Chapter 1 The farm is not easy to do

"I don't know what I think about Li Zhuang. I won't do it. I'll go to the mountains to raise fish."

White walls and black tiles, horse head walls, typical southern Anhui style old houses are chatting, and the weather is very hot.

"It's not that good. The teacher is so good. There is also pension money. What's the future of raising fish? Not to mention what fish can our reservoir raise? The water will be bigger that day, so why would it rush?"

"By the way, I also heard that this kid sold all the houses in the city to raise fish."

"All houses have been sold. What's wrong with this kid? I'm not going to go back to the city?"

This is incredible. All the houses in the city have been sold. This is not a joke. If there is no house, will the city not go back?

"That's right? I heard from my daughter. This kid is not old. Why? I can't think so. What's there in the village now?"

As he spoke, an old woman walked over, carrying a basket to go to the stream in front to wash vegetables, but she stopped.

"Her aunt is washing vegetables."

"Yes, there is no water in the canal at the entrance. Go to the stream to see it, what are you talking about?"

"Say that the Li family sold the house. What do you think of this kid? Who can come to our mountain valley?"

"You don't know. I heard that the Li family's wife was looking for someone and had a divorce. I'm sorry to stay in the city."

"What did you say?"

"There is still this matter, no wonder this kid came to the mountains."

"But there is no need to sell a house. How many people can we go to the fish-raising restaurant?"

"That's not the case. I've been fishing these days, and I can tell you with a slap." The old woman shook her head slightly. This Li family kid has a bad head. No wonder the woman ran away with others.

The three of them were talking when they saw a middle-aged man who was 1,35 or 36 years old, 1.8 meters tall but with a little bookish atmosphere. "Aunt, are you washing vegetables?"

"Wash vegetables, you're going to the reservoir."

"You said, God, it hasn't rained for more than a month, so I have to run a lap to wash vegetables." Hanjia Village is not big, but it has been a while. I have built a small canal around the village before. The bluestone slabs are repaired in the past, and I can wash vegetables in the small canal.

Now, it has not rained for more than a month, and the water in the big stream is almost gone. Not to mention that these small canals around the village have been dry, so if you don’t wash vegetables, you have to go to the stream, and you have to go around half a big village far away.

"Yes, the reservoir is exposed, I won't go and see it."

"I don't know when it will rain. I'll go and check out the sluice gates that can be closed."

Li Dong smiled. The reservoir was contracted by Li Dong. In addition, the two mountains around the reservoir and more than ten acres of wasteland at the foot of the mountain are almost one or two hundred acres, with a contract cost of more than 100,000 yuan a year. It is said that it is high or low.

The place is not big, and Li Dong learned to do fishing farms by others. He built a small yard next to the reservoir. It was not big. There were three large rooms and two small rooms to build a yard, which cost about 200,000 yuan. If it had been more in the past few years, there would be no cement roads.

Although the mountain village is now open, the material cost is much cheaper than the previous transportation of horses and mules.

The yard was well built, and Li Dong bought more than 100,000 fish fry and put it in the reservoir. It has been half a year since now, but the farm business is not lukewarm. On weekends, there are guests in groups of three or three to fish in the reservoir, and few people who stay for dinner can make a little money.

This is also one of the reasons why the villagers talk about Li Dong. Not making money is not a smart mind.

If you want to say that Hanjia Village is not far from the city, it is more than ten kilometers, and a five or six kilometers of mountain road is less than twenty kilometers, most of the people in the village have gone to the city.

In the whole village, there are really few young people, except for a few who don’t do serious business, most of them are looking for work in the city and staying in the city.

Li Dong is also a city native. He was a teacher before. He went to Hanjia Village to build this farm that is not profitable. There are so many elderly people in the village talking a lot, and they all said anything.

Li Dong heard it from a distance, but he ignored these gossips and said hello and left the village. He walked along a bluestone road for five or six minutes to his own farm.

If the farm has been in business for half a year, Li Dong has almost spent 600,000 or 700,000 yuan to sell his house.

It cost more than 200,000 yuan to build a farm, contract the reservoir, add fish fry, and an old house bought in the village, more than 30,000 yuan. There are also a few wasteland renovations and people are busy building greenhouses, which cost more than 500,000 yuan.

Seeing that the fruit trees on the two hills need to be managed by someone, I would ask at least one or two people to work hard for two months. After all, Li Dong only had more than 100,000 yuan in his hands.

I thought it would take a few dollars to start a farm, but I never thought that it would cost so much. If there was one more money, it would be fine if the farm business did not improve much. It would be difficult to make a profit if the contract fee was not improved. Li Dong smiled bitterly, and he shouldn't have had this idea at that time.

If you want to talk about why Li Dong set up a farm, it has something to do with his previous love of fishing. When he was a teacher, he was often asked by his family or colleagues to go fishing and picking together on weekends. It was quite pleasant to have a farm meal at the farm at noon.

I'm a little disheartened when I'm having a divorce this year. Li Dong simply quit his teacher's job and sold the divorced house and ran to the mountain village to build a farm. But who knew that it was so difficult to open a farm, if it weren't for some old friends to take care of it.

With some previous relationships, it was okay. Sometimes, I would give students tutoring on weekends. Li Dong felt that he would go bankrupt in a year after relying on the farm. He thought about a solution along the way, what should I do to do the farm? I asked the two of them to get them up in the vegetable shed to see if I could make some vegetables to sell.

"Woof, woof, woof."

"Big blackhead, it's me."

Big Blackhead, a native dog raised by Li Dong, was bought on the street when he came to Hanjia Village. It costs 30 yuan. Because of his big head and dark hair, Li Dong gave the name Big Blackhead. If you want to say that this dog is really spiritual, the guard guards made Li Dong much easier.

The big blackhead was staring at the reservoir, but she was not afraid of someone coming to fish secretly. Li Dong patted the big blackhead. "Okay, let's go to the reservoir."

It has not rained for more than a month, and it is still in the summer. The water level of the reservoir has dropped quite quickly, revealing several small stone islands in the center. In fact, to be precise, it is not an island, it is just a few large stones, the largest being only about ten square meters square.

Li Dong rowed his custom-made fishing boat and came to the Stone Island in the center of the reservoir and tied it up and got off the boat.

"There is still a puddle!"

A few large stones surrounded a puddle of five or six square meters, and there were some small fish and shrimps inside. Li Dong returned to the boat and picked up the net bags on the fishing boat, preparing to scoop some fish and shrimps back, and make a small fish pot at noon.

It was comfortable to have two more bottles of beer. Li Dong thought that there were no customers coming today, so he went back to clean up and cooked lunch, and then fryed some fish when he went to see his daughter on the weekend.

"Ouch."

“There is still a big one.”

Li Dong was happy that the reservoir had not been contracted now. Most of the more than 100,000 fishes Li Dong kept were crucian carp, and some fat heads and grass were mixed. They could not grow into big things in half a year. These were wild fish in the reservoir before.

Good thing, many guests who come here often say hello to Li Dong, saying that there must be kept for wild fish. This thing is getting fewer and fewer now, and everyone loves this.

"Good guy, that's really awesome."

A big fat head looked like it was seven or eight pounds, and the net bag was not easy to catch. Li Dong simply went into the water, and the puddle was not deep.

"Woof, woof, woof."

Big Blackhead screamed at the puddle a few times, and Li Dong smiled. "It's okay, this little water can't flood me." He rolled up his trouser legs and held the stone beside him and carefully went down to the puddle. Big Fat Head actually bumped into him when he saw the movement.

Li Dong said oh, he didn't stand firm at all, and he would be hit and fall into the puddle. "Ah."

His hands subconsciously wanted to hold on to something, but they didn't know where they pressed it. When it hurt, Li Dong's face changed. He quickly stood up and raised his hand and saw that the blood was pierced with a big hole in his palm. Before he could react, Li Dong's eyes turned black.
