Thanks to brother Bing Tieduan for the 10,000-coin reward.
"Ah? There are many outsiders coming to our village to contract the forest?" Han Kongque said pretending to be surprised.
Zhao Youshan said: "No, those people are very ruthless. As long as there are iron walnut hills, the contracting fee for each one has been raised to more than 100,000 yuan per year.
There are more than a dozen iron walnut trees found in the village, and these are still in the periphery. If you go beyond those blisters, you don’t know how many there are in the future! Although it has not been heard of anyone discovering iron walnuts there, but those from outside
People have already begun to chase the village and ask the village to contract to them!"
"What's the village's plan?" Han Peacock asked.
Zhao Youshan said disdainfully: "Do those outsiders really think that we rural people are stupid? Before the village has found out the situation in the back mountain, it will definitely not be easily contracted out. Now many people in the village do not plan to celebrate the New Year, and now they have gathered in groups
They went into the mountains in groups. On the one hand, they wanted to prevent outsiders from illegally harvesting them. On the other hand, they wanted to find out how many iron walnut trees there were in the mountains behind, so as to maximize their profits."
Han Peacock nodded with satisfaction. This was the effect he wanted. As soon as the news spread that Han Peacock was going to package iron walnuts and put them on the market, it would immediately attract the attention of some interested people.
As long as they pay attention, the value of the iron walnuts they have here will naturally be noticed by others.
At that time, even if he wanted to monopolize it, it would not be easy. In this case, he might as well get some benefits for the elders in the village. In this way, everyone would say that he is Han Kongque Renyi.
Although he was a bit pretentious, he finally did a good thing for the village.
"Peacock, what are you doing?" Zhao Youshan asked, looking at the small net bag held by Han Peacock.
The small net pocket is made of Korean peacock gauze and steel wire. The steel wire is made into a circle, and the gauze is put in the circle to become a small copy net.
"I plan to catch some eels and loaches, but it's hard to find eels and loaches at this time," said Han Kongque.
Zhao Youshan said: "It's not easy to find, but if you really need it, I will bring someone to dig some for you. There is a small talk in front. There is a lot of mud there. If you dig it out, there will definitely be a lot of eels and loaches."
"Don't bother me. I'll just get a little. Look, there's a loach there. It's quite big!" Han Peacock said. The net in his hand was quickly submerged into the water. When he brought the net up,
, there is already a large loach 14 to 5 centimeters long in the net.
"Huh? The loaches at this time should spend the winter in the mud at the bottom of the river. How did it come up?" Zhao Youshan said strangely as he watched Han Peacock pick up a big loach so easily.
Han Peacock said with a smile: "Maybe there is a natural enemy that wants to eat it? I'm afraid it didn't expect that it escaped the enemy in the water, but was caught by me, the enemy on the shore."
Han Peacock smiled while locking another loach.
This loach is bigger than the one just now. If he hadn't looked carefully, Han Peacock would have thought it was a small eel!
This loach is twenty centimeters long, with a hint of golden lines all over its body, and a dark back. There are long tentacles on the front, and its body is two centimeters thick.
The Korean peacock stimulated the water flow at the bottom of the river, directly rolled up the loach, and sent it out of the mud.
When it entered the water, there was another undercurrent pushing it upstream to the river.
Above, Han Peacock had already set up his net and was waiting for the big loach to come into his sight. He quickly picked up the net from the water.
"Ah! There's another big loach, you're so lucky." Zhao Youshan was really surprised to see Han Peacock pick up another big loach.
Han Kongque said: "I see there is a shadow at the bottom of the river. There may be something that has penetrated into the mud. These loaches must have been disturbed by that thing and then jumped out of the water. Brother Youshan can help me keep an eye on it. Maybe there are others nearby.
The loaches will come out."
As soon as Han Kongque finished speaking, Zhao Youshan shouted: "Here, here, there are several."
Han Peacock snickered. Then he turned around and fished out these large loaches that were too frozen by the river water.
There were a lot of large loaches in this area of the river. Han Peacock quickly picked up twenty or thirty of them. Zhao Youshan was a little surprised to see so many loaches here.
Han Peacock knew not to act too much, so he finally got four large eels with a body length of half a meter, and let it go.
These four eels are considered the overlords in the surrounding rivers. They have been targeted by Korean peacocks for a long time. The reason why they are not brought up is to find an excuse for the many loaches scurrying out of the river in front of them.
When the Korean peacock collected four eels into the net with lightning speed, Zhao Youshan screamed in surprise.
Han Peacock smiled and said: "It should be these four big guys who helped me, but I have to be sorry for them."
"I really didn't expect that there are such big eels here. Maybe there are some below. No, after spring, I will come here to catch eels. The price of this thing is very expensive, especially the wild ones in the city.
The best seller, and the price is still high." Zhao Youshan looked at Han Peacock with bright eyes.
At this time, the person he admired most was his wife. If he hadn't followed his wife's advice and followed Han Peacock, he would not have known that there were so many eels and loaches in this small river.
After Han Peacock collected the eels and loaches, he didn't plan to wander around anymore. Anyway, the dark wood underground was not that easy to find. He wouldn't be able to distinguish it for a while, so he had better make a plan and take action!
With no other thoughts, Han Kongque noticed Zhao Youshan's expression. At this time, he could only smile bitterly.
Now many people in the village are watching him. It will definitely be impossible for him to do something secretive in the village in the future.
"Brother Youshan, if you want it, I'll give it to you. Whoever sees it will have a share!" Han Kongque said very generously.
Zhao Youshan quickly shook his head and said: "No, no, I can't take it. You are taking it back to replenish your brother's and wife's health. How can I take it? If I take it, I will sell it for money, so I can just wait until spring starts to fish."
Han Kongque said: "The price of eel is not low. Have you never caught it before?"
Zhao Youshan said: "It turns out that there are no fish in this river. In the past few years, they were either killed by drugs or all caught by the power grid. These should have grown again in recent years."
Han Peacock nodded and said: "The environment in the village has recovered well in recent years."
Zhao Youshan said: "There is nothing we can do about it. Who in the village doesn't know how valuable crabs and eels are? Even carp costs six or seven yuan a pound. So who of us has ever spent money to buy these things?"
But all the rivers and ditches in the village have been drugged. In those years, there was not even a grass shrimp in this river. Therefore, if the villagers wanted to eat fish, they had to go to the market to buy it. Later we also learned that we could not do this.
It was so bad that the river could be restored to this state.
However, this is not a good thing. If people know that there are eels in the river, it will definitely attract a large number of people to fish."
"Wild eels cost 40 to 50 yuan a pound, which is still very attractive, but why don't we engage in breeding in our village? I think breeding eels and loaches is very good." Han Peacock asked.
"Why is no one raising them? Maybe these eels ran away from the pond of Brother Yougong's house. His family had raised eels, but the eels were not easy to raise. They seemed to have lost their money in the end, and there will be no one in the village in the future.
No more." Zhao Youshan said.
Han Peacock smiled and said: "Then why not raise loaches? Eels are not easy to raise, but loaches are easy to raise."
"Loach? Who do you raise and sell this thing to? Our village catches loaches, chops them all up and feeds them to the ducks." Zhao Youshan said.
Korean peacock is speechless. The price of loach outside is not much lower than that of eel, and the price of some wild loach is even higher than that of eel. For example, the giant loach in Taiwan and the loach from Henan can be sold at high prices. They usually sell at high prices.
Thirty-fifty one pound is also common.
Thinking of his wife's explanation, Zhao Youshan said: "Can you make money by raising loaches?"
Han Peacock smiled and said: "A good wild loach costs thirty to fifty yuan per catty."
"Ah?" Zhao Youshan opened his mouth in surprise, not knowing what to say.
Han Peacock said with a smile: "Don't fish for eels after the New Year. It's better to clean up the ponds around the village and breed loaches! You will make a fortune after one year of raising them. I think the pond not far from your house is good and has a large area."
, close to the waterway, as long as the waterway up and down the mountain is opened and the stagnant water in the pond is turned into living water, there will be no problem at all in raising loaches."
Zhao Youshan said happily: "If we can really sell it for thirty-fifty one catty, we will really have to breed loaches."
Han Kongque said: "The price of breeding is a little cheaper. Of course, the water quality here is good. If we don't feed feed, the price can be higher. Even if we wholesale for ten yuan a pound, it is still very profitable."
Zhao Youshan said: "Ten yuan a pound is more expensive than carp. I will raise loaches next year. Thank you Peacock."
At this point, Zhao Youshan hesitated for a moment and said: "Glory contracted a lot of ponds last night. Do you want to raise loaches in your family? If so, will it affect your family if I also raise loaches?"
Han Peacock said with a smile: "It's okay. I'm breeding a kind of giant lobster. This is the first time I've raised that thing. It's hard to say what will happen now. If I succeed in breeding it, maybe Brother Shan can do it.
Follow me and switch to lobster farming.”
"That's a good relationship. I'll keep the loaches first, and then I'll change my career after your lobster breeding is successful. Also, there are many idle ponds around our village. Why don't you let Glory take over all of them?
If someone knew about the prospect of breeding loaches, they might be robbed by the villagers. Although the ponds on the mountains are large, they are hit by flash floods every year. If they want to breed them, they will need to spend a lot of money to transform them.
So the ponds around our village are better, they are easier to clean, they are close to home, and they are easier to take care of." Zhao Youshan said.
