A peasant girl

Chapter 205 Shrimp Raising, An Hao's Idea
The yard was too noisy, Su Xiuniang greeted An and they entered the house.

Although the house is an earthen embryo house, it is tidy inside and the things around are neatly arranged.Su Xiuniang took An Hao and they went to the room where they slept.

The space inside is quite large and simple, with a bed, a table, and a cabinet, and there are many benches in the rest.Originally, there was no table in the room, but because people were coming today, they deliberately moved the table and stools into the room.Once they are settled, they will have a place to sit.

After chatting with them for a while, Su Xiuniang went to work.There are no cooks in the small mountain village, and everyone in the family helps out when they have something to do, so they cook everything by themselves.

An Hao sat with them in the room for a while, and after a while, Su Yunniang's voice came from outside.

"Sister, the people in the village next door are so kind. Seeing that we bought so many fish, they even gave us a lot. But this fish smells too fishy, ​​so they even gave us some red-shelled fish. They said it was called fish. Lobster, this is the first time I've seen red shrimp."

Hearing it was Su Yunniang's voice, An Hao walked out from the inner room.

"Auntie, Uncle..."

Su Yunniang heard An Hao calling them, looked around, and ran towards her before seeing An Hao before washing her hands.

"Big girl, you are finally here. I thought you would arrive later. If you had come earlier, you would have bought fish with us. Didn't you see how many fish came out of the clear pond..."

Su Yunniang didn't dare to hug Anhao, she smiled and started talking to Anhao.

"This red-shelled lobster hurts when caught in someone's hand. There is no meat, so it's no wonder he wants to give it to us..."

Su Xiuniang was listening, and couldn't help laughing: "You girl, you still hate it when someone gave it to you. This red-shelled lobster is quite meatless, and I hate it. Our fields have been beaten by them. There are a lot of holes, it's not easy to grasp..."

Su Tianlin and Su Tianqin also walked over after washing their hands.

"In our field over there, there are only some small fish, but there are no such things. When did you guys come here?" Su Tianqin looked at Anhao and said with a smile.Today, she is wearing a simple water red dress, which is even more charming.It is like this now, and it will definitely look better when it is opened in the future. Who can afford her like this.

"Not long ago, Uncle Tianqin, I have to congratulate you, you are a scholar, good job, keep working hard." Anhao thought for a while, and said some words of encouragement.

"He has worked hard for the scientific research, but fortunately, his hard work pays off. Darling, your cooking is so delicious, and this fish is so fishy, ​​what can you do?"

Su Tianlin felt that Anhao must have a solution, he knew the taste of the fish his eldest sister used to cook.It can only be eaten, but the fishy smell is really uncomfortable.If she still made it, it is estimated that everyone would not be able to eat much.

"That's right, I'm also worried. I forgot to ask you to bring the bucket, and it's all dead now, and it's fishy. Big girl, can you do anything about it." Su Xiuniang also looked at An Hao while talking.She has seen An Hao's cooking skills before, so she must have a way.

An Hao nodded, she naturally has some ideas.

"Big girl, you are so capable, you must be able to make this crayfish. Then let's get to work, I'm hungry..." Su Yunniang pulled An Hao and asked with a smile, pulled her and quickly withdrew her hand, and ran Go and wash your hands.

Most of the young people in Qingshan Village have gone out to work, so there are not many people in the village. More than 20 tables can be used to sit, and Sun Yun’s tables have also been moved, and some are placed outside the yard.

According to what An Hao said, they all got busy, and used some onion, ginger wine, and perilla.

When Qu Dagui and Deng Yuan came back, the helpers were already serving cold dishes.Su Xiuniang originally planned to make boiled fish, but when she arrived in Anhao, she made fried fish, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.Although it was a bit wasteful, Su Xiuniang didn't feel bad.After all, today is a big day for the family, and it is also a face-saving treat to cook something delicious.

Lobster, Anhao made slightly spicy crayfish, which looks attractive.Su Yunniang was helping, and after the crayfish was cooked, she secretly tasted one, and she admired An Hao's eyes even more, because it was really delicious.

Su Xiuniang also ate this lobster, but she always peeled off the meat and fried it. After this frying, there is not much fishy smell, and it is difficult to catch. Occasionally, if she catches one or two, she will be trampled to death.

Suzaku and Xiaobai, Anhao didn't bring them today, so she left them at home to help take care of the house.

Qingshan Village has not been this lively for a long time.The villager's name is Qian Liang, a young man in his 30s. After the whole meal, he is full of praise. It is really an honor for their village to have a Juren. After all, it has been many years There has never been a Juren, and there are very few scholars.

The fish and crayfish made by Anhao attracted everyone's attention. After they finished eating, they asked Su Xiuniang how they made it. Su Xiuniang looked at Anhao and said briefly.

Sun Nian and Su Tianqin were the protagonists today, but they were often toasted. If An Hao hadn't given them hangover pills, they would have been drunk long ago.Seeing that they can drink so well and are so down-to-earth, the villagers have a much better impression of them.

Not long after eating.

Affected by Anhao's delicious crayfish, the children in the village started to move, one after another ran to find Su Xiuniang, planning to catch crayfish and cook them at their house in the afternoon. After all, the adults at home are too good at cooking up.

The adults didn't object either, because eating spicy crayfish at noon tasted so good with wine.

"Sister, let's go too. I haven't caught lobster yet. The crayfish you made are so delicious, I only ate eight for lunch today."

As Erya An said, Su Yunniang on the side couldn't help laughing, this girl was indeed more foodie than her, she finished both of them while others were eating one.

Sun Nian and the others also liked to catch lobsters when they were young, so he felt relieved after the exam.

"Come on, I'll take you all to catch lobsters."

When Sun Nian spoke, everyone was overjoyed. An Hao also liked to eat crayfish, so naturally she had no objections.

Qu Yun didn't want to go, but Sun Xiao dragged him there, hoping that he could get in touch with other people more.

Carrying bamboo baskets, scorpions, and small net bags, everyone talked and laughed and went out.

After going to the fields, Sun Nian began to teach them how to catch lobsters. Where there is new mud, there are holes made by the lobsters.The ridge here is not high, so you can catch lobsters by squatting on the edge of the field.

The courageous Sun Nian, Sun Xiao, and Su Tianlin all put their hands into the hole, and after a while they pulled the lobster out of the hole.

"You guys are really capable, this lobster is really big. Come here, put it in my bamboo basket." Seeing that they caught it, Su Yunniang hurried over and said while passing the bamboo basket over.

Su Yueniang's two daughters also came. The older one is 14 years old named Deng Mei, and the younger one is 13 years old named Deng Lan. Follow wherever you go.

Feihua had never caught a lobster before, and she felt pain in her hands when she saw the pliers, so she didn't do it.Zhui Ming was a little curious, seeing that An Hao was catching him and found a hole in the side of the field.

An Erya and An Sanya carried bamboo baskets and followed Anhao, and when she caught one, they put a bamboo basket.Knowing that Anhao said that snails can be eaten, they squatted on the side of the field and picked up the snails in the water.

"I still don't believe it, I can't catch a lobster..." Zhui Ming walked a section of the field without finding a lobster hole, so he couldn't help but say a little unconvinced.

An Erya and the others couldn't help laughing when they heard the endless chant.

Qu Yun followed behind Sun Xiao and the others, and was very happy to see them grabbing lobsters one by one.He ate the lobster, and it was really good.

"Fei Hua, hurry up and give me the bamboo basket." Zhui Ming had already caught a lobster, and shouted at Fei Hua who was not far away.

Fei Hua watched An Hao catch the lobster, and ran over when she heard Zhui Ming shouting.

"See what I can do, wait, I'll catch you a bigger one."

Fei Hua smiled, and walked behind Zhui Ming. Such a leisurely life without killing was unthinkable before. It is really good to have such an opportunity now.

I searched for my life and found a bigger hole, thinking that I would be able to catch a bigger one this time.

"Why is it so slippery? Could it be a lobster or an eel? How could it be..."

Under Feihua's curious gaze, Zhuiming grabbed something in the hole and pulled it out.After seeing what Zhui Ming was holding in his hand, Fei Hua yelled.

She is not afraid of anything, but she is afraid of snakes.

Chasing life is not afraid of snakes, not to mention that the snake is not big and not poisonous.He changed hands, pinched the snake's head, and walked towards Feihua.

"This snake is not poisonous, it hurts a bit when it bites, nothing else, just take a look."

Zhui Ming held the snake, looked at Fei Hua with a smile and said.As soon as An Hao got up, she saw the scene here. The people under Jun Shen are really weird.But Feihua's temperament is not weak, Anhao was thinking, here Feihua kicked Zhuiming who came over into the field.

This chasing guy actually dared to scare her with a snake.

An Erya and the others also saw the scaring thing about chasing life and taking snakes just now, and they laughed one by one, they deserved to be kicked.

"Tell you to scare me..."

Zhui Ming didn't expect Fei Hua's reaction to be so strong, he got up, wet all over.Sun Xiao came over, took Zhuiming back, took his father's clothes and changed them for him.

All afternoon, Feihua didn't bother with Zhui Ming, Zhui Ming felt that he was too wronged, he obviously wanted her to overcome her psychological fear.

After the lobsters were caught, the children and adults in the village helped clean up the lobsters. Seeing that they had caught so many lobsters, the adults all went home one after another and brought their own peppers.

The motivation to eat food is very strong. If you catch it like this often, it will probably become extinct.The land in the village is very barren, but fortunately there are many trees in the backing and water sources, otherwise the harvest would be dismal. The imperial court learned of the hardships of their village, and the taxes collected were much lower than those in other places.Therefore, many people here are good at hunting, but they dare not go to the deep mountains.

The people in the village are also very united. When the farming season is busy, you help me and I help you.

While cleaning the lobster, everyone chatted.This lobster is delicious, but it does consume oil and condiments.As they chatted, they talked about this year's harvest. This year's wheat has been harvested everywhere, but they don't know how the millet harvest will be.

This red crayfish is not available in Baiweizhai. Baiweizhai uses only high-quality freshwater shrimp, and the cooking method is mainly light.

In the evening, there is a large pot of spicy lobster on every table, and everyone eats it happily.

"Big Ya, the lobster you cooked is really delicious. Even if we are willing to spare the oil, we probably won't be able to make it taste like this." Qian Liang ate several in a row, took a sip of wine, looked at An Hao and said .

After being introduced by Su Xiuniang and the others, Qian Liang also got to know An Hao and the others.Knowing that the lobster was made by her, it was inevitable to boast again.

An Hao also had some thoughts in her heart at this time.

"Well, just do it more. Uncle Lizheng, how much grain can you harvest in your fields every year, and how much money can everyone have in a year?"

Su Heng and the others were stunned when they heard An Hao's question.I really didn't expect her to ask such a question.

Su also wondered why Anhao asked such a question.

Qian Shan looked at An Hao's serious look, thought for a while and said, "My lord, our land here is relatively barren. Judging from the current situation, each family's field can't produce much food a year. If you want to talk about money Including those who go out to work, each family has five taels a year, which is very good. Naturally, there are more people who know how to hunt, but this is also a desperate effort."

When Qian Shan said this, people at other tables around him also started talking.

"Lizheng, it's not as good as what you said. You have to be lucky and have a good year to have so much money. Last year, my Niudan went to Yuehan City to find a job because others went one step ahead. I just missed work. I was at home later, but I couldn’t make much money this year. Thinking about it, eh..."

Dare to feel that the recruitment in Yuehan City is quite fierce.

"That's right, this mountain is too dangerous, and the money I got last year wasn't enough to recover from my injuries..."

After drinking some wine, each of them unknowingly revealed the things that were suppressed in their hearts.An Hao sighed after hearing this, the world is full of different situations, each has its own story, but life is so difficult, but they are all trying to survive.

Su felt that compared to them, she was really much luckier.Having such a good daughter may also be due to the blessings she accumulated in her previous life.

"Then if someone comes to rent your field, would you like it?" Anhao thought for a while and said, because she also looked at the land here today, and it is possible to grow wild peppers and potatoes.

Hearing what An Hao said, not only Qian Shan stood up, but other villagers also put down their bowls and chopsticks and surrounded him.

"We are definitely willing, but will anyone be willing to rent our field..."

You can earn money by renting it out, and you can also help with planting. This is double income.The people who gathered around asked questions in a hurry.

Su Heng had already guessed what An Hao was thinking. She probably wanted to rent this field and grow it. This is a big deal.

"As long as you are willing, someone will naturally want to rent it, but let's have dinner first and talk about it later."

If the lobster is cold, it will not be as good.

With An Hao's words, everyone started eating again, but it didn't take as long as eating at noon.

After eating, everyone helped to clean up, and after helping to carry the tables and stools back to each house, most of the people came to Suxiu's mother's house again.

While they were tidying up, An Hao chatted with Qian Liang for a while, and after discussing it, Qian Liang went home and took paper, pen and ink.

"Everyone be quiet, come here. Miss Da Ya wants to rent our field here, everyone come and listen, and if you are willing, come here to sign or get your fingerprints."

When Qian Liang said this, the people who were talking around fell silent. They wanted to rent out some of the land, but it depended on how much it cost.When they came, they were in a carriage, and all of them were well dressed, so they must be rich.

An Hao naturally knew what they were thinking.

"Uncles, uncles and aunts, I believe that you have cultivated the land for so many years, and you have an understanding of your own land. If you don't want to, I won't force it. I plan to feed lobsters in the field. The rent for each mu of land is three taels of silver a year, and you also need to take care of the other fields, and each family will pay eight taels of silver a year."

"If the breeding is good, there will be red envelopes at the end of the year, but if you want to fool around, I can't tolerate it here. I believe that as long as everyone follows my method, the lobsters will definitely grow better and better. Your fields this year have already After the rice is planted, I will wait for the harvest before starting to organize the fields and raise lobsters. I will tell you the details. At that time, I will go elsewhere to find some shrimp seedlings... "

　Fever is really troublesome, annoying.Everyone has to pay attention to the body.
