350. Chapter 347: Stop Messing with the Water Layer.

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

In the past life, there was indeed a farmer whose pond collapsed, and tens of thousands of eels ran into the river. They were all caught by the villagers downstream of the river. They couldn't get them back, and not only did they lose their pants, but they also owed the bank a lot of money.

There are several things to be solved now. The first thing is that the second sister-in-law is very good at doing things, and the eel factory is also well managed.

But it is obvious that she is secretly learning the breeding technology. Such people, even if they are relatives, are 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 is sold.

When the next eel breeding is carried out, the second brother will be recruited back alone. After all, he is still very practical. As for the second sister-in-law, if I guess correctly, she will probably work alone.

Li Duoyu sighed. In fact, even if the second sister-in-law learned all the current eel farming techniques, it would be useless.

Li Duoyu was very lucky in this eel farming. He only had indigestion caused by feed problems, and no other symptoms appeared.

The reason why eels are difficult to raise is not just talk, but it is really difficult to raise. There were special eel doctors in the past.

If there is a problem, nine out of ten people have to pay them to treat the eels.

What bacterial infection after debonding.

Gill rot caused by spore worms and ringworms.

Liver erosion caused by Edwardsiosis.

There are also Ichthyophthirius, nail worms, sepsis, madness, etc.

And farming eels cannot wait for it to get sick before dealing with it. All symptoms must be prevented in advance.

Once the signs appear.

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

In short, in this era when broad-spectrum antibiotics are not popular, it is not a simple matter to raise eels well.

What Li Duoyu is more worried about now is that the second sister-in-law must not think that she is so "powerful", otherwise she, who is half-baked, will really screw people over if she goes out to work alone.

But Li Duoyu also has his own little calculations. If the second sister-in-law leads others into the trap, and when they fail, he will take over at a low price, which means he will make a profit for nothing.

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 feeling a little scared.

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

When they were still street urchins, Brother Yu was also very scary, but that kind of fear was completely different from the current one.

In the past, at most I would be beaten up by him, but now Brother Yu is even more terrifying. If you really provoke him, the end will definitely be miserable.

No young people on Dandan Island dare to go against him, because those who go against him are either sent to the Fourth Hospital or locked up.

Sometimes, his grandma would talk nonsense, saying that Li Duoyu might be the reincarnation of the seventh son of the dragon, Bi'an.

Because Bi'an is not only the patron saint of fishermen, but also symbolizes prison. Li Duoyu just changed his temper and sent many people on the island to prison, which is completely consistent.

"Xiao Chao, did you get heatstroke? Why is your forehead still full of sweat?" Li Duoyu asked.

"No, it's just that these dogs are too attached to me. I sweated when playing with them."

"I didn't expect you to like dogs so much. Do you want me to give you one?"

"No need, Brother Yu, I can play with them at the eel factory."

"Then you take a look at the eel factory. I'm going to check out the kelp and oysters."

"No problem."

After leaving the eel factory, Li Duoyu came to the dock and spent thirty cents to buy a big bone stick, ready to take it to the fishing raft to grind his teeth.

Xiao Jin was the one who was in charge of the butcher shop today. When he saw Li Duoyu, he hurriedly asked, "Village chief, I saved some money. Have you gone fishing in the open sea recently?"

"Yes, you can go find Shuguang, but you may have to change boats soon. The round trip time to the open sea can be reduced by more than three hours, and everyone can fish for two or three more hours, but the price of the fishing spot will also increase."

Xiao Jin was surprised and said, "How much will it increase?"

"Maybe fifty yuan."

Xiao Jin said with a bitter face, "But I only saved more than thirty yuan, it's not enough."

Li Duoyu Xiaoxiao: "It's okay. If you don't have enough money, you can use the fish you catch to pay for it."

Xiao Jin scratched his head: "What if I don't catch anything? My father wants me to be 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 catch a fool."

Xiao Jin hesitated for a while, and then said: "Okay, then I'll go find Brother Shuguang and try to go fishing with you next time."

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

Since he had a fishing boat, Li Duoyu felt that the frequency of use of sampans has obviously decreased, but for kelp fields and oyster fields, sampans are the most useful.

Although fishing boats are good, they also have a strong draft, and it is troublesome to get on and off the boat. You have to ask the dock staff to row a small boat to take you to the boat.

Sampans are relatively simple. As long as it is not a big ebb tide, the boat will come over as soon as the rope is pulled, and you can go out to sea at any time.

After Li Duoyu got on the boat, he went straight to the fishing raft. Just like before, he was already as anxious as an idiot before the boat even got close.

Because he had been bitten when he went into the sea before, Erbai Wu did not 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 directly over it, but instead of chewing the bone as usual, Erbaiwu kept sniffing at Li Duoyu's body.

It became irritable and restless, and even made a "hum hum" sound. Depending on the situation, it had been suffocated by staying on the fishing raft for too long.

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

"Woof~"

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

"Woof woof~" After a while, Li Duoyu went to gnaw on the big bones. Li Duoyu took a look at the cage. He thought that a lot of the 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 with a net.

Li Duoyu was 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 will take you to the island once and 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 kelp wants to grow well,

The battle 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.

At that time, there will be several more households worth ten thousand yuan on the island, and at the same time, there will be a large number of red-eye patients.

Li Duoyu picked up a small shovel and cleaned up all kinds of 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 balls like this.

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

And at this time.

A sampan boat arrived at Li Duoyu's breeding field. An old man wearing a bamboo hat greeted him:

“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 here 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 inspect it, and found that his kelp field was really clean.

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

But 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 others.

There were obvious scratch marks on the leaves. He had never seen anything like this in all his years of raising kelp.

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 kelp is stuck to the sand, it will not be easy to grow?"

"How often do you wash the kelp?"

"A week."

The corners of Li Duoyu's mouth twitched, and he finally understood why there were scratches on these kelp.

It was obvious that Lao Hu was over-eating and over-maintaining himself.

But if the maintenance is transitional, the surface will be scratched at most, and it will not 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 season, 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.

"They are all watered to death by you gardeners who have to water them every day. You are over-managing."

Li Duoyu sighed: "Next, you can learn whatever I do. Don't just stare at the kelp field all day long to see if you know."

Old 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 back.

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

Old Hu was surprised and said, "How much can it be sold for export?"

Li Duoyu thought for a while and replied, "This matter is led by the Fisheries Bureau. The specific price has not been announced yet. In short, the price given by Xiaorizi will definitely be much higher than selling it to local people."

"That's good."

Before leaving, Li Duoyu emphasized, "Don't adjust the water layer anymore, you know, otherwise when summer comes, your kelp may rot." (End of this chapter)
