The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 22

The thick whitish soup and the pure aroma of wild crucian carp permeated the whole room, and Wang Shaodong and Ma Lili whetted their appetites.

In order to reassure the family, at Wang Shaodong's uncle's house, Ma Lili called the family.

After lunch, Ma Lili was anxious to go home, and then Wang Shaodong and Ma Lili went home with a bamboo basket carrying about ten catties of fish.The remaining bamboo basket was left to Zhao Shitang and Zhao Shihai.

After returning home, Ma Zhentang scolded Ma Lili a few words, but was stopped by Ma Lili's mother and did not say much.

My daughter hit me, it's not good to talk too much.

The time in the mountains is full of fun, and this is the life Wang Shaodong finally understands that he most wants to live.

After Wang Shaodong returned home, he lay on the bed, recalling the situation at the Shizi River just now, a small plan suddenly appeared in his heart.

In the upper reaches of the Shizi River, on the Zhangjia Depression in Qingquanling Village, there is a reservoir with an area of ​​seven or eight mu of water. It will be filled with water every summer when the rainy season comes, and the deepest part is four to five meters deep.However, the bottom of the reservoir is full of stones. In winter, all the river water will seep into the ground, and the reservoir will dry up.

If, in the next step, the bottom of the reservoir is cleaned, and the bottom of the reservoir is waterproofed, so that one-third of the water in the reservoir will remain in winter, then it will definitely be interesting to raise fish in it.

The Zhangjiawa Reservoir is located on the boundary of Qingquanling Village. It is inconvenient for a villager in Taohualing Village to contract there.However, this is not a problem. Let my uncle Zhao Shihai come forward to contract, and there will be no problem.

In my impression, the Zhangjiawa Reservoir has been left uncultivated, no one manages it, and no one pays attention to it, which is really a pity.

Zhangjiawa is surrounded by a large area of ​​uncultivated grassland, and there is a steady stream of feed for raising grass carp, so there is no need to worry at all.

But the problem now is that if this plan is to be implemented into reality, the required investment is not a small amount. It is impossible without 30 to 20. Therefore, Wang Shaodong needs to make a fuss about the chicken farm first and earn Only after taking the first pot of gold can we have a plan for the next step.

Upon waking up, Ma Lili came to look for Wang Shaodong.

Today is the day to go to Song Tao's house in Qishanguan Village, Huangzhuang Township to attend a class reunion. When Wang Shaodong saw Ma Lili's red eye circles, he became a little confused.

"What's the matter?" Wang Shaodong muttered while brushing his teeth by the vegetable garden on the east side of the patio.

Ma Lili pouted and said, "Dongzi, my father won't let me go to Song Tao's house today."

Wang Shaodong froze for a moment, thinking that Ma Zhentang must still be angry about the fact that Ma Lili followed him to his uncle's house for dinner yesterday.As a father, it is normal to always worry about your daughter's disadvantages outside.However, this is obviously worried about him, which makes Wang Shaodong a little unhappy.

"How could your dad do this? We're not going to do other things. You girls won't let you drink when you go. What's wrong with your classmates getting together?"

After Wang Shaodong finished rinsing his mouth, he put his hips on his hips, with an unhappy expression on his face.

"Who knows what my dad thinks, always worrying about that, I'm not a kid anymore."

As a daughter, not many can understand her father's hard work.

At this time, Ma Lili's mother walked into Wang Shaodong's house with a smile on her face, took Ma Lili's hand and said, "Lili, go home and have dinner."

"I'm not hungry." Ma Lili pouted, as if angry with her parents.

Ma Lili is an only child. Her parents have been looking forward to having a son, but her mother is not in good health and has never been able to achieve her wish.

The commonality of only children is that they have been spoiled and spoiled since childhood, and they have a somewhat petty temper.However, Ma Lili's personality is quite cheerful, and nothing happened after the incident.This point is much better than those who are endless and narrow-minded.

"Okay, Lili, I made your brother Dongzi laugh, your father promised you to follow your brother Dongzi to your classmate's house for a reunion."

When Ma Lili heard it, she immediately became happy, and looked at her mother with a smile on her face: "Really?"

Ma Lili's mother did not confirm with her daughter, but looked at Wang Shaodong and said, "Your sister Lili is stupid, take good care of her when you go together."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shaodong hurriedly nodded in agreement.

After breakfast, Wang Shaodong borrowed his father's 120 Qianjiang motorcycle, then drove Ma Lili, and set off in the direction of Qishanguan Village, Huangzhuang Township.

When Wang Shaodong and Ma Lili arrived at Song Tao's house, it was already 09:30 in the morning, and more than a dozen students near the house were already waiting at Song Tao's house.

In my memory, during the summer vacation of 2002, Wang Shaodong attended more than a dozen reunions of classmates.At that time, it was not popular to go to restaurants for class reunions. Usually, they would go to classmates' homes, and then parents would cook a few dishes, and twenty or thirty people would gather together.

Song Tao's house is located in an open space on the hillside of Qishan, with more than [-] bungalows built here and there, and there is a large fried chicken restaurant on Qishan.

After eleven o'clock in the morning, everyone arrived, and then everyone climbed Qishan first at Song Tao's suggestion.

Qishan is not high, only more than 200 meters, but it is a very famous mountain in Luzhong City, and it is one of the eight scenic spots in Luzhong.

The most famous dish on Qishan is Qishan Fried Chicken. It would be a pity not to eat Qishan Fried Chicken in Qishan.

There are ten people at a table, this time at Song Tao's house there are three tables in total, which is more than the number of people at Wang Shaodong's house.

This time, all eight girls in their class are here, and it seems that everyone's resistance to the temptation of delicious food is still very low.

Under normal circumstances, the number of people in the first two times after graduating from high school is the most complete, and then the number of people in the future decreases.After the results of the college entrance examination are released, it will be difficult to get together when we gather again.

Wang Shaodong saw that in a ravine to the south of Song Tao's courtyard, there was a chicken pen five or six times larger than the chicken pen at home, and dozens of ruby ​​roosters were scattered in it.

For Qishan fried chicken, most of the species used are Hongyu, which can grow to a very large size, and the largest one can weigh eight or nine catties.

Ten people, frying chicken and some vegetables around two large pots, is a very happy party.

During the meal, Meng Xiangang, a classmate of Qishanguan Village, told everyone that Song Tao's fried chicken shop was very profitable, selling 28 to [-] fried chickens a day.A chicken, on the dinner table, costs [-] yuan per catty, while the price of buying a live chicken is only thirteen or fourteen yuan, which is quite a profit.

Qishan Fried Chicken Restaurant doesn't want Wang Shaodong's young roosters that have only been raised for four or five months. What they want is old chickens that have been raised for at least ten months. Such chickens have the most mellow taste when stewed.

Hearing such information, Wang Shaodong began to think about it.

"The market price of a four- to five-month-old rooster is only six or seven yuan a catty, while the price of a live chicken of Qishan old chicken is thirteen or fourteen yuan per catty. I wonder if there is a future for old-age chickens?"

After five months of growth, the rooster eats only food and does not grow meat.Take Hongyu Chicken as an example, it weighs six catties at about five months old and consumes about twelve catties of grain.Then at ten months, the average weight can reach about eight catties, and the food consumption is about fifty catties.

The total number of old roosters consumed on Qishan in a year is more than 2002. It can be said that in [-], the supply should be in short supply.

If the five-month-old rooster is sold in wholesale, based on the current wholesale price of 5 yuan, a chicken can make a profit of 12 yuan.

Ten-month-old roosters are all sold to the fried chicken restaurant in Qishan. The price of one chicken should be robbed quickly for 13 yuan, and then the profit of one chicken can be 30 yuan.

It seems that there is a lot of money for old-age chickens.

After Wang Shaodong decided to go home, he discussed with his father the idea of ​​raising chickens.
