1613. Put ginseng seedlings again
Brandon's call, in addition to inviting Qin Shiou to his engagement ceremony, was also asking him for the director's contact information, which seemed to really want the director to direct his future wedding.
Qin Shiou hung up the phone and called Billy again, saying that Brandon was planning to get engaged, and asked him to hurry up and don't miss the engagement banquet at that time.
Billy laughed and said that not only would he not be absent, but he would also leave with a surprise.
Qin Shiou's heart moved, and he released his Poseidon consciousness to take a look at the sea area where the pirate ship was located, and found that several underwater robots were dragging ropes to work, hanging the rope hooks on those whale oil barrels, and then dragging the whale oil barrels up.
In this way, the salvage efficiency has been improved a lot, and it is estimated that in half a month at most, Qin Shiou will be able to see the treasures in the wreck.
In the next few days, he has been leading the team to fish sea cucumbers, and he is naturally the one who catches the most, the mantis shrimp army has made a great contribution this time, day and night, in addition to eating and resting, they are busy gathering sea cucumbers together at other times.
On the first day, Qin Shiou and the fishermen caught a total of nearly 10,000 kilograms of sea cucumbers, and then went to sea for four or five days, although the harvest gradually decreased, but finally harvested nearly 25,000 kilograms of sea cucumbers.
It's a pity that fresh sea cucumbers are not very valuable, if it is 25,000 kilograms of dried sea cucumbers, then with the brand effect of Daqin Seafood, this can give him at least 200 million Canadian dollars in cash.
And this is not all the sea cucumbers in the fishing grounds, you have to leave the sea cucumbers to reproduce, and you can't produce all the sea cucumbers at once, and you can harvest them in the autumn, so that you can market the market to maximize profits.
In total, it took about ten days of fishing. From late May to early June, the fishermen can finally take a break, these days they have to go to the sea for more than ten hours every other day, that is, the senior fishermen of the fishing ground have been eating food containing the energy of the sea god all these years, otherwise they would have been exhausted.
Butler came in a boat and saw the plump sea cucumbers. His happy eyes narrowed into a slit, and he took Qin Shiou's hand and kept saying things like 'I've made a fortune this time'.
Qin Shiou calculated it and found that breeding sea cucumbers is really profitable, this is still white ginseng, if you wait until the more precious Arctic ginseng is produced in such a large amount, wouldn't the income have to be doubled?
So in the final analysis, it is still necessary to breed these high-end seafood with health care properties, Qin Shiou immediately made a decision and contacted Bill to let him get another batch of sea cucumber seedlings. It is mainly based on white ginseng, which is stocked in the fishing grounds, so that the harvest is faster.
It is very difficult to rely on the sea cucumbers in the fishing ground to reproduce spontaneously, although the sea cucumbers have a strong reproductive ability, a sea cucumber can discharge five million fertilized eggs at a time, but not to mention how many of these fertilized eggs can survive in the end, it is said that in the Daqin fishing ground, they have not grown enough to ovulate before they are caught.
Sea cucumbers are to grow to the reproductive stage. It will take at least four years, and the white ginseng here in the Daqin Fishery will be harvested in two or three years at most. Can't wait for them to multiply. In addition, the profits that can be created by breeding sea cucumbers may not be as good as that of stocking ginseng seedlings, which can ensure the survival rate of sea cucumbers and increase the growth rate of sea cucumbers.
Ginseng seedlings are not valuable, so why wait for them to reproduce and be self-sufficient?
With the self-sufficiency of fish and shrimp fry in the Daqin Fishery, Bill has not earned Qin Shiou's money for a long time, which makes him very miserable. So when he got Qin Shiou's news that he wanted to buy 200,000 Baini ginseng seedlings, he was so excited that he hurriedly contacted the ginseng seedling farm and sent it over.
Within a few days, two large transport ships sailed to the fishing grounds, and the sea cucumber seedlings were sent to the Daqin No. 2 fishing grounds.
Yes. Qin Shiou's newly selected sea cucumber farm is in the No. 2 fishing ground, which is related to the feeding habits of sea cucumbers, which are very mixed, but mainly feed on sediments on the surface of the seabed, such as small shellfish, diatoms, bacteria, protozoa, small snails, and flexopod larvae, in addition, they can also eat various seaweeds such as macrophylla detritus.
The Daqin No. 2 fishery is specially used to grow seaweed, so it is more suitable to create a sea cucumber farm in shallow waters, so that the symbiosis of both sides can be realized.
Deep-sea cultured sea cucumbers are healthier and more nutritious, so some farms use the method of putting sea cucumber seedlings into breeding boxes, and then putting them into deep-sea waters, and when the time comes, these breeding boxes are brought up.
But Qin Shiou believes that the quality of this captive sea cucumber is much worse than that of free-range sea cucumbers, that is, the physical activity is much worse, and the wild sea cucumbers that can fly freely on the bottom of the sea can be the same as the captive sea cucumbers living in closed cages?
Therefore, he decided to create a sea cucumber reef in the shallow waters of the bay - sea cucumbers like to live on reefs, so by casting a large number of reefs in shallow waters, they can create a suitable living environment.
After the sea cucumber seedlings were delivered, the reef that Qin Shioutuo Dajia Rejeke helped to contact had not yet been delivered, so he could only put the sea cucumber seedlings first.
He bought a total of 200,000 ginseng seedlings in this batch, and in order to shorten the breeding cycle, he bought large seedlings, about 200 per catty, and about 500 per catty if it was small seedlings.
The price of large seedlings is 40 Canadian dollars per 100 ginseng, and 200,000 ginseng seedlings are 80,000 Canadian dollars, which is nothing, if 200,000 ginseng seedlings can all grow and produce excellently, Qin Shiou can earn at least 100 million Canadian dollars.
For him, all he invested was the money for ginseng seedlings and the labor cost when salvaging later, and there were almost no other expenses, and he didn't need breeding boxes, no feed, no drugs or hormones, which could be said to be zero cost in comparison.
Of course, others can't simulate this breeding method, because only Qin Shiou has the most important condition of the heart of the sea god, and the sea god energy that needs to be injected into the sea cucumber at will is massive.
There are 100,000 ginseng seedlings in each transport ship, most of them are transported by wet method, which is the most important way to transport ginseng seedlings, which is to put the ginseng seedlings in a canvas bucket, each barrel can hold about 200 ginseng seedlings, which has a quarter of a cubic meter of seawater, a small box, and the cabin is full of such boxes.
In addition, there are about 40,000 ginseng seedlings that are transported by dry method, the way is to put the ginseng seedlings in a special plastic box, lay a layer of absorbent cotton soaked with seawater at the bottom of the box, and then lay two layers of moist gauze on the top, put the ginseng seedlings evenly flat, and then cover it with 4 layers of wet gauze to form a breeding box.
Dry transportation is used less, not only laborious, but also during the transportation process, it is necessary to constantly sprinkle water into the breeding box to maintain humidity, otherwise the sea cucumber seedlings are easy to die.
But there is no way to do this farm, Qin Shiou wants too many ginseng seedlings, and the number of canvas barrels is not enough, so he can only use the breeding box to top. (To be continued.) )
