Chapter 1038 The lazy and evil sister-in-law of a blessed girl from a rural family (34)
Li Zheng arrived at a good time - the horse's hooves were ripe.
The first stubble of the horse's hooves was big, thin and juicy, so she didn't mind sharing a basket with this little old man who cared about everything.
Li Zheng sighed: "I didn't expect that there are so many things that can be grown in this wild lake and pond."
He was a little tempted, why not buy a small pond and imitate the Meng Jin couple to grow lotus roots, water chestnuts, and raise ducks, fish, and shrimps?
Take a look at the ducks in Meng Jin's family. The young ducks are put in the rice fields to eat insects, and occasionally put into the lake to eat small fish and shrimps. They eat until they have round bellies without much feeding. The old ducks are left at home to lay eggs, one dozen a day.
Sometimes there are two at the bottom, which shows how well they are raised!
I gave him some salted duck eggs as a gift during the Chinese New Year. When I peeled them off, they were all double yolks.
Speaking of salted duck eggs, Li Zheng remembered his wife's advice and asked with a shy face: "Daughter-in-law Meng Jin, have you pickled your salted duck eggs this year? Pickled a few for me. My little grandson is not afraid of your jokes if he says it.
I don’t like porridge, but with the salted duck eggs your family gave me, I swallowed the porridge in just a few bites.”
Not to mention his little grandson, even he fell in love with salted duck eggs and porridge.
It's a pity that the salted eggs pickled at home are just a little saltier than boiled eggs and far less delicious than those pickled at Meng Jin's.
It's oily, fragrant and delicious.
Xu Yin smiled and said: "Yes, the pickled ones last month are just good enough to eat. I'll pack some for you."
Since the ducks at home lay eggs every day, Xu Yin will pickle a batch of salted duck eggs every once in a while.
There are too many fresh eggs to eat, so pickled salted eggs are more durable, and the salted eggs she pickles are moderately salty, with soft yolks and bright red egg oil. Comrade Xiao Jin can kill three of them with just one double yolk salted duck egg.
Bowl of rice.
Li Zheng said jokingly on the road that he also wanted to buy a small pond to plant some lotus roots and raise some ducks to pickle salted eggs.
Xu Yin thought for a while and said: "Lizheng, our village has many rivers and lakes. Why don't we consider opening a collective lotus pond to grow lotus roots and raise ducks? Needless to say about lotus roots, fresh lotus roots can be sold to restaurants and restaurants in the town. Currently in Qinghe County
I haven’t heard of any village growing lotus roots. If we plant lotus roots in Dawa Village, the business will definitely be good. The yield is high, and we can make lotus root powder and sell it to merchants traveling from north to south. If there are too many duck eggs, I can also teach you how to salt them.
You can pick up as many eggs as you want and sell them in the town, and there will be business. In this way, everyone can work part-time at home, and there is no need to go to the town to find work."
Li Zheng looked confused: "Open a collective lotus pond? How to open it?"
Xu Yin simplified the business model of the collective economy of Later Village to Li Zheng.
The more Li Zheng listened, the brighter his eyes became: "Is this still possible? Then I have to discuss it with the clan elders. There are so many lakes and ponds in our village. If we use them as you said, how much profit can it bring to our village...
…”
He didn't bother to take the salted duck eggs anymore, and said that he would let his grandson bring some eggs to exchange for them later. He was anxious to go back to the clan elders to discuss it.
Xu Yin: "..."
The little old man is very mobile!
However, it would be nice to have a collective lotus pond in Dawa Village.
Not only Dawa Village, but also Xiaowa villagers can do it if they are willing.
This is called adapting to local conditions. In another village, if you want to grow thousands of acres of lotus roots, you still don’t have the conditions.
But even if there are lakes all over Dawa Village, there are only a few people who can spend a few taels or even dozens of taels to buy lakes and ponds.
For example, if her family didn't have the fifty taels rewarded by the county magistrate, she would not be able to spend such a large amount of money to buy a lake.
If the village builds a collective lotus pond, plant lotus roots and raise ducks in the early stage, then set up a lotus seed and lotus root powder factory, open a salted duck egg workshop, and then try duck down products, lotus rouge, and lotus leaf tea, there are many money-making projects.
.
Even in the off-season, there is work to do every day, so do you still need to go to town to do part-time work?
Just like her Comrade Xiaojin, she was thinking about the money spent on treating his leg. When the farm break came, she wanted to go to the town to find work. She worked so hard that she earned thirty cash a day, but if she planned her lotus pond well,
Well, maybe I can earn back the money spent on leg treatment in a year.
This is not a pie in the sky, this is a visible return on investment.
The same goes for the villagers. Going to work for others in the town is nothing more than earning a few ready-made copper coins. Working for the village collective, what you earn is dividends at the end of the year!
The workers are the villagers themselves, and the bosses are also the villagers themselves. If you work for yourself, how can you not do your best?
If everyone regards the village collective project as their own business, will the benefits be bad? Will the dividends be reduced at the end of the year?
The more Li Zheng and several clan elders thought about this idea proposed by Xu Yin, the more they felt that there was something wrong with the collective lotus pond!
"It's decided! Do it!"
…
Xu Yin returned home carrying another basket of horseshoes.
Comrade Xiaojin is sawing bamboo strips in the yard. He plans to build a fence in some dangerous places outside the lotus pond and move some clumps of wild flowers on the mountain to make it nice and safe to prevent the village children from slipping into the lake when they come to play.
Ever since he bought the lake in front of his house, Xu Yin didn't need to brainwash him at all. He spontaneously regarded the lake as the couple's common cause and worked hard for it.
When there is no work in the fields, he runs to the lake. With twenty acres of ponds and wetlands surrounding the lake, there is endless work to be done in a short period of time, and after he has done it, he can always find out what needs to be done.
As the lotus pond became more and more beautiful, his energy became better and better, his every move was confident, and he looked more attractive. He was already tall and burly, with a handsome appearance, and now he became even more attractive.
No, when Goudanniang came to her house to do needlework with a basket in her arms, she repeatedly reminded her to keep an eye on her man:
"Widow Zhang from Xiaowa Village came to Huzi's house to buy tofu. She probably saw your man. She chased Huzi to inquire about your man. You'd better get some snacks! Even if Meng Jin is not that kind of person, she can't stand it.
Some women are thick-skinned."
Could it be that "if flowers bloom, butterflies will come"?
Xu Yin didn't take Goudanniang's reminder to heart, but at night, when the young couple were lying on the same bed, the topic inevitably came up and they couldn't help but tease him a few words.
As a result, this guy came and said: "My house, fields, and money all belong to my wife, including me. Ask me next time and ask her what she wants."
After saying that, he turned over and covered her, pulling her to play the symphony of spring.
Since he recovered from his leg injury, married life has naturally been put on the agenda.
The age of the two of them, nowadays, is when youth flourishes, and there is no other entertainment in the evening. It is too easy to get pregnant by singing and singing every night.
Fortunately, after a year of hard work, she successfully reduced her body fat rate to the healthiest standard and her weight dropped to 55 kilograms.
Because of her small frame, you can't see her through clothes, but she's actually quite fleshy.
But obviously, men are better at this. They are worried that she will continue to lose weight, so they desperately catch game and fish for shrimps to replenish her body.
Now that her body has reached a healthy state, Xu Yin has no intention of continuing to lose weight. After all, she will definitely plan to have children in the future, so it is better for pregnant mothers to have some fat on their bodies.
