Alpine Orchard

Chapter 275 Big Green Prawn

The summer solstice is over.

The already hot weather felt even hotter.

Even though the temperature is about the same, it feels like there is a little more anger.

Feel it, this summer is much hotter than last year.

Early in the morning, Ye Mo and his father-in-law went out to catch crayfish in cages again.

Now the daily shipment of crayfish is controlled at about 1500 catties.There are fewer and fewer large freshwater prawns, and most of them are 4 yuan and 5 yuan.

In addition, the number of shrimp seedlings is more.

Zhang Wenhua came over very early, pulled Ye Mo aside, and whispered: "The quality of the crayfish here has dropped a lot. They are smaller in size, have a bit more fishy smell, and the meat is not as firm as before. Yes Isn't it because of the feed?"

"This..." Ye Mo also knew something was wrong, the crayfish are indeed not as delicious as before, and said: "It is probably because of too much feed."

"The batch of crayfish was harvested today, and we will stop harvesting for a while. Wait for the crayfish to grow a bit more... In addition, if the quality cannot be restored, the price will also be reduced. In recent days, my customers have been very dissatisfied. "Zhang Wenhua said: "How about fishing for crayfish in the small reservoir?"

"Let's stop fishing for a while." Ye Mo said, "There aren't many crayfish in the reservoir, and I'm going to grow one or two shrimp."

"That's all right, I'm fishing today, stop fishing for a while." Zhang Wenhua sighed, and said, "I'll come and collect the crayfish after they recover or grow bigger."

"Ah."

Some time ago, I saw that crayfish eat aquatic plants too badly. In some areas, the aquatic plants have eaten the bark, leaving only one aquatic plant vine.Then the feed was increased, and hundreds of liters of spiritual springs were poured into the reservoir.

With enough feed, crayfish still prefer to eat feed.

Up to now, the aquatic plants have grown again, but the taste of crayfish is not as good as before.

"How much do the crayfish in the small reservoir weigh?"

"Basically more than 6 renminbi, there are also seven or eight renminbi." Ye Mo said: "Four or five renminbi, there should be none."

"The crayfish in the small reservoir haven't been raised, have they?"

"That's not..." Ye Mo said in embarrassment.

In the pursuit of production, you have to give up quality.Pursue quality, then you have to give up output...

Ye Mo is going to raise one or two shrimps, and he will have to raise them for more than a month or two.The longer the crayfish grows, the slower it will be. Otherwise, the bigger the crayfish, the more expensive it will be.

"I have a very important customer who complained to me about the quality of crayfish. He mainly collects large freshwater shrimp. Can you get me a few hundred catties so that I can maintain the relationship with him." Zhang Wenhua said: "Maintaining important customers Block, you will benefit too."

"How much?"

"If he supplies all his strength, he can eat more than 1000 catties of big freshwater shrimp every day. Now, two to three hundred catties per day will do. He is an important customer who has just developed..."

"Okay, I'll get it for you." Ye Mo said with a smile.

The crayfish in the large reservoir have not decreased significantly.But the number of small and middle-aged youth is too much.There are also shrimp fry, too many.

Ye Mo turned around and took four large ground cages, put the bait in, drove to the small reservoir, and threw the ground cages down.

"Dad." Ye Mo called Lin Shan.

"What?"

"Don't put the shrimp larvae back, send them to the small reservoir." Ye Mo said, "The density of crayfish in the small reservoir is much smaller."

"okay."

The crayfish in the small reservoir are the first to lay eggs.

At the end of March and the beginning of April, the crayfish with eggs caught from the large reservoir... The crayfish here are basically 6 yuan, and a few are [-] or [-] yuan.

Zhang Wenhua first fished out a few to measure the length, and then weighed them.Specifications, very uniform...

"Or, the crayfish in this reservoir should be sold." Zhang Wenhua said: "There is still time to raise one or two shrimps."

Zhang Wenhua meant to quickly sell the crayfish in the reservoir.There are too many shrimp seedlings in the big reservoir. After they are sold out, they should be cleared and raised again.

"30 yuan per catty?" Ye Mo said.

"The price of 30 yuan is already very high." Zhang Wenhua said with a sincere face, "I will sell these big freshwater prawns to earn some hard money."

"Really?" Ye Mo had a disbelieving expression on his face.

"Why do you do it cheaply? Well, I have to earn some..."

Ye Mo smiled and nodded: "The crayfish here must be shipped quickly, so I can raise the second batch."

"Okay. I'll call and ask now..." Zhang Wenhua went under the coconut tree, took out his mobile phone to contact the customer, made more than a dozen phone calls, and came back: "I'll arrange a car to come over immediately, with 3000 catties. What? Well, that's enough."

"Three thousand catties, it's okay." Ye Mo then called the father-in-law and asked him to put the shrimp seedlings back into the large reservoir.

Wait until the crayfish fishing here is almost done, and then catch the shrimp seedlings and transfer them over.

A thousand catties of Zhongqing has already been loaded into the car.

Ground cages, net cages, etc., are all transported here.

The large reservoir is more than seventy acres.The water level of the small reservoir is almost full now, and it is about [-] mu, which is not too small.Even the water on the side of the small reservoir is shallower. As far as crayfish farming is concerned, the usable water surface area is larger than that of the large reservoir.

The small reservoir has been controlling the amount of feed fed.

Back then, the water plant spores bought by Ye Mo were put into the entire reservoir. In one winter, under the action of the Lingquan, the entire reservoir grew water plants.

Because the amount of feed is controlled, the crayfish can't eat enough, so they naturally eat aquatic plants.As a result, there are fewer aquatic plants around the small reservoir.The middle area is dense with water and grass...

Crayfish, on the other hand, mostly like to be in shallow water areas.

It's relatively easy to catch crayfish.The crayfish here have uniform specifications, and they can be packed directly without screening when they are caged in the ground.

Three thousand catties of large-sized crayfish can be packed in two hours.

It was past eleven.

Zhang Wenhua has just verified that these crayfish have not been 'polluted'.When packing the crayfish, Zhang Wenhua brought more than a dozen crayfish to Ye Mo's house, boiled them... and tasted them.It tastes the same as the crayfish before, even... the taste is better.

"I'll be back tomorrow morning." Zhang Wenhua got into the aquatic product car and was about to follow the car to leave. He poked his head out, looked at Ye Mo and waved.

Ye Mo also waved his hand.

Sell ​​these crayfish now... It feels like it should be said to be about the same.

There is still a certain risk in growing a tael of freshwater shrimp.The current temperature is high, even if it is cultivated in a reservoir here, the shells of some crayfish have changed color and turned into red shells.

It will take at least 6 months to raise 10 yuan to 2 yuan.These two months, the temperature is the hottest time of the year... If it turns into a red shell...the green shell costs 2 yuan per catty, and the red shell is estimated to be only about 55 yuan.

It is sold now, and I will raise another batch when I have time.If it is raised until November, if the quality is good, it can be sold at a higher price.
