- ?
After the seedlings entered the water, after a period of cultivation, the roots became familiar with the soil in the field, and the root fibers extended and penetrated deep into the soil, so that the inclined seedlings slowly grew upright.
The turbid water gradually becomes clear and transparent, which is also a sign that the seedlings are alive. Only at this point can we breathe a little easier.
The green seedlings are full of vigor under the breeze, and the water in the field ripples with the wind, startling the tadpoles to scatter and avoid.
Every year after transplanting rice seedlings, I will have a happy time. There are many treasures in the field, but it is not just as simple as rice seedlings.
The same water quality and land, but there will be many snails (snails) in some fields at this time.
Strange to say, the snails appeared suddenly. I didn't see snail seedlings in the water, or snails in the fields. Unknowingly, around the field ridge, near the water source, there are snails.
In clear water, the snails either stick to the bottom of the field or stick to the bottom of the seedlings.
The thick shell of the snail is covered with a little dust, and some even have moss.
It looks very old, but the actual age of this snail is less than a month old!
There are two tentacles exposed on the snail. I don't know if it's the eyes or the tentacles, but the snail moves very slowly, similar to a snail, with a long tail dragging behind the snail shell, which seems to leave a memory for the way it has traveled.
The bottom of the seedlings is covered with pink granular objects, a bit like caviar. A piece the size of a fingernail is glued together. Upon closer inspection, there are at least a hundred small particles, like pearls.
This is the egg of the snail.
After a period of incubation, the eggs grow into small snails.
As time goes by, in about a week, the snails gradually grow up. The rice fields are full of snails.
"Master Tao, what are you looking at?" Ren Yuntao suddenly appeared behind me, startling me.
"Xiaoyu, look at the many snails here!" I squatted on the edge of the field.
"Snails? I saw so many snails in the ditch before! There are many more than this!"
"Are there many over there?"
"Yes! Not only are there many, but they are also very large. I have seen ones as big as lumps!" Ren Yuntao said with a serious face.
I looked at him questioningly, how big is the lump? You are a potato! "Do you know how to eat snails?" I asked.
"Oh, the snails are stir-fried directly, they are delicious! There are many fried snails on the street selling night beer!"
This reminded me, since snails can be eaten, why don't we make some to try?
"Why don't we grab some and come back to eat!" I stared at Ren Yuntao excitedly.
"Okay, why don't you go to the ditch? There are too few snails in this field to fit between your teeth!" Ren Yuntao suggested.
I found out the rice paddy that my grandfather made up for me before, and after putting it on, let's go!
The water in the ditch is not deep, only about ten centimeters, and the ditch is not wide, about one meter.
There are aquatic plants and green onions on both sides of the ditch.
Ren Yuntao's mother also said before that the water onion can be eaten as a vegetable.
After removing the excess leaves of the water onion, only the thin rod in the middle like a pen core is left, and it is cooked and served cold.
It is said to taste great.
But I don't like this stuff! Our family uses it to feed pigs, I don't want to eat it!
The water onion grows intertwined beside the small ditch, even extending to the bottom of the water, and it grows very well.
Occasionally, a small loach swims by at the bottom of the water, and three or two snails lie quietly in the water, moving forward bit by bit.
"Brother Tao, there are indeed! There are really snails!" Ren Yuntao was so excited that he was almost incoherent. From his words, it is not difficult to see that he is not sure whether there are snails now. After seeing the snails, the worry in his heart is real landing.
I smiled and didn't speak. With legs straddling both sides of the ditch, he bent down and reached into the water to pick up the snails.
Shake off the water in your hands, and throw the snails into the eel basket.
"Ding Dong!" With two sounds, there were two more snails in the box.
Seeing that I had begun to enter the state, Ren Yuntao got up and walked forward, about ten meters away from me, followed suit, squatted down and began to pick up snails.
Walking and picking all the way, after a while, he came to me with a handful of snails in both hands.
After putting the snails into the bamboo baskets, a thin layer of snails has been laid on the bottom of the baskets.
"Master Tao, I've already picked up all the snails, and there's not enough for this!"
??Why don't we take a look at the team next door? "I suggested.
After Ren Yuntao agreed, we walked through several fields and came to the area of ??the next team.
Yu Haiqing, the only family with cattle in a radius of ten miles, supported five sons by plowing land for others.
At this moment, the small ditch in front of him passed by his door.
Going forward along the small ditch, I found that there are more snails here.
In the ditch slightly wider than the ditch, the water is not deep, but it is crystal clear.
The snails are walking in the bottom of the ditch in groups of three or four.
The two of us looked at each other and smiled, and quickly entered the state of picking snails.
One, two, three, five, and handfuls of snails were loaded into rice field eels.
After walking up the ditch for about 100 meters, the bamboo baskets were half filled. Now I can feel the pulling force from my arm while carrying the bamboo basket, at least there are two or three catties of snails, right?
"Master Tao, is it enough? There are already so many snails! How about we go back and get some snails to eat?"
"Not enough! That's how much! It's not enough for my teeth, let alone the two of us!"
"Then how about we move on?" Ren Yuntao suggested.
So we continue to move forward, in fact, this has already exceeded the scope of our activities. Basically, being able to get to Yu Haiqing's place is already considered our limit, and now it has exceeded this range.
Going forward, we are about to reach the next township, which is a place we are not familiar with, not only the place, but also the people.
I don't have any acquaintances, but I still have some anxiety in my heart. After all, acquaintances are easy to handle, even if they see us saying hello, I feel very at ease.
No way, who told us to be foodies! For this mouthful of fresh snail meat, we risked everything.
Besides, we just picked up a few snails. The snails grow naturally and are not raised by anyone. They don¡¯t exist!
After making up your mind, move on.
Summer is so hot, soaking in the cold water is very comfortable.
Picking up snails is also a way to cool yourself down! It's really a good thing.
The snails were put into bamboo baskets by us. One meter, five meters, ten meters, 20 meters.
After approaching the next village, the bamboo basket was finally filled.
Ren Yuntao and I looked at each other, and we both saw a sigh of relief in each other's eyes.
Even if I really want to set foot in the two neighboring villages, I still have no idea.
Now we can finally return home. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
