Chapter 219: Stocking Abalone Fry
It's always very happy that your own views can be recognized by others, no wonder Boss Luo would give Xiao Ping such a high evaluation. However, Xiao Ping didn't come all the way to discuss business ideas with Boss Luo, so he quickly turned to the topic and said, "Boss Luo, how many abalone fry do you have here?"
When it comes to business, Boss Luo also became serious, and silently calculated in his heart: "I still have more than 4,000 abalone fry here, but I don't know how big your farm is, Mr. Xiao Daoxiao?"
Xiao Ping replied honestly: "About twenty-five acres." ”
Boss Luo was taken aback and said, "It's so big, more than 4,000 grains are not enough!"
Xiao Ping knew that Boss Luo was calculated according to the standard of cage breeding, and immediately smiled slightly: "Don't tell you Boss Luo, I have always insisted on taking the jīng product route, and I will use a semi-free-range way to breed abalone, and if the number is too much, twenty-five acres of water area will not be able to bear it." ”
As soon as he heard that Xiao Ping actually planned to raise abalone semi-free-range, Boss Luo immediately respected him, and quickly nodded: "I see, those farmers should learn more from Mr. Xiao." If you plan to keep them free-range, I have almost enough abalone fry here, I wonder when you plan to pick them up?"
"Naturally, the sooner the better. Xiao Ping was not ambiguous, and immediately asked: "I don't know what the price of abalone fry here is Boss Lu Daoluo?"
Boss Luo replied with a deep groan: "I am a real wild reticulated abalone seedling, the specifications are all more than one centimeter, and the market price is two pieces of sixty-one grains." But for the sake of Mr. Xiao, you are dedicated to cultivating jīng abalone. Even if it's two pieces of five. How?"
Xiao Ping also checked the price of abalone fry before leaving, and knew that the boss of Daoluo did open a real price, and he had no intention of counteroffering, so he immediately nodded and said: "Just follow this price, but I want to pick up the goods as soon as possible." ”
"No problem. Boss Luo said simply: "I'll let the workers prepare now, and the goods will be delivered early tomorrow morning at the latest." ”
Since he couldn't go back until tomorrow, Xiao Pingsuo and the taxi driver who was waiting outside said that he would charter an extra day and go back to Nanhai City tomorrow. Of course, it is good to have such a business, and the driver agreed without thinking about it. Xiao Ping found a hotel in the town closest to the farm to make do with the night, and rushed back to the farm early the next morning to pick up the goods.
Boss Luo's eyes were red. Apparently it was a busy all-nighter last night. However, he was not busy in vain, and more than 4,000 abalone fry were packed into plastic sealed boxes. Because considering the long way for Xiao Ping to go back, Boss Luo also deliberately reduced the density of abalone fry in the box, so the abalone fry that only needed two boxes were dispersed into five boxes.
"Mr. Xiao. All the abalone fry are here, a total of more than 4,100 grains, let's count it at 4,000 grains. Boss Luo pointed to the five boxes and said, "Do you want to open them and count them?"
Thinking that he was introduced by Boss Luo's acquaintance, and forgive him for not playing tricks with him in terms of quantity, Xiao Ping waved his hand generously and said, "No need, I can't trust you anymore?"
The feeling of being trusted made Boss Luo very happy, and said to Xiao Ping with a smile: "Then I'll let someone oxygenate the box." I've lowered the transport density so that the abalone fry can be refilled with oxygen to ensure that the abalone fry are safe for 48 hours, but it would be hard to say if it was beyond that time. ”
In fact, Xiao Ping doesn't need two days and two nights at all, as long as the abalone fry can stick to Nanhai City. However, Boss Luo's careful arrangement still made Xiao Ping very satisfied. He laughed and said, "That's the best." If I raise it well this year, I will come here next year to buy goods, and I will ask Boss Luo to take care of it when the time comes. ”
Boss Luo said happily: "It's easy to say, it's a little late this year, as long as you come next year, Mr. Xiao, I will definitely leave you with the best abalone fry." ”
"That's good, it's a deal!" Xiao Ping said as he paid Boss Luo the money for buying abalone fry. After the two settled the money, several plastic boxes were also moved onto the car by the workers
Xiao Ping waved goodbye to Boss Luo, and then got in the car and embarked on a trip back to Nanhai City. The taxi driver was very enthusiastic, and Xiao Ping brought abalone fry back. I'm afraid that I will be delayed on the road for too long, and I will drive the car fast along the way. Xiao Ping was not as anxious as the driver, and kept reminding him on the road to drive slowly, it was not worth it to get into a car accident for a few thousand abalone fry.
Fortunately, the driver had good driving skills and returned to Nanhai City without danger. Xiao Ping found a more secluded place for the driver to stop. Falsely claimed to have told someone to meet here, and finally sent the enthusiastic driver away.
Take advantage of the fact that there is no one around. Xiao Ping directly put the five big boxes into the demon refining pot, and then went to the city center to find a five-star hotel to live in. Xiao Ping hung up a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door, and then couldn't wait to enter the demon refining pot.
The five boxes were neatly placed on the grass next to the spring, and Xiao Ping ran three times to finally move them all to the sea. When he opened the first box, he saw that there were many thin stone chips neatly stacked in it. These flakes are kept at a distance by the specially designed protrusions in the box, just in the middle of which there is room for abalone fry to move.
The abalone has a strong attachment and will stick firmly to the rock when it is disturbed, so even if you break the shell of the abalone, don't try to get it off the rock. Therefore, when transporting a large number of abalone fry, they are transported together with the stone chips to which they are attached. Otherwise, not only will a lot of time be wasted, but it will also injure many abalone fry and affect the survival rate of feeding.
Xiao Ping lightly took out the thin stone chips from the box, and then slowly put them into the seawater around him, allowing the abalone fry attached to them to climb into the sea on their own.
Each plastic box contained four thin stone chips, and Xiao Ping quickly put all the stone chips in one box into the sea. Then he changed places and began to put the abalone fry in the second box into the sea as well. This method is also Boss Luo reminded Xiao Ping, the advantage of this is that the abalone fry can be more evenly dispersed in the feeding area, so as to avoid the local abalone fry density in the feeding area is too high, resulting in abalone fry competing with each other for food.
It took Xiao Ping some time to put all the stone chips in the five boxes into the sea. At this time, he looked back at the stone chips that had been put into the sea first, and found that the abalone fry that had been densely packed on them had almost disappeared, and all of them had climbed onto the nearby reef.
The abalone fry slowly crawled on the rocks, leaving a trail behind them that was different from the one around them. This is undoubtedly a good sign for Xiao Ping, indicating that the abalone fry have begun to gnaw on the seaweed on the rocks. Abalone fry will only start eating after they have adapted to their surroundings, and the environment in the demon refining pot obviously makes abalone fry feel very comfortable, so their appetite will be so good.
Xiao Ping immersed his face under the water, held his breath and watched the abalone fry crawl and eat, slowly spreading out at the bottom of the sea. Don't look at the more than 4,000 abalones, which sounds like a lot, but these abalone fry, which are only the size of a one-yuan coin, are scattered in a water area of 25 acres, which is nothing. Soon the abalone fry were scattered, and Xiao Ping would have been difficult to distinguish from the rocks if he had not looked carefully, as if he had never put anything into the sea.
"Come on, eat and grow up quickly!" Xiao Ping poked his head out of the sea, and had high expectations for these abalone fry.
The environment in the demon refining pot is naturally very good, and there is no doubt that it will be very suitable for the growth of abalone. In addition, Xiao Ping bought a purebred wild reticulated abalone, and the good abalone seeds and the environment in the demon refining pot made it not unusual to cultivate extremely high-quality abalone. As far as Xiao Ping knows, tens of thousands of high-quality large abalone on the market are sold. Especially those that are particularly large, such as three-headed abalone and two-headed abalone, are more expensive. At present, even the two abalone are in a situation where there is no price and no market, and the so-called "money is difficult to buy two abalone". If Xiao Ping can cultivate a larger single-headed abalone, this newly emerging sea can easily bring him tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan in income.
Xiao Ping lingered in the sea for a long time, until all the abalone fry had crawled away from the thin stone slab, and he came out of the water and walked barefoot to the spring a few miles away.
From the beach by the sea to the area around the spring, there is a large green meadow. The calves that Xiao Ping bought from Australia gathered in twos and threes to graze and rest, so it was a leisurely idyllic scene.
It has been a month since Xiao Ping had been raised in the demon refining pot, and all the calves were very healthy, and all of them had grown up significantly. The calves, whose shoulders were only up to the middle of Xiao Ping's thighs, are now generally as tall as his waist. The little bulls, in particular, were even bigger, and they had horns on their heads. Xiao Ping estimates that if this continues, he will be able to start breeding calves by the end of the year, and there will undoubtedly be another way to make money.
Because Xiao Ping often appeared in the demon refining pot, those calves were not afraid of him for a long time. A particularly lively little bull also boldly walked up to Xiao Ping's side and looked at him curiously with big bull's eyes.
Xiao Ping slowly stretched out his hand, and the calf hesitated for a moment before sticking out his tongue and gently licking his fingers. Because Xiao Ping had just come up from the sea, the salty smell of seawater on his fingers was obviously very popular with the calf, and the more he licked it, the happier he became, and when it reached the end, he almost took Xiao Ping's entire hand into his mouth.
The calf's behavior also reminded Xiao Ping, and he returned to the beach and filled some seawater with a plastic box containing abalone fry, and left it to bask in the sun. Over time, the water will evaporate, leaving sea salt that can be used to feed the cows, which can be regarded as replenishing some minerals for them.
Because Xiao Ping is staying in a hotel right now, he doesn't want to stay in the demon refining pot for too long. He even carved a few knives on the jade leaves, which he usually had to carve, and left the demon refining pot in a hurry.
Xiao Ping only stayed in the hotel for one night, and checked out the next day with the intention of rushing back as soon as possible. However, before he could get out of the hotel lobby, he was stopped by a man.
