Power Farmer

Chapter 106

September is also the time to plant autumn vegetables, and the fields are full of busy people.

Wei Jingze put in a lot of effort for the 20 mu of land. Fortunately, there is a machine, so the laborious work of digging the ground can be easily completed.

After more than 20 mu of land has been developed, a large amount of fertilizer has to be fertilized. Wei Jingze has emptied the fat pit on the side of the pigsty. Even dozens of pigs can't keep up with Wei Jingze's speed of spreading fertilizer!However, there is no way to eat fertilizer in this land, and this is a reclaimed land. If you don't fertilize much, the crops will not grow well.

After raising dozens of pigs, he still felt that the fertilizer was a little tight, so Wei Jingze felt a little helpless, and he had to get more fertilizer.

In fact, there are also many sources of fertilizer. Sixty or seventy pigs produce hundreds of catties of poop every day, and cleaning the chicken coop every day can also produce a lot of chicken manure.Even Daqing Niu seems to know that the family is short of fat, and when he comes down from the mountain to carry grass and wood, he defecates in the pigsty and continues to work.

At first Yang Tianjian thought that this guy was making trouble, but later he realized that he was doing this to save fertilizer, and it was absolutely impossible for the cow to do this.

Da Qingniu said, I am an obedient baby cow.

On the side of the chicken pen, because Wei Jingze started to collect more chickens again, and the size limit of the chickens was also relaxed, the number of chickens in the chicken pen was increasing rapidly.Even if Wei Jingze didn't have time to go out to collect chickens, someone would come to him and sell the chickens to Wei Jingze. When Wei Jingze was working in the field, he had to bring a scale, because someone might come to him at any time To sell chickens.

The number of chickens increased, and Wei Jingze's pressure also increased. Feeding is still a trivial matter. It takes an hour or two to clean the chicken pens, count the number of chickens, pick eggs, and observe the status of the chickens. If any chicken is sick, it must be isolated as soon as possible, so as not to be contagious and cause other chickens to be infected.

Fortunately, Wei Jingze has a supernatural ability, which can ensure that the chicken's resistance is stronger than that of ordinary chickens, and it is not so easy to get sick.

Of course, during this process, some chickens still had accidents. For example, some chickens accidentally fell to their death, some chickens accidentally hit a tree and died when they were running, and sometimes they died in a fight. All sorts of strange things.

If these dead chickens are only seriously injured and cannot be cured, they can be handed over to Master Yingqi and asked him to feed his family. If they die, Master Yingqi will not do it, so they can be handed over to the engineering team The cook is giving extra meals to the engineering team.

There were not many cases of chickens dying due to accidents, so Wei Jingze's loss was not very serious.

The old man went to the construction site to do work a few times, but because of family affairs, he didn't have much time to go, because he had to transplant sweet potatoes in the late stage and prepare pig food for the winter pigs.

Wei Jingze planted most of the autumn vegetables in the newly opened fields, just to give some space to the sweet potatoes. In addition, Wei Jingze also vacated some land to plant sweet potatoes. In the winter when there is no grass, sweet potatoes, Sweet potato vines are important rations for pigs.Of course, the newly harvested corn is also part of it.

After a busy day, when he returned home, Wei Jingze shared his thoughts with the old man.

"I want to ask two people to help look after the chicken coop. I'm busy now, I don't have much time, and there are more and more chickens in the chicken coop, so I can't be too busy."

As he said, Wei Jingze picked up the August melon in the basket and took a bite. It was really sweet. No wonder the children in the village would pick and eat it even if they were climbing trees!It is indeed delicious.

The old man said: "If you want to invite someone, please invite someone. I think you are too busy."

"Do you know anyone who is more suitable? It would be better if he has raised chickens before, so I don't have to worry about so many things." Wei Jingze felt that he was as busy as a spinning top all day long, and he didn't get close enough to Jiang Yanzong , Oh, isn't working hard just for the tender moments when you are free.

The old man said: "Then I have to think about it. I can't think of any suitable person for a while."

Wei Jingze could only hope that his grandfather would think of a suitable candidate sooner, so that he could get away earlier.

Regarding the remuneration, you need to discuss it with Jiang Yanzong. Jiang Yanzong will not deliberately set low prices for employees, but he will not be like Wei Jingze himself, who may give people more than reasonable remuneration just because of a moment of soft-heartedness.

Jiang Yanzong's idea is very simple: "Just follow Lao Yang's treatment. First the probationary period. After the probationary period, you will be a regular worker, and the salary can be improved."

Wei Jingze thought it was fine, so there would be no obvious contrast, making people feel that he was not treated well, or making Yang Tianjian feel unbalanced.

Wei Jingze was busy with his own affairs when Pan Zhuangniu came to look for him.

While Wei Jingze was busy working in the field, Pan Zhuangniu came to the field.

"Ozawa!"

As soon as Wei Jingze raised his head, he saw Pan Zhuangniu walking over, not just passing by, but probably looking for him specially.

Wei Jingze put down what he was doing, walked to the edge of the ground, and said, "Uncle Niu, what do you want from me?"

Pan Zhuangniu said: "It's about my rice field eel and loach. It can be shipped soon. Let me discuss this matter with you."

The seedlings released by Pan Zhuangniu at the end of March, the loach and eel are grown in about half a year, and the time is almost the same.

Both Pan Zhuangniu and Pan Qiuyang are breeding for the first time, and they are both trembling. Serving their ancestors is like serving their own ponds, while Pan Zhuangniu is not as senior as Pan Qiuyang, so he is under a lot of psychological pressure. , I'm afraid that this matter will go wrong, I'm sorry for my daughter-in-law, my family, and Wei Jingze.

Wei Jingze said: "What about this? I know it well. I have already told you about the shipping channels. When will you be able to ship, just tell me, and we can ship."

Restaurants and restaurants in the imperial capital are all looking forward to the market of loach and eel. This thing is more expensive than shrimp gold, because there are few people raising it, and it is not easy to cook at home. Only chefs know the one hundred and eight recipes of cooking eel and loach, so Wei Wei Jingze has fixed these two shipping channels. If it is sold loose, one is troublesome, and the other is that many people don't know how to deal with it. If it is not handled well, it will not taste good and will be wasted.

Hearing Wei Jingze's words, Pan Zhuangniu was very happy and said, "Hey! That's good. I'll leave this to you. When I ship the goods, I will give you twenty catties."

Wei Jingze laughed and said, "Okay, I'll buy you a dozen catties at that time to improve the food for the masters of the engineering team."

Hearing this, Pan Zhuangniu couldn't help but gave Wei Jingze a thumbs up, and said, "You are really generous, and you can be regarded as such."

Wei Jingze smiled a little embarrassedly, feeling that the praise was too much.

At this time, Pan Qiuyang's second batch of lobsters will be on the market soon, and autumn is indeed the time for a bumper harvest.

Without Wei Jingze's urging, Pan Zhuangniu decided on the time when the loach and eel would be on the market, which would be mid-September.

When the eel and loach fishing started on the first day, Wei Jingze went to watch.Loach and eels are all stocked in ponds. Of course, they are not caught in a net like fish, but they also have their own methods.

Pan Qiuyang cooked the earthworms he raised at home, put them in an ordinary cage and buried them in the mud. After a few hours, many eels and loaches would come in. The cage can only enter but not exit, because The opening is facing inward, and the opening is getting smaller and smaller. After getting in, it is difficult to get out.

If four or five such cages are buried in the pond, hundreds of catties of rice field eels and loaches can be produced.

Both of these things are good at making holes in the mud. If you turn over bit by bit, you may not be able to get much by turning over for a long time. This kind of trapping method is much trickier.

When Pan Zhuang Niu fished eel and loach, many people came to see him. Everyone wanted to see how his harvest was. The harvest directly determines whether he can make money and how much money he makes!

Pan Zhuangniu has been guarding his own breeding pond, and he is very clear about the situation of loach and eel, so he is also very confident.

The first cage was pulled up, and the mud was washed away, and there were black loach and eels inside, rolling around and entangled with each other. People who don't like snakes will definitely get goose bumps when they see it.

Pan Zhuangniu put a bucket on the scale, and then began to pour loach and eel into it. He didn't stop until he had more than 20 catties, and said, "Ozawa, about 23 catties, I'll give it to you! Count me in." Thank you!"

Wei Jingze looked at the eel, twisting and turning in the bucket, it was as thick as his thumb, it was really fat!

"Okay, then I'll take it back, thank you Uncle Niu for your kindness!"

Both of them are straightforward people, and they didn't talk too much. Other people saw it and thought about it. Wei Jingze helped Pan Zhuangniu a lot, so it's okay for people to give more than 20 catties as a thank you gift, it should be .Both of them are kind and righteous people!

Pan Zhuangniu was a little excited, and his face was flushed. Although the sun was still a little bright in autumn, Pan Zhuangniu's red face must be excited.

"Today we can finally collect the eels in our family. In the past, we did not lack the love of everyone to take care of them, so I also followed Qiuyang's example. I will send two catties to each family, so that everyone can taste something new! If you like it , You can also come to my place to buy, the price of the folks in the village must be preferential."

The villagers must be reluctant to sell it at the price of the restaurant and the imperial capital.

All the onlookers said yes.

The first cage that was pulled up, besides the ones sent to the village, Wei Jingze bought more than ten catties, Pan Qiuyang also bought some, you buy some, I'll buy some, and it's over.This first cage is also the joy of a good harvest!

Pan Zhuangniu's daughter-in-law was collecting money by the pond with a smile on her face like a flower.After working so hard for half a year, when it was finally time to get the money, I was naturally extremely satisfied.

The cages in the back came out, and there were quite a few guys, all of them were put into the water tank, and they were sent to the restaurant and the imperial capital respectively tomorrow.

Field eels and loaches are not as easy to die as lobsters, so there is no need to worry too much. Just pay attention to keeping the body moist during transportation and have enough breathing space, and there will be no major problems.
