After more than half a month of training, Li Xindong's skills in catching jumping fish have been perfected. When Xu An was still distinguishing what kind of creatures would be in these round or flat, large or small mud holes, Li Xindong grabbed a spot next door, and every time he shot, there was bound to be a jumping fish about to die in Huangquan.

After catching it diligently for more than an hour, when he felt that his waist was not his own, Xu An caught a total of seven jumping fish, two of which were not the size of a tail finger.

Looking at Li Xindong on the side, from stepping into the tidal flat to the present, he is like a tireless robot, surveying mud holes, swinging hoes, catching jumping fish, and putting them in fish baskets

Xu An quietly walked behind him and glanced at his fish basket, all the fish in the fish basket were fat and strong, and each of them could beat ten of those jumping fish that Xu An caught!

Tsk, the professional is really different!

put away the worthless competitiveness, Xu An stood aside with a hoe, chatting with Li Xindong with a match. Maybe it's because he is concentrating on catching fish, Xu An almost answers whatever Li Xindong asks.

"How much is the tuition fee for repeating, and is there any reduction or exemption policy on the school's side?"

"Yes, you don't need to pay tuition fees when you are admitted to the undergraduate program and go back to repeat your studies, you only need to pay half of the tuition fees when you are admitted to the junior college and go back to repeat your studies, and you need to pay the full tuition fee if you are admitted to the junior college or below."

Xu An nodded thoughtfully, so Li Xindong was robbed not only of his mobile phone and bicycle, but also of the 1,500 yuan of tuition fees he brought to sign up! How many takeaways and how many jumping fish you have to catch to get the money!

"It's only been more than a week before the start of school, and after the start of school, whether it's delivering food or catching jumping fish, there is no time, do you have enough living expenses?" Xu An asked.

"Enough." Li Xindong still didn't stop what he was doing, and replied without looking back: "During the period before the start of school, you can still earn four or five hundred yuan by delivering takeaways; These days, the jumping fish is forty yuan a catty, you can catch three or four catties a day, and you can earn more than 100 yuan a day; By the time the school starts, there should be about 14,500 yuan, and it will be no problem to save a semester. ”

After that, Li Xindong pretended to be relaxed and said: "You also know that the food in the school canteen is two or three yuan a meal, and the food cost is only two or three hundred yuan a month. ”

Seeing that Li Xindong had all figured it out, Xu An didn't say anything, and after saying 'go to the shore to rest', he walked towards the shore step by step. Although the mud is not deep, the suction is still quite strong, and it is very difficult to walk.

Sitting on the side of the road, he took out a mineral water bottle from the fish basket, wiped his hands in the clean part of his clothes, unscrewed the cap of the bottle and took a sip of cool water, and instantly the whole person was refreshed.

Although the price of jumping fish is high, this job is not available to ordinary people. In terms of strength, Xu An is no worse than anyone on this beach, but what is important for catching jumping fish is not only strength, but also patience, endurance and waist strength! Xu An, who has not been trained, how can he be their opponent.

After sitting for a while to breathe, Xu An began to look around to observe the tidal flats.

There are many people catching jumping fish on the tidal flats, and you can see more than a dozen people in the near distance, and more people in the farther places. When his eyes swept over the busy crowd on the beach, Xu An suddenly noticed five black shadows standing and chatting. Looking at it closely, how could those five figures, the more they looked, the more they looked like Professor Yu and his four students?

After taking samples yesterday afternoon, Professor Yu took them to the Haishi Navigation Institute to help with the analysis. But the results of the analysis did not come out so quickly, this morning in the hotel in the morning, after lunch felt that it was really impossible to stay, so I called the students to come to the tidal flat here to continue the investigation.

Without the crowd following, they moved a little more comfortably, and observed more things than yesterday. After wandering around the tidal flats for more than an hour, they discovered a strange place.

Like the tidal flats near the shore road, it is normal for there to be fewer creatures, after all, there are more people and more cars and more noise; The traces and number of creatures in the middle of this tidal flat are very normal, and basically most of the people who go to sea are looking for jumping fish and mud insects on this tidal flat; But the further south they went, the fewer traces of biological activity there were, and now they could only see some small crabs passing by quickly, and they didn't want to stay for a second longer.

Professor Yu bent down and grabbed a handful of mud and sniffed it under his nose, in addition to the pungent smell and fishy smell of the mud, there seemed to be an indescribable smell mixed in; But after twisting the silt little by little and observing it carefully, I didn't find anything unusual.

This is strange.

"Ah Xing, you take a sample of the tidal flats here, go back and analyze it to see what the situation is and why this phenomenon occurs." Professor Yu threw the mud back on the mud and turned to the student with a backpack on his side.

"Yes, Teacher." A student named Ah Xing quickly took out various sampling tools from his backpack and sampled all aspects of the tidal flat.

"Teacher, what do you think of the tidal flats here, and can we carry out that project here?" Another student leaned over and asked curiously. He is very satisfied with this tidal flat, which is very primitive, has not undergone much development and destruction, and can become a good seafood breeding field with a little trimming.

"Don't worry, wait for the results of the analysis to come out." Professor Yu didn't give a clear answer, but the look of joy on his face revealed his thoughts.

I have visited so many provinces and cities, and it is not unheard of that the tidal flats are better than this. However, after the combination of low price, large area, undeveloped and other factors, there are not many that can meet their own needs, and the tidal flat of Qianhai Town is one of the few.

I also negotiated with the village chief of Xujia Village, and if the sampling and analysis results of this tidal flat meet my needs, I will apply for a research fund, which can be regarded as renting this tidal flat with them. At that time, Xujia Village will let itself choose an area as a research site, and the only condition is that in addition to research, you can guide them on how to breed and remind them of the places they need to pay attention to.

It seems that Professor Yu is at a loss, but Professor Yu has clearly understood one thing from his personal experience for so many years, and it is undoubtedly a fool's dream that he wants to do long-term research here without a snake on the ground. If nothing else, a few ruffians who are not afraid of anything are enough to give people a headache.

Professor Yu has a friend who is engaged in agricultural research, and he has worked hard for more than half a year to see that the crops are about to be harvested. As a result, in just one night's work, even the roots were dug up. Later, the police called the police to find the perpetrator and found that it was done by a group of ruffians and hooligans, and they didn't want to eat, but they saw that they looked good when they passed by, and then they heard that it was done by a foreigner, so they did it unscrupulously

When they were arrested, they were still smiling and discussing how long they would squat this time, looking like they were squatting through the game, and the longer they squat, the more glorious they were.

From then on, the first thing that friend went to do research was to find a way to enclose the land, and then establish a good relationship with the nearby villagers and the local government, and ask them to help restrain these second-rate people. There were a few petty thefts in the follow-up, but the annihilation of the whole army never happened again.

This kind of thing is not afraid of 10,000 in case, these studies are basically calculated in years, in case something happens, it will be several years of hard work ruined, no one wants to see this situation.

He also specially inquired about this Xujia Village with a friend who works in Haishi, there are not many people in the village, but the murderer is notorious, and the second-rate people are the kind that walk around. Then the old village chief of Xujia Village and Xu Dongliang gave him a good impression, although it seems that the five big and three rough are very fierce, but they are both sensible and reasonable people.

This deal, everyone takes what they need, and they don't lose money.

After the sampling was over, there was nothing to do next, and Professor Yu saw the curious appearance of several students along the way, and immediately waved his hand to let them move freely, and gathered back after an hour.

The four students scattered with joy when they heard this, looking for a fisherman who seemed to be talkative, and they also experienced the feeling of a mud dredging worm and catching a jumping fish, all of which felt very novel. Professor Yu returned to the shore one foot deep and one foot shallow, found a shady position to sit, and happened to sit next to Xu An.

"Good afternoon, Professor Yu." Xu An greeted Professor Yu politely.

"You are?" Professor Yu's tone was a little puzzled, his eyes twitched a few times, as if he remembered, and replied loudly: "Are you from Xujia Village, I remember seeing you yesterday, the old village chief introduced you, are you called Xu An?" ”

It's worthy of being a professor, yesterday the scene was so messy, and the introduction was noisy, and they didn't talk to each other after they got to know each other, in this case, you can remember Xu An's name, it seems that people with poor memory can't be professors!

"Yes, I am Xu An, and the old village chief is my second grandfather." Xu An said and asked with a little curiosity: "Didn't you already take samples yesterday, why did you come here again today?" ”

"I don't have anything to do when I'm idle, so I take the students over for a walk. They have seen a lot of farming, and it is the first time that the fishermen catch the jumping fish, and one or two are very interested. Professor Yu seemed to be opened by Xu An's words, and began to babble about the breeding of jumping fish tidal flats, and Xu An couldn't interject at all in the fog, so he could only nod his head to show that he was listening carefully.

Professor Yu talked for a while, and seemed to find that Xu An had a blank face, completely unable to understand what he was talking about, and still had a somewhat drowsy expression, so he immediately stopped the topic and began to ask about Qianhai Town.

As he spoke, Professor Yu talked about the anomaly of the tidal flat in front of him.

"I just walked over there to take a look, the farther south the place, the less sea life, this situation is quite abnormal, I don't know what the reason is, let the students take samples, go back to study well."

South? Xu An looked up at the area to the south, and the topographic buildings over there came to Xu An's mind one by one: "There is a greenhouse planting area over there, a paper mill in the past, and a village in the future." ”

"Paper mills?" Professor Yu's face became serious: "Why didn't you listen to the old village chief about this?" ”

"This paper mill was built many years ago, and it was abandoned in the early years, and there are only a few bare factories left, which is equivalent to a wasteland." Xu An explained simply.

After listening to Xu An's explanation, the nervous expression on Professor Yu's face eased slightly. In other words, how can it be industrial pollution, the impact of industrial pollution is not so small, it seems that the anomaly of that tidal flat has nothing to do with this.

Subsequently, Professor Yu seemed to fall into all kinds of speculations about the anomalies of this tidal flat, and when chatting, he often did not reply to a word for half a day. Seeing this situation, Xu An did not continue to talk to Professor Yu, but put on gloves and walked down the tidal flats to continue the unfinished business of catching jumping fish.

When I came out, I said that I would bring them a plate of fragrant fried jumping fish that I caught, handled, and cooked by myself at night, which was not a broken promise.

As soon as he walked to Li Xindong's side to start work, a student under Professor Yu quickly approached Li Xindong and said with a flattering smile on his face: "Hello uncle, can I watch you catch the jumping fish from the sidelines?" ”

Uncle?

Li Xindong and Xu An both stopped their movements at the same time, glanced at each other, and both saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes. Then the two of them slowly straightened up, looked up at the student, and asked in unison, "You just called me?" ”
