"By the way, can you get fish?" Yang Qing asked Mouse again.

"Sister, don't you have fish yourself? Why do you ask me for it?" Mouse was puzzled.

"I'm not talking about sea fish, I'm talking about freshwater fish, which are alive and used for breeding. If not, fry can also be used," Yang Qing said.

Mouse nodded, "Yes, someone used fish to exchange things with us before, but there are no fry. The fry need to be cultivated by special people, and the fish should be leftover from the past. Sister, how much do you want?"

Yang Qing thought for a moment and said, "Two hundred catties, grass carp, carp, and crucian carp are all fine."

"Okay, I'll bring it to you tomorrow." The mouse nodded.

He looked at Yang Qing's truck again and said, "Your truck can carry five tons of feed. I'll transport it all at once tomorrow. I'll bring the fish the day after tomorrow!"

"Okay." Yang Qing nodded. Anyway, two cars of water would have to be transported twice.

"Then I'll trade sea fish with you, one pound for one pound. You won't lose, right? Sea fish are much more expensive than freshwater fish."

"Okay!" Mouse nodded. Indeed, sea fish are worth a higher price.

After Mouse and the others left, Leng Yi drove into the truck and took a different route to find a place where no one was around. Yang Qing put the truck into the space.

It was too far home, so I took out a mountain bike that I had collected from a certain CEO.

"This is the first time I've driven a motorcycle since the end of the world." Yang Qing said with a smile.

Leng Yi got on the motorcycle with his long legs, and Yang Qing sat behind and hugged his waist.

There are no traffic police now, and I don’t wear helmets anymore. Although the weather is hot, the wind on my face is quite comfortable. I haven’t felt so relaxed in a long time.

Yang Qing opened her hands and shouted loudly, the wind making her hair fly.

Leng Yi curled his lips slightly and shouted, "Be careful and hold on tight!"

"I know!" Yang Qing held Leng Yi's shoulders and laughed loudly.

When you are almost home, find a deserted corner and put the motorcycle into the space.

After returning home, he called Lu Lin and the three of them to enter the space together.

Lu Lin was surprised to see chickens, ducks, geese, cattle and sheep, "Have you found them all?"

"Well, now we can really open a farm." Yang Qing smiled.

"Let's divide a piece of land and make a pig pen, a sheep pen and a cow pen. Chickens, ducks and geese can be put together, but of course they can be separated." Leng Yi said.

"Let the chickens be separated. Ducks and geese can be together." Yang Qing said, "By the way, can ducks and geese be put into the field? Will they eat the seedlings?"

"Yes." Leng Yi said, "So generally during the seedling stage, ducks are put into the field so that they are not afraid of them eating the seedlings. When they grow up a little, the seedlings are taller and they are not afraid of ducks eating them."

“On the contrary, ducks in the fields can play a very good role in the rice fields. They will eat weeds, snails and other harmful substances in the fields. The places they scratch are equivalent to loosening the soil for the seedlings, which is very beneficial to their growth. "

"But you can't let the ducks in when the rice grows. They will eat the rice ears and then the yield will be reduced."

"Is there so much knowledge here?" Yang Qing was curious.

"Actually, you can put them into the fish pond first, but when the fish comes tomorrow, you have to see if it is a big fish or a small fish. If the small fish is not good, they will be eaten by them." Leng Yi added.

"Then let's dig a smaller fish pond for them so that they have a place to swim," Lu Lin said.

"Okay!" Leng Yi nodded, "But there are so many ditches on the side of the field that they can enter."

"But we don't have any worms or snails here. What do they eat?" Yang Qing asked.

"Although it doesn't exist now, maybe it will appear in the future. Besides, if you buy a fish, it will definitely appear. The fish will carry some eggs, parasites, etc., and slowly it will become the same as the outside environment." Leng Yi said. "Oh." Yang Qing nodded, "Let's make them a home first."

The three of them started working together and built five more pens with wooden strips, one each for chickens, pigs, cows, sheep, and one for ducks and geese.

"Will the cattle and sheep eat the rice seedlings?" Lu Lin asked.

"It's possible." Leng Yi nodded and looked towards the field, "But it's impossible to enclose such a large area, so we can only enclose them. When you want them to go out to graze, just keep them farther away."

There are still hundreds of acres of land in the space, with a lot of grass growing there, enough for cattle and sheep to eat, so no special feeding is needed.

However, chickens and ducks still need to be fed food.

"Actually, it's okay to feed some pig feed to chickens and ducks. Mix it with grain and eat it to save some grain. You can let them eat rice after this batch of rice is harvested." Leng Yi said.

"Ah? Isn't it wasteful to feed them?" Yang Qing asked.

Leng Yi smiled and said, "I remember that what you asked for at that time was hybrid rice seed. In fact, hybrid rice is not delicious, but it has high yield, which is very good for today's people who are short of food."

"Isn't hybrid rice delicious?" Yang Qing was surprised. She remembered Grandpa Yuan many years ago. It was he who solved the country's food problem so that everyone could eat.

"Yes, hybrid rice has a high yield. The yield per mu can reach 800 to 1,000 kilograms. Although the yield is high, the taste is not very good. It is generally used as reserve grain and feed grain before the end of the world."

"Now that there is no food to eat, it still tastes good. But compared with those early-sun rice and late-japonica rice, the taste will be worse. And the yield of those rice is much lower, the maximum yield per mu is more than 1,000 kilograms, and some even only have Six hundred to eight hundred pounds.”

"So you're right to choose hybrid rice. In today's food-deficit environment, yield is the key. If you can't even eat the rice, why should you pay attention to the taste?"

Yang Qing and Lu Lin both nodded. They didn't know anything about this. So there is so much knowledge about food?
"Then let's grow some delicious food in the future. By the way, the part of our own breeding should be good. If the breeding is successful, we will grow more." Yang Qing said.

Leng Yi nodded, "Those are very high-quality rice seeds. They should be delicious. We can grow more varieties in the future."

At night, Moazi still brought the water tanker over, and Yang Qing put the truck into the space to collect water.

The next day, water was exchanged for feed during the day.

On the third day, there were two more trucks, a water tanker and another loaded with 200 kilograms of fish, all of which were put on ice.

The mice were kept in pig cages with two piglets, and the fish were kept in blue plastic buckets commonly used in fish markets. Each bucket can hold a hundred kilograms.

Because they knew that Yang Qing and the others were raising fish, they also specially installed a small oxygen concentrator to prevent the fish from dying of lack of oxygen when the weather was too hot.

Yang Qing was very satisfied with Mouse's thoughtfulness, so he also liked doing business with him.

"Sister, if you want anything else in the future, just come to me." The mouse was also very happy.

After these few business trips, I got a lot of praise from Cai Qin, especially these trucks of fresh water, which were sold for a lot of money.

His status suddenly became much higher than that of others, and even Lin Zhen benefited from it.

"Okay!" Yang Qing smiled, waved and got into the car.

Still running to a deserted place, putting the truck into the space, and riding the motorcycle back.

When they got home, the two went directly into the space, put the pigs into the pigsty, and moved the fish to the fish pond.

"Will you just fall down like this?" Yang Qing asked, "What do fish eat?"

"Many people now feed fish feed. There is so much grass in our space and we can just feed it to grass." Leng Yi said, "The fish fed with grass taste much better than those fed with feed."

Yang Qing nodded, "Let's go mow the grass together later, and we can leave some for the cattle and sheep."
