Chapter 99: I can’t bear flowers
An Zhixia nodded with a smile and handed over the results of last night, "Actually, I don't know much. I'm just interested in this ancient method of growing rice and raising fish, so I memorized it by rote. How does it work? , I believe my uncles are more experienced than me, you are quite experienced in the field!"
"That's different. You've learned a lot, and you might be able to see the underlying problem. There's another saying, it's said that those who are confused by the authorities can only be seen clearly." The village chief took the three pages of densely written paper and solemnly followed The village party secretary read it word by word.
“Our team has decided to hire you as a fish farming expert. If this plan is successful, we are willing to give you the fish for the first three years for free as our expert fee!”
An Zhixia raised her eyebrows after hearing this, and said with a smile after thinking: "Let's do this. I will provide the fry for the first year. After harvesting, I will take 50% of the profits as expert fees. Starting from the second year, the factory will officially purchase the fish." "Paddy fish," she knows human nature very well. When she contributes, others think well of her. Once her value is used up, everyone will selectively forget about her, and even attack her together when public opinion is one-sided.
In this case, she might as well get the actual profit from the beginning, the way a businessman does, and do a one-time sale. No matter how good a reputation is, getting real money can make people feel at ease and reasonable.
"Okay," the village chief thought for a while and said, "if, if the rice field fish succeeds, then when there are quotas for workers, peasants and soldiers in the village, we will give priority to you brothers and sisters! Every year, you will also be counted towards your full work points, and we will give you food and money. Meat!"
An Zhixia pursed her lips and smiled. The workers, peasants and soldiers are good. In the past few years when there was no news about the resumption of the college entrance examination, many people may have fought for this spot. But when the college entrance examination resumes, the workers, peasants and soldiers will not be as good as the serious ones. Students admitted to university full-time are highly competitive. She and her brother are not too old, and they will only be twenty-three in 1977, so they can afford to wait.
Work points are just a bonus, the more important thing is to make everyone remember her contribution every year.
As soon as the matter was finalized, the village chief and his team began to convene a meeting with experienced veterans and smart young people in the village who had read books. An Zhixia was also invited to attend the meeting, as well as several educated youths from the educated youth spot.
Led by the village chief and village party secretary, we learned in detail how to raise fish in rice fields, and made slight improvements based on the current situation in Hetang Village. Everyone actively participated in it and spent a whole day finally completing every detail of the entire rice field and fish farming.
Seeing that it was still dark, they directly called on the big guys who had rested all day to work. Some people dug fish ditches and fish pits at suitable locations, while others went to the ground to start farmland construction. They used the lower hard soil from the fish trenches to heighten, widen, and reinforce the ridges around the fish farming rice fields.
Because they have not transplanted rice seedlings, they are not subject to many restrictions.
Everyone knows that they need to use rice fields to raise fish to increase rice income. In addition, there are fat rice field fish to eat. They are very motivated to work, and every move of the shovel and **** is full of energy.
An Zhixia was about to go to the commune to see if there was anywhere selling fish fry. As soon as he got on the bike, he was grabbed by someone.
“Brother Yuan?” She turned her head and looked at the person in surprise.
Fang Yuan was wearing a half-worn light gray shirt, most of which was wet with sweat from working, revealing his strong and beautiful skin. The sweat beads on his forehead reflected the setting sun. His facial features are deep and resolute, and he looks like a tough guy. He is the type that An Zhixia can't resist the most.
Just glanced at him, and An Zhixia's eyes had no place to focus.
"Is the commune going to get off work soon?" Fang Yuan let go of his hand, took off the towel from his shoulders, and wiped his face and head randomly, "Are you going to contact Yu Fiao?"
An Zhixia felt happy, "Brother Yuan knows the way?"
"When I sell game, I know a few people who can help me inquire," Fang Yuan nodded and said, "What kind of fish do you want? If it is rice field fish, grass carp is the best, but the type of fish should not be too single, and it should be better matched. Carp, crucian carp?”
An Zhixia clapped her fingers and said: "Actually, fish farming in rice fields is just a general term. Shrimps, crabs, and loaches can also be stocked. However, fish is still the mainstream. Breeding shrimp and crabs is laborious and has many natural enemies, so I want to raise some fish at the same time. The size of loaches is 200 to 240 per kilogram, and the stocking volume per mu is about 20,000. Grass carp accounts for 70%, carp and crucian carp account for 20%, silver carp and bighead carp account for 10%, and the number is 1,500 per mu.”
Fang Yuan silently remembered it in his mind, and then repeated it completely after she finished speaking.
“Yes, Brother Yuan can help me find out how much it costs, and I’ll take it with me to see if the fish fry and loach fry are good.”
"Okay, I'll give you news the day after tomorrow," he said, then went to the village chief to say a few words, then went back to the cowshed to take a shower and change clothes.
An Zhixia went home and compiled the precautions and methods for raising loaches in rice fields and sent them to the village chief.
Because rice field fish farming is also a project related to the factory, An Zhixia wore a straw hat, rolled up his trouser legs, held paper and pen in his hand, and compared data everywhere.
Fang Yuan has a lot of wild things in his hands and frequents the black market, so he has a wide network of contacts, which almost proves the saying that money can make the world go round. There is a huge demand for fish fry and loach fry in Hetang Village, so the price offered by the other party is quite fair. Fish fry are 50 cents per kilogram, regardless of species, and loach fry are one kilogram. They are fresh and live, and are guaranteed to be 90% the previous month. Five survival rates.
An Zhixia was silent for a moment and began to calculate in his head. He found that his family's money mainly came from three parts, more than three thousand from home, two thousand from the village party secretary, and one from those two bastards. The stolen money amounted to more than 1,100 yuan, excluding daily expenses and money to buy bicycles, which was only 6,000 yuan in total.
Hetang Village has more than 50 households, 800 people, and more than 2,000 acres of paddy fields. However, the conditions of the paddy fields are also different, such as flatness, water retention capacity, fertility, mechanical tillage roads, irrigation and drainage, etc. So not every field is suitable for fish farming.
Coupled with the implementation in the first year of this year, fish ditches and fish pits are dug now, so we can only clear out 500 acres of land quickly and slowly. Eighty kilograms of loach per acre is worth eighty yuan. Thirty kilograms of fish fry per acre, which is fifteen yuan.
She planned to use 10% of the land to raise loaches, so there was still a shortfall of 5,000 yuan.
Isn’t it said that money in this era is particularly durable?
It is a pity that the current crackdown on speculation does not allow her to use her actions in her own name. Fortunately, she put her name in the factory and stipulated that 10% of the factory's profits should be given to workers as performance bonuses. She provides advice to the factory and gets 10% of the 10%. A few hundred yuan a month is a high salary in Kyoto. It's just that water from afar can't quench our thirst!
"Not enough money?" Fang Yuan asked directly, "I still have several thousand yuan here, you can use it first."
