The time of such a warm scene passes quickly, especially now with the beloved.

Unknowingly, the sun has quietly set, and night has come.

"It's dark. Let's go back!"

Ye Rongrong looked up at the sky and said gently to his wife.

"Husband, the moonlight is good. Please accompany me again."

Liu Qingqing doesn't want to go back so early. She wants to continue to walk in the moonlight with her man.

"Good!"

Ye Guangrong nodded.

In fact, ye Guangrong also enjoyed this warm moment with his beloved woman.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect. They both feel that the night is very charming.

A bright full moon in the sky is shining on the earth, even if there is no sunshine, but it can be seen clearly. Every family in the village has a little bit of light, embellishing the quiet night, which has a kind of unspeakable beauty.

Many people say that the night in big cities is very busy, and there are many beautiful neon lights everywhere.

In fact, ye Guangrong prefers the rural night, which is natural and simple, relaxing.

The sound of insects and frogs came from the side of the field. Although it sounded a bit messy, it was so pleasant to hear.

"Er wa Zi!"

Liu Qingqing looks at Er Wazi walking around in the field with a flashlight and shouts to him curiously.

"Aunt Qingqing, uncle glory, you are walking!"

Erwazi ran from the ridge with a flashlight and a pair of burning tongs in his hand and said excitedly to Ye Rongrong and Liu Qingqing.

"Er Wazi, what are you doing?"

Liu Qingqing looks at Er Wazi in doubt and asks.

"Aunt Qingqing, I'm catching loach."

Er Wazi said excitedly.

Now it's may day, and it's the season of rice ripening in the field. At this time, there are not only many insects and frogs in the field, but also many loach.

Every year at this time of year, people in the village go to this field to catch loach in the evening. If they are lucky, if they are busy for three or four hours at night, they can catch a bucket full of loach, and of course, they can catch several eels by the way.

Of course, that was more than ten years ago, but it can't be any more now. With the increasing frequency of using pesticides in farming, the number of loach and Monopterus albus in the field is much less than before. It's quite good to catch three or five catties of loach and Monopterus albus in three or four hours a night.

"How about catching loach?"

Liu Qingqing asked with a smile.

"Auntie Qingqing, wait a minute."

Then Er Wazi ran to the field and soon came over with a plastic bucket.

"Aunt Qingqing, uncle glory, you see, I caught it tonight."

Er Wazi pointed to the loach in the plastic bucket and said happily.

"Yes, we have gained a lot."

Ye Rongrong looked at the loach in the bucket, mixed with several large eels.

The eel and loach in this bucket add up to five or six Jin, which is a lot of harvest!

"Well, there are a lot more loaches this year than last year, and the head is bigger than last year."

Er Wazi pointed to the loach in the bucket and said to Ye Rongrong happily.

"That's a good thing!"

Ye Guangrong said with a smile.

There are more Misgurnus anguillicaudatus and Monopterus albus in this field, which shows that the soil in this field is improving.

This is due to the state's ban on the use of highly toxic pesticides such as "dichlorvos", "wanlingshui" and "methyl parathion" in recent years, which has improved the soil.

"Er Wazi, are you going to use this fire tongs to catch loach and eel?"

Liu Qingqing curiously looked at the burning tongs on ER Wazi's hand and asked Er Wazi.

Loach and Monopterus albus are both slippery loach, so it is difficult to grasp them by hand. Liu Qingqing has personally experienced this. Can we grasp loach and Monopterus albus with the burning tongs?

"Aunt Qingqing, don't underestimate the burning tongs. They are very useful. If you catch Misgurnus anguillicaudatus and Monopterus albus in the field, you can catch them one by one. As long as you are caught by the burning tongs, the Misgurnus anguillicaudatus and Monopterus albus will never run away."

Er Wazi said with pride, holding the tongs on his hand.

As the rural families basically have fire tongs, rural people found many uses of fire tongs.

In addition to adding firewood to the stove, the fire tongs can be used to clamp the tail end of snails and also to catch loach.

"Misgurnus anguillicaudatus and Monopterus albus can't run, so they are foolishly caught?"

Liu Qingqing asked curiously.

You know, whether it's loach or Monopterus albus, although they are usually motionless, vigilance is very strong. Once they feel the danger, they will swim far away in a flash.

"Ha ha, of course, this loach will not wait to be caught foolishly. This loach is a technical skill. It should be fast, accurate and ruthless."Ye Guangrong said with a smile.

Although Ye Guangrong's life in the countryside was miserable when he was young, his life style was still rich and colorful.

This "catching loach" is one of the most interesting activities.

Every year in summer and autumn, children like to "catch loach".

Loach is delicious, nutritious, high in protein and low in fat. It can reduce blood fat and blood pressure. It is not only a delicacy but also a popular food. It is known as "turtledove in the sky, loach in the ground" and "ginseng in the water".

When ye Rongrong was young, the breeding industry was not very developed at that time, there were no professional loach farmers, and the loach grew naturally.

At that time, if people wanted to eat loach, they had to catch it in the field.

Generally, there are four ways to catch loach.

The first is "dry extraction", which has the lowest technical content.

That is to dry the field and turn the soil with hoes and other tools, so that the loach has nowhere to hide.

This method is especially effective when digging dry fields in winter.

The second is "kick loach", which has high technology content. In the clear water field, you can drill into the soil with your feet and kick hard towards the visible direction of the field water. If the loach can't withstand the vibration, it will expose the soil surface. At this time, you can quickly fork it with a harpoon.

The reason why the technical content is high is that the Kung Fu lies in the fork, which is "fast, accurate and ruthless".

The third kind is "touch loach", which has the highest technical content. Even the serious rural children may not master it.

It is in the deep water field, whether it is sunny or rainy, whether it is clear or muddy, as long as you lift your hand in the water to see if there are bubbles on the water surface, you can know whether there are loach in the soil. If so, you can feel the loach out of the deep soil with both hands.

The last one is "Zhao loach", which is the method Er Wazi uses now. This is also the main way ye Rongrong used to catch loach when he was a child.

Summer, autumn night, because of the hot weather, loach will come out of the soil, cool, sleep, at this time with a flashlight on the loach, with a fire tongs clamp on it.

This job is not very technical.

According to loach, there are two ways: dry road and water road.

"Dry road photo method" is to walk on the ridge of the field without entering the field, "water road photo method" is to walk into the paddy field photo, the action is not too big, so as not to disturb the loach that has not reached the water.

When ye Rongrong was a child, he basically used the dry lighting method, so that his clothes and trousers would not be dirty.

Every night, ye Rongrong and some children will take buckets, fire tongs and flashlights to the field, walk along the ridge road beside the field, and shine on the paddy field with flashlights.

Because this loach and fish, eyes high myopia, as long as the movement is not too big, it will not disturb them, once found that there is loach in the field, then use this burning tongs to quickly clamp this loach.

This blow should be fast, fierce and accurate, because once the loach is not clamped, it will quickly run away, and basically don't want to catch it again.

"That must be fun."

Liu Qingqing came immediately and said with interest.

"Fun?"

Ye Rongrong was stunned and couldn't help shaking his head.

In fact, "Zhao loach" is not very interesting.

You know, this summer and autumn is the hottest time of the year, and it's also the season with the most mosquitoes. It's not so much fun to come out from home and "shine on Loach" in the field this evening, not only to endure the heat, but also to cope with the bite of many mosquitoes in the field.

In fact, at that time, children were so keen on "taking care of loach". At that time, because the family was poor, being able to catch fish and birds was a good way to make up for the lack of meat dishes at home.

Imagine walking in the field of frogs and insects on a dark and windy night for a month. When you fork one big loach after another, the feeling of harvest is like the spring wind warming your whole body, and your whole body is happy.

If you're lucky, you can also see the Yellow oyster. It's not only bigger than loach, but also delicious. It's a special tonic.

"Husband, I also want to catch loach!"

Liu Qingqing immediately became interested and looked up at Ye Rongrong.
