Li Duoyu complained bitterly, but everyone didn't believe it at all, and the villagers were deceived by him.

Every time Li Duoyu shouts that he is poor, and when he says that he can't make money, he makes the most money.

Some villagers privately approached Zhu Xiuhua and asked him how to raise eels, but Zhu Xiuhua turned back.

"I want to know how to raise it, I have already raised it myself, and I will work for him?"

After Li Duoyu returned to the island, he soaked in the eel breeding factory almost every day.

One reason is that Liu Xiaolan is due to give birth, and it should be just a few days, Li Duoyu simply gave Chen Wenchao a maternity leave and asked him to accompany his wife well.

Another reason is that after the contract is signed, the nature is completely different.

If you raised eels before, even if they all died, Li Duoyu could barely afford it, after all, there was kelp and oysters to support, so it was a big deal to come back next year.

But now it can't be done, it's his responsibility, he must rush to prepare the eel with a size of half a catty before the "soil use ugly day" at the turn of summer and autumn.

The people of the island country distinguish the four seasons by the five elements.

Spring is wood,

Summer is fire,

Autumn is golden,

Winter is water,

The rest of the "soil" is placed in the eighteen days before the end of each season.

These eighteen days are called "soil days".

That is to say, there are four earthy uses in a year, and these eighteen days are divided according to the order of the twelve zodiac signs (Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai).

The islanders believe that the "Soil Ugly Day" is the most suitable time to eat eel.

As for why?

Li Duoyu, who has been working in the black industry for more than 20 years, really doesn't know.

I only know that on this day, almost all Japanese restaurants will put up signs that eat eel on the ugly day.

As a chef, he would be tired and half dead, and he would spend the whole day killing and grilling eels.

According to the contract, the Nagasaki Fisheries Association will send a boat to transport the eels from the Nagasaki Fisherfish before the land use day.

Although this is a project signed by the organization, it will be embarrassing if it is not delivered at that time, and maybe you will have to compensate the other party for the round-trip ferry fare.

Money is not so easy to make.

Now Li Duoyu is a little worried, after all, breeding eels is really a very delicate thing, and if you don't do it well, the whole pond will die.

He took a small bench and sat on the edge of the pond.

You can't see eels during the day.

However, you can see some silver carp swimming on the surface of the water, which were stocked in the Ga pond when it was just dug up.

Originally, it was just intended to be used to test the water quality, but I didn't want to raise it so big, and now each silver carp has about three catties.

Silver carp is a very good polyculture fish, generally feeding on phytoplankton and algae, and has a set of controls on water fertility.

And the silver carp is also the "broadcaster" in the water, once the oxygen content of the water is low, they will raise their heads and float all on the water.

In later generations, the rotten street things were very expensive fish in this era, even more expensive than many marine fish, and a pound could be sold for more than five cents.

Nationally, the overall sales of marine fish are not necessarily higher than those of these freshwater fish.

To put it mildly, if Li Duoyu is not a seaside person, if he really wants to engage in farming, he will 100% choose silver carp and tilapia.

And these days, Li Duoyu squats by the pond every day just to observe whether there are small white spots on these eels.

Spring is the season when eels are most susceptible to disease, especially a species called white spot disease (melon worm disease).

When the weather is cold or during the rainy season, this disease is especially popular with eels.

Once the eel has this disease, white spots will appear on the body, accompanied by symptoms such as loss of appetite, which can lead to a large number of deaths.

And the worst thing is that this disease is contagious, and there is no specific medicine, once you are hit, you can only change the water frequently, or pray for the temperature to rise quickly.

Good luck this year.

During this time, each pond was carefully inspected, and there was no white spot disease in the eels.

To be honest, Li Duoyu has been raising eels for so many years, and he has never been so serious and careful now.

Now he has taken into account what diseases will break out in the eel every time period, and has taken countermeasures.

If this is not good, then it is probably Mazu Niangniang, I don't want him to make money too quickly, otherwise he will soon become a salted fish.

During this time, Comrade Zhu Xiuhua worked very hard to learn how to raise eels, and often asked Li Duoyu some related questions from time to time.

"Duoyu, you don't raise fish in this pond, what are you using it for?"

For this person who has known each other for two lifetimes, it is no exaggeration to say that Li Duoyu is even more familiar with her than Zhou Xiaoying.

As soon as she spoke, Li Duoyu knew what she was thinking, to be honest, if the second sister-in-law didn't think carefully, then it wouldn't be the second sister-in-law.

"The pond."

"I'm specifically using it to grow algae."

"What is algae?"

"It's chlorella, green algae, diatoms, that sort of thing."

Zhu Xiuhua crashed on the spot.

I don't understand, I don't understand what Li Duoyu is talking about.

"What kind of algae are you, I don't know any of them."

Li Duoyu said seriously: "Kelp is also a kind of algae. ”

Zhu Xiuhua was stunned for a few seconds, and many people have persuaded her to secretly learn how to raise eels recently.

She's really a little moved.

I didn't think that such a simple pool of water would have so much knowledge.

Where did you learn this?

However, what made Zhu Xiuhua even more speechless was where did Li Duoyu learn so many messy things.

Seeing the second sister-in-law's stunned appearance, Li Duoyu couldn't help but smile, the more professional he spoke, the more confused the second sister-in-law estimated to be.

I guess she doesn't even understand what algae is, what algae is in the water, if no one wakes up this thing, she won't understand it at all.

At the beginning, Li Duoyu also studied for a long time before he learned about various algae in the water.

Algae are the key to the water cycle, which is why Li Duoyu has a separate pond to raise algae.

In addition, the water needs to be changed frequently, but if the water is changed too diligently, it is very easy to damage the ecology of the pond, thus bringing risks to the eels.

At this time, the pond used by Li Duoyu to raise water can come in handy, and some green water can be brought directly from there, so that the pond ecology can be quickly re-established.

In later generations, even those farmers who couldn't even distinguish between algae understood one thing, that is, before raising fish, they should first raise green water.

Because the green algae in the green water can not only make the pond green quickly, but also make the water body look less transparent, and add a sense of security to the eels.

Green algae also absorb excess ammonia nitrogen and nitrite from the pond.

And not to mention that the second sister-in-law doesn't understand this knowledge, it is estimated that the second brother who graduated from high school will have a headache when he hears it.

The uncle who majored in fisheries could understand what Li Duoyu was talking about.

Just when Li Duoyu thought of his brother-in-law Chen Dongqing, he really heard his brother-in-law's voice.

Listening to the voice, he looked up, and a young man with a beard and scum on his face had appeared in front of him.

"Tut-tut, after signing the contract, now I'm guarding the eel pond here every day."

Uncle Chen Dongqing is one of the few people who knows the real transaction price of eels, but my uncle also knows very well that this can't be talked about everywhere, even if someone in the same office asks, he doesn't tell them.

After seeing my brother-in-law coming.

Li Duoyu hurriedly stepped forward, held his hand, and said attentively: "Section Chief Chen, what kind of wind blew you to me, making our house bloom." ”

Chen Dongqing glanced at him: "Sheep is crazy." ”

There is not much age difference between the two, and when they are together, they still like to joke

"Our leader said that you have stolen the limelight of this expedition, let me come over and knock you well."

Li Duoyu smiled: "I don't want to steal your limelight either, but people are handsome, can I control them?" ”

"It's disgusting, goosebumps are up."

Chen Dongqing took out a pack of Chengfeng cigarettes, shook a cigarette out, put it in his mouth, and lit it directly with a match.

Li Duoyu motioned to bring one to himself as well.

Chen Dongqing glanced at him with disgust: "Smoke your own, recently your aunt asked Wenwen to learn piano, so I didn't even have the money to smoke." ”

"It's so miserable."

"You are a big dog, you don't understand the hardships of our salary."

After taking a few puffs of cigarettes, Chen Dongqing looked around and made sure that there was no one, then he took out a red-headed document from the briefcase he was carrying and asked:

"What does this have to do with you?"

After Li Duoyu took the document, he took a few brief glances, and was quite surprised, he didn't expect that the organizational efficiency was so high, and the document would be issued so quickly.

After reading the documents.

Li Duoyu pursed his lips and smiled:

"I want to have so much energy, what else am I going to do?"

"Now the boss of the seedling company is pitiful, just caught up with the leaders to vigorously develop the coastal aquaculture industry, and estimated that the investment money was wasted."

Chen Dongqing took a puff of cigarette, gritted his teeth and said: "He invested in wool, and he used all the money of our unit, and in the past six months, his research funds have been embezzled by him." ”

"Damn, he's such a cow."

Chen Dongqing sighed with emotion: "The ancestors carried guns, and this generation came to enjoy the blessings, can it be harmless." ”

"It's a pity, your grandfather used to carry a gun, but he was unlucky and didn't survive, otherwise we could have enjoyed it."

Chen Dongqing smoked for a while, and suddenly coughed violently.

Li Duoyu looked at him like this, and his brows furrowed: "Have you been a big smoker recently, I feel like you have pharyngitis." ”

"This is not some time ago, I was very stressed by the second generation, I feel that the work thief is boring, and I accidentally smoke too much."

"Quit if you can, smoking is not a good thing."

Chen Dongqing nodded and asked, "After that Lin Yi leaves, what are you going to do next?" ”

When Chen Dongqing asked, Li Duoyu was slightly stunned: "Let's develop normally first, and wait until I raise the eels." ”

Chen Dongqing went on to say:

"If Lin Yi leaves, the institute will start cultivating kelp seedlings in July, and start counting the number of breeding in May, how many acres of kelp do you plan to raise this year, do you want to try a thousand acres directly?"

Li Duoyu looked at his uncle in shock, and always felt that his uncle had become bolder, and a thousand acres of kelp was not a small scale.

This year, the kelp cultivated in the entire Shangfeng Town does not add up to 1,000 acres.

A family can't do it, you have to hire a lot of people.

And the investment is also very large, the brown rope material alone costs a lot of money, plus the cost of piling, it is also a lot of money.

Li Duoyu lowered his head and thought about it.

If you have 1,000 acres of kelp, it's not impossible, it's just unnecessary, and you can't be so tired.

After all, kelp farming really depends on God to eat, not only the body is tired, but the heart is also very tired.

When he invested in this eel factory, his family was worried enough that if he really engaged in such large-scale kelp farming.

It is estimated that A-Niang will live directly in the Tianhou Palace, Lao Li may live directly at sea, and Xiaoying will also worry about death.

Li Duoyu shook his head: "I'm too tired, I really can't get a thousand acres, and it's still possible to get two or three hundred acres." ”

Chen Dongqing said with a smile: "I thought you would dare, okay, I'll register you in advance first, and when the time comes, I'll reserve three hundred acres for you." ”

The two chatted for a while.

Li Duoyu looked at the time and found that it was already afternoon, but Chen Dongqing had no intention of going back.

"Splash, here, there is no room for you to sleep in, if you don't go back, you can only go to sleep on the fishing raft."

Chen Dongqing said with a smile: "The main thing is that if I go back empty-handed, it will be difficult to make a difference." ”

Li Duoyu glanced at him with disdain, he had too little contact with his uncle in his previous life, and he didn't expect that he would be such a faceless person.

"I still have a lot of dry goods at home, I'll give some to my sister-in-law and Wenwen to eat."

"There are a lot of dry goods at home, as long as your aunt also wants to eat that grilled eel, and your cousin Wenwen is also clamoring to eat grilled eel."

The corners of Li Duoyu's mouth twitched.

"One eel for one piece, the labor cost is five cents, and if there are two, three yuan."

"Duoyu, you will see the outside like this, who are we with whom, you are embarrassed to mention money to me."

"You can't even give me a cigarette, I don't mention money to you, who do I ask for money."

Chen Dongqing instantly took out a cigarette: "Come, Director Li, I'll light a cigarette for you." ”

", I recently quit smoking."

"Damn, you've quit smoking, and you're asking me for cigarettes, you're not cheap."

Although the two kept fighting, Li Duoyu still grilled three eels to his brother-in-law Chen Dongqing, and advised: "If you can't finish eating, you have to put it in the refrigerator." ”

Chen Dongqing smiled wryly: "I don't have a refrigerator at home." ”

"Then I'll give you two."

Chen Dongqing snatched all the grilled eels: "Three is just right, our family of three, just one for each person." ”

"Be careful of eating too much and getting nosebleeds."

When Li Duoyu returned home, he found that Liu Xiuzhu, the women's director, was also at his house, which made him have a very bad premonition.

"Director Liu, are you here to find me?"

"Hmm."

Liu Xiuzhu nodded.

Li Duoyu looked around and whispered, "Let's go inside the house and talk." ”

When he got to the house, Li Duoyu nervously asked, "Did anyone find out?" ”

Liu Xiuzhu said directly: "Someone came to me to report that your cousin Li Yuanguang's wife was pregnant with her third child. ”

After hearing the news.

Li Duoyu breathed a sigh of relief, scared me to death, and thought that his sister Splash had been discovered.

What puzzles Li Duoyu is that in his previous life, his cousin Li Yuanguang had two children in the family, and there was no third child. (End of chapter)
