Reborn Country Overlord

Chapter 9 I want a gun!
"Well, that's fine. Next year we will raise [-] teal ducks, and then we will raise [-] chickens and a few native ducks. At that time, you should take care of it. Those who behave hard and work hard will have eggs to eat."

After listening to her son's words, Zhang Tao's mother agreed with a smile, and gave a small promise to the children.These days, children in rural areas eat eggs and meat a lot in a year, especially those from poor families.

Usually there are guests at home, and they can eat some meat after the guests finish eating.Or they can only be eaten during the holidays and the child’s birthday, so eating eggs is a good reward in the eyes of adults at this time, which is something that is generally not eaten.

Zhang Tao didn't react much after hearing this. He came from the boring days of eating meat every day in later generations, so he didn't have much interest in these things.

But Zhang Yan and Zhang Yong on the side didn't think so. Zhang Tao obviously heard the sound of them swallowing, and his eyes became warmer, as if he would have eggs tomorrow.

Then Zhang Tao talked about raising pigs next year. After the spring, the family will still raise two pigs, but raise a gelding pig and raise a sow. By the middle of the year, the sow will be able to go into heat and give birth to piglets.

At that time, the family can not only sell piglets, but also don't have to go to other people's houses to buy piglets to raise.Piglets are raised until they are castrated halfway and become meat pigs. After the pigs grow up, they are killed or sold.

Zhang Cuihua did not make a decision about raising pigs so easily, because the value of a pig is too high.At this time, if a piglet weighs [-] to [-] catties, it will cost about [-] to [-] yuan, which is equivalent to the tuition fees of Zhang Tao's three brothers and sisters for one semester.

Just after analyzing it for Zhang Tao, Zhang Tao's mother suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with Zhang Tao's way of doing it. At most, it was just that the family had no experience in raising sows, but there were people in the village who raised sows, so I would ask others for advice. The experience is just fine.

As long as the pigs are raised, even if the sows cannot be bred successfully, they can still be sold as pigs. At most, the family does not kill pigs to eat.In Zhang Tao’s family, people think that sow pork is unpalatable, and they generally don’t eat sow pork.
But those who directly buy whole pigs, as long as the sows have not given birth and the pigs are not too old, they don’t have such taboos. Anyway, after the purchase, they will be sent to the slaughterhouse, and no one will know who will eat them. Anyway, It won't be enough to eat by yourself.

This evening, the family sat together to discuss plans for the next year, with a touch of warmth and longing for the future.Although Zhang Tao was mostly talking, the other three were listening. Occasionally, Zhang Cuihua would ask some questions in a conclusive way, and Zhang Tao would give reasonable answers.

And Zhang Yong and Zhang Yan completely played the role of small listeners. At this time, Zhang Tao suddenly thought of a question, but after thinking about it, he felt that the time had not yet come, so he simply didn't say anything. It is useless to say it at this time. .

Zhang Tao originally wanted to talk about contracting the reservoir behind his home, but at this time, Zhang Tao's team and other teams are working on the reservoir. At this time, there will be disputes about contracting. If there is a commotion, it will turn into a void by then.

So Zhang Tao swallowed the topic when he was about to say it, and wait until the right time to talk about it. The result will be in the spring after the end of this year, and it will not be too late to talk about contracting at that time.

This evening, Zhang Cuihua didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with what Zhang Tao said. In her heart, she always felt that the children of poor people could be able to lead a family early, so her youngest son was smarter and more mature, knowing that some short things about parents were not considered in her eyes at all. whats the matter.

At most, it proves that the theory that the children of the poor are already in charge of the family is correct, and their own children in "Red Lantern" finally became sensible.

The reservoir behind Zhang Tao’s house was repaired by the two teams after liberation. It is not big, only about tens of acres. It is used as irrigation water for the paddy fields of the two surrounding villages. It cannot be compared with the large public reservoir in the village. Comparison of.

This reservoir has never been drained since it was built in the first liberation, and it is not allowed, because it is worried that the spring plowing of the surrounding farmland will be delayed after the reservoir is drained.

Usually, the two villages would go fishing with nets during Chinese New Year and festivals, but the harvest is very small. Basically, the people in the two villages can only share the fish according to their heads, and they have to be built together. What income.

That is, the fish fry that are usually stocked will disappear when they are caught in the net, so no one is willing to contract this reservoir for a while.

For a large reservoir of tens of acres, no one is willing to contract 200 yuan a year, because people think this reservoir is evil.Usually, you can often see big fish swimming around, and you can even catch big fish when fishing. But when you pull the net, it is tricky, so it is a loss-making business to hire this reservoir.

In the end, the reservoir was simply rowed to Zhang Tao's village, and it was completely used as a storage tank, becoming the unique reservoir of Zhang Tao's village.

A few years later, a guy in the village contracted the reservoir out of his nerves, and then built a partition in the middle of the reservoir, dividing the reservoir into three parts, and directly draining the three parts of water during the dry season in winter Afterwards, but did not release the water in the reservoir indiscriminately, so no one in the nearby villagers had any objections.

In that year, the income in the reservoir directly increased to more than [-]. There were a lot of soft-shelled turtles and black fishes of three to four catties, and yellow squids of one or two catties. The bigger and more valuable these kinds of fish were in Zhang Tao’s house. , especially wild ones.

What's more, there are dozens of catties of grass carp and silver carp in the reservoir, as well as various miscellaneous fish.At that time, the eyes of the people around were all red, but no one could say anything, because the guy who contracted the reservoir was a brother of the party secretary in the village.
The tradition of people being afraid of officials is too deep, causing the brothers of the village officials to tremble.The reason why the reservoir cannot catch fish is that the reservoir once sank in the middle, forming a deep pit like the bottom of a pot.

Because the reservoir cannot be drained, and the fish were caught at a depth of one or two meters. After being driven to the middle, all the fish went into the deep water, so the reservoir has been unable to net. What kind of fish.

It wasn't because there were no fish in the reservoir or something, so I picked a big deal for that guy later.

Zhang Tao is going to let his mother contract out the reservoir, and will sign the contract with the village as long as possible, and then wait for the status of his family to change before dividing the reservoir in the village into several adjacent fish ponds of.

Zhang Tao can't be sure how long this time will take, he will only try his best to raise his family's status in the village.

Not for anything else, but for the fact that he can eat fish without having to find a way by himself in the future. Zhang Tao will also take care of it. He likes to eat fish the most.

However, this matter should not be rushed. You must know that his family is recruiting a door-to-door son-in-law, who is born with a lower status in front of others in the village. Zhang Tao needs to find a way to change these things. Changes require opportunities, and Zhang Tao has to do well. Prepare to wait for those opportunities to come your way.

The next morning, Zhang Tao got up early to wash and wash as usual, then cooked, went to exercise, and then came back to eat and go to school.It was still a little early when I came to school, and the morning reading class hadn't officially started yet.
A lot of students have already come to the class, and many people are surrounded by a boy. That guy has a TV at home, and he is broadcasting last night's TV drama at this time - talking about that Hu Fei and what, and then talking about Yuan Ziyi .

Hearing the name, Zhang Tao was stunned for a moment, because Zhang Tao, the actor who played Yuan Ziyi, knew a little about it in his previous life. Then a lot of people ran to see something.

Zhang Tao has no interest in this woman, only heard that this woman has won some awards, anyway, she sounds very good, but she is not very popular.

It belongs to the powerful group, it seems that the husband is not good at marrying or anything, and married an artist, but the artist later took drugs, got together with a certain actress later, and finally committed suicide up.

"Zhang Tao, I'm about to have a gun. My uncle will bring me an air gun after the winter vacation. Then I will go hunting birds with Wang Xiaofan!"

Just as Zhang Tao entered the classroom, the guy sitting in front of him who was broadcasting stopped talking about the content of the TV series, but turned his head and said to Zhang Tao triumphantly, but his eyes were aimed at Zheng Xiaoyan who was on the side.

Zheng Xiaoyan didn't react at all when he was talking about the TV series just now, because Zheng Xiaoyan's family also has a TV, so they can still secretly watch TV series when the final exam is coming.

For a brat who seems to be a bit precocious and wants to show off in front of the opposite sex, if one thing fails to achieve his goal, he can immediately think of another plan, so he thought of showing off in front of Zhang Tao, Zheng Xiaoyan's deskmate.

After hearing what the guy in front said, Zhang Tao froze for a moment, air gun?What a long memory.

The guy sitting in front of me is called Wang Zhongqiu. You can tell from the name that this guy was born in Zhongqiu, so I chose such a name. Sometimes people in the country will be lazy when choosing a name, and directly choose the one who was born. Names are used for festivals, such as He Jianguo, Jianjun, Jianhua, and National Day. Such names are the most common in the countryside.

Moreover, it has little to do with the cultural quality of the parents. For example, Wang Zhongqiu's parents are considered intellectuals, and the names they gave their children followed suit.
