Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 464, Rice

Jiang Yan and Xu Damao were swimming along the dam together. Looking at the sparkling water, Jiang Yan suddenly asked Xu Damao.

"Are there any fish in the lake?"

"Yes, we have put about [-] fry into Xingfu Lake this year. According to Professor Ding's estimate, we can catch about [-] kilograms of fish every year."

Jiang Yan was also surprised when he heard about the fish yield. He was not surprised that the yield was high, but that the yield was too low.Normally, the 150 acres of water surface would require a birth of at least [-] to [-] kilograms to be considered normal. If careful management and feeding were started, it would be normal to produce a birth of at least [-] to [-] kilograms. However, Jiang Yan did not reveal his own Confuse.But keep moving forward.

"The farm has been fully mechanized now, right?" Jiang Yan asked again while smoking a cigarette.

Hearing Jiang Yan's question, Xu Damao was quite excited and said directly: "After approval from the institute, we purchased two "Dongfanghong" tractors and ten walking tractors. In order to facilitate transportation, they were specially approved for us. I bought five tricycles and other harvesters and other things.”

When he said this, he paused and said with a little embarrassment: "Walking tractors and tricycles, thanks to your face, boss, you don't know how popular these two things are now, almost every one comes off the production line I was bought, and finally I have to talk about our relationship, otherwise we have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse!"

Hearing what Xu Damao said, Jiang Yan smiled and did not say anything.

Jiang Yan naturally knew that he was using his own name. So far, Jiang Yan was still serving as a consultant in two factories. They would come to him if they had technical problems. Xu Damao used his own name to buy equipment. The two The factory director called him immediately. Without his approval, how could Xu Damao make the purchase so smoothly?

Looking at the fields in the distance, half of them are planted with rice and the other half with wheat, I feel quite curious. Generally speaking, rice is rarely grown in the east, west and north, and Xiaozhandao is the more famous one near Sijiucheng.

Xiaozhan rice is a specialty of JN District, TJ City. Its rice grains are full, uniform, translucent, without abnormal color and smell, and the aspect ratio is ≤2.2.The rice is shiny and has the characteristics of "fragrant, sticky, elastic, chewy and sweet". It does not regenerate when cooked cold, so it is quite famous throughout the northern region.

In original history, in 1985, the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Fisheries held a high-quality rice symposium in Changsha, Hunan, and once again listed Xiaozhan rice as a famous specialty product.

"Why did you remember to plant rice this year?" Jiang Yan asked casually after thinking of this.

"That's Professor Ding's opinion. Boss, you don't know. Half of the land allocated to us by the district government is tidal flats and swamps, and half is saline-alkali land. We are really worried about how to use this land."

"Later, Professor Ding took a soil sample and found that most of the land here was washed out by rivers. Therefore, the fertility of the land is very high, and it is very similar to the environment where Xiaozhan rice grows. Therefore, Professor Ding proposed planting Rice, but now I see it is growing pretty well.”

Jiang Yan looked at each other after hearing this. According to his own memory, there is no place to grow rice in these [-] cities!There is no reason. It is because the entire Sijiu City is too short of water, and growing rice requires a lot of water, so there is no basis for growing rice.

And how did Jiang Yan know that a folk song from Laosi Jiucheng said: "The rice in the west of Beijing is fragrant, and everyone knows the smell of cooking. There is no need for vegetables for a simple meal, it is delicious and fragrant."The excellent rice species mentioned in it, Jingxi Rice, has a long history. It is native to the Yuquan Mountain and Wanshou Mountain areas and is distributed in the Yuquan Mountain River Basin. The rice grains are round, crystal-clear and bright, and rich in oil.

The development of rice in the Sijiucheng area has been changing with the rise and fall of water transportation.During the Ming and Qing dynasties, not only did southerners be recruited to reclaim paddy fields in western Beijing, but it is said that Kangxi also introduced southern rice seeds, tried planting them himself, and bred a new variety "Yu Rice". Qianlong also introduced southern rice seeds and bred "Purple Golden Hoop". As a result, high-quality varieties such as Jingxi rice, Yutang rice, and Qingshui rice were formed.Jingxi rice flourished due to the cultivation of the royal family. In the 19th century, British visitors took photos of thousands of hectares of rice fields under the Foxiang Pavilion in the Summer Palace. This was the peak period of rice cultivation in ancient my country.Historical records record that the Empress Dowager Cixi ordered 128 dishes for each meal, and Jingxi rice, Nanyuan rice, etc. were her designated white rice dishes.

In the 50s, Sijiucheng was rich in groundwater resources, and Haidian had many natural fountains. It was once a water town where "everywhere can be used for boating".Jingxi rice grown in good water and soil will produce steamed rice that is sweet, delicate, soft, delicious, and slightly sticky; the porridge will be sticky and fragrant, and the color of the porridge will be slightly green.In the early years, when housewives here cooked, they would mix a little bit of the precious Jingxi rice with millet and steam it together to make it fragrant. It was called "two rice rice". When the porridge was cooked, a layer of rice would form on it in an instant. Skin.

After the 70s, there were still 1200 acres of Jingxi rice fields. Jingxi rice was uniformly handed over to the grain depot by the Sijiu City Grain Bureau. It became a commonly used rice in important national events and major hotels and restaurants in BJ through special supply and group purchases. .Later, due to lack of water resources, the Jingmi Diversion Canal no longer supplied farmland water, and the planting structure in the HD area was greatly adjusted. As of now, there are only more than [-] acres of Jingxi rice left.

In fact, the rice Jiang Yan bought with his special donation certificate was Jingxi rice. However, Sijiucheng has always been a place that mainly sells pasta. Large rice is eaten occasionally, but it is not the most important staple food, so Jiang Yan didn't know. He always thought that the rice he ate was transported from the south or northeast.

"Are there any grass fish raised in the rice fields?" Jiang Yan suddenly remembered that when he was watching a documentary in his previous life, rice farmers would plant some grass fish in the rice fields, so he asked.

Grass carp, also called rice flower fish, is a collective name for fish that grow in rice fields. They are collectively known as crucian carp, carp, and grass carp. Because they grow up eating rice weeds, insects, rice flowers, etc., they are called rice fish. Flower fish.This kind of fish grows slowly, but has no earthy smell. Its meat is tender and bones are crispy, and it is very delicious.

"That, this." Xu Damao hesitated a little at this time.He never expected that Jiang Yan actually knew that fish could be raised in rice fields. When planting rice before, Professor Ding had suggested that Xu Damao raise fish in rice fields, and Xu Damao did the same. Thousands of fish fry of all kinds.

The research institute and the district government are keeping an eye on the fish raised in Xingfu Lake on this farm!You can take some, but you will definitely see if you take more. They don’t know about the fish in the rice field, and they don’t even know that fish can be raised in the rice field. His original intention is that these fish raised in the rice field will be kept temporarily. If you don't report it first, if it is well maintained, you will report it at a discount, and the rest will be regarded as the welfare of the farm, the farm's small treasury. As for corruption, Xu Damao does not have the courage to do so now.

"You can't say it so easily." Seeing Xu Damao like this, Jiang Yan couldn't help but kick him.

Hearing his boss ask again, Xu Damao had no choice but to tell Jiang Yan his plan.

After listening, Jiang Yan looked at Xu Damao with a half-smile, which made Xu Damao's scalp numb. Just when Xu Damao's legs were weak, Jiang Yan spoke.

"Okay! You, Xu Damao, are very brave. You actually did such a big thing under our noses. If you are exposed, several of your heads will be chopped off." Hearing Jiang Yan's scolding, Xu Damao lowered his head.

"In this way, I will tell everyone in the farm to shut up about the fish farming in the rice fields. I will report this matter to the director alone. When the time comes, I will leave you [-]% and hand over the rest."

This force was stronger than others, so Xu Damao had no choice but to accept Jiang Yan's proposal.

However, it is impossible for this matter to cause a fuss. After all, the district government still has four levels of income here. If they find out about this, they will take away a lot of their own things. Jiang Yan is not so stupid now, giving others advantages in vain. .
