Back to 78: My Leisurely Country Life

"Hahahaha, I'm rich!"

A group of wild rabbits migrated to this berry forest recently and occupied a place.

There were about twenty of them in total.

He Qiang didn't plan to catch them all, but he controlled all the pregnant female rabbits and took them out of their holes.

Then he picked several male rabbits of good size and took them back to kill for meat.

There were four pregnant female rabbits, and they would be enough for breeding after giving birth.

It happened that the pigpen at home was repaired, and a rabbit house could be built after the stable was expanded. After tying up the rabbits and carrying them back and putting them in the backpack, He Qiang happily went to play with the golden monkeys. There were many animals in the berry forest, and he didn't plan to catch them all in one fell swoop. He learned a term in the later Internet era, called sustainable fishing, and He Qiang thought it was great.

This thing should be treated like leeks, one crop after another!

"It's time to go to the county. Let's get a can of linden honey and ask Brother Chen to test the price. Xiaohua has been a little tanned recently, let's get something to wipe it off for her."

He Qiang thought about this, and then his thoughts began to spread.

If I have to buy something to put on my face, what about the clothes on my body?

What about the clothes inside?

Thinking of those little girls in fancy clothes on the Internet in later generations who twisted around every day, a trace of determination flashed in He Qiang's eyes.

His wife is no worse than those Internet celebrities. If she dresses up well, won't she be like a fairy?

After the filly had eaten and drunk enough, He Qiang took the mother and son down the mountain.

He Qiang did not go home directly, but took a detour to the fish pond.

This is the tacit understanding he and He Yongjun have formed recently.

Every Every day He Yongjun would fish for floats in the fish pond and let He Qiang take them home.

If He Qiang came back early, they would go together. If He Qiang came back late, they would leave them by the pond and wait for He Qiang to take them home.

The team members didn’t know that the floats in the fish pond were nutritious enough to allow chickens and ducks to lay more eggs, so they were not interested in the things that were everywhere in the paddy fields.

He Qiang came relatively early today, and He Yongjun just started fishing.

Seeing He Qiang coming, He Yongjun muttered,"The lotus roots are growing better and better, but why haven’t I caught any of those black fish fry?"

How could I catch them?

I didn’t put them in at all!

He Qiang fooled his old father,"Dad, those little fish fry are so smart, how could they not hide from your net."

He Yongjun felt that it made sense, so he didn’t hesitate. He pointed to the lotus roots in the fish pond and said happily,"I have never seen lotus roots that grow so well in my life. I will definitely not lose money this year. The lotus roots will definitely have a good harvest."

He Qiang smiled and said,"I'm afraid we can collect more than 10,000 catties. The wholesale price is 0.2 cents per catty, which is more than 200 yuan. Basically, the fish meat is pure profit. 0.3 cents per catty. If we can get 1,000 catties, we can have a good year this year!"

He Yongjun widened his eyes, his mouth was about to smile crookedly, and then he waved his hand to deny,"It's impossible to have so much!

Two acres and seven mu of land, one acre is 2,000 catties, after all, we don't use much fertilizer.

Although it grows so well now, the estimated yield will not be too much.

After all, our lotus seeds are only a few hundred catties, and it would be great if we can increase it four or five times.

And how can it be 2 cents per catty? The purchase price of the vegetable company is only more than one cent.

"

He Qiang knew what kind of mentality He Yongjun had.

In future terms, he couldn't open champagne at halftime and celebrate victory in advance.

But He Qiang knew those lotus roots very well!

Although he didn't give too much energy to those lotus roots, they still had a share.

In later generations, it was common for lotus roots to yield several thousand kilograms per mu. His"irrigation" was much better than chemical fertilizers. No matter how powerful chemical fertilizers were, they could only increase production but not improve quality. On the contrary, the quality would be affected by the increase in production.

But"irrigation" not only enhances production, but also improves quality.

These two mu of lotus roots can easily produce tens of thousands of kilograms, and the quality is good, so what if they are sold at a higher price?

"Dad, the wholesale price of the vegetable company is to eat both ends, the farmers and the workers. They complain every day that they are not making money. The city people buy vegetables at a high price, and our farmers grow vegetables at a low price. I will sell them directly to the army. The price will definitely be better than what they get from the vegetable company. There is no reason why I can't sell them at a high price."

He Qiang looked confident.

If he put the lotus root on the market, it might be a bit troublesome.

But if he sold it to the army, he didn't believe that the vegetable company had the courage to intervene.

The army also did not allow the vegetable company to intervene and raise the price.

"Really? Hey, it would be great to sell it to the army! It would be great to sell it to the army!"

He Yongjun was so happy that his mouth was about to be crooked with smile.

Even if the output of black fish in the fish pond reached 1,000 kilograms, 500 kilograms would be more than 100 yuan.

More than 100 yuan, this is the money that farmers have to work hard for a year to earn! It is easy to make money by raising fish, which is much more promising than farming.

After He Yongjun fished out the float, he saw the rabbit in He Qiang's backpack and asked happily:"You caught so many? Let's keep them at home and don't eat them."

Obviously, under the leadership of He Qiang, He Yongjun's mind is no longer just about making money.

The benefits of breeding are obvious. Now his first reaction when he sees the rabbit is to keep it at home.

"There are three pregnant female rabbits, which is enough. Let's cook the male rabbits tonight."

He Qiang said.

He Yongjun listened to He Qiang's"wasteful" remarks, but he did not scold his son for being unthrifty as he did in the past.

There are six rabbits, three of which are pregnant female rabbits, and it is indeed okay to eat the remaining three.

A rabbit litter will give birth to at least five rabbits. The three female rabbits can breed hundreds of rabbits in a year.

Calculated at five kilograms per rabbit, this is also several hundred kilograms of meat.

When he got home, He Qiang took the rabbits out.

He Tiantian couldn't take her eyes off him after seeing them, and asked He Qiang eagerly:

"Dad, can I have this little rabbit?"

He Qiang said generously,"You can pick any of these three. I'll give them to you from now on. You'll be asked to add grass."

He Tiantian was very generous. She looked at the other three male rabbits and said,"What about these?"

He Qiang readily agreed,"All of them are for you to raise! You play with these three first! These three female rabbits are pregnant. Don't grab them too hard, or you won't have any little rabbits to play with."

He Tiantian didn't doubt him and happily moved to the three female rabbits, watching them jumping around.

He Yongjun followed He Qiang in calmly and took the three male rabbits to the back door to kill them.

He Qiang said to Wu Shuhua,"The rabbit legs are roasted. Didn't you get a lot of cumin and white sesame from Wu Youhua last time? Don't be stingy with the seasoning. You can buy more when you run out. It happened that Sun Jifa's family brought back a goose yesterday. I went to him to ask for a leg to stew with the rabbit head. Remember to put more chili and pepper. The remaining rabbit meat can be fried."

Each of the three male rabbits that He Qiang brought back weighed at least six pounds.

Even if they were divided into three different ways of cooking, the portion of each dish was not small.

Wu Shuhua had gradually adapted to her husband's extravagance.

But the family's life was getting better and better, and they were not in financial difficulties because of his extravagance, so Wu Shuhua just let him be.

But He Yongjun, who was killing rabbits in the back, jumped up and shouted as if his butt was on fire,"Landlords don't enjoy life as well as you do."

He Qiang said confidently,"You know that the spicy braised rabbit head goes well with wine, wouldn't it be good to drink some mulberry wine when the time comes! Just tell me if you want to eat it or not!" He Yongjun's eyes flickered, and he turned around and cursed,"You will ruin this family sooner or later!"
