Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 76 Fish farming and check dams
What Wang Manyin didn't expect was that he only released fish in the Dongla River twice, which actually made the villagers have other ideas.

The next day he was working in the production team, and was assigned to the excrement transportation team to partner with Liu Xiangyang.

This job looks dirty, but it's easy and doesn't require much effort.Time is also free, no one cares about whether you work fast or slow.

In this way, the two dawdled for a long time to load a truckload of dirt.

Wang Manyin was driving the donkey cart in front, and Liu Xiangyang followed all the way behind, beckoning not to spill the dung.

To the ground, unloaded a truckload of dung.

Just as Wang Manyin was about to drive the donkey back, he was stopped by Wang Lianshun.

"Man Yin, don't rush, you two will smoke a pipe with me." The old man said, shaking the long tobacco rod in his hand.

"Okay," Liu Xiangyang agreed immediately, and skillfully took out a cigarette and handed him a cigarette.

Wang Manyin was a little speechless: Sure enough, the environment can change people.

Liu Xiangyang, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, has only joined the production team for less than three months, and he has also learned how to do foreign work.

But for this kind of thing, he will naturally not refuse.

People are lazy, who can rest and earn work points, who wants to work stupidly?

"Let's go over there to smoke, so that people can see that the effect is not good." Wang Lianshun pointed to Tu Gelao, next to the cliff not far away.

It is a good place to bask in the sun.

When he got there, he sat down on the loess pile.

After taking several puffs of dry cigarettes one after another, Wang Lianshun moved his mouth but didn't say anything.

Finally, he said to Liu Xiangyang: "Xiangyang, you should tell. I'm stupid, I'm afraid I can't explain clearly."

Seeing this situation, Wang Manyin finally understood.

The two of them called him to smoke not only because he was doing foreign work, but also had something to say.

Wang Manyin didn't show it on the face, but he was murmuring in his heart, thinking carefully whether he had done anything out of the ordinary recently.

He's a bit of an underdog now.

It seems that except for putting fish into the Dongla River twice, he has been keeping a low profile.Wang Manyin kept a respectful distance from any publicity in the village.

Bring your ears to the meeting, listen honestly, and focus on participation.

What's more, he did it very covertly about releasing the fish, and he was 100% sure that no one would know.

Before Wang Manyin could make wild guesses, Liu Xiangyang had already spoken.

"Brother Wang, what do you think of our second production team digging fishponds to raise fish...can we feed the fish in winter?"

"Uncle Lian Shun, are you going to raise fish?" Wang Manyin's eyes widened, "Old man, I always thought you didn't like making troubles, but I didn't expect that you would also plan to put a David satellite."

"Nonsense, what kind of David satellite do I have? I'm just messing around like a captain full of soldiers... raising fish can make everyone really eat meat, can it be the same?"

When mentioning Wang Manjun, the captain of the first team, Wang Lianshun spoke with some disdain.

This person takes the lead in everything he does, and led the members of the commune to a busy year last year.When the bonus is calculated at the end of the year, a work point for the first team is only worth four cents, which makes many members scold their mothers behind their backs.

If his brother hadn't been the branch secretary of the brigade, Wang Manjun, the production leader, would have been dismissed long ago.

Hearing this, Wang Manyin realized that he had underestimated Wang Lianshun.

Don't look at people who usually don't talk much, but there is something else in their belly, and they are very clear about what is going on.

The old man got to the point right away: raising fish can make everyone eat meat.Because no one in Shigejie Commune has raised fish before, this is a new thing, and there is no need to sell it to food stations.

In this way, the operating space is relatively large.

"Man Yin, you are very experienced and knowledgeable in the village. To be honest, it is too cold here in winter, can we raise fish? This matter was mentioned by Liu Xiangyang... The key point is that we have never done it before, and I have no idea , so I ask you to make a total calculation. If it doesn't work, I won't waste money and people, so as not to be scolded behind my back."

Wang Lianshun asked again.

After so many things, Wang Manyin's personality in the village has gradually been established.Everyone thinks that he has been running outside for several years and is well-informed.

So when encountering a problem, Wang Lianshun immediately thought of him.

"As long as the water source is guaranteed, fish farming will definitely work. The cold weather in winter is not a problem, as long as the fish are cleared before the twelfth lunar month."

Wang Manyin didn't go around in circles, and directly gave an affirmative answer.

In the original book, in the 80s, there were people in Shuangshui Village who raised fish and made a fortune.

To increase his persuasiveness, Wang Manyin also gave an example: "Not only can we raise fish in the Loess Plateau, but we can also raise fish in the north. There is a saying over there, 'beat the roe deer with a ladle to scoop the fish, and the pheasant flies into the rice cooker'."

However, one thing to note is that the water surface in the Northeast is large and relatively deep, and fish in the water can survive the winter safely.

Can't do it in Guanzi Village. Without large machinery, it is difficult to dig too deep for fish ponds.As soon as winter comes, it freezes directly, and many fish will freeze to death, so the pond must be cleared by the end of the year.

"That's right, when I was in the Northeast, when my classmates sent letters, they also said that fish can be raised there, and many production teams will divide the fish at the end of the year..." Liu Xiangyang nodded again.

"Then let's have a meeting in two days to discuss digging fish ponds..."

"Wait, Uncle Lian Shun, fish farming is a sideline business. You'd better ask the village about it and see what Officer Zhao says." Seeing that Wang Lianshun was about to start a project with a slap on the head, Wang Manyin hurriedly interjected.

Whether the above will support it is the most important question!
These days, everything centers on food.There are many things that even a large production team cannot do.

"It's done, I'm afraid, as long as the members of the commune can eat a few taels more fish at the end of the year, even if I wipe out the production team leader, I don't want to do it anyway. Besides, we didn't sell it, and raising fish is a big problem. The members of the commune are divided, so what kind of side business is it?"

Wang Manyin did not expect that the old man was usually silent, but when he broke out, he would be very responsible.

"Uncle Lian Shun, you can't say that. If Director Zhao disagrees and reports it to the higher authorities, there will definitely be problems. Have you forgotten about the cotton seedlings in the commune next door?"

In fact, the attitude towards sideline business is not uniform in different places.Some management is stricter, while others turn a blind eye.

Still the same sentence: On this point, southerners are more flexible, and many production teams secretly engage in side jobs.

The famous "chicken feathers for sugar" in later generations has not been completely banned in this era.

Those small merchants and hawkers are also called the "Knocking Sugar Gang". They carry poles and shake rattles in their hands every day, wandering in the streets and alleys.

Later, according to statistics, there were as many as thousands of people who went out to exchange chicken feathers for sugar.

But in Shigejie Commune, such a thing is impossible to happen.

Taking the simplest work points as an example, a work point in rural areas on the Loess Plateau is mostly a few cents.A full day's work is [-] cents, and fifty cents is considered too much.

Those production teams in the south who engage in sideline jobs can earn more than one yuan a day at a high level, even higher than the wages of urban workers.

As for the cotton seedlings that Wang Manyin mentioned, it happened in the commune next door last year.

A certain production team planted cotton without permission, but was discovered by the village officer and reported... Finally, they pulled out all the extra cotton seedlings in a daze.

Before time travel, Wang Manyin saw an example on the Internet.Some directly cut down more than 1 peach trees in the entire orchard.

Therefore, it is a good thing that Wang Lianshun and Liu Xiangyang want to raise fish.I am afraid that the fish pond will be flattened after the hard work is built.

In the end, it was a waste of time and money, and it was a mess.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Hearing what Wang Manyin said, Wang Lianshun's tone also dropped.

If this is the result, it is better to honestly lead the members to farm.

"Actually, instead of raising fish, we can ask everyone to silt the dam, which is advocated by the higher-ups. Rice is planted on the silted land to increase food production. A small reservoir can be built next to it, which can be used to irrigate the rice. Of course, there are some The fish are also normal."

Wang Manyin thought for a while to answer.

Putting some things in other words, the resistance becomes different.

Hearing this, Wang Lianshun's eyes lit up: "Yes, the silt dam is good. It can increase the food production of our second team, so we can plant rice! It makes sense as far as the sky goes."
