Regarding Xu Fang's desire to breed crayfish, Baimei is naturally very supportive.

Seeing that Bai Mei had no opinion, Xu Fang rode an electric car towards the river and began to check a suitable breeding place in his heart.

There are many ponds in the west of the village, and many places are very good, Xu Fang looked at it for a long time, and quickly found a place.

There are several long ponds in this place, covering an area of about 50 or 60 meters, about 20 meters long, and about 6 meters wide. Moreover, the ponds here are not deep, as long as you plan them well, you can plan these ponds neatly.

Probably chose a place, and Xu conveniently rode home.

After arriving home, Xu Fang looked at Bai Mei and said, "Sister Mei, when the villagers come to weigh later, you can ask the third sister-in-law for a favor and record it together, and I will go to the town to see what procedures are needed to contract the pond." ”

"Okay, what time will you be back?"

"It's 1:10 o'clock, and it's half past one in town, and the people over there are almost at work. You have to be four o'clock after weighing, I will come back before four o'clock, and make an appointment with the driver for a car at half past four, and I will send the snails to the city at half past four. Xu Fang confessed, and suddenly said: "By the way, Sister Mei, I have to give me your ID card, I don't have this thing, if I can use it, I have to use yours." ”

"Cheng, I'll find it for you. Bai Mei walked into the house and took out her ID card and handed it to Xu Fang.

After Xu Fang put his ID card in his pocket, he pedaled his tricycle towards the town.

Back in the town, Xu Fang found the town government, inquired with the staff inside, and learned about the person in charge of land contracting in Xiushui Village.

The person in charge is called Chen Lifen, a middle-aged woman about forty years old.

Listening to Xu Fang's explanation, Chen Lifen said with a smile: "Xiushui Village is a poor village, the breeding projects are all supported, and the price is cheap, how many acres of land do you want to contract? How many years of contracting?

"It doesn't occupy farmland, it's all natural ponds, and I'll just need to renovate it a little when the time comes. Over there, I think there is 50 acres of land that is not bad, and I want to contract it, and the contract is temporarily set for ten years. Xu Fang said the price.

"Fifty acres, that's a lot. Chen Lifen looked at Xu Fang in surprise and said, "You have a government subsidy, and an average of one acre of land will be counted as one hundred and fifty a year for you, do you think it?"

Xu Fang didn't have any opinion on this, and immediately nodded quickly and said, "Cheng, thank you, Sister Chen." ”

"I have to go to your village to have a look, if it's really okay, you sign an agreement, and we'll go through the process and we'll be done." Chen Lifen smiled.

"Then when will Sister Chen be free?" asked Xu Fangxiyi.

"Are you free today? I'm fine this afternoon. ”

"I'm free now!" Xu Fang nodded immediately.

"Then let's go over now, I'll call someone more, and let's go together." Chen Lifen was really idle, so she immediately packed up her things, called an assistant, and drove towards Xiushui Village.

Xu Fang did not follow the car, but rode back to the village on a tricycle first.

When Chen Lifen arrived with the people, Xu Yi got into the car of the two of them, and showed the way to the west of the village.

"Sister Chen, look at this pond all the way to the west, I want to contract these places. Sitting in the car, Xu Fang pointed to the place outside the car window and said.

Following the direction Xu Fang pointed, Bai Mei also looked at the pond here, which was some distance from the village, and would not affect the place where the villagers lived, and there was no farmland in it, which was completely in line with the standard, and immediately nodded: "You can pick places, these places are no problem, they can be contracted to you." The exact size of these places will have to wait for me to find someone to measure. ”

Xu Fang took advantage of the fact that the driver was not paying attention, took out ten tickets and quietly stuffed them into the woman's pocket, and said with a sincere expression on his face: "Sister, can you measure it quickly, I think we will put some breeding products in the next few days, otherwise after the breeding season, we will have to spend money to introduce seedlings." The things introduced from the outside are not as good as our village's own. ”

Although this money is not much, this woman should rarely receive it, her heart jumped a little, and she said quietly: "It's all from the villagers, and it is right to do things for you." That's it, Xiao Liu, you call a few people tonight, take a rough measurement of these places, and give me a data. ”

"Okay Chen Jie. Hearing Chen Lifen's words, Xiao Liu, who was driving, immediately responded.

Xu Fang was a hundred satisfied with Chen Lifen's speed, and smiled: "Then thank you so much." ”

"Then I'll go back first, someone will measure it later, and I can test it all for you tonight, and tomorrow you will come directly to the town government to find me, and I will give you detailed data and bills." Chen Lifen said softly to Xu Fang.

Xu Fang nodded, and after sending Chen Lifen away, he also returned home.

Although a thousand yuan is not a small amount for the current Bai Mei family, Xu Fang thinks that this money is still very cost-effective.

When she arrived at home, Bai Mei was weighing the snails captured by the villagers, and seeing that she was about to finish weighing, Xu Fang found the driver's phone number and called him.

After the phone was connected, Xu Fang asked the driver to come and pick it up. After the driver arrived, Xu Fang put the snails in the car and followed the car to the city to sell them.

Early the next morning, after Xu Fang sold the crayfish, he went directly to the town government.

After arriving at the place, he came to the door of Chen Lifen's office, and Xu Fang knocked on the door.

"Please come in. Chen Lifen's very textured voice came.

After Xu Fang entered, he saw Chen Lifen and smiled gently: "Sister Chen, I'm here." ”

Seeing Xu Fang, Chen Lifen also had a smile on her face. This young man looks okay, has a good attitude, and is also on the road, which makes her have a good impression of Xu Fang in her heart.

"Come, sit down, our people measured that place yesterday, and the place you need is a total of fifty-six acres, one hundred and fifteen per mu per year, and these add up to a total of eight thousand four. ”

Although he was mentally prepared, when he heard this number, Xu Fang couldn't help but feel a little painful: "Sister Chen, can you pay in installments?" I want to contract for ten years, but now I can only pay off for one year. ”

Although Xu Fang has a little family background now, it adds up to a total of 20,000 yuan.

If this place is really contracted, it will cost at least 2,500 yuan to invite forklifts and excavators to come and clean up the shrimp pond.

Then disinfect the water in the pond and spread fertilizer for the shrimp seeds, which costs some money.

Crayfish love to burrow, it is easy to burrow and escape, there is often rain here, sometimes it rains, the water overflows the river, crayfish will also run away with the water, and it is also necessary to lay out a net around the pond. It costs thousands of dollars to lay nets in so many places.

Crayfish don't live with water, they also have to eat. Some feeds add up, and they all cost money.

Xu Fang's money is really not enough now, if it weren't for the fact that he can continue to catch crayfish and sell them for money, Xu Fang really can't open these shrimp ponds.

Hearing Xu Fang's words, Chen Lifen also sighed that the money was really not so easy to take, and said with a wry smile: "Little brother, aren't you embarrassed sister? ”

"Sister Chen, I only have enough for one year now, can you see if you can delay it for a few months? I can pay it back in three months." Xu Fang gave an accurate word.

Hearing Xu Fang say three months, Chen Lifen felt relieved, three months is too short, even if Xu Fang can't pay it back in the end, she will not have to take back the ponds, and immediately smiled: "When I want to owe a few years, three months is okay, let's add an article to the agreement, if it is not paid within three months, the government has the right to take back the lease rights of these ponds." ”

"Don't worry, Sister Chen, I will definitely pay it back!" Xu Fang assured.

There was no other problem, as soon as Xu Fang handed over the money and signed the contract, the right to use those ponds finally fell into Xu Fang's hands.

With the contract in hand, Xu Fang returned home.

Bai Mei was sweeping the floor in the yard, and when she saw Xu Fang coming back, she also had a smile on her face, and said softly, "You're back?"

"Well, those ponds have been contracted by me!" Xu Fang shook the contract in his hand and said with a smile: "I'll go to the river to see how to plan it later, and find an excavator to help tidy it up in the afternoon, and strive to make the most reasonable use of the area of the shrimp pond." ”

"You look at it, I support you in whatever you do. Bai Mei looked at Xu Fang and said with a smile: "By the way, don't run towards the city in the future, just let the driver help you send it over." How many pounds let him tell you, and then ask the boss to transfer the money to your bank card. He doesn't have to send you back to the village, if he can get other jobs in the city and do them by the way, and make the same money, he'll be happy. ”

Xu Fang glanced at Bai Mei in surprise, although the mind shown by this woman was not exquisite, it was definitely very practical. Such a talent, being an ordinary village woman in the village, is really a pearl in the dust.

"Then I'll go to the city this afternoon and talk to the boss and the driver. Xu Fang said with a smile.

"Well, go ahead. Seeing that his proposal was accepted by Xu Fang, Bai Mei's eyes bent into crescent moons. At this time, Bai Mei felt that her role was not to get into Xu Fang's bed every night.

Xu Fang chatted with Bai Mei for a while, then rode an electric tricycle to the pond in the west, looked at the more than 50 acres of land he had contracted, and thought about how to plan these places in order to turn these places into a reasonable layout.

It was only here that it was four o'clock in the afternoon, and Xu Fang sorted out the general idea. I looked at the time, and it was time to go to the market to sell snails.

After calling the driver and asking the driver to come over to deliver things, and after putting the snails in the car, Xu Fang followed the car towards the city.

"Big brother, in the future, you can help me send these things to the city, send them directly to the boss, let him weigh them, you can help me look at the number of catties, and don't worry about the rest, so you don't have to send me back, it's convenient for you to be busy in the city." Xu Fang said.

Xu Fang's proposal is really good, although he works in the town on weekdays, he can often take some work in the city, if he doesn't have to send Xu Fang back to the village, he can directly do his own business, which can save a lot of things, and he immediately agreed.

When he arrived at the place where the seafood was purchased, Xu Fang told the owner of the purchase station that the driver would deliver the goods, and the boss nodded in agreement.

Seeing that both ends had been done, Xu Fang's heart was relieved. Now, in addition to the normal crayfish fishing, he can concentrate on building shrimp ponds at other times.
