Farmhouse Senda

Chapter 31 Digging a pond to raise eels
Hearing the blind date, Li Qingyun suddenly had a headache.It's only been a few days since he was single, and his parents started to propose marriage for him. It was too urgent, and he didn't have the heart to think about it now.

"Forget it, now I have nothing to do, and I can't even stand up to find a daughter-in-law. Or, wait for two years after I get rich, and then talk about my daughter-in-law?" Li Qingyun put down his luggage and wanted to slip out.

"When you get rich, our hair is gray, what grandson are we still holding? Even if I want to, I can't hold it." Chen Xiuzhi grabbed Li Qingyun's ear and pulled him back.

When the plan failed, Li Qingyun hurriedly changed his strategy and shouted: "Oh, mom, be gentle. With your strength, you won't be too old in 20 years. By the way, I brought something for you two in the bag. Very good, quickly open it and try it."

Of course Chen Xiuzhi wasn't fooled, and only let Li Qingyun agree to a blind date.But his father was not so impatient. He intentionally helped Li Qingyun, opened his luggage, and saw the special vegetables inside.

Father Li suddenly said in surprise: "Huh? We can't finish all the vegetables we grow, why do you bring vegetables home? Isn't this tomato too big? And this cucumber, the smell is too strong, isn't it a potion? ?"

Li Qingyun hurriedly said: "How can you, this is a real green vegetable, cultivated with special technology. I went to the city this time and met my former college classmates. This is a new variety cultivated by their research institute. , and there is also a set of special planting methods. After I said all the good things, I learned a little from my friends. I will try it at home in a few days. Our family's way of making money depends on them. "

Mother Li was really attracted, let go of Li Qingyun, picked up a tomato and said, "New high-tech variety? How does it taste? Don't be like the variety that was promoted in the town before, looking strangely big but eating like foam, No taste at all."

"You two can taste it, and you won't forget it!" Li Qingyun, like a super salesman on TV, exaggeratedly invited his parents to taste it.

In my own home, no one was polite. After a simple scrubbing, the two elders tasted cucumbers and tomatoes respectively, and they were pleasantly surprised. They were the same as those who tasted space vegetables for the first time, and exclaimed that they were delicious.

"Yao'er, this thing is good. If we plant it, we must give your friend a red envelope to thank him." After the mother finished eating, she was refreshed, and a fragrance emerged from the depths of her body, as if her pores were open. Open, there is an indescribable benefit.

"Head to head, this tastes so good! I'll give you the vegetable and melon fields in the south. If you need money to buy fertilizers and pesticides, tell Dad directly, Dad will buy it for you in town, you You just need to study the technology and grasp the overall situation." My father also agreed, and was conquered by these vegetables.

"Haha, then I'm welcome. I haven't eaten in the morning, so just use these vegetables and give me a whole meal." Li Qingyun was very happy to change the topic of blind date and begged his mother to cook.

Li's mother was also excited, she promised again and again, went into the kitchen, and made a few side dishes for her son in a short while.Dried beans, green pepper eggs, cucumber salad, tomato and egg soup.Although it was not the first time that Li Qingyun had eaten cooked vegetables grown in his own space, he almost bit his tongue off. Together with his parents, he wiped out all the dishes in front of him like a storm.

The gold coins and copper coins smelled the fragrance, and they tore Li Qingyun's trouser legs desperately, wanting to beg some vegetables to eat.It's a pity that Li Qingyun ignored them. These two second-hand goods, their stomachs have long been eaten, and if they eat them again, they may burst.

After the meal, Li Qingyun and his father went to the Nandi Pond together. At the corner of the pond, they cleaned up a piece of land and used a pick to repair it. It was considered a new pond.Bring in the water from the fish pond, add water plants, and prepare to raise eels here.

Li's father was fooled by Li Qingyun's high-end technology. He said that when he entered the city this time, he not only learned the high-end technology of planting vegetables, but also learned several fish-raising techniques.The small pond developed this time is for the practice of breeding eels.

"Yo'er, this small pond is only [-] to [-] square meters, and it has just been opened up. Can you raise eels? If you really want to raise it, I will clean up the big pond in the field and give you a toss. Is it possible?" Father Li Looking at the results of this day's labor, I shook my head in worry, feeling a little unreliable.

Eel is notorious for dying and getting sick. Although the economic benefits are high, the risks are also great. Many successful aquaculture farmers are afraid to set foot in the field of eel farming.Therefore, eel is a rare species in the market, and the wholesale price has always been high.

Li Qingyun is very confident in the efficacy of spring water in his own space. Regarding his father's worries, he persuaded him: "Dad, don't worry, this pond is just a test technology. I contacted an aquatic product company in the morning and asked them to send more than 100 catties of eel seedlings." If we can succeed, we will expand the scope of breeding, if not, there will be no big losses.”

"Do you want to put more than 100 catties of eels in this small pond? This will cost more than 2000 yuan... Hey, tsk, don't waste your money. According to me, putting in [-] catties of eels is too much." Father Li shook his head when he heard Li Qingyun's words, and became more worried.

"Haha, otherwise what is a new technology." Li Qingyun disagreed, in the name of high-tech, he can do a lot of things.

When it was getting dark, the talents of the county aquatic products company brought eel fish.Li Qingyun glanced at the eel in the temporary pool made of plastic paper on the tricycle, and shook his head.The quality of this batch of eel is really not good, especially after transporting such a long mountain road, many eel fry have been shaking their stomachs.If there is no space for spring water, Li Qingyun will never receive this batch of fry.

"Hehe, there are a lot of luck, and the number of dead ones is definitely enough. If you don't believe me, we can call it now." The man who delivered the fry was in his 30s, with a small beard and messy hair. The owner of a small aquatic product company is also an employee who specializes in delivery.

The local eel fry are relatively expensive, at 24 yuan per catty, which is considered very expensive at the local wage level.At least, Li Qingyun's father asked to be weighed on the spot.

In this way, the speed of putting it in the pool is a little slow. People in the village pass by here, and many people stop to watch the hot spots, point and point, talk and laugh, and say anything.

"Brother Chengwen, does your family also engage in professional farming?" A person with a good relationship, standing on the side of the road, asked curiously.

"Ha, what's wrong with raising rice field eels? I thought of raising eels. I'm not afraid of death. I'm not bragging. If you can raise them, I'll eat some raw ones for you on the spot!" The man with a bad tone was called Hongqi, 20 An older youth, who works odd jobs in the town, does not have a good relationship with Li Qingyun's family.

Li Qingyun glanced at him and ignored him. When he was in school, he did not care less about him.However, after this guy went out to learn boxing for a few years, Li Qingyun couldn't beat him a bit, so he has been arrogant in recent years, stimulating Li Qingyun, wanting to pick things up and avenge his revenge.

The old man in the village couldn't see it anymore, and reprimanded: "Well, the grandson of the turtle, Hongqi, Chengwen's family has provoked you, you don't speak human words all day! That little daughter-in-law that I just bought will be abducted by other men, and you will cry."

"Haha, as I said, maybe someone has been kidnapped, and the green hat has already been put on the red flag!"

"You old immortals, I'm telling the truth, some kind-hearted people are treated as donkey livers and lungs! You wait and see, he will regret it later." After speaking, Hongqi hurriedly escaped from the crowd watching the fun, riding a broken Bicycle rushing home.

Li Qingyun smiled and greeted a few old people and said a few polite words. At this time, all the eel fry brought by the aquatic company were weighed and put into the crowded small pool.The actual weight is more than ten kilograms different from the stated weight. The original order was 120 kilograms, but now the number of living ones is only a few hundred kilograms, and the dead ones are not enough to count.

The delivery person was a little embarrassed, and explained: "Maybe it was spilled on the road, this is our first time doing business, so let's just count your [-] kilograms as a whole number, a few extra kilograms are a bonus, just make friends. already."

This delivery person is not stupid. Qinglong Town is a well-known and sturdy area in the county. It is located on the border and has a complex ethnic composition. If they do something in their village, they may not even be able to get out of the village.

A few kilograms is a hundred and ten yuan. Li's father is very happy, and Li Qingyun understands the mentality of the delivery person, and he doesn't break it. He thanked him, paid the money, and let him leave.

After putting the eel fish into the small pool, we need to add grass immediately, and the water weeds put in at the beginning is seriously insufficient.When fishing for aquatic plants, Li Qingyun secretly added a lot of spatial spring water, which made the listless eel fish immediately refreshed and had a bit of vitality.

However, this newly developed pool was too small, and the eel fry were so dense that Li Qingyun couldn't stand it.Li Qingyun had never raised eels before, how could he have thought that the gap was so big, so he smiled awkwardly and said to his father, "How about we open up a depression tomorrow?"

The ponds on this land belong to Li Qingyun's family. Between the pond and the road is a small forest of fruit trees. There are many potholes and depressions. As long as it is opened up a little, it will lead to a new pond.

"That's the only way! However, I'm worried that the eel fry here won't last until tomorrow, and they will die of lack of oxygen." Li's father was also frowning at this time, and suggested, "Otherwise, let's get half of it first. into the big pond?"

If you want to put it in a large pond, it is completely stocked, that is, it is pure wild. There is no cage in such a large pond, and it is powerless to manage it.

The father and son, who had no professional farming experience, thought it would be a good idea to temporarily move to a large pond, so they were busy using a net bag to put fish fry in the large pond.

The people in the village can't stand it anymore, and they still raise eels at this amateur level?Maybe Hongqi is right, if you can raise it successfully, you can eat a few raw in front of your face!So they laughed and joked with Li Qingyun and his son, and went home for dinner.

The Er Lengzi in the village did not leave, but walked slowly to the small pond and said, "Uncle Qingyun, I will help you get the fish. The melons from your family are ripe, just give me a taste. If you don't want too much, I will eat them. Seventy or eighty!"

As he spoke, he was still counting his fingers, as if hesitating, not knowing how many melons he should ask for.
