Reborn Leisurely Landlord

Chapter 62

When we woke up the next morning, the weather was cloudy and the southeast wind was blowing. It was a good day to catch snails.

After breakfast early in the morning, Father Su and Wang Xinqiang went to the mountains to pick honeysuckle again.

At the turn of summer and autumn, the weather is always cloudy and cloudy. It seems that the weather is going to rain. The honeysuckle can't stand the heavy rain.When it rains, the flower buds will open. Once the rain washes away, the medicinal effect will be reduced, and the price may drop.

So Su's father went to the village to find several idle women to help. Those people chatting at home is also a way to pass the time, and they can get 20 yuan in wages when they go to Su's house to work.

When the honeysuckle was harvested for the first time, Su's father asked Aunt Lian to find the women in the village for help. Although they were all village women who kept their duties, Su Qingdai was worried that the villagers would play tricks and be lazy when they worked, but fortunately, those village women Women are used to picking tea leaves and so on, but they are skillful and nimble when they work, which makes Father Su very satisfied.After that, Su Qingdai stopped worrying and asked Aunt Lian to find someone directly.

The grown-ups have grown-up things to do, and the kids have kids' activities.Knowing that the brothers and sisters of the Su family were back, many children came to the Su family to watch the fun.The boys Erban and Gouzi seldom come to make trouble at home, but this time they knew that Su Qingcheng was back, so they rushed over. Even Juan and Jiang Xing followed Su Qingye to the house.

Su Qingdai ordered Su Qingcheng to go to the mountain to let Wang Xinqiang pick a few ripe seedless watermelons for the children to try. The children saw that the seedless watermelons were very fresh and ate them very happily.

After eating the watermelon, each of them grabbed a handful of sugar particles and set off towards Qinghe to touch the snails and river mussels.Su Qingdai stood behind and looked at the seven or eight small heads in front, feeling a little funny.This lineup is no less than a basketball team.

Su Qingdai carried a bamboo basket in his hand, the other children each carried a snakeskin bag, Su Qingcheng and Erban Gouzi each carried a large dustpan, and the group rushed to the Qing River.

Sure enough, the water in the Qinghe River has receded in sevens and eighties, and the shallow river water only stretches over the ankles.The girls took off their shoes and rolled up their trousers and went down to the river to catch snails. Su Qingcheng waved his hands proudly and led Erban and Gouzi to the river pool downstream to touch the mussels.

Hetanzi is a deep pool formed by digging sand when the river dries up in winter. When the river floods up in spring and the Hetanzi is filled with water, all the mussels and river fish gather there.

Although the water in Hetanzi is deep, Su Qingdai is not worried about them. The three guys have good water quality. Su Qingcheng and the others can plunge into Hetanzi more than 20 meters away. , breaking out of the water with a bang, showing a wet head over there and smirking at you.

Su Qingcheng over there is busy touching the mussels, and Su Qingdai and the others here are not idle either.When we got off the river, we began to bend down to pick snails.

Snail lions generally like to stay on the banks of rivers with shallow water, because the banks are generally covered with lush aquatic plants, and it is convenient for snail lions to breathe and breathe.The snails usually hide under the aquatic plants, but there are many snails in the Qinghe River. Not only are there many snails under the aquatic plants, but also clinging to the rocks, bending over and grabbing a lot.

The habit of snail lions often brings them great disasters. The snail lions move slowly, and the river water recedes quickly in many cases. If the snail lions cannot keep up with the speed, they will be stranded on the river bank. Will be sunburned to death.At this time, the ants by the river are given a chance, and they can have a full meal.

Walking along the river bank, you will see snails clinging to the roots or stones one by one.As soon as you touch it, you can get a few of them. Of course, you can also touch a lot in the crevices of the stones.

However, river snails are not very big, and the largest ones are field snails.The rice fields have stored water for a long time, and the snails inside are as big as a child's fist. When the snail shells are cracked, the meat inside is firm and more delicious than pork.

However, snails are rare, and snails stay in the mud for a long time, and there are many mud fungus in the meat. It is very troublesome to clean and remove the muddy smell.

The snail river mussels are delicious, but the villagers don't like to eat them.First of all, it is very troublesome to get those things, and there are not many things to eat when cooking a meal of snails, but a lot of oil and seasonings are added, so most people in the village do not know how to do it.

Su Qingdai couldn't help laughing when she thought of the excitement of eating snails in big cities in later generations.At that time, a small bowl of snail meat was 20 yuan, which was outrageously expensive, and it was not necessarily clean.But people in the city love to eat, so many colleagues often go to the night market to find food.

Not long after fishing for the snail lion, Ah Ying actually came.

She heard that Su Qingdai was back last night, and she was anxious to find Su Qingdai to play.Unexpectedly, after finishing the work at home this morning, I went to the Su family to find someone, but the Su family was guarded by an iron general.Aunt Lian on the opposite side told her that the eldest girl of the Su family led a group of people to fish for snails by the river.

When Ah Ying arrived at the river, Su Qingdai and the others had already picked up a lot of snails, each of them had half a bag of snails in their snakeskin bags, and the four girls were bending over in the river, picking snails The lion was chattering on one side, so lively.

Ah Ying called Su Qingdai from the shore, pretending to be unhappy and complaining: "You guys are so lively, you just take care of leading the young general as soon as you come back, and you don't call me."

"Where is it? I planned to go to your house in the afternoon. I brought you a set of review materials. You came just in time. Take it back when you go back."

Naturally, Su Qingdai knew that Ah Ying would not be angry, so she approached the bank with a smile, and while Ah Ying was not paying attention, she poured a handful of clear water on Ah Ying's body.Soon they took off their shoes and went into the water. A group of little girls started making trouble in the river.

Su Qingdai stopped fishing after most of the bags of snails were caught.Looking at the snail seedlings growing gratifyingly across the river, Su Qingdai became excited, remembering the snails she ate last night, immediately put down the snail in her hand, and ordered Su Qingye to go back with the snail in the snakeskin bag, while she pulled the snail back. Ying went to the opposite side to break Artemisia bamboo shoots.

Artemisia shoots look a bit like sisal, but Artemisia shoots are not sticky, and generally grow in the shallows. Artemisia shoots grow best in places with sufficient water sources, and they are green.

When they arrived at the shoal, Su Qingdai and Aying stepped into the Artemisia bamboo shoots, specifically looking for the shoots that had sprouted and plucked ears, and took the tender cores in the middle of the bamboo shoots, breaking them off to peel off the tender Artemisia bamboo shoots.

Su Qingdai's eyes were sharp, and she peeled off more than a dozen at once, which should be enough for the family to eat several meals, but Su Qingdai didn't stop.She thought about going back to the city the day after tomorrow, so she would bring more things from the countryside, let Jin Xiaoxiao and Zeng Tai try something new, and give some to Mrs. Luo and the boss Sun Qiang. open.

Fortunately, there are no other things in Qinghe, but we can't finish picking artemisia bamboo shoots.The two of them worked hard for more than half an hour before picking Kankan's basket.

The two of them were already exhausted. After all, they were standing in the wetland. The mud underneath was soft, and they would sink anytime they stepped on it, so they had to be more careful.

After washing their feet and going ashore, Su Qingdai and Aying walked along the river to Hetanzi.Although she wasn't worried about Su Qingcheng, she still wanted to go and have a look. She didn't know what happened to those people.

Unexpectedly, when they reached the corner of Hetanzi, they heard the sound of arguing from the other end.Su Qingdai was taken aback. Although she couldn't figure out what happened, she could already hear Su Qingcheng's curse.Not caring about other things, Su Qingdai held down the basket and ran towards the source of the sound.

Sure enough, there were eight or nine people standing around the corner, among them were Su Qingcheng, Erban and Gouzi.Su Qingdai didn't know the other boys, they seemed to be from other villages.The two sides seemed to be arguing about why, but there were five or six people on the other side who didn't say anything, and they seemed to be a few years older than Su Qingcheng, obviously a large number of people.Those people pushed towards the chests of the three of Su Qingcheng, as if they had malicious intentions.

Su Qingdai rushed up, and the boys whistled a few times when they saw Su Qingdai, with a smile on their faces: "Hey, where did this girl come from? She looks really juicy."

Su Qingdai didn't bother to look at the rambunctious gangster, she turned her head and waited for Su Qingcheng angrily, her tone was a bit offended: "What's going on?"

What's the matter with this guy, he really likes to cause trouble, how can touching a river clam cause trouble?Who is not easy to provoke, but actually provoked these gangsters, these people are ignorant and unreasonable, if they get entangled, they will suffer.

Su Qingcheng was reprimanded by his younger sister, feeling aggrieved, and stubbornly refused to speak with his red eyes stuck in his neck.Gouzi explained: "Qingdai, this is their fault. They came to our river to catch mussels, and they wanted to rob us. The worst thing is, they even threw glass into the river pond. What! They actually did such an immoral thing!"

What?Throw glass?In summer, people go into the water every day in that river pool. If they step on the glass, the consequences will be disastrous.Su Qingdai's eyes widened, and then she turned around to look at those gangsters angrily: "You actually threw glass into the river pool, your skin is itchy!"

As soon as the words came out, those gangsters burst into laughter, and one of the boys gave Su Qingdai a disdainful glance: "Where did the yellow-haired girl come from, actually meddling in my business. I can throw it away if I want, can you control it?"

"Lao Tzu? What kind of Lao Tzu are you?!" Su Qingcheng couldn't see his sister being refuted by others, and when he heard that the man claimed to be Lao Tzu, he blurted out angrily, "Is it reasonable for you Fengxiang Village to come to our village to make trouble? Are you trying to fight or something?"

Su Qingdai secretly thought it was too bad, it would be better if an adult could solve this matter, but what Su Qingcheng said was clearly to anger those gangsters.Annoyed them, the three of Su Qingcheng plus himself and Ah Ying are only five, and the other party is old and a tall boy, so he will definitely suffer in a fight.

Sure enough, as soon as Su Qingcheng said this, one of them rushed up: "I just want to fight, why not? The brat has no hair yet dares to provoke me. It just so happens that my hands have been itchy for several days, and I haven't found anything to practice." guy!"

Su Qingdai didn't have time to call out, the man had already rushed up, with a gust of wind, the fist was about to hit Su Qingcheng's face, Su Qingdai closed her eyes in fright.

After hearing no sound for a long time, Su Qingdai hurriedly opened her eyes to look.But he saw Zhou Limin dragging the boy who was doing it, and looking at him with a livid face.

"What kind of old man are you?" Zhou Limin's voice was cold, "It's really itchy to come to our village to show off!"
