Eight o'clock in the morning. Taohu Town, the largest planting township of late rice in Guangming County, a rice field waiting to be planted, a group of people said while walking.

"China's rice farming has a long history, as early as more than 2,000 years ago, is the world's earliest country to carry out rice farming. Professor Jin walked in front, and County Magistrate Li and teachers and students of Agricultural University followed, "In the ancient tombs of the Han Dynasty unearthed in SXM County, a model of rice field fish farming appeared. ”

"Professor Jin, why are the people in our county not very keen on rice farming, and it seems that there are not many shrimp farmers in rice fields. County Magistrate Li's secretary asked.

"Economic benefits!" Professor Jin summed up in four words concisely, adding: "The main reason is that the technology and market cultivation have not kept up, and the common people have not achieved good economic benefits in rice farming, which has led to their low interest." ”

A planting teacher explained: "In the past, rice farming was done by digging large ponds, which destroyed the land structure of rice fields, and as a result, rice production was reduced, and the fish raised could not be sold, but there was no high benefit from filling the pond and returning it to the field." ”

"Then why do you raise shrimp, especially crayfish?" the secretary asked.

"Qu Guangquan, you can answer. Professor Jin pointed at Qu Guangquan and said. "The most appropriate thing for him is that he brought it up. ”

"Let me ask you first, is it the carp or the crayfish that are expensive" Qu Guangquan first threw out a question.

"The carp is five pounds a piece, and the crayfish is six dollars a pound. An Fang answered.

"Generally, shrimp must be intensively cultured to be productive, and the growth and reproduction of crayfish do not need to be intensively cultured. Qu Guangquan said very expertly: "I have read a source that says that Louisiana in the United States has used 150 years of practice to prove that the best way to raise crayfish is in the rice field. ”

"The point is, we don't seem to have heard of who breeds crayfish in the rice fields?" An Fang put a question mark in her mind.

"The scientific name of the crayfish we are talking about is crayfish, also known as crayfish, red swamp crayfish. Native to North America, RB was introduced to China by the United States in 1918 and RB in 1929. The reason is that Crayfish has strong adaptability to the environment, less diseases, low oxygen tolerance, and can stay out of water or burrow for a long time, has a strong tolerance to bad environments, is easy to transport, and has a high survival rate of transportation. This is unmatched by other shrimp species. ””

County Magistrate Li's secretary shook his hand and said, "No wonder I checked a lot of files, but I didn't find the historical record of crayfish breeding in Guangming County." Now I can say that there is no precedented, and I am very worried, once there is such a large production, can it still be sold for six yuan a catty? Even I doubt that so much can be sold?"

Professor Jin smiled: "Cultivate the market." Qu Guangquan is doing this. ”

Qu Guangquan waved his hand confidently: "European and American countries are currently the main consumers of crayfish, in the United States the shrimp is not only an important edible shrimp, but also an important bait for fishing, with an annual consumption of 6~80,000 tons, and less than 1/3 of the self-sufficiency. The European Union and the United States import tens of thousands of tons from abroad every year. ”

County Magistrate Li narrowed his eyes: "Foreigners like to eat this, that is, they can also exchange foreign exchange?"

Qu Guangquan said: "Yes, Sweden is an avid consumer. Every year Sweden holds a three-week crayfish festival, the whole country not only eats crayfish, but also people draw crayfish patterns on tableware and clothes, the scene is very grand, Sweden imports crayfish every year up to 5~100,000 tons. The Western European market consumes 6~80,000 tons of crayfish a year, while the self-sufficiency capacity of Western Europe accounts for only 20% of the total consumption. ”

A teacher from Agricultural University further explained: "Crayfish meat is delicious and nutritious, with a protein content of 16%~20%, and the protein content of dried shrimp is as high as more than 50%, which is higher than that of ordinary fish and more than the protein content of eggs. The content of trace elements such as zinc, iodine and selenium in shrimp meat is also higher than that of other foods, and the muscle fibers are delicate, which is easy for the human body to digest and absorb. In the future, it will be domestic consumption, which is also a big market of more than 10 billion yuan. ”

County Magistrate Li's secretary: "Then don't do any pilots, waste more time, just breed in the county!"

Professor Jin said: "The key lies in the technology, for example, how wide the ridges are, whether the aquatic weeds are needed, the breeding mode, etc., we are still very short of first-hand information, especially the large difference in latitude between the north and south of our Jiangbei Province, such as Qu Guangquan They Huaibei do not grow rice, and they can have two crops of rice a year in Yishan." You can only grow late rice in the light. ”

The teacher of the Agricultural University also pointed out that although foreign countries also have very rich experience in late rice farming, it is necessary to explore whether they can copy it.

An Fang's uncle, An Guoliang, the deputy director of Bright Farm, immediately stopped: "Professor Jin, our farm warmly welcomes agricultural teachers and students to our side to conduct a pilot, let's take out fifty hectares first, how to invest you just need a word." ”

County Magistrate Li pointed to his feet: "Chief Anchang, this is in Guangming County, and there is no such thing as cutting off a beard! Besides, this matter is the initiative of the boss Xiaoqu, and the consent of the boss Xiaoqu must be obtained to cut off the beard." ”

Qu Guangquan smiled: "County Magistrate Li is too exalted to me." However, when County Magistrate Li said this, I had an idea, Professor Jin, if the Guangming rice and shrimp rotation experiment can be successful, can it be named after the bright lobster. Make a GI protected product. ”

"Good. Professor Jin secretly gave a thumbs up: "Market awareness is really avant-garde, I think you two county lords really have to please Qu Guangquan." Once the bright lobster is called all over the country, it is equivalent to giving the bright a golden signboard!"

Qu Guangquan nodded, "County Magistrate Li, I think it's best to publicize it, and call it famous, in case other places are the first to go, you can't grab it if you want to."

In later generations, there was a Xuyi lobster, but it resounded all over the world, as if crayfish were the place of origin!

County Magistrate Li pondered for a long time: "Secretary Wang, after I go back, I will ask those drummers of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles to plan well and tout around the bright lobster." ”

An Guoliang came to his heart: "County Magistrate Li, if our farm doesn't contribute some funds, let's hold a "Bright Lobster" national essay contest. ”

"Good idea. County Magistrate Li immediately clapped his hands: "What is the main purpose of the essay?"

"With the ten years of reform and opening up and the development of the new countryside as the main body, we will face the national essay. Director An pointed to the unplanted rice fields in the distance: "Acura new countryside, new farmers, new atmosphere." ”

An Fang came up with an idea: "If you don't cooperate with the central media, if it is only limited to light, or our Jiangbei Province will inevitably be less generous, and the intensity of propaganda is insufficient." ”

An Guoliang pretended to be angry and said: "An Fang, I just said that we will pay for it, and if you go down with this knife, you will bleed heavily!"

County Magistrate Li shook his hand: "For such a big matter, how can it be that you just let you pay, the county party committee and county government will not stand idly by." An Fang is right, since it is propaganda, of course, the greater the strength, the better. I have a suggestion, we want two places on the jury, one for Professor Jin and one for Xiaoqu. ”

Professor Jin hurriedly waved his hand, "County Magistrate Li, thank you for your kindness, I really don't have time!"

Qu Guangquan shook his hand: "County Magistrate Li, you are killing me! Besides, I am now three heads and six arms, and I am in a hurry." ”

County Magistrate Li: "It's just a nominal judge, and the real selection is to let people come professionally, otherwise, it will be unfair." ”

Qu Guangquan still waved his hand: "It's not okay to be named, how can I have that qualification?"

"You are so qualified, without you, there would be no bright lobster!" County Magistrate Li turned to the secretary and said, "Contact the county office and record the origin of the four words bright lobster." It's really like Professor Jin said, one day the bright lobster will call the whole country, and we have to know who the heroes are!"

Professor Jin patted Qu Guangquan on the shoulder, "I support County Magistrate Li's proposal to give Qu Guangquan a name." This is also an encouragement to young people, to make bold assumptions, but also to be bold and innovative! If we start with high standards, it is possible to make a name for the whole world. ”

County Magistrate Li approached Qu Guangquan, "Yesterday, Secretary Shi also said that you took advantage of our Guangming County, and selling so many Chinese medicinal materials to you on credit is equivalent to giving you a subsidized loan." Today, if you mention these four words, I think this subsidized loan is worth it!"

Qu Guangquan arched his hand upward: "Qu Guangquan really appreciates it, as long as County Magistrate Li is useful to me Qu Guangquan, he will definitely be a liver and brain!"

"It should be us who want to say thank you!" County Magistrate Li whispered: "If you have any ideas, just contact me, only if the conditions allow, I will definitely overcome all difficulties." ”
