After farming, I opened a family tree

The rice harvest time is about half a month later.

Therefore, the rice fields are drained around this time, and in previous years, it was normal drainage.

But this year is different. Eighty percent of the farmers in Shenjia Village raise fish.

Therefore, every household is waiting to drain the water and collect the fish.

Open the drainage outlet of the rice field, and the water in the rice field will flow out along the drainage ditch, and the fish in the rice field will gradually swim to the drainage outlet.

County Magistrate Lin's carriage stopped at the gate of Shenjia Village early in the morning.

The villagers were even more excited. They didn't expect that the county magistrate would come to their village to collect fish. What an honorable and respectable thing it was.

County Magistrate Lin was also pleased. This Shen Village was indeed a place of simple folk customs. Along the way, the people lined the streets to welcome him. Furthermore, County Magistrate Lin felt that the Shen Village people's welcome was genuine love for him, not just a pretense of respect.

After all, County Magistrate Lin sent soldiers to protect Shen Tang's fields, and also severely punished the head of the Qian family. In the eyes of the villagers of Shenjia Village, County Magistrate Lin is a very good official.

"My Lord, County Magistrate, why don't you come to my house and have some water?"

"Sir, are you here to see the rice fish today? Why don't you come to my house? I have ten acres of land!"

The person who was speaking was Uncle Mancang, whose planting area was also among the top three largest families in Shenjia Village.

"Don't think about it, the master must have gone to the boss's place to check."

A villager spoke with a smile, and became even more excited when he saw County Magistrate Lin nod.

Look, the county magistrate said he was right.

The Shen Tang family had been waiting at the village entrance for a long time and were very happy to see County Magistrate Lin being so welcome.

After all, a good official will be loved by the people no matter where he is.

Although County Magistrate Lin was accompanied by Shen Tang, he also chatted with the villagers he met along the way about family matters and discussed the estimated harvest this year.

Now, County Magistrate Lin has an additional label of being people-friendly in the eyes of the villagers of Shenjia Village.

Although Shen Tang's family only has two acres of land, today, the whole family went to the fields.

The drainage outlets of rice fields are generally located on the edge of the ridges.

County Magistrate Lin walked into the rice field. Because the rice in Shen Tang's family was so many and large, it covered up the scene inside the rice field.

County Magistrate Lin carefully pulled apart a few grains of rice and saw the fish swimming in the middle of the paddy field.

With the sound of a gong, a drainage outlet was dug in the rice fields of Shenjia Village.

Shen Dashan dug a drainage outlet, and the water in the rice fields flowed into the ditch through the outlet.

Liu and Shen Dashan placed the bamboo basket against the drain.

The bamboo basket has hollow holes through which water can flow out.

"fish!"

Little Qin Yan exclaimed.

Sure enough, as the water flowed, many fish swam to the entrance of the rice fields.

It fell into the bamboo basket along with the water flow.

In the rice fields of Shenjia Village, exclamations were heard one after another.

"This fish is so big!"

Shen Tang was also very happy looking at the fish in the bamboo basket.

The rice field fish farming project was a success!

"Sir, I think this rice field fish farming can be promoted. It's not just suitable for my two acres of land. This year, thanks to the trust of my tribesmen, many families in the village have raised fish and have been successful."

County Magistrate Lin looked at the farmers who were filling the fields, all holding the fish they had caught.

"If this method is promoted, it will not only improve people's lives, but also provide more food for the people. The leftovers can be sold for profit, which is great."

When County Magistrate Lin saw the rice fish, he had already thought a lot. If this method was implemented, he wondered how many farmers would benefit.

County Magistrate Lin looked at Shen Tang and wondered why this teenage girl, who was only about the same age as his daughter, could be so unexpected.

From soap to poetry collections, from rice yielding 1,000 kilograms per mu to fish farming in rice fields.

None of these things seemed like something a young girl could do, but they did happen.

He also secretly sent people to investigate Shen Dashan's family.

Shen Dashan is a well-known reliable person, and Liu is a woman who came to Shenjia Village because of a disaster.

Shen Tang was even more mentally retarded and took nearly ten years to recover.

County Magistrate Lin could only attribute all this to God's will. It was because Shen Tang had gone through the test of God that he had such brilliant ideas and good luck.

County Magistrate Lin also became interested and, not minding the mud, caught two fish himself.

Have fun with the people.

It took half a day, and by noon, almost every household had finished harvesting.

Except for a few families with abundant fertile land who were still collecting fish in the fields, all other families had already returned home.

Shen Tang's family only had two acres of land, so they went home early after harvesting.

Earlier, Shen Tang released 160 fish into his own fields, and now he has harvested 156.

Shen Dashan specially found a scale that weighed a hundred pounds.

One acre of land can produce 100 kilograms of fish and 1,000 kilograms of grain.

When County Magistrate Lin saw the weight, the only thing he thought of was this sentence.

Yes, with the rice yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu in the past, although County Magistrate Lin had already been able to accept it, he still looked surprised.

"Sir, why don't you have dinner here today? It's a good opportunity to try this rice fish."

County Magistrate Lin naturally agreed.

After Liu knew that County Magistrate Lin had come to stay for dinner, she used all her best skills.

In addition, Shen Tang had secretly taught Liu a lot of dishes before, so now Liu can be said to be able to serve as a chef in an ordinary restaurant.

The banks of the Qingshui River were crowded with women who came to kill fish.

"Sister Liu is here."

When everyone saw Liu, they all stood up and gave her a good seat.

"I never thought that fish could be raised in this rice field."

"Yes, our boss was worried that the fish might eat the rice."

"I weighed it, and we've harvested 400 kilograms of fish. Oh, we can't even eat it all."

"Who would have thought that one day we would have to worry about not being able to finish eating all the fish!"

......

Bursts of laughter came from the banks of the Qingshui River, and the entire Shenjia Village was shrouded in joy.

The lunch was quite sumptuous, and Mrs. Liu prepared a whole fish feast.

The tofu and rice fish soup has a milky white broth without any fishy smell. Just one sip will satisfy your umami appetite.

The pan-fried rice fish is tender and fragrant, and sprinkled with Shen Tang’s secret spices, it is even more fragrant. County Magistrate Lin especially likes the taste of this fish.

Not to mention sweet and sour rice fish, braised rice with sauce, etc.

County Magistrate Lin was also impressed by Liu's cooking skills. He didn't expect that a farmer could have such a good income. Especially the pan-fried rice fish, I don't know what spices were sprinkled on it, it was really delicious!

"Liu, your craftsmanship is indeed excellent!"

County Magistrate Lin couldn't help but praise her, and Liu couldn't hide her excitement.

Before leaving, Shen Tang specially picked out a few big fish for County Magistrate Lin.

County Magistrate Lin did not refuse and smiled as he went under him.

When we reached the village entrance, we saw many villagers holding fish in their hands, and each one was as good as the ones picked by Shen Tang.

"Sir, take it!"

"Yes, sir, take it."

The enthusiasm of the villagers made it impossible for County Magistrate Lin to retreat, so he had to ask everyone around him to accept the gift.

He wanted to send it to other county magistrates around to try.
