Chapter 23: Release water, catch fish

It's mid-September.

Brother and sister Ye Mo successfully obtained the excavator operating certificate and learned how to deal with common excavator faults.

Two excavators have been shipped here, as well as some accessories.

An orchard transport truck with a tipping bucket function. This transport truck costs hundreds of dollars and can be used to transport fertilizers and excavators.

Ye Mo's big excavator is just over 5 tons, which can just fit it.

His parents were very dissatisfied with Ye Mo's lavish spending just a few days after he came back, and they nagged him for several days.

But when the excavator was brought back, it became a real fragrance to Ye Mo’s father.

U-15-3S, weighing 1750 kilograms, is compact and can travel freely in sloping orchards...

After buying the excavator, Dad Ye learned it briefly, then drove the small excavator out, found several spacious places in the orchard, and dug several small reservoirs.

The maximum digging depth of a small excavator is 2.3 meters. It is just suitable for digging a small reservoir of four to five square meters.

The machine is not big, but the power is not small.

A 150 yuan diesel can last more than nine hours at full power.

If diesel fuel returned to the 5-yuan era and was driven at full capacity for a day, it would cost 100 yuan.

This excavator is equipped with a 0.04 cubic meter bucket. The bucket is not big. If you dig a shovel, it weighs 70 to 80 kilograms.

Using a small excavator is much faster than manual digging and saves money.

A 4.5-square-meter water storage pit has a height of about 2 meters and a volume of 9 cubic meters. If it were dug manually, it would take two people two or three days.

With a small excavator, it can be done in half a day. With skill, it can take two or three hours.

A small excavator can handle the workload of ten people.

Ye Mo's family bought a small excavator, and people from the village came to visit one after another. Seeing Ye's father digging a small water storage pit in the orchard, many people came to ask about the price and how much it would cost to dig a pit.

Before Ye Mo and the others obtained the excavator operating license, Ye Dad had received many business projects for digging reservoirs.

In hilly areas, the advantages of mini excavators are reflected.

Ye Mo told his parents that the micro excavator cost 120,000 yuan, but he didn't dare to tell them that it cost more than 200,000 yuan. Otherwise, he would have been nagged for a long time.



Return home.

"Where's my dad?" Ye Mo asked when he saw his mother hanging clothes to dry.

Mother Ye said: "I'm sleeping."

"Dad, I went to catch fish in the mountains." Ye Mo went in and shouted.

Father Ye woke up and rubbed his eyes: "I'm going to Zhang Laosi's orchard later to dig ditches for him. Just call your second uncle and younger uncle, and you can catch them yourself."

"My micro digger..." Ye Mo originally wanted to tell his father the price of that micro digger.

The micro-excavator cost more than 200,000 yuan, and Dad Ye drove it out to work for others, charging 110 yuan per hour. Although the fuel consumption is not high...you have to calculate the wear and tear of the machine.

To be honest, 110 yuan per hour is still okay.

But, the price of that Weibo is too high.

If he had known that the micro-dig was so popular in rural areas and his father was willing to drive it, Ye Mo would have bought the 130,000 yuan model. The feeling should be similar.

Ye Mo's original plan was to use the 5-ton excavator to work and make money, and they would use the micro-excavation themselves. Now, it happened to be reversed.

After thinking about it, Ye Mo still kept the price of Weibo in his stomach.

Ye Mo put the 5-ton excavator on the transport truck and headed to the high soil slope.

Ye Ran drove the pickup truck and loaded several large buckets and iron basins inside.

On the way out, I called my second uncle, second aunt, and brother-in-law.

The cement road on the high slope has been repaired.

When we came to the mountain, there were several workers building a warehouse.

Warehouses with steel frame structures use insulated colored steel for the roof and walls. Ye Mo has planned three warehouses, two of which have been built, and the last one is still available.

The construction permit for the house has not been issued yet. It is said that someone will come to see the site on the 20th of this month. If the site is suitable, it will be approved...

The car drove to the pond.

This is a natural pond, but it has been widened...

The water here has never been drained, and the fish in it are quite big.

Ye Mo took down the excavator, and brothers Ye Zhi and Ye Wen were the first to come over on motorcycles.

"elder brother."

"Brother..." the two shouted.

Ye Mo responded.

"How much does your small excavator cost?" Ye Zhi asked.

"One hundred and thirty thousand." Ye Mo said.

"So expensive?" Ye Wen.

Ye Mo shrugged.

"How much oil does that micro-excavator use per day?" Ye Zhi said: "I want to dig a few pools in the orchard over there."

"One hundred, forty and fifty yuan a day for gas." Ye Mo said.

The advantage of micro-excavation is that it can go to places that small and medium-sized excavators cannot go.

Ye Mo got on the small excavator, turned on the engine, dug an opening into the pond, and started draining the water. Then he cleared a road to get into the pond...

This pond has a water surface area of ​​about 1.5 acres, which is considered a very large pond in the mountains.

The water depth is nearly 2 meters.

Open a large opening and release the water.

Not long after, you can see fish jumping on the water surface.

After a while, Ye Ran drove over in a car, taking his second uncle, younger uncle, and Chen Chen with him.

Chen Chen took his father to Chengdu for surgery and has returned.

"Brother Ye Mo, Brother Zhi, Brother Wen." Chen Chen came over and handed them cigarettes.

"Is Third Uncle's leg okay?" Ye Mo lit a cigarette and asked.

"I'm recovering and can stand up now." Chen Chen said with a smile.

"That's good."

The water is almost gone.

The second uncle and the younger uncle took the big iron basin and went down to catch fish.

On the shore, the mud was up to my legs.

Everyone went down one after another, and Ye Mo also took a big iron basin and went in to catch fish.

"Brother, there is a big silver carp on your left." Ye Ran shouted excitedly.

This Ye Ran was definitely dressed like a goddess. But in the countryside, she looked like a wild child. As soon as she jumped off, mud stuck to her face.

Ye Mo reached out to catch a large silver carp, estimated to be about twenty kilograms. He didn't catch it at first, so he ran to Ye Ran...Ye Ran pressed it into the mud, picked it up again, and swung the fish hard.

The tail splashed mud and flew everywhere. It all splashed on the second uncle's face...

"You have to grab the fish's head, pick the gills, and use more force." The second uncle wiped the mud from the corner of his mouth and said.

"It's so big that it's hard to catch firmly." The fish Ye Ran caught ran away. He had a look of pity on his face...

The water is very shallow.

My mother and two aunts blocked the water outlet to prevent the big fish from escaping.

There are silver carp, silver carp, grass carp, carp and crucian carp in the pond.

There are not many silver carp and silver carp, but they are all very big.

Grass carp is smaller in size, ranging from seven to eight to ten pounds.

It's just quantity, not much.

After the water dried up, all the big fish were caught in a short time.

6 silver carp, 11 silver carp.

More than a dozen grass carp.

The rest are carp and crucian carp.

There are quite a lot of crucian carps, both big and small.

The sun has set.

Ye Ran sent the fish he caught back and passed by a warehouse under construction. Ye Ran also brought some large silver carp to the workers there.

Ye Mo dug the opening of the pond deep, drained the pond, and let it dry first.

It will be the dry season in another month. Let it dry first and then process it slowly.

Next to the durian orchard, there is a deep water pond specially used to irrigate the durian orchard.

There is no need to irrigate during the rainy season, but during the rest of the time when there is little rainfall, and it is particularly dry, you still need to irrigate.

It was not dark yet, so Ye Mo drove the excavator over and dug out deep water holes one by one in the ditch.
