Chapter 1022: The Poseidon Festival Begins!
Jiang Hai's bait has miraculous effects. This statement soon spread among the people in Winthrop who like fishing. But unfortunately, Jiang Hai did not give them too many opportunities. There was no way Jiang Hai could do it. The rice fields are small.
According to domestic standards, one hectare of land can only be stocked with 10,000 to 15,000 fish, which means that only 15 acres of land can be used to stock these fish fry. You still have to consider the death of these fry.
Jiang Hai now only has two acres of land, and the fish he released were all adult fish. Naturally, he could not release them like fry. Therefore, Jiang Hai only fished for a day and a half before returning. On the first day, he caught more than 700 fish, of which 600 were caught. There are many crucian carp and a hundred small carps, the largest of which is only a little over two pounds. If you put it in the rice field, it will not look very big.
But the effect is quite good. The fish put in at night may not have eaten yet, but after the fish put in at noon, they have already started hunting at night. The insects floating in the water are all the most perfect crucian carp. of rations.
When Jiang Hai went to see it the next day, almost one-tenth of the bugs originally floating on the water were gone. Of course, the bugs would continue to grow, but these would be the best food for these fish.
The next morning, Jiang Hai went to catch some fish again, but this time, he was not limited to fishing for crucian carp and carp. He also started fishing for grass roots. Grass roots are actually quite difficult to raise. In order to let these people adapt. , Jiang Hai also specially put a trace of spiritual energy in the bucket containing these fish to ensure that these fish would not die.
Of course, Jiang Hai can't catch whatever fish he says, and those fish won't listen to him. It's easy to catch carp when fishing for crucian carp, let alone grass carp, so basically there are all kinds of fish, but grassroots It is indeed quite a lot.
After catching about two hundred more miscellaneous fish, Jiang Hai left. But when he left, naturally the old man he had been with for a long time yesterday took the remaining insects from Jiang Hai's hand with a smile. , after Jiang Hai left, he couldn't wait to take out the sea pole he had specially prepared. This time, the old man was ready to do it for real.
Not to mention, this uncle is really lucky. Although he got wet when he went back in the evening, he still had a lot of harvest. He harvested six big fish in total, and a one-meter-long mirror carp was quite eye-catching. At night I made it specially when I was there, and had a wonderful meal with a few familiar people. Of course, Jiang Hai didn't know about this.
He just returned to the manor with his own fish. Among the fish were grass carp, silver carp, black fish, and two small catfish. Jiang Hai immediately collected the fish and threw them into the rice fields. .
The effect is still very good. Basically, after a rest for an afternoon, these fish start to look for food.
When Jiang Hai and Connerson-Peters went to see it again on the third day, although there were still bugs on the water, the number was significantly smaller, basically only half or even one-third of what they saw the day before yesterday. Of course, Jiang Hai and the others don't have to worry about these fish eating up all the bugs. Everyone knows how fast the bugs hatch. It's spring, so it's impossible to eat all the bugs.
With the success of Jiang Hai's rice field fish farming, he no longer has to worry about insects and lack of fertilizer.
And the most important thing is that when the water is released in the autumn, he is expected to harvest a large number of fish, and then he can taste the taste of the river fish he raised himself. Thinking about it, Jiang Hai couldn't help but smack his lips, after eating too much sea fish , it’s also good to eat river fish occasionally.
Think about those sweet and sour fish, braised fish, and dry-fried crucian carp. Well, you can really eat them when the time comes.
After solving this matter, Jiang Hai was in a state of decadence again. Mayor Wallis and Jiang Hai greeted him in advance. In three days, it will be the time for the Poseidon Festival. Jiang Hai will go for a walk one day in advance. , and then take a look, if there is anything wrong, they can correct it, but in the past two days, he has no control over whether Jiang Hai lets it go or not.
Just like this, Jiang Hai was in a state of intoxication for another two days. On this day, he finally did not stay at home because he had agreed to go to the market. Jiang Hai's status in Winthrop was not necessary. Talk a lot.
Last year, Jiang Hai held the fish tank. This year, Mayor Wallis asked him to hold it from beginning to end. He only helped to hold the fish tank when he received it. Jiang Hai had nothing to say about this. , although he is a little tired, he can still bear this kind of work. Although the fish tank is more beautiful than in previous years, it only weighs about five kilograms, so it is not a big problem for him.
Because tomorrow is the celebration, Jiang Hai also saw this year's sacrifice today, an Atlantic blue dragon.
Jiang Hai also introduced this thing, so I won’t go into details here, but this year’s one seems to be quite small.
I have to admit that the fishermen here in Winthrop are quite good. You must know that this kind of sea slug is hard to see. It is also a very popular pet internationally. This kind of creature basically only lives in the tropics. sea area, but it can sometimes be seen here in Winthrop, especially in early spring, when this creature will be swept up by the ocean currents.
This kind of creature has a very strong appetite when it is in sea water between 13 and 24 degrees, but if it is lower than 13 degrees or higher than 24 degrees, they will no longer eat. In the ocean, basically They live on the rocks, or roll up into a ball and drift with the current. Although this creature looks like a bug, it is an essential and beneficial creature in the ocean, because their main food is poisonous. Jellyfish and purple snails are similar to what turtles eat.
Therefore, in Europe and North America, where animal protection groups are rampant, this creature is still relatively common in summer.
On the other hand, Yin Guoyang, who should have been more numerous, is now rarely seen, and they are basically captured and kept as pets.
In fact, it is impossible for this kind of creature to be exterminated, because this kind of creature is hermaphroditic and can give birth to children by itself. With such a powerful talent, it is indeed not easy to exterminate it.
Holding this glass jar, Jiang Hai, Mayor Wallis, and Sandy Clive walked around along the road they were going to take tomorrow. Azarina and the others were not idle either, joking, Jiang Hai came to parade, what if there was danger?
You must know that there will be a lot of people tomorrow, so the girls who have been at home for a while also started to get busy.
The surveillance at various locations, as well as the selection of police officers to protect Jiang Hai personally, are all being prepared in an orderly manner.
As everyone discussed, they had basically thought of tomorrow's situation. Then another night passed, and Jiang Hai got up early the next morning. To be honest, he rarely got up so early.
But there was indeed something going on today. They all went out at around six o'clock in the morning. At this time, Winthrop was actually just getting dark. Following Jiang Hai and the others, they came to the square in the middle of the town. At this time, the square was already There are quite a few people.
There were tourists and locals. When they saw Jiang Hai, these people all cheered. Of course, the one who cheered the loudest was Jiang Hai. If it weren't for Jiang Hai, this would still be a poor small fishing village.
As for tourists, they are somewhat confused, because most people don’t know Jiang Hai. Although I heard that there is a Chinese here who is very rich, there are still too few people who have seen Jiang Hai. Now basically Hearing the locals cheering, they cheered along and joined in the fun. Amidst the cheers, Jiang Hai also walked to the high platform.
At seven o'clock sharp, with the sound of thirty-two gun salutes, this year's Poseidon Festival officially began. There were no performances, no leaders' speeches, and no circles around. Once the time came, Wallis Town The chief announced the start of this year's Poseidon Festival and handed the glass jar directly to Jiang Hai's hand. Jiang Hai also raised the glass jar containing the blue dragon high, then went down the stairs and headed towards their original destination. The route to the seaside passed.
Along the way, more and more townspeople and tourists joined the parade. In front of the parade, the band organized by Winthrop School and the little friends who performed shows were also constantly clearing the way.
Jiang Hai and the others walked very slowly along the way. It took them four hours to walk for about an hour. At 11 o'clock in the morning, they arrived at the release platform by the sea. Following Jiang Hai, they walked slowly. The sea released the blue dragon into the sea, and all the locals cheered. This also meant that the sea god accepted his gift. There will definitely be a good harvest this year. After releasing the blue dragon, in fact, the ceremony and The parade was over, and then everyone gradually dispersed and walked towards the three areas that had been planned for a long time. The locals mostly went to the stall area, because there they would buy and sell with each other. I also buy some used goods and some small toys.
Tourists tend to go to the food area and distant entertainment areas. Of course, some tourists will also go to the secondhand stalls to see what they can find that they like. As mentioned before , it is very troublesome for Americans to deal with used goods.
You can't throw them away casually, and you have to write instructions when throwing them at the garbage station, so they prefer to give these used goods directly to the homeless. But as of now, there are no homeless people in Winthrop, so trading with each other is also a good idea. s Choice.
After Jiang Hai released the blue dragon, he was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, he went directly to the food stall. Although Jiang Hai had all kinds of delicious food at home, he was still very interested in street snacks. (To be continued.)
