Chapter Eighty-Three: New Year, New Weather
New year, new atmosphere.
As soon as the Spring Festival passed, the wharf was lively again, and there were boats and firecrackers going out to sea to fish everywhere.
As for Zhang Meiying's matter, after it was reported on the island for a day or two, not many people were interested.
On the contrary, the money earned by Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao on Chinese New Year's Eve made everyone very red and realized the importance of fishing rafts.
In the past, when everyone caught fish, they were treated as dead fish by default, and they didn't want to temporarily keep them in the cage of the fishing row, which could be raised for so long.
In the past, those trash fish were either pulled to make shrimp oil or pulled to make fish fertilizer.
Sometimes there are so many that no one wants it, so they just pour it into the sea, but they didn't think that it could be used to feed those groupers, big yellow croakers and the like.
On the side of the wharf, several boat bosses lamented that Li Duoyu was very good at making money, and discussed whether to make a fishing row as well.
They even thought further afield, intending to retrofit a live fish tank on the fishing boat to increase the survival rate of the fish.
When the boat bosses were discussing, there was a middle-aged woman named Lin Jinlan, who happened to be prying oysters on the side.
She didn't have a good Spring Festival this year, because the youngest daughter of the family, despite the opposition of the family, fell in love with a poor boy who had no father and no mother.
Originally, she told the matchmaker that after the Chinese New Year, she would give her and the son of the director of the supply and marketing cooperative.
I didn't want to kill a poor boy halfway, and if the matchmaker wanted to come to propose marriage in two days, how should I answer people.
Said that her daughter had already gotten along with someone else?
Lin Jinlan really doesn't understand, what is so good about that poor boy, there is an old lady with inconvenient legs and feet at home, and there is not even a fishing boat.
After getting married, there was no money to eat, not to mention, maybe in two years, the old lady would be lying in bed, and she would have to eat, drink, and Lazar.
What's the picture?
But Wang Jinshan, the son of the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, is rich and rich, but it is not as good as she imagined, and she has also inquired these days.
I talked about a woman before, but then I didn't know why I broke up, and I heard that it seemed that there was something wrong with her body.
Although her elder brothers can't wait for her to marry the son of the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, so that they can exchange for a diesel engine fishing boat.
But the palms and backs of her hands are full of meat, and her daughter was also born in October when she was pregnant, and she watched her grow up since she was a child, how can she be a mother who doesn't hurt her daughter.
Before she figured it out, she didn't want to push her daughter into the fire pit.
This is also the reason why the matchmaker has been talking to her for so long, and she has not finalized it yet.
But right now.
Lin Jinlan seemed to hear that the boat bosses had been praising the young man named Li Duoyu, and said that they wanted to learn from him or something.
This?
She didn't have a good impression of this young man, and she used to go to their neighborhood and blow hooligan whistles to her daughter.
That poor boy is mixed with him, what is there to boast about this kind of person.
Lin Jinlan put down the oyster shell in her hand, leaned over and asked, "Is that Li Duoyu really that powerful?" ”
One of the boat bosses said:
"I don't know if it's powerful, but it is really possible to make money, and last year, we made the most money on Chinese New Year's Eve on our island, and it was him and Chen Wenchao."
"Ahh
Lin Jinlan was stunned: "Is my neighbor Chen Wenchao?" ”
"It's not him, who else."
The boat boss sighed: "This kid is really lucky, after the catastrophe did not die, he finally followed the right person, I heard that on Chinese New Year's Eve, he received almost three hundred yuan." ”
After hearing about the money.
Lin Jinlan took a sharp breath of cold air, no wonder during this time, she always felt that her daughter had more jewelry.
But she was still not at ease, Lin Jinlan continued: "Now young people, they must make quick money, so it is possible that their luck is so good every time." ”
The boat boss laughed and said:
"Second sister-in-law Lin, you don't come out and walk around too often, the most active young people on our island now are this Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao."
"Once is lucky, but twice, three times, it's not a matter of luck, but people really have that ability."
"Besides, these two young people are really working hard now, if we old men don't work hard, we will soon be eliminated by them."
After hearing this, Lin Jinlan was also very surprised, because their family did not have fishing boats, and they did not come to the dock very often, and they didn't know what had happened in the past few months.
On this day, she asked someone again, which side is the one who does the practical thing, and she now knows it clearly.
Forget it, if you are scolded, you will be scolded, and you can't ruin your child's future because of face.
After prying the oyster shell that day, Lin Jinlan took the initiative to find the matchmaker, and brought an apology to make the matter clear.
As a result, he was naturally scolded.
But after being scolded, Lin Jinlan also felt happy, but after going home, she had to face Xiaolan's unsuccessful brothers.
"Ugh."
……
……
After the Lantern Festival.
The Spring Festival is over.
Li Xiaorong also went north to study, but Li Haoran was not happy for two days, and he started a new semester.
The kelp seedlings of Li Duoyu have grown for more than two meters now, after more than four months of growth.
The length is enough, but it is not thick enough and not wide enough, and if the kelp is put away, the taste will not be too good, and the grade is not very high, and it is a secondary product.
However, after the Spring Festival, the sea water will be slightly warmer, especially before and after Qingming, and there will be a period of kelp explosion and weight gain.
And what Li Duoyu has to do now is to raise the kelp breeding water layer and let the kelp sunbathe as much as possible.
During this period of more than a month of growth, kelp can at least double its weight.
At that point, the harvest will be ready.
Due to the close time of the kelp harvest, the brother-in-law Chen Dongqing came back very frequently.
Seeing that people's thirty acres of kelp are managed so well, so healthy, and so beautiful in color, he is not needed at all.
Chen Dongqing is used to it.
Even began to doubt themselves.
Is the kelp farming project he researches too simple?
But when he came to the captain's kelp field, his blood pressure was so high that he smoked half a pack of cigarettes on the spot.
Obviously, they have told them that the weather is too cold, there is a lot of fog during the Spring Festival, and there is not enough light, so it is necessary to improve the kelp breeding water layer.
As a result, as soon as the others left, Wang Cannon was fooled around, completely taking his words as wind in his ears.
So angry that he couldn't help but help adjust the water layer, but before she could adjust a few, her face was so dark that she didn't want to speak.
There is no unified standard for the kelp rope of a hundred acres of kelp field, some are tied in a slipknot, some are tied in a dead knot, and some are tied in a fisherman's knot.
Those who tie the knot, after the sea water bubbles and swells, they can't be untied at all, so they can only be cut with a knife.
This 100 acres of kelp, raised for more than three months, on average is only one meter long, more than ten centimeters wide, and because the water layer has not been adjusted, a large number of kelp has appeared green rot.
In a little more than a month, it will be the harvest period of kelp, and Chen Dongqing knows very well that the summer seedlings of this variety he studied will not last for May on Dandan Island.
If you don't harvest in May, once the temperature rises, it will rot in the sea within a few days.
According to this development, the kelp produced by this more than 100 acres is not only of poor quality and bad taste, but the overall output may not be as much as the 30 acres of Li Duoyu.
After the whole breeding, I am afraid that I will have to post a lot of money, and it is possible that the situation like Chen Atai will occur again, and he will start to advocate everywhere that raising kelp is not profitable and loss-making.
But now Chen Dongqing no longer has any hope for this 100 acres of kelp field, but hopes that there will be some big tide and dry up this 100 acres of kelp field.
That way he won't be affected.
