hunter's daughter-in-law

After a few days, the condition of the wolfdog gradually improved, which meant that it was out of danger. Zhang Jin, who had been worrying about him all the time, was relieved.However, the wolfdog is currently unable to move, so it can only temporarily stay in the den that Yuan Hong prepared for it.

Zhang Jin would give it something to eat regularly every day, but every time it was fed, the wolfdog would growl at him threateningly.But it couldn't move and couldn't hurt Zhang Jin. Because of this, Yuan Hong let Zhang Jin feed it with confidence.

After listening to Zhang Jin's narration that day, Yuan Hong really put it into action.

On the one hand, he trusts Zhang Jin, and at the same time, he also feels that fish farming in rice fields does have its feasibility.On the other hand, if it succeeds, it will mean a lot...

The next day, he went to the village head's house and bought three acres of land.

Zhang Jin said that she wanted to grow wheat, but it was spring, and their place was suitable for growing winter wheat.So he discussed with Zhang Jin to plant rice first, and then plant wheat when the season is right. Fortunately, the rice planting season has not yet passed.

Zhang Jin carefully explained to Yuan Hong the methods he learned in later generations, and drew him a design drawing of a rice field.

To raise fish in rice fields, first of all, the paddy fields must be selected well, and the water source must be sufficient, the water quality is good and pollution-free, and the irrigation and drainage are convenient.The next step is to strengthen and heighten the ridges, set up fishhooks and fish pits, make fish fences, disinfect with quicklime, and so on.It looks simple, but it takes a lot of effort to do it.

Yuan Hong deliberately went to a village specializing in fish farming and bought good fish fry and put them in. Two acres of the three-acre field were raised for grass carp and one for crabs.

Thinking of the plump and spicy hairy crabs, Zhang Jin salivated and asked Yuan Hong to set aside an acre of land to raise them.

People in the village heard that Yuan Hong was going to raise fish and crabs in the fields, and they all came to visit and watch the fun.Everyone thought he was crazy, to come up with this method to ruin himself, waste the fields, and even waste food!Some villagers headed by the village chief persuaded Yuan Hong to let him farm steadily.

"Yuan Hong, I've never heard of raising fish and crabs in the fields. It's just unbelievable. Don't be obsessed with it!" The village head persuaded loudly.

"Yeah, Yuanhong," a respectable old man in the village interjected, "The things passed down by the ancestors are true. I have never heard that you can raise fish in the field, let alone raise crabs! The crab's big claws will surely Cut off all the seedlings! How could they be put together! You better stop!"

"It didn't work before, but it doesn't mean it can't be done. You can only know the result after you practice it." Yuan Hong insisted.

One of the watching crowd came out and said angrily: "Do you know what a three-acre field means to ordinary people? It's a whole year's income! If a season of rice is delayed, how much food will be lost!"

Yuan Hong knew that they had good intentions, but he would not give up, "What if it succeeds? In that case, I don't need to say what it will bring, everyone knows."

Yuan Hong looked at the people around him, some were sincerely looking out for him, some were watching the fun, and some were waiting for a good show.He believed in Zhang Jin, and this was definitely not a casual joke.

"You're right. Most ordinary people's families are poor, especially farmers who rely on farming for a living. Because of this, if fish and crab farming can be successful, it can change the lives of some people..." Yuan Hong is not so great. He experimented with raising fish in rice fields for the benefit of the people.It's just that most people are questioning him now. If his actions can't convince everyone, then his family's land may be confiscated by the government after the villagers jointly sign a letter and sue the government.

There is just such a law in this world.

It probably means that if someone owns a field but neglects it or wastes it wantonly, the government has the right to confiscate the land.

This decree was promulgated by the first emperor of the dynasty. At that time, the war had just subsided, the people were in dire straits, and most people could not get enough to eat. The emperor promulgated this decree to solve the emptiness of the grain depot and to prevent the nobles from enclosing a large number of lands. , has been implemented for a hundred years, even though the grain depot is now full, it has not been abolished.

The village chief pondered for a long time, and seeing Yuan Hong was very firm, his resistance gradually subsided.If, as Yuan Hong said, if it succeeds, it will be of great significance to their village and even to this country!

"Okay. You've made your decision, and we won't stop you anymore. I hope you can succeed." Even though he said this, the village chief didn't think there was a possibility of success, but he still had some hope.

The village head had a high prestige in the village, and the others didn't have any objections when they saw the village head, so they didn't say anything, and everyone left one after another.

"Cut! What a fantastic idea! If it is possible, the sows will climb the tree! Who said that Yuan Hong's madness is cured? I think he is not only crazy, but also has brain problems!"

A Laizi in the village said after retreating with everyone, but he didn't dare to say it in front of Yuan Hong, but only spoke at a certain distance.

Those around him laughed in agreement.

Yuan Hong was so far away that he couldn't hear what he was saying clearly.

However, Zhang Jin hesitated a little.

The reason is that Nanny Zhang came to the mountain that day and told Zhang Jin about it.Let him persuade Yuan Hong to let him go.

Zhang Jin didn't expect that just setting up a rice field to raise fish would cause such a big commotion.In particular, Nanny Zhang told him that if Yuan Hong failed this time, if a bad-hearted person publicized this matter, it would be very harmful to Yuan Hong's reputation, and even worse, even the government could intervene .

Zhang Jin didn't expect this to happen again, and couldn't help feeling a little nervous.Although he knows the whole process and steps, it doesn't necessarily guarantee success. What's more, Yuan Hong just listened to his narration and didn't personally participate in it, so the probability of failure is even greater.

Because of his words, Yuan Hong is now being watched by everyone as a joke, and it may even have a great impact on him, such as staining his reputation!

Thinking of this, Zhang Jin inevitably hesitated. Although he could not guarantee success, he also believed that the possibility of failure was not high, and he was still confident.However, if Yuan Hong was to bet on it, he would rather not.

"You must persuade Yuan Hong not to let him take risks. So many wise ancestors have never discovered that rice fields can raise fish, which means that this matter will most likely not be possible," Zhang Nanny said.

"But it's true! I've seen it with my own eyes!" Everyone refused to believe it, even Zhang Momo said so, Zhang Jin couldn't help but refute.

"Okay, then tell me where you met? Don't you remember everything?"

"I..." Zhang Jin had nothing to say.

"Son, for your own good, you'd better persuade Yuan Hong."

Zhang Jin finally nodded.

When Yuan Hong came back, he saw Zhang Jin sitting on the rattan chair in the yard sullenly. He walked over and took him into his arms, and asked softly, "What's wrong? Why are you unhappy?"

Zhang Jin buried her face in his arms, and said sullenly, "We still don't want to raise fish and crabs."

"Why do you say that?" Yuan Hong raised his face, "Don't you want to eat crabs? And you also said that it is feasible to raise fish and crabs in rice fields."

"But... I can't guarantee success. Mother Zhang told me today that many people are laughing at you. If you fail, it will have a great impact on your reputation. All of this is my idea , shouldn’t let you bear the burden, let’s forget it..."

Yuan Hong smiled slightly, "My reputation is already bad and I don't care if it is worse. Besides, I believe in you. No matter what others think, we just do what we want to do. You should have confidence in me."

After carefully listening to Yuan Hong's words, Zhang Jin thought about it, and finally dispelled the hesitation and worry in her heart.In case of failure, he must bear it together with Yuan Hong, and never let him suffer alone!

Also, this was originally proposed by him, but he didn't have the guts to do it.How do you know it won't work before you try?And with modern experience as the basis, plus he has done research on purpose, what are you afraid of!Could it be that he didn't believe Yuan Hong?

"Okay, let's do our own." Zhang Jin made up her mind.

After all the things in the field were done, Yuan Hong would go to the field to have a look every day, and sometimes Zhang Jin would ask Yuan Hong to take him over to have a look without worrying.If nothing else, success should be no problem.

However, Yuan Hong is considered famous, and almost the entire Ping'an Town knows Yuan Hong.

But most people take it as a joke, because the matter of raising fish in rice fields has never happened since ancient times, and it can be described as unimaginable in the eyes of some people. Gradually, it is regarded as a joke after dinner.

When the two went to "Xiao Zhai", the shop assistants looked at them a little strangely.

Zhang Jin was helpless, probably even Lou Xiao and Li Mingyin knew about it.But the two of them didn't care too much, let them go whatever they thought outside.

"You really did that?!" Lou Xiao asked in a little surprise.

"Well, do you also think it's impossible?" Zhang Jin replied.

"Not really." Lou Xiao rubbed his belly and restored his original expression, "It takes a lot of courage to be the first person to eat crabs. Success or not is the second. Your daring is my Lou." What Xiao admires the most is that he usually underestimates you!"

Afterwards, Lou Xiao asked the two about the details of raising fish in the rice fields, but did not go too deep.

Zhang Jin knew that Lou Xiao respected their skills, so he liked Lou Xiao even more.

Since the last time I bought the recipe for strawberry jam, Li Mingyin would occasionally discuss cooking with Zhang Jin. Zhang Jin gained a lot of experience in making dim sum from him, and admired Li Mingyin even more.After getting the recipe of strawberry jam, he learned from one instance and developed several other types of jams, and even made improvements to strawberry jam. He is really a master in this field!
