Chapter 24 Going to the Reservoir to Catch Fish

Nothing to do.

He walked to a small private plot next to the house, and his mind was moved.

The soil surged up, and in an instant, the frozen and solid soil became loose.

Digging the space is not only fast, but also can control the depth of the excavation, and even the ditches on the side can be repaired according to the intention.

"Try to transplant some of the wheat seedlings in the space, this is food on the bright side."

White flour processed from wheat is fine grains, which include white flour, rice, etc.

One catty of fine grains can be exchanged for three to five catties of coarse grains, which include cornmeal, sorghum noodles, and millet.

With a slight thought, wheat seedlings about ten centimeters high were planted in the field.

It is patchwork, and not as sparse as the wheat seedlings that originally grew on the land a few days ago.

"I hope the space wheat seedlings can adapt to the growing environment outside, don't let me lose the chain!"

Next, Jiang Ping'an planted wheat seedlings in some small corner fields.

Looking at the number alone, it is not very conspicuous, but the front and back of the house, and the surrounding corners add up to five or six parts of the land.

"It's almost done. The remaining private land will be used to grow vegetables or other agricultural products after the next spring."

"Go to the reservoir to catch fish!" Jiang Pingan carried Heizi to the reservoir of the production team.

After walking for more than 20 minutes, we came to the embankment of the Shangshui Village Reservoir.

Although there was no snow and the sun was still out, the wind was very strong and it was icy cold.

Jiang Pingan put down Hei Zi, who was in his hand, and looked around.

It was found that there was very little water in the reservoir, and it was almost bottoming out, and a thick layer of ice formed on the surface.

However, the reservoir is very large, and even if the water level is low, there is still a lot of water in it.

If it is summer and autumn, the farmland needs a lot of water for irrigation, and the reservoir will be guarded, but not in winter.

The seven species of fish that are most raised in the reservoir are grass carp, carp, crucian carp, bighead carp, white striped carp, silver carp and perch.

"Go down and have a look. The big fish have been caught by the production team. Even if there are, there will not be too many left. There must be a lot of small fish."

The size of the fish doesn't matter to Jiang Ping'an, as long as he can catch the fish.

The reservoir has only been repaired a few years ago. There are stone stairs going down, and the snow is soft and slippery, making it difficult to walk.

Jiang Ping'an walked down the stone ladder, approached the water surface, and used spatial sensing.

With him as the center, everything within a radius of [-] meters up, down, left, and right is in his perception, showing every detail.

"If this function is used for treasure hunting and prospecting, it will be beneficial everywhere." Jiang Ping'an thought to himself.

"Sure enough, there are fish, and there are a lot of them!" His face brightened.

The temperature is low in winter, and the fish in weir ponds usually gather in groups.

For example, areas with thick grass, under cattail grass, places with deep water, etc.

However, the water area of ​​the reservoir is wide, and the fish in it are relatively scattered.

Grassy shoals, old rivers at the water inlet, Erdaokan near the deep water area, sunny and leeward Dawan, reed marshes, etc.

They will not all live in one place for the winter, but will be divided into regions and not concentrated like weir ponds.

"Catch fish first, then fill with water!" Jiang Ping'an thought to himself. It is better to use space spring water to raise fish in space.

However, the water in the reservoir should also be stored in the space, after all, the water from the space spring cannot be taken out.

Only real water, cooking and boiling water, can be taken out and used at any time, so it is necessary to store some.

"To raise aquatic products, one must first plan the space well."

With a thought, earth-shaking changes occurred in the space.

Although the land area in the space is only ten acres, the crops inside are not affected by the natural environment such as sunlight.

As long as there is space for spring water to provide nutrients, crops can thrive, which gave Jiang Pingan great convenience.

The ten mu of land was immediately divided into three areas, of which the planting area occupied six mu, and the breeding area and forest farm each occupied two mu.

Strong and smooth large mud pillars rose from the ground one by one, supporting the thick soil layer.

The pillars are hollow, continuously transporting space spring water nutrients to the soil layer and nourishing the land.

The soil layer of each floor in the breeding area is one foot thick, the soil layer in the planting area is two feet thick, and the soil layer in the forest farm is three feet thick.

There are trees planted in the forest farm, and the interval in the middle is the highest, as high as five feet, while the interval in other areas is only one foot.

So even if Jiang Ping'an didn't use space sensing and just stood on the edge of the forest farm, he could still watch other areas from a high position.

On these floors, the time ratio can be adjusted individually for each area, which is very convenient.

The planting area has become a total of seven floors, and the lowest floor is the aquatic area, which is specially used for fish farming.

The upper six floors are respectively planted with wheat, corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, vegetables and grass.

Now that there are more animals in the space, it is necessary to expand the planting area of ​​green grass.

The breeding area has expanded to two acres of land, with a total of ten floors above and below, and the lower three floors are sheep and pigs, chickens and rabbits.

Seven floors are reserved for planting green grass first, and later used to raise horses, cows, camels, donkeys, sheep, ducks, geese and other livestock.

The forest farm expanded to two acres, with a total of seven floors.

Peach trees, persimmon trees, jujube trees, plum trees, pear trees, apple trees and hawthorn trees were planted respectively.

Among them, Jiang Ping'an's residence in the space was also placed beside the peach grove.

"Just build a house, it makes me feel better." Jiang Pingan thought.

In an instant, a small courtyard with mud walls and mud tiles covering an area of ​​half an acre, three main rooms and two side rooms was built.

The windows and furniture are all made of space soil, simple and natural, pleasing to the eye.

"In this way, if you lock Heizi in the yard in the future, you won't be afraid of it ruining the crops."

"Sixteen peaches have grown up and are about to bloom and bear fruit. It's only been a matter of two days."

"Don't rush to expand the fruit forest, after a wave of harvest, it will not be too late to expand."

After planning the space, Jiang Ping'an withdrew his mind, and moved the fish in the reservoir to the space fish pond as soon as he thought about it.

The fish are not big, the biggest ones only weigh seven or eight taels, most of them only weigh two or three or a few taels, and of course there are smaller ones.

Most of the big fish have been caught by the brigade, and even if there are fish that slip through the net, not many, and they are all hiding deep in the bottom of the water.

"Catch the small fish first, then search around carefully later, catch a few big fish and bring them back to eat."

Jiang Ping'an didn't catch too many. He caught dozens of grass carp, carp, crucian carp, bighead carp, white striped carp, silver carp, and perch each.

At the same time, some cattail grass, aquatic plants, moss, duckweed, snails, small river shrimp, etc. were put in the fish pond for the fish to eat.

"You can also put some cornmeal, bran and other grains for the fish to eat." According to Jiang Ping'an's idea, the space will automatically feed.

"Huh? There are six soft-shelled turtles over there? Isn't that too big? One at least weighs twenty or thirty catties!"

Six soft-shelled turtles dived into the mud on the bank to hibernate, motionless.

Such a big turtle is not easy to come across in later generations, Jiang Ping'an was so excited that he immediately transferred them to the space.

After collecting the fish, Jiang Ping'an collected nearly a hundred square meters of water and stored it in the storage space.

The meals made with this water, boiled water and tea can be taken out of the space, so they are prepared and will be used frequently in the future.

In no hurry to leave.

Now that we have arrived at the reservoir today, we will naturally catch some big fish.

But to hide and eat, the Yantang Reservoir is collective, and so are the things inside.

Casual fishing is theft and if caught you will be punished.

As the saying goes, fishing for shrimps, delaying crops, and catching fish and shrimps are all manifestations of not doing business properly.

Of course, farmers work hard all year round, without modern machinery, it is all heavy physical labor.

Even during the slack season in winter, we still have to dry grain, hoard manure, tidy up cowsheds and pigpens, pack firewood and so on.

I also have to answer the call to dig the river, almost every year, purely manual labor.

Therefore, ordinary farmers have no time and energy to catch fish and shrimp.

Except for very few bums and children, no one would catch fish and shrimp.
