Chapter 82: Scrap Station



On the ground against the wall, various kinds of paper waste were piled.

Although these books look old and some are even moldy, they are all in good condition when opened.

Jiang Wanyue began to select carefully. She picked out some literary books that the children could understand, and a small number of popular science books. She also picked out some comic books and picture books, and all that caught her eye... She kept selecting and selecting, and the snakeskin bag at hand was full, and she didn't stop until it could no longer hold any more.

When she stood up, she glanced at other areas and saw a lot of good things, such as vases from the Ming Dynasty, pear blossom furniture, calligraphy and paintings, etc. Unfortunately, she didn't have any extra money, and she couldn't take them back even if she bought them, so she had to give up.

A snakeskin bag of books was placed on the scale. It weighed 83 pounds and cost $4.15.

Jiang Wanyue felt that she had made a fortune.

It was just too heavy, she couldn't carry it at all, so she could only drag the snakeskin bag along.

I dragged it onto the bus and took it directly to the provincial capital's fishing ground.

After the seven fish ponds in the Xiaojing Brigade Fishery were dried up, only the 6,000 large fish fry that were purchased at the beginning were left. The total area of the fish ponds is 41 acres. According to the economic benefits, if mixed breeding is used, one acre of land can raise about 300 grass carp. If only grass carp is raised, about 500 can be raised.

Fish fry can be marketed when they weigh more than three kilograms. Based on an average of four kilograms, one acre of land can produce about two thousand kilograms.

Previously, the brigade adopted an extensive breeding model, raising various wild fish together. There was not enough fish food, so the fish were hungry one moment and full the next. Various parasites in the fish ponds caused diseases, and the yield per mu was only two to three hundred kilograms throughout the year.

This gap is really too big.

Of course, if you want to increase the yield per mu, the cost will be high and you have to spend money on all aspects.

Jiang Wanyue had bought fish fry once last time, so this time she was familiar with the process and purchased 14,000 fish fry. In order to ensure a year-round output, she ordered 6,000 large fish, 4,000 medium and small fish each, spending 153 yuan. Together with the water tank and other expenses, the total cost was nearly 200 yuan.

While catching fish fry at the fish farm, she hurried to find a car.

More than 10,000 fish fry, plus water, weigh six tons. The fare from the provincial capital to Xiaojing Brigade is 180 kilometers, and the fare is 162 yuan.

The transportation fare is more expensive than buying fish fry, which is why even when she was so poor, Jiang Wanyue still insisted on buying a fish fry incubator first.

After loading was completed, we finally set off.

Jiang Wanyue didn't sleep well last night. She wanted to lean back in her seat and take a nap, but when she thought of what happened last night, she didn't dare to close her eyes. After all, there was a male driver sitting in the driver's seat.

She had no choice but to look forward with her eyes wide open.

Fortunately, the driver was an honest man. He just asked a few questions about Lianhu County and then said nothing more. The car drove smoothly all the way to the territory of Hongqi Commune.

The road to the brigade was very difficult to drive on. It had rained heavily last night and the ground was bumpy and uneven. The truck actually got stuck in the mud.

The driver kept stepping on the accelerator but was unable to drive the truck out.

Jiang Wanyue was really overwhelmed. She said, "I'll go find someone to help push the cart."

This is the Liberation Brigade next to the Xiaojing Brigade. To go to the commune from the Xiaojing Brigade, you have to pass through this brigade.

The two brigades had fought many times in the past over land and water resources.

Jiang Wanyue was originally planning to go back to her team to look for someone. It was only a ten-minute walk, but unexpectedly, as soon as she got off the bus, some enthusiastic people came to help her.

While helping to push the cart, he also asked what we were doing.

When they heard Jiang Wanyue say that she was the person in charge of the Xiaojing Brigade Fishery, they all showed sympathetic eyes.

"I heard that the fish you took to the provincial capital to sell were not wanted, so you brought them back?"

"We have thousands of kilograms of fish and we have no choice but to distribute them to the villagers. I wonder if your fishery can still operate?"

"They bought a truckload of fish fry. I guess they will continue to do it."

"What should I do if I lose money again?"

Jiang Wanyue showed an awkward but polite smile: "No matter how much the loss is, there is still fish in hand, so it doesn't matter."

With everyone's concerted efforts, the truck was finally pushed out of the mud pit. Jiang Wanyue thanked everyone and got back in the car.

The driver was much more careful when driving again. He slowly moved to Xiaojing Brigade and stopped beside the fish pond on the side of the road.

The fish pond has dried up and has been sprinkled with quicklime. It is now standing still and is not suitable for stocking fish. For the time being, the fish fry will be raised in a small wild pond nearby.

There happened to be someone by the fish pond, it was Mr. Li. When he saw the truck coming, he went to call for help. All the staff of the fish farm came over, and some enthusiastic villagers also came forward to help unload the goods.

With strength in numbers, all the fish fry were moved down in less than half an hour when Zhao Xiangbei paid the driver.

A group of villagers gathered around and started talking.

"Song Si Niang, what are you going to do with those thousands of fish?"

"Yes, yes, it's heartbreaking to see such good fish unable to sell."

"Isn't it that they are going to share it with us? Let me be clear, this fish has been dragged twice on the road and is dead. I don't think it is fresh, so I don't want it."

"You old woman, you are being particular now!"

Jiang Wanyue washed the fishy smell off her hands, looked at everyone and said, "No matter whether the fish in the fishery can be sold or not, I will definitely pay back the debt to everyone. The agreement states that it must be paid off before June next year. Each adult will get one dollar, and each child will get fifty cents. I've kept this account in mind, so don't worry."

After she said this, everyone's expressions finally eased.

Jiang Wanyue and ten people from the cowshed began to release the fish fry. The fish were too small, so they had to throw them in slowly. They were so busy that it was dark.
