Chapter 57 Check Out the Kelp Culture Raft

After hearing what Li Duoyu said.

Chen Huiying put down the pole.

The little yellow dog that had just been beaten once saw someone trying to beat it again. It was so frightened that it got into the chicken coop.

result,

Scared the egg-laying hens out.

Seeing that the hens were frightened, Chen Huiying scolded her again: "You are such a showy dog."

Li Duoyu saw this.

He quickly took out the little yellow dog, took out an abandoned belt, got a dog collar for it, and then tied it in the corner of the chicken pen to prevent it from running around.

Chen Huiying was still a little angry: "Okay, why did you get a dog to do it in the chicken pen? What if it eats the chicken?"

"Mommy, this puppy can't bite. Its front feet are broken. It's good that it hasn't been bullied by those big roosters. It still wants to eat chicken."

"Then you can't keep it inside. The hen will be frightened when she lays eggs, and she may not lay eggs in the future."

Li Duoyu quickly explained:

"Just lock it up for one night. I'll get a dog cage right away tomorrow. When its legs are healed, I'll put it on the fishing raft."

"You want to keep it on the fishing raft?"

Li Duoyu nodded: "I raised it just to watch the kelp farming raft."

After hearing that the fourth child picked up the dog to see the kelp breeding raft, Chen Huiying immediately liked the dog, but she still nagged:

"Then you have to get rid of it quickly. You can't keep it in a chicken coop."

"I know, Mom, I'll make a doghouse for it tomorrow."

Li Duoyu almost forgot.

Raising chickens and ducks is a very important thing to my mother-in-law.

When they were young, their family had not yet been allocated oyster fields. If they wanted to have a bite of white rice, they had to rely on chickens and eggs in the chicken coop.

Whenever a hen lays an egg, no one is willing to eat it, but Aniang will collect the eggs, and on the day of the market, she will carry the eggs to the commune to exchange for food stamps and oil stamps.

After seeing the puppy tied up in the corner, Chen Huiying felt relieved and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. After looking at the fourth child, she asked:

"What do you want to eat tonight?"

The moment I heard this.

Li Duoyu was stunned for a while.

When I was young in my previous life,

He is most afraid of people asking him what he wants to eat, because he always finds it troublesome to answer.

But when he gets old.

What he was most afraid of was that no one asked him what he wanted to eat, so he could only eat there alone.

Facing Aniang’s question.

Li Duoyu did not give a perfunctory answer like "whatever" or "anything is fine", but said with a smile:

"How about fried mustard greens, an omelette, stir-fried dried oysters with green garlic, stir-fry one of the cauliflowers, and lastly, make a soup with a piece of sea fish."

Seeing Li Duoyu ordering so many dishes at once, Chen Huiying said with a little disgust:

"Our vegetable garden is only so big, how can we have so many vegetables to cook for you."

Li Duoyu smiled and said:

"Then you can eat whatever you want."

Li Duoyu took a look and found that the small vegetable garden behind his chicken coop was indeed a bit small. At first, my mother-in-law had used most of the vegetable garden for chicken coops and pig pens.

There isn't much space left in the vegetable patch.

I just planted some green garlic, which is used daily for seasoning, and mustard greens, which are used to make pickles.

There are no other vegetables.

However, Uncle Hu's family did not raise chickens or ducks, so the vegetable plot was much larger. However, he only had food and accommodation by himself and could not grow much.

Most of them are deserted there.

Li Duoyu thought to himself, Uncle Hu would have to move to Rongcheng sooner or later, or he might as well take over his family's vegetable land.

This way you can add a variety of other vegetables.

Li Duoyu looked at his watch.

Half past three in the afternoon.

There is still more than an hour before Zhou Xiaoying ends get out of class, and there are still two and a half hours before dinner time.

Li Duoyu planned to sail to the kelp breeding raft first to see the latest status of the kelp seedlings.

Kelp seedlings are not thrown into the sea.

Just don't worry about it.

On the contrary, management is much more troublesome than those of fruits and vegetables, and you need to check them at least two or three times a week.

The most basic thing is to check the raft frame and wooden piles to see if there are any piles pulled out and whether the kelp rope is rolled or entangled.

Next, you have to check the growth of the kelp seedlings to see if they have been eaten by insects or have any diseases.

After arriving at the kelp farming raft.

Li Duoyu put his hand into the sea water and tested the water temperature first. It was a bit cold and biting. He felt that the temperature of the sea water was only in the single digits.

This water temperature is very suitable for the growth of kelp. Then, he pulled up a kelp rope and observed it carefully.

Mainly look at the kelp seedlings to see if there are curls on both sides, and whether there are white spots or rotten leaves.

Fortunately, the kelp seedlings are all healthy.

The first batch of kelp seedlings that went to sea are now more than 20 centimeters long.

If it continues.

In another three months, it will grow to one meter long. After four months, it may be ready for harvest.

Li Duoyu randomly picked a kelp rope to check every ten meters.

If you find that the kelp seedlings are too dense, pick some kelp seedlings.

For the current Li Duoyu.

What’s important is not output,

But seek stability and success,

Only by raising these kelp well can his mariculture plan continue to advance.

From the very beginning, Li Duoyu did not choose to raise kelp without any thought.

If that's right.

In a few years, TV dramas from Hong Kong Island will flood into the country.

By then, the first wave of wealthy "classes" will be the first to suffer cultural shock, especially in the area of ​​food.

What, "Chicken Sauce Fish Maw Lo Noodles"

“Shark’s fin with rice”

"Abalone with Rice"

These ingredients that frequently appear in Hong Kong TV dramas and movies will become luxury ingredients in the minds of Chinese people for a long time to come.

Fresh kelp is the main food of abalone. When kelp farming is large-scale, it will save a lot of trouble to raise abalone.

However, abalone is considered to be a relatively difficult seafood to raise.

Not only is it very picky about the environment.

It is also very delicate in character.

It often dies in front of you if you don't agree with it.

Back then, when the abalone market was booming, many people raised abalone on Dandan Island.

Those farmers who made money by raising abalone,

say it is abalone that makes you rich.

But those farmers who are in debt because of raising abalone call it abalone that goes bankrupt every day.

The reason is that the abalone breeding cycle is very long, and it takes two or three years to sell at a good price.

In two or three years, there are too many variables, and it almost depends on God's blessing.

If God is in a bad mood.

If a tropical typhoon comes, abalone farmers will probably lose their pants.

However, even if Li Duoyu wants to raise abalone at this stage, he probably can't.

The reason is that there are no seedlings.

The wild abalone in their local area is abalone with different colors, which is very small and not very delicious.

Most of the abalones that people eat in later generations are new varieties cultivated by using the northern abalone and the local abalone with different colors.

To be honest, Li Duoyu knows a little about this kind of cultivation work, but he only knows a little. To really cultivate new varieties, he still has to rely on the aquatic research institutes in various places.

Even if Li Duoyu has a complete set of abalone cultivation technology now, it has no place to use it.

It's like Li Duoyu is very good at driving.

But there is no decent road on Dandan Island. If the car speed is too fast, it may overturn one day.

Li Duoyu plans to persuade his uncle Chen Dongqing to find a way to cultivate some abalone seedlings suitable for growing in the southern waters for him after the kelp cultivation is successful.

However, this is all in the future.

You can't get fat in one go.

You have to do things step by step. At this stage, I'd better focus on growing kelp.
