There is a dragon in my fish pond

Chapter 19 The joy of harvest!
Thousands of saplings fell to the ground, and after more than half a month, the fish pond was almost repaired, and 20 fish fry were put into the fish pond under the watchful eyes of the villagers.

"Just wait and see how these two idiots from the Li family even pay for the few remaining dilapidated houses of the Li family."

While knocking on the melon seeds, Hu Lan sneered at what the Li family brothers did.

"They're all from the same village, so don't be so rude."

Second Aunt Hong rolled her eyes and glanced at Hu Lan.

"Hey, I'm talking about the daughter-in-law of the Hong family. I remember you saying how poor the Li family was a few days ago! It's only been a few days, and you changed your mind. Could it be that a meal of beef buns bought you off?"

Hu Lan's words aroused ridicule from the surrounding villagers.Everyone in the village knew what kind of person Aunt Hong was, and they laughed when they laughed, and didn't take it seriously.

Second Aunt Hong seemed to be used to it, but she just gave Hu Lan a look and didn't care.

Secretary Zhao on the side of the fish pond frowned. His original idea was to ask Li Yafan to make steady progress, visit nearby counties, and gain an in-depth understanding of market demand, before deciding whether fish selling should be the mainstream industry.

However, Li Yafan thinks that the saplings have been planted in the soil now, and the future cultivation will include pruning, pest control and disease prevention, plus the renovation of the dilapidated houses around, which will require manpower, sand, bricks and stones.

These things require a huge amount of capital, and the 10 yuan saved by the fish dealers a few days ago is already running out now.

In order to complete these facilities as soon as possible, and let the villagers see the achievements of his Li family brothers, Li Yafan urgently needs a huge amount of capital.

People in the village with fish farming experience shook their heads when they saw the miscellaneous fish in the pond, and a few elders who were close to the Li family on weekdays persuaded them: "Xiao Erzi, there are many kinds of miscellaneous fish in the growth period. It takes a long time, if you do this, you will lose money!"

"Don't worry, my brother has a reason for doing this."

Li Yaping has [-]% trust in his younger brother.

"Ah! A pair of fools, wasting so much money for nothing."

"It's not a big deal. The expenses these days are enough to build several houses in our mountain village."

Li Yafan on the side heard it clearly.

How can I, Li Yafan, do business at a loss? It is true that miscellaneous fish have a long growth period, but you can see that, but I have a small black fish that you can't see.

Li Yafan didn't bother to have more verbal disputes with others, just wait and see, the fun has just begun.

In the middle of the night, with a bright moon in the sky, a sky full of stars, and a cool breeze blowing by the fish pond, a figure staggered to the edge of the pond carrying a huge wooden barrel, it was none other than Li Yafan.

The wooden barrel contained a bucket full of water for raising small black fish.

Along the way, a lot of water was spilled in the bucket, and Li Yafan called it a pity.

Li Yafan didn't want anyone to know about the little black fish's secret, otherwise he and his elder brother would not be able to spill a bucket of water when they carried it. My heart aches, but the water left in the bucket is enough.

At the beginning, when I caught fish in the puddle with my eldest brother in private, the people in the village didn't know about it, but now my every move is under the surveillance of the whole village, so I have to be cautious.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of the villagers, Li Yafan used his housekeeping skills. After precise liquid dilution calculations, Li Yafan has accurately grasped how much "bath water" of small snakeheads should be placed in a pond, so that the water in the fish pond can be removed. The growth period of trash fish is stable in a range acceptable to ordinary people.

It is neither too slow to grow nor too exaggerated to arouse the suspicion of the villagers.

Several fish ponds came down, and Li Yafan's wooden barrel gradually emptied.

"Don't let me down."

It was the first time to use the "bath water" of the little black fish in the fish pond, and Li Yafan was not sure, so he returned home with a feeling of apprehension.

In the dead of night, there were lights in the village, but the dilapidated house in the Li family compound was still emitting scorched yellow incandescent lights. Li Yafan knew that it was the elder brother's room. It was so late, and he didn't know what the elder brother was doing.

Thinking of this, he walked forward, knocked on the old wooden door, and walked in. There was nothing in the room, only a worn-out plank bed and a worn-out desk.

It turned out that Li Yaping was reading a book.

A long distance away, but the title of the book was scanned by the sharp-eyed Li Yafan——"How to Raise Freshwater Fish and Shrimp"

"Brother, you."

Li Yafan had a sore nose and didn't know what to say.

Li Yaping smiled.

"I'm the boss of this family, our family can't rely on you alone."

In the past few days, Li Yafan has been running around, never idle for a moment, Li Yaping loves his precious brother, but he has not received higher education in a big city like his brother.

In order to be able to help my younger brother, I can only make up for my weakness with diligence.

Li Yafan punched his brother hard.

"Then you have to take a good rest. You are exhausted. Who will I rely on in the future?"

The two are close brothers, and they already know each other's thoughts like the back of their hands.

"Don't worry, brother is in good health. Besides, our good life has just begun, how can I let you, a brat, enjoy the happiness alone?"

"Haha."

In the dilapidated house, the hearty laughter of the two brothers came.

The rising of dawn symbolizes the beginning of a new day.

The two brothers didn't dare to slack off, they would wander around the pond from time to time, bringing a few buckets of "bath water" for the small black fish they had collected every now and then.

When Li Yaping asked, he only said that it was a kind of nutrient solution that he learned from books when he was in college, and he prepared it himself.

Nearly half a month later, Li Yaping was standing by the fish pond, looking at all kinds of fish that were alive and kicking all over the fish pond, his jaws could not close in shock.

"These fry have only grown in half a month. Brother, are you sure, this is a nutrient solution, not a hormone?"

Through reading and studying in the past few days, Li Yaping also knows that there is something called hormone in this world, which can promote the growth of fish, but eating this kind of fish is very harmful to the human body.

Li Yafan couldn't explain clearly about the little black fish, so he shook his head and said, "Can the nutrient solution I prepared by myself be fake?"

Li Yaping nodded, and still told Li Yafan: "Brother, earning money is earning money. We still can't do things that violate our conscience."

Li Yaping knew his younger brother's character, but if he should be instructed, he still had to be instructed.

"Don't worry, big brother, what are you waiting for, hurry up and prepare the car! This time, I will send some more to Li Laoer."

"okay!"

Seeing all kinds of lively fish in this fish pond, Li Yaping seemed to have endless energy in his heart.
