Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 84
Taking advantage of the fact that the silting dam has not yet started, Wang Manyin took the time to send the accumulated eggs to the supply and marketing cooperative.

After finishing his work, he went to Guo Chaowang's house as usual.

After seeing Director Guo's mother-in-law and aunt, they presented more than a dozen fresh crucian carp, which they only said were caught from the Dongla River.

Now the news that there are fish in the Dongla River has become an explosive news, spreading throughout the Shigejie Commune.

These days, not only the villages along the river, but even the communes also have idlers guarding the river to catch fish.Even the Xingshu River, a tributary of the Dongla River, has many fish.

So facing the crucian carp sent by Wang Manyin, Guo Chaowang's mother-in-law and aunt naturally had no doubts.

And she is still very satisfied in her heart, thinking that this man will repay her kindness, and she can give her husband some pillow talk again.

Last year, the supply and marketing cooperative engaged in "serving members and delivering goods to the countryside", and set up several consignment outlets under the Shigejie Commune.

In addition to Guanzi Village, there are several other villages such as Xiashan Village and Chunshumao.

But these consignment agents are usually invisible, and they didn't even come to sit at home during the Chinese New Year.If there is no Wang Manyin for comparison, Aunt Guo Chaowang doesn't think much, but now she has an idea.

A few days ago, she heard from her husband that Tian Futang of Shuangshui Village responded and wanted to open a consignment point in the village to facilitate the daily needs of the members.

This matter needs to be blocked... Wang Manyin mentioned before that Shuangshui Village and Guanzi Village are next to each other, and people in Shuangshui Village usually go to his consignment store to buy anything they lack.

"Man Yin, I'll tell your uncle later, just one consignment point is enough for Guanzi Village and Shuangshui Village, and no one will open a second one..."

"Thank you, auntie," Wang Manyin was dazed at first, and then hurriedly expressed his thanks.

Said a few more gossips, got up and left.

He didn't expect that there would be unexpected gains after giving a few crucian carp.

Heaven and earth conscience, I really don't have any purpose this time, it's just to strengthen the relationship on a daily basis.

For Wang Manyin, he will live in Guanzi Village for quite a long time in the future, and the relationship between Director Guo's family naturally needs to be maintained for a long time.

Human relations may seem a bit vulgar, but it is inevitable.

If you don't usually burn incense, it will be too late to hold Buddha's feet when things come to an end.

In addition, when my brother-in-law returned from training in the county, he had to rely on others to help arrange it.

After the matter was over, Wang Manyin did not stay in the commune.

On the way back home, he found a remote cliffside Gelao as usual, and disappeared in a flash.

I've been so busy these past few days, I've been in and out of the space in a hurry every time, I haven't had time to carefully check the details inside.

Standing by the lush reeds, Wang Manyin watched the fish swarming on the water surface, continued to be happy but helpless.

Since he started raising fish, he has never stopped digging ponds.

As long as I have free time, I always have to work with a shovel for a while.

Over several months on and off, the area of ​​the pond expanded to more than 300 square meters, almost one meter in many places.However, it is still too small for the rapidly expanding fish school.

In the past half a month, Wang Manyin has released hundreds of catties of miscellaneous fish into the Dongla River.However, the growth and reproduction rate of the fish in the pond is astonishing, and there is no sign of decreasing.

I can't take the fish out to eat often, so it's too wasteful to keep it like this.

As for going to Mijia Town to sell it to Li Ping...the other party said that he wanted as much as he wanted, but the key point was that Wang Manyin didn't dare to do that.

When going to the black market to do business, he always puts safety first.Especially since the beginning of spring, the crackdown on the black market near Yuanxi County has become more and more strict.

Selling fish every two or three months is already the limit, and too frequent can easily cause unnecessary troubles.

I am not short of money now, it is better to be careful.

Thinking about it, Wang Manyin decided to continue to put miscellaneous fish in the Dongla River... It can be regarded as adding some meat to the people in several villages along the river.

In fact, he restrained himself every time he released the fish, and only got a hundred catties at a time.This number seems to be quite a lot, but in the Dongla River, which is tens of miles long, it seems very inconspicuous.

What's more, there are still several tributaries of the Dongla River.

After circling the pond for a week, Wang Manyin went to check the licorice field again.He had just inquired at the supply and marketing agency that dried licorice cost a dime a catty.

These in the space should also be sold.

When he came to the edge of the field, he picked up a shovel and tentatively dug one.

Everything is expected, and the unique environment of space has a great effect on promoting plant growth.This piece of licorice has only been planted for four months, and it has grown as thick as a thumb.

Wang Manyin dug more than a meter deep into the ground, but still did not see the roots of the licorice.The whole piece was dug out and dried in the sun, and it was estimated to weigh a catty.

According to this kind of production estimate, this piece can produce at least a hundred catties, and it can be dried for ten yuan... It doesn't seem like a lot, but it is a long-term and stable money-in project.

As long as you keep growing licorice, you can continue to produce.

More importantly, this method of getting money is much safer than selling fish, and it can be directly digested by the own sales agency.

If you plant some land in the space and dig a few stubbles a year, it is estimated that you can earn hundreds of dollars.It is worth a year's dividends for the members of the production team.

The only bad thing is that digging licorice is hard work.

If you count the sales of eggs and fish, the family can steadily exceed [-] yuan a year.In this day and age, this income would definitely overwhelm countless people.

Wang Manyin has no plans to become a millionaire household immediately, so he is naturally very satisfied with this.

To be honest, there are really tens of thousands of dollars, and it is difficult to spend them.

Wait... Grasshopper, why are there grasshoppers in space?

He was planning for a better future when he suddenly saw a grass-green pointed-headed grasshopper lying on a licorice leaf not far ahead.

Wang Manyin thought he was delusional, since he had never introduced this kind of insect into it.

The pointed-headed grasshopper is called the old shoulder pole or the shoulder pole hook in the Loess Plateau. It has a pointed head and a slender body, which can grow up to ten centimeters.

It is also a rare meat, and it is the favorite of rural children.Roasted on the fire, the color is burnt red, and you can taste the chicken.

Wang Manyin thought for a moment, and thought that it might be the insect eggs brought in by accident when transplanting the plants before.

This discovery also made him tense up immediately.In the words of later generations, "If you find a cockroach in your home, there may be countless ones hiding in it."

Grasshoppers are also applicable to this sentence, and generally do not exist in isolation.

Wang Manyin searched the whole licorice field carefully, and sure enough, he caught two more grasshoppers.

Then, he walked into the sweet potato field not far away.

Spring sweet potatoes started to be planted outside in April and May, and the second crop in the space has grown into large green patches.

As soon as he took a few steps in the sweet potato field, he immediately started a few insects hopping and running.

I am Nima!Wang Manyin cursed directly.

In addition to grasshoppers, I also saw a locust called bandit head.

Patrol the entire sweet potato field and drive up hundreds of them.

The development of the space has been going smoothly before, and Wang Manyin really didn't consider that there would be unexpected situations.Before I knew it, the grasshoppers had grown to such a large scale that I didn't even know it.

In the wild, this thing can reproduce two to three generations a year.If the environment is changed to space, the reproduction speed may be faster.

They must be removed as soon as possible, otherwise they will certainly have a disastrous effect on the space if left unchecked.

The first thing Wang Manyin thought of was spraying pesticides, but he rejected it immediately.It is very difficult for individuals to buy pesticides now, and even if they can, they cannot do so.

The space environment affects the whole body, and it is likely to affect other animals at that time.

After much deliberation, we can only take biological control.

In the Loess Plateau, there are common animals that can eat locusts, except birds and frogs.

Unfortunately, this season, the frogs are still hibernating and will not appear until April and May.

As for the birds... There are more than a dozen rock pigeons and a large group of chickens in the space.In theory, as long as they are released, the locusts will be eaten up in minutes.

Unfortunately, these birds not only eat insects, but also crops.

If you put them in the space, the locusts probably didn't eat much, but they would damage the space crops.

Therefore, we can only catch other birds from the outside.

Wang Manyin really thought of one, and that was the common Yashayan on the Loess Plateau.

It is also a bird of the Swallow family Swallow family. It looks very similar to the barn swallow, but it is slightly smaller.

Unlike barn swallows that make nests in caves, Yasha swallows mainly dig holes on the edge of the cliff with their sharp beaks. The hole is oval, about the size of a teacup.

More importantly, this thing lives in groups.

At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, you can often see large holes and small eyes carved out of the cliff wall by the Dongla River, which are the nests of the Yashayan.

Many people think that swallows only eat flying insects, but they are not, they are just better at hunting in the air.

Like locusts, grasshoppers, and scarabs, both barn swallows and sand martins eat them.

However, they are also migratory birds, and it will take some days before they can return to the Loess Plateau.

So the most important thing right now is to use artificial intelligence to catch all these locusts.
