My 1995 Small Farm Chapter 440

  Although the rain today is not small, it is not the kind of particularly heavy rainstorm.

  For the little dolls, it's not a big deal.

  Especially the school's busy farming holiday is over soon, so if you don't take the opportunity to play more quickly, it's thanks.

So it didn't take long for Wang Zhenzhen to call a large group of kids from the village. There were seven or eight-year-olds like Liu Nier and Xizi, and four or five-year-olds like Komori and Stinky. Anyway, in the countryside, the older ones lead the younger , nothing unusual, hula la directly called more than a dozen dolls.

   But those who raise silkworms are all older.

  Holding all kinds of bottles and boxes in his arms, they all came over lively.

   But what is strange is that their silkworms spin and cocoon very quickly this year.

   Not only the silkworms that Wang Zhenzhen raises alone are spinning, and they don't like to eat much, the same is true for Liu Nier, Xizi, and Zhuwa.

  It is equivalent to no one winning.

   Wang Zhenzhen was very depressed.

  However, she quickly put this matter behind her, and happily asked Chen Ling to teach them how to build a silkworm mountain.

   "Come on, follow me to get the straw."

  Chen Ling found a ball of twine, took them to the kitchen, pulled out a few handfuls of wheat straw from the haystack that caught fire, and distributed them to them.

   Then use scissors to cut the straw into a normal length, about as long as eating chopsticks.

Then tie the straws together with twine, and weave them as you tie them. Soon, the straws in Chen Ling's hands were tied like a feather duster, or like a mace made of grass. The straws stretched out like thorns. Open, layer after layer.

   This made Canshan out.

   "Is this Canshan? It's so hard to get."

  Wang Siyi was very interested in letting silkworms cocoon on the silkworm mountain at first, but she was clumsy and couldn't learn it, so she made a mess.

  The little dolls are not doing well either.

  So Chen Ling had to tie one for each of them.

  Wang Siyi was still not willing to give up, and persistently asked Chen Ling to teach her how to make up.

   "It's fine if you can't weave it well. I'll teach you how to weave a grass grid silkworm mountain. It's easy to get stuck in your hands."

  Chen Ling persuaded.

   There are many types of silkworm mountains, just let the silkworms climb up and cocoon.

  If you have a lot of silkworms, just weave some rough grass grids to save trouble or to take cocoons conveniently.

  Wang Susu raised some before she was pregnant with Ruirui. At that time, the situation was relatively urgent, and the silkworm mountain that the young couple built was made of grass and very rough.

  The silkworm mountain we are weaving now is because there are few silkworms, and the silkworm box is also small, so we can't fit the grass grid weaving.

   "No, I must learn."

  Wang Siyi became more and more persuasive, unwilling to admit defeat.

  One is that this thing is interesting. No one in Wandao has raised silkworms for a long time. She has never seen silkworm mountains, nor silkworms climbing mountains to make cocoons. It is very fresh.

  Secondly, Wang Zhenzhen was unknowingly infected and distracted. I felt the joy of raising small bugs and animals. I was a little addicted. I wanted to go back and raise them for fun. Naturally, I wanted to learn.

  Of course, as a careful girl, I naturally want to do the things I am interested in beautifully.

  That serious posture made Zhou Weijun, Ding Haidong and others who came to eat couldn't help being surprised when they saw it.

   Zhou Weijun even joked: "Siyi has already started to learn handicrafts. Such an ingenious and handy woman will definitely be a good wife in the future. You stay here and let Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang tell you about her husband's family."

   "Bah, I don't understand anything, this is Canshan, okay, it's used by silkworms for weaving silk."

  Wang Siyi gave him a sideways glance.

   "Oh, is that right, our Miss Wandao knows how to be a silkworm mountain. It's because I didn't know it. I'll serve you a bowl of porridge as an apology."

  Zhou Weijun chuckled and served everyone a bowl.

   Then he said to the children: "Really, do you still drink porridge?"

   "I don't drink anymore."

  Wang Zhenzhen responded, thought for a while, and then shouted: "Brother Wei Jun, why don't you bring us some zongzi."

   Zongzi can be used purely as a snack. Little children in the country have a big appetite. Although they have eaten, they will be hungry again soon after leaving the house.

"okay."

   Zhou Weijun gave each of them a zongzi from the grate.

  The little dolls squatted there, surrounding their respective silkworm boxes, peeling rice dumplings while watching the silkworm babies climb up the silkworm mountain.

  Zhou Weijun and Ding Haidong came over with their job bowls to watch: "Good guy, it's quite fun, and now we're starting to climb up."

  I saw Wang Zhenzhen's silkworm box, just put it on the silkworm mountain, and there were silkworms climbing up immediately.

   This is also because there is no suitable place to cocoon in the silkworm box. Now that there is a silkworm mountain, they will naturally climb up happily.

   "Did Haidong raise silkworms for fun when he was a child?"

   "I have raised them, I raised them in matchboxes. At that time, the children in the city also raised them for fun. We also raised scorpions in the dormitory."

   "Wow, we also had scorpions."

When Wang Zhenzhen heard this, he immediately regained his energy, and then said to Wang Siyi who was still struggling to pierce the silkworm mountain next to her: "Sister Siyi, do you know that if the scorpion is not fed, the big scorpion will eat the little scorpion. It's interesting."

   "Huh? So cruel, I dare not raise such poisonous insects."

  Wang Siyi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Are you still raising it?"

  Wang Zhenzhen shook his head: "No, we raise scorpions for fighting, and then they were accidentally eaten by chickens."

   "The chicken was eaten? Aren't chickens afraid of scorpions?"

   "Don't be afraid, my brother-in-law said that the chicken is the natural enemy of poisonous insects like scorpions and centipedes. It was also shown in Journey to the West, and Lord Pleiades Star is a big rooster, which ate the big centipede in one bite."

  Everyone laughed when they heard the words: "I really know so much. I can see that I have learned a lot by watching TV, and I am far better than other children."

   "It's nothing, my brother-in-law can still cook the food in Dream of the Red Chamber, it's delicious."

  Wang Zhenzhen smiled, and immediately surprised everyone who was joking. He stared at Chen Ling and asked him how many good things he had hidden.

  Chen Ling said that when the weather cleared, he would make one or two fun and delicious dishes for them to try.

  While speaking, the silkworm mountain on Wang Zhenzhen's side was already covered with silkworms, and some looming silkworms were spit out by these silkworm babies, hanging in a messy net.

  Look carefully, it still looks a little shiny.

  In the silkworm boxes of other little guys, there were also signs of spinning silk.

   Seeing this, the little dolls screamed in surprise.

  The silkworms I raised by myself, watching them grow up day by day, from hatching to cocooning and spinning, the joy and satisfaction are indescribable.

   "Are you going to cocoon?"

   Seeing this scene, even Wang Siyi, who was competing with Canshan, stopped, and came to observe curiously.

Chen Ling shook his head: "Not yet, these silkworms are fixing their silkworm positions now, just like spiders weaving webs, they have to fix the positions of several corners of the web. Once the silkworm positions are fixed, the silkworms will It will start to make cocoons, and silkworms make cocoons very quickly, and it only takes a day or two.

  When the silkworms turn into silkworm moths, they will break out of their cocoons. At this time, we must prepare a piece of paper for the silkworm moths to produce seeds. Keep this silkworm paper well, so that we can continue to raise silkworms in the coming year..."

"So this is ah."

  Wang Siyi's eyes became bright immediately, and she moved closer to Wang Zhenzhen and said, "Really, you will share some silkworm paper with me then? My sister will bring you some delicious local delicacies from Wandao next time."

   "Okay, sister Siyi, is the pineapple you mentioned earlier delicious?"

  Wang Zhenzhen nodded, she didn't know how to be polite at all, and said with a smile.

  Wang Siyi chuckled: "What are you eating with pineapples? It's the same as pineapples. Besides, those are not easy to bring. Sister will bring you something else, and you will be satisfied."

  She chatted and laughed among the dolls.

   Zhou Weijun and others chatted with Chen Ling about this special year.

   "If this year goes well, you can go to places like Xiangjiang and Wandao in the future... Let's go play together then."

   These words made Chen Ling's heart skip a beat.

  I thought: "That's right, Xiangjiang is coming back this year. If it doesn't work, let the second brother print some cultural shirts and sell them."

  Even the bosses of Wandao flew over the Yellow River with excitement. Everyone's enthusiasm for the return of Xiangjiang is evident. Cultural shirts will definitely work.

  All kinds of shoulder bags, school bags, badges and so on can also be made.

   Making money is sure to make money, but it's a one-shot deal.

  The advantage is that the investment is small, the risk is small, and the market is huge.

   It doesn't even matter if you have business experience or not, as long as you have the goods, you can make a steady profit.

   "Let's do this first, no matter what, let the second brother make a fortune first and then talk about future plans..."

  Chen Ling thought silently, planning to write a letter to Wang Qingzhong later, and start to wholesale some fabrics next month.

   In fact, there are quite a lot of opportunities to make money, such as crayfish, but he is too lazy to go out and make trouble, so it is just right to leave it to his relatives.

  On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, he thought about whether it would be okay to let the second elder brother and his wife make some spicy noodles.

  Latiao also started to rise this year in 1997.

  There is nothing for sale yet.

  When I told Wang Qingzhong, I also told them through Sun Yanhong's lobster shop, and told them that they had a new style of snacks.

   During the next two days of harvesting wheat, I sneaked in and simply made two pieces of bean curd for them to taste, which won unanimous praise.

  Speaking of the idea of ​​this spicy strip, it was the idea that came to my mind after I saw the "Vinegar Treasure" from the old greasy house and mixed it with spicy peppers.

   "Well, even if the second brother and the others really want to make spicy noodles in the future, they must be clean and hygienic, not only for students to like, but also for parents to accept."

  In fact, not to mention spicy noodles, even instant noodles cannot be completely hygienic and clean.

   Thinking about these things in my heart.

  Ruirui's clear and clear milk voice came from outside, humming rather annoyed, as if she was arguing with someone or something.

  Chen Ling came back to his senses, and went out to see, it turned out that it was Little Thing who was picking up snail shells in the rain with Yaya.

Behind them, Gao Xiulan held an umbrella for the two of them. At this time, the little cat picked up a fish that was crackling in the rain and was about to run to the side to enjoy it. Unfortunately, Ruirui grabbed the tail and dragged it to the front, like riding a black baby. The **** sat on it and didn't let it move.

   Then he reached out to pick the little cat's mouth.

  Gao Xiulan almost frightened her heart when she saw this, and hurriedly said, "God, you are more courageous than anyone else, what will you do if the cat's paw scratches you."

This little cat is about to grow into a big cat now, very strong, I scratched it anxiously, especially the leather doll like Ruirui even sat it under his buttocks, this guy hurt a key position, the little doll is really dangerous of.

   Fortunately, this little cat has been with the puppies since he was a child, knowing that Ruirui should not be messed with, and often hides with the puppies when they see him, and dare not resist when he is caught.

  It was just meowing in panic, and its tail was shaking back and forth nervously, constantly.

   "What's the matter? I even grabbed the fish with the cat, do you want to eat fish?"

  Chen Ling walked over and gave the brat a light kick. When Ruirui saw him coming, his eyes lit up, and he called out to Dad, and smiled and pulled the keg to show him.

  Yaya shouted from the side: "Uncle, we caught so many snails, let's have fried snails for lunch."

   "There are too many worms in the snail shell at this time, it's not good for people to eat, so let's feed it to chickens."

  Chen Ling smiled slightly: "But you can catch some big snails like this, and they are delicious."

   As he spoke, he picked up a walnut-sized grass snail from the puddle at his feet. It was about the same color as an escargot, and it was hard to distinguish in the rain.

   But as Chen Ling said, grass snails are much better than field snails. At this time, the weather is warm, and there are many parasites in the field snails and river mussels, and they eat the diaphragm.

   Not as clean as grass snails.

   "Okay, then let's catch snails."

  Yaya responded obediently, grabbed Ruirui's hand, and the two of them searched around with the small bucket.

  Gao Xiulan followed them with an umbrella, turned her head to Chen Ling and said, "There are a lot of water fish by the side of the canal, and they all swam up with the rainwater one by one. You can cook a pot of small miscellaneous fish for lunch."

   "Okay, the fish that came up today must be enough to eat."

  Fish like running water. When it rains heavily, once the water in ditches and ponds overflows, the fish in the water will scramble to swim against the water and jump up.

  In some years, there is too much rain, and it doesn't stop for several days and nights. Although the rain is small, there will be no floods, but in the ponds, puddles and small river ditches, many fish follow the overflowing water to fill the village.

  Seeing the water channel eye of the villager's house, he frantically swam into the yard along the water flow as if his head was squeezed out.

  When Chen Ling went to the front yard, Wang Cunye and Zhao Yubao were together, and three old men were wearing raincoats, near the lotus pond, scooping fish in the rain with a ladle.

   Seeing this, Chen Ling went to the firewood room where the sundries were stored and took out two large beard cages, and put them at the joints between the two canals and the lotus pond to block them.

  In this way, the fish swimming against the current from the lotus pond to the canal will be blocked, and all of them will swim into the beard cage, and will not jump ashore again.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two whisker cages were put in place, a palm-sized crucian carp suddenly jumped up from the lotus pond, jumped over the big whisker cage stuck in the broken channel, and leaped to the shore, crackling. Jumping up and down in the rain.

   "I'm going, you are going to heaven."

  Chen Ling was taken aback for a moment, and just as he was about to pick it up, he saw another water channel, where many fish jumped out of the lotus pond and fell to the shore continuously, tumbling back and forth.

  Zhao Yubao and old man Zhong were stunned for a moment when they saw it, and couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, your fish is so wild, it can't be stopped, it's going to jump up, like flying."

  Wang Cunye shook his head helplessly: "The beard cage is still a bit too small to stop the fish, Lingzi, go and get the chicken cover over here."
