Chapter Seventy-Six: Fish Farming and Silt Dams
What Wang Manyin didn't expect was that he only released fish in the Dongla River twice, which made the villagers have other ideas.
The next day, he worked in the production team and was arranged into the manure transportation team and partnered with Liu Xiangyang.
It looks dirty, but it's easy and doesn't require much effort. Time is also free, and no one cares how fast or slow you do.
In this way, the two of them loaded a cart of soil and dung for a long time.
Wang Manyin drove the donkey cart in front, and Liu Xiangyang followed all the way behind, beckoning not to let the dung be spilled.
When I got to the ground, I unloaded a cart of dung.
Wang Manyin was just about to drive the donkey back, but was stopped by Wang Lianshun.
"Man Yin, don't be in a hurry, you two smoke a bag of cigarettes with me." The old man said, shaking the long cigarette stick in his hand.
"Okay," Liu Xiangyang immediately agreed, skillfully took out a cigarette and handed it over.
Wang Manyin was a little speechless: Sure enough, the environment can change people.
Liu Xiangyang, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, has only joined the production team for less than three months, and he has also learned to grind foreign workers.
But for this kind of thing, he naturally won't refuse.
People are inert and can rest and earn their work, who wants to work stupidly?
"Let's go over there and smoke it, so that people can see that the impact is not good." Wang Lianshun pointed to a mound, not far from the cliff.
It's a good place to get warm.
When he got to the place, he sat on the loess mound.
After smoking a few puffs of dry tobacco in succession, Wang Lianshun moved his mouth and didn't say anything.
In the end, he said to Liu Xiangyang: "Xiangyang, let's talk about it." I'm stupid, I'm afraid I can't speak clearly. ”
Seeing this situation, Wang Manyin understood.
The two shouted that he was smoking, not just a foreign worker, but also something to say.
Wang Manyin's face was not obvious, but his heart was full of muttering, carefully pondering whether he had done anything out of the ordinary recently.
He's a bit of a pawn now.
It seems that except for releasing fish into the Dongla River twice, he has always been quite low-key. Regarding the limelight in the village, Wang Manyin stayed away.
Bring an ear to the meeting, listen honestly, and focus on participation.
What's more, he did it very secretly, and he was 100% sure that no one knew.
Without waiting for Wang Manyin to guess, Liu Xiangyang had already spoken.
"Brother Wang, what do you think of our second production team digging fish ponds and raising fish...... Can you feed fish in winter? ”
"Uncle Lian Shun, are you going to raise fish?" Wang Manyin's eyes widened, "Old man, I always thought you didn't like tossing, but I didn't expect Leng Buding to plan to put a big satellite." ”
", what kind of big satellite should I put on. It's just a toss like a long army...... Can fish farming make everyone really eat meat, can it be the same? ”
mentioned the captain Wang Manjun, Wang Lianshun said with some disdain.
This person actively takes the lead in everything he does, and he took the members to be busy for a year last year. At the end of the year, dividends are calculated, and a team of workers is only worth four cents, which makes many members scold their mothers behind their backs.
If it weren't for his brother being the secretary of the brigade, Wang Manjun, the captain of the production team, would have been taken down long ago.
Hearing this, Wang Manyin realized that he had underestimated Wang Lianshun.
Don't look at people who don't usually talk much, but they have something else in their stomachs, and they know very well what things are.
The old man got to the point at once: raising fish can make everyone eat meat. Because no one in the Shibijie commune has ever raised fish, this is a new thing, and there is no need to sell it to food stations.
In this way, there is more room for operation.
"Manyin, you are well-informed in the village. To be honest, it's too cold here in winter, can we raise fish? This matter was mentioned by Liu Xiangyang...... The key is that we haven't done it before, and I don't have a score in my heart, so I'll ask you to sum it up. If not, I won't waste money and money, and I won't be scolded behind my back. ”
Wang Lianshun asked again.
After so many things, Wang Manyin's character in the village gradually stood up. Everyone thinks that he has been out running for a few years and has seen a lot of things.
So when he encountered a problem, Wang Lianshun thought of him immediately.
"As long as you have a good source of water, fish farming will definitely work. In winter, the cold weather is not a problem, as long as the fish is cleared before the wax moon. ”
Wang Manyin didn't go around in circles and gave a positive answer directly.
In the 80s in the original book, there were people in Shuangshui Village who raised fish and made a fortune.
In order to increase the persuasiveness, Wang Manyin also gave an example: "Not only can we raise fish on the Loess Plateau, but even further north." People call it 'stick to beat the roe deer and scoop the fish, and the pheasant flies into the rice pot'. ”
However, it is important to note that the water surface in the Northeast is large and deep, so the fish in the water can survive the winter safely.
It is not possible to do this side of the tank village, and it is difficult to dig too deep in the fish pond without large machinery. In winter, if it freezes directly, many fish will freeze to death, so the pond must be cleared by the end of the year.
"That's right, when I wrote to my classmates in the Northeast, I also said that fish can be raised there, and many production teams will divide the fish at the end ......of the year," Liu Xiangyang nodded again.
"Then we'll have a meeting in two days to discuss digging a fish pond......"
"Wait, Uncle Lian Shun, fish farming is a side business, you'd better ask the attitude of the village about this, and see what Director Zhao says." Seeing that Wang Lianshun was about to go to the project with a slap of his head, Wang Manyin hurriedly interjected.
Whether the above will support it or not, this is the main question!
In these days, everything is centered on food. There are many things that even a large production team cannot do.
"It's done, I'm afraid of it, as long as I can let the members eat a few more taels of fish and meat at the end of the year, even if I wipe me, the production captain, I don't want to do it anyway. Besides, we didn't take it out to sell, and the fish farming was distributed to the members, which kind of side business is it. ”
Wang Manyin didn't expect that this old man was usually silent, but once he broke out, he was very responsible.
"Uncle Lian Shun, you can't say that. If Director Zhao does not agree and reports to the top, there will definitely be problems. Have you forgotten about the cotton seedlings in the commune next door? ”
In fact, attitudes towards side hustles are not uniform across localities. Some are more strictly managed, while others turn a blind eye.
It's still the same sentence: at this point, southerners are more flexible, and many production teams will secretly engage in side jobs.
The famous "chicken feathers for sugar" in later generations was not completely banned in this era.
Those small traders and hawkers, also known as the "sugar knocking gang", roamed the streets and alleys every day with a flat burden and a rattle in their hands.
Later, statistics showed that there were thousands of people who went out to exchange chicken feathers for candy at that time.
And in the commune of Shibijie, such a thing simply cannot happen.
Taking the simplest work as an example, most of the jobs in the rural areas of the Loess Plateau are a few cents. Ten cents a full day, five cents is too much.
The production teams in the south that engage in sideline jobs can earn more than one yuan a day, even higher than the wages of urban workers.
As for what Wang Manyin said about cotton seedlings, it happened in the commune next door last year.
A production team planted a variety of cotton without permission, and was found and reported by the village officer...... In the end, the extra cotton seedlings were pulled out.
Before crossing over, Wang Manyin also saw an example on the Internet. Some directly cut down more than 10,000 peach trees in the entire orchard.
Therefore, it is a good thing that Wang Lianshun and Liu Xiangyang want to raise fish. I am afraid that the fish pond will be leveled after it has been built with great difficulty.
In the end, the people and money were lost, and they tossed blindly.
"Then what do you say??" Hearing Wang Manyin say this, Wang Lian lowered his tone.
If this is the case, it is better to honestly take the members to farm.
"Actually, we don't have fish...... It's about letting everyone silt the dikes, which is what is advocated from above. Rice is planted on silt land to increase food production. A small reservoir will be built next to it, which can be used to irrigate rice. Of course, it's normal to have some fish in it. ”
Wang Manyin thought for a while and answered.
Some things are put the other way around, and the resistance becomes different.
Hearing this, Wang Lianshun's eyes lit up: "Yes, the silt dam is good, and it can increase the grain production of our second team, so we can plant rice!" It makes sense. ”
