Traveling through the ages with the hotel, being doted on by four brothers

Chapter 115 Life in the countryside is pretty good
Song Qingshu opened his eyes in a daze and saw Xia Chan looking at him like this. He was still a little dazed for a moment. He realized that he was on a tractor, quickly rubbed his eyes, smiled sheepishly, and then moved Got off the tractor with the box.

He said thank you to Xia Chan and walked to the health center with the box in his arms.

Xia Chan drove the tractor to the yard of the brigade leader's house and went home.

Close the door, sneak into the hotel suite, take a bath for a while, eat something, then put on ordinary old clothes and come out, lie down to rest for a while, then go to cook dinner, and then eat all the dishes for the evening. When it's ready, just stir-fry when the time comes.

There was nothing to do after resting, and it was boring to be idle. In addition, Xia Chan was not a person who could live idle, so she carried two vegetable baskets in each hand and went to the stream. This season is the time for wild celery. It’s lush season!
Hundreds of kilograms can be picked in a short time, and the ones growing in the fields and ditches of the production team are handed over to the children, so that they can also earn a little income.

Thinking that this season of the 21st century is the season for eating crayfish and drinking beer, Xia Chan hurriedly rushed into the hotel suite, picked up her mobile phone and went to 'Crossing Mall' to directly place an order for a lobster net, a long style Yes, like a dragon.

I just happened to be given a few packs of bait as a gift.

Xia Chan unpacked a bag of bait and put it in, then threw the lobster net into the creek and tied the other end of the nylon rope to a small tree on the shore. She will know the result tomorrow morning when she picks up the lobster net.

Afterwards, Xia Chan took out five bamboo baskets, placed them in the middle of the stream, and sprinkled some bait into them. Soon fish swam over. The ripples on the water looked really scary from a distance!

The stream is full of running water, so there is no shortage of fish.

Sometimes Xia Chan was really curious about where the upstream was and what the situation was like, but she didn't have the time. If she really went upstream, one or two days would definitely not be enough, so she just walked around here.

When she has time in the future, she will go treasure hunting upstream to see if there is anything upstream that can help her make money.

Xia Chan collected a few boxes of fish, picked two baskets of wild celery, and then went home.

The crops in the field had just been planted not long ago, so it was not so busy to work now, and everyone was not so tired. While eating, Xia Chan looked at Xia Qi and said, "Brother Qi, let's go out to catch eels tonight! In this season, eels come out at night, so they must be very easy to catch."

When she was in the 21st century, she often saw bloggers going out at night to catch eels using clamps, and they could always catch one.

Not only eels, but also loaches, crayfish, small fish, crabs... all come out at night, so you have to bring more things with you to avoid having too little space.

Xia Qi nodded, "Okay, you cook well, and the eel you cook will definitely taste especially good."

Xia Chan smiled and didn't explain too much.

She does this not just to eat, but also to make money!
After dinner, the housework was left to Xia Bin, Jin Pengfei and Jin Pengyuan, while Xia Chan and Xia Qi set out with flashlights, wooden barrels and fire tongs. After going down the mountain, the two went to the team leader's house first and called eleven-year-old Xia Qingya and thirteen-year-old Xia Qingshan, and the four of them went to the ditch to catch eels together.

The Yong'an Production Team had fields that were used to grow rice, but the crops had been destroyed before, so the water was drained and the fields were used to grow corn. After all, it was obviously too late to replant the rice.

So there is no water in the fields now, but there is water in the ditches beside the fields used to irrigate crops. It is not deep and you can clearly see the things in the water with a flashlight: snails covered with a layer of moss, crayfish and crabs waving their big claws proudly, and eels lying on the mud like a snake... As soon as Xia Chan saw the crayfish, he thought of the delicious spicy crayfish and garlic crayfish and almost couldn't help drooling. In the 21st century, fresh crayfish cost at least fifteen yuan per catty, and a plate of them in a restaurant costs at least dozens of yuan.

But here, she can eat as much as she wants.

Xia Chan put on work gloves and began to catch crayfish hiding in the water plants in the ditch. He caught one accurately and threw them into the wooden barrel, making a crackling sound. Xia Qi asked in confusion, "Xiao Chan, why are you catching this thing? It's broken and will ruin the ridge of the field."

"Don't worry about what I do. Just focus on catching eels and loaches. If you see crucian carp or other fish, you can catch them as long as they are that big." Xia Chan said as he quickly squatted down to catch crayfish.

The water resources in this era are not polluted at all, and there are abundant aquatic resources. The summer cicadas caught half a bucket of crayfish in a short time. In some places, there were more than a dozen crayfish concentrated in a small area, which was really very dense.

Xia Chan also quietly transferred half of the crayfish into the space because she was afraid that her wooden barrel would not be able to hold them.

Xia Qi is also an experienced worker. At first, he used tongs to catch the eels, but the eels were too slippery and ran away. Later, he caught them with his hands. His actions were quick, accurate and ruthless, and no eel or loach escaped from his palms.

Naturally, Xia Qingshan and Xia Qingya, the cousins, did not catch as many as Xia Chan and his friends. After all, they were small and their failure rate was quite high. However, things like field snails and small snails could be exchanged, so most of the time they only picked up these two things, and they soon filled half a bucket.

Xia Qingshan first sent the things in the bucket back, and then came back to pick up more.

Everyone was outside picking for two hours, and then they went back. Xia Chan and Xia Qi both returned with a lot of harvest. On the way up the mountain, Xia Qi smiled and said, "I know a lot of other places where there are these."

"Then take me there quickly!" Xia Chan was very excited.

People of this era don’t like to eat these things anyway, so why doesn’t she collect them?

"Don't worry, I'll take you to one place a day." Xia Qi said with a smile.

Xia Chan nodded happily, as if she saw the white money waving at her. She felt that life in the countryside was pretty good. There was no intrigue among colleagues, and no comparison between people. Most importantly, she didn't have to do farm work every day like others. She had a lot of time to herself.

After returning home, the two of them poured the contents of the wooden barrel into a wooden basin, added some water, and kept them. It was already quite late, and they had no time to clean them up. They would do so when there were more accumulated.

The two of them quickly washed up and then lay down to rest.

Although catching eels is important, learning is also important.
