Chapter 438 440. Another meeting (2)
This awards ceremony was a bit like a press conference. In addition to the media, there were many tourists and people from other villages coming to join in the fun. Everyone has a mobile phone these days, and mobile friend circles are more effective than traditional media in spreading news.
News about the giant anchovy and the 100,000 bonus spread through mobile phones. These messages inevitably mentioned Longtou Village, making Longtou Village more and more famous.
However, Ao Muyang didn't pay much attention to the subsequent publicity. He noticed that there were a lot of big herrings produced in Ambergris Lake.
In early June, God did not let it rain for a long time, and Hongyang ushered in a severe drought that was rare in ten years.
When Ao Muyang was packing his things, he heard old man Ao Mubing sigh: "Fortunately, we people don't count on God for food now, nor do we count on the crops in the fields. Otherwise, the people will suffer in such a disaster year." !”
He had nothing to do, so he clasped his fingers while fanning himself: "In 1927, you don't know, we had a severe drought in Hongyang. Alas, that drought was really terrible..."
Ao Muyang said in surprise: "Master Bing, were you born in 1927?"
The old man smiled and said: "I was not born, but my brother was born at that time. He told me every day in the early years, oh, those days were so miserable..."
Ao Muyang listened for a while and felt that it was indeed miserable, but this year's drought was not that serious. A drought would only be terrible if it lasted for several years. It would not be terrible if it only rained less for one or two years. After all, there is some groundwater. Hold on.
It was hot, so he went to Ambergris Lake.
Many people were swimming in the lake. When they saw him entering the water, they thought he was also here to swim. In fact, Ao Muyang's purpose was not to swim. He wanted to check the situation of the fish in the lake.
During the tiger hunting operation some time ago, anglers caught a lot of fish from the lake, among which herring was the most numerous, and they were often big fish about half a meter long.
For farmed herring, the length of twenty centimeters is generally available on the market. Most people have never seen a one-meter-long herring. In fact, this kind of fish can grow very long.
The best proof of this is the proliferation of Asian carp in North America. The so-called "Asian carp" is a general term that represents common freshwater fish in East Asia such as herring, bighead carp, carp, crucian carp and grass carp.
These fish have successfully invaded North America, causing the U.S. Department of Fisheries and state governments to struggle. Because they are not restricted by natural enemies, they grow smoothly, and many of them are one-meter-large fish.
Herring is not a popular fish in coastal areas because it has a lot of bones and a strong fishy smell, making it difficult to cook well.
Ao Muyang dived into the water and scanned the water, and soon his heart became heavy.
There were indeed a lot of herrings in the lake. In less than ten minutes since he entered the water, he had already encountered four or five waves of big fish, all of which were herrings. They were huge and spectacular!
The presence of so many black carp in the water must be related to this year's water conditions.
Ao Muyang invested a lot of crab seedlings in the lake. He was still waiting for the autumn harvest, so he had to find a way to control the number of herrings.
Herring eats a lot and has a very complex diet. They not only eat algae and filter plankton, but also prey on small crabs during their molting period.
In addition, summer is the season for herring to produce seeds. If so many herrings successfully produce seeds, they may own half of Ambergris Lake next year.
When he returned to the village, he held another meeting. When he entered the conference room, several veteran cadres smiled helplessly: "Village Chief, you really love meetings."
Ao Muyang said: "It's business, when did you watch me having a blind meeting?"
On the contrary, after hearing him say that he had business, the village cadres who arrived one after another became quiet.
Now the team of village cadres in Longtou Village has grown a lot, and Ao Mudong, Ao Daguo, Ao Qianwen and others have all received appointment letters.
After Ao Wenchang arrived, the conference room became lively, and a group of people started joking with him.
Ao Muyang patted the table and said: "Okay, okay, everyone, please be quiet. We have business today - Wenchang, you didn't go on your honeymoon? Didn't you take your wife out for a walk?"
Ao Wenchang smiled bitterly and said: "I have to borrow money for this wedding. I have no money to go out."
"Did you waste all your money on Bao Yuteng's house?" Ao Mudong said angrily, "If you ask me, you can go to them and get your money back."
Ao Wenchang explained: "No, their family didn't take much advantage of my family. The money was mainly used to buy a house. The majority of the house was bought in full."
"I haven't taken advantage of your family yet? Are you kidding me? How much did you give as a gift just from the beginning?"
Ao Wenchang smiled and said: "They didn't get the money. I sent them a card. The card was an account opened in my name. Then I bought a financial product. No one can take it until it expires." Pay it forward. Now that I have reported the card as lost, they have a useless card.”
"Is there such a saucy operation?" Ao Mudong was surprised, "You scholars are so shady."
Ao Muyang said: "Okay, okay, let's not discuss it now, let's get down to business. I'm going to organize a fleet to go to the lake to do a fishing activity, specifically to catch herring."
Now everyone is wondering: "Why catch herring? This thing is worthless, and there is no market. If you catch it, it will eventually rot in our hands."
Ao Muyang explained: "There are too many herrings in the lake. If we don't clean them up, the crab seedlings and the water chestnuts we planted will be ruined."
"The Ambergris Lake does not belong to our village. If we want to clean it up, we can't just do our own work, right? We have to mobilize people from other villages, right?"
Ao Muyang said: "No, this is not a simple fishing operation, but also a tourist activity. There are always tourists who are willing to experience the life of fishermen. Take them with you. One boat seat costs 100 yuan. There must be many tourists willing to pay."
"In addition, herrings have fish roe. After catching them, we can pick out the fish roe and cook them. This thing is worth a lot. There are so many fishing houses in the village now. Are you still worried that the fish roe can't be sold? In addition, after picking out the fish roe, sell the remaining fish to me. Two yuan per catty, I will take it all."
Tiger needs beef as a snack every day, and Ao Muyang is going to replace it with herring.
Anyway, the strictest sea ban in Hongyang's history has begun since this month. He can't go out to sea to fish, so Tiger doesn't have to work hard, so it doesn't have to eat so well.
Ao Muyang has a very stylish meeting. He doesn't come to ask for everyone's permission, but to ask everyone to make suggestions. In other words, every time he raises an issue, it is a sure thing to be implemented.
This is very tyrannical, but it is really fun to be a tyrant, and it feels good to have the final say.
Without going out to sea, the main source of income for fishermen is cut off, so it is not bad to focus on Longxiang Lake at this time.
Ao Muyang emphasized that this time he went to Longxiang Lake to catch large black carps in batches and pick black carp roe to cook. The preciousness of this thing is self-evident, and its attraction to tourists is also self-evident.
Immediately, the village responded in droves.
