The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 72 The idea of ​​raising fish with chicken manure

Ever since he was reborn, Wang Shaodong has been thinking about one question, which is how to deal with chicken manure.

Small-scale chicken manure can be sold to apple orchard contractors, and there are indeed many apple orchard growers around.However, when Wang Shaodong's chicken farm is large enough, it is obviously too inefficient to treat chicken manure in this way.

When catching crabs last night, Wang Shaodong looked at the huge Longmen Valley and suddenly felt that if a barrage was built under the valley and a reservoir was built, fruit trees were planted on both sides of the reservoir, fish seedlings were raised in the reservoir, and chicken manure was sprinkled into the reservoir Inside, not only can it be used as feed for fish, but it can also be used as fertilizer for growing lotus root.After catching fish and digging lotus root in winter, the silt under the reservoir can be dug out, which can be used as fertilizer for fruit trees.

This is a bit like the mulberry fish pond summed up by the ancient people in our country. The fish pond is still the same fish pond, and then the mulberry trees around the fish pond become fruit trees, and the silkworm raising becomes chicken raising.

Ecological agriculture has been called for many years, but in Wang Shaodong's memory, there are not many agricultural enterprises that have really implemented it.

This is an attempt. After success, it may be promoted nationwide like the mulberry fish pond in those years.

Hearing Wang Shaodong's question about whether chicken manure can raise chickens, Wang Fumin frowned and looked at Su Yulong's wife and Liu Yujiang's wife next to him.

The two hired workers worked very hard. After all, 15 yuan a day was not a low wage at that time.

"Why are you asking this?"

Wang Fumin did not understand his son's purpose.

"Dad, we have too much chicken manure. If we don't get rid of it quickly, the whole breeding community will stink. I thought, if chicken manure can raise fish, we can build a fish pond and then take our chicken manure. Feed fish."

Wang Shaodong did not introduce the specific implementation plan in detail, but simply talked about his own thinking and watched his father's reaction.

What Wang Shaodong saw from his father Wang Fumin's eyes was contempt, even a little contempt.

"I said, son, don't think about those things that are useful or useless all day long. We chicken farmers just need to raise their own chickens well. Don't worry about the chicken manure? Those apple growers are eager for our chicken manure."

The wife of Liu Yujiang next to him frowned, looked at Wang Fumin and said, "Brother Fumin, don't tell me, it's really feasible to raise chickens with chicken dung. My natal family used to build ponds to raise fish, and the chicken dung in the chicken coop usually Ah, sprinkle them all into the pond, those fish will grow well."

Hearing someone nearby supporting his son's statement, Wang Fumin opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.

"Aunt Yujiang, is it really feasible to raise chickens with chicken manure?"

Wang Shaodong was overjoyed to hear that there was an expert beside him.

"It's feasible, it's completely feasible. Chicken manure can completely replace fish feed. Chicken manure contains a lot of undigested food, which can be directly used as fish feed, and chicken manure fertilizer can also make the aquatic plants in the pond grow more luxuriantly. It increases the fish feed in the pond, and it is very cost-effective and convenient to use chicken manure for fish farming.”

Wang Shaodong clapped his hands happily, and said: "Great, Dad, since chicken manure can raise fish, let's block the valley in Wujiayuzi and create a large reservoir. Next, we will directly use our chicken manure to raise fish. How good it is to raise fish in the reservoir.”

Su Yulong's wife next to him understood Wang Shaodong's thoughts, nodded and said, "Brother Fumin, look at this nephew, he really has a brain."

However, Wang Fumin frowned at this time: "Stop Wujiayuzi? How much would it cost?"

Wang Shaodong conservatively estimated that it would cost at least 10,000+ to block the Wujiayuzi valley out of a reservoir, but it is also very cost-effective to block a 300-mu reservoir with a barrage.

More importantly, although Wujiayuzi is a ravine, the downstream of the ravine is relatively flat and the exit is narrow. The cost of building a reservoir is not very high. After the reservoir is completed, the shallow water area is large and the average water depth is less than seven meters. At the same time as fish, lotus roots are planted in shallow water.

More importantly, the two sides of Wujiayuzi are very suitable for the development of fruit forestry, and the wives of Liu Yujiang and Su Yulong, who are currently contracting Wujiayuzi, are working in the Wang family, and it is easier to discuss the next step of subcontracting.

The entire Wujiayuzi covers an area of ​​more than 300 mu, including [-] mu of mountainous land and [-] mu of flat land in the valley. Because the valley and flat land are flooded every year after flash floods, no one in these places is willing to farm. Su Yulong was two contractors, and there was no harvest for two of the three years, and the rest of the year, the harvest was very little.

Gradually, Liu Yujiang and Su Yulong also lost their desire to make money from the valley, and they stopped managing the fruit trees planted on the mountain, and went outside to work.

In the first few days, Su Yulong and Liu Yujiang came back for a few days, but these days, they went to the big southern cities again.

"Around 20 million."

Hearing Wang Shaodong's valuation, Su Yulong's wife swallowed hard.

20, dare to shout 20, which shows that the Wang family has this money.

It is now spread in the village that the Wang family received at least millions of benefits because of the college entrance examination.Anyway, the matter of the college entrance examination is getting more and more outrageous in the village.

All of a sudden, Wang Fumin became a prominent figure in Taohualing Village.

Wang Fumin also swallowed.

The family's money totaled 10,000+, and now it is basically invested in the chicken farm. 2 chickens, even if the chicks and feed are cheap, but it is still possible to invest 4 yuan for a chicken to be slaughtered.In other words, when the 10 chicks are ready for slaughter, they will need to invest at least 2.In addition, it cost 4 yuan to install two sets of cage chicken raising equipment; plus 24 chickens in another shed, basically all the money in the hands of the Wang family was invested.

There is only so much money, and it is all invested in the chicken farm. How can there be any money to invest in some kind of reservoir.

Besides, the people of Taohualing Village have raised this chicken for generations, but few families have raised this fish.

"Go, go, talk nonsense, how can our family have so much money." Wang Fumin waved his hands repeatedly.

When Wang Shaodong saw his father say this, he stuck out his tongue, and then said with a smile: "Dad, I am joking with you, do you still take it seriously?"

In fact, in Wang Shaodong's mind, the prototype of a large-scale review ecological agriculture company is slowly taking shape.

Wang Shaodong saw hesitation in his father's eyes, and what his father hesitated was probably just the cost of investing in the construction of the reservoir.And these, at the end of the year, after the Wang Family Chicken Farm sells the chickens, it will not be a problem at all.
