The others followed his example to pull out the seedlings, but with Xie Yupan's lessons learned, they all moved cautiously, but they didn't pull out the seedlings again, but the speed was much slower.
Wen Run saw that they had already started, so he went to the other side to pull out the seedlings. He was used to it before, and after a while, he quickly found the feel, and threw the seedlings into the water in bundles.
After half an hour of tossing around, the others also mastered a little bit of skill, and their speed increased. It took nearly two hours, and the five people pulled enough seedlings for the fifth field, and piled up the bundled seedlings in baskets. Here, the boys carried them to the seedling field on the other side with poles.
The seedling field is not far away, that is, a distance of more than 100 meters. After the three boys took turns to pick it up, Wen Run taught them how to scatter the bundled seedlings in the paddy field. These seedlings are scattered and thrown in the paddy fields, which is not only convenient for picking the seedlings when transplanting, but also keeps the seedlings fresh.
After everything was done, Wen Run went to pull two straight ropes, and stuck the two ends in the field with tree branches, just pulling them into a straight line.
The distance of transplanting rice seedlings is very particular, and it needs to be inserted neatly in rows. Many skilled farmers can insert them straight without pulling the wires, but for Xie Yupan and others, it is more practical to pull the wires.
"Why are you pulling the rope? Do you want to stick it along the rope?" Xie Yupan had already enjoyed it at this time, stepping on the paddy field with bare feet, looking excitedly at the seedlings thrown in the paddy field. It seems to have seen the harvest of these seedlings.
"Well." Wen Run picked up a bundle of seedlings to demonstrate, "Two to three plants are inserted at a time, holding the seedlings with four fingers facing up and thumbs facing down." He showed them the hand holding the seedlings, "It's almost in this position. Just compare the spacing with the seedlings I planted." After he finished speaking, he held the seedlings with his left hand, and quickly planted the seedlings with his right hand, and his feet were still retreating at the same time, but within a few minutes, a row of neat green seedlings had been planted where he walked.
When the others saw that he was doing well, they were ashamed to let Wen Run do the work alone, so they took the seedlings nearby and planted them like him.
Because it was the first time, although it was dirty and tiring, the enthusiasm of the guests was quite high, especially there was an almost omnipotent Wen Run in front of them, no one wanted to hold back, and they all worked hard.
One morning, when the guests were laughing and making noise, they were busy planting rice seedlings, and when the sun was in the middle, Wen Run looked at the results. There are more five-cent fields than expected, and the seedlings in the paddy fields are lush green. Although some are crookedly planted, they can still be seen at any rate and will not affect the growth.
The five of them happily walked back, exhausted, but after planting seedlings and looking at the green paddy field, it still feels very fulfilling. On the way back, they passed a pond, and a few people washed the mud off their hands and feet by the pond. The water quality in this area is quite good, whether it is a pond or a small river, the water is clear and can see the bottom.
In April, the sun was not too hot, the sky was blue and the water was clear, surrounded by endless rice fields, and the few people were not in a hurry to go back, so they simply sat on the stone steps by the pond and played with water. Anyway, the fields have already been planted, so there is no need to think the ground is dirty at this time.
Xie Yupan sat on the farthest edge, his bare feet hanging in the clear water, his eyes turned and stared at the water, and he was still urging Qu Haowen to go fishing, "Why don't we go fishing in the afternoon? Put pickled cabbage fish, lemon fish, chopped pepper fish in the yard... It’s so beautiful to eat in the pot under the sunset.”
Qu Haowen squatted by the water, frowned and washed his hands seriously, ignoring her.
But Zhang Lu suddenly shouted, "Is there a crayfish there!!"
Xie Yupan instantly stood up and leaned over, "Where?!"
Zhang Lu pointed to the other side with sharp eyes and said, "It's right there, lying on the side!"
A group of people surrounded him in the direction he pointed, and saw a dark red crayfish with big pincers lying quietly under the aquatic plants by the edge of the small pond, only two tentacles were moving around.
"There's one there too!" Cai Wenyan pointed to another place not far away.
Xie Yupan's eyes sparkled, "Don't eat fish, why not eat crayfish instead?"
April and May are the season of crayfish. The crayfish are big and meaty. Whether it is spicy or garlic, the taste is special! Don't! Great! !
The others obviously also recalled the delicacy of the crayfish, and they all turned their heads to look at Wen Run. Although they hadn't spoken yet, they had already expressed their meaning very clearly.
I want to eat crayfish.
Wen Run thought for a while and said: "Go back first and ask if there is a ground cage in the village. If not, you can only fish by yourself."
Xie Yupan is a foodie, and he is always the strongest when it comes to delicious food. Hearing this, he immediately said, "I'll ask."
Now the few people stopped playing in the water, and their waists and backs didn't hurt anymore. They went back to the village quickly and went to the villagers to borrow cages. The ground cage is the kind of net-shaped cage, which is composed of grids and is very long. After putting bait in the cage and throwing it into the water, it is generally used to trap loach and eel.
The ground cages for trapping crayfish are larger, but the village here does not specialize in breeding crayfish, so naturally there is no such large ground cage. After several people asked several companies one by one, they finally borrowed a relatively large cage. In exchange, they catch crayfish and score points for one of the three cage owners.
The guests happily returned to the small yard with the ground cage in their arms. Wen Run picked chicken offal and some fresh meat from yesterday's leftover ingredients, and then took the ground cage to the field. Xie Yupan was still thinking about the small pond just now, seeing that Wen Run was walking in the wrong direction, he asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to the pond just now?"
Wen Run said: "There will be more crayfish in the ditch."
There are many ditches for irrigation in the field, only about one meter wide, the water is not very deep, and there are a lot of aquatic plants growing on the bottom and sides. Crayfish prefer this environment. He picked a ditch, threw the ground cage filled with bait into the ditch, and tied the remaining rope ends to the bamboo he brought, and inserted them into the water to fix them.
"Is that all right?" Xie Yupan rubbed his hands together, "How long shall we wait here?"
Wen Run looked at her with a headache, "How can it be so fast, the fastest will be collected in the afternoon, or in one night, it will probably be a little more."
The others were immediately disappointed, "Have you waited so long? Then you won't be able to eat today?"
"Go back and prepare lunch first. After lunch, I will take you to the pond to fish." Wen Run used to play a lot, but now he is not so eager. It's much more fun to squat here and guard."
Cai Wenyan smiled and hugged her, "Let's go, let's go back to have lunch first."
After a few people went back and had a simple lunch, Wen Run took a machete and chopped a few bamboos, green bamboos as thick as a one-yuan coin, cut off the excess branches and leaves, leaving a length of more than half a meter, and then opened the bamboo at the end where the rope was tied. A small hole, stuck to the rope to prevent slipping, is a simple shrimp fishing rod.
One person was given a bamboo pole, and Wen Run picked up the remaining bait, while the others picked up small stools, parasols, buckets of shrimp, etc., and a group of people went to the pond in a mighty manner.
Fishing for crayfish is much simpler than fishing. These shrimps that grow in ditches and ponds are very stupid. Once they catch the bait, they will not let go easily. Just pull it to the surface and use a net to catch it.
In front of food, people's potential is unlimited. With almost no need for Wen Run to teach, the guests have already learned how to fish. They each picked a good place to squat and catch crayfish.
This afternoon, no one went to work at the villagers’ houses. The boys were not afraid of the sun, so they squatted and fished under the sun. The girls still had to pay attention to sun protection. Both Xie Yupan and Cai Wenyan brought sun protection and umbrellas with them.
At the beginning, he was not afraid to take the trouble to hold the umbrella. After running a few crayfish in a row, Xie Yupan became impatient. After wiping the sunscreen frantically, he threw the umbrella aside and concentrated on fishing for crayfish. Seeing her throwing the umbrella, Cai Wenyan followed suit.
The five people squatted from noon to evening, resisting the sun and mosquitoes, and caught more than half of the bucket of crayfish.
Wen Run weighed the weight and said: "I have four or five catties, it should be enough for a meal."
Xie Yupan slapped a mosquito to death, and said with a heroic expression, "It's not in vain that I have been bitten so many times by mosquitoes."
"Go back, go back, go back and eat crayfish!"
Zhang Lu carried the bucket full of crayfish and went back to the small yard with a smile on his face. However, everyone was dumbfounded when they went back to deal with the crayfish. After all, those present were only responsible for eating. Who knew that the crayfish was so troublesome to deal with.
Wen Run distributed a brush to each of them and asked them to be responsible for brushing, while he cleaned the crayfish, removed the shrimp line, cut the head and claws. After such a lot of tossing, it was already night when the two big pots of crayfish came out of the pot.
Everyone was gurgling with hunger, and now looking at the two pots of red crayfish and smelling the spicy smell, they yelled again.
On a cool night, the three boys moved the table to the yard. There are five chairs on the side, and the small orange light in the yard is turned on. Then put the steaming and fragrant crayfish in two pots in the middle, and if there is no wine, use the juice prepared by the program team to deal with it. The five people sat down, raised their glasses and clinked, "Cheers to the crayfish!"
The second night of recording the program was a night full of the aroma of spicy crayfish.
The guests who ate a big meal rested very well that night. When they got up early the next day and went to the fields, there were laughter and laughter all the way. Based on the previous day's experience, the guests this time all changed into short-sleeved shorts and flip flops, and they had nothing to worry about when they got out of the field.
Anyway, I don't know who started it. After planting the seedlings in Wufentian this day, the five people were all dirty, which was even worse than yesterday.
Because the proficiency has improved, it was only eleven o'clock when the seedlings were planted this morning. The chasing guests ran to the place where the ground cage was dropped yesterday, and together dragged the long ground cage up from the ditch.
In the blue-green grid of the ground cage, many crayfish are struggling and crawling inside, and there are also many loaches and eels mixed in.
Xie Yupan was so happy, "So many!"
Zhang Lu said: "Is this enough for two meals?"
Wen Run also looked at it, and there were indeed quite a lot. It is estimated that no one had planted ground cages in this ditch. In addition, the water quality was good and the plants were abundant, so they caught so many after leaving it overnight.
"One-third of them will go out." Qu Haowen reminded them coolly.
"That's right." Cai Wenyan said, "I still have to pay for borrowing the cage."
But even if they had to share it out, the rest would be enough for them to have a big meal. The guests returned excitedly with buckets and cages filled with water. After returning to the village, they went to pay the remuneration for borrowing the ground cage first, and after discussing to continue borrowing the ground cage, they went back to prepare lunch.
Xie Yupan looked at the full bucket and imagined the future, "This is the rural life I want."
There is delicious food every day, life should not be too beautiful.
However, how can we say that FLAG can't stand casually? As soon as they arrived home, the phone rang in the living room. They looked at each other, and they all remembered the fear of being dominated by a sudden visitor.
The phone in the living room rang twice this time. The last time the sound came, three guests came, and they worked so hard for a few days before they could get enough food for a table.
And this time...
Wen Run stepped forward to press the hands-free, and heard the male voice on the opposite side say enthusiastically: "Hi everyone, I am the representative of the 'guest' this time. I will arrive at the small farmyard with three other guests in two days. All guests, please prepare your meals. Entertain us..." After talking a lot, he changed his mind and said, "Okay, the above is actually nonsense, and the next ordering time is the key point. I heard that your crayfish are delicious. , then I will order a braised prawn first, both spicy and garlic flavor... "
After he finished ordering, the other three ordered three more dishes each, making a total of twelve dishes.
Wen Run listened, and always felt that there were two or three people's voices inside that were very familiar, but the voices of the guests were all disguised, and he was not sure if they were people he knew.
After the guests finished ordering, they finally hung up the phone.
Xie Yupan said angrily: "The director must have done it! He is not happy that we are doing well!"
Zhang Lu echoed, "If they can't eat, they want us to be unable to eat either!"
After dissing the director emotionally, they unanimously decided not to let the director's plot succeed. Today's bucket of crayfish must be eaten first. Not eating is not enough to calm the hatred in my heart!
So... this bucket of crayfish went into the stomachs of the guests again.
However, the loach and eels caught by accident were raised. They plan to catch crayfish for another two days and sell them in the morning market together. The money from the sale can just go to buy vegetables.
In order to welcome the guests who came suddenly, the five of them held another small meeting that night. It was decided that Zhang Lu and Cai Wenyan would be responsible for catching crayfish and selling them in the morning market, while the remaining three would be responsible for transplanting rice in the morning.
After finalizing the plan, Zhang Lu and Cai Wenyan borrowed two more ground cages that night, put the bait in and put the ground cages in the ditch.
After spending one night like this, Wen Run took Xie Yupan and Qu Haowen to the field early the next morning, while Zhang Lu and Cai Wenyan collected the crayfish, carried them to the morning market on a small three-wheeler, and then bought back the ingredients they needed.
After such a busy two days. The four guests arrived as promised.
Xie Yupan stared fiercely at Chu Yu, "You came to grab crayfish from me?!"
With a cold face, Chu Yu pointed to Guo Congfei next to him, and betrayed him without hesitation, "It's not me, it's him."
Guo Congfei winked at Wen Run, and said happily, "Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"
Wen Run looked at Shen Muxun and Lu Zhan next to him, and said expressionlessly: "Super surprised, super unexpected."
This program group really knows how to do things.
Wen Run could imagine what a grand event this episode would be when it aired. After "Broken Halberd" was finished, the topic of "love triangle" faded away, and the attention of netizens turned to the "double couple". As a result, the last time they recorded "Eating Chicken", the three of them were in the same frame by accident , Now it's coming again, Wen Run can imagine with his feet what will happen after the show is broadcast.
What's more, even Shen Muxun and Lu Zhan were invited, and there was another Guo Congfei who wanted to find something for nothing.
Wen Run felt his brain throbbing in pain.
