

As soon as it was poured out, the smell of wine filled the room.

Immediately afterwards, she was knocked on the head, and Erniang pretended to be angry: "Rice wine is also wine, and if you drink too much, you will get drunk."

Xiaomi immediately sat upright, and with a playful smile, she also brought some food for her mother: "Mother, don't be angry, I'm just talking casually."

After a burst of laughter, everyone sat down to eat, said auspicious words of blessings, ate rich and delicious meals, and drank rice wine, feeling very happy.

"By the way, Dad, our fish pond is not small. Anyway, there are not many ducks and geese. Why don't we build a shed next to the fish pond and raise the ducks and geese there in the future."

The fish pond with an area of ​​more than one mu is nearly [-] square meters.

According to the original plan, the water depth is 1.5 meters to [-] meters, and it is completely possible to raise fish in the water and ducks in the water.

Due to their different living habits, ducks and geese generally lay eggs in the morning and evening, and fewer lay eggs in broad daylight.

But there are a few exceptions, the eggs are laid in the water, if the nest is on the edge of the pond, they shouldn't mind swimming a few more times, right?
In the past, the fish pond in Fu'an Village was relatively deep, but the area was not large. At that time, the main purpose was to dig water sources, but now this one is deliberately dug wide and large.

And the middle is not too deep. While the water is still shallow, you can make a few nests for laying eggs in the water, use bamboo to drain them in the water, and tie them to the surrounding stones with ropes, which is also convenient for ducks and geese to lay eggs.

Xiaomi twittered about his thoughts and didn't forget to eat.

Tonight's New Year's Eve dinner has a lot more seafood than usual. Erniang soaked scallops and dried squid yesterday. The scallops can not only be cooked with millet porridge, but can also be cooked directly after soaking.

In addition, kelp was added to the stewed pork ribs, and in the afternoon, I soaked prawns and braised them in soy sauce.

Jiang Hu listened to Xiaomi's thoughts and thought about it seriously.

Recently they stopped driving the ducks and geese to the village pond, it was a bit far after all.

"If you directly change the duck shed to the pond, it will save you the time to go out every morning and come back in the afternoon."

"That's right, that's right, just go pick up the duck eggs when the time comes."

Jiang Hu smiled: "Then listen to Xiaomi. We will find someone in a few days. Basically, everyone will be busy in the fourth day of junior high school."

Although the Chinese New Year really lasts for 15 days, the Chinese New Year will not be completely over until after the Lantern Festival on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, but in fact, there is so much time to rest every day.

At home on the first day of the first lunar month, children will pay New Year's greetings everywhere.

In the second and third grades of junior high school, I usually go back to my natal home, or wait for the married sisters and daughters to come back.

From the fourth day of junior high school, it doesn't matter so much. Those who want to leave relatives visit relatives. If there are relatives, they will entertain them. If there are no relatives, they will continue to work in the field.

The long-term workers in their family all started working on the fourth day of junior high school.

Jiang Hu wanted to let them go for a few more days, but after asking, they all expressed their willingness to come over on the fourth day of junior high school and earn a few more days' wages.

Now that we talked about fish ponds, we talked about fish farming. Jiang Hu planned to go to Yang Shulin tomorrow, and asked him to talk to his uncle about fishing when he returned to Yue's house in the second year of junior high school.

The water level in the fish pond is more than one foot deep, and the fish can be released slowly.

Uncle Yang Shulin fishes almost every day, especially during Chinese New Year, when many people buy fish, let alone restaurants.

But those people only want big fish, and small fish only want crucian carp, or the kind of small fish that are small, finger-sized and not big.

Like grass carp and carp, the bigger the better.

Usually, when there are small fish in fishing, they are put back into the lake, and now they can be sent directly to them. Anyway, it is not enough to catch enough small fish in a day or two, so I put them in first.

The fact that Xiaomi threw lotus seeds into the fish pond was not hidden from her parents, of course, it cannot be hidden.

As for whether it can grow to such a deep water surface in the future, or whether the lotus root at the bottom of the water can be produced, we will talk about it at that time.

If it doesn't work, just the lotus seeds and leaves, not the lotus root.

Xiaomi has thought about finding some water-savvy ones and digging directly into the water to pick them. Satisfaction is a bit slower, but they can still be picked.

Moreover, the lotus roots are mature, and they can usually be picked in September and October, and it is not too cold. If you pay more wages and pay attention to safety, you can basically make some money.

But this kind of thing, we will talk about it later, after all, there is no river in Xiangmu Village, and many people don't know how to swim.

There is a small pot of charcoal fire under the table, and the family chats and eats without worrying about the food getting cold. After eating, they light a fire in the courtyard and keep watch until midnight.

When the faint sound of firecrackers was heard in the distance, Jiang Hu also quickly took the firecrackers prepared by the Liu family. After a while of crackling, the new year began.
