Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 76 76 The unexpected harvest after the rain

Dashu and Mufeng watched the pouring rain, thinking about the heavy rain, they didn't need to do anything, so they squeezed into the cave to sleep for a while.

A torrential downpour lasted for an hour, until dawn the rain subsided and the weather became very cool.

Thinking of the heavy rain in the early morning, Yao Xiaoqing was worried about the eruption of mountain torrents, so he said to Yaohu: "Father, I will go down the mountain to see if the water in the ditch has overflowed to the open space."

Yaohu stopped her, "It's still raining, you wait at home, Father and Uncle Dashi have a look."

"Okay!" Yao Xiaoqing watched several people rushing into the rain and fog, and then realized that he forgot to get a few straw hats to keep out the sun and rain.

Yaohu took the boulder down the mountain, and looked at the water inlet under the wall at the foot of the mountain. The water was indeed much stronger, and the water coming up was still some distance away from the bottom of the wall.

Going further down, I found that the water in several ponds had overflowed to the outside, and there were big fish swimming in the ditch.

Several people walked to the fence under the wall facing the river, and heard the fish stirring up the water in the ditch.

Yaohu looked at the big fish in the ditch and said, "It seems that those small fish have all got out through the gaps in the fence, and the big fish are blocked by the fence."

Dashi pointed at a group of big cyan fish that were four or five feet long, and laughed loudly, "Haha! Look at that big fish, I'll go down and catch it, and take it back to chop fish balls for eating."

The bull shouted: "You catch it first, I will go back and get a net to fish."

Yaohu smiled and waved, "Go! Bring down a basket by the way."

The bull nodded and ran up the mountain. The big stone and the spear jumped into the ditch with a smile. The two of them aimed at the target, opened their five claws, and caught a big blue fish with a sudden move.

The big herring struggled desperately in the water, and the water splashed all over the faces of the two of them. The two laughed loudly, grabbed it and threw it to the shore.

After a while, several big fish were caught and thrown to the shore.

Seeing that they were having a lot of fun, Yaohu also jumped down, and the three big men were bouncing in the ditch.

Yao Xiaoqing, Xiong Niu, Zhu and Mu Feng carried baskets, nets and fish cages to the side of the ditch.She looked at the big fish on the shore and felt that the big ones weighed at least ten or twenty catties.

This kind of fish is not the same species as the one caught in the pond a few days ago. It looks like grass carp, and the color is a little different.

Say it looks like a big herring in the river!Looking carefully, she still feels a little different. She thinks it may be that the evolution time is not enough, so it looks different.

Mufeng and Zhu lowered the fish cage to the water outlet, went ashore and caught a big herring four or five feet long, and said with a smile: "Xiaoqing, the biggest pond must be very deep, and these big fish must be hiding at the bottom of the water. I never caught it."

"It should be, this fish must taste good after taking it back and chopping fish balls."

As Yao Xiaoqing was talking, he suddenly thought of sauerkraut fish, and thought of going back to pickle a jar of sauerkraut with the kind of wild vegetables that Shan Amu and the others just found, which are somewhat similar to Xiaoqingcai. When the peppers are red, they can cook sauerkraut fish.

There are also taro, there are so many taro stalks in the field, I will cut some taro stalks later, dry some, pickle some, and add vegetables when there are no vegetables in winter.

Mu Feng and Xiong Niu also jumped into the ditch to catch fish. After about an hour, they caught all the big fish in the ditch.

I counted them, and there were twenty or thirty pieces, the small ones weighed about ten catties, and the big ones weighed at least 20 catties.Put them into two baskets respectively, and several people carried them back.

The rain stopped and the sun broke through the clouds.Mu Feng pointed to the sky and shouted: "Xiaoqing, look."

Yao Xiaoqing looked up and saw a rainbow hanging in the sky, "What a beautiful rainbow."

Dashi said to Yaohu: "Leader, let's start tomorrow. The colorful long bridge is a good omen."

Yaohu smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's a good sign."

Everyone put down the baskets, looked at the rainbow quietly, and made admiring voices from time to time. They didn't lift up the baskets until the rainbow dispersed, and walked back.

The people on the mountain laughed happily when they saw the two baskets of big fish they brought back.

Uncle Chong laughed and said, "There are still two fish cages, and I will put them in the river later."

After hearing this, Yun Amu laughed and said: "Three fish cages can bring back a lot of food. There are two big cans of dried river prawns, and those dried fishes are all hung on the shelves."

Leopard Amu laughed after hearing this, "Ayun, you still think you have too much food!"

"The two bamboo sheds are full of food, and I am worried that there is no place to put them." Yun'am feels that there are too many things and no place to put them, which is also a sweet burden.

Yaohu waved his hand, "Don't be afraid, when we move down the mountain, there will be room for more food."

"Breakfast is ready, everyone hurry up and eat." Shan Amu and the others have already prepared breakfast, deer bone wild vegetable soup, leek kudzu root powder cake.

I couldn't go out to hunt on rainy days, and unexpectedly caught two baskets of big fish. A group of people happily sat around and had breakfast.

Muya and Big Amu hid in the cave but no one was there.No one asked them to eat food, and the three of Muba shared their pancakes for the two of them.

Mu Ya took the pancake without saying a word, and took a bite.

Muba stuffed the pancakes into their hands, turned around and walked out.

After the men were full, they wiped their mouths and went down the mountain to work with their tools.

Yao Xiaoqing said to Shan'am: "Amu, at home, wash the vegetables you picked yesterday and hang them on the fence to dry."

"I plant some in the ground, and wash the rest?" said Shanam.

"That's right, Eminem, if you find good wild vegetables in the future, don't pick all of them. Leave some and wait for it to bear fruit. Collect them and plant them yourself."

Everyone nodded, "We know."

Yao Xiaoqing gave Hua a few words, took taro and A Su, and went down the mountain to cut taro stalks with a bamboo knife and a basket.

Hua and Shan'am go into the cave to get rattan, and see Muya and Da'am sitting there eating pancakes.

The two came out holding the cane, Shan Amu sneered and said: "They are not from the Yaoshan tribe anymore, so I am ashamed to eat the food from the Yaoshan tribe."

Hua persuaded: "Mum, Xiaoqing knew about it. She said that for Muba's sake, don't pay attention to them. Let's take care of the things in the yard and don't let them go down the mountain."

Leopard's mother smiled and said: "I tell you, they will regret it in the future. Don't I know about the Dawu tribe? My mother is from the Dawu tribe. It is the same as Yaoshan. They have to go out to collect food every day. will be beaten."

Hua smiled, "Never mind her! It's all self-inflicted, and I can't blame anyone!"

Mu Ya stood at the entrance of the cave, listening to the women who were washing dishes by the sink talking about her, and was so angry that she almost rushed over to argue with them.

Big Ah Mu hurried forward and dragged her back, yelling in a low voice: "You still go to provoke them, don't you think you won't have food all day today?"

Mu Ya remembered how it felt when she was hungry last night, so she had to lower her head and follow her back.

Shan Amu and the others killed the fish, pierced the fish fat and strung them up to dry.Fish intestines and fish liver filled a pot full.

One big fish is left to be chopped into fish paste and set aside, while the others are salted in wooden barrels.
