Chapter 366: Start treating the eel

In less than an hour and a half.

Li Duoyu's fishing boat returned to the pier of Xiasha Village, Dandan Island.

After the boat docked.

He woke up the sleeping Shitou.

After Shitou woke up, he rubbed his eyes and was still a little confused: "Brother Yu, are you ready to go back to the island?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "We are already at Dandan Island."

"Ah."

Shitou was very surprised. He stood up suddenly and looked out the window. He found that he really returned to the pier of Dandan Island.

"Oh my god, so fast, I woke up after a nap and arrived on the island."

Shitou looked at his watch: "Didn't you say that you would leave in the afternoon?"

"I finished the things early, so I came back first. What? You still want to stay in Rongcheng, right? Do you want to buy something?"

"No, I can't wait to come back early."

Shitou did want to buy something, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. It is estimated that even if he bought it, the other party might not accept it. At that time, it would be even more embarrassing.

"There are still a few steamed buns, do you want to eat them?"

Shitou grinned and said, "Brother Yu, how much did the steamed buns cost?"

"One big unity."

Shitou was stunned: "Brother Yu, can you give it a discount, fifty cents is okay."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Fifty cents is definitely not okay, these steamed buns are for you to eat."

"I was scared to death, I thought Brother Yu was going to rob me, I definitely won't give money, but if it's rape, I can consider it."

Li Duoyu waved his hand in disdain:

"It's so disgusting, hurry up and leave."

Shitou sniffed the blanket that had just covered him, He smiled and said, "Brother Yu, I'll take the blanket back. When the time comes, I'll have my mother wash it and return it to you."

Li Duoyu suddenly got goosebumps and asked, "Shitou, something is wrong with you. Don't you like Shanshan?"

"How could I like Shanshan? I prefer someone like you, Brother Yu, who is handsome and rich. Not only is he the village director, but he can also protect me."

"Get out, get out."

Shitou smiled happily. He walked out of the cab with the blanket in his arms. When he saw a snakeskin bag on the deck, he smelled a familiar smell and went up to smell it.

"Brother Yu, what's in this bag? It smells so familiar. It looks like I've eaten it before."

"Isn't it written on it?"

Shitou scratched his head: "My sister-in-law didn't teach me these two words. I really can't understand them."

Li Duoyu rolled his eyes and said, "You must have skipped classes recently because you've been on night shift. This thing is betel nut. We used it to treat worms and flatworms when we were young."

Shitou's "flower" couldn't help but tighten, and some dead memories were instantly revived.

"No wonder it tastes so familiar. Damn, after eating this, the worms will move around when they are pulled out."

"Yes, that's it."

Li Duoyu glanced at the betel nut. In fact, this thing is a very good Chinese medicinal material with many functions. It can not only repel worms, refresh the mind, lower blood pressure, but also promote appetite.

Unfortunately, this thing is more terrible than cigarettes. Once you eat too much, it is very addictive and has certain toxicity.

Chewing for a long time may cause a not very friendly disease. Li Duoyu had seen a late-stage patient in his previous life. It was quite scary. Half of his face was gone. He couldn't eat and had to feed liquid food directly into his stomach.

"Brother Yu, are you going to move these herbs to the eel factory? Let me help you."

"Sure, help me move the things, and I won't charge you the ten yuan."

"That's fine."

When Shitou had just got off the boat, Lao Lu, who was about to go out to sea to fish, couldn't help asking: "Shitou, how much did you sell the last pound of yellow croaker for last night?"

"About one yuan per pound."

Lao Lu's eyes widened: "Fuck, yellow croaker is so expensive now, no, I have to get a net too."

Hearing that yellow croaker is now one yuan per pound, the fishermen who were about to go out to sea were all excited and ready to catch yellow croaker.

Seeing this scene, Li Duoyu couldn't help but smile bitterly, guessing that this was the reason why yellow croaker was almost extinct.

Next. Li Duoyu borrowed a cart from Lao Chen from the second-hand fishing tackle shop at the dock and pulled five bags of Chinese herbs to the eel factory in one go.

After seeing this, Chen Wenchao, the second brother and the second sister-in-law rushed to the dock to help, nearly twenty bags of herbs.

They finished the job in two trips. The most amazing one was the second sister-in-law, who carried a bag on her shoulder and held a bag in each arm, and walked faster than them.

Shi Tou couldn't help but tremble when he saw this scene. He had heard about Zhu Xiuhua's ability before.

After seeing it for real, he realized how terrifying this woman was. For a man as thin as him, this woman would probably hold him like a chicken. Maybe she could hold one in each hand.

Seeing that Li Duoyu bought so many Chinese medicines, Zhu Xiuhua couldn't help but ask curiously: "Duoyu, what do you buy so many herbs for?"

"To feed the fish."

Zhu Xiuhua was stunned: "Do fish take Chinese medicine? These herbs are very expensive. If you feed them to fish, you will lose a lot of money."

"Also, what happened to the eels recently? Why are there always dead fish?"

Li Duoyu sighed: "There is no way. Eels are really difficult to raise. Just like people, they will get sick and need to take medicine. If you are not careful, you will lose your pants."

Li Duoyu naturally knew what the second sister-in-law wanted to ask. He said this deliberately for her to hear, hoping that she would know her own weight.

However, thinking about it, it should be impossible. If these two sentences could persuade her, it would not be her Zhu Xiuhua.

The second sister-in-law's attention was now focused on these Chinese medicinal materials. She even leaned over to Li Yaoguo and said, "Yaoguo, I can't read. Please help me remember what is written on these medicinal materials."

"You can remember it yourself, I don't understand either."

"Keep your voice down, you're going to die, right?"

Li Duoyu didn't bother to care about her. After all, he planned to fire his second sister-in-law after the eels were shipped, but it would be useless even if she knew about these medicinal ingredients.

Traditional Chinese medicine is a very complex thing. Even if the medicinal materials are the same, the dosage of each medicinal material is different, and the effects produced are also different.

Moreover, every time you treat an eel, you have to slowly test the medicine, which is not achieved overnight.

The reason why Li Duoyu knew this treatment method was that he learned it from an eel doctor.

The eels in the eel factory where he worked had an outbreak of ringworm, and drug resistance had developed, making it impossible to cure it with the usual drugs.

Finally, he chose the path of traditional Chinese medicine treatment, and the eel doctor saw that he was an old man, relatively unsophisticated, and uneducated, so he asked him to help.

Li Duoyu, who was idle and bored, learned it casually. He thought he would never need it in this life, but he didn't expect to use it in this world.

After Li Duoyu came to the eel pond, he found that there were many eels swimming wildly on the surface of the pond in broad daylight, just like water snakes.

Ringworm infection, resulting in mania.

Moreover, the activity of silver carp mixed with eels has become very poor, and all of them are breathing with their mouths open on the surface of the water.

Under normal circumstances, eels cannot be seen during the day. If mania occurs even during the day, it already indicates that the eel is seriously infected.

When eels suffer from this disease, large eels often die first, and the last survivors are small eels.

Moreover, the mortality rate of this disease is extremely high. It only takes a week from the onset of the disease to the peak of the disease, and often you are not even given time for treatment.

Li Duoyu frowned and asked Chen Wenchao and his second brother, "Has the water been changed?"

Chen Wenchao nodded and said, "Change it. All the water in the ponds has been changed in the past two days."

Li Duoyu sighed.

The situation is not optimistic!

If there is no improvement after changing the water, there may be other reasons. Maybe there is also a problem with the bottom environment of the pond.

"Xiao Chao, second brother and second sister-in-law, please help me pick up all the eels swimming on the water and put them in a small pond for temporary cultivation."

"Also, catch some eels at the bottom of the pond and separate them from those swimming wildly on the surface."

Li Duoyu poured out part of the Chinese medicinal materials from the snakeskin bag and ground each Chinese medicinal material into powder separately.

Then, a pot of water was boiled.

The Chinese medicinal materials ground into powder are mixed according to a certain proportion and then simmered repeatedly.

The second sister-in-law, who was helping to catch eels, kept looking in the direction of Li Duoyu. She was so anxious that she missed her step and almost fell into the pond.

Fortunately, he grabbed Li Yaoguo's pants before he fell.

Li Yaoguo, who was wearing red underpants and with a cold butt, pulled her up first and said angrily:

"Can you catch fish well? Don't watch it. You won't learn it even if you watch it. You should give up. This thing is too difficult and you can't raise it."

"Who said that? How will you know if you don't try."

"It's up to you. When the time comes, just don't come to me crying."
