Transmigrating into a Book in the 80s: After Giving Up, I Was Pampered by a Rough Man

Jiang Mian slept exceptionally soundly that night.

She was awakened by the noise outside when the sun was high in the sky the next day.

After a quick wash, Jiang Mian arrived at the back of the mountain, and the sight before her made her slightly taken aback.

Last night, I was listless, looking at the more than one hundred sick ducklings that were on the verge of dying.

After a night of being nourished by purified water and feasted on leeches, it was as if it had been inflated!

It has grown significantly larger, and its down has changed from dull yellow to glossy and smooth.

They splashed around energetically by the water's edge, chasing grasshoppers in the grass, their calls ringing out with great vigor.

"Amazing! Absolutely amazing!" Lu Ting was reinforcing the duck shed when he saw this scene and exclaimed in amazement.

"I've raised poultry before, and I've never seen ducks grow this fast."

"That's right, look who raised it." Jiang Mian proudly raised her chin.

just.

As the sun rises and the temperature increases, an indescribable smell begins to permeate the air.

That smells like duck droppings.

More than a hundred ducks, that's more than a hundred manure-making machines.

In addition, these ducks eat a lot and poop even more, so the area around the duck shed and the shallow waters of the pond are covered with white and green duck droppings.

The smell, a mixture of fishy and watery odor, hit me right in the head.

"Ugh—" Er Gouzi covered his mouth and squatted down to dry heave.

"Does this duck have a straight intestine? It eats and poops just as much as it wants! It smells awful!"

As soon as Jiang Mian reached the edge of the pond, she was nearly overwhelmed by the stench, which was comparable to that of a biological weapon.

She quickly pinched her nose, took several steps back in a coquettish manner, and frowned so much that she could trap a fly.

"No, no, it stinks too much! How can anyone eat this?"

Just then, that familiar mechanical voice echoed in my mind.

[Deterioration of the aquaculture environment detected, triggering a side quest: Solve environmental pollution and establish an ecological cycle for fish fry farming.]

[Task Reward: Fish fry are granted disease and immunity buffs, and their growth rate is doubled]

Jiang Mian's eyes lit up.

This system is such a thoughtful little helper, it provides whatever you need!

Over there, Lu Ting saw that his wife was being suffocated by the smell, and without saying a word, he grabbed an iron shovel and was about to rush into the duck shed.

"Mianmian, go back inside and rest. Don't let the smell bother you. I'll shovel off this layer of soil and carry it to the ground to bury it."

These days, there are no automated cleaning machines; everything relies on manual labor.

If Lu Ting had to shovel the droppings of over a hundred ducks every day, wouldn't he be exhausted? How could that possibly align with the principle of "using salted fish to support one's husband"?

"Wait!" Jiang Mian quickly called out to him.

"What's wrong?" Lu Ting paused, turned around and looked at Jiang Mian with a puzzled expression.

Despite the stench, Jiang Mian earnestly began her deception.

Of course, this kind of hype also needs to be based on scientific evidence.

"Honey, are you crazy?! This duck droppings are a good thing; it's such a waste to shovel them up and bury them!"

Jiang Mian pointed to the murky pond. Although there was a purification system, the ducks kept polluting it, and eutrophication was inevitable.

"Look, the leeches in our pond are almost all gone. What will the ducks eat in the future? We can't afford to feed them only grains."

"My idea is, let's raise fish in the water!"

"Raising fish?" Er Gouzi scratched his head, looking completely bewildered. "Sister-in-law, what does this have to do with duck droppings?"

"It's a big deal!" Jiang Mian waved her little hand seriously.

"When duck droppings fall into the water, they can enrich the water, which will then breed many small insects and plankton."

"The fish grow quickly after eating these insects and duck droppings, and their droppings also serve as fertilizer for aquatic plants. The thriving aquatic plants purify the water and provide a habitat for the fish and ducks..."

Jiang Mian finished speaking in one breath, concluding with, "This is called—three-dimensional ecological circular aquaculture!"

The air was still for a few seconds.

Only a few ducks quacked as they passed by.

Lu Ting and Er Gouzi stared at each other, clearly stunned by this sophisticated theory.

"Sister-in-law... Sister-in-law," Er Gouzi said, his expression conflicted.

"You mean, make the fish eat...eat shit?"

"Will that fish still be edible when it grows up? Doesn't it feel disgusting?"

Jiang Mian rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "Crops still depend entirely on manure!"

"The rice and noodles you eat are made from manure, would you eat them or not?"

Er Gouzi was speechless for a moment, but after thinking about it for a long time, it seemed to make sense.

But something just feels off.

Although Lu Ting didn't really understand ecological cycles, he had one great advantage: he listened to his wife.

If my wife says it's okay, then it's okay.

My wife said that fish can grow bigger by eating poop, so fish must love eating poop.

"Alright, we'll do as Mianmian says." Lu Ting tossed the iron shovel aside, making the final decision: "We'll raise fish!"

He glanced at the sky. "It just so happens that there's a market day at the commune today. Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative and ask, or try our luck at the black market to see where they can sell fish fry."

"Let's go! Let's go now!" Jiang Mian didn't mind the smell anymore and was eager to rush outside.

Once you put the fish fry in and complete the task, this fishpond becomes a fully automatic treasure trove.

Lu Ting pushed out the brand-new 28-inch motorcycle, and Jiang Mian skillfully jumped onto the back seat.

The two had just arrived at the village entrance when they ran into the village chief, who was returning from the commune.

"Lu Ting, we've been looking for you." The village chief's expression was not good as he puffed on his pipe.

"Uncle, what's wrong? Have you finished dealing with Su Rou's matter?" Lu Ting stopped the car and braced himself with his long legs on the ground.

Upon hearing Su Rou's name, Jiang Mian's ears perked up.

The village chief sighed and shook his head. "It's been dealt with, but the commune said that since there was no substantial property damage and the ducks didn't actually die."

"Furthermore, Su, the educated youth, kept crying and complaining that the croton powder would at most only cause diarrhea in the ducklings. She was bewitched, and the educated youth office also wanted to smooth things over..."

"So?" Jiang Mian pressed, a bad feeling rising in her heart.

"So he was given a reprimand and education, locked in a small dark room at the educated youth settlement for three days to reflect on his actions, and made to write a self-criticism and post it at the brigade headquarters. That was the end of it."

Jiang Mian narrowed her eyes, a cold glint flashing in them.

three days?

It doesn't hurt or itch.

It seems that the definition of "attempt" was still quite vague in this era.

With her status as an educated youth protecting her, Su Rou managed to escape this ordeal by sheer luck.

However, someone like Su Rou would never let such a huge loss go unpunished.

If she still wants to cause trouble, I'll have plenty of opportunities to slap her face.

"Okay, I understand, thank you for your help, Uncle." Lu Ting's face was gloomy, clearly dissatisfied with the result.

He turned to look at Jiang Mian, afraid that his wife would be wronged.

Jiang Mian gently pinched his waist and winked at him, "Honey, don't be angry."

"Three days it is. It'll be just the right time for her to watch how we make our fortune. That's what you call being slowly cut with a dull knife—it hurts like hell."

With that, she waved her hand, full of vigor, "Let's go! Let's buy fish fry!"

"We're going to make this business bigger and bigger, and make those jealous bastards furious!"
