351. Chapter 348 Sea Elves
The waves hit the sampan, making a clapping sound. Li Duoyu bent down to clean the attachments on the cylindrical float.
These seaweeds, mussels, and oysters all grow under the float. If you want to clean them, the most efficient way is to pull the float to the sampan, shovel them clean, and then put them back into the sea.
The floats of this era are made of plastic foam. When cleaning the attachments on them, a little more movement will cause a large amount of small white foam to be shoveled off and float everywhere.
In the previous life, if the "sea dog" saw this, he would definitely be fined. In the previous life, they were not allowed to use black and white plastic foam, and could only use environmentally friendly plastic inflatable floats.
The price is a bit expensive, but there is also an advantage, that is, the attachments are obviously reduced, and it is relatively easier to clean.
Li Duoyu shoveled less than 20 cylindrical floats, and the sampan was already full of various mussels, oysters and seaweed.
There are also many bean crabs crawling around. These crabs are very small, just like beans, and often parasitize in mussel shells.
Many people buy mussels and cook them in soup. After breaking them open, they find small crabs that are boiled red inside. These are bean crabs.
In addition to bean crabs, there are also larger crabs. Since there are so many types of crabs in the sea, Li Duoyu can't name many of them.
Erbaiwu has been pinched by crabs before, so even if the crabs are very small, it is still very cautious, but it will still tease them.
The end is naturally the chin, and several small crabs are hung. Although the claws are small, the dog's chin is very sensitive, and it still hurts it.
Seeing that it doesn't remember, Li Duoyu thinks it's interesting to have two small crabs hanging on its chin, so he simply lets it feel pain for a while and then helps it take it off.
Li Duoyu picked up the shovel and shoveled all the attachments on the buoys in the boat into the sea, leaving only the large mussels and conchs.
Next.
Li Duoyu spent more than two hours cleaning more than a hundred floating balls.
Because he had been bending over all the time, Li Duoyu hammered his waist and found that it was really sore. Even a body in his twenties could not stand this.
Li Duoyu took a break and looked at the watch on his left hand. What he didn't expect was that the time displayed on it was still eleven o'clock.
Li Duoyu, who felt that he had been at sea for a long time, felt something was wrong. He looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and found that the sun had set a little.
Judging from the position of the shadow, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon.
Li Duoyu carefully observed the watch and found that there were some tiny water droplets in it. It seemed that water had entered.
Li Duoyu then remembered that when he was working before, he put his watch into the sea water without paying attention.
This watch is just a cheap rough horse watch. It is not waterproof at all. If you want to repair it, you have to take it to the town.
This rough horse watch was the first smuggled goods he got. He has worn it for many years, but it is broken, and Li Duoyu is too lazy to repair it.
Li Duoyu unscrewed the military water cup he carried with him and found that there was not even a drop of water in it.
He licked his lips.
He found that it was already dry and cracked.
He arrived at the kelp field at nine o'clock in the morning and has been busy until now, but he has only cleaned less than three hundred floating balls.
His efficiency is already very high, but he can only handle about sixty in an hour.
Thinking of more than ten thousand floating balls, Li Duoyu couldn't help but have a headache. This is not a workload that one person can complete.
Thinking of these things, which are usually done by Lao Li, Li Duoyu suddenly felt very guilty and distressed.
Lao Li is also fifty-five this year.
People reach fifty.
Physical fitness will decline a lot, both physical strength and energy will be much worse than before.
Li Duoyu didn't want him to continue to do so much work, but with his father's personality, he really couldn't get him to do it.
For Lao Li, if you don't let him work, it's no different from throwing him in prison, even if you don't let him manage kelp and oysters.
He will immediately run to cast the net to catch fish.
Many people born in their generation have been through hardships and have long been accustomed to the days of opening their eyes and going to work every day.
There is even no such thing as a weekend. To put it bluntly, not letting him work is more painful than killing him.
But Li Duoyu has recently thought of a way to deal with him, that is, to recruit a few employees for him to manage and let him be a foreman.
As long as he becomes a foreman, it is not so easy to work. After all, managing the miscellaneous things of employees is enough for him to have a headache, and there is no room for him to work at all.
It just so happens that the kelp is about to be harvested. There are a lot of kelp planted on Dandan Island this year, and the harvesting staff must be very tight.
In the past, relatives were asked to help, but this year many relatives are farming kelp.
If there is less good weather, everyone will squeeze in those few days to harvest kelp, and then relatives can't be counted on.
If a few employees are recruited in advance, then there will be no rush.
With the expansion of the scale of the breeding industry, the current employees of Minlong Food are indeed unable to turn around, and it is very necessary to recruit employees.
The subsequent reclamation will also cost a lot of money. Although Dandan Island is full of stones, the manpower and material costs required to transport the stones are definitely not a small amount.
Ten or twenty thousand is the minimum.
With such a large investment, no fishermen on Dandan Island are willing to do it, but Li Duoyu thinks it is very cost-effective. As long as you enclose the tidal flats, it is equivalent to laying a foundation on it, and this land will be yours in the future.
After the pond is enclosed, it can be used for many purposes, such as blue crabs, marine fish, and even shrimps.
In short, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
Li Duoyu sat on the sampan boat and rested for a while. When he was about to return to the dock, he heard a familiar squeaking sound.
Looking around, not far away, there is a group of white dolphins swimming quickly.
After hearing the squeaking sound, Erbai Wu instantly became excited and called several times in the direction of the dolphins.
Unexpectedly, the white dolphins actually responded. After a while, two white dolphins swam to the kelp field.
Two Hundred and Five was spinning around on the boat excitedly, barking at the looming white dolphins in the sea.
The white dolphin also spit out water and circled in the kelp field. Then it dived into the water and bit a starfish.
Since the sampan was a bit high, the dolphin could not pass the starfish in its mouth to Erbai Wu.
Make it scream anxiously.
Li Duoyu felt that the dolphin in front of him was most likely the same little dolphin he played with when he was a child.
I didn’t expect that more than a year would pass.
Erbaiwu and it have grown so big, and they still maintain a cross-species friendship.
Seeing that the white dolphin was so anxious that it vomited water, Li Duoyu picked up the starfish and patted the white dolphin on the way and touched its head.
Slippery and soft.
It feels quite comfortable.
White dolphins are gray when they are young, and become whiter as they grow older. If they swim for a long time, their blood vessels will become congested, making them look pink.
Locals occasionally call them "red pigs".
Seeing how close they were to each other, Li Duoyu really wanted to give the white dolphin a good physical examination to see if it was male or female.
If it's a mother.
Li Duoyu didn't even plan to send the black girl to the fishing raft. After all, he couldn't be the sinner who broke up a cross-species love.
While Li Duoyu was playing with the white dolphin, another white dolphin also popped its head in the water and kept looking at him with its small eyes.
Seeing that he kept looking at him, Li Duoyu also looked at it curiously. He had fed the white dolphin many times in the past two years.
But for Li Duoyu, they all look the same. If it is the same dolphin, if there are no marks on its body, it will definitely not be recognized the next day.
After all, he doesn't have a dog's nose and can remember their smell.
"Brother Dolphin, do we know each other?"
As soon as Li Duoyu spoke to it, the dolphin immediately made a sound.
Li Duoyu frowned. He didn't know how to communicate with these white dolphins. He could only pry two large mussels and throw the meat inside.
Li Duoyu just threw it over.
The white dolphin immediately opened its mouth, swallowed the mussel meat in one gulp, and then spun around happily.
See, it also knows how to perform.
Li Duoyu, who found it quite interesting, pried a lot of mussels for it to eat, and even the dolphin that was playing with Erbaiwu ran over and poked its head to wait for food.
When Erbaiwu saw this, he also held an unopened mussel in his mouth, wanting to give it to his friend.
After being thrown into the sea.
The white dolphin took two bites and then spit it out immediately.
This scene made Li Duoyu couldn't help but laugh. These two species really can hurt each other, and what they give each other are deadly things.
After a while, all the mussels that Li Duoyu shoveled down were eaten by them.
Li Duoyu stroked a white dolphin with one hand, which felt inexplicably refreshing.
After the dolphin family made a sound of urging, the two white dolphins circled the sampan twice and left reluctantly.
Li Duoyu really likes this kind of sea elf, but in the near future, with more and more fishing boats, all kinds of sticky nets will cover the entire offshore sea.
The number of white dolphins will also decrease year by year, and it is not known whether this family will suffer.
The white dolphin is a very spiritual marine creature. Li Duoyu in his previous life once watched a short video. After the baby white dolphin died unexpectedly, the mother of the white dolphin floated in the sea for seven days carrying the baby's body.
When he was finally rescued to the aquarium, he passed away in less than four days due to physical and mental reasons.
Li Duoyu didn't know what he could do for them.
However, if he is really capable in the future, he can fight for a safe habitat for this white dolphin group. (End of chapter)
