Chapter 209 This family wants to develop, and it can’t be done without me
When Tao Daqiang came to find Li Long in the afternoon, Li Jianguo and the others hadn’t come back yet, so Li Long ignored him. After giving Tao Daqiang five yuan, the two of them Went to Xiaohaizi with the tires, net, and the basin.
“Over in Shicheng, the ditch fish is easier to sell than crucian carp and carp.” Li said as he walked, “There are a few old employees who got close to the ditch fish when they saw it...”
“Then let’s play more tomorrow A basin?" Tao Daqiang's eyes lit up, "It's just a few oil residues, I have them too!"
"Okay." Li Long thought this idea was sound, "This is called adapting to market demand."
In fact, he thinks that the reason why loach was said to be an aphrodisiac was also a reason. He remembers that most of the people who bought it at that time were men.
"Brother Long, do you think there will be a day when we catch all the fish in this small sea?" Tao Daqiang suddenly became worried, "We caught so many on this day..."
"What are you thinking about?" Li Long smiled, "Do you know how many fish there are in this small sea?"
"I don't know." Tao Daqiang said honestly, and then looked at Li Long , wanting Li Long to give him a precise answer.
“I don’t know either.” Li Long gave Tao Daqiang an unexpected answer, “But you should know that small crucian carp in spring will have seeds by autumn, right? Even carp will have seeds two years later. Now, what about this ditch fish? There will be seeds in the second year..."
"Well, I know that. Many of the ditch fish I brought back yesterday had seeds."
"Then you should know that crucian carp has at least several thousand seeds at a time, and other fish are similar, even if it's only one percent Can it grow into... just do the math, How many more fish can be produced in a year? Of course, every time Xiao Haizi releases water, many fish are poured into the ground, but more big fish are smart and cannot come out from the reeds in Xiao Haizi. "
"Well, I saw it too, pour In the water, the biggest fish is Dabanqing. There are very few big carp and silver carp, and Wudaohei has never been seen.” Unless the whole team comes to catch fish, there will be endless fish caught. ..."
"No wonder you asked the captain to connect the ditches and canals..." Tao Daqiang suddenly realized, "Just to prevent the flood from washing away the small sea? The small sea is so big, can the flood wash it away? ”
"Then you've never seen a big flood." Li Long thought about the shocking flood two years ago and sighed, "It's better to be more prepared than not to be prepared at all, right?"
"Yeah, yeah . Many people know about this and say you are a fool for spending your own money to send someone to the team. "You didn't get anything from the workers..."
"You didn't get anything from them?" Li Long smiled, "Just watch, as long as those workers keep Xiaohaizi from collapsing, I can keep you there in three years." Do you believe that Xiao Haizi earned a thousand yuan?”
A thousand yuan!
Tao Daqiang’s eyes suddenly lit up!
A bicycle costs less than two hundred, and one thousand yuan is five bicycles, or ten sewing machines, ten pigs...
What a lot of money!
The two of them walked until Xiaohaizi, and Tao Daqiang had not yet recovered from Li Long's words.
Li Long sat on his tire and went into the water. He first found a suitable place to tie the basin, filled it with water, then sank it, and then went to lower the net.
Li Long knew that the net cannot always be set in one place. Although fish can swim in groups, if a fish is caught in a certain place, it will leave traces when it struggles there. The fish will be careful when they come back later.
Not to mention that fish only have seven seconds of memory, that's fart.
Fortunately, Xiaohaizi is big enough, and there are not as many reeds in it now as there were twenty years ago in the previous life. There are waterways crisscrossing it, and there is enough space for Li Long to change the net every now and then.
Tao Daqiang came to his senses and began to practice throwing nets. You still need to practice more to cast the net, there is no other shortcut. He followed Li Qingxia's movements that he had seen before, straightening the net, twisting his waist, exerting force, and throwing out.
Half of the net came out and fell into a half-moon shape. The feeling of one-third of a circle was stronger than before.
Tao Daqiang was happy at first, but then a little disappointed. Sure enough, this person is talented.
Okay, keep practicing.
Li Long released the net quickly. When he finished releasing the net and rowed back, he saw fish starting to jump on the net.
This was a half-kilogram silver carp, which was not interesting. Although he knew that the silver carp would die when the net was taken tomorrow, he still ignored it and rowed directly to the shore.
Tao Daqiang caught more than a kilogram of fish, mainly small crucian carp and ditch fish.
“Brother Long, there are fewer fish.”
"It's the fish that are smart." Li Long said with a smile, "If we cast and lower the net here at the mercy of the sky, the fish also knows that someone on the shore wants to eat it, so can it not run away?"
Now The gate is still being lowered to release water. In fact, if you are interested, you can put a barrage net there, which is to hold two sticks on both sides. There is a string of "tails" behind the net, and the fish rushing down from Xiaohaizi go directly into the net pocket. , if there is an inverted beard, it will not come out.
But this also requires a network. The supply and marketing cooperative does not seem to sell river nets, and Li Long cannot get this. Unless someone is watching all the time, it will be too easy for others to take it. The fish is gone.
"Brother Long, are you casting two nets?" Tao Daqiang said, "Let me see how you cast the net."
Li Long put the tire aside and took Tao Daqiang's hand He was casting a net inside, and while sorting the net, he explained the essentials to Tao Daqiang again. These essentials were only summed up by himself.
He twisted his waist, swung the net, and let go one after another. An irregular circle landed on the water, making a splash.
Tao Daqiang is very envious - although this net is not as wide as Li Qingxia's, it is much stronger than himself.
“No more fish, let’s go back.” Li Long was sweating and his trouser legs were wet in the water just now. He was anxious to go back and change clothes, “No one will eat this fish if it is too much.”
“I’ll bring back that ditch fish "I went." Tao Daqiang said, "Yesterday I fried a bowl. My dad first said it was a waste of oil, but he ate most of it. I will fry some more today..."
"Your oil." Is it enough? ”
"That's enough, there's still half a pot left," Tao Daqiang said with a smile, "When it's almost gone, I'll go to the commune to get some."
Although it has been almost half a year since the commune was transformed into a township, everyone is still calling The habit has not changed yet.
Back home, Li Jianguo and the others have returned and brought some vegetables picked by the Liang family. Li Juan has also come back and is listening to Li Qiang talking excitedly about what happened at her grandfather's house at noon. Li Juan has an envious expression on her face.
"Xiaolong, have you bought rice and noodles?" Liang Yuemei saw the rice and noodles placed as soon as she entered the house. When she came out, she asked, "There are still some at home."
"Old Mom and dad are here, I guess they eat a lot of corn noodles back home. If we have the conditions here, we should eat more refined grains. Juan and Qiangqiang also need to be healthy, so they should eat more refined grains during this time.”
< br>
Liang Yuemei smiled and said nothing. She understood what her brother-in-law meant.
"Spending money again..." Du Chunfang muttered. Although she had recognized her eldest daughter-in-law, she still felt distressed when Li Long spent money.
"Mom, I bought some cloth and asked my sister-in-law to take the time to make you some clothes." Li Long immediately spoke and blocked Du Chunfang's words. "My sister-in-law is very good at craftsmanship. She can also make one for my father." Set..."
"Did you buy cloth?" Du Chunfang's attention was attracted.
"Well, next to the sewing machine." Li Long said. Du Chunfang immediately went over to take a look, and Du Chunfang also followed. Li Long took out another ten yuan and handed it to Li Qingxia:
"Dad, this is the money for the ditch fish sold today, take it."
"Why is it so much?" Li Qingxia was puzzled, "There are fewer fish than yesterday, how about the money? How many miles can it be?”
“There are old employees, they should be from the south. He said that he hadn’t eaten this loach for a long time and it was sold out. There wasn’t any left—there was a lot left yesterday?”
“Oh...then I’ll go with you tomorrow.” Li Qingxia felt like he was in a dream. It had only been two days and he already had twenty yuan in his pocket.
Twenty, how long does it take to save up to have twenty?
If he could call his hometown village now, he would definitely tell the old guys that he made eighteen yuan in two days!
I only made so much money playing cards in the past six months, right?
When Du Chunfang came out of the house, she was still muttering that Li Long bought too much cloth.
At this time, Li Qingxia felt that his back was much stiffer. He said to Du Chunfang:
"If you buy more, you will buy more. That's what Xiaolong wants. Besides, you can't just do it for us, right? Can't you do it for Juan or Qiangqiang? Money earned must be spent. He feels sorry for us and gives it to his nephew. Isn’t it right for a niece to buy things?
Tiantian is older than him. My brother and sister-in-law have taken care of him, and now they have taken care of him as an adult, so isn’t it right for him to spend money? Now that we are here, just listen to them, ah - God will provide you with good food and drink, so why not? I can't shut your mouth..."
Du Chunfang stopped talking.
Liang Yuemei hurriedly smoothed things over:
“Dad, that’s not what mom meant. What mom meant was that Xiaolong has grown up and has a partner, so it’s time to learn to save money and live a life...”
< br>
"That's right..." Du Chunfang also knew that she shouldn't talk too much, so she stepped down and said, "I'm already twenty-two..."
Li Long felt a little unfair:
" I'm only twenty-one..."
"I'm too old!" Du Chunfang glared at him. Eyes, "My hometown is based on the fictitious age..."
"Okay, okay." Li Long smiled, "If the fictitious age is used, then I have a partner, and they just go to work, so I have to consolidate, right? Don't worry, I will pass. In a few days, I asked the captain for a homestead, and then I saw how to build a house..."
The words just got sidetracked.
Li Jianguo put the horse away. Here he also brought a lot of bamboo shoots and leaves from the thinning seedlings from the Liang family, so Li Juan didn't have to go to the pigweed.
Li Long didn't let Li Juan move. He chopped the pig food and put it in the pot to cook.
Mosquitoes have begun to appear now. When cooking pig food, Li Long went to the edge of the yard and folded a few mugwort sticks and put them under the stove. The smell of burning smoke could suffocate the mosquitoes.
Nowadays, this stuff is everywhere. It will be hard to find it in a few decades, and you will have to cultivate it specially.
While the pig food was cooling, Li Long went to get some salted and dried fish and slowly roasted them on the edge of the stove. Li Jianguo came over, sat next to him and said:
"Xiaolong, I Tell me something. "
"Brother, tell me."
"Today at Juan's grandpa's place, he said that now the market is slowly opening up and people are selling vegetables. Many people in their village near the county seat have started to grow vegetables, and then they will pick them up and sell them in the county. , Business is really good.”
“We are far away, so it’s hard to sell.”
"That's the truth." Li Jianguo said, "But we also have our advantages. The grain fields are immovable, so my grandfather gave me a suggestion and asked me to plant vegetable seeds. There must be many people growing vegetables later, but The seeds supplied by the seed company are only those kinds, so if we want to grow vegetable seeds, we can definitely sell them and make a lot of money..."
"This is good." Li Long thought of this in his last life. Tao is indeed gone, and it is really profitable. However, if Li Jianguo didn't make any money for two years, he would be gone.
“Is it really possible?”
“Of course it will work.” Li Long smiled and turned the salted fish over and said, “Look, now you can make money by growing vegetables. They all want to plant seeds, right? But if they plant vegetables, they won’t be able to save them, not just this year, but also next year and the year after.
There is little land around the county. You can make money by growing vegetables, but once you grow vegetables, you can’t grow anything else. We have a lot of land here, so the deputy vegetable team in the team assigned it to us as a feed plot. Of the five acres of land, you can allocate one to beets and use the rest as vegetable seed land. Selling the seeds will make a lot of money!”
"Okay, let's do this next year..." Li Jianguo actually no longer treats Li Long as a child. Li Long has the ability to make money, and he has the ability to lead the village's sideline team to make money. His vision is not comparable to that of an ordinary twenty-year-old boy. Now that he is discussing with Li Long, he treats Li Long completely as an adult, which makes Li Long feel pretty good.
“You can plant bamboo shoots, yellow radish, and cabbage seeds.” Li Long said, “It’s not easy to get those fancy seeds now. Although many people don’t like such vegetables, they are easy to store. , and cheap, there must be many people planting it..." Li Long's suggestion was popular in later generations.
"Yeah, I thought so too, and by the way, there are green onions."
"Yeah, this is indispensable for eating." Li Long nodded.
When the two people discussed, they made a plan for farming next year.
"How are the wild boars over there at Laoma?" Li Jianguo changed the subject, "By the way, are the roe deer and fawns still alive?"
"The wild boars are okay, but the fawns and roe deer still need to be looked at. Luck." Li Yongzhi He said that this thing is not easy to raise, and said, "It hasn't really grown up yet, so I don't dare to say whether it can be done."
"I met Jun Wazi today. He went to the village for a meeting. He said that in May the village would Comment on a group of people who worked hard to get rich Model, we are the only one in our team who is a professional pig farmer. He reported it," Li Jianguo said a little embarrassed, "He said that all the people on the horse number will be counted."
"That should be included. Ah!" Li Long heard this His eyes were shining, "This needs to be evaluated, and there must be prizes. The village should also provide incentives. Brother, this is good!"
"I just thought that you fed the wild boar... ”
"What's mine is yours, and it's not divided into families now." Li Long interrupted him, "Aren't they all from the same family... Now everyone is trying to figure it out. Brother, if you can decide, then our family We need to build a big pen..."
"I think so too. I will leave a sow in autumn and breed it with breeding pigs next year, and then I will be able to raise more." Li Jianguo also has his own plan.
"Then you still have to plant beets." Li Long followed this line of thinking, "Otherwise, feeding pigs would be a big deal... We can grow some melons, sell the melon seeds, and feed the melons directly to the pigs. "
"That's okay." Li Jianguo nodded, "The pig also eats it, it seems that the melon rind is still a medicinal material..."
The two of them were thinking about the future in front of the stove.
"Uncle, the fish paste is gone!" Li Qiang, who had been paying attention to the salted fish, suddenly reminded him.
Li Long looked down and saw that the fish was indeed a little confused. He hurriedly pulled the fish out and laughed.
