Chapter 487 Chenjia Village Banquet (7000 words)

Because this kelp farmer named Chen Ji did not bring the diseased kelp sample.

Although through his description, I have roughly guessed what the disease is.

But for the sake of caution, Li Duoyu still followed him to the sea area where he raised kelp.

From the geographical environment, the sea area around Chenjia Village is too shallow and not very suitable for raising kelp.

Normal offshore islands are deep on one side and shallow on the other side, and Chenjia Village belongs to the shallow side.

At low tide, at least half a mile of beach can be exposed, which is also the reason why Chenjia Village was developed into a tourist village in the previous life.

But such a geographical environment is not so friendly if you want to raise kelp. You need a sea area of ​​at least 8 meters deep to raise kelp.

15~25 meters is the most suitable.

Although the sea water is very deep, it is actually not as deep as imagined. For example, the average depth of the Bohai Sea is about 18 meters.

If the farmers in Chenjia Village want to grow kelp, they have to grow it in deeper waters, at least three miles away, to find a suitable sea area for breeding.

Li Duoyu drove a fishing boat to the kelp field where Chen Ji was breeding. He didn't grow much kelp, only about ten acres.

At first glance, it was a typical kelp green rot disease, which is also the most common cause of kelp disease. Normally, it is caused by insufficient light and high water temperature.

Chen Ji smiled awkwardly: "I can only row a sampan. If it is too far, it is difficult for my sampan to row over, so I chose a closer one."

Then he put on gloves and pulled the kelp pile hard. Unexpectedly, he really pulled up the kelp pile.

Li Duoyu didn't even know how to talk to this farmer. When he met such a person, he was too lazy to preach.

Li Duoyu had simply calculated that the profit per acre of kelp in Chenjia Village was about 30 yuan less than that in Xiasha Village.

No matter what era, there are many such cheap people. As long as it is free, even if they don't need so much, they will try to take as much as possible.

Li Duoyu smiled. In theory, this kind of rotten kelp can be eaten after drying.

The tip of the kelp leaf becomes very green and feels very soft. The outer layer of kelp membrane falls off and begins to rot.

However, this large-scale shallow sea is not only bad. It is very suitable for breeding various shellfish.

"You have grown these kelp too densely. You have to deal with it quickly. In this way, they can't grow big. They block each other and can't get sunlight."

"I haven't tried this. If you want to try it, you can try it."

He rarely smokes, but he couldn't help but smoke a cigarette.

Seeing that Li Duoyu was a little angry, the farmer named Chen Ji whispered: "Director Li, what should I do with my kelp field?"

But he really didn't know whether the kelp that grew so big could be hung on the kelp rope and continue to grow after being removed.

Li Duoyu frowned, but was too lazy to point it out. This farmer named Chen Ji probably didn't have that many kelp fields, but he falsely reported the number of acres and took more kelp seedlings.

But the sea water temperature has been OK recently, not very high, which can be said to be the safe period for kelp, and it can't be caused by this.

Chen Ji smiled awkwardly: "Forget it, I'll collect some first and dry them. It should still be edible."

Li Duoyu continued to check his kelp, and found a lot of problems. He took out a long bamboo pole and poked the seabed.

In fact, when he just pulled it up, Li Duoyu already knew the cause of the green rot.

The farmer named Chen Ji replied: "I know, but at that time, I miscalculated the number of acres and took 15 acres of kelp seedlings, so I took a little more."

Li Duoyu sighed heavily. Farming is not a joke. This farmer saved money in all the places where he shouldn't save money, and he didn't save money in the most important places.

It was too far from the dock of their village, and the management cost, time cost, labor cost, including diesel cost, rose instantly.

Looking at the kelp in front of him, Li Duoyu was quite speechless: "I remember emphasizing to you that when clipping seedlings, kelp seedlings should not be placed so densely."

Seeing that the bottom of the bamboo pole brought up all fine sand, Li Duoyu went directly to the end of the kelp rope.

After pulling up the kelp rope, Li Duoyu simply checked it and found that almost all of these kelp had problems.

It was a combination of many factors. If kelp farming can get 100 points, this farmer named Chen Ji probably can't even get 20 points.

Li Duoyu raised his eyebrows. He really hated being interrupted when he was speaking seriously.

Li Duoyu sighed.

"Who gave you this pile?"

For example, there is no problem with clams, triangle shells, sea mussels, bamboo clams, etc., but the people in Chenjia Village don't seem to have mastered this farming technology and currently don't know how to develop this sea area.

I have seen bad farmers, but I have never seen such a bad one.

Chen Ji interrupted and asked: "Can the kelp seedlings that have been picked be tied to other places for breeding?"

But as soon as he approached, Li Duoyu smelled a stinky seawater smell, which was the smell of rotting algae.

In the past life, some more unscrupulous farmers would sell this kind of problematic kelp with hairy vegetables, and some would boil it in boiling water and make salted kelp.

Chen Ji grinned and scratched his head and said: "Piling is too expensive. I drove these piles with my relatives."

The bamboo pole had only gone down two-thirds of the way when it had already reached the bottom and could not go down any further.

"Your breeding area is too shallow. Didn't I tell you that it must be at least eight meters above sea level? Even if the tide rises, your breeding area will only be six or seven meters at most."

Li Duoyu hasn't finished speaking yet.

"well."

The entire kelp rope was so heavy that I was almost pulled back into the sea by the kelp rope.

After Li Duoyu pulled up a kelp rope for inspection, he frowned on the spot. There were barnacles, mussels and various seaweeds on the floating ball and kelp rope.

Li Duoyu frowned and thought, it would be a bit difficult to make up for it.

At this time, many kelp farmers discovered Li Duoyu and sailed their boats over.

"Director Li, this kelp field is probably hopeless."

Li Duoyu thought for a while and replied: "You should clean up the barnacles first, and remove all the barnacles that are seriously rotten, and add a floating ball every ten meters."

"I understand. I'll take care of it immediately. Get rid of all the barnacles and mussels, as well as all the extra kelp, right?"

Seeing that his words were interrupted again, Li Duoyu said with a dark face: "Listen to me, okay?"

Chen Ji didn't dare to speak for a moment.

Li Duoyu continued: "In these kelp fields, you not only need to readjust the breeding water layer, but also reinforce all the kelp piles.

Also, you kelp, I just took a look at it and found signs of insect bites. You need to deal with it quickly, otherwise you will attract water lice from nearby, and those who grow kelp nearby may suffer along with you. "

The kelp farmers who were watching were all panicked when they heard that they might be affected.

"Lao Ji, hurry up and do it. If the kelp I raise is also affected by you, I will definitely settle the score with you."

Someone complained: "I told you a long time ago that your kelp rope is full of barnacles and is about to sink to the bottom of the sea. You just don't deal with it."

Chen Ji scratched his head and looked apologetic: "I'm really busy during the Chinese New Year, so I forgot to clean it up. I'll clean it up right away tomorrow."

"It's not tomorrow. Every time I tell you something, you have tomorrow. Who knows how many tomorrows you have. If you have time today, hurry up and do it."

"You are really weird. You took out a loan to raise kelp, but you don't raise it well. You came up with spare money too quickly, and you still think prison food is better."

Chen Ji wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Okay, I will immediately ask my relatives to help today. I will reshape the kelp as Director Li said."

"Hurry up, don't drag everyone down."

After helping Li Duoyu look at the kelp, he originally planned to go back to the eel factory, but he didn't expect that the kelp farmers in Chenjia Village would come to him for advice on kelp farming.

"Director Li, please come to my kelp field and take a look. There seems to be something wrong with my kelp."

There are also several people here who have been to the Meizhou Island Ancestral Temple with him, and they are relatively familiar with them.

Li Duoyu felt that he had already come here, so he just helped to see how their kelp farming was going.

After all, if they raise it well, they can collect more first-class kelp, and then make another amount of money.

In a sea area not far from this kelp field, Li Duoyu picked up the kelp with a bamboo pole and explored the bottom with the bamboo pole.

"Your oceans are generally well maintained, but the water depth is still too shallow. The kelp is less than one meter now, so it's not a big problem.

But in April and May, when the kelp is two to three meters long, you need to pay a little more attention. By then, the kelp will be heavier, so you will need to add more floats and the water layer will need to be raised.

Don't let the kelp drag down the bottom, otherwise the bottom will easily rot and be eaten by insects, and then the price will not be high. "

"Director Li, when you say that, I understand."

The farmer named Chen Shuiqiao was full of praise and said: "You are indeed professional, but it is different. You are even better than that boy Chen Dongqing."

Li Duoyu smiled. This man was really right. He was much better than his brother-in-law in kelp farming technology.

"Duoyu, go take a look at mine. It seems that the kelp I raise is growing slower than others. I don't know why."

The second farmer is Chen Awang, who is Uncle Tai’s eldest son. Logically speaking, he is still a relative of their family.

Li Duoyu checked it carefully, frowned slightly and said: "Brother Wang, you can handle the depth of the water, and the overall health is very good."

"But the flow is in the wrong direction. The direction of our kelp cultivation is opposite to the ocean current. Your kelp follows the ocean current."

Li Duoyu gestured with his hands on the spot: "If you raise it like this, when the ocean current comes, the kelp will be all piled up on top of each other, and it will not be able to stretch out at all. The sunlight will not reach it, so it will definitely not grow well."

Chen Awang asked anxiously: "What should we do? Is there any remedy?"

Li Duoyu hesitated for a moment: "If you change it now, it will definitely be too late. The workload of the project is too large, and the harvest will definitely be a little worse, but it won't be much worse. This will be the case this year. When you raise kelp next year, you must Change the direction."

"Duoyu, thank you."

Li Duoyu frowned and said, "Your father should understand. How could you make this mistake?"

Chen Awang sighed: "Duoyu, you probably don't know. The year before last, when my father lost money raising kelp, I had a quarrel with him. We haven't spoken to each other yet."

Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly and did not intend to delve deeper into this issue.

Li Duoyu came to the last one named Chen Xingguo and found that the kelp was growing very well, no worse than what he had grown.

Li Duoyu couldn't help but praise: "You are good at raising kelp. You raise it better than me."

"It's all Director Li's teaching. I just follow your teaching."

After hearing this, Li Duoyu was stunned. It seemed that he really didn't keep all the knowledge about kelp farming.

This thing is really like teaching. You teach things, but whether they can learn and understand depends on the individual.

Students are good and bad, and the same is true for farmers. Almost every farmer grows different kelp.

The same rice feeds a hundred kinds of people, and the same implementation standard, due to different executors, the results are also varied.

After visiting the kelp fields of seven or eight farmers in a row, Li Duoyu tried his best to point out the problems in their kelp farming process.

He even told them about the problems that might occur in the next few months. Li Duoyu has always been fully open to kelp farming technology. As long as someone asks, he will answer seriously.

After spending three or four hours to visit the kelp fields in Chenjia Village, Li Duoyu wanted to go directly back to the eel factory.

Because he was called out suddenly, he still had a lot of things to explain clearly, but he didn't expect that the people in Chenjia Village were very enthusiastic and directly "carried" him back to the village, saying that they would treat him to a good meal.

"Go directly to my house to eat." Chen Awang said enthusiastically: "Just two days ago, I asked someone to brew a jar of rice wine."

After inviting Li Duoyu to his home, Chen Awang immediately shouted to the woman who was preparing to cook in the kitchen.

"Xiu Tao, Duoyu is here, hurry up and cook some side dishes, kill our duck, and serve braised duck meat."

Li Duoyu hurriedly said, "Keep it simple, don't be too polite."

Chen Awang said enthusiastically, "How can that be, Duoyu, how often do you come to our village? If I don't treat you well, the villagers will scold me to death."

Several other breeders followed suit and said, "Awang is right, to be honest, many people in our village are very grateful to you."

The news that Li Duoyu went to Chen Awang's house for dinner spread quickly. After hearing the news, Li Duoyu's cousin Liu Meifeng and cousin-in-law Zhang Dazhu rushed directly from the dock.

Liu Meifeng widened her eyes and said, "It's really Duoyu. Why don't you go to my house when you come to our village for dinner?"

Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly, and couldn't help complaining in his heart, "I didn't want to eat at all, I was forced to."

However, after seeing his cousin and cousin-in-law, Li Duoyu was inexplicably scared, really afraid that they would ask for money.

Although he is relatively wealthy now, he just doesn't want to lend money to others, especially to such relatives.

What Li Duoyu didn't expect was that more and more people came to see him, and many people who participated in the Mazu tour also came after hearing the news.

One was a small courtyard surrounded by stones, crowded with more than 20 people, all greeting Li Duoyu.

Some called him Director Li, some called him the boss, and some elders called him by name directly, all to thank him.

The people of Chenjia Village may not be very good to the people of Xiasha Village, but they really respect Li Duoyu from the bottom of their hearts.

After all, it was Li Duoyu who promoted the relationship between the two villages, and took them to engage in kelp farming. The recent tuna fishing also allowed their village to participate.

Many people have made a lot of money from tuna farming.

They also know that if Li Duoyu didn't help, their village would definitely be very difficult now, and it would still be the last one in Shangfeng Town.

But two months ago, according to statistics, Chenjia Village has gotten rid of the title of the last one, and now ranks tenth in Shangfeng Town, advancing six places.

Seeing more and more people, Chen Awang laughed and scolded: "Why do you all come to eat for free? My family only has so many dishes. If you want to eat together, bring your own food."

Chen Shuiqiao said: "My family just made salted duck, I brought it over for everyone to drink."

"My family has salt fried peanuts."

"My family has dried sandworms, bring them to make soup for everyone."

"My family just caught a lot of fish balls, I will also bring them over."

A group of people went straight home to move things to Chen Awang's house to eat, and Li Duoyu was also shocked by their enthusiasm.

In the past, the two villages were at odds, and everyone always disliked each other, especially the Chenjia Village Council, who always thought that Li Duoyu was young and always tried to suppress him.

As a result, many people in the village had some opinions, and some even said that there was no benefit in reconciling with them, so they simply didn't reconcile.

But now, after further contact, Li Duoyu found that the people in Chenjia Village were actually the same as those in Xiasha Village.

Not as bad as they felt before. While toasting, several older people at the table couldn't help but sigh and talked about the grievances between the two villages for many years.

But when it comes to this, the people in Chenjia Village are also very aggrieved. They are considered the earliest aborigines of Dandan Island.

Xiasha Village moved in later, but after one or two hundred years, many lands and sea areas on the island were divided up by Xiasha Village.

What made them most angry was that the organization actually built the dock in Xiasha Village, which was also the reason for the frequent armed conflicts between the two villages later.

Because the people in Chenjia Village were angry, but they had no way to deal with it.

After drinking a bowl of rice wine, a middle-aged man said: "Duoyu, according to seniority, I am your mother's cousin."

"Hello, cousin."

The cousin was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "There is something. Can you please tell the generations in your family? We plan to go to your fifth uncle's grave to pay homage."

After hearing this, Li Duoyu was stunned on the spot. Even though he had been drinking, his mind was instantly clear.

The cousin continued: "We are really guilty about what happened back then. Although our two villages often fight, the incident only happened more than 20 years ago.

But it is really not what the old lady said. We really didn't kill him."

Li Duoyu suddenly became curious. He did hear a lot about his fifth uncle, but most of them said that he rushed to the front in the fight and was beaten to death by the people of Chenjia Village.

Another middle-aged man who was about the same age as his father said: "Your fifth uncle was only seventeen or eighteen years old at that time. He was full of blood and was incited by others. He rushed forward and was beaten by us. But your fifth uncle fell down and hit the stone. He was dead. He was not beaten to death by us."

After hearing this, Li Duoyu pondered for a while. He did not completely believe what they said.

Some things were not so important to him, but he really didn't expect that the fifth uncle trapped not only the old lady.

It seems that these people and the two villages have been trapped for a long time.

It can be said that the death of the fifth uncle was the fuse for the two villages to completely become enemies and never communicate with each other again.

It was also the fundamental reason for the deterioration of their relationship with the old lady.

Before the old lady passed away, although she suffered from Alzheimer's disease, when she was conscious, she actually told the third uncle and others that the descendants of the Li family could be allowed to worship and sweep the graves, but Chen Huiying was the only one who could not.

Speaking of this matter, Li Duoyu was also helpless. The old lady had a really bad temper and was very hard even until her death.

"I can't make the decision on this matter, but I can mention it to the elders in the family and see what they think."

"Duoyu, I'm sorry to bother you with this matter. I'll give you another bowl."

Li Duoyu quickly refused: "Uncle, I really can't drink any more. If you drink more, I'll have to drive the rocking boat when I go back later."

A middle-aged man with a red face from drinking said, "How do you rock like this? Is it hey-hoo hey-hoo?"

Cousin Liu Meifeng said disdainfully: "Don't talk nonsense. My Duoyu is famous for loving his wife. You are not like you, who are all so frivolous."

"Meifeng, when did it become your Duoyu? This is our big boss's family, okay."

At this time, an elder who had a say in Chenjia Village asked: "Director Li, there is something I want to ask, can we build a house in Beilanling?"

Li Duoyu frowned slightly and did not answer his question directly.

Chenjia Village has nice scenery and is very suitable for a tourism development zone. He also intends to move the two villages to Beilanling to create a new district.

Li Duoyu said reluctantly: "I don't have such plans for the time being, but I can ask the leader for instructions."

Although he really wants to bring everyone there, as an adult, he can't show his thoughts too obviously.

"If it can be built, I hope that when the time comes, I plan to build it there. Our village doesn't have a deep-water dock, and it's really inconvenient for large ships. Every time I have to paddle a bamboo raft to get on the boat, I have to climb the boat ladder to get on the boat.

For large items, you can only go to your village's dock. When the relationship was not good before, our village didn't dare to buy large items."

"That's right. Back then, because there was no dock, the ship carrying the diesel generator couldn't unload at all, and turned back directly, resulting in our village having no electricity."

Li Duoyu could feel that when they talked about the dock, they were all very resentful.

He really didn't expect that Chenjia Village had lost its diesel generator in this way.

However, for a fishing village, it is really important to have a deep-water wharf. For the inland, if you want to get rich, you must build roads first.

But for people like them who live by the sea, if you want to make money, you must build a wharf. In many cases, the size of the wharf in the fishing village can be used to judge whether the economy of the fishing village is good or not.

Many people came to toast, and they drank directly: "I'll drink it, you can do whatever you want."

Li Duoyu simply accompanied the wine. If he was "young", he would definitely drink to death in this atmosphere.

But now he is an old fox. In the wine field, he has long known how to control himself. Simply accompanying him will not make the other party lose face.

If he really meets the kind of person who insists on pouring him, Li Duoyu can immediately find someone to stop the wine and let the other party fight to the death.

Although this meal took a long time, Li Duoyu, who is good at raising goldfish, did not drink much wine from beginning to end.

Chen Awang drank a lot of wine and couldn't help saying, "Our two villages really need people like you, who can make money, help us make money, and don't look down on us."

"If it weren't for the rules, we really want to remove our village director and replace him with you."

Li Duoyu frowned and said, "Brother Wang, please don't say anything nonsense. If people know about it, I won't dare to come to your village."

"I'm not talking nonsense. Ask everyone if they have the same idea as me."

Several young people echoed, "Yes, we support what Brother Wang said."

Li Duoyu quickly changed the topic. Chenjia Village is different from Xiasha Village. After all, the elders of the clan have the final say.

Clans are very scary things. Young people like Awang may be more rebellious and think about rebellion.

But once they reach a certain age, they will naturally integrate into the clan group. At that time, they probably won't say such things anymore.

When Li Duoyu left Chenjia Village, he happened to pass by Chen Shujing's house. When he came last time, it was not so dilapidated.

When he came this time, one of the walls had collapsed. Judging from the situation, this house will not last for a few years.

This little girl is very well-behaved. She writes to Xiaoying every month to tell him the latest situation.

What's more pitiful is that she still doesn't know that her mother has passed away and her father has become a death row prisoner.

Thinking of this, Li Duoyu couldn't help but sigh. Family is really important in a person's life. If the family is destroyed and the people are gone, no matter how much money you make or how successful you are in the future, you can't make up for this shortcoming.

After Li Duoyu returned to the eel factory, he didn't expect that his second brother and others were still there, so he simply continued to arrange the next work.

Li Duoyu said to Qingguang: "Tell your cousin Liu Yun that if there are live shrimps, leave them all to me."

"Second brother, clear out the remaining two pools at the eel factory and use them to temporarily raise shrimps. Put a layer of sea sand on the bottom. After catching the caterpillars, let them spit out water for two days, then disinfect them with our special Chinese medicine, cut them and feed them to the shrimps."

Second brother Li Yaoguo looked surprised: "Duoyu, what are you planning to do?"

Because Qingguang and Shitou were still there, the second brother did not make his words very clear. Young people talk quickly, and there are some things that they don't need to know.

Li Duoyu nodded and went outside with his second brother: "My uncle and I are planning to jointly raise shrimps. You can't tell anyone outside about this. I am going to Hong Kong Island this time and I also plan to bring back a set of shrimp farming equipment."

Li Yaoguo was surprised: "Isn't the shrimp farming equipment very expensive? Do you have enough money?"

Li Duoyu narrowed his eyes and said: "If you pay for everything yourself, you can't develop. It would be best if the organization is willing to help me. If not, I will go to Hong Kong Island to get some investment."

Li Yaoguo was stunned. His brother's words suddenly opened his mind. It seemed that the first two fake Hong Kong Islanders who engaged in abalone farming were playing a trick of getting something for nothing.
