It was morning, and there were no customers at the Tricolor Grass Restaurant.

But for Harry, it was his working hours before the guests came. At this time, the work will be done, and the work of the restaurant will be smooth when the guests come to dine.

Nowadays, the Tricolor Grass Catering Company is developing quite well. Tricolor has opened twelve locations in Nevada, nine in large cities in the East and South, and five in California in the West. Now it can be regarded as a real brand. The Link & Harry restaurant has grown even faster and now has 83 branches across the United States.

Now Harry is also a small and small rich man. However, now his money is only an asset, and the dividends he can get from the Tricolor Grass Catering Company every year are not much. Most of the profits from both restaurants were spent on expansion.

The restaurant is basically managed by him. Link completely shook his hands, and Bill took on the name of general manager of the company, but never came to work.

At the main store of Tricolor, Harry had just finished checking the kitchen and various preparations when Bill arrived.

When Bill saw him in the lobby of the restaurant, he smiled and said, "We're done, let's go!"

Harry said, "Wait for me for five minutes, I'll change my clothes." "Tricolor Grass Restaurant is a high-end restaurant, how can he, the president, wear a suit, but this will be going to meet his best friend, and there is no need to dress so formally.

He quickly changed into a casual outfit and went out with Bill. He didn't drive himself either, but got straight into Bill's red sassy sports car. This Porsche is not second-hand, but Bill bought it not long ago, and the smell of leather in the car is still completely gone.

After closing the car door, he said, "I'll call Link and see where he is." ”

Link made an appointment to meet them, but didn't make an appointment to see when they were free, saying only that he might be at Hans's farm or at Hans's house this morning.

After he finished the call, he smiled and said, "Go to Overtown." He was in the Hans Fishery. Jeff had a leaf lip fish in one of the ponds to catch. ”

Bill started the car and said with a smile, "I eat a lot of fish, but I've never seen how they are caught." ”

He drove the car to the Las Vegas Strip and asked Harry, "Did Link tell you anything?" When he called me, he asked me if I would be interested in starting a long-haul company. ”

"He didn't say anything to me on the phone. No, I don't think he told us to go to him, there must be something he wants to talk to us about. "If it's just a meeting between friends, Link will go straight to Alaska and find a random place when he has time. If you don't have time, just call and say. They wouldn't have called him at all. "Maybe it's about the transportation company. ”

Bill nodded and said, "I think so." But I haven't decided whether to start a company like that. "He loves life now. Today, he owns three garages and makes $300,000 a year. There is also a stake in the Tricolor Grass Restaurant.

This is more than the ideal life he wanted before.

Harry knew he didn't have much ambition, but he didn't say anything about him at this time, just said, "I'll hear what he has to say, and it's not too late to make a decision." "He knew Link wasn't going to pit them.

Link left the two children at the Hans family and left them in the care of Barbara and Ms. Hemmer. Himself and Jeff Hans Fishery.

The Hanse fishery has not expanded in size, but one more pond has been opened, and now there are three ponds for leaflip fish. It's just right to catch a bite every year. The nursery workshop has also been expanded and the equipment has been replaced.

The fish pond is still draining. Jeff took him to see the nursery workshop.

Jeff led him to the edge of a circular nursery pond and said, "The sockeye salmon released for Ozette were raised from these nursery ponds." These nursery ponds create a circulation to ensure the viability of the fry. Moreover, there is an internal circulating water treatment system, which is not a problem for those fish with high water quality requirements. However, with the exception of sockeye salmon, we have not yet fully mastered the nursery technology for other salmon. ”

Link wants to see if Jeff can raise more salmon fry here.

He is planning to build a sea ranch out of giant automated cages, which are too expensive to raise relatively expensive fish to make a profit.

Salmon is a great choice.

Salmon is actually a collective term for all kinds of salmon. And now the most valuable is Pacific sockeye salmon. But Link's plan is a bit of a "big success", and if sockeye salmon production is too large, the price will be depressed. So he hopes to breed a variety of salmon.

The Hans Fishery has a foundation in salmon nursery. Jeff had previously bred a large number of sockeye salmon fry for release for Ozette for three years in a row. Although there are no more sockeye salmon migrating in those Ozete streams, at least the seedlings have been successful.

He looked at this nursery workshop, there were a total of twelve pools, and the other workshop seemed to be the same equipment, that is, only this nursery workshop in the Hans Fishery could grow salmon fry.

And a giant cage platform can hold 1.5 million tails. He wanted more than just a cage. The capacity of Hans's fishery was certainly not enough for him.

He thought for a moment and said, "I need more nurseries to provide me with fry." ”

Jeff nodded and said, "If it goes according to your plan, it does need to." However, there are not many salmon fry in the United States today, and there are many in Northern Europe, but they breed Atlantic salmon. And it's too cumbersome to transport. ”

Link laughs, "So I might need to build a large hatchery on my own." At least until I can buy enough fry from other fisheries. ”

The construction period of those cages is also quite long. He can start by building a larger nursery to supply seedlings for the cages in the early stage. You can also sign contracts with other fisheries first, and when they have the ability to breed salmon fry, they can supply them with seedlings.

"Sockeye salmon and whitefish should all be farmed. There is now less and less naturally caught seafood around the world, but the demand is increasing. China, in particular, imports hundreds of thousands of tons of salmon every year like Europe. That's a pretty big market. Chicken Pan is also a big consumer of sockeye salmon, with at least 80 percent of U.S. sockeye salmon exported. ”

Link nodded and said, "So, I'm applying to Russia for a sea farming area." ”

Salmon is a cold-water fish, and high-density farming requires fish in open water and well-flowed sea areas. In the Taiping Show, the best sea area, of course, is the North North Pacific. The Pacific coasts of Canada and Alaska, and the coasts of Siberia are all available.

"You might also be able to buy fry from China. They are also world-renowned for their ability to breed aquaculture. I remember that they had long mastered the techniques of raising humpback salmon from Northeast Asia and Siberian spotted salmon. ”

Link listened to his adoptive father's suggestion, thought about it for a moment, nodded and said, "Maybe I can go and inspect their seedling raising ability." ”

He paused, and then added, "But I intend to build a nursery on the edge of Ozette." Can you help me with some guidance?"

"Absolutely. "Jeff is still very confident in what he does best. He laughs. "I can give you some advice on building a field, and I can also help you develop some technicians. ”

Fish farming, Link is still planning. If you want to start farming, you need to wait for the cages to be built. And he hasn't really started to invest in building cages yet. Jeff also has a lot of time to help him develop technicians.

Link smiled and said, "Thank you, Dad!"

Jeff patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go out and see how they're ready." This year, we should be able to harvest 15,000 pounds of fish in our fishery. I can probably send your mom a RV she likes, while Alice goes to college. She and I can travel around in our RV whenever we have time. ”

Link smiled and said, "Why don't I give you a custom-built luxury bus." ”

"That's too flamboyant. Jeff smiled and shook his head. "It's still a good motorhome to go camping anywhere. However, you may be able to buy your own one and play around. ”

Link just smiled.

In fact, Jeff is not out of money to buy a custom-made luxury bus now. The Hans Fishery generates hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue every year. And luxury buses, with millions of dollars, are about the same. He can afford it, and he can afford it. I just don't want to do that.

They walked out of the fry workshop, and Link saw that the workers were still waiting on the shore. It's not that they're lazy, it's that the water in the pond is too deep for them to go into the water to fish.

Link asked Jeff as he walked along, "Dad, how long will it take to get all that farming sewage to be treated?"

"After about 20 days, the clarified water can be discharged. The main thing is to remove excess nutrients from the water body. The sedimented silt will be transported by the farm. You know, that's good fertilizer. ”

Farming water is recyclable. However, the cost of recycling is relatively high. And the Hans fishery has dug a well of its own, although the amount of water is not very large, but it is enough for his own use.

The water used for aquaculture here is usually simply treated and discharged to the outside after meeting the discharge standards. However, after such a long period of farming, the wastewater from aquaculture will precipitate a lot of sludge. Aquaculture ponds will also have a fairly thick layer of silt.

"There is a lot of sediment in the pond during farming, and how often does it need to be cleaned?"

"At the beginning of farming, we need to suction every three months, and then we need to suction every 15 to 20 days. However, it is only to ensure that there is not too much organic matter at the bottom of the pond. You know, that stuff is mostly feed and fish feces, which can easily breed bacteria and consume a lot of oxygen. ”

Link was thoughtful.

As he was thinking, a hungry red sports car drove into the gate of the fishing grounds, and a flute sounded. This interrupted his train of thought.

Jeff laughed and said, "Is it Bill's car?"

"It's him. Link said with a smirk. "He's still so flamboyant. ”

"Haha, that's the vitality that young people should have!"
