Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

The next day, Lu Changzhong got up early and braved the severe cold to leave.

Of course Lu Zaigao and Lu's mother respect his choice.

Lu Changhua was originally going to stay at home for a few more days, but in such a cold weather, he really didn't want to go to the ice rink to keep watch.

But he doesn't want to make money, but the children have long been unable to bear the loneliness.

Just after the third day of junior high school, Principal Liu came to our door on the fourth day of the first lunar month.

It's not that he insists on dragging Lu Changhua to pour the ice together, but the students don't have skates for skating. Who can they ask for if they don't rent his skates?

Lao Lu went to the cafeteria to clean up. He still had to cook when the boss went to work. Lu's mother was at home alone. She went to see Mrs. Lao Hu these days, and the two sisters chatted for most of the day.

Lu Changhua followed Principal Liu to the ice rink.

The ice lanes of the ice rink have been cleaned. These were done by the children on their own initiative. Without cleaning, they will not be able to play.

The children put on their skates and had a great time playing on the ice track.

Lu Changhua returned to the duty room and lit the stove first to warm up the house that had been on fire for several days.

Principal Liu monitored the ice tunnel for a while, but his nose was so cold that he could only run back to the duty room to catch himself.

"Xiao Lu, since you contracted the reservoir, the children have benefited a lot."

Principal Liu praised while warming his hands and feet.

"No, principal, it's true that I lent the venue to you, but I also made some money through you."

"That can be regarded as a small subsidy. You are pulling wires and lighting, so there is no cost. You should rely on rent subsidies."

Lu Changhua asked the principal to light the fire first. He went out again, chopped five or six wooden stumbling blocks with an ax, and carried him in.

Although it is cold today, the weather is sunny, there is no snow, and the north wind is much lighter.

He added more firewood to the stove, then poured a few ladles of cold water into the iron kettle and sat on the stove.

The fire licked the bottom of the kettle, and flames jumped up from both sides of the iron kettle, licking the walls black.

Ten minutes later, the iron kettle made a gurgling sound of boiling water. After a while, the iron kettle made a whistling sound. After another gurgling sound, the steam made a tinkling sound against the lid.

Lu Changhua picked up the kettle, poured some boiling water into the glass, picked up the glass, rinsed it, and then poured more than half of the glass of boiling water.

This is experience.

In this winter, if you pour boiling water directly into a cup, the most likely possibility is that the cup will burst or fall to the bottom!

The two of them each held a glass of boiling water and covered their hands.

The heat in the cup rose up like two puffs of cigarette smoke.

In this quiet winter, looking at the warm sun outside the window and admiring the children playing on the ice rink, this scene seemed familiar to Lu Changhua.

Principal Liu might also be in a trance, as neither of them spoke.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open.

Several chattering girls barged in.

"Wow, it's so warm!"

"Really, what I said is right, it's guaranteed to be warm here."

Han Ying walked in wearing a red scarf.

Two girls followed behind.

Lu Changhua was stunned when he saw her.

"If you're not helping clean things up in the cafeteria, why are you here?!"

"After cleaning up, we will come to the ice rink to play if we have nothing to do."

Han Ying took off her scarf, shook it, folded it into a square, and placed it on the fire pit.

The other two girls also chattered about their reasons.

"Where are the skates? We want to play."

"Hey, they're all rented out and people are playing around."

"Oops, I'm late, so I told you to come earlier."

One girl complained.

"Let's play for a while later. Let's warm up by the fire first."

Han Ying sat down next to Lu Changhua and stretched out her hand to light the fire.

"You two sit here."

Lu Changhua stood up and gave up his seat to the two girls. He took the ax and went out.

After wandering outside for a while, he came in holding two wooden tripods.

Lu Changhua clearly felt the resentment in Han Ying's eyes. But he just didn't dare to look into her eyes, he didn't dare to meet that pure and affectionate look.

Today not only people from our branch came to play ice, but people from several nearby companies also came one after another.

By three o'clock in the afternoon, more than a hundred people had gathered at the ice rink.

Lu Changhua’s ten pairs of skates are not ranked at all.

Some people came from far away and had to play, so they had to sublet it from others at a higher price, which made Luoyang paper expensive for a while.

With Lu Changhua's intervention, Han Ying and others finally got into the game.

He also had to become a free coach to these girls.

Lu Changhua took care of the business at the ice rink, and Hu Dagui helped with the feed crushing business at the Lu family. Sometimes Lu's mother took over for him at the ice rink, and he went back to do the feed crushing business with Hu Dagui.

A week passed like this in a flash.

Students have started school and the ice rink has become quite deserted.

But more and more adults came to play.

The first thing the students do after school is not to go home and do their homework. Instead, they run to the ice rink first to catch the evening game.

Many parents of the children came to see her, and the scene was full of sounds of spanking.

After that, if any students come to play alone, Lu Changhua will not rent it.

But even so, the children still stayed at the ice rink and had a great time even skating directly.

After Women's Day, the ice rink was officially closed.

As soon as noon arrives, the snow will begin to melt, and the ice will gradually dissolve, making it dangerous to open the ice rink again.

Lu Changhua put away all the colored lights and wires, and cleared out all the debris on the ice rink.

A wooden sign was erected on the edge of the reservoir with the words "No skating allowed" written on it.

The ice rink was closed, and Lu Changhua joined Hu Dagui's feed crushing project.

Spring is about to begin, and every household that breeds must prepare feed.

The Lu family's crusher has become the hope of the entire team.

Some of those who moved quickly years ago have already crushed the feed, and most of them didn't get there in time, so we need to hurry up now.

If we wait any longer, we will have to start plowing in the spring.

Lu Changhua makes money only on one side, and the other side is favors.

How can you not crush others when they ask you for help?

In this way, they worked until the beginning of April.

In the past month, the income from crushing has exceeded 600 yuan.

Of course, this is not profit, and the electricity bill is not included.

However, at least half of the profit is there.

It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival, and pedestrians on the road feel like they are dying.

This is talking about the south.

In the Northeast, during the Qingming Festival, the fields are still covered with snow.

Although the snow on the road will melt into water at noon and the road will be muddy, it will still be freezing in the morning and evening.

Some of the snow in the reservoir has also melted, especially the snow and ice near the shore, which are getting thinner.

At noon, the rushing snow water will flow into the gully, and then flow into the reservoir where there is still ice.

During the first lunar month, Lu Changhua used an ice penetration to open an ice cave and tested the water depth with a wooden pole.

At that time, the thickness of the ice layer was one meter and a half, and there was nearly two meters of water below. He also fished out several silver carp from this hole in the ice. Of course, these fish were all wild.

This gave him reassurance that fish in such deep water can survive the winter.

In his reward column, the golden carp and the small green bottle were each shining with light.

Since he got the reward last year, he hasn't had a chance to use it.

Although he had a thousand carp fry, how could he dare to put them into the water in the middle of winter? That would not be courting death!

Now that it has entered April, the matter of fish fry has been put on the agenda. He cannot wait until June to find fish fry, because the day lilies are already cold.

To find fish fry, you have to go to a fishery company.

He really didn't know if there was such a unit in Beining County.

He kept beating in his heart. According to his speculation, even if there is a fishing company, it is estimated that there will be no fry now.

It's still freezing cold now, so where do we get the fish fry? This is not the area south of the Yellow River.

Nowadays, Lu Changhua has rushed to the shelves and is forced to go to the wall. Whether there is one or not, he has to find it.

The important thing is that his skills and attributes remind him all the time, fish, fish, fish! And it’s carp, carp, carp!

Although carp does not have a name among the four major fish species, this does not affect the sacred status of carp in the hearts of northern people at all.

Hu Dagui finally agreed to raise fish with him after Lu Changhua's repeated persuasion.

The Hu family was worried that Lu Changhua would fail in raising fish, so they only agreed to let Dagui help him raise fish and settle the matter on an annual salary basis.

Of course they don't understand what annual salary is, this is what Lu Changhua said.

Give Hu Dagui an annual salary of 800 yuan a year, regardless of whether it is profitable or not.

Hu Dagui worked for Lu Changhua.

The Hu family is very satisfied with the price.

Even Uncle Hu, a fourth-level worker, earns less than 800 a year, while Hu Dagui only earns 800. How can he be dissatisfied?!

Lao Lu and Mother Lu both grinned at the salary and asked many times what they would do if they couldn't get it back.

Lu Changhua patted his chest and assured that it would be no problem.

In April, the tractors were started, the disc harrows were mounted, and the land preparation work began according to the company's deployment.

The roar of tractors was heard throughout the branch.

Lu Changhua planned to go to the city to look for fish fry and learn about the market.

He originally wanted to take Hu Dagui with him so that he could be taken care of by then.

But when he thought about the round trip expenses, food and accommodation, he still endured it.

In the early stages of starting a business, it’s better to work alone if you work harder.

That night, he told his parents about going to the city, and of course Lao Lu and Mother Lu couldn't stop him.

"You have to be careful, don't meddle in other people's business, and remember what happened last time."

Mother Lu was very worried about him. After all, he was going out with money this time, and he was alone.

"Mom and Dad, don't worry, it's not my first time."

That night, Mother Lu found out the clothes and trousers that her son would wear tomorrow, and sewed and mended the ones that needed to be sewn.

Lao Lu also took time to fill an enamel jar with half a jar of boiling water, and helped his son iron his clothes and trousers several times before he felt relieved.

At this time, Lu Changhua was already lying on the fire bed and fast asleep.
