Vol 2 Chapter 347: Stop adjusting the water layer randomly, do you know?

As usual, Li Duoyu checked the fish meal and eels in the pond, and also checked the embankments around the pond to see if there were any cracks.

In the previous life, a farmer's pond collapsed, and tens of thousands of eels ran into the river. They were all caught by the villagers in the lower reaches of the river. If they didn't come back, they not only lost all their pants, but also owed money to the bank. A lot of money.

There are a few things to be solved right now. The first thing is that the second sister-in-law is very good at doing things and she also manages the eel factory very well.

 But it is obvious that he is secretly learning breeding techniques. Even if he is a relative, such a person is no longer suitable to continue working in the eel factory.

Li Duoyu has decided to fire his second brother and second sister-in-law directly during the window period after this batch of eels are sold.

  Wait until the next eel farming, and then recruit the second brother back alone. After all, he is still very practical. As for the second sister-in-law, if you guessed it right, there is a high probability that she will work alone.

Li Duoyu sighed. In fact, even if the second sister-in-law learned all the current eel farming techniques, it would be of no use.

Li Duoyu was very lucky this time when raising eels. He suffered from indigestion due to feed problems but no other symptoms.

 The reason why eels are difficult to raise is not just to talk about it, but because it is really difficult to raise. In previous lives, there were dedicated eel doctors.

 If something goes wrong, you will most likely have to pay them to treat the eel.

 What is the bacterial infection after detachment?

 Cheek rot caused by sporozoites and ringworms.

  Liver erosion caused by Edwardsiosis.

 There are other diseases such as melonworm, nailworm, septicaemia, mania, etc.

However, when cultivating eels, you cannot wait for them to become ill before handling them. All symptoms must be prevented in advance.

 Once there are signs.

 It needs to be dealt with immediately, otherwise fungal infections and pests will break out in a few days, and it will be enough to destroy half of the pond in just a few days.

 In short, in this era before broad-spectrum antibiotics became popular, raising eels well was not an easy task.

What Li Duoyu is more worried about now is that the second sister-in-law must not think that she is "awesome", otherwise she will really trick people to death if she goes out to work alone with only half a bucket of water.

But Li Duoyu also has his own little calculation. If the second sister-in-law leads others into a trap and waits for them to screw up, and then takes over at a low price, it will be like making money in vain.

Thinking of this, Li Duoyu grinned and couldn't help laughing.

 Chen Wenchao, who was playing with the puppy on the side, glanced at Brother Yu's weird smile and couldn't help but feel a little scared.

 I don’t know why, but the longer I spend time with Brother Yu, the more I feel afraid of him.

 When they were street kids, Brother Yu was also very scary, but that kind of fear was completely different from what it is now.

In the past, he would have beaten him to death, but now Brother Yu is even more terrifying. If you really offend him, you will definitely end up miserable.

No young man on Dandan Island dared to oppose him, because those who opposed him were either admitted to the Fourth Hospital or imprisoned.

His grandma would sometimes nag, saying that Li Duoyu was probably the reincarnation of the Seventh Son of the Dragon, Biuan.

Because Bi'an is not only the patron saint of fishermen, but also symbolizes prison, and Li Duoyu just changed his temper and sent many people on the island into it, so it fits perfectly.

“Xiaochao, are you suffering from heatstroke? Why are you still sweating all over your forehead?” Li Duoyu asked.

“No, it’s just that these dogs are too clingy to me and I get sweaty from playing with them.”

“I didn’t expect you to like dogs so much. Do you want to give you one?”

“No need, Brother Yu, I can just play with them in the eel factory.”

“Take a look at the eel factory, I’m going to the kelp and oysters.”

"no problem."

After Li Duoyu left the eel factory, he went to the dock and spent 30 cents to buy a big bone stick, which he planned to take to the fishing raft to grind his teeth.

Today, Xiao Jin was looking at the butcher shop. After seeing Li Duoyu, he quickly asked: "Village Chief, I saved some money. Have you gone fishing in the open sea recently?"

"Yes, you can go to Shuguang, but you may have to change boats soon. The time to go to the open sea and back can be shortened by more than three hours. Everyone can fish for two or three more hours, but the price of fishing spots will also increase accordingly. "

 Xiao Jin was surprised: "How much has it increased?"

“Maybe fifty yuan.”

　　Xiao Jin had a sad face: "But I only saved more than thirty, it's not enough."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "It's okay. If you don't have enough money, you can use the fish you catch to offset it."

Xiao Jin scratched his head: "What if I don't catch anything? My father has been thinking about making me a butcher all day long, and he won't give me money to go fishing."

“I believe in your skills. There are a lot of fish in the open sea, so you won’t kill turtles.”

Xiao Jin struggled for a while, and then said: "Okay, then I'll go find Brother Shuguang and try to go out to sea with you to catch big fish next time."

Before the tide receded, Li Duoyu untied the boat rope tied to the pier of the fishing port and pulled the sampan over.

Since getting the fishing boat, Li Duoyu feels that the frequency of use of sampan boats has obviously become less, but for kelp fields and oyster fields, sampan boats are the best.

Although the fishing boat is good, the draft is also very heavy, and it is troublesome to get on and off the boat. You have to ask the people at the dock to row a small boat to send you to board the boat.

The sampan boat is relatively simple. As long as the tide is not low, you can pull the rope and the boat will come over, and you can go out to sea at any time.

After Li Duoyu got on the boat, he went directly to the fishing raft. It was still the same as before. Before the boat even got close, the two hundred and fifty were as anxious as the two hundred and fifty.

Since he was bitten when he went into the sea before, Erbai Wu didn’t dare to swim in the sea no matter how anxious he was.

After Li Duoyu got on the fishing raft, he threw a big bone stick over, but instead of chewing the bone as usual, Erbaiwu kept sniffing at Li Duoyu's body.

Becomes irritable and restless, and makes a "hum hum" sound. Judging from the situation, it has been suffocated by staying on the fishing raft for too long.

Li Duoyu touched the head of Erbai5's dog and said with a smile: "If you bear it any longer, your wife is still underage."

  “Wow”

Li Duoyu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take it as your promise. I'll send your wife to the fishing raft at the end of the year."

“Woof woof” After a while, Li Duoyu went to chew big bones. Li Duoyu took a look at the cage. He thought that a lot of farmed marine fish would die, but he found that not only did the number not decrease, but there were more.

 These fish were caught by Chen Wenchao using a net.

 Li Duoyu is a little hard to understand how Chen Wenchao did it when his wife was in confinement and had to make eel feed.

 He can still find time to fish and raise fish. Is it possible that he is also a master of time management?

As Li Duoyu started the sampan again, Erbai51 heard the sound of the diesel engine and ran to the sampan with a big bone stick in his mouth.

Li Duoyu looked at its pitiful appearance and said with a smile: "Forget it, I'll take you to the island once, don't mess around, you know."

Li Duoyu drove a sampan in the kelp field and inspected it.

Maybe because Dad has been focusing on building a new house recently, the management of the kelp field has been a little behind. There are obviously a lot more attachments on the float, and the mussels have grown to the size of a thumb, and they are still hanging. Less sea vegetables and seaweed.

Li Duoyu pulled the yellow-brown kelp onto the boat and found that the kelp was nearly two meters long and very wide and thick.

Ever since he caught the jellyfish net in the Zhoushan Islands, Li Duoyu already knew that the kelp would grow very well this year.

 If you want kelp to grow well,

 The spelling is April and May.

 It’s only late April.

 The kelp is already this big. In another month, the weight may double.

By then, even if the kelp market is not as good as last year, kelp farmers will still make money.

 Li Duoyu estimates that if the kelp harvest is successful this year, each household will make at least five times the profit.

By then, there will be several more households worth ten thousand yuan on the island, and a large number of red-eye patients will also appear on the island.

Li Duoyu picked up a small shovel and cleaned up the various algae and shellfish attached to the floating ball.

 Li Duoyu’s kelp farming area is about one hundred acres, and there are more than 10,000 floating **** like this.

 It was definitely a big project to process. Li Duoyu had only processed about two hundred pieces, and he was already covered in sweat.

 At this time.

 A sampan boat arrived at Li Duoyu’s breeding field. An old man wearing a bamboo hat said hello:

 “Are there many fish?”

 Li Duoyu looked at the old man: "Uncle Hu, it's me."

 The person who came to see him was Li Duoyu's neighbor Lao Hu. His family had taken away 20 acres of the 300 acres of abalone field they had auctioned.

 Lao Hu said: "Duoyu, come over and help me see why, my kelp cultivation is not as good as yours."

Li Duoyu was a little puzzled. Logically speaking, they were all in the same breeding site and no one had any problems, so why was he the only one who had problems?

Li Duoyu sailed over to Lao Hu's kelp field to check it out, and found that his kelp field was really clean.

The floating ball is snow-white, not even a single algae can be seen, and the stem rope hanging the kelp is also very clean.

 It’s just too clean.

When Li Duoyu pulled his kelp out of the sea, he found that his kelp was indeed about half a meter shorter than other people's.

There were obvious scratches on the leaves. He had never seen anything like this before after raising kelp for so many years.

Li Duoyu asked: "Uncle Hu, do you often pull up the kelp and clean it?"

 Lao Hu nodded: "Well, didn't you say that if the kelp is stuck by the sand, it will not be easy to grow?"

 “How often do you wash the kelp?”

 “A week.”

Li Duoyu twitched the corners of his mouth, and finally understood why there were scratches on these kelp.

 Lao Hu is obviously over-eating and over-maintaining.

 If it can be maintained through transition, the most it will be is scratches on the epidermis, which will not make it grow slower than others. Li Duoyu then asked:

 “Do you still adjust the water layer regularly?”

Lao Hu said doubtfully: "Didn't you say that when the sun is strong, it is easy to burn the kelp? So at noon when the weather is nice, I put the kelp deeper."

Li Duoyu patted his forehead and gave Comrade Hu a thumbs up on the spot. He had seen idle people, but never such idle people.

 Kelp is an algae that does not need to be taken care of very carefully. During the cultivation period, the biggest workload is to regulate the water layer.

 It is generally adjusted according to the seasons, often only once every one or two months.

Li Duoyu smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Hu, do you know how Huadu died?"

 Lao Hu shook his head.

“It’s all been watered to death by you gardeners who have to water it every day. You are over-managing.”

Li Duoyu sighed: "Next, you can learn whatever I do. Don't just stare at the kelp field with nothing to do all day long to see if you know."

 Lao Hu's face turned red: "Duoyu, is it because I'm taking care of it too hard that the kelp doesn't grow well?"

"What do you think?"

 Li Duoyu asked rhetorically.

“By the way, remember not to sell the first section of kelp this year. Our village is preparing to export it.”

 Lao Hu said in surprise: "How much can I sell for export?"

Li Duoyu thought for a while and replied: "This matter is led by the Fisheries Bureau. I haven't said how much it will cost yet. In short, the price given by Xiaotian must be much higher than selling it to the local area."

"That's good."

Before leaving, Li Duoyu specifically emphasized: "Don't mess with the water level anymore, you know, otherwise when summer comes, all your kelp may rot." (End of Chapter)
