Chapter 123: Farms and Hard-shelled Mussels

"It's been a long time since I've been seriously inspecting the farm, so take this opportunity to take a look." After Yang Yi got the construction drawings of the Level 2 seashell farm, he planned to upgrade the farm immediately, after all, food is the development plan of the village.

Yang Yi took a middle-level builder in the village and more than a dozen construction fishmen to Ratchet Bay, and after the Ratchet Village was upgraded to a large village, a lot of seashell farms were opened up in Ratchet Bay, and now there are nearly 80 books on first-class seashell farms. In order to facilitate the management of the later development of the seashell farms are located together, so that many farms are not built on the tidal flats that are more suitable for the growth of small mussel shells, so there is an impact on the yield. A Class 1 seashell farm can feed 5 adult fishmen for raising small mussel shells, so even if the production is somewhat reduced, the nearly 80 seashell farms are enough to feed 300 adult fishmen.

"At present, the fishmen in Ratchet Village still rely on the seaweed harvested from the seaweed farms as their staple food, and the mussel meat is only a supplement, and if all the two farms are upgraded to level 2, then the village will have excess food to feed the livestock."

The construction fishman immediately began to upgrade the seashell farm, and Yang Yi inspected the rows of farms along the beach.

Yang Yi walked slowly along the beach, and after walking far, he noticed that there were two fishmen sitting on the beach not far in front of him. These two are the fishmen who take care of the farm, and they are sitting on the beach fiddling with something.

"These are two lazy fishmen again."

Recently, Yang Yi often found that the fishmen in the village were hiding and lazy when they were working, which was also a chronic disease of the fish-people, after all, most fish-people lived to fill their stomachs, as long as they filled their stomachs, everything would be fine. Now all the fishmen in Ratchet Village have enough food supply every day, and there are more and more fishmen who don't want to work after there is no pressure to survive, and laziness has become a norm for fishmen in the village. The quality of the fish people is only one point, and when they talk about the glory of labor, it is to play the piano to the cow.

"It seems that the days of the fish-people in Ratchet Village eating big pot rice are coming to an end." Yang Yi thought.

Yang Yi was about to go over and catch the two lazy fishmen, when suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a fishman fry the size of a baby lying in the muddy water of the tidal flat near the edge of the sea near a farm. The fish-man fry was covered in mud, and he was crawling on the tidal flats of the farm, his bulging fish-man fry head constantly arching a small mussel shell.

Taking advantage of the laziness of the two fishmen who take care of the farm, this fishman fry is going to steal the seashells on the farm.

"Good guy, this kid is quite a set, and he has to know how to hide. However, under the nose of the master, this thief dared to steal things, grabbed and spanked. Yang Yi laughed, because the fish-man fry in this neighborhood are basically the children of the fish-people in Ratchet Village. The fish-man nursery pond can't hold so many fish-man fry, so many of them can only continue to live in the bay, but Ratchet Village now sends a lot of adult fish-people to protect them.

"The first two." Yang Yi shouted at the two lazy fishmen.

"Village Chief!" The two fishmen heard Yang Yi's voice, hid the things in their hands behind them, and quickly got up from the ground.

"What are you hiding?" Yang Yi asked.

"Big mussel shells, you can't pry them open." The two fishmen could only obediently take out the thing hidden behind them, it turned out to be a large sea mussel, and the two of them had studied it for a long time and didn't pry it open......

Yang Yi took the sea mussel and found that this sea mussel was unusually heavy, weighing at least ten kilograms.

"If you see it, go and get that thief." Yang Yi pointed to the fish fry that were slowly moving in the farm and ordered.

The two fishmen hurriedly ran to catch the thief, and Yang Yi looked at the sea mussel in his hand. This large mussel is different from the small mussel shells raised in the farm, its size can be compared to a small shield, and the mussel shell is also very thick.

【Hard-shelled mussels】

[Level: Level 3]

"Level 3 hard-shelled mussels, but you can try to let the fishmen in the village raise some in the level 2 farm. It is just the time to take advantage of this seashell farm upgrade to start breeding young shellfish, and raising them in seashell farms should at least grow better than wild ones. At that time, this hard mussel shell could be processed into a simple shield, and it could also be used to produce high-grade pearls. After Yang Yi saw the hard-shelled mussels, he wanted the fishmen in the village to raise some of these grade 3 sea shells.

The most abundant seashells in the bay are small mussel shells, and other species have fewer mussel shells. The juveniles of this hard-shelled mussel are not easy to collect in large quantities, but as long as they are well cultivated in seashell farms for several generations, there will be enough larvae for large-scale cultivation.

Soon, the two fish-men caught the fish-man fry who had stolen the sea mussels and brought them over, and the fish-man of this size was already able to breathe in the air for a short time.

Yang Yi took a look and found that after this fishman fry was stolen and seized on the spot, he actually used his pair of small fish hands that had just evolved from the fins to desperately hold a small mussel shell, but due to the lack of strength of the little hands, after holding on for a while, the small mussel shell fell on the beach.

"Little one, it's not right to steal." Yang Yi used his fishman to pick up the fish-man fry, and he found that the scales on this fish-man fry were purple-gold.

"Yike...... Yi ...... "The fish-man fry desperately opened and closed his small mouth, but only made two small and short sounds.

"Huh? He was a mute. It's a pity, it looks like a pretty smart fish-man fry. Yang Yi was stunned for a moment, the fish-man fry relied on sound to transmit information in the water, and the screams made by the fish-man fry that grew to this size were enough to shake people's eardrums.

"You two, you are lazy in your work, and you will be punished for not being allowed to eat today." Yang Yi reprimanded.

The two fish-men were frightened when they heard that they had nothing to eat for a day, and now they were used to two meals a day, and the last time they were hungry was three or four months ago.

"Now I'll give you a task to take this little guy to the nursery pond in the village." Yang Yi suddenly became kind, and he handed over the fish-man fry to two fish-people.

When the fish-man was still in the fish-man fry, Yang Yi couldn't use the skill of the lord's eye to check their attribute information, so the fish-man in Ratchet Village mainly looked at the physical condition of the fish-man fry when selecting the fish-man fry to put into the fish-man nursery pond in the village, and this fish-man fry may not have been selected because he was a mute.

The fish fry were brought back to the village, and Yang Yi picked up the small mussel shells that had fallen on the ground. He casually opened the small clam shell and found that he was lucky, there was a second-grade excellent quality [shiny little pearl] inside. rs
