"That's a good idea, the crabs in the sea are bigger than the river, and the sea is bigger than the river."

The chief took a bite of a crab's claw with his mouth and ate a large bite of meat, which was fragrant and tasted like tender beef.

Zhu Wentian filled the room with wine: "It's not that I don't want to teach them, mechanical manufacturing and maintenance, we must start learning from the basics, otherwise we will rely on our own exploration, ten or eight years, it is better to study for two years." ”

"I feel like none of the things you teach are easy to learn, and the more you learn, the harder it becomes. Isn't it easy to fish up this crab? ”

The lieutenant changed the topic to crabs again, and he had a headache with technology.

"Three zhang to twenty zhang deep in the sea, migrating shallow sea, about one zhang deep in the water, this is called pike crab, can be artificially cultivated.

But the current conditions are not good, we can only raise it in our village, others do not have that foundation, the key is not valuable, there are so many in the sea, what to raise it?

You need to build a pond, all kinds of things, it's troublesome to manage, there are ponds, wouldn't it be better to raise ducks? ”

Zhu Wentian saw that the chief was staring at the crab and said, so he told him about the crab breeding problem he ate.

"Can our village raise it?" The lieutenant was tempted.

"Need salt, the same salt content as seawater, the oxygen content must also be controlled, the temperature can not be too low, I will tell you the breeding method, row an acre of land, raising?"

"Forget it, there are in the sea, you can catch it, why bother raising it alone!" The lieutenant shook his head and refused, he didn't have time to raise things himself.

"Let's have a pond, let's raise some pearls! Use spinnaker mussels, choose large ones, plant them and throw them in the pond, they live normally, and after a few years there will be pearls. ”

Zhu Wentian didn't want to be like crabs, and seeing that the chief always wanted to raise something, he simply proposed to raise pearls.

"The river mussels in Huaiyuan? I found a pearl last time, the odds are too small, can you raise it? The lieutenant nodded this time.

He heard that there was no need to bother him, just get the mussels back, plant something, throw it into the pond, and in a few years there would be pearls.

"Can be raised, there have been records in the past, but it is thrown directly into the shellfish, our species, the shellfish thrown has a great chance of spitting out.

And if you plant, a large river mussel can be planted a lot, and there are few people who are willing to eat river mussels, there are parasites, and it is not easy to chew, unless it is too hungry.

Large mussels can be found in many rivers, especially in Huaiyuan, which can be taken from there, and there are many lakes and rivers on our side. ”

Zhu Wentian decided to artificially cultivate pearls, in case someone is willing to buy them! If it really doesn't work, it can still be used as medicine.

"Han Han drinks, and when we plant the pearls, we will hang a bunch of them for each person in the village, just like the glass jewelry before, others don't know that it's easy to get! Hey, hey, hey~"

The chief laughed as he spoke, and when the people in the village went out, they would put on good clothes and then wear a bunch of jewelry, but in fact, only clothes were valuable, and the cost of jewelry was very low, there was no gold or silver, it was all glass.

But how do you generally know this, I feel dizzy when I look at it, how much does this body cost, rob it?

The people in the palace know that the people in Xiaqiu Village are simple and reluctant to spend money.

……

On the morning of August 15, a large number of crabs were caught, and the number was enough.

The mooncakes were also made, including those that were chilled, and various fruits were also placed next to the ice box to refrigerate.

The lieutenant chief began to beckon the people of the village, go to the river to touch the mussels, ask for a big one, put a basket with stones, tie it with his body and throw it into the river, and the people jumped down and stabbed the fierce son.

This is the Huangchi River, the flow rate and flow are not bad, and the average water-based person is estimated to rush out more than ten meters when he plunges into it.

"Yichang, what is this for?" Zhu Yuanzhang is curious, the people of Xiaqiu Village practice Zha Mengzi?

"Your Majesty, let's catch river mussels, plant pearls like farming, plant something, and in two years it will become pearls." The governor explained.

Zeng Lu next to him spoke: "With the fake pearls made today, choose the bright and round, take a slightly larger clam clam, soak it in water, serve its opening, and rush to cast it with beads." On the verge of changing clear water, put the clam in the moon at night to play the moon, and this will become a pearl after two autumns! ”

"Zeng Yushi is right, Pang Yuanying, Pang Shaoqing, Wenchang miscellaneous records! Zeng Yushi is really knowledgeable. ”

The lieutenant chief expressed his admiration, he listened to Hanhan's lecture yesterday, and then worked hard to remember.

Today, as soon as Zeng Lu heard about planting pearls, he immediately took them out, and it is indeed a pity that such a person suddenly fell ill and died.

The lieutenant laughed. Zeng Lu didn't dare to respond, there are masters behind them, and high-level talents are the most powerful.

"Just throw the fake pearl in it? What are fake pearls made of? Where to look? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang is interested in cultured pearls, and it seems that Xiaqiu Village can grow anything and raise anything.

I heard that in Helin, more than 30 wild donkeys were deceived to help with the work, and it was not easy for the wild donkeys to eat for a mouthful.

"Back to Your Majesty, fake pearls are ground with thick shells, and then polished, and people who are not familiar with it are easy to be deceived.

However, the fake pearl is too round, and if you throw it into the shell, it will spit out most of it.

We use the same method of planting, which is to grind the shell, or the shell of the mussel, out of a round place, and then directly implant it into the mussel meat.

In this way, the mussels can't spit out, so they can only keep secreting something to wrap the foreign body around it and avoid scratching themselves.

Pearls are like human fingernails, they can grow slowly, and they are like some people's hands are broken, into the sand, and then they grow pimples little by little.

Therefore, the key to pearl cultivation is to let foreign objects enter the shellfish, and then wait for the shellfish to secrete something to wrap it, and slowly become pearls.

The bigger the shells, the better, like the spinnaker mussels that are the easiest to get pearls......"

The chief said that the people over there went into the water again and again to touch the mussels, and it looked very hard.

Zhu Wentian quietly gestured to a few friends, turned his head and left, and a few friends followed.

When he went to a place where there was no one else around, he said a few words to his friends, went to get a net himself, and returned to the river as if he was going to help catch river mussels.

The friends brought the water mirror and the leather pipe, and when they saw someone in the village floating up from the water, they shouted: "Put on this mirror, put the pipe to your mouth, and tie the stone to your body." ”

When the villagers saw something, they swam over and put it on, and put a knife on their waists, and a small grinding disc tied to a rope, which was easier this time.

They were taken directly to the bottom of the river, breathed through that tube, looked around with a water mirror, found the large mussels and threw them into the basket.

The efficiency has been improved countless times in an instant, and it is less effortless than before when I swam downward, and my eyes are not so uncomfortable, and I feel particularly oppressive when I open my eyes in the water.

If you wear a water goggle, you will find that you can breathe smoothly and feel less afraid.

Many people who can't swim are fluttering in the water with their eyes closed, what if they open their eyes? At that time, my heart beat faster and more panicked.

At this moment, the problem of breathing and seeing is all solved, yes, there is also the problem of floating.

"This is good, this can be used for pearl diving, I heard that there are many pearls on the south coast, and many pearl divers are holding their breath to go down, and then some people don't come up."

Zhu Yuanzhang remembered a thing, a pearl diver, exchanging his life for money.
