Perfect pastoral life

Chapter 95 Apologize
Two engineering teams are working at the same time, and the road reconstruction project will take about a week to complete.

The road is impassable, and within this week, there should be no customers visiting Chen Mu's Fisherman's Restaurant.

Last time I caught a lot of fish in the Qingshui River, and there was still plenty of fish in the fish pond, but there were very few rice field eels and loaches left.Taking advantage of the fact that there are no guests these days, Chen Mu wants to go to the fields to catch more eels and loaches in case of emergencies.

As mentioned earlier, eels and loaches are naturally raised, and anyone can catch them in rice fields.The problem is how to capture enough stock in a short period of time.Chen Mu only has one hand, so he can't be allowed to stay in the paddy field all day touching eels.

I remember that the most fun thing in my childhood was going fishing by the river with my friends, or catching eels in the paddy fields. For Chen Mu, that kind of childhood was carefree, full of joy and vitality.

At that time, rice field eels and loaches were particularly rampant and had no economic value. Apart from using them for cooking, most of the rice field eels they caught were chopped up and used to feed their own chickens and ducks.The chickens and ducks that have eaten rice field eel and loach are particularly good, fat and fat, and the meat is very delicious.

It's a pity that even now, although there are still children in the village who go to the paddy fields to catch loach, it's just that it's not as frequent as it was in Chen Mu's time.

The main reason is that eels and loaches are gradually decreasing, and there is nothing to catch. Another thing is that the entertainment methods of children in the village have become diversified, and not many children are interested in catching loaches anymore.

Thinking of this, Chen Mu came up with a good idea. He could buy the rice field eel and loach from the villagers at a low price, and just raise the purchased rice field eel and loach.

Well, this is indeed a good way.

After making up his mind, Chen Mu released the news to the people in the village. Of course, the children in the village responded the most.They heard that someone in the village bought rice eel and loach. After school, many elementary school students ran to the paddy field, caught rice eel and loach, and sold it to Chen Mu at the restaurant at the entrance of the village.

Chen Mu bought rice field eels and loach at market prices. Rice field eels were 25 yuan per catty, while loach was less at 15 yuan per catty.This price is enough to attract the children in the village. They only need to go to the paddy fields, and they can more or less catch some good goods, and they can earn some pocket money by selling them casually.

This kind of good thing, the children are very active.

After a few days, Chen Mu has bought a lot of rice field eels and loach from the children, and he has gained a lot.

But along with it, some problems arose.The children only care about catching loaches, they don't care whether the seedlings in the rice fields will be damaged or not.

On this day, some villagers came to report to Chen Mu, saying that when the children were catching loaches in the paddy fields, many of them trampled the rice in the paddy fields.Some rice fields were arched badly, and many seedlings were uprooted, or they were trampled in the soil, causing a lot of damage to the rice.

Chen Mu also blamed himself for such a problem, and he had to bear the main responsibility for such a result.

With this lesson in mind, Chen Mu no longer bought eels from the children in the village. Not only that, he also made a special trip to visit the villagers whose rice was damaged, and apologized at the door, and compensated the villagers with a lot of compensation.

Chen Mu's behavior of going to the door to apologize, suddenly, the villagers' favor towards Chen Mu was greatly improved, and everyone was very convinced of him, thinking that this child is a very responsible person.

To be honest, before this, some villagers were jealous of Chen Mu.

This is the case in the countryside. To some extent, the villagers' thinking is extremely narrow.They are all from the same village, so how could he, Chen Mu, be able to open a fisherman's restaurant and sell the dishes so expensively.He earned all the money by himself, the villagers will inevitably be jealous, and there are many gossips in private.

Chen Mu really didn't want to make the relationship too stiff with the villagers, but he didn't have a chance to communicate with them. Now he took advantage of the acquisition of rice field eels to take the initiative to visit the villagers' homes to show his attitude. He just wanted to use this to talk to the villagers. Good relationship.

The effect was obvious. Judging from what the villagers said about him after the visit, they were very obedient to Chen Mu, and agreed that he was a man capable of great things.

It was also through this incident that Chen Mu's prestige in Longdong Village reached an unprecedented height, and no one in the village was unconvinced.

Next, Chen Mu will no longer take the path of acquiring rice field eels and loach.He plans to contact the breeding base with a batch of eel seedlings and loach seedlings on the Internet, and raise rice eel and loach by himself, and he also wants to breed them purely in the wild.

Rice field eels and loaches are most suitable for growing in rice fields, and he can raise the fry he bought in his own paddy fields.

Chen Mu plans that in the future his family's paddy fields will not be used to grow rice, and all of them will be used to breed loach and eels. As long as the little golden dragon is often allowed to slip around in the paddy fields for a few laps during the breeding period, it will be fine. Get fat and fat.

Well, in this way, the supply of goods in the restaurant must be sufficient.

Farmed eels and loaches can not only supply their own restaurants, but also sell fresh products.

Think about it, when diners come to the restaurant to consume, after they know the special benefits of rice field eel and loach, they will definitely rush to buy fresh products and take them home to cook by themselves. When that time comes, they will definitely bring Chen Mu a huge fortune.

Chen Mu deliberately went to discuss with his uncle about breeding rice field eels and loaches. After all, the fields are still in Chen Datian's hands now, and the rice fields will be taken back next year.

He told Chen Datian his idea that he planned to use a paddy field to try breeding this year, and if he succeeded, he could scale up large-scale breeding next year.

Now there are seedlings planted in the paddy fields. If a large number of eel seedlings are put into the paddy fields, they will destroy the paddy field environment and affect the growth of rice.But even so, Chen Datian still agreed, willing to use the old paddy field that has not been fertilized as this year's breeding base.

Chen Datian trusts his nephew very much, even if he loses the seedlings of the old paddy field, it doesn't matter.

With his uncle's permission, Chen Mu immediately contacted the breeding base of eel fry on the Internet, and finally ordered [-] rice field eels and [-] loaches as the first batch of breeding fish fry.

On the other hand, the road reconstruction project has come to an end, the cement road surface has been widened and thickened again, and the mud laying work has been completed, and the road surface can be passed after it hardens.

Taking advantage of the lack of guests these few days, Chen Mu went to Qingshui River to catch a lot of fish, and even dived into the bottom of the water to catch a lot of crabs, all of which were raised in the fish pond in his backyard.

The fish ponds in the fish pond were already crowded, so Chen Mu had to ask someone to dig another fish pond in the backyard.Dig out a two-meter-deep, fifty-square-meter, boxy earth pit, and then brush the inner wall of the fish pond with cement slurry to prevent water leakage, and set up fences around the fish pond to prevent people from falling into it.

In just a few days, the fish pond has been built.After filling the new fish pond with water, Chen Mu diverted part of the fish catch from the old fish pond to the new fish pond, and the problem of fish crowding was finally solved.

Next, he will really focus on the restaurant business.
