Chapter 023
After returning to the main room and sitting down, Chen Tianhua dipped his chopsticks into some wine and started making gestures on the wooden table.
"I want to breed around the lake. A lake came out of the lake in Guazi Lake. It is a wooden pile and a hemp rope net.
"The water area of Guazi Lake is large, and the water quality is good. It connects the Yangtze River, the Grand Canal, and the lower Tong Taihu. The channel is mainly in the middle area.
"Wow... Tugen is so smart, he can come up with such an idea." Wu Laosan was the first to praise, and the other two nodded in agreement.
This time the three of them finally understood. Tugen wanted to block out a lake in Guazi Lake, put fish, shrimps, crabs and other seedlings in it and raise them around it.
"But a lot of investment is needed to encircle the lake, and a lot of money will be spent. Where will this money come from?"
"Guazi Lake has a large water area and involves several towns and more than a dozen villages. There is a lot of wrangling and stretching here. What should we do?"
"..."
The three big men asked a lot of questions.
But Chen Tianhua seemed to have a plan in mind. He coughed lightly, took a sip of rice wine to moisten his throat, and said in a deep voice:
"You don't have to worry about these, I will think about money and investment, you can just work hard. After three months, we will start preparing. Next year, we will start to cultivate seedlings around the lake."
"During this period, you should follow me to do wild fishing first. In addition to shrimp fishing, we can also fish. In the winter, we can dig ice to fish. In short, we can't let ourselves rest."
"In the water administrative jurisdiction of Guazi Lake, the soldiers will be blocked by the water, but it is the distribution of interests, that is, the problem of money. Now this world can solve it, it is not a problem."
Chen Tianhua had a methodical, and talked with his eyebrows and dancing. He let Wu Lao San and his brother's brother. He heard the Yunshan fog cover and was stunned.
Is this still the original naive Chen Laoqi?
Look at this demeanor... this expression... this momentum... this meticulous train of thought, it's clearly like Zhuge Kongming in the play, giving directions while talking and laughing.
No matter how bad he is, he is still better than those Shaoxing masters.
Even mother Xue Wanzhen, who was busy sewing in the back room, heard Tu Gen's speech. Although she didn't fully understand it, she felt deeply that this silly son really had a future.
"Shaoan, did you hear that? Our son Tugen is promising, so you can rest assured that the family will gradually get better."
She closed her eyes lightly, put her palms together, muttered something, and shed tears.
Chen Tianhua looked at the expressions of the three people in front of him and thought they didn't understand. He smiled and apologized: "Did I say too much or too soon?"
"This does not need to care about the root of the earth. We know that it is raising fish in Guazi Lake. It doesn't matter if you don't understand it. As long as you understand you, everything will be taken by you in the future.
We will not hesitate to throw ourselves into the sea of fire!"
Wu Laosan not only talked, but also solemnly bowed with his fists. Lin Gen and Diaoyan Ahua were naturally not to be outdone, and bowed with their fists.
"As the old saying goes, age does not determine ambition. Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from youth. We don't know any rules. Anyway, we will regard you as our boss and the young master of the family."
Lin Gen had heard a lot of operas, such as those about Qin Qiong selling horses in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Taoyuan sworn alliance between Liu Guan and Zhang in the Three Kingdoms, etc. He liked them very much, so he spoke more straightforwardly.
"Okay, we brothers also mean the same thing. From now on, Tugen, you will be our young master." Diaoyan Ahua and Wu Laosan also expressed their opinions.
Seeing that everyone had expressed their stance like this, Chen Tianhua was secretly happy that the matter of organizing people was finally settled.
He stood up, personally filled everyone's bowls with wine, then picked up the wine in the bowls, looked around the three of them and said with bright eyes:
"Thanks to the love of my three brothers, we are willing to join hands to join the world. Tugen swears here: From now on, as long as I have something in Tugen's bowl, I will never let everyone go hungry. We will not engage in any Taoyuan sworn friendship, so we will drink this bowl of wine to express it."
Determined to do it!”
"Dry…"
The four of them stood together and drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.
Wiping his mouth with his sleeve, Chen Tianhua motioned for everyone to sit down first, and then ordered:
"It is not enough to rely on the four of us to do things together. You are responsible for absorbing some young people with poor family members, morals, understanding of morality, and various traits.
Development in the house.”
"Okay... let's listen to the young master."
"..."
…
After drinking that day, the four of them were carrying out the agreed plan.
Wu Laosan and the others had some manpower in Wuji, and at the same time they also did more work at home so that they could be free to work with Tugen.
Chen Tianhua is also trying his best to save money here.
The fences, wooden piles, fish fry, etc. required for lake farming require a lot of money, as well as labor and ship tools.
The payback period for these investments is generally more than two years, which means that it will take two years before the results begin.
For the first time, it takes a few hundred pieces of the ocean to be enough. There are a few wooden boats for breeding. These cannot currently have investors. If you are unfamiliar with your life, you can only slowly accumulate by yourself.
In a blink of an eye, time has arrived on the second day of October in the lunar calendar.
The next day will be the beginning of winter. The temperature in these days is not high. It is estimated that it will be around 12 or 3 degrees at noon, and the lake water will be even colder.
As usual, Chen Tianhua set off on the boat at noon.
He plans to continue going to the lake a few more times, and will no longer go to the lake to touch river mussels. When winter comes, he will only be able to fish for shrimps, and then expand to fishing.
Today, he specially prepared a jar of strong liquor, which the locals call Shaojiu - Lao Shaoguo, which is used to activate blood circulation and warm up before and after going to the lake.
This method of using strong alcohol to activate blood circulation and warm up the body is used by many fishermen nowadays. In Chen Tianhua's previous life, he went into the water in the cold winter and worked repeatedly.
In addition to strong liquor, he also prepared two meat buns, which he bought specially in the town, because diving in winter consumes a lot of calories.
Today, he chose to operate a piece of waters next to the main channel of Guazi Lake. Here the river is deep, and the river bed is more loose in mud, which is very suitable for the big river mussels to grow here.
As expected, at noon, snails and river mussels will emerge from the gaps in the deeply buried loose soil or stones to see the sunlight.
He rushed to the cornice of the boat and used a flat net to sweep snails along the stone surface of the lake shore. In less than an hour, he swept a total of seventy or eighty kilograms of green-shelled snails.
Then he took off his clothes and pants, leaving only a pair of shorts tied tightly with a belt, and prepared to go into the lake to touch river clams.
He picked up the wine jar and moved it to his mouth, "Gudong, Gudong..." and poured the old pot into his mouth.
I just felt a straight line running from my throat to my stomach, and it was burning and hot.
He moved a few times on the narrow deck of the boat, feeling his whole body getting hot, and plunged into the lake one by one.
He held his breath and dived, with his head facing down at a ninety-degree angle, kicking his legs fiercely, and paddling backwards with both arms, and his body plunged straight into the bottom of the lake like a sharp arrow.
