Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

Chapter 29 Looking for Frying Fish

The next day, Lu Changzhong got up early and braved the severe cold to leave.

Of course Lu Zaigao and Mother Lu respect his choice.

Lu Changhua was originally going to stay at home for a few more days, but in such a cold weather, he really didn't want to go to the ice rink to keep watch.

But he doesn't want to make money, but the children have long been unable to bear the loneliness.

Just after the third day of junior high school, Principal Liu came to our door on the fourth day of the first lunar month.

It's not that he insists on dragging Lu Changhua to pour ice together, but the students don't have skates for skating. Who can they ask for if they don't rent his skates?
Lao Lu went to the canteen to clean up. He had to cook when the leader went to work.Mother Lu stayed at home, and she went to see Mrs. Hu these days. The two sisters chatted for most of the day.

Lu Changhua followed Principal Liu to the ice rink.

The ice lanes of the ice rink have been cleaned. These were done by the children voluntarily. They can't play without cleaning.

The children put on their skates and had a great time playing on the ice track.

Lu Changhua returned to the duty room and lit the stove first to warm up the house that had been on fire for several days.

Principal Liu monitored the ice road for a while, but his nose was so cold that he could only run back to the duty room to catch himself.

"Xiao Lu, since you contracted the reservoir, the children have benefited a lot."

Principal Liu praised him while warming his hands and feet.

"No, principal, it's true that I lent you the venue, but I also made some money through you."

"That can be regarded as a small subsidy. You are pulling wires and lighting, so there is no cost. You should rely on rent subsidies."

Lu Changhua asked the principal to light the fire first. He went out again, chopped five or six wooden stumbling blocks with an ax, and carried him in.

Although it is cold today, the weather is sunny, there is no snow, and the north wind is much lighter.

He added more firewood to the stove, then poured a few ladles of cold water into the iron kettle and sat on the stove.

The fire licked the bottom of the kettle, and flames jumped up from both sides of the iron kettle, licking the walls black.

Ten minutes later, the iron kettle made a gurgling sound of water boiling. After a while, the iron kettle made a whistling sound. After another gurgling sound, the steam made a tinkling sound against the lid.

Lu Changhua picked up the kettle, poured some boiling water into the glass, picked up the glass and rinsed it, and then poured more than half of the glass of boiling water.

That's the experience.

In this winter, if you pour boiling water directly into a cup, the biggest possibility is that the cup will burst or fall to the bottom!
The two of them each held a glass of boiling water and covered their hands.

The heat in the cup rises like two puffs of cigarette smoke.

In this quiet winter, looking at the warm sun outside the window and admiring the children playing on the ice rink, this scene seemed familiar to Lu Changhua.

Principal Liu might also be in a trance, as neither of them spoke.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open.

Several chattering girls burst in.

"Wow, it's so warm!"

"Really, what I said is right, it's guaranteed to be warm here."

Han Ying walked in wearing a red scarf.

Two girls followed behind.

Lu Changhua was stunned when he saw her.

"If you're not helping clean things up in the cafeteria, why are you here?!"

"After cleaning up, we'll come to the ice rink to play if we have nothing to do."

Han Ying took off her scarf, shook it, folded it into a square, and placed it on the fire pit.

The other two girls also chattered about their reasons.

"Where are the skates? We want to play."

"Hey, they're all rented out and people are playing around."

"Oops, I'm late, so I told you to come earlier."

Some girls complained.

"Let's play a little later. Let's warm up by the fire first."

Han Ying sat down next to Lu Changhua and stretched out her hand to light the fire.

"You two sit here."

Lu Changhua stood up and gave up his seat to the two girls. He took the ax and went out.

After wandering outside for a while, he came in holding two wooden tripods.

Lu Changhua clearly felt the resentment in Han Ying's eyes.But he just didn't dare to look into her eyes, he didn't dare to meet that pure and affectionate look.

Today not only people from this branch came to play ice, but people from several nearby companies also came one after another.

By around three o'clock in the afternoon, more than 100 people had gathered at the ice rink.

Lu Changhua's ten pairs of skates are not ranked at all.

Some people came from far away and had to play, so they could only sublet it from others at a higher price, which made Luoyang paper expensive for a while.

With Lu Changhua's intervention, Han Ying and others finally got into the game.

He also had to be a free coach for the girls.

Lu Changhua takes care of the business at the ice rink, and Hu Dagui helps with the feed crushing business at the Lu family. Sometimes Lu's mother takes over from him at the ice rink, and he goes back to do the feed crushing business with Hu Dagui.

A week passed like this in a flash.

Students have started school and the ice rink has become quite deserted.

But more and more adults came to play.

The first thing the students do after school is not to go home and do their homework. Instead, they run to the ice rink first to catch the evening game.

Many parents of the children came to see her, and the scene was filled with the sound of spanking.After that, if any students come to play alone, Lu Changhua will not rent it.

But even so, the children still stayed at the ice rink and had a great time even skating directly.

After Women's Day, the ice rink was officially closed.

As soon as noon arrives, the snow is about to melt. The ice is gradually melting, and it will be dangerous to open the ice rink again.

Lu Changhua put away the lanterns and wires, and cleaned up all the debris on the ice rink.

A wooden sign was erected on the edge of the reservoir with the words "No skating allowed" written on it.

The ice rink was closed, and Lu Changhua joined Hu Dagui's feed crushing project.

Spring is about to begin, and every household that breeds must prepare feed.

The Lu family's crusher has become the hope of the entire team.

Some of those who moved quickly years ago have already crushed the feed, and most of them didn't make it in time. We need to hurry up now.

If we wait any longer, it will be spring plowing.

Lu Changhua's making money is only one aspect, and another aspect is favor.

How can you not let others crush you when others ask for your help? !

In this way, they worked until the beginning of April.

In the past month, the crushing income has exceeded 600 yuan.

Of course, this is not profit, and the electricity bill is not included.

However, at least half of the profits are there.

There are many rains in the Qingming season, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls.

This is about the South.

In the Northeast, during the Qingming Festival, the fields are still covered with snow.

Although the snow on the road will melt into water at noon and the road will be muddy, it will still be freezing in the morning and evening.

The snow in the reservoir has also melted partly, especially the snow and ice near the shore are getting thinner day by day.

At noon, the rushing snow water will flow into the gully, and then flow into the reservoir where there is still ice.

During the first lunar month, Lu Changhua used an ice penetration to open an ice cave and tested the water depth with a wooden pole.

The thickness of the ice at that time was 1.5 meters, and there was nearly two meters of water below.He also fished out a few silver carp from this ice hole. Of course, these fish were all wild.

This gave him a reassurance that such deep-water fish can survive the winter.

In his reward column, the golden carp and the small green bottle were each shining with light.

He hasn't had a chance to use it since he got the reward last year.

Although he had a thousand carp fry, how could he dare to put them into the water in the middle of winter? That would not be courting death!
Now that we have entered April, the matter of fish fry has been put on the agenda.There was no way he could wait until June to find fish fry, as the day lilies were already cold.

To find fry, you have to go to a fishery company.

He really didn't know if there was such a unit in Beining County.

He kept beating the drum in his heart. According to his speculation, even if there is a fishing company, it is estimated that there will be no fry now.

It's still freezing cold, where did the fry come from?This is not the area south of the Yellow River.

Nowadays, Lu Changhua has already rushed to the shelves and is on the verge of death.Whether there was one or not, he had to find it.

What's important is that his skills and attributes are always reminding him to keep fish and fish!And it’s still carp, carp, carp!

Although there is no name for carp among the four major fish, this does not affect the sacred status of carp in the hearts of ordinary people in the north.

Hu Dagui finally agreed to raise fish with him after Lu Changhua's repeated persuasion.

The Hu family was worried that Lu Changhua would fail in raising fish, so they only agreed to let Dagui help him raise fish and settle the matter on an annual salary basis.

Of course they don't understand what annual salary is, this is what Lu Changhua said.

Give Hu Dagui an annual salary of 800 yuan a year, regardless of whether it is profitable or not.

Hu Dagui worked for Lu Changhua.

The Hu family is very satisfied with the price.

Even Uncle Hu, a fourth-level worker, earns less than 800 a year, while Hu Dagui only earns 800. Can he be dissatisfied? !
Lao Lu and Lu’s mother both grinned at the salary and asked many times what they would do if they couldn’t get it.

Lu Changhua patted his chest and assured that it would be no problem.

In April, the tractors were all started, the disc harrows were hung up, and the land preparation operations began according to the deployment of the company.

The roar of tractors was heard throughout the branch.

Lu Changhua was going to go to the city to look for fish fry and learn about the market.

He originally wanted to take Hu Dagui with him, so that he could have someone to take care of him when the time comes.

But when he thought about the round trip expenses, food and accommodation, he still endured it.

In the early days of starting a business, it’s better to work alone if you have to work harder.

That night, he told his parents about going to the city, and of course Lao Lu and Mother Lu couldn't stop him.

"You have to be careful, don't meddle in other people's business, and remember what happened last time."

Mother Lu was very worried about him. After all, he was going out with money this time, and he was alone.

"Mom and Dad, don't worry, it's not my first time."

That night, Mother Lu found out the clothes and trousers that her son would wear tomorrow, and sewed the seams that needed to be sewed and mended the ones that needed to be mended.

Lao Lu also took time to fill an enamel jar with half a jar of boiling water and helped his son iron his clothes and pants several times before he felt relieved.

At this time, Lu Changhua was already lying on the fire bed and fast asleep.
