Chapter 137 The reward for the professional pig farmer - you must win
The fish soup Liang Yuemei stewed in the evening, with the leftover rice from lunch, make a bowl of it if you are hungry. Crucian carp soup doesn't require much oil, just add some ginger and peppercorns, and sprinkle some chopped green onion and coriander when it's out of the pot.
Li Juan and Li Qiang were just growing taller and were munching on the rice in the bowl. Li Long was not very hungry, so he slowly picked at the crucian carp bones in the bowl, even a small piece of crucian carp meat. Very fragrant.
"Xiaolong, when you go to sell fish, if you meet someone selling baby pigs, catch two of them." Li Jianguo finished drinking the fish soup, wiped his mouth and said, "Since the higher ups have allowed pigs to be raised, , then let’s raise more. When I’m not working these two days, I’ll take care of myself. Repair the pig pen again."
"Repair it, just raise it in the horse barn, it's not too far away," Li Long said, "I plan to buy a few more, but Uncle Luo doesn't want to. When I have free time, I pay him to raise pigs and horses for us.”
"Is that okay?" Liang Yuemei was a little worried, "Why do you want me to do it?"
"That's not okay." Li Long said with a smile, "Uncle Luo has no time to spare and doesn't want to go to a nursing home. When he helps us raise a pig, he can also raise a pig himself. We can provide him with grass, feed, etc. Don’t worry, he is more willing than us.”
After speaking, Li Long said to Li Jianguo:
"Brother, I think you have to go to the village director and ask if he is going to become a professional pig farmer. What’s the reward? The township encourages side jobs, it’s not just words.”
Li Jianguo stopped after rolling up half of his Mohe cigarette. This is indeed a thing, but he hesitated and asked:
"If there is no reward in the team and we raise a few more pigs, it will require a lot of feed. The bran and bran we have at home are not enough. By the way, there are also those dried fish meal - that is not enough either."
“䱱Let’s ask first, maybe two more acres of land will be allocated,” Li Long said with a smile, “It’s enough to just put on beets and stuff. Besides, if you have time, you can take the carriage to the Shicheng Sugar Factory to get the sugar residue.” Isn’t it great to feed pigs with stuff? "
"Okay, I'll go ask." After saying that, Li Jianguo stood up, quickly rolled up the Mohe cigarette, twisted off the tip on the head, put the cigarette in his mouth, and took the key to open it. He took out twenty yuan from the chest of drawers and gave it to Li Long:
"Take it, this is the money to buy the pig boy."
"I have it." Li Long waved his hand hurriedly, " I still have a lot of money.”
"What you have is yours. How can you spend as much money on family matters?"
Li Jianguo couldn't help but put the money into Li Long's hand, then lit a Mohe cigarette and said:
< br>"I'm going to ask the military boy now."
Xu Chengjun's nickname is the military boy, and there is nothing wrong with the elders like Li Jianguo who have been there since the village was called so.
When Li Jianguo came back from the village director's house, he brought back two pieces of news.
"If you raise more than eight pigs, you are considered a professional pig farmer, and the team will subsidize five acres of land as feed land." Li Jianguo said with some excitement, "If you raise well, there will be rewards from the township!"
" Batou, can you raise it?" Li Long asked worriedly.
"That's no problem." Li Jianguo felt that he was full of energy now, "The land at home mainly grows corn and sunflower, and the main work is weeding, ten acres of land, very fast! If you can It would be easy to allocate five acres as fodder land and plant beets and the like!”
Farming people are afraid of not having the motivation. Now think about it, what you grow is yours, and what you raise is yours! , not to mention how energetic it is!
“By the way, Jun Wazi also said that this year there will be people from the electricity department in the county repairing the poles, and our team will pull the electricity!”
In fact, the idea of pulling power has been discussed before, but the ownership of the production team has always been a problem. The name and ownership belong to the commune, but because it is relatively close to the Corps and occupies a relatively large land area, a farm in the Corps has always wanted to move the production team to their side.
The result is a dispute. Although there are electric poles in the village, the electricity used to be pulled from the Corps, but later the electricity there was cut off.
If the village can bring electricity here now, the village can live a life with electricity!
Li Long is very happy!
At dawn the next day, Tao Daqiang came to Li's house, called Li Long up, and the two of them headed to Xiaohaizi carrying tires and bags.
Li Long Next to Xiaohaizi, Li Long expertly entered the water, rowed to the end of the last net, and began to close the net. Retracting the net is faster than lowering it. You only need to hold the net and pull it forward without even paddling.
Tao Daqiang was the one who closed the net yesterday. Li Long didn’t know the situation. When he closed the net today, he felt that there were a lot of fish. In some places, the net was directly caught and the fish were tangled in the reeds on the side.
This requires carefully picking the net off the reed.
"Plop!" Before the end of the first net was reached, a big carp wrapped in the net suddenly started flopping in the water. Li Long hurriedly pulled the net over and slowly relaxed the net that had been put away in his hand. Slowly reel in the fish. The fish was entangled in the net, and Li Long didn't use any force, so the fish had no use.
The net with the largest mesh that was lowered yesterday was not enough to catch such a big fish. It probably only got entangled in the fin or tail. It can only be said that this fish is unlucky.
Li Long sat on the tire and bent over, put his hands into the water and directly picked up the fish together with the net, picked out the gills and stuffed it into the urea bag.
This carp is at least three kilograms, and the bag sank after stuffing it in.
Give this fish to Manager Zhong of the Big Meat Canteen. He will definitely like it.
After the six nets were closed, Li Long felt that the tires could no longer bear it.
The two urea bags were almost full. Although there was water inside, with the addition of the net, Li Long estimated that he would probably get at least 50 kilograms of fish!
The fish in this small sea are so naive and easily caught in the net!
Afraid of slowing down for fear of the tire flipping over, Li Long dragged the fish in two urea bags and slowly rowed towards the shore.
Tao Daqiang saw that most of Li Long's tires were in the water. He was eager to get into the water. Li Long hurriedly shouted:
"Don't move, just wait there, don't get into the water!"
After finally rowing to the shore, Tao Daqiang didn't care so much. He went into the water and pulled the rope tied to the tire, and pulled the tire to the shore.
Li Long came down and pulled the two urea bags ashore, gasping for breath:
“I’ve caught you with these six nets!”
Tao Daqiang opened the bags. Looking at the fish heads that opened and closed, he laughed and said:
"Brother Long, you put the tire on your back, and I will carry these two bags back."
As he spoke, he tied the mouths of the two bags together, bent down and put them on his body one after the other, tied them up like an ancient sash, and strode back.
Li Long didn't fight him. He took a breath, put on his pants, put on the tires and chased after him.
When they returned to Li's house, Liang Yuemei had already prepared the meal, and Li Juan and Li Qiang were eating.
Seeing Li Long and the others come back, Li Jianguo immediately spread out the plastic sheet, then helped Tao Daqiang untie the bag and pour it on the plastic sheet. Liang Yuemei took out the washing tub and prepared to put the fish in it.
Four people picked fish together. The fish were picked one by one and placed in the washing tub. It soon became full. The remaining fish were simply picked apart and filled with water in the urea bag. Big fish The small fish are separated.
Li Long saw that the fish were almost finished, so he went to prepare his bicycle.
Seeing that Li Juan had finished eating, Li Long said to her:
"Juan, take my car to school later."
"Okay!" Li Juan said with a smile.
After the fish was tied and put away, Liang Yuemei handed a cloth bag to Li Long:
"This is for Xiaoxia. It's in cans and bottles. You have to be careful."
"I understand." Li Long responded.
He estimated that he caught nearly 60 kilograms of fish in total, but some dead fish and too small fish were not packed. There were almost 50 kilograms of fish in two plastic bags on the bicycle.
Li Jianguo meant that Tao Daqiang would take some of yesterday's fish and the fish left over today and give the rest to his neighbors. He couldn't finish it anyway.
