Chapter 309: Fish Farming in Rice Fields
In the evening, she pulled Xiao Zhen aside to talk about this matter. Xiao Zhen thought for a moment, "Why don't I go ask Ran'er if he has any problems in that aspect. You know, he refused to touch the concubine that was prepared for him before. Xiaomi must be too embarrassed to tell others about these things, so I'll go ask our son first."
"Could it be that Xiaomi is difficult to give birth?"
Sun really felt that she couldn't communicate with the Marquis. Whenever she mentioned this, he would say that there was something wrong with her son. It was really pitiful for the son to have such a father.
"I'm telling you, stay out of their business. Also, don't talk about your grandson in front of your wife."
"Why? Don't you want to have a grandchild?"
"Think about it, she's still so young, and her parents are far away. Wouldn't it be adding to her stress if you told her all this? Don't you know what the ladies and doctors in the palace said? Worrying too much will make it harder to get pregnant."
Xiao Zhen didn't want the two women in his family to get so anxious about a child that only he and his son would suffer.
"You mean..."
"Let nature take its course. Let's not worry about anything. Give them another year. If Xiaomi still hasn't gotten pregnant after a year, we can discuss whether to see a doctor or have a baby."
Sun couldn't wait any longer. A year was a long time. By then, she probably wouldn't even dare to go out. She would be laughed at by those ladies. The daughter-in-law she had carefully selected couldn't give birth!
"Is one year too long?" Sun looked at her man and discussed with him.
"What's the long part? I'll ask Ran'er tomorrow and we'll talk to him after I ask him."
Sun became even more worried. Ran'er had such a strong sense of self-esteem that he would not get angry if he asked this question.
"What if my son is unhappy?"
Xiao Zhen looked at her with an impatient tone: "I don't care whether he is happy or not, otherwise don't bother me about this."
Sun:......
"When you ask, be more tactful!"
Xiao Zhen glanced at her. He really felt that women were just too idle and had nothing to do. They kept thinking about all sorts of things and looking for trouble every day!
He was so worried about next year's spring plowing, but she still had the energy to stare at her daughter-in-law's belly.
"My Lord, let's try raising fish in the rice fields next year."
What, raising fish in the fields?
Why does my wife think so much about raising fish in the fields?
"Why?"
She didn't know why. She had heard people say that fish were raised in rice fields. It was said that fields with fish were producing more rice. Maybe the insects in the fields were eaten by fish.
She has been to several places, including Hunan, Guizhou, and Wuyi Mountain, and the rice fish there is delicious.
So, fish can be raised in rice fields. I just don't know if it is possible in the climate she lives in now. It should be possible, right?
If the harvest is poor, the people can sell the fish in the fields and eat them, which provides them with an additional source of income.
"Xiaomi, if we raise fish in the fields, won't the fish die?" Xiao Ran continued to ask. He didn't understand how his wife came up with the idea of raising fish in rice fields. He felt it was unreliable.
"I'm not sure either, I just want to give it a try. Otherwise, I'll try it in my own farm in the city. If it doesn't work, it can also reduce some losses."
Back then, I should have studied agronomy and science for a few years.
She only thought about eating and didn't learn anything. In college, she studied a useless major, English. She didn't know what to do here. In all these years, she didn't see a single person from overseas.
"If you want to try, try it with my farm. I'll give the order after the New Year, and I'll follow your instructions for the spring ploughing."
What is she directing? Isn't it just releasing fish fry in the rice fields?
"Xiaomi, have you thought about how many fish fry you should put in one acre of land and how many fish you should raise?"
Lin Xiaomi: ...
"I just thought that if the harvest is not good next year, I can still sell the fish for money."
Looking at the daughter-in-law's expression, I knew that she just had a sudden idea. It was hard for her to be so thoughtful. For the people in the city, they were worried, and she was also thinking of a solution silently. Forget it, just take a farm and try it. If it doesn't work, I won't bother again next year.
"No problem. We can add different amounts of fish fry to each acre of land and have the village head register to see how many fish are best raised."
"it is good!"
This is a good idea. The village leaders are all good at farming and breeding, and are much better than her, a layman.
"Young Master, do you know a crop called sweet potato?" Sweet potato has a high yield and is not picky about the land. It is said that it grows well even in barren land where crops do not grow well.
With it, we can survive even years of famine.
"Never heard of it."
"Why don't we send someone to inquire about it and bring some back if there is any. It may be called sweet potato in some places."
"Have you seen this?"
Xiao Ran was curious about how she knew something he had never heard of.
