My 1995 Small Farm Chapter 276

   The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching.

   Life in the countryside is still peaceful and comfortable.

   But there is already a lively atmosphere in the city.

   On Sunday, the spacious streets were full of traffic, and the whistles of cars and motorcycles kept ringing, intertwined with the announcements from electric horns and the sounds of selling various commodities, making it extremely noisy.

   All kinds of fragrant aromas of rice, meat, dim sum and moon cakes, etc. just out of the oven, wafting in the air, teasing people's taste.

  The front of the department store on the corner of the street is crowded with people, and there are long queues, everyone is preparing for the festival.

   Today, Liang Yuemin and Liu Yinhuan were not busy, so they took the little fat man out to go shopping.

   As soon as I came out of the park, I saw the liveliness here, so I went this way, but halfway there, the little fat man who was jumping all the way suddenly stopped in front of a newsstand.

   In addition to newspapers, storybooks, etc., the newsstands at this time also sold soft drinks, snacks and toys.

   When the little fat man saw a fun toy, he squatted in front of the newsstand with great interest and poked around for a while.

  Unexpectedly, just a few times, the little fat man suddenly stopped.

Then he opened his eyes in surprise, turned around and waved his little hands eagerly at Liang Yuemin and the two of them, and said in an excited voice: "Mom and Dad, come here soon, I see my uncle, I see my uncle, it's in the newspaper. "

   Liang and Yuemin were a little stunned when they heard it, but when they came to see it, it turned out that Chen Ling was actually in the newspaper.

   There is no other news in this newspaper.

   It is the news about the emergence of giant turtles and water monsters in the Chenwangzhuang Reservoir in Lingyun County.

   There are a lot of pictures in the newspaper. Among them, there are two pictures of Chen Ling standing on the edge of the reservoir, pointing to a direction in the reservoir to introduce the reporter, and it is adjacent to the layout of a huge old turtle photo, which is a more conspicuous position.

   So the little fat man recognized it at a glance.

   "It turns out that this news report came out, what do I think?"

  Liang Yuemin picked up a newspaper and glanced at it, then smiled and said to Liu Yinhuan: "Don't say it, Fugui is quite photogenic."

   "Well, Fugui and Susu are good looking, and the pictures they take are very good."

  Liu Yinhuan nodded, then took out the money to buy a newspaper.

  The owner of the newsstand, listening to their family of three talking, not only asked curiously, "Do you know the person in this newspaper?"

   "I know, this man is my brother." Liang Yuemin laughed.

  The owner of the newsstand quickly asked after hearing this: "Then what is written in the news, is such a big old turtle true or false?"

   "Of course it's true!"

Seeing that he was a little unconvinced, the little fat man hurriedly answered, and then the two fat men opened their arms wide and gestured hard: "That old turtle is so big, no, no, it's much bigger than this, and he is still leading it by himself. Seven subordinates. When we went to my uncle's house to play, there were many people watching the reservoir and feeding them meat. They were amazing. My uncle also said that there were monsters in the reservoir. It's the same as Journey to the West."

  Little Fatty's ability to express is limited, and he speaks incoherently, making the newsstand owner stunned for a while.

   "This, this is actually really there? Then this place is a bit scary. It is possible to raise such a big turtle. What kind of water monster is there in the water, what if it eats people..."

   Hearing what he said, the little fat man immediately argued: "If you don't eat people, how can you eat people? Uncle's house is fun. Besides, even if monsters eat people, there are dogs and cows in uncle's house to fight monsters..."

   "Xiao Ming, you are talking nonsense again."

  Little Fatty said indignantly, but unfortunately, Liang Yuemin and Liu Yinhuan grabbed his arms and dragged him away before he finished speaking.

   The rest of the kiosk owner held the newspaper and frowned while watching it.

   "Such a big king, isn't this a monster?"

  Chen Wangzhuang's "Giant Turtle" appeared in the newspaper, with the words "Millennium Turtle" in the title.

   At the same time, Chen Ling in the newspaper was also seen by those who were familiar with him and those who were not familiar with him. In the evening, the provincial and municipal stations also broadcast relevant detailed news reports.

   is a not too long topic column, about 20 minutes.

   In addition to Chen Ling, Wang Lishan's conversation with some villagers on the dam was also recorded.

The photographer's shooting skills are good, and they perfectly showed the beauty of Chenwangzhuang's landscape and beauty. Even Chen Ling's farm and fruit forest were also on TV. Heiwa Xiaojin and Xiaobai Niu all followed the scenery. took a handful.

   As the protagonist of the reservoir giant, its true colors are also fully exposed.

  When the audience was shocked and curious, they were also attracted by the beautiful landscape. Those who had a relationship with the channel contacted the acquaintances of the TV station and asked for relevant information.

   After that, not only the reporters who went to the village to interview, but even Liu Yinhuan was called by various friends to inquire.

   Zhao Dahai, Professor Han and others are even more so.

   This means that the current traffic is extremely inconvenient.

   Don't say that every village is connected, not even a highway has been built.

   Otherwise, there is no need to ask people everywhere.

   found it directly.

  Chen Ling naturally had no way of knowing the liveliness outside.

   At this time, taking advantage of the warm sunshine in the afternoon, he went up the mountain with a bucket to catch fish.

  The autumn mountain wind blew across his face, and Chen Ling crossed the clear stream to look for the elf Qinling trout in the stream.

   For ordinary people, this is not an easy job.

  Last time, when the farm was newly built in the spring, I came here with Zhao Dahai, Lynx and the others to fish for trout.

   It took more than two days in total to find so many fish while fishing.

  Chen Ling's own words are simple.

   Find a place where shoals of thin-scaled salmon gather, pour some spiritual water, lure them all over, and put them directly into the cave.

   But he didn't come up the mountain today to catch fish.

   Said to be fishing, which was an excuse for his family, but in fact he went up the mountain to put fish.

   Find a few mountain streams where the trout live, and put the trout in the cave into it.

The purpose of    is also simple.

   There are too many small-scale salmon fry in the cave, and the number is huge.

   Putting it in a mountain stream can help expand the population and improve the genes of the slender salmon in the local mountains.

   In the future, even if a professional finds out that the trout he raised is excellent, and wants to catch some wild trout in the mountains for comparison, it doesn't matter.

The reason why    did this is that Chen Ling was more interested in the trout than selling wine.

   He himself, also likes this gadget.

   Willing to spend a little more effort.

   While playing at the same time, you can also earn money at the same time, which is very good.

  Slimy-scale salmon, don't look down on this thing.

  The truth is much more expensive than ordinary fighting fish.

  According to Han Ninggui, in the late 1980s, this thing reached two yuan a pound.

   In the 1980s, it was two dollars a pound.

   The countryman must have been startled.

  This fish is selling for a sky-high price.

   But in fact, this thin-scaled salmon, also known as the thin-scaled fish, is different from ordinary fish.

   are not comparable to ordinary fish.

   Ordinary fish has a light taste and a strong fishy smell. If you are reluctant to put oil, the fish will not taste good.

   And the slender fish is different.

  This stuff is delicious and has no fishy smell.

   You can simply make a pot of fish soup and sprinkle some salt and flowers.

The taste of    is also extremely good and delicious.

   So this thing is expensive, and it has its own reason for being expensive.

   However, although the trout is expensive, it would be a big mistake to think that this thing can make a fortune.

The reason    is that this thing is a cold water fish.

  Coldwater fish grow slowly and are extremely small.

   For two yuan a pound, a single scalloped salmon can't sell for much.

   Besides, farming has many disadvantages, not to mention that it grows slowly, and the taste of fish raised is not as good as that of wild fish.

   is because once the fish is farmed, without the wild environment, it cannot live against the rapids, and it cannot form a unique meat quality.

   Besides, this fish is rarely seen in the wild, and it is produced in very few places.

   Therefore, no matter how expensive this fish is, it is difficult for ordinary people to make a fortune on it.

   To put it bluntly, raising such fish is like growing ginseng, with slow results and little harvest.

  Like that ginseng, it wants to grow into the thickness of two fingers.

  It takes about six years to grow up.

   If you plant a lot and sell them by the ton, then that's fine. If you go out in large numbers, you can make money.

   But six years is not a short time. No one can tell what happens during this period, and you have to take a lot of risks.

   It's the same with this thin-scaled fish.

   Difficult to raise, difficult to manage, slow to grow meat, good or bad quality, different prices, and risky farming.

   This is also the reason why many places know that slender fish is expensive, but no one raises it.

   Since then.

   Naturally, it shows the preciousness of the fine-scale salmon raised by Chen Ling.

   It tastes even better than the wild one.

   Therefore, Feng Yi's desire to buy all of that mustache was not on impulse.

   He really saw the goodness of this fish, and saw the preciousness of this fish.

   As for the fighting fish.

   On the contrary, he bought it back as an ornamental fish and used it for fun.

   also saw that the fish on Chen Ling's side were more colorful and more fancy than ordinary fighting fish, which meant that a new species appeared.

   All the way up the mountain, from the north mountain to the west ravine, retrograde upward, through a large maple tree, to the mountain lake.

   Yamanaka Lake in the afternoon, under the sunlight, the lake surface is sparkling, and flocks of waterbirds fly and fall by the water, playing with each other, forming a picturesque and beautiful scenery.

   The water birds here are also birds that often go to the farm's orchards. They travel back and forth between the farm and the lake in the mountains. Chen Ling has seen them many times and doesn't care about them.

   He came over with a bucket and looked around. He carefully followed the lakeside to find a place where the trout lived. Finally, he found a deep stream in the southwest, where there were still many people living there.

  This thing likes to swim around. As the water level changes, there are no places to catch fish in the spring, and they all swim away.

   After Chen Ling found a suitable place, he put his hand into the cool and clear stream and began to put fish.

   followed his thoughts.

   Where he stretched out his hand, small fish appeared out of nowhere, scurrying around in the water with their heads and tails waving.

   soon formed a dense school of fish, swimming hard against the clear stream.

   "Well, about five hundred tails, that's enough."

  Chen Ling nodded, got up and carried the bucket to find the next stream.

   While searching, put fish.

  In the end, about 500 small-scale salmon fry were placed in each mountain stream, and then dozens of big fish were taken from the cave and put into buckets, and turned around to wander around the mountains and forests.

   Today up the mountain, neither the dog nor the eagle took him, but he carried the bucket through the bamboo forest, and walked along the stream into the mountain forest of Xishan.

   It was the beginning of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and all kinds of wild fruits in the mountains were ripening one after another.

   Trees and wild vines are all covered with heavy fruits.

   The weather was good today, and there were many people going up the mountain. Before walking far, there were voices in front of you.

  Chen Ling walked over and took a look. It was Wang Lixian who brought Da Ni'er and Si Ni'er, as well as Chen Fang and Chen Ze's family, standing among a bunch of vines, picking fruit.

   "Yo, you guys are picking August fried here."

   "It's wealth and honor. It's different when you guard the mountain. You drill into this mountain every day." Chen Ze smiled.

   After he finished speaking, Chen Fang also smiled and asked, "What are you doing here?"

   "Let's get some slender fish."

   "Oh, catching fish, I also said that you are carrying a bucket, but this thin-scaled fish on the mountain is so small, how can you eat it in one pot?"

  Chen Fang shook his head.

When Lord    was talking, the little doll from Chen Fang's family ran over with two August bombs and handed it to Chen Ling: "Uncle, eat it."

   "Haha, what a little hair, really good."

  Chen Ling put down the bucket, hugged the little baby, took it to fry in August, wiped it clean and shared one with him.

   At this time, August fried can already be eaten.

   However, it has not grown to full maturity yet, and the fruit has not exploded.

   This thing is dark green, about the size of the palm of a hand, and the fruit is kidney-shaped and slightly curved. Every August in the lunar calendar, when it is fully cooked, it will explode from the back, and the opening will be quite large.

  So commonly known as "August Fried", it is also called beef kidney according to its shape.

  It is very sweet and fragrant when it is fully cooked, and it is very delicious.

  However, there are too many seeds here. When eating the whole fruit, you can only **** two mouthfuls of juice, or eat it in your mouth and feel the taste. You can't eat it as much as you eat apples and pears.

   But it is very suitable for juice.

   "Have wealth and honor been held together in the past two days?" Wang Lixian asked at this time.

   "Going down is going down, but my clip has been on for a long time, not to mention wild boars, other gadgets are not fooled."

  Chen Ling smiled and said, "Brother Xian came to the mountains for a sneak peek?"

   "Well, yo, pick some wild grapes by the way, and go back and prepare some wine to drink."

  Wang Lixian was picking wild grapes, Chen Ze and the others were here to hunt pecans.

  Chen Ling just followed them around in the mountains. He spent a short time putting the fish, and he was not in a hurry to go down the mountain.

   A few people chatted while wandering.

"If you want to find honeycombs, you can go to Nanshan to find them. There are many there. Otherwise, you can go deeper on the Xishan side. There are also many wild bee nests. It's very good, you have to light it and smoke it."

   "Oh, that's it, then I'll go around Nanshan tomorrow."

   After saying this, the few people didn't pay much attention to other places.

  Suddenly "Wow-" a sharp cry almost scared the soul out.

  The woman and the child trembled with fright, and their faces turned pale.

   "What's wrong, what's wrong?" Chen Fang's husband, who was not familiar with the mountains and forests, asked in a panic.

  Wang Lixian listened carefully to the direction of the sound, frowned and said, "It is estimated that my clip caught something."

  Chen Ling also said: "This voice sounds like a cat, don't get caught by a raccoon."

In the mountains, gadgets such as raccoons and mice are the most wasteful clips, because the clips are unusable because of the **** smell, and the smell has to be removed again with cow dung, donkey dung, etc. .

   "It's hard to say."

  Wang Lixian shook his head: "Let's go, let's go and have a look."

   Then a few people walked around to where the sound came from.

   But when I walked over, there was nothing left, only the **** half tail was left on the clip.

   "Fuck, run away."

  Wang Lixian cursed inwardly, bent down and took off his tail, grabbed it in his hand and looked at it, it was incredible.

   The calm man suddenly widened his eyes.

   Then his brows became tighter and tighter, he turned and handed it to Chen Ling: "There's something wrong with this tail, I look at it like a leopard's tail, can you see what's going on?"

   "Leopard tail?"

   Chen Ling was stunned when he heard the words, knowing that the leopard tail in Wang Lixian's mouth was definitely not a local leopard, but a real leopard.

   took it over and looked at it carefully. It really looks like a leopard's tail. The tail of a leopard, that is, a male clouded leopard, has such a long tail.

   "That's not right, the last time we saw a leopard here was six years ago. It's been so many years, doesn't it mean that there is no such thing?"

   "I don't know either. Who can tell what's going on in the mountains?"

  Wang Lixian sighed and saw that Chen Ze and the others were a little frightened, so he didn't say more.

   After that, he slid around several other clips, and Wang Lixian immediately scolded: "The wild boar of the dog days, is it a camp this year?"

  Chen Ling and the others took a closer look. It turned out that these clips were not empty, but they were all held by little wild boars. There was also a clip that was carried away by the wild boar, leaving a string of scarlet blood on the ground.

When Chen Ling saw this, he couldn't help laughing: "Good boy, you are so energetic, you can still run away if your leg is pinched, this is a big lonely pig, brother Xian, let's go up the mountain tomorrow and chase after him. , If you don't chase, such a big pig will lose a lot of money if it dies in the mountains."
