    The rain in spring is pattering. Although it is not heavy, it is lingering and lingering. It is easy to get your clothes wet. When it is warm and cold at first, it is easy to get sick when your clothes are wet.  On days like this, everyone stays at home and doesn't go out to work.

    The children are all kept at home and not allowed to go out and run around.  The women gather around and do some needlework.  Xin Hu thought that his family had already written down a list of all the things they needed, so he said it casually.

    "Oh, our family has to think carefully about what to buy." Aunt Zhang exclaimed.  It was impossible for anyone to go out at her house. If she didn't tell her specifically, Jiang Dashan and Mr. Xie wouldn't know what she needed in particular.

    "We also wrote a list yesterday. If you want to, ask Dalang to write it down for you." Sister-in-law Xie said with a smile.

    "Hey, Dalang, please help me write it down. I want some medicine for babies. By the way, I also need a small hand grinder to grind some into a paste for the eighth day of the month. In addition, I also need some soft cotton cloth  " Aunt Zhang couldn't stop talking. Aunt Liu was still adding a few things from time to time.  Dalang smiled like flying and recorded.

    And when Xie Shuer and Sister-in-law Xie heard something they said, they would think of something else, so they became a group of women surrounding Da Lang, talking all over the place.  People talk a lot, you want this and she wants that, which makes Da Lang simply don't know what to do.

    No wonder Jiang Dashan and Mr. Xie didn't get involved. They had to go out even when it was raining, and they even said they were going to herd horses.  I have been working on it for a long time, just because I was afraid of encountering this kind of situation.  Mr. Xie has been quarreled at his home in the past two days, and so has Jiang Dashan. Xinhu and Dalang are also thinking about many things.  Therefore, when the two of them saw this situation, they ran away early.

    Xinhu had already discussed with Dalang the things he should buy two days ago, so naturally he didn¡¯t join in the fun now.  However, she wanted to laugh when she saw Dalang's expressionless face, but he was trying to suppress his annoyance.  However, in order to prevent him from getting really angry in front of everyone, and in order not to embarrass all the ladies, she simply put on a bamboo hat and prepared to go out for a walk.

    Walking to the gate, after thinking about it, she took a backpack, a kitchen knife and a small vegetable basket.  In this weather, she thought she could get some fish to eat.  It's been a long time since their family had fresh fish.  We eat meat every day, but today I actually want to eat some fish.

    Xinhu's fishing method is unique and rough. She found a place and fished twice. The harvest was not too big. She only caught two or three kilograms of small fish in total. The big ones were only as big as a palm. She directly caught the small ones.  Thrown into the water.

    "Hey, that's weird, why can't I get fish this time?" Xin Hu wandered around this place in confusion, wondering if he should change places.  She used to gain a lot from fishing.

    "Click, click" sound of horses chewing clearly reached her ears. When she turned around, she realized that several horses were actually coming towards her.  Because there is a large open space here, the reeds that were cut before now grow a large area of ??tender green reed buds, which look very fresh and delicious.

    "Hey, it seems that horses like eating reed buds very much." Xin Hu said with some surprise when he saw the horses gathering around her to eat the tender reed buds.

    She thought horses liked to eat grass more, but the reed buds were obviously tenderer and larger, so horses were probably picky eaters.  But with so many reed sprouts, they will grow old over time and the horses won¡¯t be able to eat them. It¡¯s such a waste.

    Xin Hu watched the horse happily eating the reed buds, and a thought came to his mind, "Can the reed buds be dried and left for the horses to eat in winter?" Since horses even eat dead reed leaves in winter, this drying  They can probably eat the dried sprouts too.

    "Ahu, you have a good idea. Why didn't we think of it?" Jiang Dashan heard her talking to herself and shouted happily.

    "Well, prepare some first. No matter whether the horses like to eat or not, they will definitely eat when there is no food in winter." Mr. Xie said.

    "Then let's bask in the sun more. The horses survived last winter on an empty stomach. We can't lose out on them this year." Jiang Dashan continued.

    In fact, they not only need to prepare more fodder, but also prepare some concentrated feed such as soybeans to feed the horses if possible.  But he didn't dare to say this now.  When people don't have enough to eat, how can they dare to feed the horses with grain?

    "Yes, these horses are all good. If you keep them well, maybe we can get two more ponies next year." Mr. Xie said.  The two horses in Xiao Shitou's family are both mares, and the five horses are together every day. Over time, they will definitely breed by themselves.

    Speaking of ponies, Xin Hu¡¯s eyes lit up. There are so many horses to raise. Will he be able to make a living by selling horses in the future?  Anyway, there are a lot of reeds here, and raising horses requires no cost at all, except for manpower.p; "Okay. But I'm afraid it's rare to see seafood here." Mr. Xie glanced at Xinhu in surprise.  Unexpectedly, she actually knew about kelp.  People who don't live near the sea rarely have access to seafood, although kelp is the most common seafood.

    "Uncle, go get me a basin or a big bowl. I want to get some shrimps." Xin Hu said, holding the shrimps in the basket.

    It takes a lot of time to clean up the shrimps. Mr. Xie caught at least more than a pound of shrimps with just one fish.

    "Okay." Jiang Dashan agreed, mounted his horse and ran home.

    "I heard that Xinhu had gotten some delicious shrimps again. The women couldn't sit still, and the men couldn't sit still either. They all came to the lake.

    With many people and quick hands, more than a kilogram of shrimps were quickly cleaned out, and one family could not share much.  Mr. Xie volunteered to fish for it again. This time the effect was not as good, but there was still a lot.  After cleaning up, one family just got a bowl of shrimps.

    "No, I still have to catch a few more fish. This is too few." Xin Hu looked at the dozen or so palm-sized fish in the basket and said dissatisfied.  Just these few fish are enough to make a plate of food. They can't eat it at home, so don't share it with Xie's family and Xiao Shitou's family.

    "I'll give it a try." Xie Shuer grabbed the basket, found a random place, and put the basket down.

    "There are no fish in Lake A. It is probably because the weather has warmed up and the fish have gone to the depths." Jiang Dashan said.

    As a result, Xie Shuer was lucky and actually got a few crucian carp weighing half a catty. Everyone laughed, and Xie Shuer said proudly: "Hey, it seems that I am quite powerful."

    "It's just right. Keep up the good work and see if we can get a few more fish. We will all eat fish tonight." Sister-in-law Xie said with a smile.

    These crucian carp are just for Aunt Zhang to take back and make soup to drink. Drinking the crucian carp soup helps to release milk.  Aunt Zhang is nursing a little girl. Although her life has improved a lot in recent days, she suffered too much loss in the past. Her milk supply has never been abundant, and the baby is not growing well.

    "Okay. Let's try to let everyone have fish soup today." Xie Shuer carried a basket and wandered around for a while, then found a new place and put the basket down.

    Everyone looked on eagerly, including Xin Hu, who couldn¡¯t understand why Xie Shuer was better at fishing than she was now?

    Xie Shuer lived up to her high expectations and caught four or five crucian carp weighing half a catty this time. Xie Shuer laughed and said: "Hehe, not bad, I finally achieved my goal."

    Everyone divided the fish and went home talking and laughing.

    ¡°Put some oil into the pan and fry the shrimps, then add some salt.¡± Xinhu provided how to eat shrimps.  With such a small amount of shrimps, of course we can¡¯t dry them in the sun.  Let me add another dish for you first.

    When the weather gets better, you can slowly catch more small shrimps and dry some dried shrimps to save for later eating.

    The method of making shrimps is actually very simple. Heat the oil, throw the shrimps into the pot and stir-fry for a few times. Sprinkle some salt and wait until the shrimps turn red before serving.  The only thing to do is, although shrimps are good, they should not be eaten too much at one time, especially for children, as this stuff is not easy to digest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
