Chapter 4 I can't bear to drink
Grass carp, you know the name, this kind of fish eats grass.

With silver carp, bighead carp and carp, these two fish do not need to be fed separately.

As long as the grass carp is well raised and the grass carp is full, silver carp, bighead carp and carp will not worry about food.

The big seedlings that Chen Mo released last year, the grass carp weighed about two catties.

2.7 mu, 2100 grass carp.

For a large pond with a water depth of 2.6 meters, this density is not high.

1.7 mu, according to the ratio, it is almost 300 tails.

Grass carp fed purely on grass need to eat a lot of food every day if they want to grow meat quickly.

Now the grass carp in fish ponds is conservatively estimated to be more than 4 catties.It takes about 1.5 catties to feed floats and ryegrass every day.

Grass carp eats a relatively large amount of grass. There is a saying that grass carp can eat grass equivalent to its body weight every day.

However, generally speaking, grass carp does not eat such a large amount of food. Most of their grass consumption is between 40% and 60% of their body weight.

In the orchard, the relatively flat land on the hillside is planted with navel oranges, and the grass is mainly rye, with a small amount of alfalfa.

The yield of rye is high, and Lingquan has also been used. Otherwise, the grass in the orchard may not be enough for grass carp to eat.

Chen Mo fed these fish every day, and did not calculate how much he fed.Anyway, feed once in the morning and once in the evening. The amount in the morning is large to make the grass carp full.The amount at night is relatively small.

Five carts of rye were poured into the big pond, and three carts of rye were poured into the small pond.Then prepare eight loads of fodder for the fish to eat at night.

It's eleven o'clock in the morning after finishing these.

Chen Mo turned on the water pump and pumped water into the water tower. He then opened the water injection pipe of the fish pond and filled the fish pond with water.

A deep well was drilled behind the house.The local groundwater resources are abundant and you can pump them at will...

Anyway, until now, even when changing the water in the fish pond, Chen Mo has never drained the well.

The east side here has been relatively dry in the past year or two, but the groundwater resources are still very abundant.If it is at the foot of the mountain, the depth of the well for domestic use is usually no more than ten meters.

It was a busy morning. Chen Mo took a shower, threw the dirty clothes into the washing machine, then went back to the house to change clothes, took a sip of tea, and was about to patrol around the fish pond when he heard the sound of a motorcycle in the distance. .

Chen Mo waited for a while, and saw his father coming over: "Dad."

Father Chen parked the car under the shed and said, "Are you going to sell fish?"

"The fishmonger came to look at the goods in the afternoon." Chen Mo said.

Father Chen glanced at the fish pond: "The water in the pond is a bit turbid."

"The water is clear and there are no fish. The water quality is just right." Chen Mo said with a smile: "Guess the average weight of the grass carp in the pond."

"Six or seven catties?"

"More than 13 pounds." Chen Mo said: "This batch has been raised very successfully. Until now, I haven't seen any dead fish."

Father Chen always felt that Chen Mo was not someone who would do great things.

After the fish pond was dug and the yellow pepper was raised for the first time, it died in more than a month.

The second time to raise grass carp, silver carp, after more than two months, it died again.

Father Chen was very angry when he found out, so he told him not to keep them too close together, or just let them go.Chen Mo refused to listen, and tried again. He still asked his mother for the money for raising seedlings.

Father Chen felt that Chen Mo was not material for big things and was too wasteful.People are also very stubborn...

For example, in the past, Chen Mo worked as a warehouse manager in a factory. He earned more than 3000 yuan a month, so he asked him to come out and learn the craft. Chen Mo didn't listen, so he talked to him a few more words.

He was also very angry at that time. He was in his twenties, and most people his age had already started a family.Chen Mo is still fooling around...

After saying a few words to him, he ran away to Shenzhen and came back several years later.Chen Mo is also a person who is hard to describe.

It would be embarrassing for anyone to have such a son.Fortunately, Chen Mo never asked the housekeeper for money easily. After he finished his studies, he started this orchard, and when he bought fish fry last year, the housekeeper asked for money.

"More than 13 pounds?" Father Chen has never raised fish before, and no one in the production team in their village seems to raise fish.But in just over a year, he has grown to more than 13 pounds, which is impossible.

Chen Mo took the copying net, walked to the pond lightly, looked at the fish grazing, and slowly stretched the copying net down.

The fish here are strong, but they don't seem to be afraid of people and not alert enough.

Chen Mo easily caught a grass carp. The grass carp struggled hard in the net and brought it to his father. He smiled and said, "Look at this grass carp. It's so fat."

The grass carp here is very fat, and its length is not proportional to its weight.Fatty grass carp is very fat, but its scales are very beautiful...

This fish is 69 cm long and weighs 13.8 catties.

Chen Mo raised grass carp in the pond: "Why didn't my mother come over?"

"Your mother went out to pick tea leaves." Father Chen said as he went to the car, opened the trunk of the motorcycle, and took out a red plastic bag: "Taste the tea leaves I roasted."

Chen Mo took the tea leaves and pointed to the pool: "You can take that fish back to eat."

"More than ten catties, it's too big." Father Chen shook his head and went to catch the fish. The strength of the fish was really strong. When Father Chen caught it, the grass carp struggled violently and fell to the ground.Father Chen went over to hold it down again, grabbed it and threw it back into the fish pond.

"Why put it back?"

"It's too big, I can't finish it." Dad Chen said with a smile: "Cow carp is expensive now. Mom just bought one a few days ago. It's 8 pounds. 1 pound is 12 yuan. I told you to go back to eat, and you also not going back."

"If you want to eat fish, just come here and catch it. The price I sell it here is about seven yuan."

"So cheap?" Father Chen said again: "How long have you not called us, we don't even know that your fish can be sold."

Chen Mo was embarrassed, and continued the previous topic: "The fish here, I feel that eight yuan is the best." It should not be sold for more than eight yuan.

This place in Donglin is not famous, but the prices are quite high.Typical low income, high consumption.

Going out to have a barbecue, one person, casually more than 100.

There are many reservoirs in the east, and silver carp and bighead carp are cheap, but grass carp is relatively rare and relatively expensive.

But expensive, mainly the selling price in the market.Tangkou price, no matter what kind of fish, is much cheaper than the market price, and some can even be half cheaper.

"Do you think there are really 4 catties of fish in the two fish ponds?"

"Forty thousand catties of grass carp is just a lot more. Other fish haven't been counted yet," Chen Mo said.

"If it costs 7 yuan per catty, forty thousand catties, 1?" Dad Chen said.

"Almost." Chen Mo said with a smile: "After selling the fish, we will buy you a car. You also took the driver's license test... Yao Guye, brother-in-law, eldest uncle and second uncle, they all have cars. .”

"If you have money, you want to dance. Can't you save money? I'm 36 years old and I don't have a girlfriend yet. I don't know how much it will cost to get married in the future." Father Chen gave Chen Mo a white look, and then looked at Chen Mo's belly : "Your belly, lose weight, how fat is it?"

Chen Mo lowered his head and looked at his stomach. After coming back, he has lost a lot of weight.When I first came back, I was almost 190 catties, but now it is more than 170 catties.

People over thirty, if you don't pay attention to it, you can easily gain weight.

Chen Mo went back with the tea leaves, poured out the scented tea made in the morning, opened the tea leaves that his father roasted himself, and brewed two cups.

"How's it going?" Father Chen looked at Chen Mo smelling the aroma of tea.

"Smells. It has a refreshing fragrance." Chen Mo said, "Is it this month's tea?"

The tea leaves fried by myself are obviously different from the teas sold in the market.The tea leaves roasted by yourself have a more distinct fragrance.

"Last month's tea was expensive, and they were all sold," said Father Chen.

Rice is no longer grown at home, fruits and tea are grown in the fields.There is almost an acre of tea.

"It's not as delicious as early spring tea." Chen Mo said after taking a sip.

"I can't find the money I'm asking for, and my mouth is still hanging around." Father Chen said angrily.

"Then early spring tea, you really need to drink better." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"When will the fish be sold, I will bring you some. There is more than a catty of head-picking tea at home..."

"I can't bear to give it to me if I have some good tea." Chen Mo went over and took out the chess: "Go out and play chess."

"Your level is very poor, I don't want to play with you." Father Chen said.

"You give me a ride." Chen Mo chuckled.

"Let's go." Chen's sullen face finally showed a smile. Chen's father doesn't play cards or smoke, and his favorite is chess, but no one has played chess with him for many years: "Tou Caicha It was your uncle who asked for it, and I haven’t come here to get it yet. This year’s first fresh tea costs more than 200 catties, and it takes several catties of fresh tea to produce 1 catty of tea... I’m even reluctant to drink it.”
