Golden Fishing Village

Ao Muyang did not ask much about the specific handling process of this poisoning case.

As he said, Wang Dongliang broke the law, and there are laws to punish him.

As for the consent signed by Wang Youwei, it was not the result of his design. When Wang Youwei asked him to contact those tourists at the beginning, he promised him so.

As a person, you must keep your word. He kept his word and helped Wang Dongliang, and Wang Youwei had to keep his word and help him.

It was a coincidence that he got Wang Youwei's consent letter for him to contract Longxiang Lake, and the catfish seedlings and crab seedlings were also delivered. Lu Hu helped him hire a transport ship to deliver the two seedlings together.

Ao Muyang immediately organized the villagers to push carts to Longxiang Lake to transport these seedlings. The villagers were very active. They tasted the sweetness of harvesting crabs last autumn, and they were particularly active this year.

Ao Mudong took the initiative to ask: "Dragon Head, when are we going to clean up the lake bottom?"

Ao Muyang glanced at him and said: "Why, are you willing to do this job this year? Last year, I asked you to clean up the lake bottom, but you dragged your feet. This year, your awareness is higher."

Ao Mudong chuckled: "I have also read the Party Constitution recently, so awareness must be improved."

Due to drought, the water level of Longxiang Lake dropped, and large areas of mudflats appeared around the lake. After Ao Muyang saw it, he was moved and wanted to use the mudflats.

Although the mudflats were without lake water, they were very moist, so he thought of watermelons.

Watermelons need to be watered frequently to grow. The mudflats of this lake are rich in groundwater, which is most suitable for growing watermelons. After planting, they do not need much management, which is trouble-free and profitable.

Wangjia Village has already started doing this. Last year, their village planted watermelons by the lake.

Due to its own habits, product attributes and people's consumption habits, watermelons have obvious seasonal characteristics in large-scale production.

First, it needs relatively high temperature conditions for flowering and fruiting, especially for fruit growth and development. When the temperature is below 15°, the growth and development will stagnate.

Therefore, under the conditions of general cultivation facilities, it is difficult to produce watermelons in late winter. Secondly, as a fruit mainly for cooling off, watermelon is mainly consumed in the hot summer. Although there is a certain amount of consumption in other seasons, and it may change with the change of people's consumption mentality, the main production is still in summer.

Longtou Village has not grown watermelons much and lacks experience in this area, so Ao Muyang asked Long Deshui to help. Longwangzhuang has even fewer fields. In order to make money, the villagers have to grow cash crops and try to make more money with less land.

After receiving Ao Muyang's invitation, Long Deshui came to Longtou Village as an expert as soon as possible. His positive attitude surprised Ao Muyang.

He said to Ao Muyang: "Captain Ao, there are some rules for growing watermelons. They are divided into pumpkins and northern melons."

Ao Muyang was stunned: "Pumpkin? No, our village is going to grow watermelons, not pumpkins."

Long Deshui laughed and said: "No, the pumpkin I mentioned is the abbreviation of the melon in the south, the representative one is the Shanghai pumpkin, and the northern melon is the melon in the north, the representative one is the XJ watermelon."

Ao Muyang also laughed: "Oh, that's what you mean, how should it be planted?"

"You asked the point, now the outside world uses machines to plant, but our village has always been planted manually, because as I said before, our northern melon and pumpkin are different, pumpkin has spring, summer and autumn crops, and can even be planted in winter..."

Ao Muyang felt that he had misunderstood his meaning again. He was not asking whether to use machines or manual planting, but asking about technology, and wanted Long Deshui to provide technical support.

Maybe Long Deshui thought it was a face-saving thing to teach him, and he talked a lot of nonsense...

However, Ao Muyang's summary level is not bad, and reading the "Party Constitution" recently has some effect.

According to Long Deshui's words, he summarized that spring watermelons are planted after the late frost, and then transplanted and raised seedlings, and then they can be harvested in spring.

Summer crops are sown from late May to early June, and harvested in mid-to-late August.

Watermelons in Hongyang are mostly autumn crops, sown and raised seedlings in early and mid-July, planted in mid-to-late July, and harvested in mid-to-late September.

This crop of watermelons is on the market during the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival, and has the best market. In addition, it is close to the Chinese New Year at this time. If the watermelons are properly stored, they can be kept until the Chinese New Year, and they can be sold at a high price at that time.

Among them, spring crops are mostly pumpkins, and northern melons cannot survive because the temperature is too low.

It is not suitable to plant watermelons in this season. The temperature in Hongyang is not up to standard, and the watermelon seedlings are easy to die. However, there are also people who choose to plant watermelons at this time, using small sheds for insulation. When the temperature rises in April, the melon sheds can be removed and they can grow naturally.

Ao Muyang said, "That is to say, if you want to grow watermelons now, you have to build a small shed first, right?"

"Yes." Long Deshui clapped his hands, "Although the investment in a small shed is smaller than that of a large shed, it is still a lot of money. One acre of land must invest at least three or four hundred yuan."

Ao Muyang said, "This money is not much."

Long Deshui smiled bitterly and said, "Captain Ao, you are a rich man. How much watermelon can you harvest from one acre of land? Excluding the cost of watering the land, the cost of fertilizers, the cost of seeds and the cost of labor, how much money can you make? This investment is already a lot."

Ao Muyang shook his head and said, "If you grow watermelons now, they will be harvested in May. There will not be many watermelons on the market at that time, right? The price will be quite high."

When he was working in the imperial capital, the watermelons that appeared in the spring market were for the rich, and ordinary workers could not afford them.

Long Deshui nodded: "The watermelons are harvested quickly. After pollination, early-maturing seeds can be harvested in 30 days, mid-maturing seeds in about 35 days, and late-maturing seeds in about 40 days. They will be planted now and will be harvested in May. But first, you have to ensure that they can survive."

Ao Muyang said: "Didn't you say that the shed can ensure the survival of the melon seedlings?"

Long Deshui sighed and said: "But what if there is no shed?"

Ao Muyang asked in confusion: "How can there be no shed?"

Long Deshui said: "Captain Ao, you worked in the imperial capital a few years ago, so you don't know some of the things that happened here. In fact, a few years ago, there was a poverty alleviation group in the county. Seeing that we have a dragon's saliva lake here, they wanted to adapt to local conditions and let us Developing watermelon planting, but can't develop, some villages are too domineering! "

Smart people can understand without much explanation. Ao Muyang raised his chin in the direction of Wangjia Village and said, "They?"

Long Deshui nodded silently, and then said, "Our village built a small shed a few years ago, and it was all torn down overnight. The police were called but there was no result. The watermelon seedlings were almost all frozen to death later."

Ao Muyang smiled and said, "Then I understand. It doesn't matter. It's okay if it's not a natural disaster. I'm not afraid of this kind of man-made disaster."

Hearing him say this, Long Deshui smiled and said, "If your village wants to build a small shed, can you take our village to build it too? In fact, our village has always been very interested in early spring watermelons."
