Chapter 218 Abalone Fry Farm
After a few hours on the plane, Xiao Ping finally arrived in Nanhai City, the capital of Nanhai Province. Nam Hai Province is a famous tourist destination, and every year, I don't know how many tourists come here to enjoy the salty beaches and delicious fresh seafood.
Nanhai is also the first stop for most tourists to Nanhai Province, and the city's tourism industry is booming as a result. As soon as Xiao Ping came out of the airport, he saw many buses parked waiting for customers. Most of the destinations are nearby tourist attractions, and some cars are heading to Shanya, another tourist city in the southern part of Nanhai Island.
However, Xiao Ping came to buy abalone fry, and his destination was neither Nanhai City nor Shanya City, but Wenchang City, located in the northeast of Nanhai Island. Xiao Ping didn't bother to look for a long-distance bus anymore, called a taxi at the airport, and went straight to Wenchang City.
Nanhai Island is a tourist destination, with blue skies, clear waters, and lush green hills along the way, and the environment is truly refreshing. The taxi driver was also in a good mood after taking over this big business, and from time to time he introduced the characters of the South China Sea to Xiao Ping, and he didn't feel bored on the road.
The taxi sped along the highway and finally entered the territory of Wenchang City. Wenchang City already has a large number of seafood breeding bases, and Xiao Ping soon saw a large number of bamboo rafts floating on the sea. The taxi driver introduced him to the cage farm. Long strings of cages are hung from these bamboo rafts, and most of the seafood is shellfish.
Seeing the scale of cage farming in Wenchang City, Xiao Ping also understood why Ma Jie wanted to introduce himself here. There are so many farms, and there are naturally many farms that breed abalone fry.
It didn't take long to enter the scope of Wenchang City. Xiao Ping called the two farms introduced by Ma Jie. The owner of one of them said that the last 3,000 abalone fry had been sold. In this way, Xiao Ping had no other choice and asked the driver to drive to the last farm.
This farm is located in a relatively remote place in Wenchang City, even if Xiao Ping has asked the exact address, the taxi driver still looked for a long time to find the farm, which made Xiao Ping feel a little embarrassed. However, the taxi driver didn't care, and in turn told Xiao Ping that the farther away the farm was from the city, the better. Because such places are less polluted. The quality of the shellfish raised is also higher.
When Xiao Ping came to the door of this farm called Haiyu, Boss Luo here personally greeted him at the door. Boss Luo is a strong and swarthy middle-aged man, and it can be seen that he is a man who has worked at sea all year round. The friend entrusted by Ma Jie obviously has a good relationship with Boss Luo. So he was also very enthusiastic about Xiao Ping, holding his hand tightly and saying in not very standard Mandarin: "Mr. Xiao, Lao Wang called the day before yesterday and said that you were coming." I've been waiting for you, and I've finally got you!"
Speaking from the heart, Boss Luo's enthusiasm made Xiao Ping a little uncomfortable, he withdrew his hand silently, but he still smiled happily on the surface: "I'm sorry, there is something to delay for a day, so Boss Luo, you have been waiting for a long time." \\\\”
"There's nothing to do, nothing to do. Boss Luo waved his hand and said, "Everyone is good friends, it's nothing to wait for a few days." Mr. Xiao has worked hard from afar, why don't you take a rest and have a light meal first, and then go to the farm tomorrow to see the abalone fry?"
Xiao Ping didn't come all the way to eat, he immediately shook his head and said, "Don't eat the meal yet." It's still important to look at the abalone fry, but is it convenient to know the boss of Daoluo?"
Of course, Boss Luo hoped to make this deal as soon as possible, and hurriedly agreed: "Convenient, convenient, please come with me!"
Xiao Ping followed Boss Luo into the farm. It turned out that it was right behind it by the sea. However, there are no flat sandy beaches on this coast, and there are all craggy reefs. The waves crash against the reef and make white sè sprays, and then quickly disappear between the black sè reefs.
Finding that Xiao Ping was looking at the reef that was being beaten by the waves, Boss Luo immediately introduced to him: "Don't look at the remoteness of our breeding site, but the water quality here is very good, and it is the most suitable for breeding abalone." The seawater in the pond is taken directly from the sea. It is cycled 24 hours a day to simulate the natural environment, and even the feed for the abalone is collected from the nearby sea. It can be said that the abalone in our farm is no different from the wild ones, and the abalone fry produced are among the best on the island. ”
Boss Luo's tone revealed a clear sense of pride, and it could be seen that he was very proud of his farm. Xiao Ping appreciates his attitude, only such a person can seriously run his own business, which makes Xiao Ping more confident in buying high-quality abalone fry.
The pond where the abalone fry are raised is in the innermost part of the farm, and before entering the pond, Boss Luo asked Xiao Ping to change into the rubber waterproof overalls that fishermen often wear. After wearing this overalls, it is possible to walk around in waist-deep water without getting yourself wet.
Then the two officially entered the pond where the abalone fry were raised. The depth of the water in the pool has exceeded Xiao Ping's knees, and the huge cement pool is placed with thin stone flakes of uniform size, and under the guidance of Boss Luo, Xiao Ping quickly found abalone fry on the stone flakes.
These abalone fry look very similar to the finished abalone that Xiao Ping saw in the aquatic market, but they are undoubtedly much smaller, and the diameter is only about a centimeter. The abalone fry crawled slowly on the stone chips, and the number of abalone fry on some stone chips was very large, so dense that Xiao Ping felt that his scalp was a little itchy.
In contrast, Boss Luo's expression was much softer, as if he was looking at his favorite thing, and he introduced to Xiao Ping in a proud tone: "These are all pure-bred reticulated abalone seedlings, and the abalone is specially imported by me from rìben." Don't look at these abalone fry growing slower, it's hard to serve, but the size and quality of those hybrid abalone after they grow up are not comparable to those hybrid abalones!"
Speaking of this, Boss Luo showed a very contemptuous expression, and couldn't help but complain to Xiao Ping: "Now many people's vision is too short, what kind of hybrid abalone is bred and high-density cage culture, can it be called abalone?
I didn't expect Boss Luo, who didn't look amazing, to have such an eye, and Xiao Ping couldn't help but be a little surprised. However, Boss Luo's point of view is in line with Xiao Ping's idea of taking the jīng product route, so Xiao Ping immediately agreed: "You are right, no matter what line you want to get ahead in, it will never work just by making big road goods, you must have jīng products that you can handle!"
Xiao Ping's words made Boss Luo regard him as a bosom friend, and immediately thought it was true: "It's not, or Mr. Xiao, you have insight!"
