Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 38 The Wild Pond Behind the Mountain
Niu Xiaodong saw that Niu Xiaoqiang hesitated, and immediately persuaded him: "Brother Qiang, you are a smart person, you must have a solution, right? Don't worry, we will do our best to help you this time, and we will never let you alone if something happens. People are responsible, as long as we can get meat, we will listen to you in the future, if it doesn’t work, let’s take the sow to the mountain again.”

"Nonsense, this is absolutely impossible. If I use this method again, I will be beaten to death by my father." Niu Xiaoqiang looked at his parents who were chatting with the neighbors, and said in a low voice, "Let's go, let's find a place where no one is around."

Soon, the four of them came to the small woods behind the village. Niu Xiaoqiang looked around to see if there was no one around, and then he said, "I've already thought of other ways, but it's a bit tiring. I'm worried that you won't want to."

Niu Xiaoyong licked his lips: "Brother Qiang, just tell us what you can do, we will definitely obey your orders."

Niu Xiaodong and Niu Huahua echoed each other repeatedly, Niu Xiaoqiang no longer concealed anything, and said what he thought of: "You all know the wild pond in the back mountain, right?"

"I know."

"I went there a few days ago when I was grazing cattle, and found that the water in the pond was very turbid. The book said that if the water is clear, there will be no fish. Since the water in the wild pond is very turbid, it means that there must be fish in the pond. You can start here."

Fish is also meat, and if you make soup, it is much more delicious than pork, but thinking of the size of the wild pond, Niu Huahua and the three of them all showed hesitation.

The wild pond that Niu Xiaoqiang mentioned is quite large, covering more than ten mu.Because it is deserted and there is no mountain road, the mountain people did not pay attention to this wild pond. If someone did not mention it specially, many people would not remember it.

"Brother Qiang, how can we catch fish in such a big pond?"

"It would be much more convenient if there were fishing nets, but we are all so poor that we can't even afford a popsicle, let alone a fishing net."

"Brother Xiaoqiang, don't you want to dig the gap and drain the water before fishing? How much labor will it cost? It's just the four of us, can it work?"

Niu Xiaoqiang shook his head: "It's not the four of us, but the three of you. As for me, I'm mainly in charge of directing, and you will do the specific things. If it doesn't work, I will help."

The three of them were all dumbfounded when they heard this, speechless.

"Don't worry, I will definitely think of the most time-saving method, and I won't exhaust you to death. Let's go and have a look tomorrow morning, and then we can start after we determine the specific method."

After Niu Xiaoqiang finished speaking, he turned and went home, leaving Niu Huahua and the other three, you look at me and I look at you.In order to be able to eat meat, the three finally gritted their teeth and decided to fuck the fuck.

In the early morning of the next day, just as a white belly appeared in the sky, Niu Xiaoqiang and his four rode their own cattle towards the wild pond behind the mountain.

Since there is no mountain road connecting them, the four of them can only find their way among the thorns.If it weren't for riding a bull, it would have been more difficult for them to climb over the mountain.

After walking for nearly an hour, the four finally arrived at their destination.The weeds near the pond were very luxuriant. The four of them threw away the rope and let the cattle graze by themselves, while they rolled up their trouser legs and walked to the pond.

Although the three of Niu Xiaodong had already estimated the difficulty of the project, after seeing the area of ​​more than ten acres with their own eyes, they still felt powerless.

Some people may find it very strange: Isn’t it enough to dig a hole to release water?This doesn't seem like much effort, does it?

In fact, this wild pond is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only one side can be excavated.Moreover, the terrain on this side is very high, more than five meters higher than the water level of the pond. It would take a lot of work to dig a gap here.

Niu Xiaoqiang knew what the three of them were thinking without looking at their faces. He said first: "Don't be intimidated by the size of this wild pond. In fact, the water here is not too deep. The amount of work we need to complete Not too big."

Niu Xiaodong couldn't help asking: "Brother Qiang, what do you want to do?"

Niu Xiaoqiang took out the simple drawing drawn last night from his pocket, which showed the outline of the wild pond and divided it with dotted lines: "Do you see these dotted lines? This is the dividing line I planned. Let's follow the Start work on the dotted line, divide the wild pond into two parts by means of a cofferdam, first dig a gap in the outer part, drain the water inside to catch fish, and after the fish are caught, the remaining half of the wild pond water can be used Putting it outside, that is to say, we have to build a dam in the middle of the wild pond."

Niu Xiaoyong immediately put forward a different opinion: "Brother Qiang, why don't we just drain the entire pond and build dikes to divide it? Wouldn't this increase the workload?"

Niu Xiaoqiang explained: "Of course there is a reason for this. First of all, it is summer and the weather is so hot. If we drain the water all at once, what should we do with the fish in it? I'm afraid that before we finish eating, we will eat it." Will it stink?"

The three of them all showed a look of sudden realization, and nodded in agreement.

Niu Xiaoqiang continued: "Secondly, I have another idea."

"what idea?"

"I think this place is very hidden. You can try to raise fish here. As long as it succeeds, it will be very easy for us to eat fish in the future."

There are very few ponds in this mountainous area. Near Niujia Village, there is only one reservoir in the valley in front of the village. This was dug out by hand when the large collective was established, mainly for the convenience of the villagers. They store water for irrigation.

In addition, the nearest pond is the wild pond behind the mountain.Because there is too little arable land near this wild pond, and the roads are impassable, no one came to reclaim the wasteland, and it has been forgotten all the time.

Because of the lack of necessary basic conditions, the people in Niujia Village have never thought about raising fish. The three of Niu Xiaodong were stunned for a moment before they realized it, and they all clapped their hands and said:
"Yes, if we raise fish, we will be able to eat fish frequently in the future!"

"Not bad, this idea is very good, I agree!"

"I agree too!"

Seeing the happy faces of his friends, Niu Xiaoqiang smiled, and threw out a more ambitious plan he was conceiving: "Everyone, besides raising fish, I actually have a more daring plan."

The three of them were basically convinced of Niu Xiaoqiang. Hearing this, Niu Huahua immediately asked, "Brother Xiaoqiang, do you have any bold plans?"

Niu Xiaoqiang glanced at the environment around the pond, and said with a smile: "I think if I can build a farm here, I think the income will be very good."

"Building a farm? This...is this too exaggerated?"

"Is it the same model as the cooperative?"

"Brother Xiaoqiang, are you sure you're not joking?"
