After going down the mountain, several people were a little tired, especially Xiaobao, a boy whose physical strength was not yet good for Luoluo, Meng Ying decided to chase him up tomorrow morning to exercise together.

"Uncle, let's go to the fish pond and have a look." Luoluo couldn't stay, so she rested for a while and drank some hot water.

"Okay, let's bring a net bag and catch a fish for lunch to make sauerkraut fish for lunch." Zhao Yuan smiled and went to get the net from the utility room.

"Fishing, uncle, I'll go and call my sister first." Luoluo said, and ran out with Xiaobao holding the net.

"Let's go too." Zhao Yuan saw that there was no one else in the house, kissed his wife, pulled the blushing Meng Ying, picked up a small bucket from the kitchen that was ready to be used to hold fish, and walked towards the fish pond.

"Sister Xiaoya, my uncle is back, let's go catch fish now, you come out quickly." Luoluo came to the outside of Yao Yuan's house and shouted loudly.

"Sister Luoluo, are you going to catch the big fish in the pond?" Xiaoya was obediently roasting the fire in the house alone, it was too cold outside, Yao Yuan and his wife were working, and they didn't take her with them.

"Yes, let's go, little girl." Luoluo happily held Xiaoya's little hand.

"I'll go tell my second brother and sister-in-law." Xiaoya said sensibly.

"No need to go, little girl, when we came, they already knew." Xiaobao said on the side, he couldn't wait to catch fish.

When he came to the fish pond, Zhao Yuan found that a thin layer of ice had formed around the fish pond, but the center of the fish pond had not yet frozen, and it should be the relationship between the river flowing through the middle of the fish pond.

The fish in the pond are a bit miscellaneous, perhaps because of the low temperature, the fish in it are not active. Coming to the bamboo pavilion built on the boulder in the center of the fish pond, Luoluo and Xiaobao couldn't wait to grab some fish food from a sack and sprinkle it into the fish pond, watching the fish in the fish pond compete for fish food.

"Uncle, catch that one, that fish is the biggest." Luoluo pointed to the fish pond and said.

"Okay, look at me." Zhao Yuan readily agreed.

The fish in the fish pond have been raised for so long, the fresh river water and sufficient natural additive-free feed, the fish in a pond are very fat, if it is not cold, it is not easy to catch a fish.

"Be careful, Brother Yuan." Seeing Zhao Yuan holding a copy net in one hand, stepping out of the bamboo pavilion, holding the pillar of the bamboo pavilion with the other, standing on the stone to prepare the net fish, Meng Ying said.

"It's okay, watch me catch fish." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

Xiaobao seemed a little anxious, and I also wanted to catch fish. The little girl looked a little nervous, and she didn't dare to speak, for fear of scaring away the fish in the fish pond.

"Uncle, don't move yet, we'll sprinkle the feed and lure that fish over for you to net." Luoluo came up with an idea.

The handle of the net is a bit short, and it is still not enough to see this fish pond of more than one acre. Fortunately, Zhao Yuan's skills are good now, otherwise it would be really difficult to eat fish.

"Quick, Brother Yuan, it's that fish, that one is the biggest." Meng Ying saw that the big fish was attracted over, and said excitedly.

Zhao Yuan flipped over the net in his hand, and a grass carp with at least five catties fell into the net and struggled vigorously.

"What a big fish, Brother Yuan, catch two more and send them to Steward Jia and Brother Yao in a while." Meng Ying happily brought the bucket over and asked Zhao Yuan to put the fat fish in the bucket. By the way, I added some water to the bucket to ensure that the fish was alive.

Most of the fish in the fish pond are caught from the waterhole at the source of Dayuan Creek on the mountainside of the old mountain, and these big fish may have grown for a year or two, and they are caught and raised, which is the time when these fish grow crazy.

Sufficient feed and excellent water quality make these fish in the fish pond infinitely close to the quality of wild fish, which makes Zhao Yuan say that he is blessed.

"Uncle, we caught all the fish in the fish pond this year, will there be no fish in the fish pond next year?" Luoluo asked.

"No, Luoluo, you haven't noticed that there are still many small fish in the fish pond, and they will grow up next year." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

The fish in the pond have laid a lot of eggs around May, and although the pond is not suitable for fish breeding, there are still a lot of fry that survive.

The fish pond is newly built, and after lime disinfection, there are these fish fry is enough for their own fish pond breeding, in the future to expand the scale of fish farming, Zhao Yuan thought about building a pond specially used to breed fish fry.

After fishing four big fish, the small wooden barrel brought was full, and the four fresh fish did not make a splash in the bucket, which made Luoluo and Xiaoya, who were teasing the big fish on the side, let out a burst of exclamations.

Sent the fish to Jia Yu and Yao Yuan's house, Zhao Yuan asked Meng Ying to bring the fish back first, and he took Luoluo and Xiaobao to the farm to see everyone working.

"The master is back." Jia Yang and Yao Yuan, who were working, saw Zhao Yuan, stopped what they were doing and stepped forward to say hello.

"I'm back, and now the work at home is heavier." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

Now Zhao Yuan's farm has formed a certain scale, although there is a special feed feeding, but there is not a lot of work every day.

The animals' manure is cleaned once a day and transported to an earthworm farm near the downstream to feed the earthworms.

Some feed crushing, need to be cooked, fortunately there are briquettes as fuel, plus a manual blower to strengthen the firepower, otherwise it will take a lot of labor every day just to cook the firewood for feed.

The green fodder for cattle, horses, sheep and donkeys, still need a few people to go to the hillside to cut the grass back, the winter work is a little easier, the grass on the hillside has withered and can not be used, can only let them out to eat some dry grass, the livestock shed prepared some straw, and then feed some concentrate feed.

"Master, the herbs you asked Mr. Four to specially prepare are very useful, and the livestock who fed the herbs have not become ill for so long." Yao Yuan said admiringly.

"It's good to be useful, you can kill the New Year pig in a few days, and you can relax then." Zhao Yuan nodded.

The soybean cake brought from the oil mill is the main source of feed for the family's so many livestock, and with the continuous production of earthworm meal to supplement protein, these animals in the family are growing well, their fur is smooth and smooth, and they are very healthy at first glance.

"This time we will transport a lot of livestock back from Danling, Yao Yuan in the afternoon, you go with me to Laozhutian, and then choose some livestock to come back, and our farm will be expanded next year." Zhao Yuan said.

"Master, if you expand the farm, there will not be enough land here." Butler Jia Yu said.

"There will be more people from Danling this time, and they will find a place to expand the farm, and then you will have to go there to be a steward." Zhao Yuan nodded and said.

"It's all up to the master." Yao Yuan and Jia Yang glanced at each other, their eyes full of excitement.

Now after living alone from Zhao Yuan's house, it is natural to think more about themselves, during the time they worked on the farm, both of them had a clear understanding of the breeding of livestock and poultry, if they could manage a larger farm, according to Zhao Yuan's generous character, they would definitely get more benefits.

Especially Jia Yang, the two children in the family are almost at the age of marriage, and they are worried, and they are even more excited when they hear Zhao Yuan's arrangement.
