Chapter 54: Koi
Noticing Qin Xiuwu's love for koi, Xu Yang, the owner of the fishery, also performed an interaction with koi for him, which almost shocked his eyes.
Xu Yang chose an eighty or ninety centimeter long tea carp. This is the fastest-growing and most daring of the koi fish.
Seeing Xu Yang coming, the tea carp swam over happily, opening its big mouth and waiting for him to feed.
Xu Yang smiled mysteriously at Qin Xiuwu, and took out a milk bottle from his back, which contained a thick soup-like feed. He laughed and said to Qin Xiuwu, "Little brother, take a good look, this tea carp is not an ordinary fish, this is a carefully fed pacifier fish." ”
As he spoke, he stuffed the pacifier into the mouth of the tea carp, and saw the mouth of the tea carp open and close, and after a while, he finished eating a bottle of feed. It looked like an adult feeding a child, how could this not surprise Qin Xiuwu.
Xu Yang smiled proudly and said, "In fact, as long as the koi fish is big, it is possible to breed it into a pacifier fish, but the tea carp is the easiest to cultivate because of its boldness." And even if the cultivation fails, the koi can be fed by hand. ”
After saying that, he demonstrated, his index finger and thumb pinched together, as if pinching fish feed, seeing his action, the koi fish swam out of the water and waited for him to feed. Xu Yang reached out and stuffed it into the koi's mouth, and he completed the feeding action. He patted the koi on the head, and the koi did not resist, looking like he was enjoying it.
This scene made Qin Xiuwu's eyes hot, who would have thought that this little koi would be able to play this trick. This is simply the best pet fish.
Especially Xu Yang bragged there in order to make him make up his mind to buy. "Koi is a very valuable creature, and you can flip through the pages and you can see a koi fish everywhere on it, and it will be auctioned for millions of dollars. If you want to inadvertently raise such a koi, you don't have to worry about life. ”
Of course, this is just bragging, just like buying a lottery ticket, some people can win hundreds of millions, and they can eat and drink without worrying about it for the rest of their lives. No matter how lavishly you spend, you can't lose such a large amount of money.
However, in fact, the lottery players who have bought a lifetime of lottery tickets but have been losing money are the most.
If you want to breed a few koi fish casually, you may sell them for tens of millions of dollars, which can only be said that he is unrealistic.
But it was different to Qin Xiuwu's ears, he had the golden finger of the earth essence, it was not impossible to cultivate such a valuable koi, even if it could not be successful, it was very possible to produce koi worth tens of thousands in batches.
So he directly bought some well-blooded, brightly colored koi fish back to breed.
When he bought the koi fish back, as soon as he told Ruoyou and a few people, several people immediately frowned, thinking that his idea was a bit taken for granted.
Erdemutu has a bold personality and doesn't know how to turn around when doing things, so he said directly to him, "Brother Qin, you think about this very well, but it is very difficult to do, we are just a newly opened ranch, and now even the ranch has not been completed, let alone breeding koi." ”
Qin Chengwen also persuaded him, "It's a very good idea, but now, we still have to focus on grazing, as for breeding koi carp, you can let them go, and we'll talk about it later." ”
Although the words are good, in fact, I am still not optimistic about his decision.
But not everyone thinks about him, and Ruolan is a master who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic. She clapped her hands and said happily, "Brother-in-law, good idea, it just so happens that there is a small lake in front of the door, only seven or eight hundred acres. The entrances and exits on both sides are not wide, only twenty or thirty meters. We can fence the top and bottom sides with purse seine nets and breed koi in the middle. ”
This was a bad idea that Ruolan came up with on a whim. But he gave Qin Xiuwu a good idea.
Mongolia is dry and rainless, and the river is rarely flooded even in summer. In this way, as long as the two sides are fenced, it is completely fine, and it is perfectly suitable to see it as a closed fish pond, in which to breed koi fish.
In addition, the geothermal resources here are abundant, and even in winter, the temperature of the river does not drop much, and the koi can grow as usual. Compared with the koi in other places in the north, the koi fish here are much cheaper, and the koi grow for many months a year, and the koi can be bred quickly.
Qin Xiuwu immediately made a decision. "I'll talk about that later, but I've decided to pull up the purse seine first. Anyway, I'm not going to let this lake sit idle, so I can pull up the purse seine net first and catch all the big fish in it. Then decide what kind of fish to raise. ”
The others wanted to say more, but seeing Qin Xiuwu's firm eyes, they could only shake their heads helplessly. This ranch is his property, as long as it doesn't endanger the safety of others, isn't it as bad as he wants? It was not good for them to veto Qin Xiuwu's decision again and again.
Moreover, if it can really succeed, there is no small profit in it.
This matter was arranged in this way, Erdemutu was responsible for buying fishing nets, Qin Chengwen was responsible for leading people to pull up purse seine nets on both sides, and he contacted the construction company to build two small bridges on both sides of the lake.
The construction of the small bridge was an impromptu suggestion of Erdemutu, and the pasture was divided in two by the river, which had previously had only a small wooden bridge, but now it was time to replace it. Qin Xiuwu decided to build two small bridges by the way. This makes it easier for both sides to come and go.
After negotiating with Tianyuan Construction Company, they promised to come over tomorrow to build the bridge.
Taking advantage of the time to pull the seine net, Qin Xiuwu decided to take Ruoyou and take a look around the ranch.
Spring has arrived, everything has come to life, and the grass seeds have long taken root and sprouted. Under the effect of the ripening and growth of the earth essence, the grass grows rapidly, some have grown to more than 20 centimeters tall, and the rest are more than 10 centimeters.
This makes the herders who graze their herds all year round unbelievable, which can be called a miracle, considering that the pastures in other places have only just sprouted, and the most lush pasture grass is only about ten centimeters.
The first thing I went to was the shepherd dog breeding base in the west. The breeding base is five rows of low-rise houses side by side. There is also a fenced off open space in front of the house that serves as a place for the dogs. There are about eighty meters and forty kennels in a row.
Originally, there were more than 800 dogs living in it, and there were four shepherd dogs in one of them. Now due to the sale, there are only one or two shepherd dogs in the kennel every day, which seems a bit empty.
It's just that with the beginning of shepherd dog breeding, Qin Xiuwu believes that there will soon be shepherd dogs in it, growing and reproducing. The breeding base will also prosper again.
Above the herding dog breeding base is the wolf's nest, where hundreds of wolves come and go. In fact, Qin Xiuwu didn't build much of a wolf's nest, just let the wolves lean against the slope of the hill and dig a cave on it. A gentle slope is densely packed with wolf holes, because the soil here is soft and suitable for digging holes, and some wolf holes are even five or six meters deep.
Seeing the two of them coming, the wolves were not afraid, and some familiar wolves would even run over, rubbing Qin Xiuwu's trouser legs affectionately with their heads, and wagging their tails at him like dogs, obviously tamed well.
The wolf pack here is distributed according to families, and each family consists of male wolves, female wolves, and young wolves. These wolves sat or lay on their stomachs, basking in the sun leisurely, and from time to time wolves who went out to hunt came back with hares in their mouths. It is precisely because of their existence that the arrogant hare can be suppressed.
Now the wolves have not yet reproduced, and in a month or two, many wolf cubs will be born, and there will be a lot of excitement at that time.
Then Qin Xiuwu led Ruoyou down the hills and wandered all the way to the west. As the grass grows, the cattle and sheep also begin to graze leisurely in the pasture.
