Chapter 498 Let’s Cultivate the Shrimp Fry First (1/2)

On the night that Li Duoyu came back, the family had constant visitors, including the first relatives and neighbors.

Li Duoyu gave some souvenirs, such as potato chips. Although these things are not very expensive, they are really not available in China.

The little fat boy started eating early, and Lao Li also tasted a bite and couldn't help saying, "Isn't this almost shrimp chips?"

After Lao Li said this, Li Duoyu realized that potato chips and shrimp chips are really similar. As far as he is concerned, shrimp chips are much more delicious than potato chips.

After a while, when I have some free time, I can make some shrimp chips myself.

And the children almost all circled around the robot that Li Duoyu bought. When the robot moved, the children became excited.

In this era, children's toys were pitifully few, and even the Friendship Store didn't sell such toys.

Li Duoyu racked his brains to recall. Li Duoyu couldn't remember other years, but this one in 1986 was definitely a big typhoon that would land on the coast of their province.

Brother-in-law Zhang Mingsheng couldn't help asking: "Duoyu, how much did you buy this toy for?"

Li Duoyu rolled his eyes and said: "You are a researcher, you don't know this, right? Eels like to burrow holes. If it's too bright, they will feel insecure."

After Chen Dongqing took the lighter, he clicked, opened the lid of the lighter, turned it, and the wick of the lighter started to burn.

After arriving at the eel factory, Li Duoyu could clearly feel that the temperature inside the factory was several degrees higher than outside.

Thinking of this, Li Duoyu couldn't help frowning. This year, the whole Shangfeng Town has raised a lot of kelp, and Xiasha Village has raised a lot. If it is destroyed by the typhoon, Xiasha Village may really return to the pre-liberation era.

This is the same with people.

Li Duoyu smiled: "Okay, you understand it at once, and you can draw inferences from one example. You are worthy of being a professional."

Following his second brother Li Yaoguo, Li Duoyu came to the two pools in the corner of the eel factory.

It is usually about twice the price of eel fry. When the market is good, the price of a local blackfish can even be sold for thirty or forty yuan.

In the past, many eel farmers did not have the conditions and technology to raise eel fry. They did not start with eel fry, but directly purchased this kind of blackfish from eel fry manufacturers.

The second brother Li Yaoguo said: "This shrimp seems to be not easy to raise. A few days ago, a diesel engine suddenly broke down. There was no problem with the eel fry, but many of these shrimp died."

Zhou Xiaoying said disdainfully: "I don't know who it is. When he was in Hong Kong Island, he slept like a dead pig every day."

"It's really amazing. The robot's hands can move and its eyes can glow."

"Yeah."

"This thing is good, much more convenient than matches." After saying that, Chen Dongqing directly smoked a cigarette and took two deep puffs.

This is also what fishermen and farmers hate the most. If they rush to harvest early and it doesn't come, they will feel like they have been fooled.

After hearing this, his uncle Chen Dongqing's eyes lit up: "Really, what technology did you learn and come back?"

Hearing the word typhoon, Li Duoyu's mouth twitched. Xiaoying was right. Typhoons are the lifelong enemy of coastal farmers.

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Farming is a very risky thing. I bought these equipment to reduce the risk."

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "The leader said that if my farming fails and I can't pay the money, I will go to the compound to be a chef to pay off the debt."

In the absence of temperature control equipment, Li Duoyu simply bought a boiler for boiling water and heated the breeding water manually, which is a complicated and tedious process.

Zhou Xiaoying whispered: "Duoyu, I mean if, what if your shrimp farm doesn't work out, what should we do?"

Seeing the jealous look on this guy's face, Li Duoyu didn't indulge him: "There's nothing we can do. Hong Kong Island is really great, the food is delicious, the girls are beautiful, and it's especially fun."

Almost all the fish rafts, net cages, kelp piles, including the breeding farm, were destroyed by the typhoon, and the insurance companies and fishermen suffered heavy losses.

Li Duoyu started to talk nonsense. He would not tell his uncle that he learned a lot of technology. This trip to Hong Kong Island taught the local farmers a lot of breeding technology.

By then, he will be in the newspaper in a different way, and his reputation as a kelp leader will probably become negative.

After hearing the price, everyone in the yard quieted down, and his brother-in-law Zhang Mingsheng's eyes widened.

Then, before the breeding season comes, lock them up in a small dark room alone so that they can do some shameful things.

Li Duoyu thought that if the typhoon could be harvested in advance this year, it would be better to harvest in advance. It would be better to earn less than to go against God.

He was a shy person and not so proactive. He would meet the new village party secretary at the next village committee meeting.

Li Duoyu ignored the small shrimp in the pond and looked directly at the pond with larger shrimps.

A child wanted to reach out to grab the robot, and his father hurriedly said: "Goudan, don't touch it. If you break it, your father can't afford to pay for it."

Li Duoyu frowned slightly: "Why do you smoke like a smoker?"

"Too busy, I forgot."

Li Duoyu remembered very clearly that the prison where they were imprisoned had many doors and windows blown out, and the wall was almost blown down.

Lying on his own bed, Li Duoyu couldn't help saying: "It's still my own bed, it's comfortable to sleep."

"There are so many things, I can't finish it in a short time, I will tell you slowly when I have time later."

So someone must be watching 24 hours a day. If you are careless, the eel fry might all be cooked. During the period of eel fry breeding, everyone was still quite nervous. The second brother Li Yaoguo, Chen Wenchao and his brother-in-law put down their work and were busy in the eel factory.

"I'll believe you even if I lie to you. I went to communicate with many farmers in Hong Kong Island this time and learned a lot of breeding experience. Now I am more confident in raising shrimp."

The two pools use seawater and the water level is relatively high. You can see that they are densely packed with living shrimps.

The eel factory must also be reinforced. The shrimp farm that is about to be built should simply spend more money and build it directly according to the typhoon resistance level.

Although Li Duoyu said this, he still took out a Zippo lighter from his pocket and threw it to him.

The price of black will be a little higher.

At that time, not only Fujian Province and Overseas Province will be affected, but even the neighboring Zhejiang Province will suffer.

There are thousands of kinds of people, some are tall, some are short, some are fat, and some are thin. It is difficult for two tall people to give birth to a short person.

The kerosene lamps on the island were almost all extinguished, and everyone left Li Duoyu's house.

The little fat man couldn't help asking: "Uncle, what is the name of this robot?"

"Yes, in a few years, it may be broadcast in our country."

Li Duoyu, who was wearing shorts, got up and found that Xiao Tutu had fallen asleep. When he was about to hug him, he found that he was holding his mother's arms tightly with both hands.

Li Duoyu did not continue to chat with his uncle, but checked the eel pond. After opening the colorful plastic cloth covering the pond, he checked the status of the eels.

It is actually very simple to select broodstock for breeding. Just select the strong and large ones.

"Damn it, didn't you have a lot of fun in Hong Kong Island?"

"But this time, I did a big thing." Li Duoyu whispered in the ear of his uncle Chen Dongqing.

Two single eyelids, his child will definitely not have double eyelids. If he has double eyelids, it is 100% done by the neighbor Wang.

Li Duoyu shook his head and said, "No, but Xiaoying did buy a toy for Wenwen, it seems to be a Disney princess."

At this time, the second brother Li Yaoguo came over and said, "Duoyu, Liu Yun has caught a lot of live shrimps for you these days, do you want to see it?"

Li Duoyu thought for a few seconds and replied, "This is a Transformer, named Optimus Prime."

"This thing is expensive. When I bought it, Xiaoying was heartbroken for a long time. I gave it to you directly, with kerosene."

Sometimes, even if the typhoon has reached the overseas province and is about to come, you can't guarantee that it will make a sudden turn for you.

The other set is responsible for burning the boiler to ensure that there is hot water in the boiler 24 hours a day.

Li Duoyu found that the second brother was really meticulous in doing things. He didn't even need him to say that he had already divided the shrimp into two pools according to the size.

There is a chimney in the eel factory that emits light white smoke, and this is not for cooking or anything like that, but for heating water.

Li Duoyu did not rush to the village committee, but went to the eel farm first.

There is actually no good way to fight against typhoons. The only thing that can be done is to rush to harvest in advance.

Later, after he was released from prison, he also heard that two ships capsized on the island that year, and several people died.

"Is there any cartoon about this?"

Zhou Xiaoying slapped his dog paw away: "Tutu is still holding me, can you please stop messing around?"

The uncle took out the pack of Chengfeng cigarettes in his pocket: "This pack of cigarettes was invited by Yaoguo to smoke. By the way, you have been to Hong Kong Island. Did you buy a few packs of good cigarettes back?"

When he woke up the next day.

Li Duoyu suddenly sat up from the bed and said seriously: "Don't put all your eggs in the same basket, otherwise if you fall, they will all break. That's why I do more farming. Even if we don't make money from shrimp farming, we can always make money from eels. Even if eels don't make money, we can always make money from kelp."

What Li Duoyu has to do now is to select the healthiest batch from as many breeding shrimps as possible.

There is a more earthy saying that as long as it grows bigger, it proves that the genes are good.

At this time, Li Duoyu's hands and feet have become dirty. During this trip, because of the sound insulation problem of the hotel, he ate all vegetarian dishes. Now he can finally eat some meat dishes.

"Fuck, you just despised me."

But in this era, Li Duoyu can't buy insurance for these breeding farms and those kelp and oysters.

While Li Duoyu was checking the eel pond, his uncle beside him couldn't help asking, "Duoyu, I don't understand why you need this cloth?"

Uncle Chen Dongqing suddenly realized, "No wonder the water in your eel pond is so dark."

Li Duoyu smiled. After the last contact, he saw that his aunt was not a pushover.

"After converting to our RMB, it's about 80 yuan."

Uncle Chen Dongqing said unhappily after seeing Li Duoyu, "Oh, you've been playing for so many days, and you finally want to come back?"

In the past life, many breeders were bankrupted by typhoons. Li Duoyu remembered that one year, there seemed to be a typhoon called "Maria" that swept their entire county.

Li Duoyu sighed, "Forget it, I'll give it to you today."

After taking a bath.

My uncle sighed, "It's all because of you. Ever since your aunt found out that you, Xiaoying and your boss went to Hong Kong Island, she has been scolding me for being useless. Recently, she has deducted all my money for smoking."

What's more fatal is that the typhoon forecast in this era is not very accurate, and typhoons are really naughty.

"Fuck you, did you bring me anything back?"

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening.

The eel has grown at least twenty times, it is no longer so transparent, and its back is slowly turning black.

As long as a while, it will become the "black spot" in the mouth of eel farmers.

After returning to Dandan Island, Zhou Xiaoying still couldn't be happy. To her, Li Duoyu was really too aggressive this time, borrowing so much money to buy and deliver equipment.

Zhou Xiaoying thought about it and felt that what Li Duoyu said made sense: "But we have so many eels at home. What should we do if a typhoon comes?"

Li Duoyu checked with a flashlight. The eel fry were in good condition and were very active in grabbing food. After raising them in the small pond for half a month, they can be moved to the secondary pond.

After hearing this, the uncle was stunned for several seconds, and then he started to talk about the quintessence of Chinese culture: "You are too bold."

But if it is not collected, if it comes, I guess I won't be able to cry.

Li Duoyu glanced at the uncle next to him and said: "I heard from the breeding experts in Hong Kong Island that shrimps are different from eels. They are not big, but they need more oxygen, so once the oxygen is stopped, they will die easily."

According to my mother, two days before they left, this kid cried for two whole nights and cried until he had no strength to fall asleep.

Li Duoyu brushed the hair scattered in front of Xiaoying with her hand: "Don't worry, your husband and I have a way to deal with it. It's just a typhoon, what's there to be afraid of."

"So that's how it is."

Zhou Xiaoying smiled.

Especially at night.

"Come here so early?"

After all, Dandan Island is an island with a very large temperature difference. In this season, the temperature can drop to single digits at night, and it can rise to about 20 degrees during the day.

Zhou Xiaoying frowned and said: "I'm talking to you seriously, can you stop smiling? Such a big thing, we have to discuss it carefully."

Zhang Sanming next door seemed to be unable to sleep because of Li Duoyu's snoring, so he applied for a room change.

What he didn't expect was that in addition to his second brother and his family, his uncle Chen Dongqing was also here early in the morning.

There should be at least two sets of people, one for patrolling, checking the temperature of each pool to see if there is any abnormality.

It is relatively simple to let shrimp hatch the next generation, but it is not an easy task to cultivate excellent shrimp seedlings.

It requires a lot of technical support and experience accumulation, and Li Duoyu now cannot cultivate fast-growing, highly resistant shrimp fry like in his previous life.

Now, the most important thing for him is to cultivate the shrimp fry first. (End of this chapter)
