Take the world of legends with you

Chapter 37 Kawada
A big rabbit weighing six to seven catties, Liu Bajiu added two catties of pure meat to it when chopping up the rabbit meat, braised it all in soy sauce, and put more than a catty of potatoes in it.

In the end, the family ate and there was not much left.

Wang Lan slumped on the chair, patted her stomach and hiccupped, and sighed, "It's been a long time since I ate rabbit meat. I didn't expect it to be so delicious. I ate too much!"

"Hey!" Liu Xingguo took a sip of beer and said with a smile, "Let's raise a few of them if they are delicious. Just two of them. After one month of raising the rabbits, there will be one litter. If you raise two rabbits, you won't be able to eat them all!"

"I'm afraid the farmed ones are not so delicious!" Liu Bajiu was still eating slowly. At first, he was embarrassed to fight with his parents, and he had eaten higher quality dog ​​meat and fish meat, so he didn't care much about these points. Quality rabbit meat.

"This rabbit must have been wild outside for a period of time, so the meat quality is much better. Breeding is not impossible, but it must be free-range.

Land reform is about to begin in our village. Liu Yunchuan contracted the project to me, earning two to three million yuan, on the condition that after the land reform, I have to plant the 300 acres of land that has been improved. "

"Are you going to farm at home in the future?" Liu Xingguo asked with a frown.

Wang Lan said with some concern: "I heard that farming doesn't make money. Many people who contract land lose money. Even if the state has subsidies, they can't make money. The main reason is that food is too cheap.

Melons, fruits and vegetables are not easy to sell, and labor seems cheap, but the people who can be found cheap are all old men and women, and they can't do much work at all! "

Liu Xingguo rarely thought about it carefully, and then said: "It's okay, anyway, with the help of Yunchuan and the others, the state's subsidies will not be less, let's do it first, if it doesn't work, then just don't do it, it's no big deal !"

Liu Bajiu couldn't help but looked at his father in surprise, one must know that the old man was very disgusted with having any contact with the Dafang's people, and he didn't want to take advantage of the Dafang, so he didn't object now.

After thinking about it, Liu Bajiu was relieved. It should be for himself to have a way out and pay a big house. Even if he doesn't make money this time, as long as things are done well, there will always be times when he will make money.

The weather outside is gloomy, but there is no sign of rain at all. This year, Liu Bajiu's place has been suffering from drought until now, and the drought started from the extreme high temperature last year.

It rained a few times, but unfortunately it was not too heavy, not even soaked in the rain. In the morning, Wang Lan was at home to prepare rabbits, and Liu Bajiu and Liu Xingguo went to the river field to fetch water and drench the sweet potatoes planted a few days ago. .

Liu Bajiu and the others lived halfway up the mountain, and there was a river field at the foot of the mountain. The so-called river field was actually the field between the two mountains.

Because it is just a hill, the mountain is neither high nor long, it is only 200 meters, and there is no running water at the end, or even if there is running water, the water flow is very small, so it cannot form a river, even a small river ditch cannot be formed. It was changed into terraced fields with a small slope.

But once it rains heavily, several slopes of mountains and rivers come down, and the water flow is very turbulent, just like a river, so it is called Hetian.

Planting river fields is usually fine, as long as there is no continuous heavy rain, it doesn’t matter even if the seedlings are submerged for a day or two. After the water recedes, it will take less than two days for the lodging seedlings to stand up and continue to grow. When it rains heavily, it will be troublesome.

But this kind of thing rarely happens. After all, the ancestors have planted it for generations, so they naturally know when to plant and when to harvest.

Now there are not many young people in the countryside. Those roads with convenient transportation and flat land can’t be planted. There is no one to plant river fields with inconvenient transportation. In addition, the trees on the mountains on both sides have not been cut for more than ten years and grow very well. Tall, even if planted, the harvest will not be good.

So now all the river fields are full of weeds, and even some river fields have grown trees more than ten meters high.

Standing by the dam and looking at the river field below, Liu Bajiu asked, "How many acres does our river field have in total?"

"It's only about a hundred acres. The ball is useless. A few years ago, there was a boss who contracted to raise sheep, but he left in despair within half a year!" Liu Xingguo took a puff of his cigarette and said cheerfully .

The river field is humid all year round, even if it encounters extreme drought, the grass inside will grow very well, and it will grow very fast.

Liu Bajiu remembers mowing grass and feeding cows when he was a child. It takes a week for the grass in other places to grow to the height of the scythe again. The grass under the river field can be mowed again after three or four days if it is not used. Raising sheep should be very good. !

"Why?" Liu Bajiu asked curiously.

"Because he raised sheep in free range. He bought hundreds of sheep and put them under the river field to let the sheep graze on their own, but they always lost them. At first he thought it was stolen by our locals, so he called the police, but the police did nothing. find out.

Then he continued to lose the sheep. He thought there were some wild animals, and started to install surveillance cameras all over the mountain, but found nothing. Finally, he asked a few local people to help take care of them.

He was told that there are rotten seeds in the river field, and it is not suitable for free-range sheep like this, unless they are raised in captivity and then asked to mow the grass, so he left unwillingly. "Liu Xingguo said cheerfully.

Rotten Paozi is actually similar to a swamp, and the river field itself is a gully created by the flood.

The flood washed away the silt, and brought some silt down, and because of obstacles such as branches and leaves, the silt was not evenly distributed in the gully, which would cause one part to be deep and another part to be shallow.

When the ancestors changed it to a river field, they used stones and pebbles to fill in the deep places to prevent people from falling in and drowning.

After all, moving stones is quite tiring. There are many deep and shallow fields in my field. When planting and harvesting, pay attention to it. When planting, throw a few seedlings to fill some deep places. Children stepping on grain piles to harvest.

But it is not high enough to drown a person, but it is high enough to drown a sheep, even if such a thin sheep's hoof is stuffed into it, it will not be able to escape.

"How much is the rent for a year?" Liu Bajiu asked.

Liu Xingguo curled his lips and said, "One mu of land is only 100 yuan a year, and no one wants it for free. How expensive is it? What do you want?"

"The entire dam has been turned into a reservoir for fish farming!" Liu Bajiu laughed.

"It's just four or five yuan a catty. It's a waste of effort. Fish farming doesn't make money at all!" Liu Xingguo said.

"So cheap?" Liu Bajiu asked in surprise.

"What do you think?" Liu Xingguo said: "Clear water fish can be more expensive, but not much. After all, people who buy fish don't care whether they are clean water fish or not. The dealers always buy them at the price of forage fish!"

It's still a question of sales. No matter how good the stuff is, it's useless if it doesn't sell.
