Chapter 709 farmhouse fun
The crabs that Bai Xi bought were not kept in the lake, but in the paddy field.
The rice field was not very deep, and crabs would climb to the shore and dig holes. As soon as people went, they would quickly soak in the water of the rice field.
To prevent the crabs from running out, they would surround themselves with internet and black plastic.
"Wow. Mom, look, a lot of crabs are resting on the shore." Tian Tian sprawled on the edge of the net and watched.
When these crabs heard the sound of someone, they quickly crawled into the water with some alertness.
Some of them are quite big.
Bai Xi looked back at Ji Chenling. "Is this the first time you've seen a crab farm?"
Ji Chenling nodded. "Are the crabs in the rice field delicious?"
Bai Xi nodded. "It's delicious too."
"If you like it, I'll get someone to buy some for you. The lake should be better than the rice field." Ji Chenling said in a deep voice, his face still expressionless.
"Uncle tang, uncle tang." Tian Tian shouted.
A group of dogs ran out and barked loudly.
At first glance, it looked like an army.
Tian Tian was half afraid, but when she thought about it, she was the king with a stick in her hand, and she suddenly became bold again. Standing in front of Bai Xi, she said in a childish voice, "Mom, don't be afraid. I will protect you."
Bai Xi took pity on Tian Tian and picked her up.
She really couldn't carry Tian Tian anymore.
Although Tian Tian looked much thinner than before, his flesh was much firmer and not lighter at all.
Ji chenling looked at her struggling face, took Tian Tian over and gave Bai Xi a meaningful look. "If you're scared, follow me."
Bai Xi wanted to say that he was not afraid, but Ji Chenling took a few steps forward and one of the leading dogs rushed up.
Bai Xi subconsciously grabbed Ji Chenling's arm.
The dog didn't stop until it was a meter in front of Ji Chenling. It kept barking.
Tian Tian was afraid that the dog would bite Ji Chenling and shouted, "Uncle tang, uncle tang, uncle tang."
A middle-aged woman came out of the house and saw Bai Xi. She smiled and said, "Xiao Xi, come and play."
"Sister-in-law." Bai Xi smiled and said, "I want to buy some crabs."
"Oh, oh, come here." The middle-aged woman said and chased the dog away.
The dog stopped when it saw its master coming out.
Bai Xi followed the middle-aged woman into the room and saw the middle-aged woman putting up crabs.
"Why are there so many crabs?" Bai Xi looked into the bucket, which was densely packed.
"Xiaosanzi sold a lot of crabs on the internet. These crabs were caught in the morning. They were sent to the guests at five o' clock this afternoon. He specially found the logistics and increased the price. They will arrive tomorrow." The middle-aged woman said, "How old do you want?"
"Mother in twos and threes, do you?" Bai Xi asked.
"Yes. How many do you want? Do you need to prick them?" Asked the middle-aged woman.
"I want twenty-four. Sixteen of them are just for delivery, eight for one, and the other eight are just for myself. There's no need to prick them." Bai Xi said.
"Oh, oh, wait a minute. I'll go to the lake and get it for you." As the middle-aged woman spoke, she went to the lake and pulled out her net bag, which was full of mother crabs in twos and threes.
"Where's brother tang?" Bai Xi asked, not seeing tang shi.
"He's still sleeping. He stayed up last night."
"Night watch? Where are we going to keep vigil?" Bai Xi asked in puzzlement, "Isn't it time to sell crabs? Where is he going to keep vigil?"
"At night, someone will come and steal crabs. He usually sleeps during the day and stays up at night. The third wife will sell crabs at night. My brother's wife and brother will go to the market to sell crabs. The market will be more expensive. The price on the internet is too cheap. But I'm worried that I won't be able to sell it, so I'll buy some online and sell some at the market." Said the middle-aged woman.
"Then brother tang is quite tired. If we shouted like that, we wouldn't wake him up." Bai Xi said apologetically.
"It doesn't matter. I'm used to it, and people often come to buy it. Do you want to pick?" Asked the middle-aged woman.
"No, you can help pick it out. We don't understand either." Bai Xi said.
The middle-aged woman helped Bai Xi put up crabs first. "Are you sending them out?"
"No need to send it."
"Do you want ice?" Asked the middle-aged woman.
"Put it down. I'm going back to the city." Bai Xi said.
"Okay." The middle-aged woman bandaged it.
"Sister-in-law, let's take a look around." Bai Xi said.
"Okay, it'll take about half an hour on my side." Said the middle-aged woman.
Bai Xi took Tian Tian's hand and went out.
Tang shi's family not only raised crabs, but also chickens, ducks, geese, and sheep. They planted two mu of peach trees and one mu of grapes.
"Tang shi has been raising crabs for 15 years. His crabs are all small fish and shrimps that he eats, so they are very big. Some people saw him earn money before and raised crabs nearby. As a result, he was not very skilled. In september, the crabs in tang shi's house were already three or two. There were only one or two crabs in their house. They were few and small, and there was no meat." Bai Xi said.
"Yes." Ji chenling replied.
"In the past, every time I came back, grandma would come to her house to buy eggs and take them away for me. Their chickens were raised in the peach grove. Usually, they ate insects and grass. They were grass eggs in the middle. Do you want to buy some back today?" Bai Xi asked.
"Buy some and cook one for Tian Tian every day."
Bai Xi tilted his head and looked at him. "It doesn't look like farmhouse fun. When I was on vacation, I used to bring Tian Tian home for two days. Every time I was in a good mood."
"Yes." Ji chenling replied, "If you like it, you can come back often in the future."
"Come back at least once a year. I didn't come back to visit grandma's grave this year. I'll come back at least once a year, okay?" Bai Xi asked.
"Sure."
"Mom. I'm going to play goose. Tian Tian said.
"Be careful, the geese here are fierce." Bai Xi reminded.
"Don't worry, mom." Tian Tian took the stick and went to chase the goose.
Bai Xi looked at Tian Tian's newborn calf fearless, smiled and said, "The countryside is changing very fast now. It's all concrete. I remember when I was a child, I helped grandma with soy sauce. The village head's house opened a small shop. The path went past the people in front of me. They raised two roosters in front of me. They were fierce, and they pecked me. I fought with roosters every time. At that time, I looked like I was five or six years old."
"Soy sauce?" Ji Chenling remembered the term, as if it was a web term, which meant that this person was insignificant.
Bai Xi smiled. "It's real soy sauce. When I was a kid, it wasn't a bottle of soy sauce. It was made in a jar. Every time I used that bamboo to make a spoon, I scooped four spoons. One spoon was five cents, and two spoons were twenty cents. At that time, grandma would give me fifty cents. I could also change a lollipop. A lollipop was five cents. Then return the rest of the money to grandma."
"That sounds interesting."
"When you were a child, did you have any deep impressions?" Bai Xi asked curiously.
