Chapter 404: Tigers, Crab Slaves, and Sluices
Li Duoyu used Zhao Erniu's air gun to knock over several mice, and by the way, he also hit a big "spicy strip".
Then, the cage began to be collected.
The method of collecting the cage is also very simple, that is, the fish in the end of the cage is pushed to the end of the rope at the front, and then all the fish are poured into the bucket.
There are still a lot of seafood in the cage, and there are all kinds of small fish, but Li Duoyu is not very interested in the sea fish in the cage.
Ironically, in this era when offshore resources have not been exhausted, fishermen are still quite picky.
For fishermen, there is a hierarchy of seafood, and the seafood in the mangrove forest belongs to the kind that cannot be put on the table.
In the words of local fishermen, who eats the seafood in the mangrove forest, there is an earthy smell, and these fish can often only be treated as trash fish.
Because the sea fish in the mangrove forest are not valuable, this is also the reason why few people come to the mangrove forest, and generally only the Zhao family brothers.
In the ground cage, in addition to the blue crab fry, the fish caught the most is the black pond snakehead, which has a texture similar to the grouper.
Here in the tidal flats, the snakehead is similar to the existence of grouper, belongs to the apex predator, very ferocious, small fish, shrimp and crabs are its food.
The locals call this fish the Cockroach Tiger, and the blue crab is called the Cockroach in the local dialect.
Chinese people have a habit of naming animals, if this animal is good at catching a certain kind of prey, it will be named XX tiger.
Take gobies, for example.
You don't have to think about it to know that this fish is very good at eating shrimp.
There are also bee-eaters and things like that.
Those who are engaged in blue crab farming are most afraid of tigers in the breeding ponds.
Especially for blue crab seedlings, the destructive power of the tiger is very great, and one blue crab fry feels like eating a snack.
But even if the blue crab grows up.
It's still not the opponent of the tiger.,The fish that loves to eat blue crabs the most.,It's said that in order to eat blue crabs, they will even catch crabs to enforce the law.。
There is a long-standing saying along the coast that the tiger will deliberately seize the nest of the blue crab when it is out and deliberately show its tail to tease it.
As long as the blue crab clamps its tail, the tiger will suddenly exert force and directly shake off the big turtle of the blue crab, and after the blue crab has no big fish, the tiger will slowly consume it.
However, Li Duoyu doesn't believe this statement, and the blue crab is not afraid of tigers at all when he grows up.
It is estimated that the tiger will take advantage of the weak period of the blue crab to find its trouble.
Because after the blue crab molts, its whole body is soft, and it has no ability to resist at all, and the blue crab at this time is a lump of meat that has no ability to resist.
Most of the fish in the cage have died because they have been away for too long, and the only ones that are still alive are the tigers and dragons.
And the number of tigers is particularly large, seven or eight can be caught in one cage, and each one is still alive and well.
This fish is extremely tenacious, and can survive when it leaves the sea and is slightly wet.
Nowadays, fishermen don't like to eat tigers very much because there are too many marine fish to eat.
But after thirty or forty years, gobies will be very expensive, and larger gobys can be sold for almost 100 pounds.
This fish is the same as Shi Jiugong, everyone likes to use it to stew soup and drink, especially with some tofu, which is particularly delicious.
Li Duoyu remembered that there was an anchor in Rongcheng who specialized in shooting seafood, so he used this fish to stew soup with old tofu.
Zhao Erniu used to catch some of this kind of fish and sell it at the dock, but now he hates it quite much.
Because he caught several tigers, he found that some of them were still biting small blue crabs in their mouths, and it seems that their purpose in coming to the cage is very clear.
Zhao Erhu directly gave the goby two big-mouthed melon seeds, and scolded: "So greedy, why don't you die for it." ”
It took more than an hour.
Li Duoyu, Zhao Erniu and Shi finally finished the ground cage.
The one caught the most was Zhao Erniu, 30 ground cages, more than 1,000 blue crab seedlings, as well as seven big blue crabs, three earth dragons and more than 20 catties of gobys.
Next, there are the stones.
And Li Duoyu is the least, after all, he is only ten ground cages, and he is really unfamiliar with mangroves.
The fish that died in the crab pot were not thrown away, but put into the net bag of the ground cage, so that they could continue to attract blue crab fry and sea fish into the net to eat the meat.
Overall, Li Duoyu is still very satisfied with the harvest of blue crab seedlings, and the two large buckets are full.
The three of them caught more than 2,000 blue crab seedlings, most of which were the size of thumb caps, and some were four or five centimeters wide.
Zhao Erniu carried a bamboo basket on his back, held an open dustpan, and directly shoveled up a piece of mud on the tidal flat.
Then they were washed in seawater, and not long after, after the soil was washed away, many small crabs appeared.
The most common are fiddler crabs.
The big tongs were particularly easy to recognize, and Zhao Erniu bounced off some fiddler crabs, leaving only the small blue crabs.
The stone on the side was dumbfounded, and couldn't help asking: "Erniu, can you teach me how to catch so many little blue crabs with just a shovel." ”
Zhao Erniu said in disgust: "If you want to learn, I can teach you, but you have to pay tuition." ”
Shi glared and said: "Damn, Zhao Erniu, are you crazy about money, if I want to go fishing, I will make more money than you catching blue crab seedlings, I am just curious about how you caught it, you have to charge me tuition." ”
"Then you don't go fishing, why are you here to grab blue crab fry with me?"
The stone froze.
He won't tell Zhao Erniu that he came here to persuade Brother Yu to see if he can help him draw a red line.
Judging from Brother Yu's current reaction, it is almost impossible to pull the red line, thinking of this upset stone, he said to Zhao Erniu:
"I didn't want to rob you of the blue crab seedlings, but when I heard that you were going to charge me money, I had to rob you."
Zhao Erniu scolded:
"Stone, are you sick?"
"Hmph, what's wrong with my illness?"
"Fault." Zhao Erniu doesn't like this person very much, mainly because this person is babbling, smiling every day, and speaking very loudly.
But everyone still likes him, and the main reason why Zhao Erniu hates stones is purely because of jealousy.
When the two brothers couldn't find a wife, the matchmaker disliked their brother several times and said something:
If you two brothers are like that stone, have a house and a boat at home, and are young and sunny, then it must be easy to introduce.
But what makes Zhao Erniu most unhappy is that this stone is obviously easy to find a partner, but he doesn't want to please his wife, so he likes to live alone.
Shi also went home and took a flat-headed dustpan over, learned Zhao Erniu to shovel soil, and then went to the sea water to dig it.
As a result, I searched several times.
They only caught fiddler crabs, and they didn't catch small blue crabs at all.
Zhao Erniu sneered: "If you were really so studious, I wouldn't charge for it, give me a hundred yuan, and I'll teach you how to fish." ”
"You're thinking about fart."
What Zhao Erniu didn't expect was that after grabbing the stone a few more times, he seemed to have found the trick.
"Erniu, isn't the hole of the little blue crab different?"
The corners of Zhao Erniu's mouth twitched.
I don't want to pay attention to people like Shi at all.
Next.
Li Duoyu also lent the ten ground cages he had just bought to Zhao Erniu.
He prepares for the next step.
The blue crab fry caught cannot enter the pond directly, and the pond must be cleared first.
Li Duoyu temporarily keeps these blue crab fry in the cement pond of the eel factory.
If you throw it directly into the pond like this, there must be such a thing as a tiger in it.
Even if Li Duoyu puts more blue crab fry in, he will send snacks to the tiger.
After Li Duoyu received this batch of blue crabs, he specially checked the larger blue crab fry to see if they had been infected by the crab slaves.
In addition to the tiger, the farmers also hate the crab slave, and instinctively feel that the crab slave is very disgusting, even more disgusting than the nematode.
Once a blue crab is infected by a crab slave, it loses its ability to reproduce.
If a female crab is parasitized, it will not be able to become a cream crab, while if a male crab is parasitized, it will become very sissy and will not be able to grow up.
If it is parasitic in the later stage, the blue crab will be completely dominated by the crab slave, and will become a tool for the crab slave to reproduce, and even grow an "egg bag" that is very similar to the crab egg.
Local farmers generally refer to the blue crabs infected with crab slaves as "bed bug crabs", because the taste of the crabs will become bad in the later stage of parasitism.
Some black-hearted farmers will not dispose of the parasitic blue crabs after seeing them, but cut off the fake egg packets and continue to sell them for money.
Li Duoyu patiently selected for more than half an hour, and really let him find several blue crabs infected with crab slaves, directly treated them humanely, and buried them in the soil.
After settling the blue crab seedlings.
Li Duoyu came to the pond and looked at the pond in front of him, and there were many things to do next.
The first step is to clear the pond and clear the fish.
If you catch it with a net, it is inevitable that there will be fish that will slip through the net, and once there are fish fry that survive, the harm to the blue crab fry is still quite great.
In the previous life, farmers used a lot of potion called [Removing Fish, Shrimp and Crab An], which only needs more than one bottle per mu.
As long as it is poured into the pond, the fish will be poisoned, but it will not hurt the shrimp and crabs.
But in this era, Li Duoyu couldn't find this thing at all, so he could only take the simplest way, which was to dry the pond.
If you want to dry the pond, it is better to make a sluice, without which you will not be able to change the water, and in the event of a large algae explosion, or continuous rainstorms, the water body will explode in minutes.
When Li Duoyu raised eels, he had already experienced that if the water body was not done well, it would be a big problem.
Li Duoyu called his brother-in-law Zhang Mingsheng and several old masters, and together they dug a drainage channel on the embankment with a hoe.
As the water in the pond continues to flow towards the open sea, the water level in the pond has also decreased a lot.
After draining the water.
Brother-in-law Zhang Mingsheng commanded the tractor and repaired an embankment around the outlet, wrapping the outlet.
In this way, the next time the tide rises, the seawater will not pour into the pond.
Li Duoyu began to build the sluice gates, and in his previous life, the sluice gates were all the kind of electric iron gates poured with cement.
But in this era, Li Duoyu could only use the most simple method, that is, to build a gate with stone bars, and replace the iron gate with thick wooden boards.
For this gate alone, Li Duoyu spent more than ten days to build it.
In summer, the sun is scorching.
Rao is an island man like Li Duoyu, who was also sunburned and peeled off a layer of skin, and after more than ten days of exposure.
The soil at the bottom of the pond was also exposed to the sun until it cracked, but Li Duoyu still felt that it was not enough, so he specially invited a group of people to simply turn over the pond with a plowshare, and at the same time sprinkled a layer of quicklime as a base.
Li Duoyu believes that since it is necessary to engage in aquaculture, it cannot be sloppy, although it is very troublesome, but it is very necessary.
Do more preparation work in the early stage, and you won't have to be so embarrassed later, Li Duoyu has seen a lot of people who are engaged in breeding with a fluke mentality.
In the end, they often lose to bankruptcy, because the farming industry is really not suitable for those who fish in troubled waters.
After the end of the clear pond.
The final step is water distribution.
In fact, it is very simple, that is, the seawater in the pond is matched with seawater suitable for the growth of blue crabs.
Since the blue crab fry of Li Duoyu were caught in the nearby mangrove forest, the water body is almost the same, so there is no need for water distribution.
If Li Duoyu's blue crab fry were purchased from other places, it couldn't be so casual.
First of all, you have to let the blue crab fry pass through the water to see if the blue crab fry can adapt to the local sea water.
If it is not adapted, it must be equipped with water until the blue crab seedlings adapt to the water body.
Some people who don't know how to do it, get the blue crab seedlings, and pour them directly into the pond, but in less than two days, all the seedlings are all dead.
Breeding this thing is like this, it seems to be very simple, in fact, there are pits at every step, and there are many doorways.
After the pond is filled, Li Duoyu plans to officially release the blue crab fry.
During the period when he was working as a sluice gate and a dry pond, Zhao Erniu was also very powerful, and he provided him with nearly 50,000 blue crab seedlings.
In these days of crab seedlings, I don't know who revealed the news, not only many villagers came to watch.
Secretary Chen directly led a group of investigation groups to the island, and the members of the delegation were village cadres from various villages in the town.
They were shocked to see Li Duoyu build such a large pond.
Secretary Chen sighed: "I haven't paid attention to you for only a month or two, and I've made such a big project." ”
Li Duoyu scratched his head.
"Idle is idle, so let's try."
The village cadres of other villages asked, "Director Li, if so many blue crabs are raised in full, then you will not be rich." ”
Li Duoyu said truthfully: "If these blue crabs have a survival rate, I will be thankful." ”
"It's only a percentage, isn't it, such an exaggeration?"
Li Duoyu sighed: "I'm afraid that there is not even a chengcheng." ”
In fact, blue crabs are really not very easy to raise, and the problems are no less than that of eels, especially when molting, they are particularly easy to die.
It can be said that most of the blue crab farmers are gambling on dogs, and they often rely on numbers to win.
In the evening.
It was also a good weather for the fire clouds, and Li Shuguang and Shi hurriedly found Li Duoyu.
Stone asked a little nervously:
"Brother Yu, my grandfather asked, can he come to the island."
The moment he heard this, Li Duoyu already understood that the two of them had met the old man.
But as the village director, Li Duoyu's whole face instantly fell: "You have asked me, that must not work." ”
"Ahh
Shi furrowed his brows and made a bitter face: "But my grandfather is already in the open sea, and he really wants to come to see my grandma." ”
Li Duoyu snorted: "You two are really bold, what if the other party is a spy?" ”
"My grandfather is definitely not."
"Do you think others will believe it, can you prove it?"
After hearing this, Shi was stunned in place, his mouth bulging, he thought that Brother Yu would definitely support it.
Because he was the first person to help Ah Gong.
I didn't expect that Brother Yu would be so opposed.
Li Duoyu glanced at the lost and aggrieved stone, and also frowned.
In fact, Li Duoyu had already instructed his cousin Li Shuguang not to rush to bring him to the island even if he met an old man.
This is because in two years, the two sides of the strait will begin to have a formal dialogue, and when the time comes, veterans will also be able to return to the mainland to visit their relatives.
I didn't expect that this old man was so bold that he would bring the ship to their side.
If this is bumped into by the fishery administration.
It is estimated that it will be taken away directly.
To be honest, Li Duoyu doesn't need to take this risk for others, they don't tell themselves, they meet secretly, that's nothing.
But once it is said to him, then he must fulfill the accusation of the village chief.
Shi's eyes turned red: "Brother Yu, is there no way, my grandma has been waiting for my grandfather for more than forty years." ”
"As long as I am the village chief, I will definitely not agree to you."
After Li Duoyu finished speaking, he added:
"However, when I was in the Zhoushan Islands, I saw a refuge for compatriots, compatriots from overseas provinces, if the fishing boat broke down, we could help rescue it."
"But after going to the island, there are rules, you can't run casually, and you have to notify our village committee as soon as possible about this kind of thing."
After listening to it, the stone immediately understood.
"Thank you, Brother Yu."
Li Duoyu had a dark face: "I didn't help you, why are you thanking me." ”
Shi suddenly became serious: "I understand, I haven't been here, and I haven't discussed this matter with you." (End of chapter)
