1263. Shrimp Fry Delivered (8/10)
Eventually, the teachers at Grant Elementary School agreed to the salary increase plan offered by the town government, and Winnie shook hands with Principal Grant, saying that they would send an application to the city and the Ministry of Education when they returned, and that they would be able to raise their salaries after they passed.
Principal Grant finally said that he hoped that Winnie would be able to control the price of goods in the town after she became mayor of the town: "You know, our teachers don't have many opportunities to leave the town, and their consumption is almost all done in the town, and in the current price situation, their consumption is a bit difficult. ”
Obviously, the teachers are not easy to fool, and they have already seen Winnie's little abacus, and they are not very satisfied with the salary increase she gave.
Winnie nodded and said that she would find a way to solve these problems, and said frankly: "The town is developing a little too fast economically, and it will inevitably produce a series of peripheral problems. But as I promised at the election, I will make the lives of the voters under my rule better and happier, and the school is also my place of choice, and I will be responsible. ”
After solving these two things, the work pressure on Winnie's side was greatly reduced, and she stopped working overtime for a few days, went to work on time, got off work at a fixed point, and had weekends off, which was also quite moisturizing.
Little Melon's consciousness began to awaken and became attached to her parents, and when Qin Shiou went to sea during the day, he asked Winnie to take her. Winnie would take her to town to work, and as long as she had toys and parents in sight, she could play on her own for the day.
After a busy few days, the fry were finally collected, and the next step was to sort the fry.
At first, the fry are brought back in a mixed bag, but after a while, the fry will separate, they will find their own kind and gather in groups. As long as you find a school of fish and take them out, it is relatively easier than bringing fry back from the fishing grounds.
The fishermen whom Qin Shiou met at the fishery auction called him one after another. Let him prepare the farm, and the fish and shrimp fry from their side can be transported.
It was planned. He decided to receive Penaeus monodon first.
Litopenaeus monodon farmer Nick Du lives in Lunenburg, in eastern Nova Scotia, a short distance from Mahon Bay, where his farm is located and where shrimp are farmed.
At the beginning, Nick Du told Qin Shiou that because of the proximity to the southern part of Mahon Bay, the temperature is still higher, and the giant shrimp gradually adapted to survive, and if it was in St. John's, he did not dare to guarantee the survival rate.
Qin Shiou said that there was no problem. As long as the shrimp is alive when it is delivered, the rest will be taken care of by yourself.
Nick Du is a more responsible fisherman, and although Qin Shiou has already said so, he still tries to improve the survival rate of shrimp.
In the past few days, he has been urging Qin Shiou to receive it quickly, because July is the hottest month of the year in Newfoundland, and the water temperature at this time is very suitable for the survival of shrimp.
Qin Shiou and Sanders cleaned up the engineered breeding pond, and the Dungeness crabs have all entered the ocean, and they have proved to have a good tolerance for the North Atlantic, and they were found to have no problem surviving during the purse seine trial. Sanders has already put them in the ocean.
Nick Du hired a transport ship to bring in 100,000 shrimp prodon fry, the ship was slow, and they set off from Mahon Bay in the morning. It was not until the evening that they reached the waters of the fishing grounds.
Standing at the bow of the boat, Nick Du looked at the scenery of the fishing grounds, looking at the fine snow-white sand on the shoreline of the fishing grounds. He shook his head repeatedly, Canada rarely has such an excellent coastline. For example, he is in the area of Mahon Bay, and the coastline is very tortuous.
Qin Shiou received him on the dock. Nick Doo got off the boat and looked at the long pier and exclaimed, "God, this thing is spectacular, it's the first time I've seen such a pier in a private fishing ground, it must have cost a lot of money, right?" ”
Qin Shiou smiled: "Oh, there aren't many, the main thing is that I need it, look, now you can directly dock into the fishing ground when you come to transport shrimp seedlings, how convenient." ”
Nick Du smashes his mouth, he also knows that it is convenient, but the premise of convenience is that it costs a lot of money to build a dock in his own fishing ground? Forget it, just think about it.
The shrimp fry stayed in the breeding box and the breeding colleagues, and Nick Du introduced that there were 500 shrimp seedlings in a box, and there were a total of 200 boxes on the boat, so let him check it.
Qin Shiou nodded, and the fishermen who had been waiting for a long time went up to check the shrimp seedlings, not only to check the quantity, but also to check the vitality and epidemic situation, especially in terms of epidemics, in case some dangerous bacteria were brought into the fishing ground, it would be troublesome.
In this regard, Sanders took Tia in charge, they prepared a bunch of beakers, test tubes and reagents, kept shaking and then watched the results, Tia also made some smears to observe under the microscope, very seriously.
Nick Du said with a smile: "Man, I have to admit that you are a combination of academic and practical here, which is simply too formal." Compared to you, Carter's fishing grounds are wild roads. ”
Thinking of the second-largest fisherman who pretended to be unable to force the grass, Qin Shiou asked with interest: "Have you already sent him the shrimp seedlings that Carter bought?" ”
Nick Du shrugged helplessly: "Yes, send it over, oh my God, I will never do business with him again, that guy is too stingy, I can't stand him." ”
Later, Nick complained that because he was relatively close to Carter's fishing grounds, he hired a transport ship to bring him the shrimp fry when he returned.
According to the rules of the industry, the transportation costs are shared by both parties, but Carter later denies it, and he puts Nick in charge of the transportation costs, as well as the taxes on the transaction.
Nick was angry at the time, the transportation costs should have been shared by the two of them, why should he be responsible for himself? In addition, there is the tax, which is what the buyer has to do, he also has to pay the tax, both parties have to pay the tax, why should he be fully responsible?
Carter played the scoundrel by taking advantage of the auction contract and saying that if you don't want to be responsible, you will cooperate in canceling it.
"How could I possibly cancel my contract with him? Ha, even if I get a 5% discount, I will also sell it to him, and the price of shrimp seedlings for adult shrimp, I'm afraid I can only encounter it once in my life. Nick laughed.
Qin Shiou said, "That guy is indeed too stingy. ”
Nick complained again: "Not only stingy, but also very cunning, after my shrimp seedlings arrived, he did not check the results, but boxes and boxes, not a single scare." ”
Shrimp seedlings are easy to die in the breeding tank, Carter checks one by one, it takes a long time, the longer the shrimp seedlings die, and he does not accept the dead shrimp seedlings, and he will not cooperate next time, that is, this time he sent 50,000, how many live he left as much as he wanted.
Qin Shiou said: "Then this guy can take advantage, as you said, he is really cunning." ”
Nick was helpless, but his mood quickly improved: "There aren't many dead shrimp seedlings, and I still make a lot of money from him, which is good enough, isn't it?" ”
The two chatted, and the fishermen came to report the results after checking them. (To be continued......)
