Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

The number of people seems large, but when the two old men organize them, it is busy but not chaotic.

At this time, He Yuzhu also remembered that these days, whether in schools or villages, there were various military trainings.

These days, it can be said that the Chinese people's execution of orders has reached 100%.

Just like the home-changing strategy proposed above last year, all the people are training. The commune has organized several large-scale transfer drills for everyone, young and old.

Not only people, but even the animals in the village can obey orders.

So what He Yuzhu was worried about was now in vain.

They all carry out and complete the tasks assigned to them.

In just a short while, He Yuzhu walked into the pond barefoot and picked up two or three basins of fish. The entire pond was cleaned up in this way.

Looking at the posture, even the small fish inside were not spared.

On average, the gross weight of one acre of pond is just over 400 jin.

Now He Yuzhu can finally put his mind at ease.

Even if you remove all the mud, fish and other things inside, the net weight should be over 350 kilograms.

Taking an average purchase price of 0.2 yuan per pound, the income per mu is more than 70 yuan.

In Sijiu City, not many people eat fish, but the price of fish is higher than in the south.

Crucian carp weighing more than 300 grams can be sold for 30 to 50 cents per catty, and grass carp can be sold for more than 40 cents. These two types of fish are the most common in the pond.

But we can only count the purchase price and deduct some additional expenses.

By this calculation, I should be making money.

However, this breeding model is really difficult to replicate.

Before raising fish, He Yuzhu also looked up some information. For example, fish farming in the north now is basically free-range in lakes.

If the yield per mu can reach 50 to 80 kilograms, it would be considered good.

In the south, the yield can reach over 200 to 300 kilograms, but that requires careful breeding in ponds.

He Yuzhu started using the greenhouse from the time the fish fry came out.

The juveniles are fed concentrated feed, including soybean meal, and this is fed regularly from the juvenile stage to the adult stage.

And the pig manure fertilizer ponds all cost a lot of money.

The existing ponds and the fish feed planted all over the mountains are not actually included in the cost.

In fact, to put it bluntly, fish farming in the north has low yields, one reason is that the wintering time is long, and the other is the lack of feed.

For example, by the 1980s, fish ponds in rural northern China could produce more than 400 kilograms per mu.

He Yuzhu didn't care about those things. Anyway, the fish pond had produced good results under his leadership. And even if the fish pond of this commune could not reach 400 kilograms in the future, 300 kilograms or more would still be acceptable.

All the things needed for the greenhouse are ready-made and do not require any secondary investment.

As for replicating this model to other communes, whether the initial investment can reach the current scale is a matter for the education department.

At least you won't lose money.

People in the education sector are not fools. When they calculate the costs, they certainly won’t do it the same way as He Yuzhu.

Just like the pond mouth, He Yuzhu's side is ready.

It is necessary to dig several water diversion channels.

But if it is raised in other places, it is estimated that reservoirs and natural lakes will still be used as carriers.

Then other people’s expectations wouldn’t be that high.

He Yuzhu can look up information, and so can others.

The key point for the education department to focus on this issue is the model of student aid, not the specific output. The focus is completely different.

"It's worth it!" He Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief as he stood by.

"Not only did we make no loss, we made a fortune." The old village chief smiled brightly, as if he had just picked up money on the ground.

"Your village must have made a profit. Just from the silt, how many fields can be fertilized? How much fertilizer can be saved? You will not lose out just on this." The one who tried to spoil the fun was Principal Zhu. He was an acquaintance of the old village chief, and the school was right on the village grounds.

"Not only that, the kiln asked us to purchase a batch of fish to provide benefits to the workers.

Without giving tickets, I negotiated the price of crucian carp weighing more than 150 grams to 35 cents. They are all from the factory in our commune, so I just gave them a discount.

We are all from the same village, so we should keep the wealth within the family." The old village chief played another trump card at this time.

I guess he was eyeing the output of the pond here, and because the output is high, he brought up this matter.

"Is there any objection from the supply and marketing cooperative?" He Yuzhu asked worriedly.

This is why the old village chief said this at this time.

These days, things like purchasing are all done according to plan.

There are also unplanned purchases, for example, the ingredients used in the small canteen of the steel rolling mill are basically unplanned purchases.

To put it bluntly, it is the steel mill's secret piggy bank.

This is the norm in the workplace today.

But the needs of formal channels must be taken into account.

Just like this kind of breeding output, it should all be handed over to the supply and marketing cooperatives for sale.

If it's just an individual who takes some money and buys one or two pairs privately here, then there's no big problem.

But there are seven or eight kiln factories here in the commune, with the small ones employing hundreds of workers and the large ones probably having nearly 200. There are also quite a few laborers from the neighboring communes who come here to do odd jobs.

This is a large purchase volume.

If the supply and marketing cooperative does not agree and reports the matter to the higher authorities, then whoever handles the matter will be in trouble.

"Our own supply and marketing cooperative does business for our commune all year round. We don't take the products to the city to sell. If they dare to say no, everyone in the commune will go after them." There was nothing wrong with what the old village chief said. After all, although the supply and marketing cooperative was incorporated into the city's supply and marketing general cooperative, when it was first opened, all the people in the commune invested in it.

People in later generations all loved to eat wild fish and thought that farmed fish were like tofu dregs.

But these days, wild fish, especially wild crucian carp, are not as delicious as farmed ones.

There is no way around it. Wild crucian carp has a strong earthy smell, and people these days are reluctant to add oil.

Therefore, wild crucian carp is not as delicious when cooked as farmed one.

The above is all due to the development of the times and the increase in material wealth, which has changed people's eating habits.

"Hehe, we can sell it for 40 cents a pound if we take it to the city." Principal Zhu began to dismantle the stage again.

"You are also an educated person. Don't you understand the principle of distance and closeness? This is our own factory. Besides, it is better than selling it to the supply and marketing cooperative for two or three cents, right?" The old village chief was not afraid, but started to calculate the economic accounts with Principal Zhu.

“Then I don’t care, the profits you give up are all for the students’ meals.

Those students are also from your commune." Principal Zhu said directly.

In this regard, Principal Zhu is definitely being unreasonable.

Anyone can do the math. If the catch is sent to a supply and marketing cooperative, the purchase price will never be higher than the retail price, depending on the size of the fish.

But Principal Zhu was just unreasonable, and the old village chief was helpless.

He Yuzhu said nothing, just stood by and watched the fun.

The old village chief gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want?" (End of this chapter)
