The summer is hot and the heat waves are over.↑△Little↓△. .m】

The rice in the bathtub was also ripe quickly, the leaves turned yellow, and the husks turned yellow. The Li family also began to make the final preparations before harvesting, opening the rice fields to absent and digging drainage ditches to dry the fields.

"Catch fish!"

Before letting the water drop, the Li family had to catch all the fish raised in the fields. These fish have been raised for half a year, and they are one or two pounds apart, which is quite fat. It is just right to use them to pickle rice-flowered fish. During this period, some will be salvaged every day and sent to Chang'an. There are not many fish in the fields now, so they have to be fished all at once this time.

The manager shouted loudly in the town.

The Li family can catch fish, but they can only catch those that are more than half a pound, and those smaller ones will not be able to catch them. Therefore, they will notify the villagers in the town to let them go if they are willing to catch them.

As long as the Li family catches the big fish, they can go down to the small fish.

After fishing, you have to dig ditches and drain water to dry the fields.

Li Chao usually eats fish and likes to catch fish. He likes fishing, and catching fish is also a pleasure.

The sun was just a little west and was not that powerful anymore. Li Chao couldn't wait to put on a short-sleeved, vest, and straw hat. Then he held a triangle pocket in one hand and a wooden barrel in the other.

Cheng Qian dressed the same outfit as Li Chao, eager to try it out.

In the town, villagers and merchants also carried buckets and wanted to participate. It was not that everyone could not afford a few fish, but that it was indeed a rare pleasure.

When the sun was not so strong, when Li Chao left the door, at least thousands of people followed him to the bathing ditch.

There are more than 3,000 acres of terraced fields, with a large area, and there are many fish. Even if there are still 100 kilograms of fish per acre, it can only be at least 300,000 kilograms. What's more, according to the previous fishing situation, this year's fish harvest is quite large, and one acre will never be more than 100 kilograms.

If you are feeding some feed, digging more ditches and building two more ponds, and raising 700 to 800 kilograms of fish in one acre of field is not a problem. However, this year is the second time to raise fish, so you can put less fry. After all, there are more fish raised, so you have to consider a sales issue.

The fish raised in the Li family’s rice fields are usually well sold, and they are used in their own hotels and hotels. They are often purchased in other restaurants in Beijing. There are fish shops in the east and west cities of the Great Wall and outside the city gates. Because the fish raised by the Li family are all fresh and lively, they are mostly sent to Chang'an, so they have a good reputation.

Moreover, the service of Lijia Fish Shop is good, and it will help people deliver fish to their doorsteps and even kill fish for customers. This is highly praised.

However, now there is no selling much of the dried fish that is disposable, and most of them have to be made into pickled fish.

"Open and lack!"

Lao Zhuang ordered the head, so the Li family's long-time workers began to hold hoes and open gaps on the ridge of the field, release the water and flow into ponds through the canals. The water is still useful. After harvesting the rice and planting soybeans, they can also water the fields.

The terraced fields are more than one layer at a time, and there will be many storage ponds every distance to store rainwater, so there is no need to rely entirely on water trucks to transport water.

When you dig a gap, someone will put his pocket in the gap and stop it, and small fish and shrimps will also arrive.

The long-term workers continued to work with hoes and dug a few more drainage ditches in the fields. The rice had grown ripe, and it was fine to dig the mud and soil aside.

The water gradually decreased, and the fish in the ditch had begun to swim continuously, shaking waves.

Fish catching has begun.

Li Chao took the lead and went down the ditch barefoot, took it and Chengqian followed behind. One by one, one by one.

The water became more and more watery, and the ditches soon revealed mud.

Some fish have swam into the puddles at the corner of the field, while some fish have been stranded in the ditch. There is no need to do this at this time, just reach out and catch it.

There are not only carp and crucian carp in the ditch, but also some other fish that swim in from the pond when it is released, such as black fish, catfish, yellow thorn fish, white stripes, loaches, eels, snails, river clams, mud snakes, water snakes, etc.

Chengqian shouted at him from behind, and he was very satisfied.

Li Chao swept the ditch a few times. The big fish were gone, and there were a lot of small fish and mixed fish, so let's leave it to the villagers.

"Go to the puddle."

"Come here to pick up the fish, and catch the big fish." Li Chao shouted, and then groups of old men, old ladies and children and daughters-in-law on the ridge of the field immediately went down the field with a smile.

Everyone was careful not to destroy the rice, but just walked out of the ditch and reached out to touch the remaining fish in the mud.

Occasionally, someone would touch a big fish weighing one or two pounds and were very happy.

In this regard, the Li family will not come to collect fish, and whoever touches them will be lucky.

Many fish entered the puddle, but the puddle was not deep, and when the water was full, it was only one meter deep. Only a little water was released, and the water in the puddle could not be discharged.

However, the Li family did not plan to drain the water from the puddle, leaving some water to ensure the small fish fry. Moreover, after harvesting rice, it would still require water to plant beans at that time, so fish in the puddle should be fished directly.

Drag back and forth several times.

The size of the eye is just enough to catch more than half a pound of fish, and keep less than half a pound. As for some big fish that leak, it’s fine, keep it for next year.

Some children jumped into the puddle and started swimming.

These puddles that were specially dug for fish farming are usually about ten square meters. Children are struggling in the water for a while, and the fish begin to jump out of the water.

"Touched a shell."

Cheng Qian was also waving in the water, and then he actually found a turtle, which was at least two pounds.

"Stew turtle soup tonight."

In the fields, there were buckets of fish in large wooden barrels.

When a bucket is filled, someone will carry it downhill. There are several large water tanks in the bath ditch. If the fish are put in, they can survive better. Even if the fish are pickled with rice, it will be delicious. In such weather, once the fish dies, it will smell bad in a short time, and it will be wasted.

Li Shimin brought Hou Junji and Zhang Liang to Bashang and found that there were obviously fewer people in Li Town today. After inquiring, they all went to take a shower and ditch to catch fish.

When they arrived at the bath ditch, they realized that it was so lively.

There are figures everywhere in the terraces on both sides of the ditch.

"I actually snatched fish here and called Li Chao up." Li Shimin was very unhappy.

Li Chao heard from the butler that the emperor was coming, and washed his hands and feet with mud at the puddle without any haste before pulling Cheng Qian back.

"Hello, Your Majesty."

Li Shimin didn't speak.

Li Chao looked at Hou Junji with a dark face again and said with a smile, "Hou's fool is here too."

Hou Junji immediately turned black, "Who do you think is Hou's fool?"

"Is there a second person named Hou here?" Cheng Qian added on the side, "The prince is right, Hou is a fool."

Hou Junji's eyes were breathing fire, but he did not dare to swear at the prince, so he could only stare at Li Chao fiercely.

Li Shimin also turned black. He did not say Li Chao, but turned to the prince and said, "How can you talk to the general?"

Cheng Qian curled his lips and stopped talking.
