Xu Yang found the little crow that belonged to him in the forest.
A tiny one, still in the nest.
The little guy couldn't fly, so he stuck his little head out to look at him.
The ceremony of recognizing the master begins.
The little guy is white and looks very beautiful.
"From now on, you can call me Xiaobai."
"Grow up soon."
Xu Yang looked up at the little crow and said with a smile.
The situation of this crow is the same as that of the black kite, both of which recognize their masters after they grow up.
It has its own life, but it often flies to Xu Yang and gets close to him.
There is divine will in the dark.
For the next two days, Xu Yang rested on the farm.
Take a walk around the farm fields from time to time and plan what to plant in the future.
It was already August and the crops in the fields were ripe.
Xu Yang was thinking of planting some rice next year. Although it is not valuable, he could raise some natural rice fish.
The so-called rice fish are small fish raised in rice. They live in the rice from an early age and grow up slowly.
There are mixed reviews about rice fish. Some say it is delicious, while others think it has a strong earthy smell.
In fact, if the rice fish is raised with natural spring water, it tastes very good.
Every time before they grow up, the owners of the farm stays come and place orders in advance.
But it is not so easy for rice fish to grow up. Not only birds will prey on them, but also ducks raised on farms.
Once the ducks swam into the rice field, all the fish in the rice field were gone.
"Next year, grow some rice, and either raise some rice fish or some ducks."
"It would be nice to grow some ecological rice."
Xu Yang was thinking in his mind.
At this time, the little foxes ran over from a distance and came to Xu Yang's feet to act cute.
These guys grew up and started to go to the mountains to play.
Some of the little ones come back often, while others only come back once in a long time.
They're all grown up and have their own lives.
Forests may have a special attraction to them, just like first-tier cities have to young people.
Always wanted to live in it.
Xu Yang always respects their ideas.
I think this is pretty good.
Go wherever you want.
When the little fox saw Xu Yang, it rushed over and cried.
Can't stop it.
They lay on the ground one by one, swaying their bodies and acting cute.
The feeling of being unable to walk without touching it a few times.
Xu Yang couldn't help laughing, and touched them for a while while laughing.
The dogs also came over at this time, and when they saw the fox, they immediately gathered together to play happily.
There is an idiom called "fox friends and dog friends", which shows that foxes have liked to play with dogs since ancient times.
The little wolf also came over. At first, the little fox was a little afraid of it, but after getting along with it for a long time, it was not afraid at all.
After two days of rest, Xu Yang felt he had recovered.
He planned to go out for a walk.
The next afternoon, Xu Yang had nothing to do, so he decided to take the little ones to the farmland to have a look and see if there was any rice fish for sale.
The Husky didn't want to leave, and the little wolf couldn't run around, so Xu Yang ended up only taking Xiao Hei and the Malinois with him.
He chose to travel by electric tricycle, which is a very ordinary tricycle and not very fast.
The weather was nice, and it felt nice to take a spin on the tricycle.
This kind of tricycle should be driven when the weather is warm. If the weather is cold, it will be torture to drive it.
Xiao Hei and the Malinois lay on the front frame of the truck, looking ahead happily.
Just walk out like this.
Not long after, Xu Yang saw large tracts of farmland.
The road in the middle is a little bumpy. It is a dirt road, just the right distance for two cars to pass each other.
There are usually no cars here, only farmers' tricycles.
All the crops in the fields are ripe.
Next to Xu Yang is a pepper field. Looking around, there are green pepper seedlings covered with red peppers.
This pepper field is very large and farmers planted a lot of it.
Xu Yang took a look and guessed that this family would probably have to hire someone to pick all the peppers.
However, the peppers are relatively light and the unit price is not high, so I don’t know how the harvest will be.
Just earning hard-earned money.
Going further, there is another carrot field in front.
The carrots in the field are growing particularly well. The radish tops are green and tall, and you can tell at first glance that they are good radishes.
Xu Yang felt like eating for a moment.
When he was a child, he often stole radishes with his friends in the village.
At that time, we went to the fields to steal vegetables, mainly radishes, eggplants and tomatoes.
Radishes and tomatoes can be eaten raw, but eggplants are more complicated to eat.
They would prepare a canning bottle and a bag of instant noodle seasoning, then tear off the eggplant skin, crush the eggplant and put it in, sprinkle the seasoning on it, pour water on it, and roast it over the fire.
You can eat the eggplant when it is hot.
When I was a kid, I didn’t have much to eat, so playing like this was very fun. The carrot farmers assumed that this small area near the road was for people to eat.
We are all villagers anyway, and usually we just eat a few, so it won’t have much impact, so it doesn’t matter.
Xu Yang looked to the side and saw that the side of the carrot field close to the road had been trampled into a patch of mud by people. The radish leaves in it were crooked, indicating that many had been pulled out.
When he was a kid he would pull them out, but now it’s different.
Various crops are grown in the fields.
Going further ahead, you can see people growing eggplants, tomatoes, and corn.
Everyone is trying to find ways to make money from the land.
However, most of these farmers are not rich.
The money earned throughout the year is very little.
Xu Yang walked forward.
Soon, a large area of rice fields appeared in front of us.
There is plenty of rice in the Northeast.
There is abundant water resources here, so more rice is grown than wheat.
Xu Yang saw two farmers in the rice field in front of him, wearing rain boots, busying themselves back and forth doing something.
Xu Yang drove his tricycle over and stopped.
The two farmers looked at Xu Yang.
Xu Yang asked with a smile:
"Uncle Zhuzi, do you have rice fish for sale? I want to eat rice fish."
Hearing Xu Yang's words, the middle-aged strong man called Uncle Zhuzi immediately smiled and replied:
"I don't have any more here. I released dozens of them when I planted the seedlings this year, but they were all gone in a few days. The birds here are too powerful."
"If you want to eat, go to the north. There are large areas of rice fields there, and in some places they raise rice fish."
Xu Yang looked at the rice in the field, and sure enough, there was no movement at all.
It’s not easy to eat this rice fish.
"Okay, I'll go take a look."
Xu Yang rode his tricycle and set off again.
Watching his receding back, Zhuzi chatted with another farmer.
"This big boss doesn't put on airs at all, it's really amazing."
"Yes, I don't know how much he earns. I heard that one of his tractors costs more than one million yuan. Every time the village harvests rice, they have to pay him to do it."
Xu Yang is very famous locally.
After all, he is a nationally renowned anchor, and the locals must know him.
No one dislikes him.
Many anchors appear glamorous on the surface, but the locals are full of disgust when they mention them. After all, the locals know very well what kind of people the anchors are in private.
But Xu Yang is the kind of person that the locals particularly like.
Xu Yang drove his tricycle all the way inside.
It’s been a while since I’ve opened it, and it feels quite cozy.
This is also a convertible.
Not long after, Xu Yang's car drove into a large rice field.
The rice fields here are so vast that you can hardly see the end of them. People here all grow rice.
Xu Yang began to ask where rice fish could be bought.
This thing is not easy to find, and those that are still kept have already been reserved.
However, they are all ordered by the owners of the farmhouses, so if you want to buy them, you can still buy them.
Xu Yang quickly negotiated a business deal with a farmer.
He put on rain boots and went down to the rice field, intending to catch a few himself.
The rice is growing well and is golden, and it is almost time to harvest.
Xu Yang walked into the rice field and used his hands to dig apart a layer of rice.
All I heard was a loud crash.
A few golden rice fish ran away in a flash.
Rice fish are actually carp and crucian carp. They are released into rice fields when they are very young. When the rice flowers bloom, they grow up by eating rice flowers, so they are also called rice fish.
At this time, the rice is ripe, and they can eat the fallen rice grains, which will make them grow faster.
Rice flowers are delicious in themselves, and after eating rice flower fish, the meat is naturally delicious as well.
Before each rice harvest, these rice fish must be harvested.
It was at this time that Xu Yang came to look for Rice Fish.
What he is looking for is pure rice fish.
There are many unscrupulous merchants nowadays, and some people will sell inferior products as good ones by putting ordinary fish into the rice fish.
It is in places like this that the rice fish is the most authentic.
Xu Yang was holding a scoop net in his hand.
The mesh of the scoop net is very dense, so if you encounter loaches, you can scoop them up with the scoop net.
Xu Yang pushed aside a patch of rice and saw several rice fish gathered together.
These guys are also making nests!
Xu Yang seized this opportunity, covered it with a scoop net, and then scooped it up again.
He caught all these rice fish.
A net is exhausted!
Xu Yang smiled with satisfaction.
This one net is enough.
He looked at these rice fish. Their scales were fine and dense, and their colors were uniform, which was very nice.
I thought I would have to raise some myself in the future.
Go catch them in autumn. (End of this chapter)
