Erya said: "Now the middle piece of land is allocated, this piece is not afraid of drought and flood, so I plan to plant only rice, two crops a year, morning and evening, release water in winter to recuperate, and at the same time raise fish or ducks in the field to make up for the loss of vacant winter." Which of you will take this field? ”
The remaining four people all wanted to manage the field, but they did not approve of fish farming in the paddy fields.
Liu Dahai first said: "Lady of the East Family, we have heard of the ducks you said about raising in the rice fields, it seems that almost every family over there raises them. But how can fish be raised in this rice field? If there is less water, the fish will not be able to live, and if there is more water, the seedlings will easily rot their roots. This just doesn't work! ”
Erya praised it appreciatively: "Uncle Liu's question is quite good, which shows that Uncle Liu is very experienced in planting rice." However, it is possible to raise fish in the rice fields, as long as you make a few changes in the field.
The longitudinal width of a paddy field is 6 to 7 feet, and a deep ditch about two feet wide is arranged between the two fields. Horizontally, a deep ditch about three or four feet wide and a ditch four or five feet wide were arranged horizontally around the perimeter of the ridge. The water depth in the paddy field is slightly deeper than that of normal rice, at least one-third of the root of the rice seedling. In this way, Uncle Liu understands? ”
Liu Dahai nodded while thinking about it, and said with admiration: "The lady of the East family is really a capable person who grows crops, and she can think of such a wonderful method." For generations, our ancestors only knew the rules and regulations to grow rice and guard the rice fields. I didn't dare to think about anything, for fear that a mistake would be made, and the year's harvest would be lost. I have received this paddy field, and I am bound to do the best of the ideas of the owner lady! ”
Erya smiled: "Okay! Then Uncle Liu chooses a suitable helper by himself! ”
Liu Dahai chose Wan Encai from Wanjiageng Village, which was closer to his home, as his deputy.
The next step is to flood the flooded fields once a year.
Er Ya looked at Zhao Laishu and Jiang Yuming, who were full of unhappiness, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhao and Brother Jiang." Don't be so frustrated, in fact, this waterlogged field, which is regarded as chicken ribs in your eyes, is a treasure land that can produce more money than the previous two fields. You two have picked it up! ”
Jiang Yuming was younger, and he couldn't help his temperament, and after listening to the words of the lady of the owner, he put a surprise on his face. But when I looked back on the situation of the waterlogged fields, I felt that it was impossible. Then he asked: "The waterlogged fields can only be planted once a year, if the flood season is early, and even that season will be flooded, how can it be better than the first two fields?" ”
Erya did not resent his questioning. Instead, he patiently told him and Zhao Laishu carefully about his plans: "It depends on what we plant?" There are so many things in this world that are not afraid of flooding that can be planted and raised, why do you have to plant rice that is afraid of flooding?
Lotus root is not afraid of water and gold, cucumber is not afraid of water and is several times higher than the price of rice, fish farming one acre of pond can harvest at least thousands of catties of fish, raising loaches, raising yellow eels, raising large white shrimp, raising turtles, which is not two or three times higher than the income of growing rice? If you can catch bullfrogs from the northeast, you can raise this thing in the melon field and lotus root field at the same time, it is an additional income that does not occupy an area! ”
Zhao Laishu still had questions, "The lady of the owner, your plan is good, lotus root and cucumber can be planted." It's just that fish, loaches, and yellow eels may not work, and once the water rises, the lowest place can be more than a zhang deep. The fish and all that have to run away? Not to mention the big white shrimp! ”
Erya shook her head and said, "No!" Of course we can't raise fish, loaches, eels, prawns or anything like that in the normal way! My main method is to raise them in cages, large boxes made of bamboo, put them in paddy fields, and then put fish, loaches, yellow eels, and turtles in them, as long as they are not washed away by the waves. Don't be afraid of how deep the water is! ”
Jiang Yuming clapped his hands and exclaimed in surprise: "Gao Ming! The proprietor lady is amazing. Can you think of this way?! I think it's definitely going to work! ”
Zhao Laishu also nodded approvingly, "The lady of the owner has the ability." How did you come up with such a solution?! ”
The others all seemed to hear the Arabian Nights, and they all sighed in their hearts, "I really have a long insight today, and there is still such a way to raise fish in the world?" ”
Fish farming in the tank is not Erya's initiative, but the copyright stolen from later generations, so Erya is still very modest, "This is not what I thought, I borrowed it from others." Let's talk about how to remediate this field!
I thought, in the slightly higher boundary, we will add a high field dam to grow lotus roots, water melons, and raise some snails or something. In the lower concave places, they are simply digging deeper, and directly put the cages to raise fish and shrimp and other aquatic products. Do you understand? ”
Zhao Laishu and Jiang Yuming nodded hurriedly and replied: "We understand, we must do what the lady of the owner tells us!" ”
Seeing that the big things were almost discussed, the second girl explained the small things again: "That's good! Now that this is all the big thing clear, it's up to you to take someone to tidy up the fields. If there is any good mention in the middle, you can also put it forward, and everyone will consider it. There is a reward for the one that is adopted!
For fields of the same height, it is best to tidy up and be square. Don't be big and small, uneven, not good-looking, don't say, it's not convenient for you to work! I hope that if you need to buy oxen and plows, or other tools, you can report the quantity and name as much as possible, and I will buy it for you as soon as possible.
In addition, you also go to each house to inform me, if there are old people who can weave bamboo, also report to me, and my net box will be handed over to your people to weave, it must be strong and durable. Acceptance pass guò, small thirty wen, big fifty wen, super large one hundred! Bamboo, wicker or anything else are brought, I don't care! ”
The six of them were glad to respond, and at the same time thought to themselves that any of their own families and relatives would be able to weave bamboo, so that they could all earn some money.
Because there were not many things, it was dealt with clearly in the morning, and when Erya returned home, it was just in time for everyone to have lunch.
After lunch. Wen Yue wanted to follow his mother at home, but was coaxed and tricked by Erya to send him to the school.
Erya went to the old house again to see the mushrooms, fungus and some out-of-season greens grown in the wooden box. was busy and happy, and the eldest aunt shouted, "Is the nephew and daughter-in-law available?" "As he walked towards the old house.
Erya hurriedly put down what she was doing and came out of the greenhouse in the kitchen. When I saw the eldest uncle, I asked, "Auntie, but is there something?" ”
The eldest aunt walked up to Erya and stopped, and said, "Something's wrong!" But it's not a big deal, it's your second aunt who came to you yesterday to find something, because you were busy and didn't find you, so I asked me to come and talk to you today! ”
Erya became curious. While motioning for the eldest aunt to follow her to the new house, she asked, "What does the second aunt want to say?" ”
The eldest aunt sighed and said, "It's still her eldest daughter's business, Zhigui and his wife finally separated from their in-laws, but they didn't give them a single grass." They don't want to live with that side. Now I want to have a place to stay, I want to think about it, or I want to find a place to settle down with us. Your uncle and second uncle both said to ask for your opinion, and let them build a house wherever you say. ”
Erya asked funny: "They are too, why is it so troublesome to divide the family, how long has it been before the family is divided neatly?" ”
The eldest uncle cried out with a toothache: "Oh, hey! Don't say it, Zhigui's father-in-law and mother-in-law are really rare and difficult goods. They asked Zhigui for a hundred taels of silver, otherwise they would live or die. If they dare to leave their homes and settle elsewhere, they will sue the government. said that they didn't care whether their father and mother lived or died. Where do Zhigui and his wife dare to move, they just keep staying up! This time, Zhigui was stubborn and wanted to reconcile with her husband, so she was so scared that she let go and split up. Otherwise, it would be so easy to divide anywhere! ”
Er Ya laughed: "Ha! That's it, when they don't have any hope, everything is easy. In the past, the eldest cousin was too dependent on their family! In my opinion, they'd better go to the town and buy a plot of land to build a house! When the bazaar is fully opened. The shops in the town will gradually follow, so that their back roads are relatively wider! ”
The eldest aunt nodded approvingly. said: "It's still my niece and daughter-in-law who think far, your second aunt will come over tomorrow, and I'll tell her." There's also that."
The eldest aunt looked at Erya very hesitantly, as if she had something to say, and it was difficult to say.
Erya's impression of the eldest aunt has always been very good, and she will never come to the door if there is no difficulty. immediately took the initiative to ask: "Auntie, if you have anything to say, do you still need to talk so much with me?" ”
After hearing what Er Ya said, the eldest aunt responded happily: "Hey! What, I want to take Daman's grandfather to live for a while, but his grandmother is unwilling, saying that she is used to working at home, and she is uncomfortable to be idle here. I just want to ask you, is there anything suitable for his grandmother to do? ”
Regarding this matter, Er Ya is really a little difficult. The old lady was in her sixties, and she couldn't do needlework, but her eyes were not good. Raising chickens and ducks, she must be too idle. Erya thought about what was appropriate, and muttered in her mouth: "This?!" Let me think about it, there are so many things! I can't find a single thing for grandma to do. ”
Er Ya desperately recalled in her mind what the sixty-seven-year-old ladies who were idle in the city in the future were usually doing!
Picking up trash? No way! Square dancing? No way! Setting up a vegetable stall? Not here! Sell early? Yes! This can be a fuss! There's a school here, and there's a market for it sooner!
Er Ya clapped her hands and smiled at the eldest uncle: "There is!" Big girl, do you remember when I got that pancake the other day? ”
The eldest aunt looked puzzled, "Remember! But what is the saying? ”
"In this way, I will teach my grandmother to make that pancake, and then teach my grandmother to make egg scones, and when my grandmother will make it, I will let my grandmother buy it early at the door of my school. The children in the school are all growing up, and the porridge buns they eat in the morning are not hungry, but they are hungry early. I've also been thinking about whether or not to add a meal to them between classes! It just so happened that my grandmother came over to sell pancakes and egg scones for two pennies each, and the children of the family could afford to eat. For the children in the Northland, I will give them subsidies first, and when there is work for them to do, I will let them do their own work for wages. In this way, grandma has something to do and money to earn, and she will definitely be able to stay here! ”
Just kidding, I earn a hundred dollars a day, but I'm afraid of driving her away, and she is reluctant to leave!
The eldest aunt listened to Erya's words, and covered her mouth and smiled excitedly. The second girl teased the eldest aunt, "Auntie! If you want to laugh, let go of the smile, why cover your mouth, your mouth is tired, and your hands are afraid that they are even more tired! ”
The eldest aunt really let go of her hand, "Giggles! Laughing. After a while, he spoke: "Nephew and daughter-in-law, this is good! If I had someone tell his grandmother with a letter today, I wouldn't have said that she would have been able to come overnight! Cluck!
