Nongmen Space: Farming lady is not easy to mess with

Chapter 186 Still want to raise fish?

Shu Yingtong looked up at the humble man in front of him who was smiling cautiously, put aside the weeds in his hands and stood up to pat the dirt on his hands.

She has an impression of this man, surnamed Guo, with a father and five children.

The first four are all daughters, and the last one gave birth to a son.The eldest daughter and the youngest son are ten years apart, and the four sisters love their younger brother like something. They are reluctant to eat any delicious food, so they give it to the younger brother.

This family did not treat their daughter harshly, and did not exchange their daughter for food when fleeing famine was so difficult.

The man's daughter-in-law lost her mother-in-law early, and the family is busy working all day long to make ends meet. The youngest son was brought up by the eldest sister, and he is closer than his own mother.

Because of this, his daughter is eighteen this year, and no one cares about her.Yao shi asked her several times to mention that the daughter of this family is capable and hard-working, but she loves her brother too much and no one dares to marry her.

No one wants to marry a daughter-in-law and marry a brother-in-law who is like a son, who would be willing to go to her mother's house to pick up things from her mother-in-law's house every day to raise her younger brother?

"Guo Wanggen, right?" Shu Yingtong sat down casually on the weeds, "I remember that there are only four strong laborers in your family. Isn't eight acres of wasteland enough for planting?"

You must know that these lands have no tax for three years, regardless of men, women, old and young, and eight acres per person is not bad.

Guo Wanggen lowered his head in embarrassment, unconsciously picked the hole in his trousers with his fingers, and said loudly:
"The eldest daughter in the family is not too young, and the second daughter is also sixteen years old. Director Yao's mediator can't help... There is nothing valuable in the family. I want to give them one acre of land as a dowry."

Shu Yingtong was a little surprised that farmers regard the field as their lifeline, and sometimes it is even more important in their hearts than their children.

He is willing to give an acre as a dowry, which can be regarded as very generous.

Because no one in the village has taken the land as a bride price.

"So what are your plans for coming to me?"

Guo Wanggen licked his dry lips, glanced left and right at the nearby villagers who had stopped their work and looked this way, and said in a low voice, "There are still slopes at the foot of the mountains. When the wasteland is reclaimed, sorghum can be planted, and a little bit of grain can be harvested."

He knew that many people were eyeing the slopes, and he also knew that Wei Dafu had mentioned that those slopes had other uses.

It's just a chance to come here, after all, the girl is the talker in the village, she is willing to share, no one dares to say anything.

Shu Yingtong casually tore a blade of grass from the weed pile, lowered her eyes to look for a while, then raised her eyes to look at him steadily.

"I don't think taking land as a dowry can solve the root problem of your daughter's difficulty in getting married. I have a plan to use the slope land for you to grow sorghum and waste it."

She spoke in a moderate voice, and the villagers passing by on the ridge of the field who deliberately slowed down were relieved and regretful when they heard this.

After getting the expected answer, they quickened their pace and walked towards their fields.Anyway, no one has it, so there is nothing to say.

Guo Genwang's face collapsed, and he stopped picking holes in his trousers, "Then, then I'll go back." After speaking, he turned to leave with a sad face.

"I haven't finished yet." Shu Yingtong called him lightly, "You brought your family to my house after dinner."

Guo Wanggen is honest and honest, but he is not stupid.The light of hope lit up on his face immediately, and he responded happily: "Hey!" He quickly walked to the edge of the field, picked up the dung bucket and strode away.

Shu Yingtong glanced at his brisk pace, and continued to squat back to pull weeds in the field.

Zhu Yu was wearing old clothes that were washed white and had patches, and ran to Shu Yingtong's side like a moth, pulling weeds swiftly with his hands and feet.

"The guidance is over so soon?" Shu Yingtong tilted her head and looked at her breezy smiling face.

Hu Yang's family doesn't know how to farm, and his family's three acres of land were cleaned up by the villagers on their own initiative.

Now that the house has been built, his family has been busy from autumn to Chinese New Year, and his family is also temporarily resting.

It's spring, and everyone is very busy, so naturally let them take over the land and take care of it by themselves.

Don't cook big pot meals, and there is Zhenniang at home to take care of the housework, Zhu Yu doesn't have much work now.

Her acre of land is also planted with alfalfa, so she doesn't need to take care of it.Instead, he ran to his family's rapeseed field every day in the name of teaching Populus euphratica to farm.

"That's right, I've said it all, I can pick up five loads of dung without breathing!"

Zhu Yu smiled and moved to the side, but within a few words, her hands were like a harvester, leaving weeds and soil everywhere she touched them.

"Are you interested in raising fish?" Shu Yingtong took it easy, maintained her usual speed, and was able to be the number one in every line of work. She couldn't do it as fast as Zhu Yu.

"Fish? You still need to raise fish? Don't you just take a net and fish it in the river?" Zhu Yu didn't care, and lovingly touched the rape seedlings in the weeds.

It's so pitiful, the grass grows stronger than it.

The girl finally found out with her conscience that she had changed her past, and she actually pulled weeds here.

"According to their out-of-the-box fishing method, it won't be long before there will be no fish in the river." Shu Yingtong lowered her brows, her tone a little heavy.

She can understand how the villagers want to improve their lives, so they don't have any objections to casting nets for fishing.

But the meshes of the fishing nets they weave are very small, and they kill big fish and small fish and small shrimps alike.

Besides, most of the fish in the river are not big fish species, and it is hard to see fish weighing two catties, and most of them are fish that are two fingers wide and not long.

There are many freshwater fish bones, and the market situation of small fish is not as good as that of big fish.

Zhu Yu slowed down the action of pulling weeds, and licked her teeth, "It seems like ah, even when I went to wash the sheets in the river, I felt that there were not as many fish as before. How do I raise the fish? Have the river been blocked?"

In the past, I could see a few four-finger-wide carp, carp, and grass carp. Later, more than a dozen households cast their nets to catch fish. Now there are not many three-finger-wide carp swimming in the river.

She likes to eat fish. The small miscellaneous fish cleaned up the internal organs in the stomach, cut the ginger slices casually, and folded a small section of the basil. The soup that was cooked was fresh and sweet.

"Have you ever seen a water pool?" Shu Yingtong drew a circle in the mud with a stone, "You can't raise fish in stagnant water, but you can raise fish by connecting ditches to allow the water to circulate."

Shizi added two gates on the edge of the circle, and added two convective channels.

"The alfalfa and king bamboo grass planted in those fields can be harvested to feed fish and livestock."

She clicked the circle, "This is called a pond. You can grow duckweed and water hyacinth on the water surface, and you can feed it to pigs. The silt from the bottom of the pond is a good slow-release fertilizer. It is used to improve soil quality, and fertilization will not burn. Seedling."

The more Zhu Yu listened, the brighter his eyes became, and he waved the weeds in his hand, "I know, I know, fattened fish can be sold for money! You don't have to run around, just get off the net! I'll come, I'll dig a hole !"

Shu Yingtong nodded slightly with a smile, there are many things that can be raised in the pond, not only fish.

"I want you to go with Qiuyan, um, take Guo Wanggen and his family along the way. I heard that Qiuyan once sprained her foot while collecting medicine in the mountains, and Chunhua carried her all the way down the mountain?"

There is more than one pond, the two of them are too busy, so it is just right to bring Guo Wanggen's family.

"Yeah, I wasn't there that day, otherwise I would definitely carry her. But I heard that Chunhua was also a stubborn donkey, he refused to take a sip of water, put him down and left."
