Chapter 417 The fish pond is dug
Qiao Ran, who had just returned, heard that one of her fish ponds had been dug and couldn't wait to see it.
After the guards and servants of the General's Mansion moved all the gifts on the carriage to the tent, Qiao Ran brought a pot of warm water, secretly mixed some spiritual spring water, brought several large bowls, and let them drink the water. Walk.
The guards and servants were grateful to Miss Cousin for her concern for them, and after thanking her, they took the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
When the warm water entered their throats, they felt warm all over their bodies and warmed their hearts.
Moreover, my whole body felt particularly energetic, and it seemed that my hearing and vision suddenly became clearer. Some of the guards' hidden injuries felt much better, and their bodies felt relaxed.
But, what's going on with the sudden gush of sticky dirt on your body? Moreover, there was an unpleasant sour smell coming from his body.
These guards and servants felt that they had made a fool of themselves in front of their cousin, so they hurriedly said goodbye and left.
Qiao Ranxiao looked at their hurried backs, shook her head, and went into the tent to talk to her grandma and mother. Regardless of the fact that it was almost lunch time, she wanted to go to the Devil's Valley to have a look.
When the villagers who were building the road saw her, they all greeted her warmly:
"Ran Ran, you came back from the city so soon? Why don't you stay at the General's Mansion for a little longer?"
"Yes, we are responsible for these things in the village. It's okay for you to stay at your grandma's house for a few more days. When you come back later, you can see the completely repaired roads and dug ponds!"
When the villagers found out that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qiao family was actually the granddaughter and niece of General Zheng and General Zheng, who had made great achievements in the war in Vietnam and were deeply feared by several surrounding countries, they also felt the same as the old village chief.
What kind of fate is this?
After more than thirty years of separation, Mimizhong's fate arranged for Huiniang to follow the villagers and flee to the distant capital, and then reunite with her family thousands of miles away from home.
No, it's not just fate, it's also Qiao Ran's credit.
If Qiao Ran hadn't decided to come to the capital, none of them would have thought of coming here and would have stopped at any state capital on the way.
Therefore, it was all because of Qiao Ran that her mother was able to get together with her family.
And they, the people of Qingshui Village, came to the outskirts of the capital because of Qiao Ran.
It was also Qiao Ran's choice that allowed them to own this large area of the valley for them to open up wasteland and build their homes.
It’s all because of Qiao Ran that this blessing has been brought to everyone!
The road is almost repaired, beautiful houses with blue bricks and tiles are being built, sweet potatoes, potatoes and other whole grains, vegetables and fruits have been planted, and the first season rice seedlings are also growing green and ready to be planted in the paddy fields.
A better life that they had never imagined before is already beckoning to them.
When the people in the village thought that their life would be many times better than before in their hometown, they couldn't help but express their deep gratitude to the Qiao family, and even more to Qiao Ran.
People in Qingshui Village stopped what they were doing and greeted Qiao Ran warmly and naturally, while the guards and servants sent by the General's Palace and Dingbei Palace looked at Qiao Ran respectfully.
They all knew that they were sent to this mountainous area to help build roads and houses because of this girl.
The guards and servants of the Dingbei Palace knew that this girl Qiao was their master's savior. The guards and servants of the General's Palace knew that this was their cousin, so naturally they were respectful from the bottom of their hearts.
It's just that they knew that their status was low, so they didn't dare to go up to say hello. They just stood there and respectfully watched her leave.
Qiao Ran responded to everyone while rushing towards Devil's Valley.
The rainy season is coming soon, and the fish pond must be dug quickly. She is looking forward to raising a pond of blue water fish in the fish pond, and then a pond of ordinary fish such as shrimps, crabs, turtles, and turtles, so that she can eat whatever fish she wants. Fish, so convenient.
When Qiao Ran came to Devil's Valley, she had just approached the fish pond. The sharp-eyed Qiao Erhe had already seen her and waved to her excitedly:
"Ran Ran, are you back? Come and see, does the fish pond you want look like this? We have already dug one, and this one here will be dug soon, and it will be able to store water in a few days. Raising fish.”
Qiao Ran took a closer look and saw two adjacent ponds. One had been dug into a large pond two feet wide, three feet long and eight feet high according to her design. The other was almost half dug. She was watching It will be dug soon.
"Wow, second uncle, you are so fast! You dug it so quickly, you dug it really well!"
The dug pond was surrounded by a seven-foot-wide embankment built with excavated yellow mud. Qiao Ran planned to plant some mulberry trees on the shore. The mulberry leaves could be used to raise silkworms to spin silk for clothes, and the mulberries could be eaten. The mulberry leaves and roots The bark can also be used as medicinal materials, and it can be said that the entire tree is a treasure.
There is a flat land between the other two ponds. Qiao Ran plans to build a small wooden house, surround it with a fence, and raise ducks and geese in one of the ponds.
This is the modern popular ecological cycle model of mulberry fish ponds.
Plant mulberry trees next to the fish pond, raise ducks and geese, and use pond mud and duck and goose excrement as fertilizer for the mulberry trees to make the mulberry trees grow happily.
Then mulberry leaves are collected to raise silkworms, and silkworm excrement and silkworm pupae can be used as fish feed. Small fish and shrimps can be used to raise ducks and geese. The feces of ducks, geese, and fish sink to the bottom of the pond, making the pond mud more fertile.
Fertile pond mud can help mulberry trees grow better and silkworms be raised better.
In this way, mutual utilization and mutual circulation can achieve the effect of multiple uses in one pond and multiple harvests in one pond.
And the benefits of such a model are considerable.
The meat and eggs of ducks and geese can be eaten, the feathers can be sold to some workshops, and the down can be made into down jackets and quilts.
The raised silkworms can spin silk, the cocoons can be sold, or you can reel and spin the silk to make clothes. The silkworm chrysalis can be eaten, used as medicine, or fed to fish and ducks and geese. The silkworm excrement can also be used as medicine or fed to fish.
Mulberries can be eaten, used as medicine, and can also be used to make fruit wine. Mulberry leaves can be dried and used as medicinal materials, and the fresh mulberry leaves can also be eaten, made into mulberry leaf cakes or boiled into soup, which can moisten the lungs and relieve coughs, clear the liver and improve eyesight, lower blood lipids and blood pressure, clear away heat and detoxify, etc.
The fish, shrimps, crabs, turtles, etc. raised in the fish ponds can be eaten by yourself or sold in the city.
Calculated in this way, such a pond, if used properly, can also produce very good profits.
There are mulberry trees next to the fish pond in Qiao Ran's space. When the time comes, they can be transplanted or just cut some branches.
By the way, there are water chestnuts and lotus roots in the fish pond in the space! You can also get some and plant them in the fish pond.
Judging from the reaction of the Qiao family when Qiao Ran took out water chestnuts on the road last time, no one in Qingshui Village has ever seen water chestnuts, and they don't know if there are such things around the capital.
While looking at the fish pond that had been dug, Qiao Ran was thinking about how to make the best use of the fish pond. The more she thought about it, the more excited she became.
The people of Qingshui Village, who have only known how to cultivate fields and feed their families all their lives, can't think of any way to improve their lives.
If you see the mulberry fish pond you made by then, maybe many people will be moved, and there will definitely be many people who want to raise fish ponds.
