Chapter 1698
No one cared about Zhang Yanping's grievances. Song Sancheng took the crowd into the pigsty and turned around to drive all the pigs out.
Chen Xi felt so sorry for them: "The sun outside is so hot..."
Song Sancheng looked experienced: "I just said that pigs and sheep shouldn't be kept free-range together for a long time; they've all been spoiled."
Pigs are very smart, but they didn't have the opportunity to show it when they were kept in pens. Now that they are in a semi-free-range state and are occasionally allowed to patrol the village, after going back and forth like this, they have all learned from the sheep.
Earlier, when Zhang Wang was shoveling manure in the pigsty, he was almost knocked down by a round, fat pig head.
After this incident spread, everyone became vigilant.
Then there was the employee Old Zhang, who really had one leg go down.
Fortunately, this pigsty was different from traditional ones; although part of it was paved with cement for easy flushing and cleaning, the pig manure pit was a solid dirt pit.
Because it was cleaned every day, it was dug very shallowly, and straw was spread from time to time, so no major incident occurred.
But after this incident, everyone knew how serious it was.
Especially Song Sancheng; I don't know why, but the animals at home weren't very polite to him, and he didn't have half the treatment Qiao Qiao and Tan Tan had.
He often came to dig for earthworms, and there were always pigs staring at him from behind.
After a long time, he also became vigilant.
Regardless of how many small earthworms he dug, it was serious business to drive the pigs out first.
Besides, he felt that Chen Xi had been raising pigs for too long and was doting on them! Although the pigs were driven out of the pigsty, there was green grass and equally cool places outside, so where were they directly exposed to the sun?
In short, seeing that the pig manure pit had just been cleaned and there was slightly damp soil underneath, he pointed downward high-spiritedly:
"Right here, just dig! The earthworms are many and good."
Fermented pig manure has too much fertilizing power to raise earthworms well. There are some in other places, but the soil quality isn't as loose as this side.
Only this place, which had some slight pig manure residue and damp soil, was simply perfect.
If it weren't for this bit of quality, wouldn't it be easier to just ask Yun Yun's family in the village for a few? In her farming soil, you could sift out half a basket with one shovel.
City people, however, didn't know why but felt it was powerful.
How should I put it? Now it's popular to be rough, natural, and wild. In the old Song family, even digging for earthworms had to be solemnly chosen in such a treasure land...
Oh my!
Everyone held small shovels and looked at the fishing buckets they were carrying: Is this bucket too small? If we catch fish later and can't fit them, wouldn't it be a pity to put them back in the river?
After all, they weren't the old Song family's fish.
Wait, they weren't the old Song family's fish, so why catch so many? They didn't taste as good as the ones at home!
"They're delicious!" Song Sancheng swore.
Although he caught few, he had tasted them.
"These fish are very shrewd. Didn't we set up a blocking net at the mouth of our canyon? They drill back and forth through the blocking net..."
The water temperature, water quality, and fish food here were all very reassuring to the fish. The only drawback was that if they all swarmed over, there would be too many fish, and the water quality wouldn't be good.
Plus, the space for swimming wasn't that big anymore.
Therefore, small fish brains also had wisdom, and their instincts drove them to go back and forth through the gaps in the blocking net every day.
Until they grew up, were blocked, or couldn't get out, at which point they would find another exit...
After all, this kind of blocking net for fish farming in river sections couldn't be 100% isolated.
In short, Song Sancheng tried it himself and concluded: "They aren't as delicious as mine, but they are also very delicious!"
To be precise, not all fish were delicious. But the fish that could eat the earthworms on their fish hooks in the fish competition must be strong and healthy, with good constitution and fragrant meat.
Everyone didn't know the reason, so they thought it was the reason Song Sancheng said, and they felt relieved.
Looking at the small earthworms dug out and the empty big bucket next to them, they said reservedly: "Don't catch too many; just fill the bucket."
"Right, that's what I thought too."
"Although we won't fish until the river is dry, if we catch too fiercely once, maybe no fish will take the bait next time. We can come and catch some every day—such a good place, why haven't I seen other fishermen come?"
Song Sancheng became proud: "If you don't drive a boat from the river beach side, the other side of the river is also a mountain. You have to drive a boat from upstream or downstream..."
It's okay to ride a motorcycle to fish, but it's really rare to drive a boat so far away.
Even if there are, they come in the middle of the night. In broad daylight, under the big sun, driving a boat for so long—except for the convenient conditions of their family, others really wouldn't do it.
The right time, the right place, and the right people—the old Song family had it all now! Song Sancheng also decided to wash away his shame—he didn't mention the other biggest benefit of fishing at the river beach:
That was that the fish here weren't as shrewd as the ones at their own river beach, so the chances would always be a little bit higher. Otherwise, why could he have tasted the fish before?
The earthworms were dug endlessly. Everyone was reserved in their speech, but they all felt that they could have a big harvest today, so wouldn't it be a pity if the bait wasn't enough later!
Finally, Chen Xi saw the pigs grunting and turning around outside again and couldn't help but get anxious:
"We have to eat dinner at seven or eight o'clock in the evening. If you want to eat fish, you have to come back an hour early, right? With just these few hours, you won't need that many earthworms..."
This also made sense.
It was already past 3 o'clock, and there were only 3 hours of fishing time in total. Everyone finally stopped and was high-spirited: "Let's go!"
As soon as the words fell, they saw Song Tan riding an electric scooter with Zhang Yanping.
Two ugly blue small boats from home, one antique-style awning boat specially made by the crew. Song Tan also asked: "Who is afraid of the sun? You can sit in this one."
But it was only a few minutes' drive over, so it wasn't necessary.
Qin Yun was curious: "Is this the one the crew sold to you?"
Song Tan said with satisfaction: "Yes, they sold it to me at a very cheap discounted price, but if they want to come and do reshoots, this must be provided to them for free."
It was said before that they would come for reshoots in July or August, waiting for the sunflowers to bloom at their best. Song Tan also thought to herself:
In July or August, in the sunflower field, on one hand, it's delivering food to mosquitoes, and on the other hand, it's stuffy and not breathable. This suffering is really enough.
But thinking about their salary...
They should be tempered!
Giving ordinary people an annual salary of millions, they don't know how much they love going to work! Not to mention millions, even if it were hundreds of thousands, the people in the village would fight to do it every day cutting rice all year round!
But so far, there has been no movement for reshoots. Maybe this money was earned even more easily by them.
It's just that if they miss August too, the second batch of teddy bear sunflowers at home will bloom and wither, and the quality of the third batch of flowers will be far worse than before...
The awning boat rode the wind and waves, shuttling freely on the wide river surface.
The blocking net at the canyon in front had been removed. Song Tan blew the hot river breeze, and her thoughts had already drifted far away.
?? Here!!! I've been sleepy from day to night these past few days... But I slept for nine hours yesterday, slept for more than an hour during the day, and drank coffee, so I feel okay!
? Here, here!
