Chapter 171: The Idea of Rice Farming
The rain did not stop until the ninth day of the first month, when the sun peeked out of the clouds, and the people were so happy that they took out the damp quilts and clothes in the house to dry.
At this time, Chen Dongfang and Qiao Yibing wanted to organize a meeting of the brigade headquarters and make a production plan this year.
Compared with blindly planting, purposeful planning, and finding a good market in advance, you won't have to worry about not making money, they all tasted the sweetness last year, and the most profitable one is really a side hustle!
The year is not over yet, so it is natural to drink at the meeting, and everyone brings a plate of dishes and chats while eating.
Qiao's father brought a bowl of dried squid stewed mustard greens, and the others brought mostly scrambled eggs, as well as oily greens and the like, after all, no one wanted to lose face in front of others.
After eating and drinking, Chen Dongfang finally brought up the topic, "Do you have any opinions on this year's production tasks? In addition to raising pigs, chickens, and rabbits, do you have any other better ideas?"
"The most important thing this year is nothing else, and after the wheat is harvested, it is necessary to catch up with the early rice planting. Qiao Yibing frowned and said, this wheat made everyone's hearts unsteady.
The fertilizer that has been accumulated for a winter was originally intended to be used as base fertilizer for early rice, but now it is all used in wheat, so what should I do with early rice?
"It should be able to catch up, but I'm afraid that people and cattle will be tired. "It's strange if you don't take off a layer of skin, and those who are physically weak may not be able to survive this busy work.
"I'm not always so sure-footed in my heart. Qiao Yisheng touched his chest and said, where is this wheat so easy to grow, they are in the high mountain area, and they have no advantage over the brigade under the mountain.
The others nodded.
"If we can't catch up, then the other brigades may not be able to catch up, anyway, it depends on the situation at that time. "Father Qiao thinks that this is the same as a double robbery, and he can complete the task.
"In the new year, I think the pig farm should continue to expand, after all, we are very short of fertilizer. Mushroom sheds, chicken sheds, rabbits, and other things that can be expanded will be expanded, and those that cannot be expanded will remain the same. In this way, at least we can guarantee that we will have the same income as last year. ”
"When the year comes, the canals and ditches will have to be repaired, and if there is no water in the fields, how will we plant rice then?"
Qiao Xiangqian said worriedly: "I am still not sure in my heart, I have been abandoned for a winter, the paddy fields need to be soaked in water, and the ridges of the fields need to be repaired, if these things are done after the wheat harvest, where is the time?"
Everyone was silent for a while, spring ploughing is not better than summer planting, there are indeed more things to do in the early stage, now there is wheat in the field, these jobs can not be done, if they are squeezed together, the quality can be imagined.
"There's no way around it, so I have to work overtime. ”
This fact makes everyone's eating and drinking ** a little weaker.
After a while, Qiao's father spoke again, "I have an idea these days, which is to raise grass carp or loaches in the rice fields. ”
In fact, ducks can also be raised in the rice field, but it is more difficult for this brother to implement, so he simply didn't mention it.
The ecological model that Qiao's father wanted to talk about was very unfamiliar to the people present, and after being surprised, they all objected.
"Are you drinking too much wine and talking big, how can you raise fish in this rice field?"
"If you raise fish, can the rice still grow?"
"If you raise fish in the field, you won't be able to run out of fish, and your efforts will be in vain. ”
"Even if you want to raise fish, you have to have fry! Where can you find so many fry?"
There was a lot of discussion among the people, and they all thought that raising fish in the rice fields was whimsical.
Father Qiao listened to these words, did not say a word, and only drank in silence.
Qiao Gao snorted lightly, "I don't think it's going to fail." Zhengyu must be certain that he can come up with this idea, so why not try it?"
Look at the other three teams now, which one is not following the ass of the fourth team to make money? Why can the four teams walk in front, they are all led by Qiao Zhengyu!
The brains of others, which one of you here can compare!
Now Qiao's father is willing to hand over the method of raising fish in the rice field, these people don't hurry up to ask how to raise it, what is the success rate, but they question it over there, are they stupid?
Do you have to wait for the members of the fourth team to eat and drink spicy food there, and they will regret not following the study in the first place?
As soon as the others heard Qiao Gaotie's words, they instantly quieted down, Qiao's father really had no reason to lie to them by saying this.
"Raise fish, can we keep this fish for ourselves to eat in the future?" Qiao Zhenghuo snorted, fish meat is also meat!
The others fell silent, feeling that this was indeed something to consider.
"Our alpine brigade has no reservoir or lake, and if we build one, it will be too labor-intensive and material-intensive, and it is not as affordable as rice and fish farming. ”
In fact, there is another way, that is, to turn the low-lying rice fields into ponds, connect the ponds, and plant lotus roots to raise fish.
However, don't think about the change of rice fields into ponds, moving food is equivalent to moving the lifeblood of the members, which is against everyone.
"Can you guarantee that fish farming in this rice field will be successful? What do the fish eat? Will the rice yield be reduced?" asked Chen Dongfang.
What can this rice field fish farming bring to everyone, and whether it will have a negative impact on rice, this is the root of the problem.
After all, people have a sense of rejection of unfamiliar things, and if it can be proved that rice and fish farming is beneficial and harmless, without the mobilization of the brigade headquarters, the members will be very active in doing it.
Father Qiao glanced at Chen Dongfang, and he asked the root of the question.
"Fish farming in paddy fields will not only not lead to a decrease in rice yields, but on the contrary, there will be a small increase in yields. ”
"If you think about it, fish can't live without water, they can't harm rice, they can't eat insects, weeds, rice flowers, and so on. And the manure pulled out by the fish is equivalent to fertilizing the rice. After cutting the rice, you can catch fish without delay, isn't it very affordable?"
"If it's really as good as you say, let's split up two fields in three teams and try it. Qiao Zhenghuo licked his tongue, anyway, just put some fish fry, and there is no need to take care of it, if you succeed, you will have fish to eat, and if you fail, you won't lose much.
Qiao Tie glanced at Qiao Zhenghuo, and was surprised that he was so active today.
As everyone knows, Qiao Zhenghuo loves fish very much, but there is no place to buy it, and the little fish and shrimp caught in the creek are not enough to stuff the gaps between his teeth!
So it's really surprising that he's so aggressive, because any way that the previous four teams came up with to make money, the three teams dragged it to the end.
"I can contact people if you want to raise the fry. When the year comes, I will talk about fish farming in the rice field, and I will personally pay the money for the fish fry first, and when there is production in the field, you can pay me back. ”
"What if it fails, will you ask us for money?" Qiao Zhenghuo asked, stretching his neck, thinking happily in his heart.
You don't have to spend a penny to get the fry, and when the fish grows up, you can sell it and pay it back, it doesn't seem to be much, it's quite cost-effective.
"If it fails, you don't have to pay me back the money for this fry. However, I would like to state in advance that it is not counted if the fish are run away due to improper management. ”
"We need to think about it. Qiao Yisheng and Qiao glanced forward at each other, but did not respond immediately.
Father Qiao said it so nicely, who knows how, they still asked the old man first and then said.
