Reborn in the red years, I am farming in space

Chapter 42 Start breeding

"Boom--"

"Crack clap-"

The lightning in the distance was like a silver snake scurrying in the dark clouds, and the muffled thunder rolled over the top of the mountain and rolled down from the orange grove halfway up the mountain.

Seeing a heavy rain is coming.

This forced Luo Xuan, who was busy catching eels in the rice fields, to rush home.

It seems that I will not be able to catch eels tonight.

Luo Xuan could only hope that it would not rain tomorrow, otherwise he would have to delay his work for another day.

Just when he ran back to his courtyard gate, he saw a figure turning around and leaving the fenced courtyard gate.

"Hey, who is it?"

Since there was a guest coming, Luo Xuan had no choice but to say hello to them.

Hearing Luo Xuan's voice, the figure turned around and walked back.

Amidst the thunder and lightning, it was not clear who it was for a while.

It's just that the lightning shone on the person, and the long hair and pale face made people feel a little creepy!

Luo Xuan lost his courage, and when he got closer, he found that the person was Dai Hongmei.

"Hey, sister Hongmei, what are you doing in this place where I don't want to shit?"

Luo Xuan held the fish basket in one hand, pushed open the courtyard door with the other, and asked her sideways, "Sister Hongmei, come in for a drink?"

Dai Hongmei chuckled: "Do you have a kettle at home, or an antimony pot? You don't even have a bucket. What do you get me to drink?"

Luo Xuan smiled embarrassedly, not daring to answer her words.

"Here, I brought you a pair of small buckets and a shoulder pole."

Through the fence, Dai Hongmei pointed to the pair of water buckets in the yard and said, "That was used by my brother when he was a child. Now that he has joined the army, I am also an adult. I don't need this kind of small water bucket. You can use it first." Bar."

Her elder brother, Dai Jun, is now the only active soldier in the entire 6th production team and is away from home all year round.

Luo Xuan thanked Dai Hongmei, pointed to the silver snakes scurrying in the sky, and said, "It's going to rain soon, Miss Hongmei."

Dai Hongmei is a little widow.

He is a young man again, Luo Xuan is reminding her: You should go back.
"Pfft-"

Dai Hongmei stretched out her leg and gave Luo Xuan a light kick, and cursed with a smile: "I'm a big kid! It's okay, it's going to rain tonight, and I'll lend you the big net bag that my brother used to use at home to get fish and shrimp tomorrow!" "

Few households in the production team have nylon nets in their homes. Even if they want to catch fish, they still use bamboo "chicken covers" and dustpans as tools for catching fish.

This kind of bamboo weaving tool is very inefficient in catching fish.

Dai Hongmei's brother used to like catching eels, loaches, fish, shrimp, turtles and crabs.

So her family has a pair of such good net bags.

Luo Xuan thanked Dai Hongmei, but he didn't dare to ask her to come in, so he stood at the gate of the courtyard and laughed a few times, waiting for her to move.

"Okay, the things are delivered to you, and I'll go back."

Said, Dai Hongmei smiled at Luo Xuan, turned and left.

just.

Because when she smiled, a bright lightning flashed in the air.

Pale and pale face, white teeth, long hair blown by the wind
Luo Xuan was so scared that he peed his pants on the spot!
After sending Dai Hongmei away, Luo Xuan took off the net bag hanging on the bamboo fence wall, and went back to the house to hide from the rain.

There are many heavy rains in summer.

Once there is a heavy rain, floods will erupt in the entire Zhengxing canals, rice field breaches, and creeks.

And at this time, it is a good time to take a dustpan fishing net and go to the ditches and the crevasses of the rice fields to catch fish.

You may not believe it.

During this period, although the catch was easy to catch, not many people were willing to do such a thing.

Everyone has no oil at home, which is one of the reasons.

Every month, an adult's rapeseed oil quota is only two or eight cents, which is not enough for future generations to cook a dish of food.

Because there is no oil, it is difficult to make those small miscellaneous fish, small crucian carp, loach and snail delicious.

For things like snails and mussels, if they are boiled instead of stir-fried, their meat will become very chewy and hard to bite.

However, there is no oil to fry the small miscellaneous fish, and the cooked small miscellaneous fish will rot into fish soup, not to mention not tasty, and it is easy to get stuck by fish bones.

There is another very important reason why people are unwilling to fish for small miscellaneous fish, horse shrimp, snails and river mussels to eat: our bodies generally lack oil and water.

This makes everyone not have enough physical strength to do these nosy things.

If members go out to catch fish and shrimp, the physical exertion they need to pay is often far higher than the energy consumption that these catches can provide to the human body.

In the water.

The body temperature of the human body is lost quickly, but eating horse shrimp and miscellaneous fish does not make people replenish much energy.

Few people are willing to do things that are not worth the candle.

at this period.

Members have to work during the day, and from time to time at night they have to gather together to "study" or attend "literacy classes".

When there is a little slack in farming, the commune members don't go to the villages and counties to work as "volunteers".

It is to do the winter farmland water conservancy construction organized by the brigade and the production team. How can the members have so much physical strength and energy to catch fish and shrimp?

Compared with the protein that these catches can provide, in fact, what the members need more is to supplement nutrients such as starch, sugar, and vitamins.

Eat those horse shrimps and miscellaneous fish?
In the words of the members of the production team: the more you eat, the hungrier you get, and the more you eat, the more you get sick!

Therefore, compared to going down the river to catch fish, people are more inclined to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and fruits to eat.

Among the seafood in the river, only the bigger carp and grass carp are the members of the community who are a little interested. Occasionally, they go to get one and cook some fish soup for drinking.

There are actually quite a few big carp and big grass carp in streams and ponds in this era.

It's just that many people can only look at the fish in the creek, spitting bubbles leisurely there, but most of them can only stare blankly.

Because everyone is seriously lacking fishing tools.After all, there are very few people who can catch fish with bare hands.

The nets made of nylon chemical fibers are very expensive, and the members of the commune may not be able to save enough money to buy a pair after a year of frugality.

——Even if you buy it back, it will be a big trouble to buy it back!

Today Zhang San came to borrow it, and tomorrow Li Si said that there was no cooking at home and he wanted to use it.
They are all neighbors, relatives.

So should we not borrow it, or should we not lend it to them?
Left and right are offenders.

Over time, everyone has no intention of buying these things.

Luo Xuan only caught a few eels tonight, so he had to run home to hide from the rain.

When it rains outside in summer nights, there are more mosquitoes in the house, buzzing, buzzing, and the horse fleas are lying on the bamboo bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

It's raining heavily tonight, and Xiaocao will definitely not come to visit the house in the rain, so I don't have to prepare meals for her tonight.

Luo Xuan used his hand as a pillow, staring blankly at the roof that was shaken by lightning like monsters of various shapes.

The bamboo bed was carried by Mrs. Zhang and the third sister-in-law in the afternoon.

Luo Xuan was not at home at that time, the two of them put the bed in the yard and went back on their own.

Luo Xuan dragged the bamboo bed into the room, spread fresh straw on the bamboo bed, and then put a half-new and old straw mat given to him by Aunt Zhang on top of the straw, and a simple bed was ready.

Others made a bamboo bed for themselves, and in two days they will send over bamboo tables, bamboo chairs and the like.

Luo Xuan originally wanted to thank him well.

It's a pity that I was busy all day, so I didn't bother to go to Dai Hongmei's consignment store, buy two packs of cigarettes, and send them to San Niangzi's husband and Uncle Zhang.

Think about it,
Luo Xuan felt that if he bought cigarettes to give away to others, he might as well wait until the frog market opened the day after tomorrow, sell the eels himself, and then find a way to buy some deboned meat back.

At that time, I will send some meat to the third sister-in-law and Aunt Zhang's family separately as a thank you gift.

That would be more realistic.

Lying on the bed and thinking about it for a long time, the mosquitoes became more and more rampant at this time.

Luo Xuan was so disturbed that he had no choice but to step into the space and prepare to sow corn and rice in the field.

These two days.

As soon as Luo Xuan has some time, he will enter the space to farm.

But these days there are a lot of chores, now Luo Xuan only has time to plant carrots and white radishes.

Green peppers, rice seeds, and corn need to be bred. They cannot be buried directly in the soil like white radish seeds.

There are several bowls in the space, which are filled with the seeds of Luoxuanpao.

Picking up the rough porcelain bowl and taking a closer look, the rice seeds soaked in warm water have not changed much, only a little spores have emerged.

Although the rice seeds germinate faster in the space than outside, this progress is far from satisfying Luo Xuan.

Luo Xuan knows a little bit about the method of "greenhouse seedling raising" in later generations.

But now I don't have a film on hand, so I can't build a greenhouse.

Luo spun out of the space to find some straw, and then started to build a soil method greenhouse.

The shed built with straw is opaque, and the growth speed of seeds in it is definitely not as fast as that of raising seedlings in plastic greenhouses.

This kind of opaque soil greenhouse needs to remove the cover from time to time to allow the seeds inside to receive light.

In this way, the temperature in the greenhouse will drop, thereby slowing down the germination speed of the seeds.

Build a small greenhouse with straw, spread soil and sawdust on the grass mat, and then evenly spread rice seeds and pepper seeds on it.

The casserole is then filled with water and covered with a perforated wooden lid.

And a bamboo pole with the bamboo joints pierced through was used by Luo Xuan as a water pipe to drain the water vapor in the casserole into the straw shed.

This kind of simple steam equipment has high energy consumption and high water vapor loss rate, but the advantage is that it does not cost money.

Luo Xuan plans to rely on this most primitive equipment to germinate rice and pepper seeds to speed up their growth.

As for the corn seeds, Luo Xuan dug a long shallow pit on the ground, and pressed the seeds into the soil one by one.

A simple shed is built with bamboo strips on top to increase the temperature inside the pit.

After working for a while, resting for a while, after working for a long time, Luo Xuan finally finished these things, and then left the space with peace of mind.

Then, amidst the entanglement of countless mosquitoes and flies, slowly fell asleep.
