In the past few years, although Su Yuanyang and his daughter-in-law have been diligent, in addition to two crops of rice, one crop of peanuts, and one crop of sweet potatoes a year, they also grow all kinds of vegetables to sell, and they can also save a few dollars.

Oysters are grown by microorganisms in the sea and do not need to be cultured artificially. Therefore, the cost of cultivation is basically the cost of oyster seedlings and labor.

The aquaculture company's artificial oyster cultivation technology has just formed a theory, and it is in the stage of starting to implement yàn in its own base. Cheng Hui took into account that the company's breeding base is located in a relatively single sea area, and the farmers in different sea areas can improve the technology more quickly and save costs, so the price to Su Yuanyang is quite low, Su Yuanyang intends to breed an area of about five acres, according to the number of cement pillars per mu is about 1500-2000, he only symbolically charged a total of 10,000 yuan of seedling costs.

In terms of labor, Su Yuanyang does not plan to hire people for a long time, so he and his daughter-in-law Li Wanzhen will do it for the time being. It's too busy to figure it out.

I also had to buy two working boats. Su Yuanyang calculated that it would cost about 2,000 yuan to buy second-hand goods, and 4,000 yuan to buy two.

Combined with the freight required to transport oyster seedlings, the total cost is currently calculated at 15,000 for the time being.

Of course, the Su family's savings are not so much. That night, Su Yuanyang and Li Wanzhen pulled out the deposit slip at home, and it was about 2,000 yuan. Su Yuanyang thought of his two younger brothers-

Su Yuanyang has two younger brothers, the second Su Yuanhe, the third Su Yuanjiang, and a younger sister Su Suling. The money is more abundant than Su Yuanyang.

According to Su Yuanyang's original intention, he felt that this farm was promising, and he wanted to pull his two younger brothers to do it together. He always felt that it was better to work hard at home than to leave home. Now is a great opportunity.

So I called my two younger brothers and sisters-in-law to come over and discuss together.

But fundraising wasn't as smooth as he liked.

Su Yuanjiang and Su Yuanhe are still a little worried about the future of the farm, and the people in the nearby villages are not without seafood farming, raising more snails, and it is better to go out to work in the dark to make money and not to work so hard with a foot of mud and a foot of water. The cultivation of oysters is even more unheard of, so he is very hesitant to mention the eldest brother.

At this time, the second daughter-in-law Chen Rihong and the third daughter-in-law Chen Yumei also took the opportunity to express their suspicions on the side. Originally, they felt that the uncle's mention was very risky, and they were quite satisfied with the current situation of their men going out to work, and they didn't want to have any variables.

This was originally a matter of crossing the river by feeling the stones, Su Yuanyang had ideas and drive, but he must be a little bottomless in his heart, and no one can guarantee this kind of thing.

Fortunately, although the two younger brothers had a wait-and-see attitude, they still said that they could lend him the amount that Su Yuanyang needed, and when Su Yuanyang wrote them an IOU, he said that he didn't need it, but the two brothers-in-law felt that their brothers still had to settle accounts, and it was better to have an IOU.

Su Yan has been watching from the sidelines. She is full of confidence in opening a farm, after all, at this time, the aquaculture industry has just emerged, and their Haicheng is not an industrial city, now there is no pollution in the sea, the marine ecology is good, and now the oysters are put into the food to raise enough, and the oysters grow quickly, which can greatly reduce the harvest time.

Although there has been no contact in this life, since the previous life, those two aunts have never been fuel-efficient lamps. Now that I haven't seen the future, I am definitely likely to lose money, and the two aunts naturally avoid it. If there is a bumper harvest in the future, the two sisters-in-law will definitely have other ideas, maybe they will pick up the two uncles to divide the money. Even if the two uncles are not affected by their pillow wind, they will hurt the feelings between the brothers if they quarrel, and Su Yan doesn't want her parents' hard-earned fruits to be divided like this.

In order to avoid unnecessary troubles that may occur in the future, Su Yan distracted the two uncles by selling cuteness in time when they felt that their mother-in-law didn't give her face and wanted to lose her temper. Su Yuanyang immediately wrote an IOU in duplicate, one for his two younger brothers and daughters-in-law, and one for himself. and borrowed 8,000 pieces from each of them.

Carrying the money borrowed from his younger brother's family, Su Yuanyang was half excited and half worried.

The matter of money was solved, and then, Su Yuanyang spent two days studying the technical manual, and then borrowed a small boat to go to sea to select a site.

Su Yan took advantage of Su's father's lack of attention, and also flipped through the technical manual a few times. Originally, I also wanted to follow Su's father to the sea, but after all, because he was too young, Su's father didn't dare to take it, and entrusted her and her younger brother Su Kai to the neighbor Li Sumei to watch, and he went out with Li Wanzhen.

The location of the site is very smooth. The next day, Su Yuanyang went to the town to see the boat, and it happened that there was a family in the neighboring village who used to raise snails and wanted to sell the two boats in his hand cheaply, so he immediately bought the boat back.

The next day, Su Yuanyang took Su Yan to the city and asked the aquatic company to pull the oyster seedlings directly to the sea.

It is not a small project to evenly distribute nearly 10,000 cement pillars into the five acres of shallow sea. In the next two days, the Su family and his wife began to get up early and touch the dark, fortunately, Su Yuanhe and Su Yuanjiang had not gone out, Su Yuanyang pulled them to help for a day, and finally set up the oyster seedlings in two days.

It's winter, although Haicheng is not as cold as the north, and wearing plastic clothes, but it is still very cold in the sea, several people are tired enough in the past two days, Li Wanzhen killed the only two chickens in the family, and went to get two catties of rice wine, thanks to Su Yuanhe and Su Yuanjiang for their help.

For the next period of time, just the daily management was not so tiring. Su Yuanyang mostly went to the sea to inspect and observe by himself.

After being thrown into the sea by Su's father and learning to swim, Su Yan was finally allowed to take it to the oyster field by Su's father occasionally.

The oysters grew day by day, getting heavier and heavier, and one day Su Yan found that the cement pillar was sinking some distance, and some oysters were about to sink into the mud, so she hurriedly called Su's father to come and see.

This problem is not in the technical manual, fortunately Su Yan found it early, otherwise the oysters would have died if they were covered with floating mud for a long time, and the loss would be not small. Su's father was busy checking one by one, and as soon as he found that there were stuck in the mud, he immediately lifted them up and placed them in the stronger mud nearby.

When he was done, he remembered to report this to Cheng Hui, and took Su Yan to the city. Cheng Hui immediately sent someone to inspect the self-operated base, and sure enough, he found that there was the same problem, and some of the buried oysters had begun to die! This time Su Yuanyang has made a great contribution.

When it came to rewarding meritorious deeds, Su Yan reminded Su Yuanyang and asked to sign another contract on more favorable terms, and as long as Su Yuanyang went to the aquatic company to buy seedlings in the future, he would be two percent lower than the market price. Cheng Hui readily agreed.

Su Yan also received a reward from Su Yuanyang - a small dress and a small flower umbrella.

After two more shifts, the oysters grew large enough to do another big job -- to move the cement pillars filled with oysters from shallow to deeper waters.

This is more tiring than when the seedlings were planted at the beginning, and the cement pillars are now much heavier than before. Fortunately, there was no requirement to finish it within two days this time, and the Su family and his wife got up early in the morning and worked hard for a week before it was finally completed.

After that, Su's father still went to sea every day, but Su Yan was not allowed to follow.

Although Su Yan has deliberately hidden it, she still seems to be precocious than other children of the same age, and she will take care of herself when she is more than three years old, and when her parents are going to sea, she will take Su Kai, who is more than one year old, to play. If it weren't for the fact that it was too dangerous for Su Kai to burn the earthen stove next to him, Su Yan would have to cook by herself. Fortunately, the Su family's parents have too many things to do, so they should be the children of the poor as soon as possible.

It was a busy couple of months, and it was winter again. Finally, when Su Yuanyang and Li Wanzhen were both dark and thin, one day, Su Yuanyang brought back a plastic bag, and inside the plastic bag was a cement pillar full of oysters. Su Yuanyang pryed a few to cook the soup, the milky white soup was delicious and delicious, and the oysters were light and smooth, which was a different taste than grilled oysters with garlic.

Su Yan was excited for another night - the oysters were finally harvested!
