Chapter 408 The Joy of Harvest

Just then, the sound of a large truck came from the village entrance.

Is that a big truck?

"How did this big truck get into our car?"

"Who are you looking for?"

Soon, two large trucks drove up to the ten acres of land and stopped.

The car door opened, and a young man jumped out of the driver's seat.

Then he walked up to Gu Yunnan.

He reached out and grabbed Gu Yunnan, saying, "Brother, I've come to collect the fish!"

Gu Yunnan patted Zhao Feng on the shoulder, "Perfect timing, I was just about to fish it out."

"Just as I was about to scoop it up, he said, 'Great timing is everything, I'll help too.' With that, Zhao Feng rolled up his pants."

Later, after Gu Yunnan explained, everyone realized that he had already contacted someone to sell the fish.

He was a big boss, and he was very happy when he accidentally learned that Gu Yunnan was raising fish in rice paddies.

To put it bluntly, if the fish in Gu Yunnan's rice paddy fish farm turn out well, he will harvest all of them.

It turns out that this big boss is in the fish-selling business, and his business is quite large.

He had also heard of rice-fish farming.

I've heard that fish raised this way are even plumper and more delicious.

Unfortunately, over the years, he has never seen anyone actually raise fish in rice paddies.

Now, how could he not be excited when he first heard about Gu Yunnan's rice-fish farming?

So even though Gu Yunnan was only planning to raise fish in rice paddies, the big boss still agreed to the ten acres of fish that would be raised.

During the following period, the big boss also contacted Gu Yunnan from time to time to find out how the fish were being raised.

Until recently, rice-fish farming has finally been successfully completed.

After Gu Yunnan made a phone call to the big boss, he rushed to Huaihua Village to take a look.

Not only did she watch, but that very night, Yao Chunhua also caught a fish and cooked a steamed fish meal for the big boss.

The big boss was instantly amazed by what he tasted.

He immediately made the decision to take the ten acres of fish within the next few days.

I paid the deposit back then.

Zhao Feng was Gu Yunnan's colleague when they worked at the grain store.

After taking over the contract, Gu Yunnan sold his job at the grain store.

It has to be said that when Gu Yunting sold his job at the steel mill, the villagers felt very sorry for him.

After all, it's a secure job that can be passed down from generation to generation.

Everyone has a fixed salary and various benefits on holidays.

Who knows, there might even be housing allocation benefits later on.

How could I bear to sell it like this?

Back then, Gu Yunzhou's job at the supply and marketing cooperative was out of necessity.

Gu Yunzhou got into university, and it was Beijing University.

That means I'll definitely go to university.

But Gu Yunting and Gu Yunnan didn't get into university.

It's not worth selling this stable job like this.

However, no matter what the villagers thought, they couldn't change the Gu brothers' decision.

Gu Yunnan sold his job to start a contract business not long ago.

My colleague Zhao Feng also sold his job not long after.

However, he didn't go back to the village to take on a contracted business; instead, he worked as a truck driver with his uncle.

The uncle and nephew set up a fleet of cars and drove sports cars.

He brought two large trucks today, just as Gu Yunnan had told him beforehand to come and haul fish. And here Zhao Feng is.

And so, the lively fish-catching began very quickly.

One by one, the plump fish were scooped out.

Sometimes, when you cast a net, it's full of fish.

They were jumping and hopping around in the net.

Moreover, each one was very fat, weighing at least two pounds, and some of the larger ones weighed three or four pounds.

Not only that, there are quite a lot of fish. If you look closely at the field, you can see the fish swimming side by side, densely packed together, which is a very pleasing sight.

The villagers were incredibly envious.

And these fish were loaded onto large trucks.

The fish from the ten acres of fields were loaded onto trucks one after another.

It took a whole day to haul them all away, with the help of the villagers.

"Look, the rice is growing really well."

“Each one is thicker and stronger than the ones we used to grow.”

"That's right, and these rice ears look very full, and they smell very fragrant."

"What do you think is the principle behind this?" someone asked, puzzled.

After all, at first, when people heard about raising fish in rice paddies, they all thought, "How can that be allowed?"

If you raise fish in rice paddies, the fish will surely damage the rice seedlings.

So, everyone was puzzled and went to ask Gu Yunnan.

Gu Yunnan immediately chuckled, "My younger sister told me about this. It's called something like material cycling and ecological balance..."

"You all think that fish eats rice seedlings? No, that's not it. The fish eats weeds and other harmful things in the rice paddies. Since the fish eats the pests, they don't harm the rice seedlings. Wouldn't the rice seedlings grow even better then?"

Villager: It seems that's really the case.

Gu Yunnan continued, "And another thing, after the fish eats, it excretes, and what it excretes naturally becomes fertilizer for the rice seedlings, so the seedlings grow even better, right?"

"So, rice-fish farming achieves a symbiotic relationship between rice and fish."

"You can think of them as having a mutually supportive relationship."

"So, not only is the rice growing well, but the fish are growing well too."

Everyone looked enlightened, "Oh, I see. That makes sense."

"Then it seems we can try rice-fish farming too?"

"This way, our rice will not only grow better, but we can also catch more fish."

"Second son of the Gu family, if we ever get into rice-fish farming, can we ask you if we have any questions?"

Gu Yunnan nodded, "Of course, but I have to make it clear that rice-fish farming is not so easy. There are many things to pay attention to. If you ask me, I will definitely tell you without reservation."

"But don't blame me if you don't handle things well later!" Gu Yunnan was willing to share with the villagers, after all, they were all his fellow villagers.

But he still understood some aspects of human nature.

Therefore, we must speak frankly beforehand.

Upon hearing Gu Yunnan's words, the villagers immediately replied, "No, no, how could we blame you?"

"Yes, it's already very kind of you to tell us." After all, these days, many things are meant to be passed down through generations.

Who would want to pass on their family heirloom to someone else?

"If we don't do well, it's because our skills are inferior to others."

"Yes, yes, that's it."

Hearing this, Gu Yunnan finally felt relieved.

All the fish were taken away, and the big boss also arrived, giving Gu Yunnan the remaining balance.

Gu Yunnan was genuinely happy as he held those stacks of money.

Then he gave the money to his wife, Su Miao, for safekeeping!
