Chapter 166 Raising Fish and Crabs in Rice Fields

"No problem, I'll take care of the fruit wine!" Su Mu replied with a smile. Seeing that Liang Fei and An Lu were really immersed in joy, he quietly walked out of the house with Ou Chen and set off for the marsh in the distance.

The fruit wine they are talking about is actually a variety of berries picked from the mountain by using the scanning ability when Sumu went up the mountain to pick pine cones last autumn.When I came back, I washed it and fermented it in Mouton. Now the wine has a strong aroma, sweet and sour taste, but it is an excellent fruit wine.

Originally making wine by himself was an unintentional act, and Su Mu didn't intend to make any delicious food, but the fruits placed in the space would not perish, so he thought about trying to see if he could turn those berries into wine.Unexpectedly, I opened it a few days ago and tasted it, and everyone praised that the taste is quite good, so there is a glass of agate-like fruit wine on the dinner table from time to time.

The two discussed which berries on the mountain could be used to brew wine, and walked all the way from the waterwheel mill to the swamp.

At this moment, the villagers were fully armed and went down to the swamp, ready to open up wasteland.

With the experience of opening up wasteland last year, they now have a clear division of labor. The few people in front are responsible for digging out weeds, rotten tree roots, etc.; The prototype of the swamp is ready, and the seedlings can be transplanted directly after they are delivered.

In fact, because of the climate here in Huatanao, the villagers have never planted rice, so they have little experience with new things to talk about.

Everyone is very skilled in land reclamation. Most of the reason is that the village has bought more TVs. As long as there are agricultural programs, they will gather to watch them.After a long time, I have accumulated a lot of theoretical knowledge about things I have never touched before, such as quail farming, fish and shrimp farming, and rice planting.

I have been dealing with farmland for almost half of my life, and these jobs also have a somewhat intriguing meaning.

As long as you understand the principle of rice planting, you will soon understand how to cultivate and plant it.This point is always much better than Sumu whose eyes are smeared. He was also happy to worry about it. He found some posts on the management of rice planting from the Internet and downloaded them for everyone to read. The villagers felt a little bit better. .

The swamp has been idle for decades, but fortunately, most of them are mud bubbles with a lot of water. Although it is not very convenient to clean up, it is much faster than opening up wasteland on the land.

There are many people and strength, and a large and neat paddy field will be reclaimed in a short period of time.

"Yes, at this speed, we will soon be able to catch up with planting seedlings." The village head was also doing this work in the wasteland reclamation team, took time to straighten his waist, light a cigarette, and shouted to Su Mu on the shore: "Look! It's almost noon, and you two don't want to go back. We brought food with us before we came here. After a while, we can light a fire and follow us to eat whatever we want! Just in time, Ou Shao, you can take a few photos for us, and I can take pictures when you have time It’s quite inspiring to see how everyone works together after being washed out of the village committee.”

"Okay! I'll grab your lunch at noon, and I'll take pictures for everyone!" Ou Chen obviously liked to mingle with them, so he agreed cheerfully, and then specially chose an angle to leave a commemoration for the busy people.

Su Mu was not idle either. Hearing that he would start a fire later, he got up and went to the hillside to collect a lot of firewood.

"Don't pick up firewood, Muzi, come and see, there is something interesting here!" The owner of the car was burying his head for the second time, and suddenly smiled and waved to him, "Hurry up and find a bag or something, there is something delicious at noon!"

As soon as they heard that there was something delicious, Su Mu and Ou Chen hurriedly took off their shoes and socks, rolled up their trouser legs, and stepped into the soft mud.

"Hey, hey, I found out too! Uncle Boss, are you talking about loach sticks?" The second fool just picked up a rotten tree root from the mud, and before throwing it ashore, he shouted as if he had discovered a new continent, his hands quickly I dug into the mud to search, "What's going on, I touched one just now, and now I don't know where it went."

"There are really loach sticks! My feet are slippery, and I feel that I am not small!"

"There are not only loaches, but also fish, which are quite big!"

"Who brought the net? There are several big fish in the puddle here!"

……

With Che Boss yelling, many people began to notice a fish or loach scurrying through the mud under their feet from time to time.

There are even those like Han Wazi who fumbled in the muddy water for a while without finding any fish, and exclaimed after a while: "Oh my god, what a big toad! Hey, grab the toad's legs and eat them!" "

"There are quite a lot of living things in the water, look what I'm touching!" Lao Hei laughed loudly, his hands tossed in the muddy water under his feet, and after a while, he lifted a big bastard out of the water, and said with a cheerful smile "Muzi, hurry back to the village to get the basket and cauldron, put everything caught by everyone in the basket and wash it, and let's make bastard soup for lunch! This thing is very nourishing!"

His words made everyone burst into laughter, and Su Mu took out his mobile phone and replied: "Call my dad and ask them to bring over the basket and cauldron. We don't have any seasonings or anything. We took them all on the ground at noon today." Make something delicious!"

Ou Chen took the big bastard handed over by Lao Hei, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Brother Su, this is a treasure land of geomantic omen. After the rice fields are planted, fish and shrimps will be raised in the water. In autumn, We can also eat authentic rice flower fish! It would be even better if we can raise some crabs, do you think it is possible to mix them in this paddy field?"

"Sure! From the beginning, I planned to scatter some small fish fry in the paddy field after planting the seedlings. Now it seems that there is no need to scatter the fish fry. There are a lot of fish and loaches in the water. At that time, I will get some crabs and raise them." It’s not bad in the paddy field, but it’s the same thing, there is a lake there, there are many migratory birds every summer, I guess you have to watch it, otherwise the fish and crabs are not well raised, attracting the migratory birds, and the rice fields will be ruined instead.”

Su Mu looked at the large open swampland waiting to be developed, and when he thought that the space water mixed in, no matter whether it was seedlings or fish and crabs, it would definitely grow very well, so he felt very refreshed.

It's just that the migratory birds by the lake are indeed an unstable factor. After the water is mixed with space water, the overall quality will have a qualitative jump, and the number of fish, shrimp, crabs, and frogs will definitely increase. This will attract migratory birds all day long. Stroll here.Before the mixed breeding in the rice fields, you have to find a way to get rid of the migratory birds over there, otherwise the rice fields will not be safe after all.

"Migratory birds? This is a big problem. They can't be killed directly, but they have to protect the rice fields..." Ou Chen pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he suggested, "Don't Mr. Zhang and the others raise some foxes on the farm?" ?They help to watch the flock of sheep and cows are about to mature, maybe one or two brought here can restrain the flock of migratory birds!
Don't forget, those foxes ran to steal the eggs from time to time, and the wild birds on the pasture didn't dare to get too close to the chickens in the chicken farm to grab food!Try to get two first, if you can also frighten the group of migratory birds, it will save a lot of trouble. "
