Xu An and Xu Guosheng saw dozens of people gathered under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village from a distance, and the boiling sound could be heard for several miles. The most conspicuous of them was the figure in the center of the crowd that was taller than the others, and his snow-white hair was neatly tied behind his head with a black hair rope.

Xu An and the two glanced at each other, and said the same sentence in unison: "The second grandfather is back (the second uncle is back)!" ”

With that, the two quickened their pace, walked into the crowd, squeezed to the front of the crowd, and found that it was not only the second grandfather and Xu Dongliang who came back, but also five strangers standing next to them.

The leader was a man who was about fifty years old, with a resolute appearance, sharp eyes, and a wordless coercion. However, in the exposed places such as his face, neck, and arms, he can clearly see the traces of exposure that have only been exposed to the sun during years of sea work.

Although the four people behind this person are also a little dark-skinned, they still look like Sven on the whole, not like fishermen who go to sea all year round. And they don't look very old, at most they are three or four years older than Xu An.

This kind of five-person combination feels a little weird no matter how you look at it.

The second grandfather should have introduced the identities of the five people just now, and now he saw Xu An and Xu Guosheng coming over, and introduced them with a proud face: "This is Professor Yu Zhongming Yu that we met on the way to investigate, these four are all students he bringed, they are mainly engaged in the research of marine aquaculture, and now they are engaged in a new topic of 'sea ranching', I heard that the conditions here are good, come and take a look." ”

These words were said extremely smoothly, and I don't know how many times the second grandfather has silently recited it in his heart to have this effect.

"Hello Professor Yu!"

"Hello, hello!"

“.”

After another meaningless greeting between the two sides, Professor Yu seemed to be a little impatient, and turned his head to look at the second grandfather: "Village Chief Xu, let's take a look at the tidal flats you said in the past?" ”

"Hey, that's good!" The second grandfather took out a key from his trouser pocket and threw it to Xu Guosheng: "The task of driving will be handed over to you." ”

Then the second grandfather, Professor Yu and his group of five, as well as Xu Guosheng, got into a van and drove towards the tidal flat in the southeast corner of Qianhai Town. Other people in the village who wanted to see the excitement went back to their homes one after another, and bicycles, tricycles, and electric vehicles were all started, and the whole village followed the van with great momentum, attracting many melon-eating people to follow.

With such a lively scene to see, Xu An naturally would not let it go, riding the family's electric small three-wheeler to follow behind, and drove towards the tidal flats together.

Professor Yu got out of the car, glanced at the tidal flats, then turned back to the car, took out a large suitcase from inside, opened it, and saw everything from rubber bottoms to gloves and glasses.

After a few moments, Professor Yu was fully dressed, walked down the tidal flat, bent down from time to time to grab a handful of silt and put it under his nose to smell it, and directed the four students behind him to sample the tidal flat.

Xu An and Uncle Dong Liang were standing together, and now everyone's attention was all on Professor Yu and his four students, Xu An finally found an opportunity to ask Uncle Dong Liang how they met Professor Yu and how they brought Professor Yu back.

Asked this, Uncle Dongliang swept away the fatigue on his face and began to gush.

During this inspection trip, the second grandfather and Uncle Dongliang went to three coastal provinces and visited seven or eight fishermen who made a living from marine farming.

The last fisherman on the expedition was engaged in oyster farming, and the breeding base was in the middle of the sea, and they needed to take a boat to get there, along with Professor Yu and his four students. Xu Dongliang didn't feel like fishermen when he saw them, so he gave full play to his natural skill of 'seeing people and talking about people, and talking about ghosts', leaned over and approached others, and in just a few words, he touched Professor Yu's bottom in detail.

After learning that Professor Yu was a professor specializing in marine aquaculture, he cheekily went over to inquire about marine aquaculture. After asking, Professor Yu became interested in the tidal flats of Qianhai Town, and finally came over here.

In the end, Xu Dongliang lowered his voice, leaned into Xu An's ear and said: "Professor Yu is doing some 'sea ranch' research, and now he just wants to find a suitable place, if it is suitable here, maybe he will be stationed here, and we can also get a professor's guidance for nothing." ”

Although Uncle Dongliang said it seriously, the whole process was leakless. But based on Xu An's understanding of their two lives, Professor Yu was definitely abducted and coaxed by the second grandfather. The picture is the last sentence just now, and I hope the professor can stay here and give them guidance.

But this is also a kind of ability, what you are willing to do, how can there be anything right or wrong.

The conversation between Xu An and Xu Dongliang was clearly heard by a pot-bellied man who didn't know when he appeared behind the two. The man took out his mobile phone, opened the browser, typed in the words 'Professor Yu, Sea Ranch', and more than a dozen web pages popped up, and clicked on the first web page to enter.

'Yu Zhongming, a professor at the Department of Aquaculture at the National Ocean University, has solved several problems in the cultivation of marine organisms'

"This man is so powerful!" The man rubbed his chin left and right, and muttered with a thoughtful expression: "So this is planning to start a sea ranch in Qianhai Town?" If that's true, you might be able to drink some soup along with it! ”

Although the man's words were small, Xu An's hearing was very good, and he accurately captured the key words in the man's words, and glanced at the man quietly, and suddenly set off a storm in his heart.

Now at this point in time, there are still many years before I engaged in breeding in my previous life, but I can't tell when this person moved this idea. If he cuts off his beard, maybe the ending will be the same as in the previous life.

Thinking of this, Xu An squeezed through the crowd, squeezed to the side of the second grandfather, lifted his toes to the second grandfather's ear, and whispered: "Second grandfather, will this movement be too big, what if others know our plan and cut off the beard." ”

"Haha!" The second grandfather let out a hearty laugh when he heard this, slapped his fan-like palm on Xu An's body hard, looked at Xu An with a look of relief and said: "Yes, yes, I will think more and more from the perspective of Xujia Village, which is right." Although our Xujia Village is small, the people are united, and everyone is working together with one heart and strength, and the future days will not be bad. ”

After praising Xu An, the second grandfather also lowered his voice and leaned sideways to Xu An's ear: "I have already named this land with several leaders in the city, and the above is also very supportive, now just wait for the professor to confirm that there is no problem, and we can officially sign the contract." ”

"I'm not afraid of 10,000 in case, I just saw a lot of people talking about this, maybe I moved something."

Hearing Xu An's words, the second grandfather looked up sharply and looked around, and indeed saw a lot of people muttering together, and his vigilance rose.

"Okay, listen to you, I'll arrest your Uncle Liang to write a report when I go back tonight and submit it as soon as possible." The second grandfather made a decision immediately.

Xu An's eyes were full of sympathy and looked at Xu Dongliang, I'm sorry, Uncle Dongliang, sacrifice you alone and be happy in the entire Xujia Village.

Just as the two were talking, Professor Yu and the four students came up with large bags of samples, and the second grandfather hurriedly left Xu An and stepped forward to take the samples in their hands. When receiving the sample, it was completely contrary to the rough appearance of the second grandfather, and the technique was extremely gentle, as if it was a newborn baby.

"Professor Yu, how is this tidal flat?" Xu Dongliang, who didn't know what he was going to suffer tonight, saw Professor Yu come up and hurriedly squeezed over and asked.

Xu An noticed that the pot-bellied man also came over behind Xu Dongliang.

"Not bad." Professor Yu lowered his head and took off his rubber pants full of mud, and said with a smile in his tone: "The ecology is very good, and it doesn't seem to be polluting, but the situation looks pretty good now." ”

"Can that?" The rest of the words were not spoken, but Professor Yu instantly understood what Xu Dongliang meant.

"The specific situation will not be known until the results of the sample examination are available."

"Are you going to send it to the city to study, I'm going to call Brother Guosheng to come and drive you up?"

"No, no, I have an old friend here, and I just contacted him on the way, and I guess it's almost there." Professor Yu put the clothes he took off into a bag, waved his hand and refused: "It is estimated that it will take two days to get the results, and when the results come out, I will contact you." ”

As he spoke, a black business car stopped on the side of the road, and a man about the same age as Professor Yu came out of it, and his swarthyness was about the same as Professor Yu's.

"Lao Yu, why did you come here?" The man walked straight towards Professor Yu and greeted him very familiarly.

"Didn't I hear that the sea here is rich in resources, anyway, it's all an investigation, so I'll come and take a look, and take a look at you by the way." Professor Yu said with a smile.

"Speaking of abundance, it has to look at the mangrove forest in the south."

"Yo, there's a lot of mangrove forest in town! I just saw a few scattered trees over there, I thought it was strange, this terrain, this tidal flat is quite suitable for the growth of mangroves, why are there only a few of them. ”

"Let's go, I'll take you to the south."

Professor Yu followed the man to his car, removed the luggage from the car rented by the second grandfather, and said goodbye to everyone before leaving with the students.

Xu An watched Professor Yu leave in the car, turned around to find his little tricycle, and found Xu Lili hiding behind the tricycle with a frightened expression.

"Sister Lili, what's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?"

Xu Lili didn't answer Xu An's question, poked out half of her head from behind the tricycle and looked in the direction where the black business car had just been parked, and only after making sure that the car had left did she stand up with relief.

"I'm scared to death, the person who just came to pick up Professor Yu is my elective professor, and he was caught skipping class, and he almost failed the course."

The core character has left, the excitement is over, and the people who didn't understand the excitement are slowly dispersed, Xu An also sat on the tricycle and prepared to go back, and he was stopped by the second grandfather before riding two meters away: "Anzi, go to my house when you go back." ”

"Great!"

As Xu An expected, this was another internal meeting related to the development of Xujia Village, and this time the meeting was to discuss the financial preparation of 'jumping fish farming'.

"I've inquired in the city, and it's been three or four years since the tidal flats were hung up, but no one has rented them. This tidal flat is 15,000 mu in total, and the price of one mu is 210 yuan, which can be leased for up to 20 years, and the fee is paid once a year. ”

Hiss! Everyone present gasped, the rental fee for this tidal flat alone is 3.15 million! This is much higher than the price everyone expected, and after the contract, it will have to be developed, and it is estimated that five million will not be able to hold it!

"Why don't we rent half of it first, and then rent the remaining half when we make money, so that the pressure can be less."

"No, this sea farming is different from pond farming, if the remaining half is rented by someone else, it's good to ask that person to engage in breeding honestly, in case there is something moth, we will be unlucky." Either you don't rent it, or you rent it all. The second grandfather retorted.

"There's so much money here, the entire Xujia Village can't even make up a piece of land for sale."

"I've asked the city, rural credit cooperatives have interest-free loans for agricultural development, and this is also applicable to us. For example, if the rent is more than 3 million, as long as we raise 1.2 million, we can borrow the rest through this policy."

"One million and two million, then every household in Xujia Village has to get more than 100,000 yuan, which is not a small amount of money. Although there is no worry about food and clothing, few families can come up with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. Hearing 1.2 million, someone jumped out and interrupted.

"Professor Yu said that if we meet the prerequisites of their 'sea ranch', they can help us apply for some financial support, which is about 300,000 yuan. I've calculated, every household in our village is piecing together, and 500,000 is not a problem, but the remaining 400,000 is a bit tricky. The second grandfather sighed: "I originally planned to prepare this 1.2 million yuan by taking out a loan, but the bank does not accept such a way of preparation, and it must be real money without borrowing." Now we have two ways in front of us, one is to find a way to get together 1.2 million, and the other is to give up marine farming and find other ways out! ”

As a result of these words, everyone present fell silent.

"Second uncle, I won't hide it for you, I've made some money in the pork business over the years, and I don't have 1.2 million, but I can still get 200,000." Xu Guosheng gritted his teeth and took the initiative to stand up.

"Second uncle, I don't earn as much as the national winner in the greenhouse, but I still have 180,000 yuan." The person who spoke was Aunt Hong: "I can take an extra 120,000!" ”

"Second uncle, I can get an extra 40,000 yuan here."

"I'll take 60,000 more."

"Thirty thousand."
