Chapter 26

The following days were uneventful. Every morning I fished for duckweed, cut fish grass, combed fruits, and picked tips.

In summer, the duckweed in the pond grows very fast, and now more than 1000 catties of duckweed are caught a day.

After feeding the fish every day, I started to comb the fruits and pick summer shoots.

It's a busy mid-June.

The fertile citrus grove of the terraced fields, the top of the mountain, Chen Mo combed the last fruit tree, sat down and lit a cigarette.

Xiao Hei lay on the ground and looked at Chen Mo.

It should be the reason why it is often given spiritual springs. Xiao Hei grows very fast and is still fluffy now, but it already weighs 37 catties.

Just weighed it this morning.

"Are you done?" Father Chen shouted from the hillside.

"It's done." Chen Mo said.

"Go to the mountains and see if there are any fungi."

Now the chicken fir is starting to come out, but because there is no heavy rain and the land is still dry, there are very few chicken fir in the mountains.Even if there is, it's not that big.

Chicken fir is expensive now, and there are vendors in Qingshan Town who are collecting it. Guduo chicken fir costs about 1 yuan per catty.If you sell it in the city by yourself, it is estimated...at least 350 more than 400 catty.

As for online prices, they are even more expensive.

Chen Mo put out his cigarette, patted Xiao Hei and got up, and went to take a look at several chicken coops nearby.These chicken conong nests have not grown any chicken conongs this year...

Still not this time.

We have to wait for a heavy rain. A few days after the heavy rain, there will be more chicken fir trees.

Came to a chicken fir nest in the woods next to the orchard.

This is a big nest. Last year, Chen Mo seemed to pick up chicken firs every time he came here.Sometimes there are two or three flowers, and sometimes there are seven or eight flowers.

If there is chicken fir, there is a large termite nest underneath.

I went over and took a look and saw that there were two chicken bones as thick as my thumbs.Chen Mo dug out the chicken fir and didn't keep it.

It's already past three in the afternoon. If these chicken fir trees had not been dug, they would still look like bones. But if they come here tomorrow, they will most likely be broken.

After digging the chicken conong, Chen Mo did not go into the mountain.

There are few fungus now, and there is no big harvest in the mountains.

When I got home, there were still a few small bones in the refrigerator. These bacteria can make a bowl of soup at night.

Chen Mo turned on the tablet, connected to the phone's WIFI, and searched for 'Donglin weather forecast'.

According to the weather forecast, there will still be light rain frequently in Donglin.But I don’t know where the light rain went.

Today is the 17th.

In June, there was only one light rain here in the orchard, and the dirt roads were not even wet.

Mom and dad are back.

Mom looked at Chen Mo: "Hurry up and take a shower."

"immediately."

Dad looked over and took a look: "Look at the weather forecast?"

"See if there will be heavy rain in the next few days." Chen Mo said.

"Do you have?"

"The weather forecast said there will be thunderstorms in the next few days." Chen Mo got up and went back to the house, took new clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

The navel oranges have entered the expansion stage and need water.If there isn't a heavy rainstorm later, water will have to be pumped for irrigation again.

Today’s navel oranges are almost as big as a table tennis ball.

Over there in the orchard, there is nothing going on in the back. What needs to be paid attention to is drought prevention.

Chen Mo went back to the room, lying on the bed with the electric fan blowing on it, and playing vibrato when Zhang Cheng called.

"Brother Chen Mo."

"What's the matter?" Chen Mo said.

"I picked up some cockfighting mushrooms, the big ones, I'll bring you two." Zhang Cheng said.

"Where did you get it?"

"The cornfield outside my house."

"No need, you can keep it for yourself. I get bacteria every day." Chen Mo said with a smile.

In the past few days, I have indeed picked up fungi every day, but those fungi are too small.Basically, they are all bone dimples, which are as big as the thumb, or not as big as the thumb.

"Okay, then I'll keep it for myself. Have you got the rice field eel over there? I want to eat rice field eel." Zhang Cheng said.

"Come here to catch it tonight, or come here tomorrow to get it." Chen Mo said.

"Then I'll go there at night."

"Okay." After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo continued to scan Douyin.

About twenty minutes later, Chen Mo heard the sound of the car and went out to take a look.

"Come here so quickly." Chen Mo saw Zhang Cheng coming over and said with a smile.

"Bring two fungus over here." Zhang Cheng carried a pocket with two open umbrellas of chicken fir, which were quite big: "Today I picked up 5, and left 3 for my parents."

Chen Mo said 'hmm', took the chicken back and put it in the refrigerator, then went to find the ground cage: "Go and get off the ground cage."

"Getting off now?"

"Now, I'll catch the eels in the evening and collect them later. Go dig some earthworms." Chen Mo went to show off: "Why are you back today?"

"There's no more work to do, and I'm going to play at home for a while." Zhang Cheng said.

"Nowadays, chicken fir fungus is expensive, with an open umbrella costing about 400. Without an open umbrella, it costs more than 1 per kilogram." Chen Mo said: "There seems to be a lot of chicken fir fungus in the corn fields over there. When nothing happens, It’s okay to pick up some chicken fir trees and sell them.”

"Three or four hundred and one catty, take it to sell in the city?" Zhang Chengdao.

"There are people in town who collect chicken fir trees."

"There are so few chicken firs now. I picked up five today." Zhang Cheng said.

"Wuduo is pretty good. I think that head is quite big."

"Godfather, godmother." Zhang Cheng shouted when he saw Chen Mo's parents approaching.

Father Chen responded with a smile: "Didn't you go fishing?"

"It's no fun to go fishing alone. Ask my brother to go fishing together, and he doesn't have time." Zhang Cheng said.

Father Chen smiled: "I'm going to eat here tonight, I'm going back to cook."

"it is good."

"Zhang Cheng brought two chicken fir flowers over, so you can make chicken fir soup." Chen Mo.

Father Chen and the others went back.

"Godfather and godmother live here now?" Zhang Cheng asked.

Chen Mo let out an 'um' and yawned: "There are a lot of things going on in the orchard during this time."

"You can raise some chickens and ducks here," Zhang Cheng said.

"How can I have so much energy? Raising these fish now is enough to give me a headache."

Raise chickens, forget it.Raising chickens is troublesome...

If you don't raise fish, you can raise geese and ducks in this orchard.

The main thing is to raise geese. The price of geese is not bad, and geese eat grass very well.To raise geese in the orchard, you only need to feed very little refined grain.

But keep fish.

Moreover, the profit of fish farming here is high, but it is tiring.

Dig up the earthworms.

Use earthworms as bait, and put the ground cages in the ditch and the duckweed pond respectively.

Two duckweed ponds, one ground cage is placed in each pond, mainly to see if there are many eels in it.

The remaining three ground cages are placed in the water storage ditch.

During this time, the water level of the storage ditch was less than half a meter deep.When the weather is hot, ricefield eels will come out to look for food at night. It is best to catch ricefield eels around nine o'clock.

After placing the ground cage, we walked along the field beside the ditch, and when we were about to reach the fish pond: "Brother." Zhang Cheng shouted softly.

"What."

"Look there." Zhang Cheng saw a rice field eel hole, with the head of the rice field eel sticking out.That head is as big as a small egg.

"You know how to catch eels?" Chen Mo asked.

Zhang Cheng shook his head: "No."

"Then wait until we come out at night and use a clip to clamp it."
