Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

The wheat has been harvested!

The tractors were all mounted with harvesters, harvesting the wheat on the higher slopes first.

As the tractor passed by, the wheat fell down in rows and was transferred to one side by the harvester, where it was spread flat on the wheat stubble.

The wheat has to be laid on the stubble to dry for a few days. If the weather is fine, it will take three or four days. If there is rain, it will take a week.

Some mature wheat requires a combine harvester to harvest.

The combine harvester is a self-propelled harvester. It can not only cut the wheat, but also directly thresh it. After the warehouse is full, it will be transferred to the drying yard by other vehicles for processing.

As for wheat in low-lying areas, it depends on the specific situation.

If the field conditions are good and a tractor can be used, a harvester can be used to harvest. If this is not possible, the field can only be harvested manually.

All aspects of the entire branch are in action, and a busy and joyful atmosphere has always enveloped the place.

Tractors roared in various fields. Rows of wheat waves fell down, waiting for the final ripening.

A wheeled tractor pulls a trailer and follows the combine harvester to receive wheat.

Waves of wheat are gushing out of the conveyor pipe, and a cart will be filled in ten minutes.

These wheeled tractors roared on the plowing road, traveling back and forth between the fields and drying fields.

In the drying yard, carts of wheat are unloaded and the freshly baked wheat is dried on cement slabs.

After drying, the moisture of the wheat reaches the requirements of finished grain, and then it is winnowed. After impurities are removed, some of the wheat is put into the warehouse in bulk, and some is directly bagged and transported to the county grain depot.

At this time, there is only one word, busy!

Lu Changhua is also busy.

Although the soybeans and corn in his feed plot cannot be harvested yet, his fish can be harvested.

A few days ago, he was checking in the reservoir and found a large group of carp weighing about two kilograms.

This is already a big fish in the Northeast.

According to the normal growth cycle, it has to survive one winter before it can be put on the market next autumn. As a result, it is already this big, so what are you waiting for?

The fish have grown up, but fishing requires professional tools and professionals, which Lu Changhua does not have.

When he thought about it, he still had to find someone.

Who to call? The fishmonger.

Are there any fishmongers these days?

have!

Generally speaking, there are all kinds of middlemen in the county, such as pig dealers, fish dealers, grain dealers, anyway, there are people who are involved in everything related to food.

These days, all kinds of businessmen take advantage of information asymmetry.

For example, if a fish stall owner is selling fish in the market, his thoughts are all on selling fish. If you ask him to buy fish by himself, he will be too busy.

As for a fish farmer, his mind is on raising fish. If you ask him to sell fish, he doesn't have the energy and may not have the ability.

Both supply and demand sides need a channel, which is the basis for the survival of fishmongers.

Lu Changhua ran to the fork in the road early in the morning.

He was going to Beining County to find a fishmonger.

In fact, he also went there blindly.

These days, many people are afraid of finding people to do things outside. This means they are closed off and have difficulty communicating with others.

Those who break the barriers will have the opportunity to be the first to become rich.

Lu Changhua naturally has no communication barriers and no psychological burden.

As soon as he got off the bus, he ran to the market.

You know, fishmongers are concentrated in the vegetable market these days.

In the morning of September, as long as it doesn't rain, the sun is very poisonous.

Lu Changhua came to Badao Street Vegetable Market under the bright sun.

Most of the residents here are from the farm system.

The vegetable market is just a tin shed.

He went directly to the fish stall.

The fish boss held a fish-killing knife in his hand and asked, "What kind of fish should I buy?" while polishing it.

"Brother, how much does a pound of carp cost?"

"One dollar and five."

"Ah? So expensive?"

"Why don't prices increase now?"

The fish boss told about the current prices.

"Maybe it will rise again in a few days."

"Brother, I want to ask you something."

"What's up?"

"I have fish, can you collect it from here?"

"What? You raised it yourself?"

"right."

The fish boss looked at Lu Changhua, pointed behind him, and said, "Did you see it? Go look for it over there and they will collect it."

"Oh, thank you, brother."

Lu Changhua followed Boss Yu's direction and walked over.

This is a small facade.

There were fishing gear inside, and a skinny man was sitting at the door, holding a cigarette and basking in the sun.

"Uncle."

Lu Changhua walked closer, took out cigarettes, took out one, and handed it over.

"Hey, what's the matter?"

People who do business are familiar with themselves.

The man took the cigarette and put it directly behind his ear.

"Are you still collecting fish?"

"What fish? Where is it?"

The man asked cheerfully.

"Big carp, at Changshui Farm."

"Hey, it's not close. It must be fifty or sixty kilometers away."

"have."

"How do you want to sell it?"

The man looked at Lu Changhua with narrowed eyes.

"How do you charge it?"

"Haha, the young man is quite clever. I will collect them in several categories."

Lu Changhua listened to the man.

"The first way is that you deliver it directly, one piece per pound."

Seeing the astonishment on Lu Changhua's face, the man crossed his legs, pressed the butt of the cigarette on the sole of his shoe twice, and then said: "The price is not low, you have to deliver it."

"What about the second one?"

"The second option is that we come to your door to collect the fish, and we also catch the fish. You don't have to do anything."

"How much?"

The man said slowly: "Six cents."

"Ah? This gap is too big. The market retail price is one yuan and a half, and you only give sixty cents?!"

Seeing Lu Changhua, he jumped up and down.

The man said: "Don't worry, listen to me."

"We have to go at least four people, with nets and cars. The round trip is more than 100 kilometers, more than 200 miles, and the gas and labor costs are quite a lot. What do you think?"

Lu Changhua knew that what they said was true. This was just a fishmonger trying to lower the price, and you hadn't done anything yet.

If you don’t have tools or a car, you are at the mercy of others.

"But your offer is too low."

Lu Changhua was very unwilling.

Since prices are rising now, how can I get some of the dividends from the price increase?

"Little brother, there are already quite a few."

The man glanced at Lu Changhua, and then the old man said calmly: "How about you go to another house and ask?"

Lu Changhua grinned, "Uncle, I'll come back in the afternoon."

He turned and left.

Lu Changhua thought to himself that even if it was six cents, he still had to make himself feel comfortable.

He visited three vegetable markets in a row, and there were fishmongers all offering various prices.

Overall, it's between 50 cents and 60 cents.

He called Wang Yao at noon, but no one answered. He might have finished get off work.

He thought about asking Wang Yao to have a meal at noon and then discuss the matter of harvesting the fish in the afternoon.

Since I can't find her, I'll just take some food myself.

When he came to a snack bar on the street, he opened the door curtain and walked in.

The door curtain of the snack bar is made up of several long soft plastic strips, which are relatively thick and their main function is to block mosquitoes and flies.

The store is not big and there are already people inside.

Only one table is empty.

Lu Changhua sat down and ordered steamed buns and a plate of stir-fries.

While I was waiting, the curtain opened and two girls came in.

"Oops, it's full. Let's go and find another restaurant."

Lu Changhua was facing the store door. When he looked up, he saw that one of them was Wang Yao.

Wang Yao was wearing a white shirt, a dark blue vest, a pair of dark blue trousers, and half-heeled leather shoes.

Although her appearance has changed, she is still the same beautiful woman with a round face and big eyes.

"Hey, Wang Yao!"

Lu Changhua stood up.

"Lu Changhua? What a coincidence?"

"Isn't that right? It's just a coincidence that the book is written!"

Lu Changhua was frustrated just now because he didn't make an appointment with Wang Yao, so this happened to him.

"Come, sit down together."

Lu Changhua greeted them.

"Do you know each other?"

another girl asked.

"This is my younger brother."

Wang Yao introduced.

"Haha, brother."

The girl teased in a sinister way.

"What a brother."

The two sat across from Lu Changhua.

"Why are you here, here to do something?"

Wang Yao asked curiously.

The two of them haven't seen each other since the last time they bought fish fry.

It's been more than half a year now.

"I'll sell the fish."

"Ah? Selling fish? Can you sell it so quickly?"

Wang Yao asked in surprise. When she thought about it, it would have to be after the New Year.

"I feed them well and the fish grow fast."

"Is the deal settled?"

"We negotiated with several, but the price is too low. Let's order some food."

Lu Changhua greeted them to order.

When the two girls saw that Lu Changhua ordered steamed buns and stir-fried stir-fry, they also ordered steamed buns and two more side dishes.

The three of them chatted while eating, and Lu Changhua's mood improved.

"Six cents is a bit low. How about I help you ask this afternoon."

Wang Yao said after learning about the price of fish.

"Yes, let's help him ask."

The girl was not tall and average-looking, but she was very articulate and spoke very fast, beeping like a machine gun.

Wang Yao introduced her as Wu Xia, a colleague from her workplace and a good sister.

After almost eating, Lu Changhua said that he called her work, but no one answered.

"It's lunch break now, no one is here!"

Wu Xia talks a lot and rushes to say everything.

Wang Yao smiled and said: "There is no one at this time. Besides, I no longer work there."

Wang Yao left her phone number again.

After dinner, it was still early, so Lu Changhua invited Wang Yao to sit somewhere.

Wu Xia jumped up immediately.

"Okay, okay, it's still early to go back anyway. Let's go shopping in the clothing market. I saw a piece of clothing two days ago. It's really beautiful..."

As he spoke, he took Wang Yao to the clothing market.

Lu Changhua had no choice but to follow.

He originally wanted to chat with Wang Yao alone, but ended up going shopping with two women, and he became a bodyguard.

After wandering around until 1:30 in the afternoon, Wu Xia took Wang Yao and left.

If you don't walk to work, you'll be late.

Wang Yao made an appointment with Lu Changhua to call her before three o'clock in the afternoon.

Along the way, Lu Changhua learned that Wang Yao had gone to the tertiary industry company run by the municipal bureau as the chief clerk of the business section.

They are still on staff.
