Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

November 6th, Tuesday, is the beginning of winter tomorrow.

Han Jianhua found Lu Changhua's office and handed him the contract with the stamp on it.

"Xiao Lu, since you have signed a contract, it must be implemented. You must be mentally prepared!"

"Don't worry, director, I will do my best."

"That's good."

"Director, can you pull some grass seeds for me to feed the fish?"

"Grass seeds? Okay."

In previous years, grass seeds were just grass seeds, with very little wheat among them.

This year's grass seeds are different from previous years.

Due to heavy rains, a lot of wheat is immature. When it is raised in the drying field, the wheat with a lighter specific gravity will be mixed with the grass seeds and they will be inseparable.

Therefore, this year's grass seeds contain a large amount of shriveled wheat grains.

This is a good feed for chickens and pigs.

Nowadays, everyone is working alone, and those who should be contracted have begun to be contracted. Grass seeds are also priced, and there is no such thing as giving them for free.

Lu Changhua took Director Han's note and went to the drying area.

This is a place where grain is dried and a warehouse where finished grain is stored.

There is a granary dedicated to storing grass seeds.

I found the director of the drying yard, read the note, and asked Lu Changhua to find a car to pull him.

Opening the warehouse, the round grain store was filled with sacks.

"all these are?"

"Both."

"How much does a bag of grass seeds cost now?"

"One dollar and five."

"So expensive?"

"Is this expensive? This bag weighs seventy or eighty pounds."

Then he lowered his voice and said, "There are many grains of wheat."

"Oh, how much is this?"

"More than three hundred bags."

"Give me two hundred bags."

"Ah? So many? No, no, too many. We have to leave some for the pigs, a hundred bags at most."

The drying room director's face was so twisted that he was twisted.

"It's not enough, at least one hundred and fifty."

"..."

"How's it going?"

"Xiao Lu, look, there is a pile of wheat with fever over there, do you want it?"

"Fever? What does it look like?"

"It smells a little bit. Cover it up. Do you want it?"

"How much?"

"It's not expensive, two hundred yuan. This hoard is all yours. Is that enough this time?!"

The director of the drying area was just being angry. Didn't you say there wasn't enough? Well, there's a stockpile over there, and I want to buy that.

Who knew that Lu Changhua was really unambiguous and asked directly how much it cost.

When I opened the food store, I felt a rush of hot air, with a faint musty smell.

"The fever is not light!"

"If it's too light, can I sell it to you?!"

Lu Changhua didn't get angry with him, climbed into the grain store, took the probe and inserted it hard, pulled it out and looked again, he found that the wheat grains inside were bulging and a little hot to the touch.

If you smell it with your nose, it has a musty smell.

But it's not a big problem.

"I want it. Can I dry it in the sun for a few days?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Lu Changhua gave him two packs of cigarettes.

"What's wrong with that? You can show it off. But you have to do it yourself. We don't have anyone working for you in vain."

The drying director narrowed his eyes and smiled on his face.

"I'll give you money for working. Find a few people to help me dry the sun for a few days for one dollar a day."

"Are you sure?"

"That's right."

"Okay, I'll find someone for you."

"Director, this price..."

"The price cannot be less. It is set by Director Han and I can't change it. How about you go find Director Han?"

How could Lu Changhua go to Director Han for this matter?

"There is a storage base next to it. You can clean it up."

"Hey, thank you, director."

Lu Changhua took out two more packs of cigarettes from his schoolbag.

"Director, you like to smoke, but I don't know how to smoke, so just smoke for me."

"Haha, you kid, you know how to do this!"

The drying director put the cigarette in his pocket, looked around, and walked to the office step by step.

After signing the delivery note in the drying field office, Lu Changhua said he would send the money when the situation improves.

Lu Changhua's salary has increased to 175 yuan in the past few months, but he has no time to spend it. He also has a subsidy of 60 yuan for the rescue team, which is all saved by Lu's mother.

Lao Lu is a third-level worker and earns RMB 42 per month. After the family's expenses, Mother Lu can save RMB 10 per month. Mama Lu herself also has about RMB 28 per month.

The family's savings are more than 400 yuan. Coupled with Lu Changhua's bonus, the Lu family now has more than 1,000 yuan in funds.

1,000 yuan is a lot of money on the farm!

Lu Changhua first took out his own salary, and then asked for some money from his mother.

I collected 350 yuan and bought 100 bags of grass seeds and a grain store of wheat. As for cleaning up the stockpile, I usually do it at night.

The grass seeds are first brought home in a car, while the wheat is left to dry in the drying field for a few days.

After the 100 bags of grass seeds were shipped home, Lu Changhua felt extremely excited when he saw the sacks piled all over the yard.

As long as you have feed on the farm, you don't have to worry about raising livestock and poultry.

That night, he found Hu Dagui, contacted a few close friends, and went to the drying yard to clean up the foundation for grain storage.

You won’t know if you don’t scan it, but you will be shocked if you scan it.

Fifty sacks of yellow-orange wheat were swept away.

Lu Changhua cursed in his heart, these gangsters are really causing trouble to others, and they don’t want such good wheat anymore.

He happily carried the wheat back home.

The next day, Lu Changhua ran to the duty room.

Now that the duty room has been included in the contract, he also has flood control responsibilities.

At least he has the responsibility for flood control in the reservoir.

The flood control materials in the warehouse have also been used up, and the water pump has been pulled back to the material warehouse. Now the warehouse is empty.

That's it, even if Lu Changhua calculated it, he couldn't contain those Wumai.

If it doesn't work, I can only use another office and kitchen, otherwise there is really no place to put it.

This was the first time Lu Changhua experienced the trouble of having things but no place to put them.

The weather is getting colder day by day, and a thin layer of ice forms on the reservoir in the morning and evening.

A few days ago, at noon, he took a boat and swam on the water for several laps, as if inspecting his own territory.

I need to speed up my reading.

Now his reading progress has reached 85/100, and he will soon reach the full level.

The inner expectation is even stronger.

In order to speed up his reading progress, Lu Changhua decided to move to the duty room so that no one would disturb him. Otherwise, if something happened and people came, how would he have time to study?!

I told my parents and took the quilt to the reservoir.

Naturally, Xiong Bao never left, and followed him to the reservoir, not even caring about his family's livelihood.

For several days, Mother Lu delivered meals to the duty room.

As soon as I entered the duty room, my face was flushed by the heat.

"Son, where did you get the firewood?"

"What I burned was a matchmaker. I got it from my dad's cafeteria."

"This is not a long-term solution. I think we should go to the mountains to get some firewood."

"Okay, let's go back when it's freezing in a while. I can't get in the car now."

More than ten miles away from the three-point field is the Erlongshan Forest Farm.

There are a lot of miscellaneous trees and firewood on the mountain.

Every winter, employees at the branch site secretly go up the mountain to get some firewood back for the winter.

In previous years, the Lu family would also buy two cars.

The price of a trailer is 80 yuan, which is not low, but it is still cheaper than burning coal.

Mother Lu saw that her son knew what was going on, so she stopped talking about it. She wanted to invite Xiong Bao to go home, but the lazy dog ​​was lying at Lu Changhua's feet, with its four paws stretched out and snoring lazily. It would not leave.

Where is the little master?

Seeing that the lazy dog ​​didn't move, Mother Lu didn't bother to call it anymore and went back by herself.

There have been sunny days and northwest winds these days.

Lu Changhua goes to the drying field every day to look at his fever wheat.

On a cement board drying field of several hundred square meters, golden wheat grains lie on it, enjoying the sunshine.

The cold wind blew through, bringing up a pungent musty smell.

"Come on, smoke, thank you for your hard work."

He knew all six strong men. They were laborers in the drying yard, specializing in hard work.

Now that they have nothing to do, they help Lu Changhua dry the wheat and earn some wages.

Seeing Xiao Lu being so polite, six people gathered around him, took the cigarettes he had scattered, lit them and started puffing away.

"Xiao Lu, this wheat is all covered, why did you buy it?"

"What you're saying is, why can't people buy chickens and feed them to pigs?!"

Seeing someone asking such a stupid question, the man next to him choked.

"Yes, the wheat cover is a bit tight, but as long as it is dried and aired, it can still be used."

"I heard that in the past, people couldn't eat this kind of wheat."

"No."

A group of people were all talking.

"Thank you for your hard work, please help me with some snacks."

"It's okay, don't worry."

We are all old people from the same field, and have known each other for decades, so there is still some trust.

It became Lu Changhua's routine to come here once a day. He stayed in the drying field for a few hours and then returned to the reservoir.

After all, the focus of his job is reading.

Seeing the reading progress rising every day, the closer he gets to the full level, the more he looks forward to it.

He has long been salivating over the rewards.

That evening, Lu Changhua looked at the reading progress of 99/100 and was in a daze.

I prayed ninety-nine times, and now I am only trembling.

I wanted to burn the midnight oil and fight until I reached the maximum level.

But my stomach growled.

Xiong Bao couldn't sleep anymore, so he came to him, jumped directly on him, and scratched him with his claws.

It's time to eat.

With a creak, the door to the duty room was pushed open and a person walked in.

"Brother?! Why are you here?"

"Haha, I'm done with my work over there. I'm on vacation for two days. I'll come back and take a look."

Lu Changzhong put down the rice bowl in his hand and said.

Xiong Bao turned around and pounced on Lu Changzhong, shaking his head and tail in an extremely affectionate manner.

When Lu Changhua saw this, he curled his lips and said, "Hey, you are such a snobbery."

Xiong Bao seemed to understand what people were saying. He quickly got up and ran back to Lu Changhua, rubbing and shaking him, and flattered him.

"Let's eat."

Lu Changzhong asked his brother to eat.

Lu Changhua was not polite, grabbed the steamed bun and started eating it.

"Brother, have you eaten?"

"I ate at home."

Seeing his brother eating deliciously, Lu Changzhong looked around the duty room.

"Brother, I didn't expect that you built this house with all your efforts!"

Lu Changzhong watched and praised.

"I heard from dad that you contracted the reservoir. Come back and have a look. Do you need my help?"

"Not yet."

Lu Changhua gave a vague answer.

While eating, he asked: "Brother, I'm afraid it's not easy to work at your radio station?!"

"Oh? Haha, it's okay, it's fine."

Lu Changzhong looked around and talked about him, his eyes a little dodgey.

Lu Changhua knew that his eldest brother must have encountered some difficulties, otherwise he would not be like this.

"Okay, you eat first, I'll go back."

"Ah? Stay a little longer?!"

"No, I still have something to discuss with my father."

As he spoke, Lu Changzhong opened the door and walked out.

Looking at his elder brother walking away, Lu Changhua wanted to have a good chat with him tomorrow.

It looks like I have to clear it tonight.

Today is the 15th, and a big full moon hangs in the night sky, dotted with stars.

The reservoir under the moon glowed with a faint white light.

When Lu Changhua finished reading the last page, he closed the green book.

“Ding dong, you have 100/100 knowledge on freshwater fish farming!”

The green text was shimmering with fairy light, and a line of huge text popped out before his eyes.

"Distribute rewards!"

"Ding dong, reward 1,000 carp fry!"

"Ding dong, reward 10 bottles of carp growth promoter!"

Lu Changhua's fatigue was swept away, and he checked the reward content with great excitement.

Suddenly there was another "ding dong!"

Lu Changhua was startled. When he looked carefully, a line of text appeared that surprised him.

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief. At this time, a retelling voice sounded in his ears. He confirmed again that he had indeed read it correctly!
