Chapter 223
Sure enough, I heard a short, skinny man shaking his head and saying, "Big girl, how can I eat a snake that I've been catching all day? My brain is full of snakes burrowing into my brain." It came and went. Fortunately, I finished catching, and if I catch it again, I’m afraid I’m going to spit it out.” Catch more than 1000 snakes in one day, which is really too much for people.

As soon as the man's words fell to the ground, everyone followed him and complained, "Yeah, there are so many snakes in this pond, it's too scary." Thinking about it, I just shook my head, I knew there were so many snakes to catch , I won’t come over to help, I still feel uncomfortable after catching the snake.

The middle-aged man who came to the door a few days ago said in a muffled voice: "Don't complain, you are willing to go out to catch snakes in this hot weather, why complain if there are ready-made ones?" It's better to go to the deep mountains and old forests for a few days, and maybe meet those poisonous snakes and beasts, right?

The people in the workshop heard what the boss said, so how dare they complain.In fact, what I said was right, it was better than going to deep mountains and old forests from time to time and not catching many snakes in half a month.Now there are more than 1000 snakes, which is enough to make a lot of wine.I'm afraid I don't have to go to the mountains to catch snakes this year, right?

No one expected that the extremely annoying snake in the fish pond was finally sold for more than 20 taels of silver.But even though they got so much money, Qiulin's family didn't plan to raise snakes in that fish pond. Just thinking about a fish pond full of snakes, everyone would feel their scalps go numb.

How good are the fish and lotus root, the fish are so docile, and the lotus leaves and lotus are so beautiful.It is much better than raising snakes.Of course, this snake was raised by mistake, and it wasn't someone who really wanted to raise a snake.

Drain the fish pond and leave it in the sun for several days, it is considered to be killing bacteria and insects.Only when the mud in the fish pond cracked open did everyone divert the water from the canal into the fish pond.Three days later, the fish pond was green again on one side.

In the past few days, all the children in the family went to fish by the river, and the big fish were eaten directly, and the small fish, shrimp and loaches were not thrown into the fish pond this time, but kept in wooden barrels. Then throw it in the fish pond to feed it!It is too young to catch fish fry now, I am afraid that the fish will not grow many by the end of the year.And the sun is so strong, the fish fry will turn white if they are placed in the pond, and the money will not make a sound when thrown in the water, but it will not be worth it.

Ever since Qiu Song and Mei Xiang got engaged, Mei Xiang didn't come to Qiu Lin's house much to avoid suspicion!There are quite a lot of people in the village who talk like Hua Pozi, who will make a fuss about the slightest thing, and I really can't stand these people.

However, Qiulin and the others went to wash clothes, pulled herbs in the forest, fished in river ponds, etc., and they were still with Mei Xiang and the others, so no one would gossip.

The bully-like uncle and aunt of the Qiulin family was driven away by the villagers, and the fish pond was returned to the Qiulin family. Even the snakes in the fish pond were sold for a lot of money. Mei Xiang was happy for the Qiulin family. , Seeing that they were catching fish and putting them in their own fish ponds, they hurriedly said: "There are also a lot of fish in my fish pond. Why don't you just go to my house to catch fish and put them in yours. My fish pond is smaller than yours. I can’t feed so many fish!” Last time I heard Qiulin say that the fish can only grow big if they are fed properly, otherwise they will be as sallow and emaciated as an underdeveloped person without much meat. .

"How did this happen? Catch the fish from your fish pond and put them in my fish pond. Isn't this tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall?" Qiuyue shook her head again and again, feeling that Mei Xiang's suggestion was not appropriate.

Mei Xiang explained: "It's not about catching as many as you want, just throw some fish into the fish pond, and wait for it to reproduce by itself, so that the fish pond won't be empty." Make up the Western Wall.

Qiulin thinks this method is feasible. In fact, loosening some fish from Meixiang's fish pond is also beneficial to the fish in the fish pond. It is not necessary to loose too many fish, so that other fish will grow fat And strong.It's just that they didn't discuss this matter with the people in Mei Xiang's family, they didn't dare to go rashly. "Mei Xiang, I think it's okay. But you should tell your uncle and aunt first, otherwise it's a bit unreasonable for us to rush to catch fish like this."

Mei Xiang clicked her tongue, "It's nothing to say, my parents didn't have that weird incident. Even if I gave you some fish to eat, my parents wouldn't say anything. It's settled like that, tomorrow Come to my house to catch fish, and I will pinch water chestnuts for you to eat.” Now the fish pond is densely covered with water chestnuts, which are very easy to grow, and the lotus leaves in the fish pond are also verdant and verdant. Water chestnut!
Their family can't afford to eat at all.

Last time, Mei Xiangniang asked Mrs. Han to pick up the whole basket of water chestnuts, cut the water chestnuts into half-inch lengths, put some red pepper flakes in them, and fried them to eat. This tastes crisp and fresh, and it’s delicious when served with rice. excellent.Qiuyue and Qiulin stopped talking nonsense with Mei Xiang, and nodded in agreement.

Mei Xiang's parents are honest country people, and when Mei Xiang said that Qiu Lin and the others were going to get some small fish from the pond at home and throw them into the river, they naturally didn't refuse.This is about to become the in-laws of the sons and daughters, how can they be so far-fetched?

This early in the morning, Mei Xiangniang fed the pigs, made breakfast, and sent Mei Xiang to ask Qiuyue and Qiulin to come over and pick small fish and water chestnuts.

Naturally, Mei Xiang ran to Qiulin's house in Le Diandian. It was still early in the morning, and there was still smoke in the courtyard of Qiulin's house, and she was still cooking breakfast!Mei Xiang walked outside the courtyard of Qiulin's house, and saw that Qiulin was opening the chicken coop and driving the chickens and ducks to the yard for activities. tight.Qiulin is eating chickens and ducks!

Mei Xiang hurriedly called out: "Hey, Qiulin, you are eating the chickens and ducks!" Qiulin was holding the bamboo basket in his hand at the moment, and those chickens and ducks seemed to have double perspective eyes. The bamboo baskets were filled with something, and they surrounded Qiulin one by one, creaking and screaming.

Qiu Lin turned around and saw Mei Xiang standing outside the house with a bright face, and hurried over to open the bamboo door of the small courtyard for her, inviting her in.Seeing that there was still a trace of mist floating in Luoshui Village, Qiulin smiled and said, "Why is it so early, I just woke up, come in quickly."
