"Excellent in both character and academics, women will not be outdone by men!" The field director gave Xu Yin a thumbs up.
"Let's go! I will take you to select fish fry. The ancestors of my batch of fish were carefully selected from fish ponds all over the country. They were bred for generations to produce the fish that are now full of the lake. They have never sold fry. You
It’s the first one. But I keep my word and I will give you whatever you want.”
It just makes me feel a little distressed.
Because Xu Yin asked for a thousand pieces.
She planned to divide the thousand fish equally among the three acres of rice fields, and keep the remaining acres of rice fields for use in case the fish got sick and needed to be isolated and raised.
The director was heartbroken, but he still fulfilled his promise.
However, he was also thinking: Every household is raising rice flower fish in rice fields. There are so many paddy fields on the farm, why not give it a try?
And I heard from Xu Yin that rice fields can not only raise rice fish, but also crabs and eels.
Yellow crabs are most in season in June.
There is also a symbiosis between rice and fish, and the rice ears are particularly good, large and plump.
If this breeding is successful, not only will a batch of fish be harvested, but the rice yield per mu will also increase by one to two hundred kilograms.
Xu Yin's words before leaving made the director suddenly enlightened.
He returned to the office, lowered his head and wrote a plan. After writing it, he breathed a sigh of relief. He looked up and saw the big watermelon in the corner of the floor. He smiled and shook his head:
"This rice flower fish is indeed a fashionable item, but watermelon..."
With such a large area of land on the farm, is it still short of one watermelon?
However, after working for a long time, his mouth was really dry. He asked his secretary to come in and cut the melon, then took a slice and took a bite.
"Hey! What kind of melon is this?"
It’s so delicious!!!
…
When Xu Yin returned home, it was approaching evening.
There are still many people gathered in the yard, all coming to inquire about the breeding methods of rice flower fish.
It seems that in the second half of the year, there will be many more rice fish farmers in Xujia Village.
As a result, fish prices at the end of the year may fluctuate.
But it doesn't matter, the price of fish has become cheaper, and people can only see fish on their dining tables.
Moreover, any industry develops in an orderly manner following the market economic law of "no one is doing it" to "rushing to do it", and then to "survival of the fittest, winner takes all".
As long as your own rice flowers and fish are fat and delicious, you are not afraid of competing with others. In a market economy, quality is the guarantee of everything.
Xu's mother sent the villagers away and served her daughter a bowl of mung bean soup: "How about it? Master Yu, are you willing to lend us the tractor?"
"Yes, but I have to help him plow the farm first. They also have task indicators."
"That's as it should be."
Xu's mother felt sorry for her. The older girl drove a tractor back and forth in the fields. Not only did she get tanned, but she also lost weight.
"I'll kill a chicken tomorrow and make some soup for you."
"It's better to kill them during the two days when the rice is being harvested, so that they can be replenished for dad and uncle."
"Okay, then tomorrow mom will line up to buy some bones for you to make kelp soup."
During the busy farming season, everyone will buy some meat to supplement their supply, so meat is in short supply. If you go early, you may not be able to get it, so you can only grab some bones.
"By the way, have you asked about the fish fry? Where are they sold? It's all my fault! I didn't ask Hutang Village in advance to order. Now I asked, and Hutang Village no longer sells them. They said there are too many people buying them and they don't have enough to raise them themselves."
In fact, Hutang Village has seen the rice-fish symbiosis breeding method in Xujia Village and plans to try it in the second half of the year, so it is not planning to sell fish fry.
The other companies are similar to the old Xu family, and they all have little experience. It was not until they harvested that they remembered that the fry for the next season had not yet been found.
Fortunately, Pingyang County is not a small one, so the cultivation of rice flower fish is only known to Xujia Village and several surrounding villages, and it has not spread yet.
You can't buy fish fry nearby, but you can still buy them if you travel further away, which is just a little troublesome.
At this time, Father Xu came back.
"I met Jianjun on the way. He said that a night school classmate's house had contracted a fish pond and promised to sell him a batch of fry. He asked if we wanted to buy it together."
"No, Dad, I was just about to tell you that I made an order with the farm. There are a thousand seedlings in total. The farm director and I selected them together. All of them are good seedlings. I even pulled a net separately. When the time comes,
Just bring the bucket with you."
"..."
The second elder was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted.
"Fish from the farm? That's really good!"
"My Yinyin is really capable. I went out for a long time and accomplished all the things I was told."
Xu's mother was so happy that she wanted to go out to show off, but Xu Yin grabbed her:
"Mom, please don't tell anyone about the fry before they arrive at our house. Otherwise, everyone will rush to the farm to buy them, and the farm manager will be so annoyed that he won't even sell the thousand fry I have."
As soon as Xu's mother heard the truth, she immediately came back. She didn't even dare to go out of the courtyard gate, for fear that if she accidentally spilled the beans, the fish fry that her daughter had managed to obtain would be displayed.
The rice flower fish is a fresh product, so I don’t have to worry about no one buying it.
Xu Yin originally wanted to take it to the county to set up a stall like watermelon, but as soon as she collected it, the villagers bought a lot of it.
Some people can't buy meat and use fish to replenish their bodies. After all, the busy farming work consumes energy.
Some people think that Lao Xu's family has good luck this year, so they buy a fish to bring home for good luck. Maybe the rice fish they raise next season will also have such a good harvest.
There are also a few families who have decided to get married after the busy farming season. The married daughter will hold a wedding ceremony, and they would have to purchase more than a dozen tables of fish.
The rice flower fish is no different from the wild one. It has a strong vitality and can live for several days in a water tank. It can survive until a wedding is held, so I asked the old Xu family to buy it.
It's the same village, just bring a bucket to your door, and you save on transportation costs.
In short, everyone has their own plans, and this is actually an advantage to the Xu Yin family.
There were more than two hundred fish, some of which were kept for home use or given away, and the rest were sold within three days.
The payment was returned so quickly that Xu's mother danced with joy.
"That Stinky Bigfoot is so envious of me! She only sold half of her fish when she went to the county to sell it. Our fish was all sold out without any effort! Hahaha!"
Even more joy is yet to come——
"Old man, how much do you think our fish sold for?"
"How many?"
Xu's mother is in charge of the money coming in and going out, and Xu's father doesn't know.
"One hundred and fifty-seven." Mother Xu's face flushed with excitement, "Excluding the cost of buying fish fry, the net profit is ninety-nine!"
It’s only been three months!
Moreover, I have only raised more than 200 fish, and I think I only sold a little over 200 fish for sale. Next season, my daughter ordered a thousand fry, so after all, she can earn 600.
"Mom, don't be too happy too early." Xu Yin poured cold water on her.
The reason for the good sales this time is that there are few people raising fish. If everyone follows suit next season, the price of fish will also drop accordingly.
Xu's mother slapped her thigh in annoyance: "If I had known, I wouldn't have told them the fish food formula."
Xu Yin said with a smile: "Mom, if our family is the only one that can raise big fish and the other families are all small fish, do you think there will be someone who is holding back their bad feelings and causing damage? Or else, there is something wrong with our fish food.
All in all, it’s more than just a little bit of trouble.”
The second elder sighed after thinking about it.
Xu Yin smiled and said: "If you don't have six hundred, you should still have five hundred."
Xu's mother cheered up instantly: "That's not bad. This is just the money from selling fish. We still have three acres of watermelon! This year's total harvest is about the same!"
