Chapter 1039: The Lazy and Bad Sister-in-law of a Blessed Farm Girl (34)

 Li Zheng came at a good time—the horse's hooves were ripe.

The horse's hooves are big, thin, juicy, and she doesn't mind sharing a basket with this caring little old man.

Li Zheng sighed: "I didn't expect that there are so many things that can be grown in this wild lake and pond."

He was already tempted, why not buy a small pond and imitate Meng Jin and his wife to grow lotus roots, water chestnuts, and raise ducks, fish, and shrimps?

Look at the ducks in Meng Jin's family. The young ducks are put in the rice fields to eat insects, and occasionally put into the lake to eat small fish and shrimps. They eat until they have round bellies without much feeding. The old ducks are left at home to lay eggs, and they will do a dozen a day. There are two at the bottom, and sometimes there are two at the bottom, which shows how well they are raised!

I gave him some salted duck eggs as a gift during the Chinese New Year. When I peeled them open, they were all double yolks.

Speaking of salted duck eggs, Li Zheng remembered his wife's advice and asked with a shy face: "Daughter-in-law Meng Jin, have you pickled your salted duck eggs this year? Pickled a few for me. My little grandson is not afraid of your jokes if he says it. I don’t like porridge, but with the salted duck eggs your family gave me, I swallowed the porridge in just a few bites.”

 Not to mention his little grandson, even he fell in love with salted duck eggs and porridge.

It’s a pity that the salted eggs pickled at home are just a little saltier than boiled eggs and far less delicious than those pickled at Meng Jin’s house.

 It’s oily, fragrant and delicious.

Xu Yin smiled and said: "Yes, the ones pickled last month are just good enough to eat. I'll pack some for you."

Since the ducks at home lay eggs every day, Xu Yin will pickle a batch of salted duck eggs every once in a while.

There are too many fresh eggs to eat, so pickled salted eggs are more durable, and the salted eggs she pickled are moderately salty, with soft yolks and bright red egg oil. Comrade Xiao Jin can eat a double yolk salted duck egg and kill three. Bowl of rice.

Li Zheng said jokingly on the road that he also wanted to buy a small pond to plant some lotus roots and raise some ducks to pickle salted eggs.

Xu Yin thought for a while and said: "Lizheng, our village has many rivers and lakes. Why don't we consider opening a collective lotus pond to grow lotus roots and raise ducks? Needless to say, fresh lotus roots can be sold to restaurants and restaurants in the town. At present, Qinghe County I haven’t heard of any village growing lotus roots. If we plant lotus roots in Dawa Village, the business will definitely be good. The yield is high, and we can make lotus root powder and sell it to traders from the north and south. If there are more duck eggs, I can also teach you how to pickle them. You can pick up as many eggs as you want and sell them in the town, and there will be business. In this way, everyone can work part-time at home, and there is no need to go to the town to find work."

Li Zheng looked confused: "Open a collective lotus pond? How to open it?"

Xu Yin simplified the collective economic management model of Later Village and told Li Zheng.

The more Li Zheng listened, the brighter his eyes became: "Is this still possible? Then I have to discuss it with the clan elders. There are so many lakes and ponds in our village. If we use them as you said, how much revenue can it bring to our village... "

He didn't even bother to take the salted duck eggs. He asked his grandson to bring some eggs to exchange for them later. He hurriedly went back to discuss with the clan elders.

 Xu Yin: “…”

 The little old man is very mobile!

However, it is still very good to build a collective lotus pond in Dawa Village.

 Not only Dawa Village, but also Xiaowa villagers can do it if they are willing.

 This is called adapting measures to local conditions. In another village, if you want to grow thousands of acres of lotus roots, you still don’t have the conditions.

 Even though Dawa Village is covered with lakes, there are only a few individuals who can spend a few taels or even dozens of taels to buy lakes and ponds.

For example, her family would not have been able to spend such a large amount of money to buy a lake without the fifty taels rewarded by the county magistrate.

If the village builds a collective lotus pond, plant lotus roots and raise ducks in the early stage, then set up a lotus seed and lotus root flour factory and a salted duck egg workshop in the later stage. Later, you can also try duck down products, lotus rouge, and lotus leaf tea. There are many money-making projects. . Even in the off-season, there is work to do every day. Do you still need to go to town to do part-time work?

Just like her Comrade Xiao Jin, she was thinking about the money spent on treating his leg. When the farm break came, she wanted to go to the town to find work. She worked so hard that she earned thirty yuan a day, but if she planned her lotus pond well, , maybe I can earn back the money for leg treatment in a year.

 This is not a pie in the sky, this is a visible return on investment.

The same goes for the villagers. Going to work for others in the town is nothing more than earning a few ready-made copper coins. Working for the village collective, what you earn is the dividends at the end of the year!

The workers are the villagers themselves, and the bosses are also the villagers themselves. If they work for themselves, how can they not do their best?

Everyone regards the village collective project as their own business, will the benefits be bad? Will there be less dividends at the end of the year?

The more Li Zheng and several clan elders thought about this idea proposed by Xu Yin, the more they felt that there was something wrong with the collective lotus pond!

 “It’s decided! Do it!”

 …

Xu Yin returned home carrying another basket of horseshoes.

Comrade Xiao Jin is sawing bamboo strips in the yard. He plans to build a fence in some dangerous places around the lotus pond and move some wild flowers on the mountain to make it nice and safe to prevent the village children from slipping into the lake when they come to play.

Since he bought the lake in front of his house, Xu Yin didn't need to brainwash him at all. He spontaneously regarded the lake as the couple's common cause and worked hard for it.

When there is no work in the fields, he runs to the lake. With twenty acres of ponds and wetlands surrounding the lake, there is endless things to do in a short period of time, and when he is done, he can always find what needs to be done.

As the lotus pond became more and more beautiful, his energy became better and better, his every move was confident, and he looked more charming. He was already tall, burly, and handsome, but now he was even more attractive.

No, when Goudanniang came to her house to do needlework with a bamboo basket, she repeatedly reminded her to keep an eye on her man:

"Widow Zhang from Xiaowa Village came to Huzi's house to buy tofu. She probably saw your man. She chased Huzi to inquire about your man. You'd better get some snacks! Even if Meng Jin is not that kind of person, she can't stand it. Some women are thick-skinned.”

 Is this just like "when flowers bloom, butterflies will come"?

Xu Yin didn't take Goudanniang's reminder to heart, but at night, when the young couple were lying on the same bed, the topic inevitably came up and they couldn't help but tease him a few words.

As a result, this guy said: "My house, land, and money all belong to my wife, including me. Ask me next time and ask her what she wants."

After saying that, he turned over and covered her, pulling her to play the symphony of spring.

 Ever since he recovered from his leg injury, married life has naturally been put on the agenda.

 The age of the two of them is now the time when youth is flourishing. There is no other entertainment in the evening. It is too easy to get pregnant by singing and singing every night.

 Fortunately, after a year of hard work, she successfully reduced her body fat rate to the healthiest standard and her weight dropped to 55 kg.

 Because of his small frame, it can’t be seen through clothes, but he is actually quite fleshy.

 But obviously, men are better at this. They are worried that she will continue to lose weight, so they desperately catch game and fish for shrimps to replenish her body.

 Since her body has reached a healthy state, Xu Yin has no intention of continuing to lose weight. After all, I will definitely plan to have children in the future, so it is better for pregnant mothers to have some flesh on their bodies.
