Chapter Nineteen
The most feared thing in the wheat harvest season is rain, so taking advantage of the good weather in the past few days, the villagers are rushing to dry their wheat!

There are guillotines in the village, but not many, only a few have them, so they have to line up to use them, and it just so happens that there is Fang Shi's family among these few. Xiang Yu, Youran, Fang Mu, and Zhang Shui all help each other, and the guillotine is used first by these four families.

After Fang Shi and his family finished their work, it was finally Xiang Yu's turn. This was what Xiang Yu asked for. Originally, Fang Shi said that he wanted Xiang Yu's family first, but Xiang Yu felt that it would be good if he would help. How could he go home first? , so only the three of them came to their house after they were finished!

Youran's family has a lot of land, so they got up early to work. The bundles of wheat were moved to the guillotine, and then the ones close to the ears of wheat were cut off, and finally they were picked aside to dry, so that the sun could shine on them. The place is relatively even, and several people took turns to press the guillotine on nearly ten acres of wheat, and it was only in the afternoon that all these were done.

The ears of wheat are drying on the field, but they are turned over every hour, and there are not many comparisons, and they are still somewhat thick when spread out. The other straws are spread out next to the house and let him dry there. As long as they are dry, they can be used for fire, and there is no need to collect firewood every day.

In ancient times, iron was a very precious thing, so many agricultural tools were still made of wood or bamboo, just like the wooden fork Xiang Yu is using now, that is, the front three thin woods are joined together, but the distance is about a palm width, and then Then use a piece of wood of uniform thickness as the handle, so that a fork becomes. Xiang Yu remembered that the heads of the forks at home were all made of iron, but the iron was hollow and only the handle was made of wood, so it was not heavy to use. Now this wooden fork is heavier than iron because it is made of solid wood.

Xiang Yu and Youran started from both ends, picked up the ears of wheat with a fork, and then turned them over to spread them out, so that the ears of wheat underneath would not get moldy and fall off because they could not be exposed to the sun. There are many ears of wheat and they are very thick. The two of them have to pick them apart once an hour. Xiang Yu and Youran's hands have blistered at the first time. It is really heavy. In the fork, a fork of wheat ears Also heavy.

It's just that it's a bit better, after all, there is still an hour's rest time, and the two of them almost use it to take care of Xiaoxiao during the rest time. I don't know it's because the weather is too hot, Xiaoxiao is always very fussy, you can put him on the ground and he can crawl very fast, so you have to watch, otherwise, if you are not careful, people will crawl The ones are gone.

There is a river not far from the place where Xiang Yu and the others dry their wheat. The water in the river is not deep. The side of the river almost reaches the calf, and the deepest part in the middle reaches Xiang Yu's chest or neck. Xiang Yu remembers that the river in his hometown used to be clear and shallow, but later because of sand dredging, the entire riverbed was dug and there were deep pits everywhere. Moreover, the pits are small at the bottom and big at the bottom, and there are countless large and small bunkers. Because of this, many people have died in it! And later, due to various pollutions, the water has become very cloudy and exudes all kinds of stench!

Fortunately, there are no life-threatening bunkers here, and there is no pollution from modern industry. The river here is very clear, but not the kind that can be seen to the bottom, with some light blue color. As the saying goes, when the water is clear, there will be no fish. Although this river is constantly flowing, it is not turbid. There are still many fish in it. At least Xiang Yu saw several.

Xiang Yu has always said that he wants to catch some fish to keep in the space, or to catch and eat. People here seem to seldom catch fish. Maybe they don't have leisure time. After all, the farm work is too busy. Wait until the cat is free. No more fish!

It's impossible to catch big fish without tools, at least Xiang Yu can't, anyway, it's okay to rest, now I'll take advantage of this hour of rest to see if I can catch the fish, as for Xiaoxiao, of course it's leisurely Come, he doesn't want to be tossed about by a doll for an hour.

Xiang Yu found a clay pot and covered the mouth, sprinkled some broken cake crumbs in it, then covered the mouth with only a small hole, and then sank directly into the water, so that all the small fish fry would swim in Yes, he did this a lot when he was a child, but the little fish was turned into dried fish by his mother, and then fried with garlic cloves and peppers, and then rolled up with pancakes to eat, the taste is not to mention how fragrant up.

It's just that Xiang Yu decided to catch some small fry and put them in the space first. As for the big fish, it's not that he doesn't want to catch them. Who can't find tools? There is no fishing net, no fishing rod, and the river is quite deep, so there is no way to stop the dam. , let alone using a fork directly, he has never speared a fish since he was a child, although he often forks, this is really a tragedy, so now he can only look at the fish and sigh, thinking about whether to find a needle Bend it for him and make a fishhook? Although it is a hook without barbs, I don't know if I can catch fish?

It was almost a quarter of an hour, and Xiang Yu pulled up the clay pot tied to the cane. There were a lot of small fish fry in it. The fish fry were not big, only the size of a child's little finger, and there were quite a lot of them densely packed!

Youran smiled and came down to see, "There are so many, but this fish is so small, how do you eat it?"

Xiang Yu knocked Youran's head funny, "I know how to eat, this is what we raise in the space. Yes, save yourself the trouble of catching big fish and producing small ones?" He even laughed out loud when he saw You Ran's embarrassed little face.

Put the fish fry into the space, and then sprinkle some broken cake crumbs into it. The previous ones have been eaten by the fish. Now catch more fish fry. The more fish fry, the better, but I don't know when they will grow into large edible ones. fish?

After putting down the pot, Xiang Yu walked along the river bank. He wanted to see if he could find the lobster's hole. The lobster basically digs a hole in the mud in the shallow water on the bank and hides in it, but there is a hole and there is a hole inside. If there are shrimps, there will be slight air bubbles bulging or bubbling at the hole. When I was a child, I used this method to catch a lot of lobsters! Not too far away, he saw a lobster hole on the shore. He didn't dare to reach in directly, but found a small stick to pull out, and quickly reached out to grab it!

The lobster that Xiang Yu caught was quite big. He saw that there was no one else except Youran, so he put it in the space. There are quite a lot of wild lobsters, and he caught quite a few even if they were not in the cave. , All of them were thrown into the pond of space by him. The greedy eyes of Lei Ran also wanted to grab it, but he hugged and smiled and couldn't help it. He was so anxious that he walked around Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu didn't allow him to approach the river, and he was holding a child, what if his feet slipped!

However, he saw that Xiaoxiao had already fallen asleep, so he put him in the shade where they had piled up wheat stalks on his field, and then found a cane and tied it to a tree on the side, so that he wouldn't let You Ran grab it. Just find him a stick and then find a thinner rope, tie a worm to the end of the rope, and let him catch shrimp directly.

At the beginning, You Ran was too anxious, so she pulled him up as soon as she caught him, but she didn't catch any of them. In the end, Xiang Yu taught him to take his time to catch them. It may be because there are very few people fishing for shrimps here, those shrimps are a bit clumsy, and as a result, You Ran and Xiang Yu caught a lot of them with fishing belts.

Before, Xiang Yu used his coat to tie a bag to a stick, and then stuck it in a place where the water was relatively shallow, to see if he could catch a fish or two. He didn't hold out much hope, but who knew When he went to collect it, he found that many things were blocked, two fish weighing more than a catty, one crucian carp and one black fish, and the rest were small shrimps, even large lobsters, and a few palm-sized ones The yellow catfish with black back and yellow belly is commonly known as barkfish and yellow thorn, and there are some small bugs and aquatic plants in the miscellaneous water. Seeing that the harvest was quite bountiful, Xiang Yu was overjoyed, he hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and finally had fish to eat. Youran hasn't eaten shrimp yet, and no one here has caught them to eat them. I have caught all fish, but they are all fishy and not very tasty, so few people eat them. It's just that Xiang Yu told Youran at the beginning that this is a good thing, and it's delicious when it's made, but in exchange for Youran's suspicious eyes, Xiang Yu didn't know what's going on until he asked, because there weren't many seasonings here, only oil, salt and soy sauce Vinegar, so the fish is very fishy, ​​and it is still cooked with lard, can this be delicious?

Xiang Yu made promises in front of Youran several times before she convinced Youran that there are a lot of seasonings in their family that can cook fish and shrimp deliciously. The ingredients are simple, but the taste of the food is quite delicious, some even say it is delicious, so this time it should not be bad!
