Nongmen Blessed Wife: The elder sister-in-law has space for farming

Chapter 212 Eating Snails

On this day, a cry came from Yin Ziying's experimental field: "There are snails in this field now, Ziying, shall we catch them?"

Yin Ziying was standing on the bank to observe whether the rice grains were full, and when she heard this, she looked in the cracks in the field, and sure enough there were several snails not far from her feet.

She frowned and nodded:

"I didn't expect that there would be so many snails here. I have to pick them up, Sister Liu. Let's pick up snails in a small basket this afternoon. Too many snails will also affect the rice."

Gu Yunliu nodded, and a trace of annoyance appeared on Yin Ziying's face when he heard Yin Ziying's words:
"It's all my fault. There were already a few small snails when I came to see them last time. I thought they wouldn't grow much, but I didn't expect that there were so many in just a few days. If I had known, I would have told you earlier gone."

Yin Ziying glanced at Gu Yunliu before smiling and said: "It's nothing, there is nothing serious about it, it can be remedied, besides, if we go in in the afternoon, we can weed the fields along the way!

But speaking of it, it’s not like there’s nothing in this field. I’ve read in books that some places specially raise fish and shrimps in the paddy fields when rice is grown like that!
When the rice harvest is good, the fish and shrimps in the paddy fields will also be harvested together. Don't mention how gratifying it is. If our rice harvest is good this period, we will try to do the same in the next period. "

Raising fish in rice fields is a method she knew in her previous life, but she has never been able to practice it.

In this life in ancient times, since she has the plug-in of Lingquan space in her hand, she really wants to see if it can be done.

"Fish and shrimp are raised in the rice fields? Ziying, is what you said true or false? You are not lying to me, are you?"

Gu Yunliu was very surprised when she heard it. She had seen a lot of new things working with Yin Ziying during this period of time, but what she heard today surprised her even more.

The people here don't even grow rice, and where have they heard of the rice field growing fish at the same time?According to common sense, wouldn't the fish and shrimp just eat up the crops if they were in the field?how can that be?

But these words came from Yin Ziying's mouth, and she inexplicably felt that this must be true, after all, Yin Ziying's knowledge is not ordinary.

Yin Ziying smiled and said: "How come, this is well-documented. If you don't believe me, we will pick a small field to try next time we plant."

The two chatted and laughed, and waited for Yin Ziying to check the ear setting of the rice before returning home under the scorching sun.

Not long after eating, Yin Ziying heard Gu Yunliu's door calling from outside: "Ziying, Ziying, let's go, let's go to the field to catch snails."

At that time, Yin Ziying was teaching Gu Yunxuan how to read and write.

It's too hot in summer, and it's the time when children can't sit still. As soon as they heard Gu Yunliu's voice outside, it was terrible. Gu Yunxuan immediately stood up and said to Yin Ziying: "Sister Ziying, I heard that the eldest sister is here. I'm going to open the door for Big Sister."

Seeing the back of Gu Yunxuan trotting out, Yin Ziying shook her head helplessly, she packed up the pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the table before she walked to the door, and saw Gu Yunliu coming in wearing a straw hat with a small bamboo basket on her waist.

Seeing Yin Ziying, Gu Yunliu immediately smiled and said, "Ziying, how are you doing? Are you done with your work? If not, I'll go to the fields first."

Yin Ziying pursed her lips and smiled: "Sister Liu, it's too early for you, come in and sit for a while, if you go to the fields at this time, you won't suffer from heat stroke? Let's go later."

"How can I do that? When I went back and said that there were snails in the field that would eat the crops, my parents hurriedly urged me to go out, Ziying, let's go quickly!"

Yin Ziying was helpless: "It's not too late, I'll go later, besides, it's too hot to go now, if the snails die and fry, it won't taste good."

Hearing this, Gu Yunliu, who was following beside her, had bright eyes and said: "Fried snails, sister Ziying, big sister, I want to eat fried snails, and I want to go to the field to pick up snails, take me with you!"

Yin Ziying and Gu Yunliu looked at each other, both of them had helpless smiles in their eyes.

Don't look at Gu Yunxuan as a girl, but once she plays like crazy, she's not much worse than those monkeys in the village.

Several times she beat up the little boys of other families until they cried, but she was cute and cute, and she always had candies in her pockets, so the children in the village didn't dare to say anything even after being beaten by her.

Yin Ziying stretched out her hand and scratched Gu Yunxuan's little nose: "You little monkey, don't make trouble with me today, Sister Liu and I will go pick up snails, and fry them for Sister Xuan later, okay?"

Seeing Gu Yunxuan pouted, she smiled again: "Why don't you write all the big characters on the table first, and then let's go to the field to pick snails together."

Gu Yunxuan's dark eyes rolled around, she looked up at Yin Ziying with her small head and said, "Sister Ziying, then you go, Sister Xuan will obediently wait at home and won't run around."

Even Gu Yunliu who was on the side couldn't help but laugh a little: "This child, as soon as he hears that he needs to practice calligraphy, he just does this. He really doesn't look like her brothers at all."

Yin Ziying looked at this scene but smiled and said nothing, although Gu Yunxuan said that she was not willing to practice calligraphy on weekdays, but that was when she was lazy, the child was still smart, and she remembered all the words taught her.

Several people chatted and laughed for a while, and when the sun went down, Yin Ziying, like Gu Yunliu, put on a straw hat and walked to the field together with a small bamboo basket on her waist.

The snails can't be eaten immediately after being picked up, and the water needs to be changed several times to let the snails spit out the mud in their bodies before they can be fried and eaten.

On this day, exactly three days had passed since Yin Ziying and Gu Yunliu went to the fields to pick up snails. Yin Ziying was sitting in the yard grinding the tails of snails.

The snails have been picked up for a few days and the sand has been spit out, and the outside has been washed clean. Now it is necessary to grind off the tails of the snails and soak them for a while before they can be fried.

She was grinding in her hands when she heard Gu Yunxuan's chirping voice from outside: "Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother, you guys came just in time. Today, we are eating snails at home. Haven't you guys eaten for a long time?"

Followed by Yin Ruilin's pleasantly surprised voice: "I finally want to eat snails today? Great, I have been waiting for several days."

The movements in Yin Ziying's hands stopped, and it turned out to be two brothers, Gu Yunxian and Gu Yunrui.

It's very rare, since she moved to this small courtyard, she hasn't seen them visit the door a few times, and today they are considered rare visitors.

She stood up and wiped her hands, and saw the two of them walking in behind Gu Yunxuan: "Brother Xian, Brother Rui, are you here today? Haven't you eaten yet? Eat here today before going back."

Seeing her, both Gu Yunxian and Gu Yunrui stopped and nodded to her: "Sister Ziying."

"Well, it's rare for you to come here. Sister Xuan, Brother Lin, took the money and went to the village entrance to cut a piece of meat. We will have stewed meat at noon."

As soon as the words fell, Gu Yunxuan and Yin Ruilin rushed out in response: "Okay! Sister Ziying/Big Sister, I'll go right away. I'll give you the money next time, and I'll credit it first."

"These two children..."
