Chapter 137: The reward for the professional pig farmer must be taken

In the evening, Liang Wenyu stewed fish soup, ate it with the rice left over from noon, and soaked a bowl to eat when hungry. Crucian carp soup doesn't need much oil, just put some ginger, Sichuan peppercorns, and sprinkle some scallions and coriander when out of the pot, which is very good.

Li Juan and Li Qiang were just at the age of growing, eating the rice in the bowl in large mouthfuls. Li Long was not very hungry, slowly picking the crucian carp thorns in the bowl, even a small piece of crucian carp meat was very fragrant.

"Little Long, when you go to sell fish, if you run into someone selling piglets, catch two back." Li Jianguo finished the fish soup, wiped his mouth and said, "Since the above let us raise pigs, then let's raise more. When I'm not working these two days, I'll repair the pigsty."

"Repair what, just raise them in the horse shed, it's not far." Li Long said, "I plan to buy a few more, anyway, Uncle Uncle Lao Luo Shu doesn't want to be idle, I'll pay to hire him to raise pigs and graze horses for us."

"Can that work?" Liang Wenyu was a bit worried, "Does the public let us do it?"

"What's wrong with that." Li Long said with a smile, "Uncle Uncle Lao Luo Shu can't be idle, doesn't want to go to the nursing home. When he helps us raise them, he can also raise a pig himself. Grass, feed, etc., we can all supply, you can rest assured, he is even more willing than us."

After finishing, Li Long said to Li Jianguo:

"Big brother, I think you have to go find the village director and ask, if we become a professional pig farmer, does the brigade have any rewards? The township encourages side businesses, it shouldn't be just talking."

Li Jianguo stopped rolling the Mohe tobacco. This was indeed a matter, but he hesitated and asked:

"If the brigade has no rewards, raising a few more pigs requires a lot of feed. Just the bran, chaff, and dried fish powder at home are not enough."

"You ask first, maybe you will get two more mu of land." Li Long said with a smile, "Planting sugar beets and the like, that's enough. Besides, when you're free, pull the horse cart to the Shicheng sugar factory to dig sugar residue. Isn't that thing very good for feeding pigs?"

"Okay, I'll go ask." Saying that, Li Jianguo stood up, quickly rolled the Mohe tobacco, twisted off the tip on his head, put the cigarette in his mouth, took the key to open the five-drawer cabinet, took out twenty yuan and gave it to Li Long:

"You take it, this is the money to buy piglets."

"I have it." Li Long hurriedly waved his hand, "I have quite a lot of money."

"You have yours, how can the family's affairs let you spend all the money?"

Li Jianguo stuffed the money into Li Long's hand without saying a word, then lit the Mohe tobacco and said:

"I'll go ask Junwazi now."

Xu Chengjun's nickname was Junwazi. The veterans like Li Jianguo who were there when the village was built calling him that had no problem.

After Li Jianguo returned from the village director's house, he brought back two pieces of news.

"If you raise more than eight pigs, you are considered a professional pig farmer, and the brigade will subsidize five mu of land as feed land." Li Jianguo said somewhat excitedly, "If you raise them well, the township also has rewards!"

"Eight pigs, can you raise them?" Li Long asked somewhat worriedly.

"No problem." Li Jianguo felt full of energy now, "The land at home mainly plants corn and oil sunflowers, the main work is weeding, ten mu of land, very fast! If you can divide five mu as feed land, plant sugar beets and the like, that's also easy!"

Farmers are afraid of having no motivation. Now thinking that the things planted are their own, and the things raised are their own, that energy is really sufficient!

"By the way, Junwazi also said that people from the power department in the county will repair electric poles this year, and our brigade will be connected to electricity!"

Actually, there had been ideas about connecting electricity before, but the ownership of the production brigade had always been a problem. Nominally and administratively, it belonged to the commune, but because it was relatively close to the Corps and occupied a relatively large area of land, a farm of the Corps had always wanted to divide the production brigade to their side.

The result was buck-passing. Although there were electric poles in the village, the electricity was pulled from the Corps side before, and later the electricity there was cut off.

If the township could pull the electricity over now, the village could live a life with electricity!

Li Long was very happy!

The next day, at dawn, Tao Daqiang came to the Li house, called Li Long up, and the two carried the tire and carried the bag toward the Little Haizi.

On the edge of the Little Haizi, Li Long skillfully entered the water, rowed to the last net head, and began to collect the nets. Collecting nets was faster than setting nets, just needing to pull forward along the nets, not even needing to row.

Tao Daqiang collected the nets yesterday, Li Long didn't know the situation. Today, when collecting the nets, he felt that there were many fish, and in some places, the nets were directly tangled on the reeds on the side by the flopping fish.

This required carefully picking the nets off the reeds.

"Splash!" Before the first net was collected, a large carp wrapped in the net suddenly flopped in the water. Li Long hurriedly pulled the net over, relaxed the net already collected, and slowly wrapped this fish. The fish was tangled by the net, plus Li Long didn't use force, so the fish had no room to play.

The net with the largest mesh set yesterday was not enough to hang such a big fish, it should have just tangled the fin or tail, only saying that this fish was unlucky.

Li Long sat on the tire, bent down, put both hands into the water, hugged the fish together with the net, picked the gills and stuffed it into the urea bag.

This carp weighed at least three kilograms. After stuffing it in, the bag sank.

This fish, Manager Zhong of the big meat canteen would definitely like it.

Six nets were collected. Li Long felt that the tire couldn't bear it.

Two urea bags were almost full. Although water entered, together with the nets, Li Long estimated that there must be at least fifty kilograms of fish!

The fish in this Little Haizi are all so naive, so easy to be netted!

Not daring to speed up, afraid of the tire flipping, Li Long dragged the two urea bags of fish and rowed slowly toward the shore.

Tao Daqiang saw that most of the tire was in the water, and he was anxious to go into the water. Li Long hurriedly shouted:

"Don't move, just wait there, don't go into the water!"

Finally reaching the shore, Tao Daqiang couldn't care about so much, went into the water to pull the rope tied to the tire, and pulled the tire to the shore.

!.

Li Long came down, dragged the two urea bags to the shore, and gasped for breath:

"These six nets caught them!"

Tao Daqiang opened the bag mouth, looked at the fish heads opening and closing inside, and said with a smile:

"Brother Long, you carry the tire, I'll carry these two bags back."

Saying that, he tied the two bag mouths together, bent down and put them on his body one by one, and walked toward home in large strides like a saddlebag in ancient times.

Li Long didn't fight with him either. He caught his breath, put on his pants, carried the tire and chased after him.

After returning to the Li house, Liang Wenyu had already cooked, and Li Juan and Li Qiang were eating.

Seeing Li Long and them return, Li Jianguo immediately spread the plastic sheet, and then helped Tao Daqiang untie the bags and pour them onto the plastic sheet. Liang Wenyu took out the laundry basin to prepare to hold the fish.

The four of them picked the fish together. Fish were picked off one by one and placed in the laundry basin, soon piling up, and the remaining fish were simply sorted out, water was added to the urea bags, and big fish and small fish were placed separately.

Li Long saw that the fish were almost picked, so he went to prepare the bicycle.

Seeing that Li Juan had finished eating, Li Long said to her:

"Juan, sit on my bike to go to school in a while."

"Okay!" Li Juan said with a smile.

After the fish were tied and placed, Liang Wenyu handed a cloth bag to Li Long:

"This is for Xiaoxia, packed in canned bottles, you have to be careful."

"I know." Li Long responded.

He estimated that nearly sixty kilograms of fish were caught, but some dead fish and too small fish were not packed. There were nearly fifty kilograms of fish on the two plastic bags on the bicycle.

For some fish from yesterday and fish left today, Li Jianguo meant for Tao Daqiang to take some back, and give the rest to the four neighbors, anyway, his own family couldn't finish eating.
