Chapter 139: Fish Farming in Rice Fields
These days, General Qin has already dealt with the matters in the back mountain, and the follow-up matters will only need to be presented to the emperor in a few days.
In the following days, General Qin, Madam Qin, my aunt, and Mr. and Mrs. Chu wandered around the village, visited their homes, and adapted well to the village.
When Chu Lao Er was separated, his family was given an acre of good land where they planted rice. The whole family wanted to go and see the rice field.
Chu Qinghe knew that the growth of rice fields here depended entirely on the weather, so he thought of an agricultural model that is more common in modern times - raising fish in rice fields.
The innovative method of combining rice cultivation with fish farming not only produces a good rice harvest, but also fat fish.
She said to her grandparents, her aunt, her parents:
"Grandpa, grandma, aunt, and mom and dad, let's go to the rice fields today and put some fish in them. When the rice is harvested, we can eat delicious fish."
General Qin asked curiously, "He'er, can you raise fish in rice fields? How can that be possible?"
Baili Ye and others did not answer and looked at her.
Madam Qin also said, "Yes, I have never heard of such a practice before."
Chu Qinghe looked at everyone's puzzled eyes and said with a smile:
“After we plant rice in our rice fields, we do nothing but weed, which is not good for the high yield of the rice fields.
I read in a book that rice needs loose soil and nutrients to grow.
Put the fish in the rice fields, which provide a natural growth environment for the fish.
In the clear paddy fields, the roots of rice spread through the soil, creating a place for fish to live and feed.
Fish swim in the rice fields, and their activities promote water circulation in the paddy fields, increase the oxygen content in the water, and enable the rice roots to better absorb nutrients.
Moreover, fish can eat pests, weeds and plankton in rice fields, which can effectively control the number of pests.
However, their feces can be used as natural fertilizer for rice, providing additional nutrients for rice growth and improving rice yield and quality.
So, I plan to go to the river to catch some small fish fry, put them in the rice fields, and then collect all the fish when the rice is ripe. This way, the rice will have a good harvest and the fish will grow fat. "
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. It was the first time they had heard of such an approach, but they knew Qinghe's contribution in planting and thought that what she said should be feasible.
Aunt Xiang said:
"Since Xiao He said so, it will definitely work. Tomorrow, you, Xiao He and King Chen will go to the river to catch fish. Let's go to the rice fields and put the fish in."
Old Madam Qin also echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, grandma should go and have a look too."
When Qin Minglang heard that they were going to catch fish, he thought of the spicy fish he had eaten a few days ago, and his saliva began to flow unconsciously.
He looked at Chu Qinghe with a greedy look on his face and said, "Sister, let's catch some big fish today. Can we cook some fish?"
Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "No problem, we can have as much as you want, but we still have to catch some earthworms for bait."
So, Chu Qinghe, Baili Ye and Qin Minglang dug some earthworms in the field, carried a bamboo basket and carried two wooden buckets to the Xiaoqing River together.
Along the way, we met the village head and his group. They were going to reclaim some wasteland and plant more new crops.
When they saw Chu Qinghe and the other two, they were no longer reserved as they had been before when they saw King Chen. They asked them openly what they were going to do.
Chu Qinghe told everyone about releasing fish into the rice fields, and everyone now had full trust in Qinghe.
Whatever she did, everyone thought it was right.
As long as you put fish in the rice fields, you can not only get a good harvest of rice fields, but also harvest fat fish. Who wouldn’t want that!
So everyone was eager to give it a try and wanted to try releasing fish into their own rice fields.
They all followed the three men to the river to see if they could catch any small fish.
Chu Qinghe, Baili Ye and Qin Minglang put their things by the river. Baili Ye took the bamboo basket, and Chu Qinghe put the earthworms they dug into the basket and also poured in some spiritual spring water.
After Baili Ye took down the bamboo basket, it didn't take long before groups of big and small fish rushed into the basket.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene. There were really small fish and a lot of big fish as well. The fish looked excited, as if they had not eaten for a long time.
Everyone was extremely excited, but they were afraid of scaring the fish by talking, so they danced and gestured on the side.
Chu Qinghe looked at the increasing number of fish in the bamboo basket and smiled with joy.
Baili Ye carefully lifted the bamboo basket out of the water, and looking at the lively fish inside, his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Qin Minglang on the side was even more excited. He had no idea that he had frightened the fish. He couldn't help but cheer:
"Wow, so many fish! We have a great harvest today!"
Baili Ye also had a smile on his face. He looked at Chu Qinghe with joy in his eyes: "Xiaohe, your method really works."
Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "Brother, put the fish into the barrel quickly."
Qin Minglang hurried forward and together with Baili Ye poured the fish from the bamboo basket into the wooden barrel.
Soon, both barrels were filled with fish.
Chu Qinghe looked at the two full buckets of fish and thought that these fish were enough to put in the rice fields, and there would still be some left over to take home and eat.
At this time, the village head came over and said to Chu Qinghe with a smile:
"Qinghe, your idea is really great.
We are also planning to try to release fish in our own rice fields. Is it enough to use earthworms as bait to catch fish? "
Chu Qinghe nodded and said:
"Grandpa Lizheng, just use earthworms. This method of raising fish in rice fields is indeed a good one, but there are also some things you need to pay attention to, such as controlling the number of fish and changing the water in the rice fields regularly."
The head of the village nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, we will definitely pay attention. We will go to the fields with you to take a look and learn from you later."
Chu Qinghe said to the head of the village and other villagers:
“I still have some bait here. If you want fish, you can go home and get a bucket. One bucket like mine is enough for one acre of land.
We are fishing here, you go back and get the buckets!"
When everyone heard Chu Qinghe say this, they expressed their gratitude and immediately went home to get a bucket.
By the time everyone returned to the buckets, Baili Ye's fish had already filled the bamboo basket.
Everyone came forward to help pour the small fish into the buckets they brought. After half an hour, all the buckets were full.
Finally, Chu Qinghe took the backpack, Baili Ye and Qin Minglang carried the wooden barrels full of fish, and they walked towards the rice fields with everyone.
Along the way, everyone was excitedly discussing raising fish in rice fields, hoping that the fish in the rice fields would have a good harvest in the future.
When they arrived at the rice field, General Qin and others were waiting there. They were very excited looking at so many fish.
Chu Qinghe and his team first released some of the fish into the rice fields. Watching the fish swimming happily in the rice fields, everyone's hearts were filled with hope.
