Chapter 18 Opening up new vegetable gardens and fish ponds
"I think this is the weekend, but this meal is not delicious."
Before going to bed, Li Feng thought to himself that Guo Xin's parents were not satisfied with his previous life, but thinking about it, Guo Xin graduated from university and came from a good family. Looking at Li Feng, a person who dropped out of high school before finishing high school and whose whole body combined was not enough to go to college.
A poor boy having a big meal in a hotel.
Normal parents would not agree, so Li Feng was mentally prepared. He didn't know whether he would give the money, or whether he would like it or not.
"Oh, it's better not to give it up." Damn your pride.
"Never mind this, it's time to go buy groceries."
This time there are more than 200 kilograms of vegetables, and I divided them into more than 80 portions. I will tell my parents later and pack them up, otherwise it will be a waste of time." When we arrived at the Beihe market, there were already a group of mothers-in-law and middle-aged people.
The women are waiting.
Especially for those who are buying food for the first time, they see that the food here is really fresh and the price is very cheap. Many people buy two portions.
In the end, all the vegetables were sold out before half past eleven. Of course, some vegetables were left for Granny Mei, Uncle Gao, and Qiqi.
More than 80 portions were sold for 1,600 pieces, and Li Feng was quite excited. You know, the average price of these vegetables is less than one yuan.
"The whole cost was only about 200, and it was sold for 1,600 Hong Kong dollars, which is 1,340 yuan when converted into RMB."
This trip alone made more than a thousand dollars, which made Li Feng so excited that he couldn't sleep.
"Go back to Sand Dune Village first. After all, when facing a woman with a good figure, a strong-blooded person will inevitably misfire."
"It's really hard to be a decent person."
I sighed and returned to Sand Dune Village, read a book for a while, tinkered a bit, and then went to sleep, because I slept until twelve o'clock in the afternoon, so I wasn't too sleepy in the second half of the night.
After seeing off Guo Xin the next day, Li Feng bought about thirty durians and thought about whether the live fish inside the light beads would grow. Then he gritted his teeth and bought a few sea fish. Now Li Feng's pocket was empty.
"Thirty durians cost 1,800 Hong Kong dollars, and a few sea fish also cost several hundred Hong Kong dollars."
This time, more than half of the 2,000 yuan given by Guo Xin for living expenses was paid in. Li Feng only had a few hundred Hong Kong dollars left in his pocket.
"It's a pity that I haven't met the fat man these days. If I could get back 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, I would be better off."
When I returned to Shaqiu Village, I first helped my parents pack the vegetables they purchased. There were a few vegetables today, only about 200 kilograms. "Dad, we harvest vegetables every day. Why don't we grow more at home? One yuan per kilogram is enough."
Accept it, it’s very expensive.”
"That's true. Xiaofeng will go to the city later and bring back some vegetable seeds."
"I got it, Dad."
There is also a piece of land in the backyard of the house, which can be cultivated and planted. I didn't grow much before because there were few people in the family and I couldn't eat it. But now it's different. I can get money for growing vegetables. The couple plans to get some soil and fertilizer and then plow the land.
one time.
From what he heard, Li Feng felt that although it was cheaper to collect vegetables from outside, the supply of vegetables could not be guaranteed. Besides, they would not be selling food that day. This was not to be blind. It would be best to supply most of the food at home, and it would be best to collect some from outside to make up for it.
At that time, even if you can't harvest vegetables outside, you don't have to panic. "Dad, how about I buy a small farm machine, which will be more convenient."
"Kid, your dad and I are not old enough to turn over that much land, so don't spend this wasted money."
"Isn't this more convenient?"
"Let's take a look first."
After Li Fushan said this, Li Feng didn't say much more. "Okay, I'll look back and see, Dad, Mom, I'm going to deliver the food first."
"Go ahead, don't drive too fast on the road."
"knew."
After leaving Shaqiu Village, we came all the way to Chang'an. "Xue Qin, I'm almost there. Okay, you guys wait at the gate. I'll take ten minutes at most."
"Thirty durians."
Li Feng calculated that he had made a lot of money on this trip. When he arrived at the gate of Chang'an University, Xue Qin and the others were waiting. Li Feng looked around and saw that there were more women than men. Most of the male students came to help pay.
"A lot of new faces have been added."
After all, as a college student, it’s okay to eat durian occasionally, but ordinary families really can’t eat it every day.
"Boss Li, you can also pick a good one for me." Xue Qin said with a smile.
"OK."
They were almost the same, so I picked one that looked bigger and handed it to Xue Qin. After all, it was my 'salesman' who calculated the price based on the face price first and would refund it later.
Thirty durians were supposed to be refunded 150, but Li Feng gave them 160 instead. After all, Xue Qin still wanted half of the employee's internal price.
In total, the income from this trip was more than 2,000 yuan. After deducting the costs, he made a few hundred yuan. Feeling comfortable, Li Feng returned to the town and went to the agricultural technology station to buy some seeds.
"Are there any watermelon seeds?"
"Yes, what kind do you want?"
"You recommend it."
"Green-skinned, big in stature and solid in skin."
"Hua Pi, small in size, high in sweetness and fine in taste, most grown locally."
"Okay, one bag of the same."
I also received two bags of other vegetable seeds. After buying them, I also bought some chemical fertilizers. A small amount of chemical fertilizers does not affect the quality.
"Thank you, boss." After loading the car, Li Feng returned to Shaqiu Village. When he returned home, he saw Wang Fengxia and Li Fushan working in the backyard.
Li Feng's shovel came to help. "Mom, do we still have fish in our pond now?"
"No more support."
Wang Fengxia said, "But there should be some fish in it. His dad, hasn't he cleaned the fish pond in a few years?"
"For several years, there has been mud underneath."
"Silt, I heard this stuff is quite fertile?"
Li Feng came up with the idea of raising fish. At least give it a try. Anyway, he has to stay in his hometown for the past few years. It would be good to raise some fish himself. Moreover, the fish and shrimps that have been put in the light beads seem to have really grown up. "Dad.
, how about we find an excavator to clean up the pond, raise some fish and shrimps, we can eat them at home, and if we have more, we can give them to my brother-in-law’s stall to sell."
"Doesn't this cost a lot of money?"
"Our pond is not big, so hiring an excavator costs only a thousand or two thousand yuan at most."
Li Feng calculated that the excavator had to remove the pond silt in half a day, which was about two to three hundred yuan an hour. "The fertility of the silt removed by this process must be good, and it will save a lot of fertilizer money."
"Okay, I'll ask later."
Li Fushan nodded. Li Feng was right. If you clean the pond and use the silt dug as soil fertilizer, you can save at least hundreds or even thousands of dollars. This is quite cost-effective. As for fish farming, you can follow your son's tinkering, as long as you don't invest a lot of money.
become.
It's okay to raise it for one's own consumption. After saying this, the matter was settled. The fish ponds were cleaned, vegetables were planted, and Li Feng's family started to build a lot, which inevitably aroused curiosity in the village.
"Raising fish, what do you think? These fish are not easy to raise."
"Yes, in the past few years, every family suffered losses from fish farming."
"It's only been a few days. I've made some money and started messing around."
"I think this fish can't be raised."
Li Feng didn't care what the outside world said. He just hired an excavator and started working. There weren't many fish ponds at home, and it only took him half a day to dig them all out. During this period, he also got dozens of kilograms of fish and shrimp, because he was afraid that they wouldn't be able to feed them, so Li Feng had to give them to him.
Li Feng's fish stall in the city was sold.
Some small fish and shrimps were caught by Li Feng, and he planned to observe again to see if these fish can really grow up.
"Oh, I'm going to the Hongmen Banquet tomorrow, so I feel a little complicated. After getting along with each other these days, there are really not many girls like Guo Xin." He sighed, but unfortunately he didn't have such thoughts now, and making money was the most important thing.
