My 1995 Small Farm

  Chapter 357 I can't impress you if you don't believe it

   "What are you in a hurry for? You just came back from the city, so you can't rest at home?"

   In the afternoon, Gao Xiulan sat on the soles of her shoes under the warm sun, watching Wang Susu holding her baby and tidying Chen Ling's clothes, she complained a little.

   "It's nothing, but the weather is getting warmer. I want to go to the mountain to see how the fish fry I released last autumn are doing."

  Chen Ling chuckled, he released fish fry in Yamanakako, but it was not last autumn, but winter.

   Those were also a batch of fish fry bred by spiritual water, and it was not a problem for some of them to survive.

  Gao Xiulan frowned: "Is it okay to put fish fry in autumn? I'm afraid it won't make it through winter."

  He thought it was the betta fish that Chen Ling had brought back from Yaowang Temple.

   "It's okay, it doesn't cost money anyway. Mom, your eyes are not very good, so don't use the soles of your shoes. Didn't you buy shoes at home?"

  After Chen Ling finished speaking, Wang Susu also said: "Mother, Ah Ling bought a lot of shoes for you and dad, but you don't wear them, and they all spoiled when left unattended."

Gao Xiulan laughed and said: "The shoes you bought, your father will wear them when you go home, and put them away if you boast to outsiders, and don't want to wear them if they are too expensive, and then there are shoes bought outside, but It’s not as comfortable as our homemade shoes.”

   Just as he was saying this, Wang Cunye walked over from behind the farm and said excitedly, "Good thing, good thing."

   Make everyone look confused.

   "What's the matter, dad? What's the matter? Could it be that our dog is matched?"

   Seeing him so happy, Chen Ling thought that Xiao Jin was in heat and asked Hei Wa to match him.

   "What, you're only thinking about the dog."

  Wang Cunye glared at his son-in-law, hugged his eldest grandson, and said cheerfully: "This year, our family has a little swallow, and we are building a nest in the kitchen."

   "Go, Ruirui, grandpa will take you to see Little Swallow."

  Little swallows live in the family, which is a good omen in the countryside, symbolizing that the people in this family are kind and blessed.

   On their side, the little swallows are allowed to build nests under the eaves and indoors to reproduce.

  Old people often teach their children to love swallows, and they are not allowed to hit swallows, poke bird's nests, or eat swallows.

   There are also sayings that "swallows can't live in evil people's houses" and "beating swallows blinds their eyes".

  Wang Susu and Gao Xiulan were overjoyed when they heard that Little Swallow was living in.

  The family hurried to the kitchen, and sure enough, they saw two swallows flying in and out of the kitchen, and two swallows saw someone coming, so they circled and did not dare to fall.

   "Wow, what a little swallow. We haven't lived in a swallow since our new house was built."

  Wang Susu watched happily, with indescribable joy in her heart.

   and Gao Xiulan hurriedly cleaned up the debris at the kitchen door, so as not to hinder the little swallow's entry and exit.

  Wang Cunye hugged Ruirui and pointed to the door and said: "I see that the half-lazi nest on the door is still there, just wait, the little swallow is the most diligent, and will build a nest in two days."

Chen Ling raised his head and whistled a few times at the little swallow, learned a few swallow calls, and then looked at the old man: "Father, let's stop sticking around here, don't you see that the little swallow is afraid to fly in? With mud still in his mouth, he dare not enter or fall, how tiring it is.”

"is that so?"

  They looked up suspiciously, and indeed, there were two little swallows lingering nearby, one of them did not dare to fall down.

   "Oh, it's true, let's get up and drive quickly, and don't dare to tire the little swallow."

  Gao Xiulan quickly pulled Wang Susu out of the kitchen, and then the family left the kitchen, watching swallows flying in and out busy building their nests not far away.

   "Father, what were you doing behind the scenes just now? Are you playing with snakes again?"

  The old man didn't come out after lunch. Chen Ling thought he was taking a nap, but he didn't expect him to be in the backyard.

   "No, those long worms are useless. These days, cats are always coming to our house. Mountain raccoons and village cats will sneak into the house without paying attention. I am afraid of losing money, so I want to prepare some medicine to drive them away."

  Wang Cunye said, and smiled: "Fortunately, the little swallow came to live in the house, which proves that our family's fortune did not let those cats break down."

   There is an old saying: When a cat comes poor, a dog comes rich, and a rabbit comes white cloth.

   It is said that when a cat comes to the house, it will break the fortune, if a dog comes, it will bring fortune, and if a rabbit comes, digging holes randomly is like digging a grave. It is considered a bad omen, and someone in the family will die.

   This one didn't come here by accident, it's the kind that can't be chased away.

For example, a dog came to Chen Dazhi's family for a year, and he went to his strawberry field all day long to help take care of the strawberries. He couldn't drive them away, so Chen Dazhi had to take them home and raise them. It is said that he made a lot of money that year. money.

   This is naturally a folk superstition.

  But many old people believe it and are very taboo.

  Especially Wang Cunye, living in his own stockade is in sharp contrast to living in his son-in-law's house. He thinks that his son-in-law's house is a treasured place, so naturally he must guard this treasured land of geomantic omen.

   "That's it. Isn't there a dog? Why do cats keep sneaking into the house?"

   Hei Wa Sangou took him away, but there are still a group of puppies guarding the house. They usually patrol around the fruit forest, and it is said that no small beasts will approach them. How dare those cats.

   "That is to say, our dogs are so powerful, they will chase them and bite them as soon as they come, or they will sneak into the house when they find an opening. The dogs can't go up the roof, trees, or fences."

  Wang Cunye sighed: "Otherwise, I wouldn't have thought about it."

   Chen Ling nodded, thinking that no wonder Little Swallow was so happy to come.

   It turned out that those cats made them suspicious.

  There are always cats coming to the house, but there is something in the house that attracts them.

   Either fish or nearby birds.

  Cats are always thieves.

   is also very patient.

  Once you are nostalgic for the environment of the farm, no matter how you drive it away, you will still come back in the end.

   Then I stopped looking at it, teased my son, and went up the mountain slowly.

  The Yamanaka Lake is remote, there are no mountain roads to walk around, and there are no shops in front of the village or behind. It is difficult to carry fish for sale, but this lake is deep and wide, and fish farming will be no problem in the future.

  Keeping ornamental fish is pure waste. Raising food fish such as slender salmon is the right way, and this place is also well guarded.

  In the reservoir, not to mention the improvement of water quality, it takes a lot of effort just to prevent jealous people from poisoning.

   Besides, he has spent money to contract the area around the mountain, so it would be a pity not to use it.

  It's just now that it's just raising ornamental fish, it's not worth tinkering with with great fanfare.

  Ornamental fish can only be raised in two or three ponds in the fruit forest.

  Transportation is also convenient.

  Walking around Lake Yamanaka, Chen Ling observed that the fish released last winter were not bad, at least these naturally grown ornamental fish could be sold for a price.

  This proves that the fish fry bred in spiritual water have already improved some of their genes. When they grow up in the external environment, they don’t need spiritual water to raise them later, so that’s fine.

   "Well, let the little sheep take away the ornamental fish in the lotus pond in two days, and then dig a fish pond to raise another batch."

  Chen Ling made some calculations. He was never in a hurry when it came to earning money and doing business. Today was his first day back from the city.

  When I went, I spent a day and a night riding a motorcycle while walking and playing.

   When he came back, Chen Ling didn't ride all the way. He took the dog and walked most of the way back by boat.

   When I got off the boat in Tenghe Country, southeast of the county, I switched to a motorcycle and went home.

  The waterway is very fast, and I got home last night.

  So Chen Ling was going to rest at home for two days to spend time with his wife and children.

   To put it bluntly, it is mainly to accompany the daughter-in-law.

  I was pregnant the year before last, and my son was born last year. The son is less than one year old and has a second child.

  Although this second child is what both of them are looking forward to.

   However, Chen Ling was also afraid that his daughter-in-law would have psychological problems because she was pregnant and had children continuously.

  When Huai Ruirui was pregnant, Wang Susu was nagging a lot, and her mind was also a lot more sensitive.

  So in the next two days, apart from digging fish ponds in the morning and evening, Chen Ling spent most of the rest of the time taking care of his baby, and going to the village drugstore to help Wang Susu, and taking their mother and wife for a walk with their dogs at night.

   After playing for two days in a row, on the third day, I caught all the ornamental fish in the lotus pond and the canal, and let the little sheep transport them away.

  It was Saturday, and Wang Zhenzhen was at home, running wildly with the little kids and dogs in the village,

  Seeing a big car driving towards the farm, he stopped the car at the entrance of the village and climbed up like monkeys.

  When he arrived at the farm, he took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, and jumped into the water to help Chen Ling catch fish.

   These bears may look naughty, but they are all good at catching fish.

   Save them a lot of time.

  Before noon, all the ornamental fish in the lotus ponds and canals were fished out, only the loaches and eels that came out of the mud holes in warmer weather were active.

  The fry in the lotus pond also belong to the fish released last winter.

   It was when the fish was caught in the twelfth lunar month to make salted fish, and there were no big fish in it.

   However, Chen Ling felt that the water sources around the farm contained spiritual water ingredients, so he put another batch in Yamanaka Lake for observation and comparison.

   Fortunately, the final result did not disappoint him.

  Frylings cultivated in Lingshui can also grow to a good condition in ordinary water quality, and there will be no major changes.

   It means that the fish with ordinary water quality are not as big as the ornamental fish in the farm lotus pond and the surrounding canals.

   This time the fish was taken away, except for the freight for the little sheep and the loss on the way, Chen Ling made a net profit of 5,000 yuan.

  The villagers who knew about it all gasped.

  Those fancy fish are just playthings. They can only be seen but not eaten, so how can they be sold for so much money?

  Fugui really does what he does to make money.

  Everything is for fun, and everything can make a lot of money, just thinking about it makes people jealous.

  In addition to selling salted eggs and wine, Chen Ling's family had another income. The whole family was naturally very happy. Chen Ling immediately rewarded Wang Zhenzhen with a small bicycle, which made the little girl jump and scream excitedly.

   On the day I bought it, I rode a new bicycle and my kids went outside the village to gather straw.

  Gao Xiulan was so angry that she pinned her on the bed and beat her up, calling her a tomboy who knew how to harm things.

   Isn't it a scourge?

  The so-called straw stacking is to ride a bicycle at a very fast speed and crash into the straw stack.

  The straw stack is soft and will not hurt people.

   But the car is damaged, let alone a new bicycle.

  Can Gao Xiulan not be angry when she finds out?

  The new bicycle was confiscated the next day, and Wang Zhenzhen was not allowed to ride it anymore. The little girl pouted and was unhappy for a long time.

  She originally wanted to ride a bicycle to school to show off to her teachers and classmates, but this is no longer the case.

  …

  Chen Ling was willing to buy a new bicycle for his sister-in-law, so naturally he would not be reluctant to buy it for his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

  He also wants to buy a small motorcycle for the old man.

   That is, the second elder refused to ask for anything.

  Although they didn't buy it in the end, the villagers also saw Chen Ling's wealth and wealth, and they were all very stimulated.

   After all, how much income can only be earned from farming throughout the year, and Chen Ling sells a cart of fish for 5,000 yuan.

  The key point is that they didn’t know how to make any wine from the farm before, and the salted egg family didn’t want their wine.

   But selling fish is not easy.

  Chenwangzhuang has a lot of water and fish, and you can find two catties of fish in just a few muddy ditches and puddles. Not to mention that it is next to the reservoir, as long as there is water, there will be fish.

  Even those fancy ornamental fish, are they afraid that they cannot be raised if there is water?

   This is effortless, and it is nothing more than a incidental thing while farming.

  So in the next period of time, every household followed Chen Ling's practice and dug ponds on their own farmland to prepare fish.

People who already had a pond on the north side of the dam hurriedly cleared it out, and then carried buckets to fish in the ditch in the river. When they saw beautiful fish, they picked up the bucket and put them in the pond. He has a good relationship with Chen Ling, so he couldn't help but come to ask for fry.

   Chen Ling did not refuse anyone who came.

   It's not that he's stupid and generous.

   But his model is not worth promoting.

  The villagers want to raise ornamental fish and sell them for a price, so they can only use his fry.

   It’s not just about taking the fry back from him and breeding them.

  Even if it is within two generations, if the number of subsequent reproductions increases, the appearance of the fish will gradually become ordinary, and they will not sell for much money.

   At that time, it doesn’t matter once or twice. If there are too many times, the villagers will not be ashamed to ask Chen Ling for nothing.

   Naturally, you will spend money to buy it.

  Chen Ling didn't want the money for fish fry, he had other plans in mind.

   The business of breeding ornamental fish can only have certain advantages if the scale of farming is expanded.

  He doesn't mind mobilizing the villagers to raise fish together.

  The larger the scale and the more money it makes, the more vehicles can be brought in to transport the fish, and it can also be transported to distant cities.

  In this way, hello, hello, everyone, everyone can make money, so that you don’t have to hide it and attract people’s envy.

   Unexpectedly, his act of generosity to give fry would win him a good reputation. After a few times, the people who came later felt ashamed to take advantage of it, and prepared their own money to buy it.

   From the folks in the village, Chen Ling didn't overcharge him.

   But there are so many villagers who want it. Most people in the whole village have come to ask for fish fry. In the end, the money for the fish fry alone is more than 1,000 yuan.

  Including these few days, the money from selling salted eggs scattered here and there would be a lot of 8,000 yuan without leaving home.

   This made Sun Yanhong, who knew the news, very jealous. At the same time, she was greatly irritated by Chen Ling's hooking up with Little Sheep, and felt very upset.

   This is a long-term big deal.

   There is a profitable business, and she even left her freight station instead of looking for it, and went to cooperate with her former employees who went out to run the order gang.

  This kid has too much prejudice against her.

   Helpless, Sun Yanhong sincerely lowered her attitude for the first time and came to Chen Ling for cooperation.

  She came not only for the fish, but also for the wine on the farm.

"I said wealth, why don't you make money with the money you put aside, you have to wait for more than half a year? What's the point of selling it now? Anyway, if the time is short, it will be wine. The shorter the time, the better the taste." If it doesn’t change, who knows if it’s sold?”

   "We'll keep earning the money when the time comes, and my sister can help you take out food. Compared with your current hustle and bustle, you don't earn much?"

  Sun Yanhong squatted beside Chen Ling's wicker chair, begging bitterly.

  The meaning inside and outside the words is obvious, it is to let Chen Ling sell some low-quality wine and sell it as shoddy.

  As long as the taste remains the same, others will not be able to drink it.

  At that time, ordinary wine can also sell for sky-high prices.

   Isn't this crazy money.

   Chen Ling was a little amused when he heard the words: "Is the wine from my farm so popular? I haven't been selling wine for a long time. I just sold some officials last year."

   "That's right, officials like it. That's not a good thing. Many people can't buy it even if they ask for it. They don't know who the wine came from."

  "Anyone who knows is asking about it, and asked me to buy it."

  Sun Yanhong became more and more excited as she spoke, and said in a hurried tone: "Now is a great time. After passing this village, there will be no such shop."

   She naturally exaggerated.

  Chen Ling just shook his head, "Forget it, you are all crooked ideas, and they won't last long."

  He thinks there are many ways to make money.

   It depends on whether you are willing to do it or not.

  For the sake of that little money, it is too unreasonable to cheat.

   And what a lot of effort.

   With this time, it would be great to go out and play with my wife and children.

   "Then tell me, what business do you have, you can partner with that softie Fang Boming, why can't you partner with me, I just buy your wine every year, how much money will you make."

  Sun Yanhong was sincere this time, but Chen Ling didn't believe her.

   In the end, I had no choice but to say: "If there is any business in the future, you can come to me, even if you lose money, I will have nothing to say."

   This woman was also furious, she could see a certain characteristic in Chen Ling, whether she said she had no desires or desires, or no ambitions, but such a person had endless good things in his hands.

  All kinds of profitable transactions one after another, making people overwhelmed.

  So she would rather lose money and cooperate with Chen Ling, just to change Chen Ling's impression of her. This time she showed 200% sincerity, so she couldn't believe that she couldn't impress him.
