Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 93
Du Xiaoyu went to the shed to feed the rabbit.

The batch of rabbits that were born before are now more than four months old. They are kept separately in four large wooden cages, and they will basically be ready for slaughter in two or three months.

But she is not satisfied with this, the growth of rabbits is a bit slow, she remembers that she once read the information about raising rabbits, like ordinary meat rabbits, it only takes three to four months to grow to six or seven catties, but this batch of rabbits has already grown to four It's been a month, and the heaviest one came out to weigh it, and it was only more than five catties.

It probably has something to do with the breed, because the feeding is well taken care of, and the house is kept warm and ventilated. Up to now, none of the rabbits have been sick.

When the little rabbit saw people coming, they poked their heads one by one, and gnawed on the wood in a hurry.

She grabbed half a bale of fodder and put it in the cage, and went to feed the big rabbits over there, but saw that the two big male rabbits did nothing good and sprayed urine everywhere.

This is a symptom of estrus. Last time I wanted to breed them in February, but I just didn't cooperate. I think the weather is not warm enough. It will be different in March. Du Xiaoyu immediately became happy.

A second batch of bunnies will be born soon!

After being busy for a while, she finished feeding the big rabbits with green vegetables and crushed corn. When she opened the wooden door of the small shed and came out, she saw Du Xian sitting on a wooden post in the backyard in a daze, looking very worried.

"What is Dad thinking?" She asked with a smile.

Du Xian looked up at her, frowned, hesitated for a while before whispering, "Xiaoyu, you have a good relationship with your sister, do you think Huang Hua would like Bai Yushi?"

Du Xiaoyu was startled, did he see it?He hurriedly lowered his head to hide his expression, "Father, what are you talking about? How would I know, sister doesn't tell me everything."

"Oh," Du Xian sighed, "Didn't Bai Yushi come to our house last time? When I went to the main room with your uncle Bai, I was so happy to see Huang Hua smiling! Sigh, your sister has a hard life, and she followed us every day when she was a child." Running to the fields, I'm getting older, my back disease is serious again, and she can't live a comfortable life." He paused, "What if the Bai family can't wait to find another wife, your sister is If you like him, don't you want to hate us?"

Du Xiaoyu was silent for a while, "Father and mother are also thinking about eldest sister."

Du Xian shook his head, "I always feel that I should ask Huang Hua, if she has something to say, I, as a father, have to find a way to make her happy!"

"But what if Brother Bai gets better? Could it be that Dad is willing to let my sister marry him?" It is said that the IQ of people in love is zero, and Du Huanghua may be able to do all kinds of stupid things, who knows.

Du Xian stopped talking again, and patted Du Xiaoyu's head for a while, "I just feel sorry for your sister, this silly child is bored in everything, if we make decisions for her and make mistakes, what should we do! "

Du Xiaoyu suddenly had a sore nose and couldn't say anything.

She had always been afraid of Du Huanghua's disadvantage, but she never thought about it for her elder sister like her father did. Compared with Zhao Shi, Du Xian was more kind and understanding.

"Father, let's find time to go to the Internet cafe in the river, the pond can grow things!" Recently, because of the rumors, she hasn't taken care of the pond, and now she has free time, so she changed the subject.

"Okay, okay, let's go tomorrow, raise more grass carp, see if you like to eat that fish fillet!" Du Xian stood up, "Let's go, let's light a fire for your mother."

The setting sun fell on his shoulders as if covered with a brilliant coat, his wrinkles gathered at the corners of his eyes, and his smile was so kind and gentle.

Du Xiaoyu rubbed his nose, put his hand in his broad palm, and the two went in with a smile.

Mrs. Zhao is chopping mountain bamboo shoots, planning to cook a mountain bamboo shoot soup to drink. There are shredded potatoes and a few green onions in the bamboo basket next to them. Silk, good-looking and delicious, is her specialty.

But if you put some chili in the oil and fry it again, it should be more fragrant, right?Thinking about it, she stepped forward and said, "Mom, didn't I buy a lot of spices in the county last time, can you put some pepper in and try?"

"Chili? I heard that eating that stuff makes me angry, and some people get nosebleeds after eating too much!"

"It's okay, those restaurants in the county put all the stir-fried vegetables, mother can just get some." Du Xiaoyu squatted down and opened the cabinet door, took out a small bag of peppers, picked out two small ones, "just two, If it’s delicious, let’s add more next time.” Anyway, it’s not Chaotianjiao, so it shouldn’t matter.

Mrs. Zhao agreed after thinking about it, "Then what is it delicious to fry? Small rapeseed?"

"Potatoes."

"Okay, you can add some straw to the stove."

After cooking the mountain bamboo shoot soup, Mrs. Zhao started to fry the shredded potatoes. As a result, when the sesame oil was boiled with chili peppers, a strong spicy smell came straight to the tip of the nose, and Du Xian and his wife coughed from choking.

"Oh, my throat hurts, can this be eaten?" Du Xian asked in surprise.

"You'll know if you taste it, mother, this chili can't be blackened, put potatoes in quickly." Du Xiaoyu didn't respond, this bit of spiciness was nothing to her.

Mrs. Zhao had no choice but to fry the dishes while coughing.

When it was time to eat, neither of them picked up the shredded potatoes. Seeing their fear, Du Xiaoyu took the lead and put a chopstick in his mouth.

Let’s not talk about whether the food is good or not. Just look at the green onions, red peppers, and yellow potatoes. The colors are all pretty good. After Du Xiaoyu chewed it slowly, it really tastes better. The peppers are good. something!

"Can you eat it?" Du Xian stared at her nervously, "Eat less, or your tongue will grow bigger in a while."

"It's not spicy at all, dad, eat it quickly." Du Xiaoyu put a chopstick in his bowl.

Du Xian had no choice but to taste it bitterly, but before swallowing it, he frowned and said strangely, "Obviously the taste was very strange when it was fried, why didn't it taste like much, but it was very fragrant. , "He savored it carefully again, "Well, it's a bit so, why can't I tell it..."

"That's spicy salad, isn't it good?" Du Xiaoyu laughed.

"Oh, it's spicy, it's spicy, mother, you should try it too, it's delicious!" Du Xian excitedly picked up a big chopstick for his wife.

Mrs. Zhao also took a bite, and the reaction was the same as Du Xian's, she thought it was more delicious than before.

It seems that they all can eat spicy food. In fact, eating spicy food is a matter of talent. Du Xiaoyu is very happy and wants to wait until tomorrow to increase the amount to see how high their tolerance is. By the way, there are also peppercorns!
It's delicious when it's spicy and spicy, and it's fun to make pickled fish!

After a few days, some fish were caught from the river one after another, including crucian carp, grass carp, and carp, all of which were raised in the pond. Du Xiaoyu also went to catch a few crabs at night. Throw it in the pond.

Sprinkle some bran during the day, and the leftovers go to the pond. If you don’t want to breed in large quantities, it is very worry-free.

Du Wenyuan came back once in the middle, and she found the two smallest rabbits and brought him to Wanjia. Smaller rabbits are cuter as pets. I believe Wan Fanglin will like them too, and she told him how to raise them.

Before I knew it, it was April, and the winter melon bloomed half a month earlier than before, and the male and female flowers had already bloomed. She was busy working in the field during the day, and worried about whether it would rain. If it rained, pollination would be affected. , so I was physically and mentally exhausted every day, and fell asleep at night, without dreaming a single night.

This day, Du Xiaoyu went to the main room to eat with sleepy eyes, but saw that Mrs. Qin was there, and she didn't know what she was doing so early in the morning.

"It's finally up, but you can wait for me."

"Wait for me?" Du Xiaoyu yawned, "What are you waiting for?"

Qin pointed to the ground, "Look, here is a rabbit for you! I heard that a peddler brought it for you. Your second brother knew that I often ran around, so he entrusted me to bring the rabbit back."

Hearing the rabbit, she immediately woke up, looked to the ground, and saw that there was a big cage behind Qin.

She thanked and knelt down to look at the rabbits. There were five rabbits in total, two yellowish ones, one yellowish white one, and two black ones. They looked about two months old, and they were all slightly different in shape.

Seeing that she was very focused, Mrs. Qin smiled lightly, "Is your little brain thinking about making money again? Did someone buy this rabbit from Qidong County? But the boss is far away."

"Yeah, I wanted to go by myself, but I didn't get the chance."

"Your brother said that it took three taels of silver, so Mr. Zhang will pay for it first for you." Qin Shi said with a smile, "Isn't it Qidong County, when I earn silver in the future, I will hire a carriage to take you with me , I heard that it is good over there, maybe we can buy some things to sell, there are a lot of strange ones.”

"Okay!" Du Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, "Then let me wish you a fortune first."

"Hey, your aunt isn't thinking too much right now!" Qin complained, "You also know that your Brother Pang is getting old, so you have to find him a good wife first."

Du Xiaoyu curled her lips, "Auntie, if you don't pick and choose, Brother Pang would already have a family."

"Nonsense, how did I choose?" Qin was dissatisfied, "What do you know, a child, that you can randomly find one for this life-long event? If you want your eldest sister to get married on the street, are you willing?"

Even started talking nonsense with her, Du Xiaoyu didn't bother to talk to her, stood up and said, "I'll feed the rabbit."

"Don't worry, talk to auntie." Qin Shi said, "It's rare to come here once, don't you miss me, kid?"

Du Xiaoyu's goosebumps were about to come out, so she became pissed with her, but Qin is used to saying anything, so he doesn't care.

Mrs. Zhao came in after feeding the chickens, Mrs. Qin saw that she had finished her work, and said without avoiding Du Xiaoyu, "Sister, I heard that you went to Tianxing Temple with Mrs. Cui last time?"

It's not a secret, so don't hide it, it's just a little strange, Zhao said yes.

"Is it because they want to promise their daughter to your family Wenyuan?" Qin asked again.

The Bai family did have this vague meaning, but they were not sure. Zhao didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Oh, big sister, you can't have this white lotus!" Mrs. Qin patted the table, "I just came here to tell you, this girl is outrageous!"
