A few days later, the wolfdog's condition gradually improved, which showed that it was out of danger, and Zhang Jin, who had been worrying about it, was relieved. However, the wolf dog is currently inconvenient to move, and can only temporarily stay in the nest that Yuan Hong prepared for it.
Zhang Jin would give it something to eat every day, but every time he fed it, the wolf dog would growl threateningly at him. But it couldn't move and couldn't hurt Zhang Jin. Because of this, Yuan Hong let Zhang Jin feed it with confidence.
After listening to Zhang Jin's narration that day, Yuan Hong really put it into action.
On the one hand, he trusts Zhang Jin, and at the same time, he also thinks that fish farming in rice fields does have its feasibility. On the other hand, if it succeeds, it will be of great significance... The
next day, he went to the village chief's house to buy three acres of land.
Zhang Jin said that he wanted to plant wheat, but it was spring, and they were suitable for winter wheat. So he and Zhang Jin negotiated, planting rice first, and then planting wheat when the season is right. Fortunately, the rice planting season has not yet passed.
Zhang Jin gave Yuan Hong a detailed explanation of the methods he had learned in later generations, and drew him a design drawing of a rice field.
To raise fish in rice fields, first of all, the paddy field must be selected well, and it must ensure that the water source is sufficient, the water quality is good and pollution-free, and the irrigation and drainage are convenient. The next step is to reinforce and raise the ridge, open fishing hooks and fish pits, make fish fences, disinfect with quicklime, and so on. It looks simple, but it takes a lot of work to do.
Yuan Hong deliberately went to a village specializing in fish farming to buy good fry and put them in. Two of the three acres of land were raised with grass carp and one acre of crabs.
Thinking of the plump and spicy hairy crabs, Zhang Jin was drooling, and asked Yuan Hong to set aside an acre of land to raise it.
When people in the village heard that Yuan Hong was going to raise fish and crabs in the fields, they came to visit and watch the fun. Everyone thought that he was crazy, to think of this method to ruin himself, ruin the fields, and ruin the food! Some villagers headed by the village chief persuaded Yuan Hong to let him farm the land steadily.
"Yuan Hong, I've never heard of raising fish and crabs in the fields. It's unbelievable. Stop being obsessed!" the village chief persuaded loudly.
"Yeah, Yuanhong," a respected old man in the village interjected, "The things handed down from the ancestors are right, I have never heard of raising fish in the fields, let alone raising crabs! The big claws of crabs will definitely All the seedlings were cut off! How could it be possible to put them together! You should stop!"
"It didn't happen before, it doesn't mean it can't be done, only practice will know the result." Yuan Hong insisted.
Crowd watching a person come out, with angry and said: "!! Do you know what three kung mean for ordinary people's homes, but that a full year's income ah delayed season rice, how much food was lost"
original Hong knew that they were well-meaning, but he would not give up, "What if it succeeded? In that case, I don't need to say what it will bring. Everyone knows it." Yuan Hong looked at the people around him. I am really good for him, some are watching the fun, and some are waiting for a good show. He believed in Zhang Jin, this was definitely not a casual joke. "You're right, most of the ordinary people's families are poor, especially the peasant families who rely on farming for a living. It is because of this that if raising fish and crabs can be done, it can change the lives of some people..." Yuan Hong is not that great. He experimented with rice fields to raise fish for the benefit of the common people. It's just that most people are questioning him now. If his actions cannot convince everyone, then the villagers will jointly file a letter and sue the yamen, and his family's fields may be confiscated by the government. The law of this world just happens to be like this. It probably means that if someone owns the land, but it is abandoned or wastes, the government has the right to confiscate the land. This decree was promulgated by the first emperor of the dynasty. At that time, the war had just subsided, the people were struggling, and most people could not have enough to eat. The emperor issued this decree in order to solve the empty grain depot and prevent a large number of nobles from encroaching on land. , which has been implemented for hundreds of years, although the grain depot is now full, it has not been abolished. The village chief pondered for a long time, seeing that Yuan Hong was very firm, and his mind of resistance gradually subsided. If it is as Yuan Hong said, in case it succeeds, it will be of great significance to their village and even this country!
"Okay. You've made a decision, and we won't stop you any more. I hope you can succeed." Despite saying this, the village chief didn't think there was a possibility of success, but he still had some hope.
The prestige of the village chief in the village was very high, and others saw that the village chief had no opinion, so they did not speak any more, and everyone left one after another.
"Cut! Really good to be true! If really into, will sow on the tree! Who Yuanhong madness good? I think he is not only crazy, but my mind has a problem!"
A village Yoriko after and the crowd recede Said, but he did not dare to say it in front of Yuan Hong, but only opened his mouth after a certain distance.
The people around him laughed in agreement.
Yuan Hong was so far away that he didn't hear what he was saying.
However, Zhang Jin hesitated.
The reason is that Mammy Zhang came to the mountain that day and told Zhang Jin about it. Let him persuade Yuan Hong to let him go.
Zhang Jin didn't expect that it was just a paddy field to raise fish, and it would cause such a big disturbance. In particular, Mammy Zhang told him that if Yuan Hong failed this time, if someone with a bad heart spread the matter, it would be very bad for Yuan Hong's reputation, and even more serious, even the government could intervene. .
Zhang Jin didn't expect this to happen, so he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Although he knows the entire process and steps, he does not necessarily guarantee success. What's more, Yuan Hong just listened to his narration and did not personally participate in it, so the probability of failure is higher.
Just because of his remarks, Yuan Hong is now waiting for everyone to see a joke, and it may even have a great impact on him, such as smearing his reputation!
Thinking of this, Zhang Jin inevitably hesitated. Although he could not guarantee success, he also believed that the possibility of failure was not high, and he was still confident. However, if Yuan Honglai was a bet, he would rather not.
"You must persuade Yuan Hong not to let him take risks. So many wise ancestors have never discovered that rice fields can raise fish, which means that it is impossible to achieve this," said Mammy Zhang.
"But it's true! I've seen it with my own eyes!" Everyone refused to believe it, even Mammy Zhang said so, Zhang Jin couldn't help but refute.
"Okay, then tell me where you met? Don't you remember what you said?"
"I..." Zhang Jin had nothing to say.
"Children, for your own good, you should persuade Yuan Hong."
Zhang Jin finally nodded.
When Yuan Hong came back, he saw Zhang Jin sitting sullenly on the rattan chair in the yard. He walked over and took the person into his arms, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter? Why are you unhappy?"
Zhang Jin buried his face in his arms. In his arms, he said sullenly, "We still don't want to keep fish and crabs."
"Why do you say that?" Yuan Hong raised his face, "Don't you want to eat crabs? And you also said rice fields. Raising fish and crabs is feasible."
"But... I can't guarantee success. Mammy Zhang told me today that many people are watching your jokes, and if you fail, it will cause a lot of damage to your reputation. Influence. All of this is my idea, you shouldn't be responsible for it, let's forget it..."
Yuan Hong smiled slightly, "I don't care if my reputation is bad already. Besides, I believe that You. No matter what others think, we just do what we want to do, and you should have confidence in me." After listening to Yuan Hong's words, Zhang Jin thought about it, and finally dispelled the hesitation in his heart. and worry. In case of failure, he must bear the burden together with Yuan Hong, and never let him suffer alone! Also, this was originally proposed by him, but he didn't have the guts to do it. How do you know it won't work if you haven't tried it yet? And based on modern experience, plus he has done research on purpose, what is there to be afraid of! Don't you believe Yuan Hong? "Okay, let's do our own." Zhang Jin made up his mind. After everything in Tianli was done, Yuan Hong would go to Tianli every day to take a look, and sometimes Zhang Jin would ask Yuan Hong to take him over to take a look. If nothing else, success should be fine.
However, Yuan Hong is famous, and almost the whole Ping'an Town knows about Yuan Hong.
However, most people regard it as a joke, because the practice of raising fish in rice fields has never happened since ancient times. In the eyes of some people, it can be regarded as unthinkable, and gradually, it is regarded as a joke after a meal.
When the two went to "Xiao Zhai", the shop assistants looked at them strangely.
Zhang Jin was helpless, afraid that even Lou Xiao and Li Mingyin knew about it. However, the two of them didn't care, and let them go as they see and think outside.
"You really did that?!" Lou Xiaolue asked in surprise.
"Well, do you also think it's impossible?" Zhang Jin replied.
"That's not true." Lou Xiao touched his stomach and regained his original expression, "The first person to eat crabs needs a lot of courage. Success is the second, your courage is my Lou. The thing that Xiao admires the most is that I usually underestimate you!"
Later, Lou Xiao asked the two about the details of raising fish in rice fields, but he didn't go too deep.
Zhang Jin knew that Lou Xiao respected their skills, and he was very interested in Lou Xiao. Xiao liked it even more.
Since the last time I bought the recipe for strawberry jam, Li Mingyin occasionally approached Zhang Jin to discuss cooking skills. Zhang Jin learned a lot about making dim sum from him, and admired Li Mingyin even more. After getting the recipe for strawberry jam, he made inferences from one case to another. He has already researched several other types of jam, and has also made improvements to strawberry jam. He is really a master in this area!
