Chapter 17 Harvesting Rice and Catching Loach

The sweet potato planting in Guo Village went very smoothly. While the villagers watered the sweet potato seedlings, every household picked up a lot of fish more or less, so the air in Guo Village smelled of fish for a while!However, there are also some overly honest people. Several farmers thought it was the fish from Lord Yang's family, and they all sent the fish to their door!

This made Yang Zheng feel that these people were really the cutest people in Datang!

And a day later, every family's sweet potato seedlings popped out of the ground!Every sweet potato seedling is growing gratifyingly, and everyone in Guocun is now smiling, and everyone says that it is the Lord Sir who brought everyone a good day!
The progress of the cooperative is very rapid. Every household in Guo Village has sorted out its own fish ponds, vegetable gardens, and pastures. Yang Zheng also spares no effort in planting seedlings!
One thousand fish fry were sent out to each family in one day!Some of these fish fry are larger in size, and some short-sighted fish out and kill these big fish when they return to their homes, but most people are still not so lowly. The 52 households in the village have raised fish, shrimp and fish. For crabs, Guocun's fish farming base has basically taken shape!

The vegetable seedlings need to be cultivated by Yang Zheng, mainly Chinese cabbage, which is easy to feed, has a large yield, and has high nutritional value!Of course, other tomatoes, sea peppers, radishes, etc. have also been cultivated a lot!The seeds are collected from the mature vegetables grown in the space. The seeds grow naturally and are plump, so basically all the seeds that have been planted have sprouted!

A week later, all kinds of vegetable seedlings had grown up, and the roots were growing red. Yang Zheng evenly distributed them to 52 families in Guo Village. After explaining the planting methods, he let the villagers take care of them by themselves. Knowing everything, I can be a hands-off shopkeeper, and the most urgent task now is to harvest rice!

This acre of rice still surprised Yang Zheng. The heavy, golden-yellow ears of rice were full of grains. Yang Zheng peeled off a grain of rice and saw that the rice wrapped in rice immediately exuded a fragrance. Yang Zheng picked several String rice ears and give them to Yang San to peel and cook them all in preparation for offering sacrifices to heaven.

Yang Zheng didn't intend to do this at first, but Yang and Liu Ying insisted on doing it, and even Changle assisted, so Yang Zheng couldn't do it anymore. It seems that if he wants to live in the Tang Dynasty, he still needs to engage in feudal superstition in this era of.

A bowl of fragrant rice was placed beside the paddy field, and several pillars of incense were burning around the bowl. The rising heat seemed to indicate that the gods were enjoying it, but it also made the servants and the helpers salivate!Yang Zheng thought to himself that it would be a pleasure to eat a bowl of this kind of rice in this era!

After the sacrifice to heaven was over, Yang Zheng stepped forward and handed the rice to Yang Si: "Old Si, eat quickly. After eating, you can work hard!"

Yang Si was so happy, the master actually gave him such an important sacrifice, it was so cool!Yang Si didn't even have time to use his chopsticks, so he directly picked it up with his hands, and it was so satisfying to eat!Such eating attracted everyone to burst into laughter!
Since there was no harvester or threshing machine, Yang Zheng had no choice but to harvest everything by hand!
The people first cut down all the rice, and then carried it to the pond, and knocked the grains into the big wooden barrel one by one. After the big wooden barrel was full, they carried it back and dumped it in the courtyard covered with stone slabs to dry. They were sweating profusely in the garden, and the women were drying the millet in the courtyard, but this girl in Changle was a little ignorant, so she sneaked down to the field!

Yang Zheng didn't notice it at first, and he couldn't help laughing when he inadvertently saw Changle's embarrassing look in the field with one foot deep, one foot shallow, and one hand holding the hem of the skirt!
Changle suddenly grabbed a handful of mud and wiped it on Yang Zheng's face: "Return bravely, I will make you laugh, I will make you laugh enough!" Then he giggled coquettishly when he saw Yang Zheng washing his face like a cat!

"Princess, stop making trouble, you see we are busy, you'd better go ashore!" Yang Zheng stretched out his arms and wiped the mud on his face, making Chang Le laugh non-stop!
Yang Zheng suddenly felt something slip under his feet, and couldn't help but feel happy: Loach!It must be loach!

So he immediately copied into the mud with his hands and caught a fat loach!
Changle blinked beautifully, and then asked: "Yonggui, what is this?"

"Haha, princess, this is loach. It's delicious. I'll fry loach for you tonight!" Yang Zheng laughed loudly, and asked Yang Wu to go home to get a wooden bucket!

Now Chang Le's attention was aroused: "It's really fun, I want to catch loach too!"

Yang Zheng had no choice but to help Chang Le tie up her skirt. His fingers accidentally touched Chang Le's fair thigh, and the little girl visibly trembled!

Then teach her to find loach holes!Chang Le spotted a small hole in the mud and slowly stretched her small hand in to pick it up. After a while, she really pulled out a loach!
"Heck, I caught a loach! I caught a loach!"

Unexpectedly, the loach suddenly struggled and slipped out of Changle's hand!Fall into the field and disappear!

Chang Le anxiously looked around, but where could he find it?

Yang Zheng laughed wildly: "Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter, I'm dying of laughter..."

Loach is inherently slippery, how can Changle catch it for the first time?This girl still has a serious look on her face, it's really unbearable to look at!
"Returning bravely, and making fun of me again, I don't care, hurry up and find this loach for me! Otherwise, you will be resisting the decree, what are the consequences of resisting the decree, do you know?" Chang Le stared at the beautiful eyes and threatened, this time It made Yang Zheng angry, who knows where this loach went?Yang Zheng had no choice but to bend down, saw a fresh mud hole and reached out to dig it out, haha, there were actually two loaches!

"Princess, here you are. Look, you lost one and I'll pay you two. Hold on tight! Don't run away again!" Yang Zheng gently put the loach in Changle's hand, fearing that the loach would run away, he tightly covered Changle's chest. hand, Changle blushed!

When Yang Zheng saw that the girl was actually shy again, he quickly said: "Princess, you catch the loaches slowly while I go to cut the rice!" After that, he hurriedly walked out of the way!I don't want to be smeared with mud by this girl again!
At noon, everyone didn't go home to eat. Yang Zheng asked the family to bring the food directly to the pond, so that eating was closer to nature, and everyone knew the truth of "the day of hoeing, every grain is hard work"!Everyone dined on the pond against the sun and father-in-law, but they were all in a very happy mood. Even the girl Changle did not have the airs of a princess at all, and dined on the pond with everyone!After lunch, everyone continues to work!
Although there were no modern tools to assist, but there were many people and it was still early, the work was actually completed. Back in the yard, looking at the millet all over the ground, Yang Zheng visually estimated that it weighed more than 5000 catties!
Yang Zheng smiled with satisfaction: "Haha, the life of Datang is really leisurely and carefree. With all these grains, the granary of Datang may not be able to hold them in the future!"

At this moment, three fast horses suddenly flew up on the village road, counting on Yang Zheng's mansion to run, jumped off the horses in front of Yang Zheng, and screamed: "Your Majesty has an order, and the Guo county man will accept it!"

"Chen Yang Zheng accepts the order!"

"Your Majesty ordered: Order Guo Xiannan to protect Her Royal Highness, the princess, to enter the palace immediately to face the Holy Spirit, hereby!"

"My minister, Yang Zheng, takes the order to thank you!"

Yang Zheng wondered why Li Shimin was in such a hurry to see me?Suddenly he remembered that this girl from Changle was still catching loaches in the field, so she hurried to the edge of the field and shouted: "Princess, come up soon, the emperor has decreed that you and I should enter the palace as soon as possible!"
