1427. Drought (2)
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Let's consider how to solve this problem." Ao Muyang waved his hand.
Ao Qianying said: "To solve this problem, you can only ask the Dragon Prince for rain. Village Chief, you are the leader now. According to the rules, when encountering a drought, the leader will lead the team to rain. Why don't you take the lead in asking for rain?"
Ao Qianyou said disdainfully: "Fethical dregs! You superstitious!"
Ao Qianying stood up suddenly: "Mom, Dayou, who do you think is superstitious? Who is the fortune teller?"
Ao Qianyou's face turned red, and he shouted: "Fortune-telling is not superstition, it is metaphysics, metaphysics is science..."
Laughs sounded in the office and the atmosphere became very happy for a moment.
Ao Muyang had no choice but to spread his hands to let everyone go back and wait patiently.
After seeing off the group, he remembered that he had not been to Ambergris for several days and did not know what the water level of the lake was like, so he walked to the lake with his hands behind his back.
The drought has a great impact on rivers, lakes and ponds, but the situation in Ambergris is relatively good because it is supplemented by groundwater, and the water level of the lake will not be much lower than that in spring.
There are many small boats floating on the lake, some are fishing, some are taking photos, and cormorants come out of the water from time to time. When they return to the boat, the owner will pick out fish from their mouths.
Today is the weekend, and there are children swimming in the lake. The July sun is already getting hot and the clear lake water is illuminated warmly. Ao Muyang took off his shoes and walked down barefoot, feeling quite comfortable.
There are tourists catching crabs by the lake. In fact, there are many good things in Ambergris. As long as you lower the pole here, you can always catch a few fish. If you walk around the lake, you can find shrimps or crabs.
When Ao Muyang saw a few stones with snails growing on them, he went over to pick up some snails.
At this time, the snails were already delicious. He didn't pick up much of these stones, so he walked along the lakeside and continued to look for snails with his bags.
People come and go by the lake every day, and tourists will pick up snails. In this way, snails are no longer seen in most places. He remembered that no one was going to protect the waters of spotted turtles, so he walked over with a bag.
When he arrived at the protected waters, he didn't see Chen Xin. You should know that the turtles were too precious. Chen Xin would stare at them as long as he was awake.
He wondered for a while and saw Chen Xin squatting on a farmland and smoking.
Seeing this, Ao Muyang shouted and asked, "Old Chen, what are you doing? Are you going to work in the fields?"
Chen Xin glanced at him and said, "I'm putting turtles."
Ao Muyang wondered and asked, "Why don't you stay here if you let the turtle go? Oh, are the spotted turtles running into the canal?"
Chen Xin said: "They are not running into the canal, they are settled in the canal!"
When Ao Muyang heard this, he became excited: "That's good, let them stay there. I've removed this reserve. The tourists have a lot of opinions about not being able to come here to visit."
Chen Xin wanted to refuse, but Lao Ao did not give him a chance to speak, and after that he turned around and left.
In addition to the snails by the lake, there are also snails in the rice fields, so he moved his position to search for them.
Poor weather is dry and rainy, and the rice fields in the village are all supported by wells.
But it is strange. The water flows in the springs under Ambergris Lake. There is no water in the wells in the farmland not far apart. The villagers can only arrange numbers to irrigate. This number is not easy to irrigate because the well water accumulated for a day and night is not enough for the machine to pump for an hour.
There was a big willow tree next to the well, and several people gathered together to play cards under the shade. When they saw Ao Muyang, someone stood up and shouted: "The village chief is here to enjoy the cool air. Why are you doing this hot day? Bathing in the sun?"
Ao Muyang walked over and smiled and said, "Brother Min, what are you playing? I came here to find some snails and I want to go back and fry some snails."
Ao Mumin sneered: "Hi, what are the fried snails? You can eat them here at my brother at noon. My second uncle's crayfish have grown up and are very fat. At noon, let's touch the crayfish and have a spicy crayfish!"
"You guys are ready." Ao Muming smiled and pointed at the things they used as the card table. It was a pan, and now it was being pushed back to the ground with cards on it.
After Ao Muyang arrived, Ao Mumin packed up the cards and said, "Come on, the village chief is here, let's clean up and get some crayfish back and simmer."
Ao Xiaofei said dissatisfiedly: "You can't deal with it. You want to run away after you win the money? That won't work!"
Ao Mumin raised his foot and kicked him in the ass and said, "Stop talking nonsense, do you still dare to gamble when this village chief comes? You are very brave!"
The three of them divided the work and cooperated. Ao Mumin took his net bag to touch the crayfish. Ao Xiaofei went to the well to drill the well to wash the pot, while Ao Muming went to find firewood and prepare seasonings.
Seeing that he was fine, Ao Muyang helped Ao Mumin touch the crayfish.
Two families in the village have converted paddy fields into crayfish breeding sites. This thing has strong vitality and fast growth. It only takes two months from shrimp seedlings to mature production. Crayfish have been supplied in the village since last month.
At this time, there are many tourists in the village, and there are not enough crayfish raised in the two paddy fields, so it mainly depends on buying them in the town.
Ao Muyang knew that crayfish was not cheap, so he asked Ao Mumin: "Your second uncle is so precious to make crayfish. Can you sneak him like this?"
Ao Mumin said indifferently: "Hey, how much can I touch it? Two months ago, I did a lot of work for my second uncle for free. I have to come to collect the fields every night. What can he say when I eat a few crayfish?"
When the crayfish mature, they will be excited at night. The paddy fields are not closed, so they will run out and drill into the rice fields around them along the ridges.
Crayfish are not welcome in rice fields. They like to dig holes too much, so there will be less water this year. If crayfish are drilled into holes in the ridges, there will be serious water waste problems.
Therefore, when raising crayfish, people have to be sent to watch at night. One is to collect lobsters to prevent them from running off-road, and the other is to prevent them from being stolen.
Listening to Ao Mumin's words, Ao Muyang asked, "Is anyone stealing crayfish now?"
Ao Mumin said, "Yes, why don't there?"
As soon as he said this, Ao Muyang frowned: "Then why don't you tell me? There are still thieves in the village now? That's absolutely not possible!"
Ao Mumin grinned and said, "No, aren't we going to steal my second uncle's crayfish?"
Ao Muyang rolled his eyes and said, "Can we two be considered stealing?"
Ao Mumin said, "Then it's gone."
During the day, the crayfish crawled into the rice fields and sealed the holes. In this way, they went to the edge of the field to see that there were only some water grass debris, and there were no crayfish.
Catching crayfish on a large scale is to get off the net at night, and when you come in the morning, the net is full of crayfish.
Ao Muyang and the others had no time to get off the net, so they started to touch them in the paddy fields.
