Xu quickly forgot about Xu Youxuan, because the family was too busy.

The things on Luhuapo alone are enough for the family to be busy.

All the lotus roots on the side of Luhuapo were dug up, and the seven were busy selling lotus roots during this period of time.

Because of everyone's help, coupled with the fact that it is out of season, the sales of lotus root are good, many of them are repeat customers, and now there are only five or six thousand lotus roots at home that have not been sold, so she is not in a hurry.

Xu Youxuan made the right move to move to Wangsong County, and as soon as the sales channel opened, the sales skyrocketed and earned some silver.

The Kang family also helped a lot, in addition to the usual bulk sales, they also introduced several foreign merchants.

There is also Hulin Town, and later Tang Hu was specially asked to run, and there are a few people in the village who are more flexible, and they took the initiative to come to Qiduo's house to sell lotus roots, including San Lang.

When he went to the town to sell snails with San Lang, Qi Duo found that he had a talent for business, and he didn't look away, this time San Lang alone sold 5,000 catties of lotus root, far better than several other people in the village, and earned more than 50 taels of silver.

Because the price Qiduo gave him was cheaper than others, and his mouth would be fooled, and the price was higher than others, how could this not make money. Of course, I have been running around with Tan Dejin over the years, and I have also accumulated some contacts, which has helped him a lot this time.

Seeing him like this, Qiduo even thought in his heart that he should hire him as a sales manager when he wanted to sell something next time.

Of course, just think about it now and make a decision later.

The lotus root was dug out. Then the next step is to plant lotus roots.

Of course, you have to tidy up the lotus root pond before planting lotus roots. It's a big project. It's up to Tom Hu, who has done it before and is doing it.

The pond has been self-sustaining for many years, so the amount of lotus root is not much, seven roughly calculated, now the yield of this lotus root per mu is only four or five thousand catties, far lower than the yield of those lotus ponds in modern times.

And all the lotus root seeds are hand-selected by Qiduo.

She picked it herself, not that she knew much about it. Just take this opportunity to use the ability to improve the quality of all lotus roots, hoping that the quality and yield of lotus roots produced by the improved quality of lotus roots will be greatly improved.

The barren mountain is still being turned over and fertilized, and the tree pits have been dug up, so when the saplings come, the trees can be planted first.

In the pond not far from the lotus pond, Qiduo didn't want it to be empty like this, and was going to raise some fish and some ducks.

Nowadays, Luhuapo is the main industry of the family, of course, we must make full use of the resources, and we can't waste them.

Fish and duck polyculture is what Qiduo once saw when he traveled to other places. At that time, the first reaction in my mind was that there were ducks in the fish pond, and wouldn't the ducks eat the fish? Later, I asked the owner of the fishing pond. Only then did I learn that they were polycultured together, not only would they not lose fish, but they also had unexpected advantages.

The aquatic plants and insects in the pond can be used as food for the ducks, and when the trees on the mountain grow, they will become a base for duck stocking. The excrement of ducks can be used as fish feed, which not only saves the cost of fish farming, but also allows fish and ducks to grow and achieve a win-win situation.

Of course, you have to put the fry first, and when the fish grow up and the ducks can't eat them in one bite, then put the ducks in the fish pond. Otherwise, those fry would have become a duck's delicacy.

Seven flowers have a spiritual spring, and they are not worried that the pond will dry up, and they are ready to raise some silver carp, grass carp, fat head, crucian carp and carp.

Just do it, she immediately told Tan Dejin and Tan Debao her thoughts.

The two Tan Dejin brothers discussed it carefully, thinking that the method of fish farming is feasible, anyway, it needs to be managed here, and there is not one more fish pond, and now the relationship between the family and some restaurants in the county town is good, and there is no need to worry too much about the sales at that time.

Although Mianjiang is located on the riverside, there is no shortage of fresh food, but the fresh food is delicious and difficult to catch, and the price is naturally high. When the domestic fish wins at the price, I believe that the restaurant will not refuse, and the general people are reluctant to buy fish to eat on weekdays, which is also a hidden consumer group.

However, in terms of raising ducks, Tan Debao has a concern, "Big brother, Qiduo, you see, if we raise a lot of ducks and put them in the woods, we need a lot of people to watch them, otherwise, in such a large area, who knows where they will go." ”

Qiduo and Tan Dejin nodded, this is a problem, ducks have feet and can run, and now the trees here are not yet forested, so it's good to find them, but if they wait until the trees are green, it's not easy to find.

Suddenly, something occurred to her.

I remember that when I visited the fish and duck polyculture farm, those ducks were raised in captivity, there were nets in the fish pond, and there were nets around the duck shed, as if a special area was enclosed for the ducks to move, not completely free-range.

If the ducks are enclosed, it will be much easier to manage, but in this way, the ducks will be completely fed, and the feed will not be too simple.

So, Qiduo proposed the method of captivity.

Tan Dejin nodded, "It's good to keep them in captivity, but they can't be jungled, and it may cost some feed." ”

Qiduo remembers that the domestic ducks are not fed three times a day, and in seasons like double robbery, chickens and ducks are not fed all day long, and they all rely on wild food.

In a season like winter, there is no wild food to eat, and chickens and ducks have to be fed by meals, which naturally costs food.

Therefore, generally farmers with less land at home do not dare to raise chickens and ducks easily, because they are worried that there will be no food to feed them.

The taste of domestic chickens and ducks is good, whether it is stewed and fried, it is fragrant and fragrant, mouth-watering, and the eggs are also big yolks like gold, but there is a shortcoming, that is, they grow slowly.

The biggest advantage of artificially bred chickens and ducks is that they grow fast and can be sold soon out of the nest, of course, the taste is relatively speaking, and the local chickens and ducks are not as delicious as the domestic chickens.

But this shortcoming is not a shortcoming at all for Qiduo, there is a special ability here, where are you afraid of these.

"Dad, fourth uncle, although it will cost some feed to be kept in captivity, they grow quickly, so it is the same as stocking." Qiduo said.

"How can you be sure that captivity will grow faster?" Tan Debao wondered.

Qiduo pursed her lips and smiled, "Fourth uncle, look at that pig." Shut up in the circle every day. Ate, slept, slept, ate. How fast you grow, you can grow more than 200 pounds in a year. I think it's the same with chickens and ducks, if you eat enough every day, of course you will grow faster. ”

Tan Debao thought about it, it was really true, and he was happy, "You girl, you really make some sense." ”

Tan Dekin nodded. "Cheng, then let's keep it in captivity."

"However, although it is in captivity, we have to drive the ducks often and let them move, otherwise, the ducks will be full of fat and oil, and it will not be delicious." Qiduo said with a smile.

Tan Debao nodded, thinking that there was some truth.

The three of them started discussing some details, and it was an idea. But it doesn't take a sentence or two to turn an idea into reality. There are many aspects involved in planning and arrangement.

Fortunately, Qiduo had seen the appearance of the fish and duck polyculture farm with his own eyes, and had heard some knowledge of breeding from fishermen and farmers, which came in handy now.

Based on her memory, she drew a rough sketch, and then everyone discussed it together.

Tang Hu went to Hulin Town to buy lotus roots, and by the way, he took back the saplings he had ordered last time.

After the saplings returned, they arranged for the workers to plant them, and Luhuapo became even busier.

Under the spring rain, people wearing robes and hats can be seen everywhere in the fields to plant seedlings.

After the seedlings were planted, the weather was already very warm, and people changed into thin spring clothes, and in modern times, it was the season to wear a single shirt.

"Mother, my clothes are short." Qiduo wore last year's pants, which were obviously shorter and less than bare feet.

Xu Shi came over and smiled, "Duo, you have grown taller, my mother remembers that when you wore it last year, you had to roll up your trouser legs a little, otherwise you would step on it." Well, you've grown a lot this year. ”

Xu gestured and found that the seven flowers had reached her ears.

She smiled reassuringly.

Since the separation, the food of the Qiduo family has gone up a few steps, and the nutrition has kept up, except for Erxia's height, Qiduo and Liuju are all ruthless, and even the thin Liulang has grown meat on his small face now, and he has become a little meaty, and he has grown a lot.

"I'll go look for your second sister's clothes, and see if there are any small ones, just for you to wear." Xu was going to open the box to find it.

"Mother, Duo runs outside every day, stop wearing my old clothes with Ju, and make her a new one." Erxia happened to come in, and when she saw that Qiduo's clothes were short, she immediately took a ruler and measured it.

Qiduo immediately wrinkled her nose at Xu's family, and affectionately pulled Erxia's arm, "It's better to be the eldest sister, my mother knows how to let people wear old clothes, hum." ”

"Xia, you have also learned to be a good person, and your mother has become the wicked person." Xu Shi smiled and annoyed Erxia, but still opened the box, "New clothes can't be made now, this dress on Duo's body is short, you can't go out like this, I'll find a set for her to wear first." Don't worry, don't say it's a flower now, it's Xia you and orange, and my mother won't let you change your old clothes to a small one. ”

The conditions at home have improved, and of course she will not be wronged by the children.

Of course, it can't be wasted.

"Hehe, we wronged my mother." Qiduo pursed her lips and smiled.

Erxia also bent her eyes and smiled, "Duo, there are just two pieces of cloth at home, one goose yellow and one green onion, make two clothes for you, it will definitely look good to wear." ”

"Okay." Qiduo accepted it unceremoniously, and didn't even say thank you, her own sisters, who were too polite, seemed to be raw.

However, the weather is getting hotter, and she really misses the short-sleeved shirt and skirt in her previous life.

Alas, these things can only be thought of in the heart.

Now the lotus root has been planted on the side of Luhuapo, thousands of fish fry have been placed in the fish pond, and the duck fry have been set with someone, and they will be picked up a few days later.

The reclamation on the barren hill is progressing well, all the saplings have been planted, and the land where the crops are planted is now in the process of leveling the ridges for the last time, and when all this is done, it is time to dig up and sow the seeds.

"By the way, mother, I don't seem to have seen my grandparents recently, they're okay." Qiduo asked.

I was too busy during this time to hear any movement from the Zhao family.

People who like to jump suddenly quieted down, and she really didn't get used to it.

"Auntie, the uncle is not at home, grandma asked him to go." At this moment, the voice of Sijube came from outside the door.

Alas, this person really can't talk about it, as soon as Qiduo's words fell, Zhao showed his face.
