Chapter 198: Raising Turtles in Rice Fields

"Turtle paddy fields should be selected that are easy to care for, such as fields close to the residence in front of the house and behind the house. At the same time, the application of low-lying terrain, good water source conditions, smooth water flow, convenient drainage and irrigation. ”

"Turtles have the characteristics of burrowing and climbing with their limbs, and the construction of anti-escape facilities is an important part of raising turtles in paddy fields. A fence 50 cm above the ground should be built around the selected paddy fields with bricks, cement boards, wooden planks and other materials. ”

"At the same time, the top of the pressure edge extends 15 centimeters inward, the inner wall of the fence and the pressure edge should be smooth, and the escape prevention facilities of the inlet and drainage outlets should be done...... "In Baoting Zhaguo Village, several old professors from the South China Academy and the South China Academy are taking students to teach the people.

As he spoke, an old man in his sixties wearing patched clothes suddenly raised his hand. The old professor looked at the old man and said with a smile: "If you have any questions, you can talk about them." ”

"Let's raise these kings, is it useful?! Who's going to buy it?! But after seeing the old man put down his hand, he asked the old professor: "If you raise Wang Ba, will it have an impact on the paddy fields?!" There are so many people in the village, but they all point to the paddy fields to eat! ”

saw the old professor push his glasses, and said with a smile: "The old man is worried." Here, we also explain to the big guys, on the one hand, it is to reassure the big guys. On the other hand, it can be regarded as an introduction. ”

As he spoke, he saw the old professor raise his hand and make a gesture of please. Everyone laughed and invited the professor to the top of the big tree on the edge of the ridge. And this professor pulled his trousers and stepped directly into the field barefoot to explain to the people.

"First of all, we want to say that we are from the South China People's Court and the Chinese People's Court. Here's our work card. But he saw that the professor sat down on the ridge of the field with the humility of the people. He took out his work card from his pocket and showed it to them.

A few literate people in the village, as well as the village chief and the village party secretary, took it and looked at it. Give the other villagers an affirmative reply that this work certificate is true. I saw that the professor had withdrawn his work card. He continued.

"We have a cooperation agreement with An Tianmin. They hired us to develop some farming techniques. We were even directed to develop some agricultural technologies and promoted by them. ”

However, Professor Chen smiled and said to these farmers: "This technique of raising turtles in rice fields is one of the technologies that they have asked us for. Including you, you are also the first to learn these techniques. ”

Everyone listened to Professor Chen's words. They all nodded. But the old man in the village still continued to ask: "Professor Chen, we don't dare to doubt your words, but can this Wang Ba really sell it?!" ”

I can't help but care about this old man, if I work hard to raise it, I can't sell it. But what a lot of trouble, the old man thinks that this Wang Ba sounds like it's not easy to raise. There are still so many things that need to be done, and if no one buys them, it's over.

"Turtle is not only a valuable food, but also has high medicinal value. Meat. Shell, blood, eggs, and gallbladder all have the function of nourishing yin. Professor Chen smiled and said to the old man: "The main effect of the turtle shell is to nourish the kidneys and latent yang, and to be soft and hard and dissipate knots. It can be used for the treatment of bone steaming fever, malaria, flank hardness, low back pain, amenorrhea, ...... and other symptoms. ”

But Professor Chen smiled and said to the old man: "We are not very accustomed to eating turtles in Qiongdao, but the mainland, especially in northern Guangdong. There is a widespread habit of eating soft-shelled turtles, and traditional Chinese medicine often uses soft-shelled turtles as a medicinal material. ”

After a pause, Professor Chen continued: "Moreover, there is a very good market for soft-shelled turtles in Japan, Xiangjiang and South Korea. Including medicinal, and folk dietary supplements. In other words, under the influence of Confucian culture, the circle of turtles is very marketable. ”

"The situation of Comrade Liang Sanping. I think everyone knows that. Among the people he cooperates with are businessmen from Xiangjiang and Japan. So. It's not a problem at all. Otherwise, he wouldn't have funded us to work on the project. ”

When everyone heard Professor Chen say this, they nodded. Even the old man, Liang Sanping's credibility in this area has been established. Several surrounding villages have made money by growing vegetables with him.

Before him, who knew that Qiongdao could make money growing vegetables?! If anyone had said this to him at the time, the old man would have killed him on the spot! Are you a fool to be a grandfather?! Grow vegetables to make money?! A lonely crutch can't kill you.

"Professor Chen. It's good to make money. But this material is ...... with turtle species" The old man was worried again, but Professor Chen smiled and continued to explain: "You don't have to worry about this, our two institutes are breeding." It will be sent to you free of charge when the time comes. ”

"Other materials and materials, including the construction of rice fields and turtle breeding, will also be provided by An Tianmin Company. We are responsible for providing technical support to everyone, and everyone only needs to be careful and work hard to raise turtles. Wait for the turtle to grow. Just wait for the money! ”

Hearing that they could divide the money, the crowd couldn't help but smile. Liang Sanping is now on the side of Baoting, and he can be described as a god of wealth. This year, selling melons and vegetables is a real thing, so that the villages that cooperate with him are making money.

The peasants are the most realistic, and when you make them earn money, they will naturally think that you are a good person. Many people trembled and held the hundreds of yuan sent by An Tianmin's company, and they burst into tears on the spot.

Many villages slaughtered pigs directly, and one village started to eat and drink. also sent a lot of meat to An Tianmin's company, but it was not okay if he didn't accept it. If you don't take him, he won't leave, and he will even drag you to the village to eat and drink.

It was also from this time that Liang Sanping always greeted him when he walked on the street. But he didn't know many people, so he could only smile and nod and then greet people. But everyone also knows that he is busy, and most of the time he just smiles and nods and says hello and leaves.

How can people make everyone more profitable when they are busy, and whoever bothers him at this time is the public enemy of everyone! Gotta be pulled out and beaten to the rhythm of death. And the people in the village who knew Liang Sanping would take others to point out Liang Sanping to people they didn't know from afar on the street.

In order to say hello, this is our great benefactor and the god of wealth. Don't dare to trouble him, if you see that he is in trouble, you must go up to help. Poor Liang Sanping didn't know that he was now a treasure-level person in the Baoting area.

"As for whether Ah Gong said that it will affect the paddy fields, I can tell everyone for sure: not at all!" Professor Chen smiled and said to everyone: "Not only will it not be affected, but it will also be beneficial." ”

Seeing that Professor Chen was a little thirsty, he grabbed the porcelain bowl on the side and drank a bowl of tea from the bucket to moisten his throat before continuing: "Raising soft-shelled turtles in rice fields, rice-soft-shelled turtles coexist, soft-shelled turtles can loosen the soil and catch pests for paddy fields; At the same time, raising soft-shelled turtles in paddy fields is also conducive to reducing production costs. Improve economic efficiency. ”

There are still benefits to raising turtles?! The big guy suddenly felt a little incredible, but he saw that everyone was looking at Professor Chen and waiting for him to explain to everyone, what the hell was going on.

"Turtles are aquatic omnivores and like to eat animal bait. Juvenile soft-shelled turtles feed on aquatic insects, earthworms, tadpoles, small shrimp, etc. Adult turtles feed on mollusks such as snails and clams, fish and shrimp...... They also eat vegetables, fruits, grains and other plant-based feeds. ”

Oh! I see, I think it's true. Wang Ba is in the water. It must have eaten all the other pests in the field. So the medicine must have saved a lot.

"However, if you raise turtles, you must not use pesticides. This can affect soft-shelled turtles and even kill them. Fertilizers are also not available. Professor Chen solemnly said to everyone: "You can use some farm fertilizer, but it doesn't matter if you use it or not." ”

"Turtles live in paddy fields, so naturally they have to eat, drink, and lazar. It also produces a lot of fertilizer, which is enough for the field. From this point of view, raising turtles in the rice field saves a lot of money on pesticides and fertilizers! ”

When everyone heard this, they even smiled. But when they saw them pulling Professor Chen, they said, "Come on!" Come, continue to talk about this king bastard?! We need to hurry up and get to school. It's good to make money when you learn! ”

Who is a fool these days?! Knowing that you are making money, naturally everyone is studying hard. Professor Chen was not hypocritical, and with a smile, he led everyone to continue to go down to the paddy field, and continued what he had just told on the ridge.

"Turtle ditches should be opened in the rice field, and they can also be replaced by ditches at the edge of the field. The turtle ditch is a place for feeding feed and turtle hibernation, generally the turtle ditch is 3 meters wide at the top, and the bottom is 1.5 meters wide and deep. The length is determined according to the area of the paddy field, which generally accounts for 20% of the total area of the paddy field. ”

"A sandy beach was built in the middle of the field for the broodstock to spawn, breed and dry their backs. It is generally north-south, 5 meters long, 1 meter wide at the top, and 0.8 meters above the normal water level. ”

Speaking of this, Professor Chen smiled and said, "We don't have any winter in Qiongdao, so there is no need for this hibernation." Repair this turtle ditch. Mainly to put some feed. ”

"Of course! The feed is not the feed sold on the market, we invest in natural biological feed. Professor Chen went on to explain: "Young turtles mostly eat aquatic insects, tadpoles, small fish, small shrimp, earthworms, etc. Adult turtles eat snails, small fish, animal carcasses and their internal organs, and also eat soybeans, corn and other plant feeds. ”

The crowd kept nodding, and many people even didn't know where to find a pen and paper to write down all of Professor Chen's words. Seeing these ordinary people recording their words, Professor Chen couldn't help but smile.

They look like that. I'm more serious than my own students! It's no wonder that I know that what I'm learning here is how to make money. When you learn it, the silver floats over. Fools know to work hard.

"When feeding, we must achieve 'four determinations', that is, timing, positioning, qualitative and quantitative." Professor Chen continued: "Turtle farming in paddy fields should be reasonably stocked according to the conditions, and the stocking density should be mastered. Too thin and wasteful water surface, too dense affects the growth and development of soft-shelled turtles. In general, 300-600 turtles per mu should be stocked with turtle species over 2 years old......"

"If you are going to breed young turtles, you can add 50-60 6-year-old brood turtles per mu, and the ratio of females to males is 2:1 or 3:2. Rice paddy fields where soft-shelled turtles are raised should generally be stocked with a small number of large-sized fish to purify the water quality. Keep it clean ......"

Professor Chen is explaining to Zhaguo Village, while Hekou Village, near Jianghai Farm, is also giving a class. The place of the class was also on the rice field, but the teacher who gave the lecture was changed to Professor Liu.

"Water quality and water temperature have a great impact on the growth and development of soft-shelled turtles, we should pay attention to observe the water color, analyze the water quality, often add new water, properly control the water level, and the general water depth should be mastered between 15~20 cm." But I saw Professor Liu roll up his sleeves and reach into the field with his hand, roughly measure the ridge, and face everyone.

"Well, it's almost that high." Seeing this, everyone in Hekou Village couldn't help but come up and take a closer look. Then memorize the location and remind yourself not to get it wrong.

"You should also pay attention to adjusting the water temperature. In the high temperature season, the water level of the paddy field can be appropriately deepened without affecting the growth of rice. so as not to affect the growth of soft-shelled turtles......"

There are more than ten professors in the two academies, and almost all of them are now stationed in various villages in Baoting. Teach these village men how to raise turtles in the rice fields. The turtle species is now also being cultivated, and the company will collectively distribute it at that time.

And what about Liang Sanping?! Liang Sanping was not in Baoting at this time, and this "Baoting mascot" was now being arrested by Comrade Ge Tai, the governor of the autonomous prefecture. There has always been a saying in Qiongdao, called "one poor, two white and three treasure pavilions".

It is talking about the three regions of Qiongzhong, Baisha and Baoting. The ranking is: Qiong Zhong is the poorest, and Baisha is the second poorest. In the end, Baoting was the third poorest. Now that the situation here in Baoting is a little better, Ge Tai immediately thought about pulling Liang Sanping, the mascot, to Baisha to see if this kid can also create a miracle in Baisha.

"My Uncle Ge, my Uncle Ge! I'm a man, not a god! It's not that I said that where to develop, where can it be developed! It depends on the location, and it also depends on the time......" Liang Sanping staggered in the car and complained to Ge Tai.

He originally planned to go today to see how the training of turtle raising in the rice fields of several villages was going, but before he could do it, he was blocked by Ge Tai early in the morning, and he was forced to pull him into the car.

"Hey, hey, hey...... I didn't say what I wanted you to do, I just told you to go and see it. By the way, do you have an idea? Ge Tai was also a little embarrassed by this, after all, he blocked the door of people's houses early in the morning.

In the end, it is true that he has no reason. Can be the governor of an autonomous region. It is these three places under his rule that give him the most headaches, especially Qiong Zhong and Bai Sha. It is inconvenient to have transportation, and it has been a poor area since ancient times.

For this "one poor, two white and three treasure pavilions", Ge Tai has no headaches. But what's the use of a headache?! If you can't develop, you can't develop. Ge Tai asked himself if he didn't have that level, so he thought of finding someone with that level.

Who is this person?! There is no doubt about it! Liang Sanping, the "treasure pavilion mascot" that is now known on the island! Such a good coolie, if you don't catch it and use it, how can you be worthy of yourself?!

Liang Sanping now feels that he has a headache, he just wants to do business. Is it that hard...... (To be continued......)
