Busy Farming in The Last Days

Chapter 14

The biggest difference between rice field fish farming and other fish farming is that the pools are of different depths.

The water depth in the paddy field varies, usually no more than ten centimeters deep, and the fish species raised in such a water environment are usually much smaller than those in the pond.

However, the advantage of fish farming in rice fields is not only that it kills two birds with one stone, but also that rice and fish can complement each other.

Stocking herbivorous fish species in rice fields can not only effectively inhibit the growth of weeds, but also the feces of fish can increase the fertility of the water body. It's just that Ji Cha couldn't figure out how to solve it for a while, that is, the fish farming in rice fields needs the introduction of appropriate running water. Under the current situation, this problem made him very embarrassed.

Ji Cha took out a pen and put a big question mark on the large area of the draft pad that belonged to the paddy field.

But other than that, the other plans are clear.

Jicha stayed up all night to calculate the planting area of each crop, and calculated their final output according to the yield per mu. If this entire open space can be used efficiently, more than a dozen adults will not have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation.

And with more than a dozen people stationed, this place can have a minimum security guarantee.

It took Zhang Xingyi three days to refit the agricultural machinery, and he took Ji Cha to show him how to operate it later.

"Here, just take it here to charge it. It's the same as your electric car, and the charging time is still enough. I installed a battery display device here, and it can be charged once when it drops to about 10%."

To say that Zhang Xing's modification is really good, it is simple and easy to understand, and it is also very convenient to operate. Ji Cha nodded, then looked up at the half-modified house behind them, and asked Zhang Xing, "If the house behind is powered by solar power, can it be done?"

After the end of the world, this fortress must have a power generation system for its own operation.

Zhang Xingdao, "Now there are a few materials with good conversion efficiency, and the policy is also oriented towards subsidies and support, but in general, it still depends on how many electrical appliances you use in your house. For such a large house, you just Wouldn’t it be enough to install a central air conditioner?”

"There is no air conditioner, and the lights are not turned on at night, at most," Ji Cha thought for a while, and affirmed, "At most, open a few more freezers, and these are the rest." He patted those agricultural tools.

As for the other electrical products that have arrived, there is none that Ji Cha intends to use every day.

"It's that simple," Zhang Xingdao, "Installing a circle around the roof and adding a few more power storage devices is more than enough. You can add two TVs and a water heater."

"Anyway, let's get it done first, I'll experiment for a few days and then say it," Ji Cha typesetting settled the matter, "The freezer I ordered will almost arrive in a few days, you can help me fix it when the time comes."

"In such a hurry?" Zhang Xing took out his mobile phone from his pocket, "Then I have to ask my friends over there first."

Ji Cha climbed to the top of the second floor in one breath. There was only one small house extending from the stairs on the top of the building, and the rest of the building was flat. He still remembers that when he was a child, the rice planted at home was brought here to dry, and at noon he came over to dry under the sun.

He didn't plan to change the function of this place now, he just asked people to add a fence of about 1.2 meters around, one is to block the prying eyes from outside, and the other is for safety.

The newly piled bricks were still showing the red color of the new bricks, while a worker was plastering cement on them, and when they saw Ji Cha, they greeted him.

Ji Cha walked to the edge and looked down. The wall outside had been heightened and reinforced by half, and it looked not much lower than the building. Looking around, except for a few deserted fields, there is almost no one inhabited, and two cars are coming back and forth on the road far away.

The only villages that are visible to the naked eye are the old people and children who were left in the village under the wave of migrant workers. There are almost no traces of young adults. These two types of people are undoubtedly the weakest after the end of the world.

"Ji Cha, Ji Cha! Come down quickly, the well drilling team is here."

Suddenly there was a greeting from below, Ji Cha looked down, the two cars just now were approaching, and a worker downstairs was shouting to him.

"Oh, here we come!" He quickly recovered and ran downstairs quickly.

After the end of the world, there is no need to think about tap water. Even if there is, I don’t know the source of it. Has anyone died in it. Groundwater is naturally filtered through layers and becomes a more convenient option.

The temperature of the well water is almost constant throughout the year, whether it is filtered for drinking or irrigation, it is good.

Ji Cha was going to dig two traditional round wells at diagonally opposite corners of the factory building, so he contacted the local well-drilling team, and the other party took over the job neatly.

The traditional hand-pressed wells in rural areas produce less water, but the price is relatively cheap. The well-drilling team made it clear to Ji Cha, "We can also drill what you said, but I think this kind of well is actually not very practical. There is tap water, and it has been disinfected, but if you want it, we can do it too." If you can do the work beautifully, it will cost a little more money.”

Ji Cha didn't say anything about the money matter, it was decided immediately, and people will start work in the afternoon.

Now there are dozens of mouths to eat in the factory, and some of the food that Jicha originally purchased is not enough. So in the afternoon, he went to the town to buy rice and noodles with his high school classmates.

"You went to a university, and you're really good at it when you come back," said a high school classmate named Cheng Dongliang, who was a high school classmate with Ji Cha for three years. After failing the college entrance examination, he didn't continue to study, and went to work with his cousin at home. It's a bit messed up now.

Ji Cha didn't know how to explain, feeling a little helpless.

At this time, the mobile phone rang twice suddenly. He looked down and saw that it was a text message sent to him by the real estate agency. It seemed that the sale of the house was about to be completed.

"Your life is good, my family is not short of money, and there are still houses and cars in the city, but after I finish this year, I may be able to save a down payment for a house. When the time comes, I will go to the city to look at the house. Help me Staff staff."

Cheng Dongliang's face is shining, full of hope for the future.

Ji Cha turned his head to look at him, and then looked down at the text message on his mobile phone interface.

The buyer on the other side of the text message may also be a young man like Cheng Dongliang, who has saved money for a long time and only hopes to have a place of his own. Knowing that the end of the world will come in more than a month, knowing that everything now will almost be empty without preparation. What's more, I already have the money borrowed from Liang Jincheng, plus my own savings, which is enough to support him to complete the various renovations and purchases in the future. Do I want the other party to waste money on this

Ji Cha hesitated.

"I may live in that house for another month. Can I ask him to go through the formalities then?"

Ji Cha thought about it and sent a text message.

The other side quickly replied, "As long as you don't change your mind, he said he can afford to wait."

"Success." Ji Cha replied.

In one month's time, the signs of the apocalypse can no longer be ignored, and no one will foolishly spend money on a house when the time comes.

"Hey, that's right," Cheng Dongliang turned the car into the street of the town, and asked Ji Cha while slowing down the car, "Are you going to build a small yard for yourself?" Ji Cha acted like he was messing around, "You know there is an orchard over there in Chenqiao, the one our high school class went to play together, it is said that it can't be opened now, and many fruit trees in it are sold at low prices , There are quite a lot of places in your yard, you can buy some and bring them back to plant, some of those fruit trees are more than ten years old, and some are as short as six or seven years, they will bear fruit when you buy them, you don’t have to wait.”

Ji Cha reminded him that this was indeed a good idea. According to the size of the land he planned now, and there was still some extra small open space, it would be a good arrangement to plant a few fruit trees such as apple trees and orange trees.
