Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 9

After hearing this, Wang Manyin couldn't help feeling that the wisdom of the working people is infinite.

To be honest, he really didn't know how the yeast was made.People in later generations steamed steamed buns with yeast powder directly, which is simple and trouble-free.

Unexpectedly, the method of making old yeast is surprisingly simple.

When making Wowotou, leave a ball of dough, according to the method of making steamed buns, wrap some raw flour inside the dough, put it in a cool place to let it expand slowly and dry, this is the old yeast head.

When steaming Wowotou next time, split the dough and soak it in warm water, then add flour to make noodle soup, let it ferment for about a day, and then pour it into cornmeal to make Wowotou.

If you make a lot of old yeast, as long as you put it in a dry place, it will not go bad for half a year.

Wang Qiusheng was still rushing to earn work points, chatted a few words, and then hurried home for dinner.

After sending Wang Qiusheng away, Wang Manyin filled a bowl of noodle soup and squatted at the mouth of the cave with a pancake to eat.Of course, he didn't forget the rhubarb, and threw a pancake as usual, and poured half a bowl of noodle soup to finish the job.

Erhe noodle pancakes are mixed with more than half of the corn grits, which are hard to eat, delicious to chew, and very hungry.

After eating, Wang Manyin buried a sweet potato under the stove as usual.

Then he started meeting... With the memory of his previous life, he did these things very smoothly.

The reason why Wang Manyin is called a bum is mainly because he is too lazy.But as a rural person, I still know how to cook and do farm work, otherwise I would have starved to death.

Now that the outside temperature is relatively low, Wang Manyin put the noodles into the space.The temperature inside is high, and it should be easier to ferment.

For the next few days, he spent most of his time busy in the space.

Now that we have decided to raise fish on a large scale, the ponds are not enough at present.However, he did not intend to expand on the original basis, but to dig a new one at the other end of the yellow land.

The two ponds are in the shape of dumbbells, connected by a ditch in the middle to facilitate irrigation of the surrounding loess land.

In addition, Wang Manyin is also planning to dig two cross-shaped ditches to run through the three acres of land.

However, this is a large project and it will take at least half a year to complete.

In addition, Wang Manyin collected a lot of grass seeds from the outside world one after another, and dug a lot of Vitex twigs and alfalfa roots and planted them on both sides of the ditches.

Looking around now, there is a large expanse of greenery spreading in the space, with some wild flowers mixed in it.There are two completely different worlds from the gray loess plateau outside.

With so many weeds, it is enough to feed fifty chickens.During the period, Wang Manyin took advantage of the fair and went to the Pigeon Market in Shigejie Commune.

This time I was unlucky and only got one hen.

It seems that if you want to buy more native chickens in a short time, you can only go a long way to Mijia Town.

What made Wang Manyin even more gratified was that the fish fry in the pond grew at a gratifying speed, almost changing every day, and the first few carp were about three or two in weight.

Looking at the momentum, it is estimated that it will take up to two months to sell on the black market.

In addition, Wang Manyin's recent fish-catching operations have not stopped.

Last time, the cliffside was far away from the dirt road, and the location was relatively hidden, and almost no one went there.

After he got off the earthen pot, he didn't have to pay attention to it, he just collected it the next day.

On the first day, two crock pots and three fish,
Waiting for the next day, there is only one...

However, Wang Manyin had no choice but to give up because of the air force for several days.It can only be said that there are indeed very few fish in the Dongla River, and the waters have basically been caught.

It just so happened that he was going to go to the Pigeon Market in Mijia Town to buy local chickens, and he was going to take advantage of the trend to search further downstream along the Dongla River.

It's not far from the Wuding River there, and more fry will definitely be found.

Mijia Town is about [-] miles away from Guanzi Village, and the round trip is [-] miles, which is too much time in a day.

So Wang Manyin planned to stay in Mijia Town for one day and return the next day.

As for the place to sleep... There are several acres of land in the space, as long as the quilt is placed, it is enough for him to sleep.

Wang Manyin originally planned to keep Rhubarb as a housekeeper, but this guy followed him stubbornly, saying that he couldn't be turned back.

Helpless, I had to take it with me.

Anyway, all the valuable things at home are placed in the space, and there is nothing in the cave, so I am not afraid of being missed by thieves.

Due to the abundance of time, Wang Manyin did not rush on his way.Instead, take the rhubarb and take it slow, just like a mountain tour.Having said that, in this season, there is really nothing to see on the Loess Plateau.

Except for the gray hills, there are still hills.

By noon, he had walked more than 20 miles along the Dongla River.

Now the sun is shining overhead, and the temperature on the mountain plateau is also rising.

Without wasting time, Wang Manyin found a puddle with aquatic plants and began to put fishing pots.In order to catch more fish fry, he specially prepared ten earthen pots, and dug up the earthworm bait last night.

After the earthen pots were put away, it was still early, so Wang Manyin put on his gloves and cut firewood on the edge of the cliff with a sickle for lunch.

Because it is close to the water source, this cliff is covered with wormwood, wattle, and jujube branches. In about half an hour, Wang Manyin cut a large bundle.

I originally planned to stop, but then I thought that there was not much firewood at home, so I just continued to work.

By the time he rested for lunch, there were already three large bundles of firewood in the space, enough for him to use for a week.

This time out, Wang Manyin also moved the iron pot into the space.Some time ago, I specially made a loess stove with mud mixed with thatch, which is naturally much more convenient for cooking.

A pot of vegetable and egg soup, plus two Erhe noodles steamed buns.

As usual, the rhubarb was arranged, and Wang Manyin started to dry it himself with a bowl.

After a short rest after dinner, he began to collect fishing cans.

This time it was placed for too long, and the first crock gave Wang Manyin a big surprise.

There are more than a dozen fish fry, large and small. In addition to common fish such as wheat ear and crucian carp, two yellow catfish were harvested by accident.

This thing is also called yellow spicy diced fish and yellow bone fish. The wild ones are generally not big, at most ten centimeters long.

However, its meat is delicate and delicious.Moreover, there is only one spine thorn from the beginning to the end, which is very convenient to handle, and can be fried, fried, or stewed.

The only thing that needs to be careful is that the pectoral and dorsal fin rays of the yellow catfish are poisonous, and it is very painful to sting people.

After finishing the first earthen pot, Wang Manyin went to the next place to get busy...

After all the ten fishing pots were retracted, there were hundreds of fish fry in the space pond.

After winning the first battle, Wang Manyin took Rhubarb and continued to search downstream.

In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, he also stayed away from the surrounding villages when he chose the water area where the crock pots were placed.

Maybe the weather turned cold in the afternoon, so not many fry were caught this time, only more than 60.

Even so, Wang Manyin was satisfied.

By the time the earthen pot was put into the puddle for the third time, the sun was already setting, and the wind on the edge of the cliff was extremely hard.

Even with Wang Manyin's body, he was shivering from the cold.

He simply reached out and stroked the dog's head, first patting it to show comfort.

After these days of contact, Rhubarb completely lost his guard against him, did not resist, and responded with a deep voice.

Immediately, one person and one dog entered the space.

"Woof..." Seeing the sudden change in the foreground, Rhubarb immediately puffed up his fur and let out a panicked cry.

With this guy's IQ, he obviously wouldn't understand what happened.

After a while, it realized that there was no danger here, and became bold again. It took advantage of the opportunity to raise its legs and urinated nearby, leaving a mark.

Then, this guy let go of his joy and ran wildly on the yellow land.

After working non-stop for a whole day, he finally relaxed at night, so Wang Manyin naturally wanted to reward him.

It happened that the four hens laid two new eggs and fried them at night.

It is said that Wang Manyin has been raising native chickens for more than ten days. Up to now, he has not saved a single egg, and has eaten all of them.

In addition, fry another fish to make fish soup... The first few crucian carp fry have grown to the size of a palm, barely enough to eat.
