Chapter 31
In the middle of the day, it was already daylight. Nanny Zhang prepared the soft sedan chair, and Qingluan helped Mrs. Zhang go up and sit down, and then called a servant and a maid to follow, and together with Yang Feier, they left the farm and went to the Hu family's field Watch the scythe open.

At this time, the mid-autumn day is approaching, although it is early in the morning, there is already a constant stream of people coming and going on the main road of Tangjia Village. In addition to the little lady who is leaving her natal family, the bridegroom who is paying homage to her father-in-law, there are also farmers from eight villages nearby. Stepping on the morning dew, I specially came to see the Hu family's rice field raising fish.

Looking at the thousand mountains from a distance, the clouds are coming out of the mountains, and in the blue sky, the milky clouds float on the mountainside. The mountain scenery in autumn is different from that in spring and summer. At this time, the sky is taller and the clouds are lighter, which makes people see more It is far away, but the mountain is no longer a thick indelible green, but occasionally dotted with a touch of bright yellow, which is ginkgo, and occasionally added a piece of fiery red, which is maple forest, which makes the mountain seem to be lively in an instant.

In the vast field at the foot of the mountain, the rice in the farmland is earing. At this time of the year, the farmers who make the crops are happy. The crops have passed four months without drought and waterlogging, and they are about to harvest the grain. , how can you not be happy?

But this year, these farmers are not thinking about their own fields. Look at the golden yellow in the Hu family’s rice fields. The rice stalks that are thicker than chopsticks can’t hold up the heavy ears of rice, and they hang down heavily. There is a fat fish with a length of one foot swimming between the rice trees in the field ditch. How is it not a wonder that has not been seen in this mountainous area for a hundred years?

Unexpectedly, today is the day when the Hu family opened the sickle. A crowd of villagers stood on the ridge of the field, watching with greedy eyes the handfuls of rice stalks with half-foot-long ears of rice that were knocked down by the sharp sickle and gathered into bundles. The rice handles were transported to the threshing box in the middle of the field. Mrs. Wang and Shen were smashing the ears of rice on the handles onto the long bench placed in the wooden box. The rods fell on the bottom of the box, but when they were sliced, a thick layer had accumulated on the bottom of the box. When the thickness reached a certain thickness and affected threshing, they had to be bagged and transported home to dry.

Both Uncle Tang and Aunt Tang were helping in the fields, and Tang Chaofu, the eldest son of the village head, and Tang Chaogui, the second son, were also invited.Da Hu, as the main laborer of the Hu family, stayed at home today as the leader of the scythe. Several of them were in their early thirties, and in their prime, the tigers and tigers wielding the scythe in their hands were in full swing in the fields, and on the ridges of the fields The onlookers looked at it, which aroused the male's natural desire for performance. You chased each other. Compared with the competition, after a while, Second Aunt Tang was left far behind. The sickle is engaged in transportation, helping to transport the rice handles behind the four to threshing.

The village chief Tang Zhengfu also came here early in the morning with his two sons. Standing under the holly tree with his hands behind his back and squinting his eyes, he looked at the circles of golden rice and the fish ditches where schools of fish swim. He had already traveled back and forth to this land How many times have I seen it, and every time I look at it, I still can't help being surprised and sighing.

Just as he was thinking, Yang Feier accompanied Mrs. Zhang and others to come under the holly tree. Seeing that it was the Mrs. Zhang's, Tang Zhengfu hurried over to greet him. Although his family has no relationship with the Zhang family, the Zhang family is a well-known local family. Officials have different status, Mrs. Zhang smiled and exchanged greetings with him, Tang Zhengfu took the opportunity to leave.

Looking at the bustling harvest scene, Mrs. Zhang was very grateful for her decision at that time. Such a scene, if nothing else, will spread throughout Anhuai Mansion by this time next year. At that time, their Zhang family will be the leader of the world. The model of farming, the forerunner of overturning the authority of history, honor and wealth will roll in.What an honor!
All of this was brought to him by the little girl beside him.

Mrs. Zhang thought of the first time she saw this girl in her study in the spring day. She was neither humble nor overbearing, elegant and generous, with a yellow shirt and green skirt, like a dandelion flower, a small flower. Half a year later, she had grown quite a bit, although she was thin, But it doesn't look so delicate.I couldn't help but feel moved. Although the girl generously promised to name the technologies she provided as Zhang's at that time, she probably didn't expect such a big impact. If she saw Zhang in the future Will there be any regrets about the fire cooking at home?
After several encounters, Mrs. Zhang certainly will not still treat Yang Feier as an ignorant child. This woman is a formidable talent. If she repents, what will she do?
Mrs. Zhang thought about it several times in her heart, and she had made up her mind, and she looked at Yang Feier again.

Unconsciously, it was almost time, Yang Feier figured that Papa Hu and Hu Kang would probably be back, so he couldn't help but look to the side of the road from time to time, and sure enough, he saw Hu Lai's father, Hu Kang, coming from a distance carrying a bucket, but there was a man behind him. That chubby fat man, who is his overage apprentice?

Seeing those three people coming straight up, Yang Feier also went up to them, greeted Li Baotian with a smile, called Grandpa and Big Brother, and said to Li Baotian, "Why is Grandpa Li coming too?" Li Baotian was panting, He said with a smile: "The fish in the restaurant are almost out of stock these days. Every day I rush to buy all the fish from the market, but it's not enough. Some customers not only eat in the restaurant, but also pack it before leaving. Take a copy home, where can I do it?"

He paused and gasped for a few more breaths, and said again: "I didn't intend to talk about this with your grandfather this morning, so I realized that your family still has a few acres of fish, so I will follow your grandfather. "While walking, I have come back under the holly tree.

Several people met Mrs. Zhang separately, Father Hu and Hu Kang did not take a moment's rest, picked up the sickle, and joined Da Hu and the others.

Yang Feier took a copying net and led Li Baotian down to the field and came to the fish pit. At this time, the rice fields had dried up, and all the fish were gathered in the fish pit of the fish ditch. All kinds of fish, carp, black carp, crucian carp and catfish, are one foot long, and catfish are already one and a half feet long, with thick flesh and lively.

Li Baotian was overjoyed, and said: "Master, the size of these fish is available, and these fish can be sent tomorrow. Three hundred catties are required every day. With these fish, there is no need to go to the market to buy them every day." That's enough." Chang Shu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I've saved myself a headache!"

Yang Feier was also happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Well, I will talk to my father and the others at night."

After the two talked about selling fish in a few words, they walked back, Li Baotian said: "Master, I received your letter yesterday, and I have divided the apprentices who learned how to roast duck with me into slaughtering, hair removal, ironing and coloring. There are four shifts for baking, baking and sliced ​​skin. There are two people in one class. They are different from each other. You are right in thinking. It is easy to make each step more proficient.”

Yang Fei'er laughed and said, "It's hard for you to understand the many other characters written in my letter," and said: "This is just a stopgap measure, and there will always be wise people who will realize the reason."

There are many ways to prepare and eat roast duck in the previous life, and it is divided into three schools: north, south and middle school. The north is represented by Beijing roast duck, which is wrapped in lotus leaf cake and served with various fruit and vegetable ingredients.The middle part is represented by Nanjing Roast Duck, which is directly chopped into chunks and poured with red soup and stew.The south is represented by Guangdong roast duck, which is chopped into small pieces and served with sour plum sauce for dipping, which has a unique flavor.This is all human imagination and wisdom about food.

Li Baotian bid farewell to everyone and went back to Fucheng. Yang Feier saw that the sun was getting hotter, but fortunately, it was not as vicious and sun-drenched as in summer, and said with a smile: "It can be regarded as giving him a chance to lose weight."

Nanny Zhang is also urging her to go back to the village quickly. The eldest lady got up early and was already a little sleepy. The sun is coming up, and she is afraid that the eldest lady will be exposed to the sun. Yang Feier also wants to go back to prepare lunch, so he and Da Hu When people said hello, they all went back.

After settling down for lunch, and waiting for Mrs. Zhang to finish eating, Yang Feier ate it hastily in the kitchen, and Yang Feier hurried back home. Seeing that Mrs. Shen and Gemini were still cooking, there were fish and meat, stewed Seeing Yang Feier coming back, Mrs. Shen said: "It's just in time for you to come back, come and help mother put these vegetables into the earthen pot, it's getting late, and those who work in the field are afraid that it will be early." hungry."

Yang Feier Yinghao, went over and took out the earthen jars, scalded each of them with boiling water, filled them with food, and took the bowls, chopsticks and spoons, and as soon as they were ready, Shen's last dish, scrambled eggs with green peppers, was also out of the pot Now, put it on a plate, then take another plate of the same size and put it in the basket of bowls and chopsticks. The four of them cleaned up the house, locked the door and went to the field to deliver food.

When they came under the holly tree, they called the people in the field to come and eat, and at the same time, they carried Hu Lai's father's bamboo bed under the shade of the tree, and put the wine, vegetables, bowls and chopsticks on the table. Everyone sat down and saw the fish and eggs being put on the table one by one. The person who came to help was taken aback, Second Uncle Tang said, "Why is this just like Chinese New Year?"

Father Hu smiled and said: "It's all hard work, how can you not eat better? Compared with your hard work, this is already slow."

They were polite, they were hungry after all, so they drank a bowl of hoof soup with thick butterflies floating in it, and then the men drank a few glasses of old wine, very happy.Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Shen are also in good spirits when they celebrate happy events, and they chatted with Aunt Tang, and the three of them laughed from time to time.

Everyone knows that Hu's family is helping Zhang's family plant a test field this year, and they don't need to pay taxes or rent, so it's a net profit!It is said that the Hu family has good luck this year, and it will turn around this year. If it continues like this for a few more years, I am afraid that it will become a landowner.

Everyone chatted and laughed, ate and drank, and the host and guest had a good time after a meal. After eating, they put away the bowls, chopsticks and noodles, and returned Father Hu's bamboo bed to their place. They rested for a while under the holly tree, and went to the field again. , into battle.

In the afternoon, a few new members were added to the field, and the progress was even faster. Needless to say, Father Hu, he is a veteran in the field. Hu Kang has also been training in the field for three years, and he works well. But the three of them, Yang Feier and Shuangzi, were too tired to run the transportation. Second Aunt Tang saw that someone had taken over her transportation work, and she had already moved to the threshing box of Wang's and Shen's.

Second Aunt Tang is born with a good singing voice, she likes to sing a few lines when she is happy, the autumn is clear today, and the villagers who watched the excitement have not yet arrived, and the neighbors in Yitian are also good neighbors on weekdays. It can be said that the time and place are favorable, so he cleared his throat, supported the box and sang:
"My sister is picking pomegranates in the South Garden
Which debt collector smashes bricks through the wall

It just happened to hit Xiao Nu's head.

To eat pomegranates you take two
If you want to have a heart-to-heart talk, follow me to the tall building
Why bother hitting me with a brick

yo yo yo
Yide Yide Yaer yo
Why bother hitting me with a brick from the wall~" Second brother Tang stood up straight, with one hand on his hip, and continued to sing:
"If I don't eat your pomegranate, I won't go upstairs
How can the heart-to-heart talk come to your home

Breaking bricks is to ask you to go for a walk. "

Aunt Tang sang:

"Yesterday I took a beating for you
Today I got scolded again for you
Beaten and scolded all because of your little enemy

yo yo yo
Yide Yide Yaer yo
You get beaten and scolded all because of your little enemy."

Uncle Tang sang:

"It hurts to hear that you were scolded.
My sister was beaten like cutting my flesh

Why don't you go down to Yangzhou with me?"

Aunt Tang sang:

"I heard that Yangzhou is right in my heart

Just pack a bag and I'll go with you
Go to Yangzhou and never look back. "

Then the two sang together again:
"Yeah yo yo
Yide Yide Yaer yo
Go to Yangzhou and never look back

Go to Yangzhou and never look back

yo yo yo
Yide Yide Yaer yo
Go to Yangzhou and never look back

Go to Yangzhou and never look back~"
