Chapter 10: The Enemies of Oysters
On the first day of rest, Su Yan took Su Yuanyang to the city, asked him to open a bank account for her, and solemnly deposited her 1,000 yuan.
Su Yuanyang looked funny: "Nan, don't you leave some to buy candy for yourself?" ā
Su Yan smiled innocently: "Sugar Daddy will buy it for me, won't he?" ā
Su Yuanyang suddenly felt that he had a toothache.
Returning from the city with sugar, Su Yuanyang planned to go to the farm to have a look. In the past few days, he has always felt as if something is wrong when he looks at the oysters, and he can't see what is wrong, so he always thinks about going to see it again.
Su Yan was fine anyway, and she also went to sea with her.
When he arrived at the oyster field, Su Yuanyang frowned and looked at the oyster pillars one by one, and before he could think clearly, Su Yan, who had not been out to sea for a long time, saw that the problem was coming.
"Dad, what's this?" Su Yan asked, pointing to the translucent gelatinous object attached to the shell of an oyster.
Su Yuanyang patted his head, he finally knew why he felt that something was wrong! He knows this thing, he has seen someone fish it back to feed the chickens and ducks before, it seems to be called a lychee snail! The translucent thing that Su Yan found was the egg sac of the lychee snail, which was produced by the lychee snail, and the young snail would hatch after a month. Last year's oyster farm did not show this, but this year the farm has been expanded, and lychee snails and oocysts appear in an area of nearly one acre on the left side.
After finding out what the problem was, Su Yuanyang put down his heart, and was in the mood to explain to Su Yan, and laughed that these oocysts appeared at the right time, just enough to be used as food for oysters.
When Su Yan heard the three words of lychee snail, her face turned pale. She remembered that in her previous life, Su's father and Su's mother went to work on the oyster farm as usual, but the construction period was more than half of that in previous years.
Su Yan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly reminded Su's father: "Dad, get rid of the lychee snail and the egg sac!" ā
"Why?" Su Yuanyang teased his daughter.
"Who knows if these things are good or bad!" Su Yan said, "There were no lychee snails last year, don't oysters grow well?" There's always a good way to do more, right? If this thing really hurts the oyster seedlings, it's terrible! ā
Su Yuanyang thought about it and felt that too, they couldn't afford to take this risk. So he called Su Xingqun and Chen Wenyu, who were on another boat not far away, and told them that they had to remove the lychee snails and egg sacs, take the things and take them back to feed the chickens, ducks, or pigs, and they couldn't stay in the sea anyway.
"Why don't you go to the city tomorrow and ask Uncle Cheng Hui?" Su Yan saw that Su Yuanyang was not very sure, so he might as well go and check with a professional.
"In two days!" Su Yuanyang said. He didn't worry about the farm handing over Su Xingqun and the two of them like this, and he had to do the removal work with them personally.
Su Yan nodded, just have this attitude of importance, anyway, she has already determined that this lychee snail is the natural enemy of oysters, and it is better to remove it as soon as possible. The purpose of asking her father to find Cheng Hui is actually to make him realize the danger of this thing, Cheng Hui is an aquatic company, and he should know the habits of lychee snails very well.
In the next time, Su Yuanyang spent the rest of his time in the farm except for sending people and things to the town in the morning. In this way, another week passed, first the nearly acre of land where lychee snails were found was completely cleared, and then the entire farm was searched in a carpet manner, confirming that there was no trace of lychee snails and the oocysts laid by them, and then I was relieved.
Fortunately, at this time, the lychee snail has just begun to lay eggs, and there are not many egg sacs attached to the oyster shell.
However, Su Yuanyang still asked Su Xingqun and Chen Wenyu to pay more attention to these foreign shellfish during their daily maintenance, and to discuss with him immediately if there was any abnormality.
Temporarily relieved, Su Yuanyang remembered that the aquatic company was here, and he didn't know if this would happen to the farm over there, so he thought it would be better to go over and let him know. After the farmers delivered the goods that day, he inquired with them that the lychee snails were carnivorous, and they usually feed on barnacles and other shellfish, which is the enemy of their shellfish farming! At that time, he heard him in a cold sweat, but fortunately, Su Yan's sharp eyes found out that day, otherwise those young snails would have hatched later, and the oysters that had not yet grown up would have become food for these young snails!
The next day, he went to the aquatic company to find Cheng Hui. This year, the fishery company expanded the oyster farm to 100 acres, and the breeding area has expanded, and the water area is much more complicated. Cheng Hui's thoughts are the same as Su Yan's words to Su Yuanyang, although he can't tell if the lychee snail even eats oysters, but in line with the principle of killing mistakes and not letting go, he still notified the workers to remove all the lychee snails if they are found.
The Su family's farm found that the range of lychee snails was small, and it was relatively easy to remove. The 100 acres of the aquatic product company used to be a shellfish farm, and I don't know if these lychee snails come to forage at this time of year or what, anyway, most of the area has found traces of lychee snails, which makes people have a headache.
Before Su Yuanyang arrived, Cheng Hui was thinking about how to inform him of the situation, and both sides were relieved when they talked about the situation. Cheng Hui built yƬ Su Yuanyang might as well pretend to be a phone, if there is anything to call him to inform him, there is no need to come to the city, and he can also find Su Yuanyang by phone if he has anything, there is no need to contact him as a single line, if you want to send someone to find him, you have to reverse two trips. This year, the installation of telephones has been opened, and ordinary families can freely apply for installation, which is to charge about 5,000 yuan for the initial installation.
5,000 yuan is not a small amount, Su Yuanyang is still a little hesitant, he wants to go back and discuss it with his daughter-in-law, so he told Cheng Hui that he would go back to the post and telecommunications bureau to inquire.
After coming back, after discussing it, Li Wanzhen and Su Yan were very much in favor of installing the phone. Not to mention anything else, after installing the phone, you can first save Su Yuanyang a lot of time running to the city. Originally, it was already very hard for Su Yuanyang to take care of both the farm and the restaurant in the town, so it was better to let him take a good rest when he had that time. And in case there is something urgent but you can't leave, you don't have to worry about having a phone call. The 5,000 yuan is still worth paying.
The result of the discussion was to wait for the new house to be built, and then apply for the installation of a telephone line to the new home.
When he came back just now, Su Yuanyang went to the new house to take a look, the foundation had been laid, and now the brick wall on the first floor was almost bricked. Cheng Jianshe said that the day after tomorrow can start to install the formwork and pour the first floor of the floor. After the floor is burned, there is a 7 to 10 day period to water and cure, and then the second layer of bricklaying begins...... Cheng Jianshe calculated, in this way, the construction of the main body should be completed in early July, plus the laying of wall tiles on the exterior wall and the decoration inside, it is estimated that it will be completed by the end of July.
At that time, there is exactly a month to disperse, and you can move in in September, just in time for Su Kai to go to kindergarten.
Su Yuanyang felt that he could start to choose the furniture when he was free in a few days, and he planned to use all solid wood at that time, and it should take a lot of time to build.
Since the lychee snail incident, Su Yuanyang has taken one day every week to go to the farm to inspect carefully, and the rest of the time he has been immersed in Su Ji.
