Chapter 23: A Harvest in the Cage
Contracting land for breeding and planting, as long as it has anything to do with agriculture, is by no means a leisurely thing, unless you are a hands-off shopkeeper. But Li Jing doesn't have this capital www.biquge.info and the work in the Stone Tree World can only be done by him personally.
However, Li Jing enjoyed this process very much, not only was he mentally satisfied, but he really enjoyed the comfort after the sweat on his body was volatilized.
No, after taking a shower and changing into muddy clothes, Li Jing came to the reservoir fishing ground leisurely, only to find that in addition to Liu Le, Jiang Lao was also here, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello: "Jiang Lao, you are also here!" ”
"Li Jing, I heard Liu Le say that you have started planting new types of rice?" Jiang Lao asked, he was very interested in this, and he really missed the rice.
"Rake the fields tomorrow morning and start planting the day after tomorrow." Li Jing replied.
"Then you will be able to eat new rice in two or three months, and you have to cultivate it carefully." Jiang Lao did not forget to advise.
"After the harvest, I must leave some for Jiang Lao." Li Jing said with a smile.
Jiang Lao smiled with relief, and he waited for Li Jing's words. glanced at the float that didn't move at all, and asked Li Jing again: "The fish in the fish head soup the day before yesterday wasn't caught in this reservoir, right?" The fish is not ordinary, and it needs a good natural environment to grow like this. And it's very good for the body, I was comfortable that night, I slept well, I had a good appetite for the past two days, but I miss this taste a little, if you can still get it, remember to tell me. ”
Li Jing and Liu Le all drank the fish head soup, but they didn't have a very intuitive feeling of its benefits, they just thought it was delicious. But Jiang Lao is different, after all, he is old, and there are inevitably some big and small problems in his body, and after he went back that night, he obviously felt the benefits of this fish, his body was comfortable, and he really knew the taste of the marrow.
Li Jing was helpless, this Jiang Lao had become a fine, like Liu Le, he didn't think so much. After pondering for a while, Li Jing pondered and said: "I can indeed buy some of that fish, but they are all wild old fish in the natural environment, and the price is much higher than that in the market, if Jiang Lao likes it, you can invite some friends to come over." ”
Li Jing did not give him the fish directly, but asked him to bring his friends over, just to use his relationship to promote the farm. Of course, Jiang Lao understood what Li Jing was thinking, but he didn't care, and immediately responded: "Is there a time schedule for dinner tomorrow?" I brought a few family and friends with me. ”
"No problem." Li Jing thought for a while.
It's not early, Jiang Lao left empty-handed after paying today's fishing fee, and he didn't catch a decent one this afternoon, so Li Jing earned thirty in vain. Liu Le was no better, and he was about to go home when he picked up Luo Fei, who was only three or five palms in the water, but Li Jing pulled him back.
"Boss Li wants me to cook tomorrow night?" Liu Le didn't wait for Li Jing to speak, and then spoke first.
"Uh...... Yes, I can pay you for the settlement. Li Jing is helpless, tomorrow night's banquet will be more grand, it really can't be done without Liu Le's help.
Liu Le said: "Okay! But I don't take any money from you, just give me one of those fish, don't be too small. ”
Li Jing listened to it and said with a smile: "That's it, remember to come tomorrow." ”
Li Jing had already planned not to go to the ground cage tonight, after all, he was tired enough, but since he was going to entertain guests tomorrow night, he had to be prepared now, and after sending Liu Le away, he carried the ground cage and hoe and entered the stone tree world.
It's not early, and only two earthworms, one large and one small, are put in each ground cage, and they are tied to ropes in the river, looking forward to a good harvest tomorrow morning.
I have a job in my heart, and I don't even have the heart to sleep. The next day, before it was fully dawn, Li Jing had already gotten up from the bed, and when he looked at his mobile phone, it was only four o'clock. This diligence and positivity surprised even Li Jing himself.
However, at this time, poisonous snakes and beasts are rarely infested, and they are not in the mood to sleep again, so Li Jing simply took a flashlight and went to collect the ground cage.
The dawn of the Kyushu River in the stone tree world is very comfortable, only a few insects squeak, and the whole world is quiet, which makes people a little unbearable.
Li Jing appeared directly on the shore of the last ground cage, untied the rope tied to the bush and pulled it up, the fifteen-meter-long ground cage sank slightly after entering the water, and could only be recovered section by section.
"Huh? There are shrimp! Li Jing was overjoyed, and used a flashlight to fix a photo, which was still a river shrimp the size of an adult frog, like a lobster. The shell is crystal clear, the feet are curved and long, especially the pair of pliers, which are proud.
Not only one, the fifteen-meter-long ground cage was full of crawls, and it was full of large river shrimps, and when Li Jing raised the water surface, he stumbled and almost couldn't grasp it steadily.
"Forty or fifty pounds, right? Shrimp nests! Li Jing was very surprised, and this river shrimp are all vigorous and strong, the largest is the size of a fist, and some lobsters are just like this.
Li Jing came with a big bucket, but it doesn't seem to be useful now, and he can't hold it at all! Just go straight to the farm, pour the shrimp into the seafood pond, and turn on the oxygen machine, and it's not fresh when you die. Seafood is not fresh, which is equivalent to losing eighty percent of its taste, and no matter how good the quality is, it completely loses its value.
After doing this, Li Jing entered the Stone Tree World again and went to collect the second earth cage.
This time, it was not all big river shrimp, but also a lot of yellow bone fish, the largest of which was two or three catties, golden and attractive. You must know that the fish outside can grow to half a catty is already the largest, but it is normal in these two or three catties, and the world is a monster.
The next few ground cages were also harvested, mainly river shrimp, then yellow and spicy dice, and some loach and yellow eel small trash fish. One of the golden yellow eels has a thick waist and wrist, more than a meter long, and is estimated to weigh more than ten catties, which is definitely at the level of a spirit in the outside world, but it is very ordinary here.
However, there are also air force members, just because more than a dozen Chinese water snakes were drilled into this cage, and the fish and shrimp in it were all ruined.
What made Li Jing happy was that there were many small fish fry in some ground cages, most of them were carp, and some herring fish, numbering thousands, were all released back to his reservoir by Li Jing as soon as possible. This is no ordinary fish, it has the genes of the Stone Tree World.
And the biggest harvest is the last fifteen-meter cage dragged out of the aquatic weeds, it is estimated that I met the water fish nest, a cage pulled eight large water fish, and hundreds of small cubs, the largest one weighed more than ten pounds, and when struggling, he also bit this ground cage with a mouth, which was extremely violent!
Just collecting ten ground cages, Li Jing spent nearly two hours, and he even missed the time to fish today. But the harvest was not unfruitful, leaving some large ones, and the rest were released into the reservoir, a total of ten full barrels. Although it is a drop in the bucket for such a large reservoir, it is estimated that it will not take long to make the reservoir lively.
"At what point, I see who dares to say that Liancheng is the No. 1 black pit." Li Jing grinned.
"Toot toot!"
"So early?"
The sound of the car horn sounding at the door, Li Jing hurriedly trotted out, and sure enough, he saw a Dongfanghong tractor parked at the door, and a middle-aged man in camouflage uniform was smoking in the driver's seat.
"Master Zhong, right? I'm Li Jing, the owner of the farm, have you had breakfast? Li Jing stepped forward directly to greet him.
"I've already eaten it." Master Zhong threw the cigarette butt on the ground, opened his mouth and spit out the cigarette and said: "Boss Li, talk about the price before you work, one hundred and two per mu of land, and settle it once a day, otherwise you won't have money to make oil." In order to finish it quickly, I won't go back at noon, so please leave me a light meal. ”
"Okay!" Li Jing nodded, followed him along the path to the paddy field, and when he saw that he had nothing to do, he let Master Zhong be busy by himself. Wages are calculated on a per acre basis, and there is no need to supervise the work.
Back at the farm, it was still early, and it seemed that the croppers liked to get up early and be greedy for darkness.
"Water fish, river shrimp, yellow bone fish, yellow eel, loach, small trash fish...... A few main dishes are missing. "Li Jing is on the edge of the fish pond. Tonight's banquet is different from the previous one, this time it is much more formal, of course, it can't be too casual.
"While it's still early, catch a few more big fish." Li Jing thought about it, and immediately took the fishing rod and entered the stone tree world.
