PNB Chapter 303 Catching Crabs
Chapter 303 Catching Crabs
That would be great!
I never expected to hear such a good thing that benefits the country and its people today!
Dou Weiyi nodded repeatedly. He would be happy to wait even a year or two, let alone after the age of fifteen.
Thinking about this, he was so excited he was completely overwhelmed.
She immediately turned around, grabbed Dou Zhanxiong who was still trying to curry favor, and ran off. She needed to go back and discuss this matter with Qin Shensheng.
When the time comes, we'll invite people from the whole county to come and learn.
No sooner had Dou Weiyi left than Lin Xi returned home. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Gao Mengli rubbing her temples wearily.
He rushed over and helped Gao Mengli up: "You, with internal injuries, why are you getting up?"
"Quick, let me help you back to your room to rest."
Meanwhile, the buck-toothed Yu, who had just seen the two finish their conversation, was about to help Gao Mengli up, but Lin Xi beat her to it.
She looked down at her hands and clenched them weakly.
It must be admitted that Lin Xi is not a husband, but he is better than a husband.
His tacit understanding with Ah Li was a level of harmony that she couldn't match even if she rode a horse.
It wasn't love between men and women, yet it surpassed romantic love. Between them, there was no romantic love, because it was the bond of family…
If it's family ties, then she really has absolutely no hope...
Given Ah Li's rational nature, family is what she pursues throughout her life.
Yes, "love between men and women" is ephemeral and fleeting; love is in the morning and ends in the evening, and when disaster strikes, everyone flies away.
But no matter what she gives up, she will never give up her family, just like she would never abandon the chubby girls.
Suddenly, it dawned on her...
Actually, she had already understood, but she just wanted to give it her all so she wouldn't have any regrets.
What does it mean to hit a wall like Lin Xi?
Pshaw, she's just unlucky!
If only she could meet Ah Li sooner... Seeing the person she loves happy, she had no other desires.
Whether she is happy or not doesn't matter, as long as Ah Li is happy, after all, love is not about possession, but about fulfillment.
Having figured this out, Bucktooth Jade stopped worrying and happily packed her things, heading back to her toothless father's place that very night.
Seeing the buck-toothed Yu packing her things in her room, Gao Mengli was a little puzzled: "Yu, your shoulder injury hasn't healed yet, why don't you stay a little longer?"
Bucktooth Jade shook her head: "No, Ah Li, I'm fine. You should rest well. I'll come and keep you company again tomorrow!"
Seeing that the buck-toothed girl was packing her things, Lin Xi quickly came over to help her: "Ayu, let me help you!"
After all, he didn't want to sleep with Da Niu.
His eldest son stays up very late, and he still has to read books and recite poems at night. His ears are practically calloused from hearing it so much.
I finally managed to get into a warm bed, but as soon as my big son crawled into it, the temperature dropped several degrees instantly.
In addition, Da Niu practiced martial arts, and soon after lying down, the bed felt like a hot oven, so hot that he woke up several times during the night.
Indeed, the changing seasons, from cold to warmth, are nothing short of dire.
Gao Mengli was exasperated by Lin Xi's swift movements.
Seriously, his excitement was so obvious.
"Ayu, let me help you with your things and see you off!"
Lin Xi hoisted the large package onto her back, and without waiting for Baoya Yu's consent, immediately strode out.
Just before leaving, Bucktooth Yu turned around and glanced at Gao Mengli one last time, but the words stuck in her throat.
Gao Mengli was puzzled by the stare and couldn't help but ask, "Ayu, wh, what's wrong?"
In the end, Baoya Yu didn't say anything. He smiled and shook his head at Gao Mengli, then went back under the cold winter moonlight.
Gao Mengli stared blankly at the departing figure of the buck-toothed jade, a relieved smile on her lips.
Ah Yu, you will be happy in the future!
Thinking of Dou Zhan's attentive manner, Gao Mengli felt that he would be a good man.
At least, he wasn't a high-and-mighty young general who judged people by their appearance.
After waiting for a while, Lin Xi returned humming a little tune.
She opened the wardrobe in the room, made her own bed with clean sheets and blankets, and then snuggled comfortably into her blankets.
Take a deep breath of the scent of the bedding!
"Ah, nothing beats the comfort of your own bed! By the way, Mengli, what were you and Dou Weiyi talking about just now?"
Gao Mengli closed her eyes, then slowly opened them again: "Xixi, now that I've taken the step of capturing the Crown Prince alive, we don't have much time left."
Perhaps it won't be long before we face a tough battle...
Therefore, I want to start preparing by focusing on grain production.
"Grain yield? Mengli, are you going to improve the rice variety?"
Gao Mengli laughed when she heard this: "What are you thinking! I'm a human being, don't treat me like a god."
Is it possible to improve rice varieties so easily?!
Even if we build upon the work of our predecessors, given the growth cycle of rice, it would likely take several years to improve it, which is far too long.
Lin Xi nodded:
"That's true! The fire is so bad it's almost burned our eyebrows off."
There's definitely not enough time. So, Mengli, what are you planning to do?
Gao Mengli tilted her head: "Xixi, starting tomorrow, you should ask the village chief to mobilize the villagers to catch crabs in the river. We will collect them all, regardless of size."
Then, they found people to dig two ponds upstream on the river.
"Huh? Crabs? Does that mean we'll raise crabs from now on?!"
Lin Xi's eyes lit up instantly, and various delicious ways to eat crabs flashed through her mind.
"Mengli, your idea is brilliant! If we raise these crabs and steam them, we can preserve their original flavor. The crab meat will be tender and the crab roe will be rich and flavorful. Dip them in some ginger and vinegar sauce, and the taste will be indescribably delicious!"
There's also spicy crab, crab roe tofu, crab hot pot, salt-baked crab, crab roe soup dumplings..."
Lin Xi was slurping his saliva as he spoke.
Even Gao Mengli kept swallowing her saliva as Lin Xi spoke.
Swallowing her saliva, Gao Mengli quickly stopped Lin Xi's incessant "late-night poisoning."
Damn, there are no pictures or actual products, just descriptions, which leave so much to the imagination and make one's mouth water.
"Xixi, crabs are indeed raised for consumption, but that's not the point."
"Huh? Raising crabs is for eating, if that's not the point, then what is?"
Lin Xi was puzzled. Had he misunderstood?
Are these crabs meant to be fed to ducks?
No way! We have to raise him and stuff him into his stomach; we can't let the duck have it for free.
"The important thing is, I'm planning to raise rice paddy crabs!"
The village has ducks that eat grasshoppers from the fields, and the rice paddy crabs keep the water pests at bay!
After hearing Gao Mengli's explanation, Lin Xi slapped her forehead and remembered this: "Oh right, how could I forget such an important thing!"
Rice paddy crabs can eat pests in paddy fields and also help with weeding, making them a truly amazing way to increase yields.
In addition, no chemical fertilizers are used here, so the rice paddy crabs raised here are all-natural and pollution-free, and their meat is sure to be delicious!
Unfortunately, rice paddy crabs need to be raised for two years before they can be eaten. The crabs in the first year are too small; they only become ready to be cooked in oil after two years…
Lin Xi licked her lips. Seeing something but not being able to eat it was truly agonizing and unbearable.
