Chapter 83 [083] Buying fry

Zhuo Dajun finally bought about 400 grass carp and crucian carp. This is the amount added together. One tail costs an average of 5 cents and costs 20 yuan.

I didn’t buy duck seedlings. First, the movement was too big, and second, there were no extra people at home to feed so many ducks, so I chose fish that didn’t need to be taken care of.

However, only Zhuo Lin knew that raising fish in rice fields is actually a technical job, and it is not as simple as Zhuo Dajun imagined.

But she also realized that Zhuo Dajun was ready to let them die on their own. In fact, it was not just fish, but even the rice in the rice fields was a matter of food. In the era without pesticides, relying on farm fertilizer alone was far from enough. The pests and diseases in the rice fields were quite serious, which was also the main reason why the yield was not increased.

Although the yield in later generations increased, humans indirectly ate more pesticides, and these additional costs are actually equivalent to the harvest.

Although the rice-flowered fish has a tender meat and a different flavor, it is necessary to overcome the contradictions with traditional rice cultivation during the breeding process, such as drying fields, fertilizing, spraying medicine, etc. It takes about a week to grow rice to "dry fields" without water. What should the fish do?

Moreover, chemical fertilizers cannot be used for raising fish in rice fields. They all use agricultural machinery or farm fertilizer, which has high requirements for application of medicine. Especially in later generations, they were mechanized and had high requirements for the flatness of rice fields. The ditches, fish pits, and drainage ditches dug for raising fish in rice fields greatly increase the difficulty of mechanization.

Therefore, in later generations, fish farming in rice fields was gradually replaced by crabs, loaches and ducks. Of course, this is also a model of rice fields, which depends entirely on what the owner thinks and does.

If the reality cannot achieve this, Zhuo Lin has no need to say these extra words. They may have heard of pesticides and fertilizers with them, but the reality was not gradually known to farmers until the late 1970s. No one even used it at the beginning, thinking that the price is high and the returns are inconsistent, so everything needs a gradual process.

400 fish are not small, and they are placed on average in four acres of land, with an average of hundreds of fish per acre. If all these fish can survive, they can also be sold for a considerable income.

Someone saw their family buying fish fry and came over to ask, and Zhuo Dajun would inquire about the news from the Agricultural Technology Station and tell the villagers in the same village.

People like to follow the trend, but not everyone has the conditions to breed like this, so some people buy it, and naturally some people choose to wait and see.

Before Zhuo Dajun went out to work, their family's savings also dropped to more than 40 yuan.

However, life is getting better and better. Now that he has a formal job, the villagers are envious and his family is at ease. He has also gained a lot of energy and the money will inevitably be saved.

Around June 28, the public grain was gradually started to be paid. Their six acres of land yielded 1,560 kilograms, but they had to hand over 40-50% of the public grain, six or seven hundred kilograms. You can save the remaining grain by yourself or hand it over to the grain station, but when you hand it over to the grain station, you have to charge a certain handling fee every time you go to collect it. This was the method of later generations in the 1980s and 1990s, but I didn’t expect it to be applied to the 1960s.
