Chapter 43: The First Harvest of the Fishing Grounds
Su Jing and Su Liang went out by boat, and they could see the farm floating on the sea in the distance, which looked like a small island from a distance.
In fact, the real marine aquaculture farm has strict requirements for all aspects, such as wind shelter, water temperature, salinity, tidal speed, etc., otherwise the survival rate and growth rate of the fish will be very unsatisfactory, and eventually lead to losses. Generally speaking, it is absolutely undesirable to build in the center of the sea with strong winds and waves like Su Jing, so this makes many neighbors feel strange.
"Ah Jing, come and see a lot of fish. ”
"Ah Jing, this fishing method is really amazing. ”
As soon as Su Jing arrived, everyone greeted him warmly, looking very excited.
A young man with short flat hair stepped forward and said politely, "Brother Jing." ”
Su Jing smiled: "Ah Hu, you came so soon, follow me to work hard in the future, and I won't treat you badly." ”
This young man is Su Hu, Su Zhenqiao's son, and he deliberately saluted: "Yes", which made everyone laugh.
Su Jing jumped on the fishing platform from the fishing boat, looked at the past, couldn't help but smile, and was very satisfied, the whole fishing platform is like a huge boat board, spread on the sea mightily, but there are ten big holes, respectively, there are ten cages with a diameter of ten meters, and the nine cages around are surrounded by trap entrances that can be entered and exited, and the most central one is a real breeding cage. According to Su Jing's design, these planks rely on floats to levitate, half a meter high from the sea, and the planks are very thick and strong, even if a shark comes to attack, it is safe to stand on the plank.
Su Jing walked over the fish platform and praised: "Your craftsmanship is really good, and it is very well built." ”
Su Liang said with a smile: "This is thanks to Xiaolin's carpentry learning, almost becoming a carpenter, of course the craftsmanship is first-class." ”
Su Xiaolin said modestly: "Where, my craftsmanship is not as good as a real carpenter. ”
Su Xiaolin's father is a carpenter, even very delicate chairs, sofas and wooden doors can be made, the craft is well-known, Su Xiaolin imperceptibly, carpentry is also very good, although not as good as his father, but the fish repair platform is by no means a problem.
Su Jing said with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard, go collect the fish, and sell it to give everyone a bonus." ”
Saying this, everyone got excited, and went to the three cages where the meatballs were put and many fish were trapped, and began to collect the nets. Su Jing took a closer look, and couldn't help but be startled, this is too much, maybe because this time the fishing net is no longer on the shore, but in the center of the sea, it is easier to attract fish from all directions, the ten-meter-diameter cage is densely packed with all kinds of fish, and each cage has hundreds of catties.
Because there are too many fish, I am worried that the cage will not be able to bear it, so I can only carefully collect it while using a net pocket, everyone seems to have been laughed at, grinning while fishing, and I have never had such a big harvest in my life.
"What a monster!" Su Hua suddenly exclaimed, almost losing his net pocket. Everyone looked over and saw that at the bottom of the cage, there was a moving "stone", with many nodulous protrusions on its surface, like the skin of a toad, which looked weird and disgusting.
"It's a strange fish, catch it quickly. Su Liang and Su Xiaolin ran over excitedly, they didn't know what kind of fish it was, but since the last time they caught a monster-like anglerfish, they actually bought tens of thousands of yuan, they had abnormal feelings for the strange fish.
"Be careful, it's a stonefish, it's poisonous. "Su Jing has never seen this kind of fish with his own eyes, but he has seen it when he looks at people and nature, and because it is very peculiar, he remembers it very clearly.
"Damn, it won't. Su Liang and Su Xiaolin were startled and quickly stopped.
"Not only is it poisonous, it's deadly. Su Jing quickly gave them a science popularization, the stonefish is a very poisonous fish in nature, and its "fatal sting" is described as the most painful sting for humans.
Stonefish like to hide under the ocean floor or reefs, disguising themselves as an inconspicuous rock. If someone unnoticed stepping on it, it would unceremoniously immediately counterattack, firing out deadly poison, and the 12 to 14 needle-sharp backstabs on its back would easily penetrate the soles of the shoes and pierce the soles of the feet, causing the person to be quickly poisoned and remain in severe pain until death.
"Then what should I do, let it go?" asked Su Liang.
"Of course you can't put it, although the stonefish is poisonous, although it is ugly, but the meat is fresh and tender, there are no fine thorns, the nutritional value is very high, it has the medicinal effect of shengjin and moisturizing the lungs, and people with bad skin can eat it, and it can also play a role in beauty. After the fish fat is dried, it is processed into fish maw for soup, which is smooth in the mouth and becomes a delicacy on the table, which is comparable to the best shark fin and bird's nest. Su Jing smiled.
"How much is that worth?" Su Liang, Su Xiaolin and the others' eyes lit up, and sure enough, strange fish are not cheap.
"I don't know the current market, but it should be at least two hundred and one catties, and if it is sold to a big hotel, it should be even higher. Su Jing said.
"Then you have to get it up and be careful not to touch it. Su Liang, Su Xiaolin and the others immediately forgot to be afraid, this stonefish is three or four catties, that is, more than six hundred, how can it be let go?
Everyone took the fish cage and net bag, carefully loaded the stonefish into it, and pulled it up. As the cage continued to pull up, it was found that there were large pieces of stone fish at the bottom, all of which were fished up, a total of 25, with a total weight of more than 40 catties.
"Hey, what kind of snail is this?" Su Jing found an unrecognized snail, it was crawling along the mesh, the shell was very beautiful, spiral-coiled, smooth and gray-white in appearance, mixed with many orange-red ripples in the back. Su Jing was a little curious, so he took a bucket and filled it up.
It took nearly an hour to catch all the fish in the three cages, which is estimated to be more than 1,000 catties in total.
The first catch of this fishing ground was undoubtedly a bumper harvest, and it only used three cages and three meatballs, and if nine cages came together, it can be imagined. Of course, there may not be three times as much, after all, there is always a limit to the number of fish.
Su Jing selected a few of each fish and shrimp and threw them into the cage used for breeding in the center, and all the others were brought ashore.
Many villagers came up curiously, even if Su Jing caught a lot of fish in the past, the villagers would be envious and surprised, but they would not pay too much attention, but now it is different, those who follow Su Jing have a salary of 5,000 yuan a month, and everyone wants to see if Su Jing has any earnings, and whether he can afford to pay. Especially the parents and relatives of a few young men who followed Su Jinggan were even more concerned.
However, when they saw Su Jing and others carrying a large basket of fish up, they were completely dumbfounded.
"Wow, how do you catch so many fish?"
"There are also a lot of lobsters, abalone, and sea crabs. ”
"What kind of monster is that stone?"
Seeing the villagers exclaimed, Su Liang, Su Xiaolin, Su Hu and others couldn't help but raise their heads and stand proud, they chose to follow Su Jing before, and some elders were not optimistic, thinking that the monthly salary of 5,000 yuan must be a pit, now let's see who is right.
Su Jing called Zhao Zhi and Qian Shufeng, this time they didn't come in person, but they immediately sent people, they took away the precious seafood at a high price, and other ordinary marine fish called the wholesale market to come and take it away.
In this way, the harvest of this fishing was as high as 80,000, and Su Jing was not stingy at all, and gave 40,000 yuan to Su Liang, Su Xiaolin, Su Hu and other eight people, paid a month's salary in advance, and each of them gave a bonus of 200.
This made the parents and relatives of Su Liang, Su Xiaolin and others completely relieved, while the other villagers were envious and wanted to join, but unfortunately there are enough people now.
"Isn't Ah Jing a breeding farm, why did he collect fish so quickly?" Su Hai quickly heard some rumors, and couldn't help but ask people in the know.
"It is said that it is not a breeding farm, but a new type of technology fishing farm brought back from the outside, I heard that it has not been fully built, but I tried to use it for a day, and I made 80,000 yuan, which is really amazing. It's a pity that he doesn't have a shortage of manpower, otherwise I'll have to ask him to let me join. ”
"......" Su Hai was completely dumbfounded, his intestines were about to repent, before Su Jing agreed in front of him to let Su Zhenqiao's son join, if he spoke, Su Jing would definitely not be able to refuse, but now it's too late.
