Soon, the neighboring villages also knew that there was a little expert in Xujiacun who plowed the fields very quickly.
I didn’t believe it at first. How could anyone plow so fast? This is not flat land.
Mud soil is difficult to plow in the first place, let alone plowing deeply, you are lying!
Until they sent people to Xujia Village to find out the truth, and saw with their own eyes that Xu Yin drove a tractor head that was difficult for them to drive through the mud for half an hour, plowing a large area of land...
"What? The neighboring village also wants me to drive a tractor?"
After hearing the news conveyed by the old party secretary, Xu Yin paused while wiping her face with a towel.
After five busy days, the advanced driving skills have been unlocked, and she also received the task reward from the system——
A new energy long-range RV not only has complete functions and a large load capacity, it can also go up mountains and seas, and has a range of more than a thousand kilometers.
With it, you don’t have to worry about not being able to book a room wherever you want to travel in the future.
Xu Yin was quite satisfied, finally living up to her hard work during this period.
"Girl Yin, it's up to you whether you want to or not." The old party secretary patted his pipe and said, "However, there is a big lake in their village, and they collectively raise some fish, shrimp and crabs. You help them plow the land, and they promise to share some fish and shrimp with you. You. It would be nice to have two more fresh dishes on the table."
Speaking of fish, Xu Yin has long wanted to ask: "Grandpa, Party Secretary, why don't our village raise some fish in the rice fields? Put down the fry now and harvest them when the early rice is harvested. Even if you don't want to do business, you just want to catch a few fish." Come and eat, wouldn’t it be nice to have more fresh meat dishes on the table?”
"Raising fish in rice fields? Can they survive?" The old party secretary was full of doubts.
"Yes, this fish will eat weeds, pests and fallen rice flowers in the rice fields. The fish excrement can provide fertilizer for the rice. It is easier to take care of than farming in rivers and lakes."
"Really? Tell me, how to raise money specifically?" The old party secretary's eyes shone, and he pulled Xu Yin to discuss.
As for what the next village asked him to do, it’s none of their business, let’s talk about it tomorrow!
"Yin Yin, can we raise that rice fish you told the old branch secretary in our fields?"
Xu's mother had just listened to it, and after the branch secretary left, she couldn't help but ask her daughter.
Xu Yin nodded: "Of course."
"Then how many of them should we keep at home? I'll make fish soup for you then."
It just so happened that Xu Yin was going to the next village to help plow the land. There was a collective fish pond there, so Xu's mother went with them and bought a few two-finger-wide small crucian carp, small carp, and small grass carp to use as fry. . When the water is released in the rice field at home, put it in and raise it.
Xu Yin twitched her lips when she saw the fry her mother picked out: "Mom, is this too little?"
In later generations, one acre of land could raise 800 to 1,000 fish. Even if you didn't dare to raise more fish at first, these 100 or so fish would be too few. If you put it in a rice field, you won't be able to find it.
"Isn't this enough?"
Even Xu’s mother thought it was too much, and the fry were not cheap.
But since my daughter thinks it’s too little, let’s have more.
Xu's mother gritted her teeth and added a hundred or so fish. When she finally counted them, she found that the total number of three kinds of fry was two hundred and sixty-eight, which was quite an auspicious number.
Xu's mother hurriedly paid the bill: "We can't have more now. If we raise them well, we can raise more next year, but what if we don't raise them well?"
Fry money is not money.
Xu Yin stopped trying to persuade her.
Although it is indeed easier to raise fish in rice fields than in fish ponds, it does not mean that you don’t need to take care of the fry anymore. At least the fish must be fed, otherwise the fish will be long and thin and not fat enough.
Now there is no place to buy ready-made fish food. Xu Yin endured the pain and spent 500 energy points to exchange for a fish food formula suitable for rural use, which is the cake residue after oil extraction from rapeseed, rice bran, and bran that are available in every household. Wait, mix them together and let them ferment for two or three days, and then they can be used when they are ripe.
But these all require people to do it. My parents are getting older, so I need to raise them less.
Maybe when she sees the harvest, her mother will rush to buy more fry to raise next year without her urging.
Fortunately, Xu's mother followed Xu Yin to Hutang Village early in the morning to buy fish fry. When she went back after shopping, the villagers who learned the news from the old party secretary also came to Hutang Village to buy fish fry.
It's rare for someone to buy it, so Hutang Village is quite happy, and if it's good, it will make extra money.
But when there are so many people coming to buy, I won’t be happy anymore.
The fish in their lake all follow a cycle of big fish producing roe, roe turning into small fish, and small fish turning into big fish. If all the fry are bought, will there be any big fish to eat in their own village? Are there any fish roe products?
"No more selling, no more selling!"
After discussion, the cadres of Hutang Village collectively opposed the sale of fry.
The people in Xujia Village said that they could not persuade the people in Hutang Village to continue selling fish fry, so they had no choice but to go to the county town to find out where they could sell fish fry.
Of course there is, but it will cost a lot of money and time to transport it back, and it will take two or three days at the earliest. Some even put it down a week later than the old Xu family.
Of course, not everyone in Xujia Village listens to the calligraphy and painting of the old branch - they follow the trend and buy fish fry and raise rice croakers, at most one-third.
After all, fry are not cheap. If they can’t be kept alive, won’t the money be wasted?
Therefore, most people hold a conservative attitude and choose to sit on the sidelines to see if the rice fish can survive and whether it is worth raising. Anyway, the rice fields are there, and if you can support them, it won’t be too late to follow them next year.
Among those who choose to raise fish, Xu Jianjun’s family raises the most, more than 300 fish more than Xu Yin’s family. One acre of rice field raises a full 600 fish.
"Look at you, Xu Yin's family only raises more than 200. You insist on raising 600. If you don't want to raise them, you plan to rent someone else's rice field to raise them. I'm really going to be pissed off by you!" Xu Dajiao One head and two big ones, "If you can't take care of them later, it's up to you to fix them."
When Xu Jianjun heard his mother talking about the same thing these days, he chuckled: "Don't worry, Mom! I will definitely make money for you."
"Don't blame me for being like Amitabha and still making money!" Xu Daji glared at him angrily, "I don't know who gave you the confidence."
"Hey, just wait to collect the money!"
Xu Jianjun really didn’t want to raise so many at first. He was chatting with his classmates when he was in night school. When he talked about this, the biology teacher overheard him. He even said that raising fish in rice fields is a good method. If you raise them carefully, the fish will definitely grow bigger than fish. It is grown in large quantities in the pond, and it is said that it is worthy of promotion.
When Xu Jianjun saw what the teacher said, he rolled his eyes and decided to buy another batch of fry. If his mother hadn't refused to use the money saved to marry him a wife, he would have wanted to raise more.
Xu Jianjun's behavior inspired several families, all of whom were brothers who had followed him in the brick factory to earn extra money.
Other families are still reluctant to spend their money, and they express doubts about fish farming in rice fields. Some even gloat and wait to see Xu Jianjun and others lose money.
Xu Yin finished plowing the land in Hutang Village and returned home carrying two large grass carp weighing more than three kilograms.
There are two baskets hanging on the bicycle faucet, one basket of eels and one basket of shrimps, as payment for her help in plowing the fields.
