Era: My backyard is the garbage dump of the universe

Chapter 227 What a fat little tiger!

After signing the document, I paid a deposit of fifty yuan.

Liu Qingsong received the receipt written by Secretary Chen himself.

The receipt was stamped not only with the seal of the Huaishu Production Team, but also with the seal of the Songmu Commune, as well as the personal signatures of Secretary Chen and Wang Yaoqing.

In other words, from this point on, all the fish ponds and crucian carp reservoirs of the Huaishu Production Team were contracted by Liu Qingsong.

As for the losses and profits, Liu Qingsong is responsible for them himself.

He was also responsible for the wages of the cadres of the Huaishu production team.

This made Liu Lijuan speechless when she returned. She wanted to find Liu Qingsong to argue with him several times, but she held it in in the end.

After all, she was about to get married, and she couldn't interfere in the affairs of the family even if she wanted to.

Liu Qingsong guessed what Liu Lijuan was thinking, so after collecting the receipt, he smiled and moved a chair to sit at the door of the main hall: "Second sister, don't be angry, I will ask you three questions now, if you answer them, I will tell you why I want to contract the fish pond in the team."

"Then ask." Liu Lijuan sat opposite Liu Qingsong.

"First of all, how much does a pound of grass carp cost on the black market now?" Liu Qingsong asked the first question.

"About 25 or 26 cents. When it's expensive, it can be sold for about 30 cents. Why are you asking this?" Liu Lijuan couldn't help but ask another question while answering.

Liu Qingsong smiled and replied, "Nothing! I'm just asking casually. Now answer the second question. The Crucian Carp Reservoir hasn't been cleaned for more than ten years. If I cleaned it, it wouldn't be too much to have a hundred grass carps weighing more than ten kilograms in it, right?"

"It's not too much. The problem is, can you clean out the bottom of the Crucian Carp Reservoir?" Liu Lijuan frowned.

More than a decade ago, clearing the bottom of the Crucian Carp Reservoir required the manpower and resources of the entire production team.

If a private contractor now invites so many people to help with the cleanup, I'm afraid the result will be a loss without even a penny left.

"Don't worry about whether we can clear the bottom of the crucian carp reservoir. Let me do the math for you. One pound of grass carp is 25 cents, so ten pounds is two dollars and fifty cents. One hundred grass carps weighing more than ten pounds is two or three hundred dollars. How much is Uncle Wang and Zhou Mazi's salary? The total of the two is less than a hundred, right?" Liu Qingsong asked with a smile.

"That's true, but the problem is how do you get the big grass carp out of the crucian carp reservoir?" Liu Lijuan said with a worried face.

No one is stupid now.

I know that there are fish in the crucian carp reservoir, and there are big grass carps weighing 20 to 30 kilograms. There are also big fish in the Luotang and other fish ponds. After all, the bottom of the pond has not been thoroughly cleaned for many years.

But the problem is that the Crucian Carp Reservoir has a constant flow of water all year round, and water flows into it from surrounding streams. So it is almost impossible to drain it and clear the bottom, unless we borrow a dozen large water pumps to pump it out, as we did more than a decade ago.

But is this realistic?
Obviously unrealistic!
Because the spring plowing season was approaching, it was impossible for the villagers who had divided the land into individual households to allow Liu Qingsong to open the sluice gates and drain the Crucian Carp Reservoir, leaving the crops without water for irrigation.

Water from reservoir and fish pond.

Always give priority to irrigating the seedlings.

This is the rule that has been in place since the Huaishu Production Team was established. No one can go beyond it, and it is impossible to change it. After all, everyone relies on the water from the reservoir and fish pond for their livelihood, so it is impossible for Liu Qingsong to mess around.

Otherwise, the contracting fees for the fish ponds and reservoirs of the Huaishu Production Team would not be so cheap.

Liu Qingsong was a reborn person, so he could naturally guess what Liu Lijuan was thinking. He smiled and replied, "Anyway, I have plenty of ways to get the big fish out of the Crucian Carp Reservoir, so don't worry about me."

"Do you think I want to worry about that? I'm just worried that you'll suffer so many losses after contracting so many fish ponds that you won't even be able to cry." Seeing that Liu Qingsong didn't listen to her advice, Liu Lijuan got up and left, never paying any attention to Liu Qingsong again.

Liu Qingsong had a headache.

After thinking about it.

So he found a bamboo fishing rod and a worn-out fishing tackle box and went out.

"Where are you going so late?" Liu Lijuan saw him and chased after him.

"Didn't you say that I couldn't catch the big fish in the fish ponds and reservoirs? I'll get you a few now to try." Liu Qingsong said as he turned on the flashlight to illuminate the road to Luotang.

"No..." Liu Lijuan was afraid that Liu Qingsong might get into trouble while walking at night, so she hurriedly followed behind him.

"Uncle, wait for Ha Wo!" After seeing this, little Nuomi hurriedly chased after him with his short legs.

Liu Lijuan wanted to scold Xiao Nuomi and ask her to go back, but Liu Qingsong took Xiao Nuomi's hand, and the two of them walked towards Luotang, talking and laughing.

A few minutes later, the three of them arrived at the embankment of Luotang.

Liu Qingsong didn't waste any words. He sat on the bench, took out the bait he brought from the Wanjie garbage dump, put it on the fishhook, and then threw it out.

Liu Lijuan sat on the grass nearby and watched.

After watching for two or three minutes, she said, "Qingsong, don't be stubborn with me. I'll give you an hour. If you can't catch grass carp, you can come back with me..."

The words are not finished yet.

The bamboo fishing rod in Liu Qingsong's hand bent, and then the water surface splashed, and a slender grass carp's back floated to the surface. Judging from its length, the grass carp weighed at least eight or nine kilograms.

"No way? We caught a big grass carp already?" Liu Lijuan widened her eyes in surprise.

Liu Qingsong did not explain to Liu Lijuan, but concentrated on leaning his body to catch the big grass carp. When the big grass carp was tired and could not struggle anymore, he carefully dragged the big grass carp to the shore.

Seeing this, Xiao Nuomi quickly and skillfully picked up the net bag and caught the big grass carp.

But she was too small to lift it, so she could only look up at Liu Lijuan beside her: "Second Aunt, what are you daydreaming about! Hurry up and help me catch the big fish."

"Oh! Oh!" Liu Lijuan quickly came to her senses and fished up the big grass carp, then lifted it up and put it into the fish basket: "This grass carp weighs at least ten kilograms."

"Yeah." Liu Qingsong nodded: "I estimate that there are at least dozens of such large grass carps in the pond."

"Is this true?" Liu Lijuan gasped. "Then wouldn't it be a big profit for you to contract so many fish ponds?"

"It's not all profit. Other fish ponds don't have as many fish as Luotang and Crucian Carp Reservoir." Liu Qingsong replied softly: "Do you know why this is the case? It's because Luotang and Crucian Carp Reservoir have never been truly cleaned."

Without a clear bottom line.

Then no one knows how many fish are in the water.

"So what are you going to do with these fish?" Liu Lijuan asked excitedly, with the previous worried look on her face no longer visible.

"Of course we eat them! If we can't finish them, we'll sell some." Liu Qingsong replied.

"Yeah, I like the boiled fish made by Uncle Qia the most!" Little Nuomi also agreed.

"It's more than 20 cents per pound! How can we keep it at home and eat it?" Liu Lijuan frowned: "How about this, I can ask Wang Qing to come over one day and buy some to sell on the black market?"

"Okay, I'll listen to my second sister." Seeing another big grass carp was hooked, Liu Qingsong quickly picked up the bamboo fishing rod.

Seeing that this grass carp was bigger than the previous one, he immediately became serious.

It took more than ten minutes to finally catch the big grass carp.

Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Qingsong stopped fishing and put away his fishing gear: "Second sister, now you don't doubt my ability, right?"

"No doubt about it anymore." Liu Lijuan said with a smile.

"Then let's go home and come fishing again tomorrow when we have time." Liu Qingsong said.

"Okay! Okay!" Liu Lijuan nodded repeatedly. After Liu Qingsong put away the fishing gear and picked up the big grass carp in the fish basket, she took Xiao Nuomi and walked towards the door of the house.

……

After returning home, Liu Qingsong put the big grass carp into a large water tank and went straight to the backyard.

After his second sister and Xiao Nuomi fell asleep, he closed the wooden door of the backyard, then opened it and walked into the garbage dump of all worlds.

Inside the glass chamber, the liquid robot is using a tracking mirror to cooperate with the little eagle outside to search for the surviving tigers in Tiger Mountain.

Seeing Liu Qingsong coming in, he turned around and said, "There is a bad news and a good news. Which one do you want to hear?"

"Bad news!" Liu Qingsong moved a bench and sat in front of the tracking mirror.

"The bad news is that so far, the guardian vine, the little eagle, the tracking mirror and I have only found two adult tigers. As for the other tigers, they are all missing." The liquid robot said expressionlessly.

"What?" Liu Qingsong widened his eyes.

He was at Tiger Mountain at the time.

But I saw more than a dozen tigers.

This does not include the little tigers. How come they all disappeared and were hunted in such a short time?
Liquid Robot: "Although we cannot rule out the possibility that there are other tigers that have not been discovered, the number of tigers in Wild Boar Ridge and Tiger Mountain is basically no more than five."

"Because during my search, I found six tigers dead in the Tiger Mountain. Without exception, they all died of poisoning."

"Do you know who did it?" Liu Qingsong frowned.

"Not sure." The liquid robot shook his head: "But according to the recent supply and demand of tiger bones and tiger skins purchased by Dayu City, they all point to Qin An."

"You mean..." Liu Qingsong was furious when he heard this: "These tigers were poached and killed because of that damned Zhengyi?" "Zhengyi is still using tigers as medicine to treat diseases?"

Liquid robot: "Well, it's possible. If you want, I can monitor the conversation between Qin An and Zheng Xiuyi 24 hours a day."

"No need, it's obvious that they did it, why do we need to monitor it?" Liu Qingsong said as he turned and walked out of the glass warehouse and came to the two big tigers in the energy shield.

The two big tigers were having their wounds bandaged by Alcy. They were not afraid when they saw Liu Qingsong coming. Instead, they gently rubbed Liu Qingsong's trouser legs.

This made Liu Qingsong feel very uncomfortable.

After a long sigh.

He said to the liquid robot that was walking over: "When I'm not around, you have to take good care of them. If necessary, you can feed them with Rock Fragrance Demon Pork and other ingredients to increase their strength."

"Do you want them to go out and seek revenge on Qin An?" asked the liquid robot.

"No! I will avenge them. They will help me resist invaders in the future." Liu Qingsong said as he walked towards the vegetable field.

Seeing that all the vegetable seeds scattered by the liquid robot in the vegetable field had sprouted, and some of them had three or four tender leaves, I couldn't help but ask: "How did you make them sprout in such a short time? Not a single vegetable seed has sprouted in my vegetable greenhouse so far."

"Because I used this." The liquid robot handed Liu Qingsong a round device similar to a mechanical watch: "You install it in the vegetable greenhouse, and the vegetable seeds will sprout in two days."

"What is this?" Liu Qingsong took it and looked at it.

"Thermostat," the liquid robot replied.

"Thermostat???" Liu Qingsong was puzzled.

Liquid robot: "Yes, the thermostat! It can keep a constant temperature in a certain area. The vegetable seeds you planted did not germinate, which must be related to the temperature and humidity in the vegetable greenhouse."

"With this thermostat, the temperature and humidity issues can be solved."

"Oh, I see!" Liu Qingsong nodded, took the liquid robot's words to heart, and then asked the liquid robot how to use the thermostat. He didn't go back to sleep until almost one in the morning.

Because he went to bed very late, Liu Qingsong slept until nine in the morning.

After washing up and eating something, he took the thermostat and installed it in the vegetable greenhouse.

To be on the safe side, he covered it with straw.

After finishing all this, Liu Qingsong was about to fetch water to irrigate the vegetable field to make the vegetable seeds germinate quickly, but at the door came the baby voice of Xiao Nuomi: "Uncle, that beautiful sister is here again!"

"I understand." Liu Qingsong knew that Li Fenfen had come. After answering, he quickly walked towards the gate.

At the gate, under the pomelo tree, Li Fenfen, who was teasing Little Nuomi, saw Liu Qingsong appear, and happily went to greet him: "Qingsong, is Mr. Jiang ready to come to my house?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't even told him yet!" Liu Qingsong glanced at the sky and saw that it was gloomy and it seemed like it was going to rain heavily. He immediately suggested, "How about this! You and I go to see him directly. We can talk it out in person if we have anything to say."

"Okay! Okay!" Li Fenfen nodded repeatedly, took Xiao Nuomi's hand and walked towards Pangdun's house with Liu Qingsong.

……

The backyard of Fatty's house.

Old Jiang is taking Wang Lanlan's pulse.

Seeing that he was recovering well, he couldn't help but stroke his beard and nodded: "Wang Lanlan, you can go back and rest later. Just follow the prescription I wrote for you and I guarantee that you will be cured within a month."

"But where in the whole Dayu City can we find a doctor as good as you?" Wang Lanlan looked at Old Jiang with melancholy: "How about this, I'd better stay at Fatty's house and recuperate, and go back when I'm well again."

"It's up to you." Old Jiang smiled and was about to go to see how the boiled Chinese medicine was going when Liu Qingsong walked into the backyard with Li Fenfen and Xiao Nuomi.

"Grandpa Jiang, have you had breakfast?" As soon as little Nuomi saw Grandpa Jiang, he tilted his little head and greeted him in a baby voice.

"Hahaha... I ate it." Jiang Lao smiled and picked up Xiao Nuomi. After rubbing Xiao Nuomi's head, he looked at Li Fenfen and said, "You are Li Juren's granddaughter, right?"

"Yes, it's me." Li Fenfen replied.

Also a little curious.

Curious that Mr. Jiang actually knew her grandfather.

"I met your grandfather when I was young, and I admired him very much." Old Jiang sighed and put down the little glutinous rice in his hand: "So this time, I will do my best to treat your father's injury."

"But don't get your hopes up."

"Because he fell from a cliff as high as Huajiaoya, there is basically no possibility of recovery."

"I know that." Li Fenfen nodded: "I don't miss you, Mr. Jiang..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Tang Haiyun, the leader of the Toad Production Team, who suddenly broke into the backyard and said, "Make way, make way..."

Behind Tang Haiyun were a dozen villagers from the Toad Production Team. Four young men among them were carrying a stretcher on which lay an old man covered in blood and dying.

Liu Qingsong found that the old man looked familiar and couldn't help but take another look at him.

When he saw this, he couldn't help but gasp.

This old man turned out to be Tang Yiqiang, who killed a dozen poachers last night.

"He...what happened to him?" Li Fenfen couldn't help but ask after she realized what was going on.

"I don't know the specific situation." Tan Haiyun replied with red eyes: "Mr. Jiang, I beg you to save him. He is the lucky star of our Toad Production Team."

"Okay, okay!" Jiang Laolian took Tang Yiqiang's pulse.

After a moment, he shook his head with a serious expression: "The bullet hit his heart meridian. Even if a god came, he couldn't be saved. Who are his children? Hurry up and prepare for his funeral!"

"Dad..." A burly middle-aged man knelt in front of the stretcher and cried, and several children behind him also cried and called for his grandpa.

Liu Qingsong felt very uncomfortable watching this scene. He was about to tell Xiao Nuomi not to look at Tang Yiqiang, but Tang Yiqiang suddenly reached out and grabbed his trouser leg with a hoarse voice: "Child, I... I heard that you raised a little tiger. Is it true?"

"Yeah." Liu Qingsong nodded.

After all, Tang Yiqiang was almost dead.

It would be somewhat immoral for him to deny it.

Of course, the most important thing is that this is no secret in the Huaishu production team.

"I... ahem... can I see it?" Tang Yigun looked at Liu Qingsong with a pleading look in his eyes.

"Yes, please wait a minute." Liu Qingsong said, turned around and ran to the backyard to find Little Fat Tiger.

After a moment, he brought the chubby little tiger to Tang Yigun.

"What a fat little tiger!" Tang Yi Gun couldn't help but say this after he reached out his trembling hand and touched the little fat tiger.

"Yes, he is quite fat." Liu Qingsong replied.

"Don't be afraid of being fat, you have to treat it well." Tang Yigun's eyes suddenly burst into tears: "In my life, I live because of tigers, and I die because of tigers. I have no regrets."

"But...but I'm a little unwilling!"

"I cannot bear to see the tigers in Songmu Commune become extinct like this."

At this point, Tang Yigun suddenly grabbed Liu Qingsong's right hand: "Kid... the one who shot and attacked me, he... he is not a hunter, but a little... little Ri..."

Before he could finish his words, Tang Yiqiang's hands dropped weakly, and his eyes, which were full of turbidity and vicissitudes of life, dimmed.

"dad!"

"Grandpa...Grandpa..."

When Tang Yiqiang's son and grandson saw this scene, they couldn't help but burst into tears and knelt down.

Tan Haiyun was afraid that Tang Yiqiang would die in the backyard and be gossiped by the Li family, so after saying something to Jiang Lao and Liu Qingsong, he quickly asked the villagers around him to carry Tang Yiqiang out of the backyard.

Liu Qingsong sent them to the intersection.

After frowning.

I went home carrying the little fat tiger.

Then he walked directly into the Ten Thousand Worlds Garbage Dump, came to the tracking mirror and said to the liquid robot: "Stop everything you are doing immediately, use the tracking mirror and cooperate with the little eagle to help check if there are any strangers entering and leaving the Toad Production Team recently."

"Okay! Okay!" The liquid robot quickly did as it was told.
