The rice fish in the rice fields are particularly active.

This natural rice fish tastes indescribably delicious.

When it comes to food, the best places are those like this.

Although the food outside is delicious, it is all processed in various ways.

It lacks the deliciousness of the finest ingredients.

Xu Yang caught four fish in the net. The fish were not big, but they were of good quality.

Xu Yang paid the farmer, put the fish in a bucket, and prepared to go back to the farm to eat the fish.

There is nothing important to do today, I just drove my tricycle out to look for rice fish.

Once you find it, go back and do it.

Xiao Hei and the Malinois looked at the active fish in the bucket and wanted to stick their heads in to take a look.

"Xiao Hei! Don't look at it, this is not for you to eat!"

When Xu Yang saw Xiao Hei's appearance, he hurriedly called out.

Hearing Xu Yang's call, Xiao Hei immediately behaved himself and didn't look any further.

The rice fish that we caught with great difficulty cannot be fed to the dogs.

Xu Yang thinks this is a good way to raise fish.

You can find a place to raise it yourself.

It just so happened that there was a natural stream in the mountain he contracted.

It is not a problem at all to divert the stream into the rice fields.

Maybe other rice fish will come in by then.

From now on, if you want to eat fish or make fried fish paste, you no longer have to catch it in the river.

Of course, you still have to catch them. The taste of rice fish and clear water fish is different, and the fish in natural waters are also delicious.

They are all top-notch enjoyment and taste much better than those farmed fish.

Xu Yang drove a tricycle and ran back with his two puppies.

When passing through an open wilderness, he stopped the car and let the two puppies run around for a while.

Gotta let them play for a while.

Otherwise, it would be boring to spend the whole day on the bus.

The two little guys started chasing each other like crazy.

They can roam freely without worrying about whether there are people around or whether they need to be tied with a leash.

Otherwise, many dogs like the countryside.

The place is big enough and you can run around as you like.

If you run faster in the city, you will either be run over by a car or stopped by someone, and you won't be able to stretch your legs.

Xu Yang sat on the tricycle and watched.

Occasionally picking up my phone to shoot videos can help me accumulate video materials.

The videos he shot himself are not particularly outstanding, but netizens still like his live broadcast slices.

Those contents look exciting.

When the dog had almost walked away, Xu Yang called out:
"Xiao Hei, Yuan Bao, get in the car!"

As soon as the words fell, the two dogs immediately turned around and ran towards Xu Yang.

Then he came to the back of the car and jumped directly onto the tricycle.

Walking your dog is that simple.

The lazy man's way of walking the dog.

When Xu Yang saw that the dogs had come up, he drove back.

After Xu Yang returned to the farm, the first thing he did was to study how to make rice fish.

This kind of rice fish is the most delicious when it is just caught and does not require complicated cooking methods.

Xu Yang thought about it and finally decided to use the method of beggar's chicken to make beggar's fish.

Don’t let such delicious taste leak out.

It is better to wrap it so that all the freshness can penetrate into the fish meat, which makes it more delicious to eat.

If there is no lotus leaf, use tin foil instead. Although the flavor of lotus leaf is missing, the flavor of fish is still there.

Xu Yang picked out some more spices, many of which were natural Chinese herbs, which he ground himself.

After all, it's in the mountains, there's no shortage of these things. You pick the mountain products and grind them yourself, so they taste better and you can eat them with peace of mind.

Even the peppers used are grown by the farm itself.

Xu Yang knew very well that the most important thing to cook beggar fish well was to remove the fishy smell.

Be sure to remove it thoroughly.

Xu Yang went to his small kitchen, put the fish on the chopping board, and began to remove the fishy smell.

Things like fish membranes and gills must be cleaned up without leaving any.

It also needs to be soaked in prepared cooking wine.

Finally, mix wild ginger, onions, and chilies together, apply it all over the fish inside and out, and marinate it thoroughly.

Apply various seasonings, wrap it with tin foil, and finally wrap it with the mud you made yourself.

Work together.

Xu Yang came to the yard and started mixing mud.

He poured fine soil into a basin, added a bucket of water, and began to knead it.

This mud is also good mud. Although it will not enter the fish meat, because it has been wrapped outside and roasted over fire, it will give the tin foil a layer of earthy aroma.

The smell is very light, but quite pleasant.

It is the art of earth and fire.

Just as he was kneading the mud, Xiao Hei walked in front of Xu Yang, tilted his head, and looked at Xu Yang with a puzzled look.

It didn't understand why Xu Yang was playing in the mud.

Or, Xiao Hei felt that it was not mud, but something else.

Xu Yang saw it, waved his hand and said:

"Go and play."

Xiao Hei immediately turned around and ran away while Xu Yang continued to work on his food.

After the mud was mixed, Xu Yang took the fish wrapped in tin foil and wrapped it tightly with mud.

After everything was done, Xu Yang came to the kitchen. There was an earthen stove in the kitchen that used firewood, and he could put lumps of earth in it to burn.

Niu Zhuang saw Xu Yang's dirt lump and asked with a smile:
"Captain, what's this delicious? Beggar's chicken?"

Xu Yang responded:
"I caught a few rice fish and prepared to be a beggar fish."

"I don't know how it tastes, let's make it first."

Niu Zhuang immediately said, "It must be delicious. Your cooking skills are recognized as the best by everyone. There is no doubt about that."

Xu Yang just nodded, "I just have nothing to do, so I want to think about what to eat."

"I haven't eaten rice fish for a long time, let's try it."

"Next year, we will plant some rice and raise rice fish."

“Everyone will be able to eat it then.”

After hearing Xu Yang's words, Niuzhuang also became excited.

This kind of farm specialty is not available in ordinary places.

Then, Xu Yang went for a walk outside.

He walked out of the kitchen and saw the roe deer and the husky gathered together, one standing and the other lying, resting comfortably against the wall.

They seem to have found like-minded friends. They like to stay still and look at people with silly faces.

It seems like the little gangster who used to stand on the street and do nothing.

Anyway, sometimes I feel like they deserve a beating.

Xu Yang was speechless at first, but gradually got used to it.

Walk out of the living area and look outside.

The farm's land is very vast.

Ten greenhouses lined up in a row also demonstrate the luxury.

The crops in the greenhouse are growing well. With proper care every day, we just need to wait for the crops to mature and we will earn a large sum of income.

With the skills of a master grower, you don't have to go through so many detours in growing crops, and you can avoid encountering diseases, pests, fruit failure and the like.

So the farm developed smoothly.

Before we knew it, the farm had grown to a considerable size.

Xu Yang had nothing to do, so he called the little wolf over and played with it for a while.

The little wolf was a mixture of brown and gray in color, with a slightly long face, but its eyes were always clear, without the vigilance and sophistication of a wolf.

Not much like a wild wolf.

This guy has learned a lot of knowledge from Xiao Hei and Yuanbao, so he is very obedient and close to his owner.

Come over as soon as Xu Yang calls.

Xu Yang touched the wolf cub's head. It was harder than the dog's head and had thicker hair.

Moreover, wolves are relatively large in size, about the same size as large dogs.

He's also quite majestic when he grows up.

"I've gained a lot of weight."

"Pretty strong."

Xu Yang touched the little wolf's waist and found that it was not that slender, but rather plump.

The little wolf opened his mouth happily, his face full of smiles, and his tail kept wagging.

This is the best way. If it is not aggressive, the farm can keep it forever.

After playing with the little wolf for a while, Xu Yang went to see his beggar fish.

The fish cooked with his secret method must taste good.

He put the clod of earth on the shovel, walked to the yard, found an open space, and placed the clod of earth on the ground.

Then, use a small shovel to gently break up the soil.

The soil that had been burned by the fire shattered like porcelain, with cracks filling up each other's gaps. Pieces of soil fell off, revealing the tin foil inside.

Xu Yang placed the tin foil on a plate and peeled off the foil layer by layer until the fully cooked rice fish covered with seasonings was revealed.

The rice fish had a golden halo and oil was oozing out of it.

A burst of fragrance wafts into the air.

Full of fresh and fragrant flavor.

There is no fishy smell at all.

Xu Yang picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish meat from the belly, and tasted it carefully.

The fish meat is tender and fully flavored, and the taste is indescribably good.

The taste of this fish produced purely from farmers is indeed different from the fish sold outside.

Xu Yang has eaten a lot of local specialties, so he can feel the difference between the two.

"This kind of fish is still delicious and tender."

"We have to find rice fish raised with mountain spring water."

“Even irrigation water doesn’t taste this way.”

Xu Yang was particularly satisfied with the taste of the rice fish.

He savored the fish meat carefully. The taste was sour and spicy, with a hint of saltiness. However, it did not make him feel greasy, but rather refreshing.

What a treat.

"I'll raise some next year, too."

"It's hard to buy this year. Rice fish in many places have been reserved."

"As for those fake rice fish that are irrigated, they don't taste good either."

“It’s better to raise it yourself.”

Xu Yang ate two fish in a row, picking out the fine meat.

At the same time, I made a decision in my heart.

For him, life is not stressful and he doesn't put pressure on himself. He just does whatever makes him comfortable.

This is also the joy of farm life. (End of this chapter)
