The brigade headquarters was very lively.
A tractor was parked there with ten diesel engines on it, which were coordinated from various brigades.
Song Dahai and several reformed elements were moving water pumps and barrels of diesel onto the tractor.
Seeing Jiang Wanyue coming over, Song Dahai immediately said, "You don't have to worry about these things. You have to go to the provincial capital in a few days. Regain your energy first."
"Yes, Sister Jiang." Zhao Xiangbei said, "With me here, nothing will go wrong."
Jiang Wanyue nodded. It was a good opportunity for her to study the pond clearing work in detail.
With Song Dahai in charge and Zhao Xiangbei making the arrangements, they quickly started to dry the pond. Each fish pond was equipped with a diesel engine and a water pump, and one person was left to guard it.
Sun Zongyuan is an agricultural technician who is constantly patrolling the fish ponds. If a diesel engine suddenly stops working, he has to rush forward to solve the problem.
There was a rumbling sound everywhere in the brigade.
Jiang Wanyue was sitting in her office, flipping through a booklet, picking out details and writing them down in her notebook.
There are two methods of pond cleaning in the provincial capital fishery. The first one is slightly more advanced, which is to use bleaching powder to clean the pond. It requires buying a large amount of bleaching powder and the cost is relatively high.
So she chose to use the second method, quicklime pond cleaning, which was relatively affordable.
After the pond is dried up, smaller fish are released into other wild ponds. Then a hole is dug at the bottom of the pond and quicklime is spread. This can kill wild fish, leeches, parasites, pathogens, and other aquatic organisms that absorb nutrients at the bottom of the pond. It can also optimize the water quality, release minerals hidden in the silt, and greatly increase production.
When using this method, you need to let the water sit for at least five days before adding water and releasing the fry.
After recording the key points, she handed the notebook to Lu Chengyuan and asked him to implement the matter in detail.
The diesel pump worked non-stop for two days and two nights. In the early morning of the 26th, Jiang Wanyue started to get busy again.
Dozens of people had been recruited to help pick up the fish, plus the fish farm's own dozen people, with seven or eight people assigned to each fish pond. The picked up fish were put into the water tanks used to buy the fry, moved to the side of the main road, and weighed and recorded one by one by Zhao Xiangbei.
The fish were flapping in the shallow water. The villagers bent over, picked them up one by one and threw them into the backpacks. When the baskets were full, they poured the baskets into the water tank.
As the sky gradually brightened, the sound of a car starting up was heard on the road. It was the truck that had been booked earlier.
There were two trucks in total, parked on the bumpy main road.
Duan Jing came over holding her stomach and took the two drivers to Zhao Xiangbei's house to have breakfast.
They started loading the goods here, weighing and loading at the same time, very efficiently.
"It's more than 9,300 kilograms in total." Zhao Xiangbei looked at the book and said, "Let's load it all over first. If it's not enough, we can make up for it."
Only grass carp were sold this time. There were still at least a thousand kilograms of other miscellaneous fish left in the pond, such as crucian carp, silver carp, flathead carp, and bonito.
Jiang Wanyue looked at Lu Chengyuan and said, "Put the small grass carp in the wild pond first. As for the other 1,000 kilograms of fish, you can ask the brigade to help distribute them to the villagers according to the number of people. This will reduce the amount of money we owe."
The fish in these ponds all belong to the villagers, who borrowed them from the fish farm to sell. They owed the brigade one dollar for each adult and fifty cents for each child. There were more than 1,600 people in the entire brigade, which came to more than 5,000 yuan. If these more than 1,000 kilograms of fish were distributed, it would be worth about 500 to 600 yuan, which is not bad.
Lu Chengyuan nodded: "Don't worry, Deputy Branch Secretary, I will definitely take care of the fish distribution and pond cleaning."
By this time the sky was gradually getting brighter, around six o'clock, and it was time for the truck to set off.
All three people from the fishery will go to the provincial capital this time. Jiang Wanyue will be in charge of overall planning, while Lin Jin will follow to get to know them so that it will be easier to do things in the future. Zhao Xiangbei will pay the bill.
The two female comrades sat in the co-pilot seat, while Zhao Xiangbei and Yu were in the back truck bed.
The truck went straight to the provincial capital in just four hours, and arrived at the gate of the provincial machinery factory at around ten o'clock.
Jiang Wanyue got out of the passenger seat. As soon as she got out of the car, the security guard in the booth came up to her and said, "Early this morning, the director came to say that a large batch of welfare fish was delivered to the factory. It's you, right? Come on, drive in and go this way..."
With the security guard leading the way, the truck slowly drove into the machinery factory, went back, and finally stopped at the door of the logistics department.
The people in the logistics department were already prepared. There was an extra-large scale there. Everyone helped unload the goods and started weighing and recording.
The total weight was 5,500 kilograms. Afraid that it would be difficult for them to divide it, Jiang Wanyue took the initiative to give them an extra 30 kilograms.
After the fish was delivered, the other party's finance department came to pay the total amount of two thousand seven hundred and fifty yuan.
Zhao Xiangbei was very excited: "We finally have money in our account..."
The first few hundred dollars had long been spent, and he had been worried every day, but now he finally felt relieved.
I never feel at ease no matter where I put a large stack of money. I always have to touch it with my hands to feel at ease.
Several people got on the truck and drove for about five minutes before arriving at the machine tool factory next door.
Jiang Wanyue got out of the car first and walked towards the gate: "Hello, young man, we are here to deliver fish. We have made an appointment with your factory to deliver the fish today."
The gatekeeper frowned and said, "I have never heard of such a thing. Wait a minute, I will go in and ask."
He walked in, came out after a while, waved his hand and said, "Our factory has never ordered fish, you have come to the wrong place."
"I discussed this matter with the director of your labor union." Jiang Wanyue said calmly, "Director Li personally ordered 1,300 kilograms of fish and asked us to deliver it on the 26th. This is absolutely true. You can ask Director Li to come out."
"I was just asking Director Li." The guard said impatiently, "Anyway, it's not true, let's go!"
Jiang Wanyue's heart sank.
Because people's hearts are simple and honest these days, most people are honest and do their duty, so she never thought about signing a contract or paying a deposit.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually went back on his word.
It’s not impossible to go back on their word, but they should at least inform them one day in advance, instead of having their fish already delivered and then the other party saying they don’t want it anymore.
"You have two choices now." Jiang Wanyue pulled the corners of her lips apart with a cold smile, "First, go in and call Director Li out. Second, I'll have two trucks block the gate of your factory to attract the attention of your factory director. It should be good to have a talk with your factory director."
The gatekeeper weighed the pros and cons.
If the gate is blocked, the responsibility will be on him as the security guard and he will be fined.
It doesn’t matter what the fish is. This matter has nothing to do with him, so why bother himself with trouble?
So he turned around and went back in.
As she was still not here, Lin Jin and Zhao Xiangbei had sensed something was wrong, so they got out of the car and walked over: "Jiang Jie, what's going on?"
"Something has happened at the machine tool factory." Jiang Wanyue said in a deep voice, "Xiangbei, quickly go to the metallurgical factory next door and ask."
She suddenly had a bad feeling.
