Siheyuan: Xu Damao, I want to go to the moon

Xu Damao’s idea was very simple. It was not that he had no money, but that he could not buy things even if he had money, and the prices on the black market in the pigeon market in Sijiu City were very chaotic.

You might as well go to the countryside and find a reservoir to improve your life, just like going to a farm to go fishing.

I’ll pay you no matter how much you catch, and it’ll count as my purchase.

Of course, the reservoir now belongs to Guo Jia’s collective, but there are special management personnel and departments, and the street office or the steel rolling mill can connect with each other on a public-to-public basis.

For example, if we catch 100 kilograms of fish, we give 50 kilograms to you, the reservoir management department, and we take 50 kilograms as a reward for our hard work, is that okay?

We helped you catch the fish.

If that doesn't work, you can just spend money. It's at least fairer than the black market price, right?

If all else fails, we can barter. We can probably get some corn flour or something from Xu Damao.

In short, as long as there are fish in the reservoir, there is room for negotiation.

Eat the fish you catch on the spot, add some oil and water, and marinate the rest to take away, which will always last you a while.

I don’t think many fish will be caught, but there aren’t many people around the reservoir, much less than the fishermen in the lakes around Sijiu City.

The most critical issue is transportation.

After giving some subsidies to the masters in the factory and some money for gas, and adding up the average cost to each person, Xu Damao estimated that the price would be much lower than the black market price.

The most important thing is that there is price but no goods in the black market.

Everyone thought so and agreed, that’s fine, just treat it as a spring outing vacation.

Therefore, three-dimensional planting and weekend group fishing were arranged.

Not to mention anything else, the carpenters around Yard 95 have been extremely busy in the past week. However, being busy means income and food to eat, so they are also very happy.

他们也问了不少种过菜的老人，自家种菜最快的就是鸡毛菜25天、小白菜18天、菠菜20天、青蒜20天、大葱20天、韭菜20天、生菜25天、空心菜25天。

If conditions permit, you can also try growing some carrots or something like that. It all depends on your own situation.

If you are a little more diligent, after a month there will be no problem in having one more pot of vegetables every day. It is better than looking for wild vegetables every day, right?

However, in terms of planting techniques and experience, we still need to find some farmers to teach us, otherwise various problems will easily arise.

As for weekend farm fishing, the steel mill provided two trucks. The requirements were not high. Just fill them with gas, provide meals for the driver and bring some meat.

Xu Damao made a rough estimate and charged two yuan per person, which would be collected and managed uniformly by Director Wang to prevent him and others from handling it and changing the nature of the matter, and having to refund or make up for the shortfall.

Two yuan may seem like a lot, but you can't buy much on the black market with two yuan these days. The price of whole grains has quadrupled! What's more, you can't buy refined rice, refined flour, or pork. There's no stock!

Even the canned fish in stock are now out of stock.

So for 2 yuan, one can have a good meal and take back some salted fish. Even Yan Bugui had no objection. However, he and Yan Jiecheng were the only ones in their family who signed up, after all, the fee was calculated per person.

So on Sunday, February 60, 2, two large trucks carrying more than 7 people from two or three courtyards in Nanlu Guxiang went to Huairou Reservoir.

There is no other way. The closest one is the Niantan Reservoir in Daxing District, which was built in the 50s. At that time, the reservoir was used to irrigate farmland in the surrounding villages. The water supply mainly came from the Yongding River, but as the water volume of the river decreased, the reservoir gradually dried up. In recent years, the water shortage is the most serious. The reservoir is like a "big sand pit".

Of course it won't work there.

The famous Miyun Reservoir was too far away, so after looking around nearby, we found the Huairou Reservoir to be the most suitable.

怀柔水库于1958年3月9日开工，大坝于同年7月19日完工，他们一行人坐车跑了几个小时，差不多到了11点才到了水库边上的一个不显眼的位置。

Director Wang still has some connections. He greeted the village party secretary and the reservoir management unit here. They allowed fishing, but not to use fishing nets.

Half of what is caught will be handed over to them for confiscation, and the rest can be dealt with by Director Wang’s people on their own.

They usually don’t care if villagers come here to fish, they just patrol and pay attention to safety.

But this is the first time that the neighborhood office has organized an event with more than 50 people like Director Wang.

In the past, major factories, certain government departments, or the army would come to carry out concentrated trawling for fish. This happened several times last year. Now it is hard to tell how many fish are left in the reservoir.

Director Wang’s group of people was not too many, but not too few either. They all wanted to get some meat to eat during the famine, so the reservoir management unit did not stop them.

20 people started looking for a place to fish, another 20 people went to the surrounding woods to look for wild vegetables, mushrooms and so on, He Daqing, Sha Zhu and a few others were building a stove to prepare for cooking, and a few others were patrolling around to be on the lookout for safety issues.

Everything is in order.

Xu Damao cannot provide unlimited food and meat at this time, otherwise something big will happen.

But, he had no problem getting some good bait.

Sesame oil, red worms, cornmeal, white wine, and some crushed water plants. Xu Damao also added some leftover chicken soup and chicken bones from his family.

Finally, Xu Damao even added a bottle of HP potion in it...

The total amount of bait is about 10 kilograms. This is the maximum amount Xu Damao can provide. That is 1 point of HP potion!

Then, while everyone was in disbelief and cursing him as a prodigal son, Xu Damao sprinkled two handfuls of "Xu's secret fish feed" into the reservoir.

Then, the water began to boil!

"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!" Even the experienced fisherman Yan Bugui was stunned. Why are there so many fish? !

He had just been fishing for half an hour using red worms as bait, but there was not a single hair!

At that time, Xu Damao was grunting as he prepared the bait. Seeing him using cornmeal, white wine and sesame oil, everyone said that he didn't know how to live.

How can you get such a good thing for fishing?

Besides, earthworms should be used for fishing.

Xu Damao only said: "This is the secret fish feed of our Xu family. Besides, don't you know that you need to make a nest when fishing?"

And the current situation has convinced everyone.

Everyone went to Xu Damao to grab a handful of bait, then pinched it into small balls and put it on the fishhook, and then started fishing.

Xu Damao wandered around, using his super eyesight to see where there were fish. He would scatter a handful of bait where there were fish, and then people would sit over and fish.

Everyone was surprised to find that the bait made by Xu Damao was not only super attractive to fish, but also very effective in nesting. What’s even more incredible is that he can directly find where the fish are!

Then in less than an hour, the 20 people caught more than 50 fish. Yan Bugui, in particular, was extremely lucky and caught a half-meter-long fish weighing more than ten kilograms!

At this time, the women who were digging wild vegetables and mushrooms also came back.
