Text 0003. Raising crabs

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Speaking of Shilong Chong, it can be regarded as a scene in Shihe Village.  The stream that passes through the entire village flows down from the stream in Shilongchong.  Although the water stream is only half an acre in size, the water flows continuously all year round. It should be an outlet of underground water. The water quality is sweet and clear, no worse than the bottled mineral water on TV.

    Around the water stream, there are a few scattered paddy fields, which can be added together to less than two acres of land.  In addition, it was far away from the village, and the few families assigned to the fields there did not take care of them very carefully.

    Theoretically speaking, it makes sense for the village to come forward and rent these fields from each household and hand them over to Ning Qinghua for management. After all, he is a native of this town.

    The reason why the village chief He Youtian was a little hesitant was because Shilong Chong had another meaning for the people of Shihe Village.

    You must know that Shihe Village is located deep in the mountains. Without the water of Shilongchong, this natural village may not be formed. Therefore, from ancient times to the present, Shilongchong has been regarded as a geomantic treasure of the village by the people of Shihe Village.  Good luck to the whole village.

    ¡°If another person from the same village were to contract Shilongchong, He Youtian would be able to make an immediate decision, but if it were Ning Qinghua, He Youtian would be disappointed.

    No one knows what this young man wants to do in Shilongchong. If the villagers think that he has ruined Feng Shui, it will be difficult for him to have a job in the village in the future. The village chief will probably be done with it.

    "Tsinghua, do you want to contract Shilongchong?"

    Ning Haihua was also surprised at this moment. He didn't understand what kind of medicine his brother was selling in the gourd. However, this Shilong Chong was related to the feng shui of the entire village, but Ning Haihua was afraid that his brother would not understand the power of it and cause something out of control.  Things come up.

    Seeing the expressions of the two people, Ning Qinghua couldn't help but laugh and explained: "Listen to what I have to say. I am contracting Shilongchong. I will do nothing else but plant some rice and raise some crabs in the fields."

    "That's it? Nothing else?"

    Faced with such a simple answer, He Youtian didn't understand it at all.  The second eldest son of the Ning family in front of me actually went home to plant rice instead of working as a civil servant.

    "Tsinghua, you want to raise crabs?"

    I always thought that my brother would engage in some special breeding when he returned home, but I didn¡¯t expect that he would have an idea for crabs.

    "Yes, crabs have relatively high requirements for water quality. The water quality in Shilongchong is good, so there should be no problem!" Ning Qinghua nodded affirmatively.

    Speaking of crabs, they are also a good thing, but the local wild crabs are too small and cannot be sold at a high price.  Moreover, crabs are always fresh to eat. The transportation in Shihe Village is not convenient. Just a trip to the county town requires nearly 80 miles of winding mountain roads, and the roads are rugged. Drivers who are not familiar with the road conditions can drive for an entire afternoon.  But it takes a lot of money to keep it fresh, and local wild crabs are not worth it.

    "What kind?" He Youtian naturally believed that Ning Qinghua could not possibly be interested in local wild crabs, so he decided that the other party must be introducing some new species.

    Ning Qinghua didn¡¯t want to explain more. He just smiled and said, ¡°Whether it is a new variety or not, Uncle He will be able to see it when he arrives.¡±

    "If this is really the case, then there is no problem in this matter. It will be left to Uncle He, and the village will come forward to talk to that family!"

    When He Youtian heard that Ning Qinghua only planted rice and raised crabs, He Youtian patted his chest and agreed to the matter.

    After seeing off the village chief He Youtian, Ning Haihua pulled his younger brother aside and said: "There are no outsiders now. If you tell me the truth, contracting Shilongchong is really raising crabs?"

    Ning Qinghua looked helpless towards his elder brother, and went straight to his room and walked around. When he came out, he handed a brand new wad of hundred-yuan bills into Ning Haihua's hands and said, "Brother, just trust me once.  I will go to Guyuan Town tomorrow to contact Crab Seed. I will probably stay out for a few days. The price here is 10,000 yuan. If Uncle He can negotiate it, the rent of the field will be paid here.  "

    Seeing the bunch of serialized hundred-yuan bills in his hand, Ning Haihua knew that his brother was telling the truth, so he didn't do too much to dissuade him.  In Shihe Village, growing crops on an acre of land, excluding the cost of fertilizers, seeds, and pesticides, can produce a profit of about 2,000 yuan a year at most. This is considered good paddy field.  There is only a little over two acres of land in Shilongchong, and it is so remote that most of it is deserted.  It is estimated that the annual rent of 1,344 yuan is enough to reach the sky.  A full ten thousand yuan is too much.

    Although Ning Qinghua was raised by his elder brother since he was a child, after Ning Haihua started working after graduation, he thought that his younger brother had separated and he had no reason to take advantage of him.

    ¡°You can¡¯t spend that much money renting land!¡±

    Looking at his honest and kind elder brother, Ning Qinghua's heart was filled with the warmth of family affection.

    "Brother, Shilong is rushing away from the village.There are four or five miles of mountain road. If I raise crabs, I can't go down the mountain to go home every day. With the extra money, I will choose a place in Shilongchong, build a small tile-roofed house, and also run a wire there.  "

    It seems that this younger brother has made up his mind to live in Shilongchong.

    "My family built a house in the past two years, and we still have a lot of bricks and cement left over. It's just right to build a small tile-roofed house. Since you want to live in Shilongchong for a long time, then you can put some money into it and build a two-room bungalow.  I can still live in a small yard."

    Seeing his eldest brother who was always thinking about his own plans, Ning Qinghua grabbed his shoulders and said emotionally: "Brother, don't worry, my brother will definitely make everyone in the family live a good life!"

    Seeing his younger brother's reddish eyes, Ning Haihua twitched his lips and said with a very honest smile: "What are you talking about? If you are really going to be successful, then quickly find a wife for the old Ning family to have a baby."  .¡±

    Ning Qinghua didn¡¯t answer these words. He just scratched his hair, turned around and walked into the hall, leaving Ning Haihua alone in the yard.

    "You are so selfish. Tsinghua University is a great college student, and you still can't find a wife!" Sister-in-law Ning, who was feeding chickens in the yard, couldn't help laughing.

    Hearing his wife's words, Ning Haihua nodded, but after careful consideration, he walked behind his wife and said: "Logically speaking, given our conditions at Tsinghua University, we can't help but choose the girls from the ten villages and eight stores. But.  I¡¯m afraid that Tsinghua University has high standards and it¡¯s hard to find the right one!¡±

    "That's true. Ordinary girls are really not worthy of our Tsinghua University. Moreover, now that Tsinghua University has resigned from the county's agricultural officer, he is living in Shilongchong. Even if everything goes well, he can make money. But who can make money now?  If my girl is not rushing to the city, we are really out of reach in this poor mountain valley!"

    At this point, Ning Haihua¡¯s wife He Juan couldn¡¯t help but stop what she was doing, with a sad look on her face.
