Chapter 64 You can get as much as you want (throw the monthly ticket over!)

Lu Miao's lips pursed, and the corners of her lips drooped slightly downwards. She was a little discouraged, and the heat that had just been swept away by the breeze also enveloped her heart again, making her whole person feel very depressed and hot.

Lu Miao groaned and tugged at the wild wormwood on the side of the road, stepping on the dirt bumps on the path and kicking them, which was already a sign of unhappiness.

Fu Jingyou turned around and saw that although her face was tense, her eyes were staring at the lake on one side very seriously, and he guessed what she was looking for:
"I usually go out early. They are everywhere in rivers and lakes. If you really want to catch them, they are actually very easy."

"You know what I'm looking for?"

Fu Jingyou was confused, "It's not the king... isn't it looking for turtles?"

"I'm looking for turtles!" Lu Miao shook his head and nodded, scanning the surroundings and said, "But you mean turtles are everywhere, why didn't I see any?"

Fu Jingyou raised his strong chin towards the big black cow in front, "This is not a cow walking in front."

And it’s not too early now. The dew is almost dry. Even if there are no cows walking ahead to disturb the grass and the temperature rises, those tortoises who climbed ashore at night to get some air will almost all go back into the water and hide under the water plants. The shade is gone.

Catching a bastard is really a very small matter. Fu Jingyou didn't want Lu Miao to worry about this matter anymore, so she coaxed in a soft voice:
"Okay, let's go, I've caught all the turtles."

"Have you caught him? How did you catch him?" Lu Miao looked back and trotted after him, "Didn't you just come back? Why didn't I know when you were caught?"

"This morning."

"This morning?"

"Ah."

Lu Miao remembered it and said, "No wonder when we met, I saw your trouser legs were wet!"

Fu Jingyou smiled teasingly and didn't care. "Besides the turtle, there are some other things. I'm not sure if I can eat them. You can see them later."

Lu Miao nodded, but still curiously asked: "What are they?"

"ocean……"

"Haizi" in the local dialect refers to crab. Afraid that Lu Miao wouldn't understand, Fu Jingyou paused and then said:
"There are a few crabs, as well as loaches and eels. There are also a few big and small Huang Yatou."

Lu Miao saw crabs in the lake just now, but they were very small, no bigger than a thumb at most.

In her mind, a crab of this size must be inedible.

As for the loach and eel, as long as they are not too small, you can cook a decent dish on a plate.

As for the yellow girl, Lu Miao was really frightened. After thinking for a long time, she still didn't understand what the yellow girl was.

Ask Fu Jingyou. Fu Jingyou only said it was a fish with small spines on both sides of the fish's head. He couldn't tell anything else.

Lu Miao had no choice. She had no choice but to suppress her curiosity. She had to go back at noon to see exactly what it was.

While talking, the two walked along the trail for a while. There were not as many lotus leaves growing on the lakeside as in the center of the lake, but they were not absent.

Seeing two tender lotus pods near the shore, Fu Jingyou reached out and picked one.

The other one was a little far away. He leaned over and hooked it with the sickle. After taking it off, he handed it to Lu Miao, not forgetting to say:

"Be careful, there are little thorns on the pole."

Lu Miao pecked at the rice and nodded, excitedly taking it: "Thank you!"

There was still a hint of dew on the surface of the lotus pod. Lu Miao peeled one open and found that the lotus seeds were off-white and the lotus heart was green. She stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it to taste.

Perhaps because the lotus pods were still tender, I didn't taste the bitterness of the lotus seeds, but the sweetness filled my mouth.Lu Miao's eyes were bright, like a greedy child who found his favorite snack and quickly peeled off another one and stuffed it into his mouth.

Seeing her impatient look, Fu Jingyou knew that he had picked the right lotus pod.

"The water here is deep and there are few lotus pods, and there are many wetlands in the working area. The lotus leaves and lotus flowers there are like growing in paddy fields. You can pick as many as you want."

Fu Jingyou brought a sickle, and said that there were many wetlands in the place where he worked, and there were rice fields along the road. Lu Miao was originally confused about what kind of work he was responsible for today, but after hearing this, he gradually understood.

"Are you responsible for cutting rice today?"

Although the rice in the rice field on one side has tassels, it is still green, and it is obviously not time to cut it yet.

Lu Miao asked curiously: "Isn't it too early to cut?"

"No. The millet in this area will have to wait two more days to be harvested. What we are harvesting today is early season rice, which matures earlier than other millet."

Fu Jingyou shook his head. He didn't talk much in the past, so he only had close contact with Lu Miao. As he gradually became familiar with her, he only spoke a few words more.

Seeing Lu Miao's curiosity, he patiently explained a few words:
"The quality and appearance of the early-season rice are not as good as those of the mid-season and late-season rice. The team members are not planting much at every opportunity, and they are not prepared to turn it in as work rations. They keep it for the team points at the end of the year. The members' families are suffering. If you have been here for a year and a half and want to try something new, you can use your work points and money to go back and try it."

Lu Miao nodded and asked, "Is this the same brown rice I changed into in the team?"

Fu Jingyou nodded, and Lu Miao understood what he meant.

The outer shell of brown rice has not been completely faded, and the taste is not only hard to a certain extent, but also a bit dry.

Fu Jingyou was used to eating whole grains. When they ate together before, he ate brown rice and enjoyed it deliciously. But for Lu Miao, it was too much. Brown rice sometimes tasted like chewing dregs to her.

It is especially obvious when steaming in the educated youth spots.

As Fu Jingyou said, the quality and appearance of early-season rice are not as good as those of mid-season and late-season rice. In comparison, excluding the fact that the chaff is not completely removed and the cooking method, the taste of early-season rice should also be inferior.

All kinds of negative buffs have accumulated. For Lu Miao, who is used to eating fragrant rice and polished rice, it's hard to blame her for being picky.

"Where can I buy better rice? The kind with clean chaff removed?"

"Let's go to the grain and oil food station in town. You need a ticket for rice."

The rice sold at the food station is peeled with special shelling equipment. Compared with the rice that is purely manually peeled in the countryside, there is still a big gap.

Fu Jingyou thought for a while, and then added, "But with the limited quota and the grain and oil bills, it's not easy to buy."

Lu Miao raised her eyebrows and pursed her lips, quite dissatisfied with this answer:

"Then there is no other channel?"

Other channels?Of course there is.

Fu Jingyou wanted to say something, but then paused as he thought of something.

After a brief thought, he changed the subject and asked Lu Miao:
"There should be, why, you want it?"

"Ok!"

Lu Miao nodded obediently, and Fu Jingyou looked at her expression. He was about to say that the brown rice in the team was also the best fine grain, but before he could say anything, he heard her murmuring bitterly:

"I don't like the brown rice that the team replaced. I want the kind that is glutinous when cooked and chewy when eaten...Can I buy it, Fu Jingyou? It doesn't matter how much the ticket costs, I don't care!"
