My 1995 Small Farm

   Chapter 253 The attention of the old turtle

  It rained all day and night.

  Chen Ling was surprised to find that his son was very well behaved on rainy days. He didn't cry or make trouble at night. He could sleep peacefully, and even thunder couldn't wake him up.

   This is quite surprising.

   But no matter what, he and Wang Susu can finally get a good night's sleep, which is very good.

  Listening to the thunderstorm, the family of three slept comfortably all night.

  The rain stopped in the early morning, and the sound of frogs continued outside the farm.

   Open the window, the morning after the rain, the air is cool and the bamboo trees are as new.

  The breeze on the mountain came caressing, blowing the lotus leaves in the lotus pond, the lotus leaves swayed with the wind, and the water droplets on the leaves jumped into the water, causing a crisp and pleasant "ding dong" sound.

  Chen Ling rarely slept soundly and was in a good mood.

   Before his son woke up, he and Wang Susu washed his son's soaked diaper together.

   Then he went to the chicken coop and duck pen to clean up the water.

   After doing this, change the medicine for Harrier.

   The injuries on Haruzi have almost recovered by now.

   Only the wound on the wings needs to be changed again.

  This position is more critical. If the recovery is not good, it will have a great impact on the future flying ability of the Harrier.

   The medicine Chen Ling used for it was still the Golden Chuang Medicine passed down by the old man's family, but it was prepared with herbal medicines from Dongtian, which belonged to the enhanced version of the Golden Chuang Medicine.

   So the injury healed quickly.

   "Er Bald woke up and came out to take medicine."

   Walking under the eaves, Chen Ling knocked on the bamboo basket placed on the water tank. When he knocked, a bird head emerged from the bamboo basket and looked around vigilantly.

   After seeing that it was him, he relaxed his vigilance and let Chen Ling grab it out and put it on the eagle pole hanging under the eaves.

   Harrier is now resting on the eagle pole that Chen Ling prepared for it during the day, and at night it burrows into the bamboo basket and curls up on the cloth strips and old cotton wool.

  It is cold in the mountains at night, but it is very warm in the bamboo basket.

   In short, this has wisdom, it is to know how to enjoy more than ordinary things.

  I still feed with spiritual water every day. Now that I am injured, I don’t have to worry about food.

   In the past few days, not only has it grown twice, but it is also much prettier than before.

   Taupe feathers, chestnut pockmarks on the abdomen, strong and powerful yellow claws standing quietly on the eagle pole, and extremely sharp toes.

   The most prominent is a pair of amber eyes, lively and agile, very human.

   In front of Chen Ling, it completely relaxed its guard, enjoying the caress of the big hand, very intimate and well-behaved.

   Now the Harrier's body has soared, and it can be compared to some small eagles and eagles, but the appearance is still the Harrier's appearance. It is more slender and handsome than the eagle and the eagle, and it looks very beautiful.

  Chen Ling was very satisfied with this: "Okay, second bald man, after the hair grows, it still looks weird."

   And it is worth mentioning that Erbaldzi has undergone some wonderful changes since he was rescued by Chen Ling last year. For example, his night vision ability is much stronger than that of ordinary eagles.

  Ordinary hawks have strong vision during the day, and they can see things on the ground clearly when they fly high in the sky, but at night, their night vision is extremely weak, and it is no different from being blind.

  Er Baldy has gotten rid of this weakness.

   "Come on, spread your wings, let me see how good your injury is?"

   Chen Ling said this, and it really understood it. With a soft chirping, it spread its wings carefully, with soft and well-behaved eyes, and let Chen Ling observe the injuries on its wings.

   "Okay, it's recovering well, and it will be able to fly in two or three days."

  Chen Ling observed it, then reached out to touch its hook-like beak, and the second bald man narrowed his eyes comfortably, enjoying his touch very much.

   "Heiwa, take your little brother out to fight two mice and come back."

   turned around and instructed Heiwa, and Heiwa ran out of the farm with the little yellow dog, and after a while, the two guys ran back with a mouse each and brought them to him.

   There are a lot of mouse holes inside and outside the orchard. There are mountain mice and ground mice. There are no shortage of such small things everywhere.

   Following Heiwa and Xiaojin, the little yellow dog has not learned any other skills, but his ability to catch mice is out of the blue.

Don't look at its character as naughty and mischievous as Heiwa, there is no qualitative, and the hunting ability is not outstanding, but the hunting ability in the bones is not weak, and there is a desire to actively hunt. Unfamiliar wild things break in and know how to drive them away.

   This is Hutouhuang’s innate hunting ability buried deep in his bones.

  Unfortunately, it is impetuous and playful, so it is only suitable for catching small prey such as mice and rabbits.

   A dog who can't stand it can't be brought into the mountains.

When the    mouse was caught, Chen Ling caught the second bald man and put him on the ground to let him eat.

  Er Bald is used to this kind of feeding.

   stepped on the mouse with his paws and opened his mouth to tear it.

  Its alertness is always high.

   This is also the case when eating. After catching the prey, he usually presses the food under the paw with his mouth, and after taking the bite twice, he looks up, looks around, and observes the situation.

  If there is no abnormality, bow your head and eat again.

  The claws press on the prey, eat it once, and raise its head once to observe the surroundings.

   This has become a habit over time.

  Chen Ling watched the Harrier eat with great interest. When it ate all the two mice, he cleaned up the rest and went to the kitchen in the back to make breakfast by himself.

  Breakfast will be ready soon, millet porridge, fried steamed bread slices, served with pickles and sour radish, simple is simple, but the couple eats it very sweetly.

  After the meal, the sun slowly came out, and it was clear after the rain, and the farmhouse and orchard became lively again.

Seeing that his son was breastfeeding quietly in Wang Susu's arms, not crying or making trouble, Chen Ling teased him twice, then picked up the fishing net and went from the lotus pond, the canal, to the river ditch at the foot of the mountain to clear the fallen leaves, and check by the way. The growth of all kinds of fish.

   Ordinary fish he doesn't care much at the moment.

   It is mainly trout, as well as ornamental fish such as mullet and betta.

   After the busy work, Chen Ling went to see the trout first.

   The trout is raised in the canals outside, and the canals in the cave are also raised.

  This fish is impatient by nature and likes to survive in the clear and fast-flowing streams of the mountains.

   All of these characteristics have created its unique meat, firm and delicious, and unusually delicious.

  In the canal of the farmhouse, the small-scale salmon raised in this small section have changed a lot after a few months.

   Not only has he grown a lot, his body has become more slender, and his posture and curves have become more perfect.

  Chen Ling fished out two of them, and after they caught them, they fluttered and struggled endlessly, and the strength was really not small.

   "It looks very thin and has no meat, but it's really fat when you catch it."

   Feeling the sensuality of the fine-scaled salmon in his hand, Chen Ling smiled happily, not bad, not in vain.

   So I brought the bucket, fished a few more and put them in the bucket, ready to taste it at noon.

   Then he released the chickens, ducks and geese, and followed him to the mountain, and entered the cave to observe the individually cultivated ornamental fish.

   When these fish were put on the farm, Chen Ling wanted to raise them in the lotus pond at first. Later, he felt that the lotus flowers hadn't grown up, and they didn't look good if they were bare, so he didn't put them in it.

   moved them all to the cave and opened a new pond for them.

   But after the fish was put in, he only saw it once or twice in total.

   Now that I come over and take a look, the changes in the rouge are not very obvious.

Breeding is very fast. The fry of the carmine fish are in groups, with black and light red horizontal stripes. The big fish are very beautiful. Except for the light-colored belly, they are all strong carmine red. When they swim, they look like It is the flames that are floating, very beautiful and beautiful.

   "You can even eat this rouge."

  Chen Ling smacking his lips, watching these fishes grow bigger and fatter, he still has a sense of accomplishment.

  The fun of farming is nothing more than that.

   Watching the things that you raise grow up day by day, the weight increases day by day, and when it is time to harvest, you can sell it for a good price.

   There will be an indescribable sense of satisfaction in my heart.

   Then he moved the lush lotus leaves in the pond to find other fish.

  Compared with rouge, these fish are small, and when people approach, they swim away, and are covered by lotus leaves.

   As a result, the other fish were nothing, and the fighting fish really surprised him.

  Nothing else, this fish is too liveable.

   Take a closer look at the bottom of the canal, the good guy is lying on a dense layer, like a large group of tadpoles, but much smaller than the tadpoles.

   As soon as he opened the lotus leaf, the fry inside would swim around in a chaotic manner, turning into a whirlpool when viewed from top to bottom, as spectacular as a school of fish in the sea.

   "My dear, there are so many fry, why don't you put them outside."

   While muttering, he suddenly looked stunned and noticed a phenomenon, these big fish seem to have become more beautiful, their colors are more vivid, their tails have become longer, more smooth and stretched, and they swim more beautifully.

There are many such fork-tailed bettas in the south of Fenglei Town. People there call them "flower handkerchiefs", which means that their fins and tails are long and fluffy, and they look like flowers in the water. Handkerchief as nice.

   Now Chen Ling recognizes this title even more.

   "Some are indeed beautiful, but why are some ugly?"

   After observing carefully for a while, Chen Ling suddenly frowned.

   It's not ugly either, just because the tail is not scattered, it doesn't look like a fighting fish, but the color on the body is still pretty.

   After thinking about it carefully, Chen Ling picked out the beautiful ones and the ugly ones, and put them into the two channels outside the hut.

   "Let's see what special changes you will have next."

   "Well, pick out these fish with obvious changes in their characteristics, and choose a species every time there is a change..."

"what?"

   "Isn't that what our ancestors used to cultivate goldfish?"

   "That's the right way to say it, it's still very interesting."

Chen Ling thought for a while, and then fished out some of the beautiful betta fish. After returning to the farm, he put them into another canal, which was closer to the place where he poured the spiritual water. Here, some daily observations are appropriate.

   Now there are two streams and four canals, two surrounding the farmhouse and two filling the lotus pond.

   The two canals that poured the fish into the lotus pond were blocked by Chen Ling's mesh.

   "Okay, I'm done, go back to kill the fish."

   clapped his hands, Chen Ling picked up the bucket with the fine-scale salmon and walked back.

  The further back he went, he found that the back of the farm was very lively.

   "Liu Ni'er, Pig Baby, you lead people to line up, let's start counting money now."

  Chen Ling walked through the hall and walked to the back of the farm, and found his sister-in-law sitting on a bamboo chair with her legs crossed, waving a small book in her hand and shouting loudly.

   After drinking, he said to Xizi who was standing beside him: "Come on, Xizi, you help me remember, whoever received the money, you can tick the name."

  Kiko is an honest girl, and when she heard her order, she nodded lightly.

Wang Zhen nodded with satisfaction, took out a handful of money, and ordered a few cards: "Liu Ni'er, you caught three catties and seven taels of scorpions, and you know the shells for three taels, this is fifty-eight dollars, You take it."

   "Snot baby, you are less than three jins, my sister and brother-in-law said to give you three jins and come to collect the money."

   "Komori, Pig Baby..."

   Which little boy is called, that little boy will run forward happily, take the money in his hand happily, and keep counting.

  Good guy, Chen Ling was stunned by this scene, and the bucket he was carrying almost fell to the ground.

   was stunned for a while before walking over, "Really, what are you doing?"

  Wang Zhenzhen raised his head and said calmly: "We are sending money, the money for selling scorpions, my sister said I would send it to them, I think she still needs to look at Rui Rui, so I help her send it."

   "Well, why did you come here to send money?"

   "Brother-in-law, you are so stupid, how can you send money outside and let people see it?"

  Wang Zhenzhen gave him a very strange look: "Let others know that we caught scorpions and sold them for a lot of money, and they will all come to rush to catch them, and we won't be able to catch them by then."

   "That's right, uncle, last year we sold scorpions for 20 yuan, and they all rushed to catch them when they found out. I Dada said that they were fighting on the mountain for scorpions."

   "I also heard that Uncle Fugui caught the scorpion in your fruit forest. If you let others know that there are many scorpions here, they must run over to catch them. It can annoy you to death."

   The little dolls talked so much, Chen Ling actually thought it made sense.

   "Okay, then, after the money is distributed, take the money and go back and give it to your parents."

   "This money is not petty money. Your aunt said it would be given to you, but it must have been sent to your home by your little aunt."

  Chen Ling glared at the sister-in-law as she spoke. With Wang Susu's temper, she would definitely not send it directly to the little boys. It must be the little girl who made her own decision.

Seeing Wang Zhen really sticking out his tongue and making a face at him, he shook his head, "Now that the money is in your hands, take it well, you can't lose it, don't play for now, put the money at home and then Come out and play."

   Seeing Chen Ling's serious face, they nodded obediently and said they understood.

   When Wang Zhenzhen took the little kids away, Chen Ling was packing the fish outside the kitchen.

   The day before yesterday, I went to the market to sell medicinal herbs and chicken eggs. Since I didn’t want to sell the dendrobium at the Chinese herbal medicine store in the county town, I sold scorpions instead.

Although nearly half of the money was sold for the scorpions caught by the little dolls, Chen Ling's own catch was not too small, so adding eggs, duck eggs, and uncaria, this trip also sold more than 1,000 to nearly 2,000 yuan. .

   There are still endless scorpions outside. As long as the water containing spiritual water flows here, they will multiply here. Maybe they will mutate for a long time, and the population will grow stronger.

   It’s hard to find it now after it rains, and it has to be sunny for two days in a row to find it again.

   But the next rain is not a bad thing.

  After the rain, the family's attention to the "mosquito repellent" has also been diluted. The mosquito flooding in the past two days seems to have never happened.

  …

   After killing the fine-scale salmon, the fish meat is pink, the meat color is moist, and the meat is tender and soft.

  Chen Ling didn't use any fancy methods, he simply boiled a pot of light fish soup, and in this way, he used the fish soup to eat the fish, and the taste of the fish itself was preserved to the greatest extent.

   This pot of delicious fish soup is not only full of praises from Wang Susu, but even the old husband and mother-in-law said that they have lived in vain for most of their lives, and they have never eaten such delicious fish.

   Maybe Er Lao is a bit exaggerated, but when I tasted it with Chen Lingyang's mouth, I felt amazing. This is really delicious and can't be deceived.

   They also have free reviews.

  Wang Zhen didn't even care to say the truth, and the fish soup was already slurping two bowls.

   The whole family enjoyed the deliciousness of the salmon.

  After dinner, Rui Rui, who had been quiet for a day and a half, started crying again.

  Chen Ling and the couple have already had their conditioned reflexes. When they heard the cry, they cheered up, and they were busy again.

   "Little aunt, little aunt, come out quickly, there are several big old turtles like that in the reservoir, the big ones are the big ones, come and see us."

  The young couple was busy around their son, and a group of little dolls ran over to find Wang Zhenzhen again.

   It was just the words they shouted that caught Chen Ling's attention.
