Chapter 673 - Breeding Crayfish
After these people came, Bai Mei took Xu Fang's money and began to settle for everyone.
No matter how well it is said, it is not as good as real money. Seeing that they had really gotten the money, the villagers suddenly smiled.
"Xiaomei, do you want this snail tomorrow?" someone asked with the money.
"I'm not sure yet, I'll ask the boss tomorrow, if he still accepts it, I'll let Sister Mei tell you." Xu Fang came out at the right time to explain to everyone.
Hearing Xu Fang's words, others could only pray that the boss would continue to acquire tomorrow.
After everyone went back, Xu Fang also returned to the house with Bai Mei.
"How long will our snails and crayfish be enough for us to catch?" asked Bai Mei.
Xu Fang has also been thinking about this matter recently, and when he heard Bai Mei's question, Xu Fang sighed and said, "We have a lot of rivers in Xiushui Village, but we can't stand it like this." In the previous waters, the nets were put for several days, and the crayfish caught were obviously less than before. Now the crayfish in a few ponds are estimated to be enough for us to catch for a month, and in the ponds and rivers far away, it is enough for us to hold on for two months at most. When that time comes, it will be much more difficult for us to make money. β
For Xu Fang's words, Bai Mei naturally understands very well, how can this kind of work, which can earn thousands of dollars a day, be so easy to continue.
"What then?" asked Bai Mei.
"I haven't thought about it yet. Xu Fang said with a frown.
"Do you think it's reliable for us to raise some crayfish?" Bai Mei asked casually.
Bai Mei may have said it unintentionally, and Xu Fang's eyes suddenly lit up! Raising crayfish? This is a good idea.
"I'm going to buy some crayfish farming books tomorrow to see if hemp, if not, let's just raise some." Xu Fangyi clapped his hands and agreed with Bai Mei's point of view.
Seeing that Xu Fang felt that this idea was feasible, Bai Mei was also a little excited, and continued to help Xu Fang with advice: "The land in our village is also cheap, if you want to contract the pond, you can contract it at a very low price, anyway, there are people who collect crayfish, so we don't have to worry about the lack of market." β
Xu Fang still agrees with Bai Mei's words, although this woman lives in the countryside, after all, she has been in the city and has seen a lot, and some strategies are not said without thinking about the brain, but they are very valuable for reference.
"Sister Mei is still smart!" Xu Fang stretched out his thumb and exclaimed.
"I'm going to make up my mind, and I can't rely on you in the end. Bai Meimei glanced at Xu Fang and said shyly.
Looking at Bai Mei's sultry appearance, Xu Fang couldn't help but pinch Bai Mei's two groups, and said with a smile: "Do you have to give me some benefits by relying on me?"
Being teased by Xu Fang like this, Bai Mei was not displeased at all, nor did she open Xu Fang's hand, her cheeks were rosy and looked at Xu Fang and said, "I'm not serious, and I'm not afraid of Fan Fan seeing it." β
"Ah, what are you two doing?" came an exclamation.
Xu Fang quickly let go of his hand, turned his head and saw that it was the third sister-in-law. Although he panicked in his heart, Xu Fang knew that the two of them had their backs to the third sister-in-law just now, and the third sister-in-law should not have seen what the two of them had done clearly, so she immediately said without blushing and heartbeat: "Button Sister Mei's clothes, she can't see the buttons on it clearly, sister-in-law came to take a bath?"
Seeing that Xu Fang was so calm, the third sister-in-law was really fooled by Xu Fang, and said with a smile: "Yes, go, help my sister-in-law close the door." β
"Hey, you're not afraid of being heard. Xu Fang shook his head with a smile and got up to close the door.
"I saw it when I came, there is no one around your house, do you want to wash it with your sister-in-law?" the third sister-in-law giggled, as if it was a pleasure to tease Xu Fang.
"Go and wash with her and see if she dares. Bai Mei encouraged on the side.
Xu Fang couldn't stand the ridicule of these two girls together, so he ran away and went back to his house.
When night fell, Bai Mei came to Xu Fang's room again that night as usual, and only returned to her room after a battle, and after she left, everything finally returned to peace.
Early the next morning, Xu Fang went to the river to set up shrimp pots. Yesterday, the boss of the fishing gear seller in the town bought a new stock, Xu Fang purchased some shrimp pots again, this time there were more shrimp pots, and the number of crayfish caught was also a lot more, Xu Fang estimated that it should reach 200 catties.
Let the driver drive over, and the two went straight to the city.
After arriving in the city, Xu Fang sold all the crayfish, and the boss also smiled after transferring the account to Xu Fang: "Young man, can you still find the snail yesterday?"
"Boss, do you still accept it?"
"Collect, how can you not accept it, don't look at the small faΓ§ade of my store, there is a big warehouse behind me, and there are many doors, there are no goods that I can't send, you can send as many as you want." The boss patted his heart and assured.
"Can you digest two thousand catties a day?" asked Xu Fang.
"No problem!" said the shopkeeper proudly.
With this criterion, Xu Fang also relieved himself, thanked the boss, and sent him to the largest bookstore in the city. The driver didn't have much work, and he had to buy some information for his children, so he simply went with Xu Fang.
Xu Fang didn't care about the driver, and after finding the breeding area, a shopping guide immediately asked with a smile: "What kind of books do you want?"
"Is there any crayfish farming?" asked Xu Fang.
"How about this? It's all new technology this year, and it's suitable for families and small-scale farming. The shopping guide glanced at Xu Fang a few times, found a suitable book and handed it over.
Xu Fang's current situation is indeed not suitable for large-scale breeding, took the book handed by the shopping guide, looked at it briefly, compared a few other books, selected three and went to checkout.
After the driver was also selected, the two went back to Xiushui Village together.
When he arrived in the village, Xu Fang told Bai Mei that he would continue to buy snails today, and he would still start weighing them at three o'clock in the afternoon, so he didn't care about her, but found the book he bought today in the yard and looked at it carefully.
Xu Fang's speed of reading books is very fast, and in two hours, Xu Fang finished reading a book. Although there were still two books left that he hadn't had time to read, these books were all the same, Xu Fang closed his eyes and carefully sorted out his thoughts.
The first point is the site of shrimp farming, Xiushui Village has a lot of water, and the water is not deep, there are many small ponds and rivers. But the suitable place for breeding must be ponds, and there are many ponds in the west of the village, and those sites are enough for Xu Fang to play.
The breeding waters of crayfish need to be disinfected, and in order to prevent crayfish from burrowing and escaping, nets should be buried around the breeding site.
As for the shrimp species, Xu Fang is not too worried, it is now the end of July, it is the peak season for crayfish breeding, Xu Fang is catching a lot of crayfish, some female shrimp are pregnant with some crayfish. If he really wants to breed, take advantage of this time to directly leave these female shrimp, according to the yield per mu and the survival rate of crayfish, and then put them into the shrimp pond according to demand, so that these female shrimp with shrimp seedlings can continue to reproduce.
As long as it is farmed properly, the crayfish can be marketed in two months, and the speed of profitability is still very fast.
After reading these books, Xu Fang's heart was also a little hot.
When Bai Mei returned home, Xu Convenience stopped her: "Sister Mei, if we want to contract a breeding place, where are we going?"
"Gotta go to the town hall. Bai Mei said, "You really want to breed crayfish?"
Xu Fang nodded and said with a smile: "The profit of crayfish is very good, we have been fishing now, sooner or later there will be a day when the fishing will be finished, rather than sitting on the empty mountain, it is better to breed some by yourself." β
