When he came to the supply and marketing cooperatives to deliver eggs, Wang Manyin went to Guo Chaowang's house as usual.

After meeting Director Guo's mother-in-law and aunt, he sent more than a dozen live crucian carp, only saying that they were caught from the Dongla River.

Now the news that there are fish in the Dongla River has become an explosive news that has spread throughout the Shibi Festival commune.

These days, not only a few villages along the river, but also idlers in the commune guard the river to catch fish. Even the Xingshu River, a tributary of the Dongla River, has been found in the Xingshu River.

So in the face of the crucian carp sent by Wang Manyin, Guo Chaowang's mother-in-law naturally had no doubts.

And she is still very satisfied in her heart, thinking that this person knows how to repay her kindness, when can she blow the pillow wind to her husband again.

Last year, the supply and marketing cooperatives engaged in "serving members and delivering goods to the countryside" and set up several consignment points under the Shibijie Commune.

In addition to Jar Village, there are several villages such as Xiashan Village and Tsubaki Pass.

But these consignees usually don't even see a shadow, and they don't even come to sit at home for the New Year. If there was no Wang Manyin to compare, Aunt Guo Chaowang didn't think anything, but now she has an idea.

A few days ago, she heard from her husband that Shuangshui Murata Futang came to react and wanted to open a sales outlet in the village to facilitate the daily needs of the members.

I'm going to stop this...... Wang Manyin mentioned it before, Shuangshui Village and Jar Village are next to each other, and usually people in Shuangshui Village go to his house to buy anything they lack.

"Man Yin, I'll go back and tell your uncle that only one consignment point in Jar Village and Shuangshui Village is enough, and no one will open a second ......"

"Thank you, auntie," Wang Manyin was stunned at first, and then hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

After a few more gossips, he got up and left.

He also didn't expect that if he sent a few crucian carp, there would be an unexpected harvest.

The conscience of heaven and earth, I really don't have any purpose this time, I just strengthen the relationship on a daily basis.

For Wang Manyin, he will live in Jarzi Village for a long time in the future, and the relationship between Director Guo's family naturally needs to be maintained for a long time.

Human affection is a bit vulgar in the past, but it is inevitable.

If you don't usually burn incense, it will be too late to cram when the matter comes.

In addition, when the brother-in-law returns from the training in the county, he has to rely on others to help arrange it.

After the matter was done, Wang Manyin did not stay in the commune.

On the way home, he found a remote cliffside as usual, and disappeared.

These past few days, I have been busy, and every time I enter and exit the space, I have not had time to carefully check the specific situation inside.

Standing on the edge of the lush reeds, Wang Manyin looked at the fish scurrying on the water, and continued to be happy and helpless.

Since he started farming fish, he has not stopped digging ponds.

As long as you have free time, you always have to keep busy with a shovel for a while.

On and off for a few months, the area of the pond expanded to more than 300 square meters, and in many places it was about a meter. However, it is still too small for a rapidly expanding fish stock.

In the past half a month, Wang Manyin has released hundreds of catties of trash fish into the Dongla River. But the fish in the pond are growing and reproducing at an alarming rate, and show no signs of decreasing.

I can't often take fish out to eat, so it's too wasteful to keep it like this.

As for going to Mijia Town to find Li Ping to sell it...... The other party said that there were as many as they wanted, but the key was that Wang Manyin didn't dare to do it.

When he went to the black market to trade, he always put safety first. Especially since the beginning of spring, the rectification of the black market near Yuanxi County has become more and more strict.

Selling fish every two or three months is already the limit, and too often can easily cause unnecessary trouble.

I am not short of money now, so it is better to be careful.

Thinking about it, Wang Manyin decided to have the opportunity to continue to release trash fish into the Dongla River...... It can also be regarded as adding some meat to the people in several villages along the coast.

In fact, every time he releases fish, he is restrained, and he only gets a hundred catties at a time. This seems to be a lot, but on average, it is tens of miles long in the Dongla River, which is very inconspicuous.

What's more, there are still several tributaries of the Dongla River.

After going around the pond for a week, Wang Manyin went to check the licorice field again. He had just inquired at the supply and marketing cooperative, and the dried licorice cost a pound and a dime.

These should also be able to be sold in the space.

When he came to the edge of the field, he picked up a shovel and dug one tentatively.

Everything is expected, and the unique environment of the space has a great effect on the growth of plants. This piece of licorice has only been planted for four months, and it has grown to the thickness of a thumb.

Wang Manyin dug more than a meter deep into the ground, but still did not see the roots of licorice. The whole strip is dug up and dried, and it is estimated that it can weigh a pound.

According to this yield estimate, this piece can produce at least 100 catties, and it is 10 yuan for drying...... It doesn't seem like much, but it's a long-term and stable money-making project.

As long as you keep growing licorice, you can continue to produce it.

More importantly, this way of making money is much safer than selling fish, and it can be digested directly by its own sales point.

Planting a few points of land in the space and digging a few stubbles a year is estimated to have an income of hundreds of yuan. It is worth a year's dividends for the members of the production team.

The only thing that's not so good is that digging licorice is a hard job.

If you count the sale of eggs and fish, your own family will steadily break 1,000 yuan a year. In this era, this income has definitely beaten countless people.

Wang Manyin has no intention of becoming a 10,000-yuan household immediately, so he is naturally very satisfied with this.

To be honest, there are really tens of thousands of dollars, and it is difficult to spend them.

Wait a minute...... Grasshoppers, how can there be grasshoppers in space?

He was thinking about a bright future, when he suddenly saw a grass-green pointed grasshopper lying on a licorice leaf not far ahead.

Wang Manyin thought that he was dazzled, and he had never introduced this insect into it.

The pointed grasshopper is called the old flat dan or flat dan hook on the Loess Plateau, with a pointed head and a slender body, which can grow up to ten centimeters at most.

It is also a rare meat, and it is a favorite of rural children. When it is cooked in a fire, it is charred in color and can taste chicken.

Wang Manyin thought for a moment and felt that it might be the insect eggs that he inadvertently brought in when transplanting plants before.

This discovery also made him nervous. In the words of later generations, "if you find a cockroach in your home, there may be countless of them."

The same applies to this sentence of grasshoppers, which generally do not exist in isolation.

Wang Manyin carefully searched the whole licorice field, and sure enough, he caught two more grasshoppers.

Then, he walked into the sweet potato field not far away.

Outside, spring sweet potatoes are only planted in April and May, and the second crop in the space has grown into a large green patch.

He had just taken a few steps in the sweet potato field when he immediately startled a few insects to stagger and run.

I'm Nima! Wang Manyin scolded directly.

In addition to grasshoppers, a species of locust called a bandit head was also seen.

Patrol the entire sweet potato field to one side, and catch up hundreds of them.

The development of the space had been going smoothly before, and Wang Manyin really didn't take into account the unexpected situation. Before I knew it, the grasshoppers had multiplied on such a large scale that I didn't even know anything about it.

This thing can reproduce two or three generations a year in the wild. If you change to a spatial environment, you may reproduce faster.

They must be removed as soon as possible, or they will have a catastrophic impact on space if they are allowed to develop.

Wang Manyin's first thought was to spray pesticides, and then vetoed them. It's hard for individuals to buy pesticides now, and even if they can, they can't do it.

The space environment affects the whole body, and it is likely to affect other animals at that time.

After thinking about it, biological control can only be adopted.

Locust-eating animals are common on the Loess Plateau, except for birds, which are frogs.

Unfortunately, this season, the frogs are still hibernating, and they will not appear until April and May.

As for the birds...... There are now more than a dozen rock pigeons in the space, plus a large flock of chickens. Theoretically, as long as they are released, the locusts will be eaten clean in minutes.

Unfortunately, these birds eat not only insects, but also crops.

If they are kept free-range in the space, it is estimated that the locusts will not eat much, but they will harm the crops in the space.

So, I had to catch other birds from the outside.

Wang Manyin really thought of one, that is, the common cliff sand swallow on the Loess Plateau.

It is also a bird of the genus Swallow family, which looks very similar to the house swallow, but is slightly smaller.

Unlike the house swallow that makes a nest in the cave, the cliff sand swallow mainly uses a sharp beak to dig a hole on the cliff side as a nest, and the hole is oval, about the size of a teacup.

What's more, this thing lives in groups.

In late spring and early summer, you can often see the cliffs by the Dongla River that are carved into big holes and small eyes, which are the nests of the cliff swallows.

Many people think that swallows only eat flying insects, but in fact, they are just better at hunting in the air.

Like locusts, grasshoppers, and beetles, both house swallows and cliff swallows eat them.

However, they are also migratory birds, and it will take a few more days before they return to the Loess Plateau.

Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is to use manual capture of these locusts.
