Chapter 424 I am a coward
The Huang family father and son had already weaved bamboo cages when they were raising fishes in the New Year. Now they are just in use, but the quantity is still not enough.
Maogen cut off his own bamboo and weaved it with my mother.
Hongshi Village is remote and in an era of inconvenient transportation, it takes one day to enter the city. Therefore, everyone refused to go out until they had to. All the necessary needs were self-sufficient.
The lids of the villagers’ houses, chairs, stools, tables, dustpans, brooms, backings, and drying mats are all made of bamboo and old vines on the mountain. Especially the older generation, they have good bamboo weaving skills.
Maogen's mother has good skills and the fish cage she woven is even more exquisite and beautiful.
It will be done in just two days. Everything is ready, but the east wind is needed. Where can I get the fish? First of all, do you have to have money to buy it?
Mao Gen was not in a hurry, and chatted with Huang Ming twice, and he became calculating in his heart.
On this day, he borrowed a 25 motorcycle that was loud and loud, but the horn was not loud, and he left the mountain and went to the battle village to sway.
Zhandou Village used to be a famous fish farming base in the county. Although it later became an industrial zone in the high-tech zone, relying on the convenient basic settings and transportation conditions here, the breeding industry was even more prosperous. Almost every family is raising it, and the variety of fish is also varied. Not to mention the green grass silver carp and bighead carp, there are many Wuchang fish, tilapia, angshin fish and even crayfish.
On this day, Maogen was wandering around the battle village, and saw a fishing pond next to him, which was about a small fishing pond. Some people kept pulling the white and fat catfish out of the water, and there were excited screams everywhere.
In addition to this pond, there are six or seven fish ponds next to it, which are obviously all of them belong to the same household.
This breeder is very large!
Attracted by the excitement, Maogen stopped the car and stopped to watch.
A man with the appearance of a boss came over and greeted him: "Do you guys come to fish?"
"Just look, I don't have fishing gear, either."
"What kind of fish gear do I need? I'll find you a bamboo pole and tie it with fishing line to use it. Catfish are very stupid and easy to catch."
Maogen asked again how to calculate fishing, and the boss replied that according to the market price, it was 10 yuan per pound.
"The price is about the same as the silver carp." Mao Gen said, and the angler next to him was still pulling the rods and making great achievements.
He thought to himself: This catfish is not stupid, but hungry, and he is worried about the world without any money. Do you dare to catch it? I am afraid that you will not be able to get rid of it at that time.
"Just this price, it's not a local catfish." The boss saw that Maogen was very vulgar and had a good impression of his youth.
He started talking to him and said that this catfish eats rotten food under the water, and the fish has a strong fishy smell and water odor, which is not too rare for everyone to eat. Generally speaking, after the fish is grown, they are sent to a hot pot restaurant. A pot of pepper and chili pepper will cover the smell.
After saying that, the boss asked again, "Little brother, aren't you really fishing?"
Maogen: "Brother, to be honest, I also want to raise fish in a fish pond and seek lessons from you breeding masters. If you don't want to show your bottom, I won't ask more questions."
Boss: "What a great master? This kind of catfish is very good. It is not afraid of heat or cold, or lack of oxygen. You can live by throwing some feed. Even if you don't lose feed, TMD will not starve to death. It is more powerful than labor and capital. Raising this thing really has no technical content. The key is that you have to have capital. Brother, when we meet, you will see it, and you will just want to see it. If you want to ask me, you will never hide your own personal information, so let's make friends. If your little brother becomes rich in the future, remember me, my brother, and it will be enough to come and have a few glasses of wine with me."
At that moment, he handed Mao Gen a cigarette and led him to look around and introduce them in detail.
In fact, the boss feeds the catfish too roughly. He just throws away a little of the feed, but he thinks it is expensive and refuses to put it on too much. He has a relative who works in the meat joint field. Taking advantage of this relationship, he goes over and pulls some spare parts from time to time to go home. For example, pig lymph, pig skin, etc. and throws it away directly, and sometimes he even carries shit.
The water poured into it one bucket at a time.
Don’t look at these things as disgusting, but fish love to eat them, they all look white and fat and full of hope.
However, his relative in the meat factory has quit recently, which is a bit of a headache.
The feed is high in cost, but it is still not as popular as fresh meat and catfish.
After hearing this, Mao Gen's heart moved and asked, "Brother, will I use the dead chicken to exchange for you for the catfish?"
"What?" The boss was stunned: "I don't understand very much."
Maogen said, brother, aren’t you making fish feeding things? I don’t have the capital now. There is a chicken feeder in our village, which is also large in scale. A few people will die from time to time. I gathered them over and changed the fish seeds for you.
The boss admired Maogen's unique idea and asked with a smile how to change it. Do you plan to exchange a pound of dead chicken for me for a pound of catfish?
Maogen: "How is that possible? If I say that, it would offend people and insult your IQ! In this way, I will exchange for ten pounds of dead chicken for you one pound of live catfish."
The boss thought about it and it would be no problem to feed ten pounds of dead chicken with one pound of fish. He even made some money, so he was willing to do so.
Mao Gen's idea was to hit Chen Xin.
Chen Xin now raises 10,000 chickens.
The feed laying hen is kept in a cage all his life and is extremely courageous. Once there is any movement, it will scare the egg nest and cannot lay eggs, or simply be scared to death.
Every month, twenty or thirty chickens are eliminated in Chen Xin, and most of them are thirty or fifty.
In the past, the chickens that died in Chen Xin's family were disinfected and buried directly in the soil. When they encountered the chickens that did not lay eggs, they would eat them themselves.
It was okay when the dead chicken was buried in the ground at the beginning, but the wasteland was gradually insufficient, and there was also the possibility of polluting the environment. How to deal with it has become a big problem.
As for eating it yourself, the feed chicken tastes really bad. I often eat it. My family wants to vomit when they see the chicken, but they will not touch a chopstick.
Seeing Maogen come to ask for it, Chen Xin and his family were very happy and said, "Thank you, brother Maogen, you have helped us a lot."
Chen Xin heard that Maogen wanted to use these dead chicken chops, and was a little worried. Brother Maogen, you can't just do whatever you want. If you sell dead chickens, you will go to jail. It's not good to eat people badly.
Professional chickens who raise laying chickens for three years will not lay eggs, so they will be eliminated. So, what should I do if the old chickens are sold to the dealer for one dollar per pound and made into braised chickens.
Later, after the Food and Drug Administration cracked down several times, no one came to collect it.
According to Chen Xin, the laying hens eliminated by other farmers are loaded directly into the steel factory and taken to the cement factory, and thrown into the blast furnace. They are efficient, harmless and quick, but are very inhumane.
Mao Gen patted his chest and said, "How can I? I am the least courageous. My belly trembles when I see my uniformed feet."
Chen Xin thought to himself: You are timid. When you see a woman, you are as brave as sweet potatoes. When your mind is hot, you can do anything dirty.
