Chapter 220 Rice and Fish Farming
The rice in the village has also been planted at this time, Mu Xiu went to see it once in her spare time, and found that now the people in the village grow rice, but they do not raise fish, which is a waste of space, she thought about it, and went to find Chen Xiangyang, the village party secretary.
"What do you say? Fish farming in rice paddies? Chen Xiangyang asked in surprise.
"Uncle Chen, not only can you put fish fry in the rice field, but also crab fry, and the use of rice field fish farming can also make the rice field yield increase slightly, you think, fish can't do without water, don't eat insects, weeds and the like, and the feces pulled out by the fish are equivalent to fertilizing the rice, and after cutting the rice, you can catch the fish, and the two are not delayed, how affordable." Mu Xiu told the story.
"Logically speaking, fish fry and crab fry will definitely grow when they are put in the rice field, but what if the water overflows, or the fish runs out of holes and leaks." Chen Xiangyang asked with a frown.
"As long as the ridges are heightened and reinforced, eels are not raised, grass carp and crucian carp are raised, and then the fish ditch is excavated to fish slip, so that the fish can be concentrated in a place where activities are concentrated, and it is convenient to fish at that time.
Chen Xiangyang listened to Mu Xiu's description, his eyes became brighter and brighter, this matter was thought about in his mind a few times, and he felt that there was really no big problem.
"Mu Xiu, you are really amazing, you can even come up with this method."
"Uncle Chen, I just went to the provincial capital this time, and I listened to others, in some places, there have been successful breeding cases, so I took it to heart, and specially asked how to implement it, and wrote it down." Mu Xiu was embarrassed to be praised.
In fact, ducks can still be raised in the rice fields, but this is more difficult to implement, so Mu Xiu simply stopped mentioning it.
"After this spring harvest, many villagers of the division of labor system, see that the field to the household is a bumper harvest, the eyes are red, now are clamoring to divide the field to the household, I was busy with this thing some time ago, the next time the field will be divided into the autumn harvest after the harvest, and now the rice field fish farming method is said, this autumn is a bumper harvest." Chen Xiangyang said with great interest.
"Uncle Chen, I don't think many people will respond, after all, everyone is waiting and seeing new things, I don't know if Uncle Chen will be the first person to try." Mu Xiu is not as positive as Chen Xiangyang thought.
Thinking of the original division of the field to the household, Chen Xiangyang was speechless for a while.
"I'll have a meeting to ask the big guys for their opinions, and if there are those who are willing to raise, I'll go and pull some fish fry back, go, you go with me." Chen Xiangyang took a straw hat, put it on his head, and walked towards the radio station.
After a while, the small loudspeaker at the head of the village shouted and told the villagers to gather at the wheat drying field in the village, and send a representative to the families who could not leave.
Soon, in the wheat drying field, many people came one after another, and as Mu Xiu expected, when Chen Xiangyang said the idea of raising fish in the rice field, many people raised doubts.
"Village party secretary, this kind of rice is to grow rice, and fish farming is to raise fish, and it is good to be separated, why should it be combined?" An old voice rang out.
"Mrs. Liu, there is no reservoir or lake in our Yingwu Village, if we build one specifically for fish farming, it is too manpower and material resources, and now it is the most affordable to raise fish in the rice field, and we can harvest rice and raise fish." Chen Xiangyang explained.
"Village party secretary, this rice still needs to be sprayed, will it poison the fish?"
"Will this fish eat the rice seedlings, and will this rice still grow?"
"Fish can get sick too, and if they die, will it be transmitted to rice?"
"In case of heavy rain, the fish will not all run out, and then the effort will be wasted."
"Do we need to pay for this fry? In case it is not well raised, who will bear the loss. ”
"Don't let the rice not grow in the end and become a fish pond, this fish is not as valuable as rice."
Everyone talked about it, and they all felt that raising fish in the rice field was whimsical, and the questions raised by everyone made Chen Xiangyang unable to answer, and his eyes looked at Mu Xiu.
Mu Xiu couldn't help but admire this group of villagers, and the questions raised were all focused.
Indeed, in order to pursue economic interests, some people later had problems such as the area of rice and fish comprehensive planting and breeding ditches was too large, the planting and breeding environment was not up to standard, and the rice yield was low.
"These problems can be solved, but the explanation is very complicated, and I can't guarantee that everyone will be able to succeed in raising fish, and some of them will not follow my method, and they will be raised to death, and they will be responsible for me, and I can't afford it." Mu Xiu said to Chen Xiangyang that some villagers are not moral, and Mu Xiu is unwilling to be responsible for those people.
"Folks, these problems can be solved, fish fry need to be purchased personally, self-financing, now the folks who are interested in staying, folks who are not willing to try, you can look at this year's situation, and make a decision next year." Originally, this was an attempt, and the questions of the villagers made Chen Xiangyang's excited heart begin to be worried.
After all, he is also in contact for the first time, he can lose, but the villagers can't afford to lose, Mu Xiu is right, if you ask him for compensation, it will be worth the loss.
After all, people have a sense of rejection of unfamiliar things, if it can be proved that rice and fish farming can increase income, then there is no need for him to say more in the coming year, and the villagers will respond very positively.
There was a chaotic discussion in the wheat drying field, and then the villagers began to leave one after another, and finally there were less than ten people left.
Take a closer look, that is, the few people who were in favor of dividing the fields into households from the beginning, these years, they are all starving to death for the bold.
So, Mu Xiu began training these people, how to use pesticides, how to raise fish, how to dig fish slips, disinfection and fertilization of rice fields, and told everyone that after the fish fingerlings are bought, Mu Xiu will disinfect again, and then explain the precautions after the fish fry are released.
After saying this, it was almost noon, and everyone dispersed to go home.
"Mu Xiu, go to my house for dinner at noon, you've been working hard all morning." Chen Xiangyang said enthusiastically.
"Uncle Chen, the family cooked my meal, I won't go, just now counted, the villagers have a total of 30 acres of rice, if you go to buy fish fry tomorrow, you have to calculate well, the carp fry weighing 50 grams per mu is 150, the grass carp fry is 70, the stocking carp is eight, and the grass carp is two." Mu Xiu was worried that Chen Xiangyang would not be able to remember, so he took a piece of paper and wrote it down, and wrote that he needed to buy 500 catties of quicklime, Mu Xiu believed that Chen Xiangyang would definitely be able to buy lime.
Originally, I wanted Chen Xiangyang to buy some crab seedlings, but after thinking about it, things are often fast, so take your time.
"Okay, when I buy it back, I want you to guide me." Chen Xiangyang patted Mu Xiu's shoulder.
