After several heavy rains, the water level of the pond is getting higher and higher, and the planting of lotus flowers has requirements for the water level.

Xia Li drained part of the water from the pond, and finally he took out the seeds that had been cultivated in the space.

He walked around the pond and threw the seeds of the daffodils into the edge of the pond near the water.

It's just that this lotus seed is a little troublesome, mainly because you have to go to the water to throw the lotus seed into the right place.

Xia Li moved the idea of making two small boats, not only can you use it when you are busy working on the water, but you can also sail between the blue lotus leaves when the time comes, which also has a unique flavor.

I thought of it, and the next day Xia Li began to look for suitable wood to make.

He now likes the carpentry skills he learned before, although he can't make a lot of money, but it is more convenient, what tools he needs, he can directly start making them himself, and he doesn't need to ask for help.

There is a carpentry at home, and it is easy to make, so I first found a pencil for Yaya to write and drew a sample drawing, in order to make the first strong.

The planks on the bottom of the boat are made of three-finger thick red pine, which itself contains a lot of lipids, and can be easily treated to isolate the water source, and it is safer to paint it on the outside.

It took three days to make a two-bladed boat, one of which was just a simple hull and two oars, and a shed was built on the other, which was the black boat mentioned in the book.

In order to ensure that the bottoms of the two boats would not rot and be soft due to long-term immersion in the pond, he also went to the grocery store in the town and bought two large iron sheets to wrap the outside of the hulls of the two boats, so that no water would penetrate into them.

In the end, he also ingeniously cut some thick bamboo from the mountain to make two bamboo rows, and made them to be placed on the edge of the pond.

When the two boats were ready to test the water, Xia Li sat on it alone and rowed around, feeling that everything was normal and rowing back.

A group of children on the shore of the small bank exploded, and they all shouted to sit down and walk around the water.

These children have been playing with Yaya for a long time, so they have naturally been in contact with Xia Li for a long time, and they all feel that Yaya's uncle is actually just big, not terrible.

Children are the simplest and most accurate in seeing people and things, and they can often point directly to people's hearts and accurately feel whether it is really good or false.

Unlike adults, who have long been blinded by worldly things, they can't accurately recognize a person's true intentions due to their own or environmental reasons.

Xia Li was not in a hurry to sprinkle lotus seeds into the pond now, so he first drove Yaya and her playmates to the pond for a spin.

It was the first time they had been on a boat, and now they were a little excited to sit on the boat, yelling and yelling on it.

The giant turtle that had been put into the water a long time ago also floated up from the bottom of the water and circled around the side of the boat, stretching its neck to look at Xia Li eagerly.

The girl secretly reached out and touched the armor on its back, and shrank back like a frightened little monkey.

Feeling that he was almost finished, Xia Li took out the seeds and sprinkled them into the water, because he was the only one, and it took him a lot of effort to scatter such a large pond while rowing.

After getting it done, looking at the pond with a low water level, there is no hurry, the most important thing in this season is rain, Xia Li believes that there is no need to fill it with water at all, and it will be full in a few rains.

When digging the pond at that time, everyone knew that Xia Li dug the pond to raise fish, and someone had already taken advantage of this opportunity and secretly stuffed his business card.

Xia Li dug out the business card of the previous fish seller from the drawer, and after contacting him, he left on a motorcycle.

The destination is not close, and they are almost out of Zhusha Township, which is also a pond dug by hand in a rural area.

The ponds are not large, but there are quite a few, large and small, and there are more than a dozen of them, surrounding a two-story bungalow in the middle.

As soon as Xia Li's car stopped, a big wolf dog tied to the door barked wildly.

Then a middle-aged man came out of the house, saw the tall Xia Li, and hurriedly scolded the barking wolf dog.

He put on a smile and said to Xia Li: "It's this brother's call, right?" ”

Xia Li nodded.

The middle-aged man came up and shook hands with Xia Li, and introduced himself as Wu Daodao,

Xia left the door and said, "Where are the fry?" I didn't think I'd better look at the fry first. ”

Wu Dao smiled: "Okay, let's look at the fish fry first." These fish ponds are full of fish fry, and a fish pond is a species. ”

The two walked over and looked at them one by one, and Wu Dao introduced in the back: "This is grass carp, well, I won't introduce it much, I believe my brother also knows, it is the most common fish in our place, and it is also the best-selling fish." ”

Xia Li nodded, and continued to look at the next one, Wu Daguo introduced: "This is catfish, which is also common here for us, and it is the same as grass carp, which is easy to feed!" ”

Xia Li looked at the pools one by one, and he introduced them one by one, but when he arrived at a smaller pool, he didn't introduce them.

This aroused Xia Li's curiosity, and he stopped in front of the pool and asked, "What kind of fish is this?" ”

"Oh, this is a black fish, it's just that it's hard to feed us here, and they're still too small, so the survival rate might be low in another environment."

The reason why Wu Dao ignored this and did not introduce it was deliberate.

Although he hadn't seen him before, he had heard from his relatives in the village.

From the information he got from his relatives, he concluded that Xia Li was not a fish farmer at all, so he only dared to introduce some fish that were easy to raise and could survive locally.

The kind of one that is difficult to raise and has high technical requirements, he doesn't want to introduce it to Xia Li, and when the time comes, he won't be able to support it, and he will not only smash his own signboard.

Xia Li's heart moved after hearing this, this kind of black fish has been very popular in recent years, ranging from a dozen yuan to dozens of yuan per catty.

But as Wu Dao said, it is not easy to feed, so it has always been in short supply, the price of a bowl of black fish on the table is rising, Xia Li has eaten it once before, and a plate costs more than four hundred.

Just because it's hard to feed others doesn't mean it's hard to feed yourself, Xia Li has already moved his mind to raise some.

After looking at more than a dozen fish ponds, Xia Li asked, "Can these fish be kept together?" ”

Wu Gang replied without thinking about it: "Yes, these are all herbivorous fish, and there is no mutual slaughter between them, as long as you are given enough food."

Feed some grass and you'll be fine. "What he's talking about is not including blackfish.

"What about Blackfish?" Xia Li asked.

"Blackfish?"

Wu Dao hesitated for a moment and said, "The black fish is still too small now, and it will usually be bought by someone when it grows to a finger length in my place, and it is too small to feed it when I go back." ”
