Chapter 511 The male protagonist's cannon fodder cousin (34)
"After the New Year, when the ice and snow melt, you can work hard and go to Wanhua Village." Xu Yin said to the nursing home, "Tell the village head to wait for spring and after the rice seedlings are planted, fish and shrimps from the river can be fished out."
Come up and sift through it. It's time for the filial piety. Send some to the mansion, and Zhuangzi keeps some for himself. The youngest ones are put back into the river and continue to be raised. The fry that are a finger wide are picked out and raised in the rice fields.
.”
"Ah? Fish can still be raised in rice fields?" The nurse was stunned.
Others also looked confused.
"Of course!" Xu Yin explained, "Didn't the old man say that the water used to raise fish and shrimp irrigates the rice fields and the crops grow well. Why is this? Because the feces excreted by the fish and shrimps moisturize the rice fields, and the fields have enough fertilizer.
Will the crops grow well? In that case, wouldn’t it be more convenient to raise the fish directly in the rice fields?”
"Really!"
The maids, mothers-in-law, and nurses present all suddenly understood and felt that they had opened up new ideas.
Of course, rice flower fish is not that easy to raise.
After the New Year, Xu Yin wrote down the experience she had accumulated while raising rice fish and asked the nursing home to deliver it to the head of Wanhua Village.
To prevent Zhuangtou from being illiterate, she deliberately used a multi-frame comic format.
A picture is accompanied by just a few words, which is vivid and interesting. You can understand the meaning of the picture just by looking at the picture without reading the words.
After reading these simple pictures in order about how to raise fish in rice fields, how to prevent fish diseases, and how to make fish grow faster, Zhuangtou suddenly realized: "It turns out that fish can still be raised in rice fields! The methods don't count.
Disaster!"
So what are you waiting for!
As a result, Wanhua Village under the Xu Mansion started raising rice flower fish in full swing.
The fish in the river were so overflowing that they were about to rebel. Finally, they were happy to move into a new house. They no longer had to crowd the river with so many fish. The fish life was perfect!
The finger-width fry, as soon as they were put into a well-watered seedling field, swam with their tails flexibly.
They also seemed to feel very happy: the original river was too crowded, and they had to compete with a group of big fish for food, and they were frightened all day long.
It's so spacious here, and you can see small flying insects falling into the water everywhere, and you can eat them by opening your mouth. Even if there are fish grabbing food, they are fry about the same size as yourself. Come on! Let's compete! You have to see whether you can grab the food.
Can beat it.
In addition to tiny flying insects, the rice flowers have bloomed and the buds have fallen down, which is also an extremely fresh and delicious food for fish.
In short, in the new environment, these fish live very vigorously.
Zhuangzi, a subsidiary of Xu Mansion, would deliver Zhuangzi's output to Xu Mansion every three or five times. There would always be times when we met, and the people who delivered the goods would get to know each other after going back and forth.
The raising of rice flower fish in Wanhua Village has become a new topic on the lips of the farmers recently. After the family paid filial piety, he came to deliver big fish to his employer, and the farmer who delivered the goods made a show of it.
Other farmers in Liangtianzhuang were quite surprised when they heard this: "Raising fish in rice fields? Can they survive?"
"It's easy to feed! It's more lively than in the river!" said the farmer of Wanhua Village happily. "Our village head said that it was the girl who came up with the idea, saying that the fish lived in the rice fields and the rice seedlings grew well.
When the time comes, the rice will be full and the fish will be fat. What do you call this? Kill two birds with one stone! Hehe, I can also use a formal word!"
The farmers of these Liangtian Villages turned around and told the village head that Wanhua Village picked small fish fry from the river and raised them in the rice fields. They said that the rice grown in this way was fuller than rice without fish.
None of the farmers believed it: "Won't the fish destroy the rice seedlings? Isn't it good to just farm on your own land? You have to do it. Let's see, the yield per mu will drop due to the tossing. Let's see how he explains to the owner."
Not only did the village leaders not believe it, but the old housekeeper couldn't help but worry after hearing about this: Fish are being raised in the rice fields? Won't the fish destroy the seedlings?
Then I thought again: It’s a good thing that a girl cares about her farm! It doesn’t matter whether it succeeds in the end, as long as the starting point is good!
Anyway, the weather has been good these past few years. The grains grown in the village are full of granaries. Not to mention just a few acres of rice fields to raise fish, what if the entire hundred acres of fertile land in Wanhua Village are used to raise fish? If you want to raise fish, then raise it!
He will bear it if it is spoiled!
The old housekeeper trembled slightly and pulled out the mahogany box from under the bed that the old man had rewarded him with. Inside it was neatly packed the monthly silver he had accumulated over the years, leaving enough for his pension and a lot left over. He stroked his beard with confidence.
, I don’t have to worry about this anymore.
After he became a mourner, he was busy painting all the courtyards in his house. After three years, the paint on the doors, windows and pillars were all mottled.
The girl's guess was correct. She had just picked the white gauze and black flowers and painted it with a new coat of paint to give the house a brand new look. Visitors came to the door immediately.
There are family friends of the Xu family, colleagues in the business world, and the most outrageous thing is that there are actually matchmakers, and there are more than one, one, two, three, four, five...
The old housekeeper was so surprised that his jaw dropped.
Even though he has been a housekeeper for so many years, he has seen all kinds of visitors, but he has never seen such a battle - a group of matchmakers among a group of visitors, fighting for the land to match his girl.
"Housekeeper, housekeeper, mother-in-law, I came here today because I want to tell the girl in the house about a good marriage that is the only one in the world..."
"Why are you squeezing? You're the matchmaker, aren't I? You don't understand the first-come, first-served rule? Really!" Another matchmaker rolled her eyes and squeezed away the queue-jumper. She looked at the butler and immediately changed her face, smiling broadly.
, "Butler, I want to connect the girl with you. The fourth young master of Liang Mansion is both talented and beautiful, and has unparalleled conduct. He is definitely a good husband that is hard to find in this world..."
"Oh, butler, please listen to me, Lu Mansion..."
The old butlers, one old and two old, quickly waved their hands and declined: "I can't be the master of this matter, so please go back first!"
If the matchmakers failed to get the job done and would not get the reward, they would not leave easily and continued to talk around the old housekeeper.
"Xuxing! Xuxing! See off guests!"
Xu Xing was dumbfounded and reacted: "...Oh! Ladies and aunts, please go back first!"
No one paid him any attention and squeezed him out of the hall with a few twists of his butt.
Xu Xing: "..."
This is really pointless!
Suddenly, an idea came to my mind, and I ran to the accounting room to fetch reinforcements: "Mr. Sikong! Mr. Sikong! I'm offended! Your face... is nothing like that. Let's borrow it and ask them out of the house!"
Sikong: "..." Are you polite?
But he didn't refuse, and Ren Xuxing pulled him to the hall.
"Ahhh!"
Sure enough, seeing Sikong's face, these matchmakers were shocked, "Who are you? You, you, you! What are you doing! Stay away from me!"
"I'll see you off on behalf of the housekeeper."
"..."
It was obviously a way to see off guests, but the words coming out of this person's mouth were so breathtaking! It seemed like he was sending them off to the West.
Oh...the matchmakers couldn't help but shudder.
"Forget it, since the housekeeper is busy, I won't bother you anymore. Come back next time!"
"Then I'll leave too, and please ask the housekeeper to say a few nice words to Mr. Liang in front of the girl!"
"And our Mr. Lu..."
After saying that, they all ran very fast on their little feet, as if ghosts were chasing them from behind. Xu Xing couldn't even catch up.
Seeing that they had finally left, the housekeeper raised his sleeves and wiped his sweat.
"Sikong, thank you so much today! I never thought your face could be of such use..."
Sikong: "..." To be honest, I didn't expect it either.
