Chapter 125 Do You Know Jumping Fish?
The tidal flat in the southeast corner of Qianhai Town is very large. How big is it? It is probably the level where you can hardly see the sea level when you stand on the road and look far away after the tide has completely ebbed.

Along the way, you can see many fishermen walking on the tidal flats, turning over the mud with hoes from time to time, looking for jumping fish.

On the tidal flat, many women can be seen shuttling through the mangroves on the south side, and they are picking olive money.

As soon as he arrived at the place, Li Xindong carried his bicycle to the shore and locked it, and went down to the tidal flat with tools to start working, while Xu An stood on the side of the road and watched.

In my previous life, I only heard about the farming of jumping fish in the village, which is on the tidal flat in the southeast corner.

After working for three years, I made a lot of money. Every household in Xujia Village has built new houses and new electric cars. The village even built a small square. Aunt Hong and the others can dance square dances together after dinner. The standard of living has improved a lot.

If they can continue to work, Xujia Village will be able to live a life of traveling by car sooner or later.

However, Xujia Village was not the only one who contracted this tidal flat. More than a dozen nearby villages such as Majia Village and Yanjia Village were contracted together, and Xujia Village only occupied a small part of them.

Compared with Xujia Village, due to the large number of people in other villages, there were a lot of troubles caused by cliques. In the end, no one would accept the other and began to do their best to do bad things.

Today I will tear off a corner of your greenhouse and let the seabirds enter your shed to have a feast; tomorrow I will block the seawater entrance of your farming field, so that the seawater cannot enter your field when the tide is high; the day after tomorrow I will find some rotten fish Shrimp thrown in your shed
After messing around, everyone became angry and tried to do bad things with all their energy.

It doesn't matter whether I can take advantage of it or not, but I will be happy if I can make you feel deflated.

It is not that there are so many villages without honest people, but usually hardworking and capable honest people have no say in these matters.

The income in the second year was only [-]% of that in the first year, which intensified the dark side in everyone's heart.

In the third year, all kinds of methods were used on the bright side, and even such nonsense things as pouring pesticides into the breeding fields were done.

No one dares to mess with Xujia Village, but tidal flat farming is all about prosperity and prosperity, and loss and loss.

When the sea tide rises, the pesticides that were originally only sprinkled on one farming field are not only brought to each farming field by sea water, but also to the sea.

After several days of low tide, countless dead fish and shrimps appeared on the tidal flats, and the stench was suffocating.
Ever since, the new rural development project, which was booming in the first year and was interviewed by the city's TV station, ended in such a sloppy manner.

Now, in August 2012, this tidal flat is still unoccupied, it is so clean, so clear, and the breath of sea water is so pure
Three years later, the jumping fish breeding was a great success, so if it was three years in advance, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Xu An took out his mobile phone and began to search for the breeding cases of jumping fish, and found that several other coastal cities in China have already started tidal flat farming.

In addition to tidal flat farming, there are also shallow sea seine farming, deep sea bamboo rafts, and floating ball hanging farming
The sea has become a sea pasture for human beings
The only remaining problem now is how to tell Second Grandpa this reliable development model at the right time, at the right place, and in the right way?

If tidal flat farming can be linked with the current rural industrial support, with policy support, and certain achievements can be made, will Xujia Village's road be easier than in the previous life?
September [-]st, there is still half a month to go, so I have to find a way to let the second grandfather know the feasibility of tidal flat farming as soon as possible.

Xu An put the phone back in his pocket and was about to leave when he looked up and saw those women picking olive money in the mangrove forest.

Thinking of the taste of olive money after cooking, Xu An couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, and shouted at a woman closest to the shore.

"Auntie, how much money did you pick for olives? Do you sell them for money? How much is a catty? I want to buy some and go back and try it!"

"Selling money, how much do you want for 20 yuan a catty?" My aunt stopped picking, pulled her feet out of the mud with difficulty, and walked towards Xu An step by step.

"How much have you picked? I want three to five catties."

"Yes, just wait."

The aunt walked to the shore, left after leaving such a sentence, and appeared in front of Xu An in less than 3 minutes, with an extra old-fashioned weight in her hand.

"A total of six catties, do you want all of them?"

"I want it all." Xu An generously wrapped up all the money.

Carrying the olive money back home, Grandma Xu saw the olive money in Xu An's hand, showing a trace of disgust on her face.

During the great famine that year, olive money was eaten by the seaside people as food.

Wash it, soak it to remove the bitterness, steam it in a pot, and eat it directly. Many times, you don’t even add a little salt. If it’s unpalatable, you have to swallow your neck. If you want to survive, you have to eat it.

Grandma Xu was also one of these people back then, and it was at this time that she was hurt by eating olive money. She couldn't control the expression on her face when she saw the olive money.

That memory is really deep in my memory.

Xu An's method is naturally not as rough as that time. He took out a small knife and gently cut the outer skin of the olive money, and took out the hairy core inside and threw it away. This core is the source of the bitter taste.

After all the olive money has been processed in this way, wash it twice and pour it into the pot, add water to cover the surface of the olive money, cover the pot, bring it to a boil and then turn off the heat, wait until the water temperature cools, remove the olive money and replace it with clean water to soak , Repeat this three times, and soak until the next morning to completely remove the bitterness.

Finally, it is cooked together with shrimp, and it becomes a delicacy that is extremely sweet and delicious.

Just as Xu An finished disposing of the olive money, someone knocked on the courtyard door, and a childish voice sounded outside the door: "Brother Anzi, brother Anzi, Grandpa has something to ask you, let you go to my house!"

"Well, Shitou, you go back first, brother will be there in a while!" After Xu An washed his hands and feet with water from the well and dried them, he told Grandma Xu about this, and then Shi Shiran walked towards the second grandpa's house.

The child who just came to call me is Shitou, the grandson of the second grandfather’s family. He is now in the third grade of elementary school. Sometimes I mistake him for a junior high school student.

The house of the second grandfather's house is no different from that of other people in the village, no matter the house style or the floor area, they are exactly the same.

The only difference is that many flowers and plants were planted outside the courtyard wall of the second grandfather's house. Climbing vines and bougainvilleas covered the courtyard wall, adding a bit of vitality to the small courtyard.

Xu An walked to the gate of the courtyard, and lightly pushed the pull ring on the door: "Second Grandpa, I'm An Zi, Shitou said you need me?"

"Yes, just come in."

With the permission of the second grandfather, Xu An pushed open the courtyard door and walked into the courtyard. As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw dozens of people including Xu Guosheng, Xu Guoqiang, Fourth Uncle, and Aunt Hong.

"This is?" Xu An asked with some doubts.

"Have a small meeting, come here and sit down." Second Grandpa stretched out his hand and beckoned Xu An to sit beside him.

After Xu An sat next to Second Grandpa, looking at the elders around him, he couldn't help but sit up straight, with a serious expression on his face.

Seeing Xu An take his seat, Second Grandpa knocked on the hookah and put it aside.

"It's important to call everyone here today. This matter is related to the future development of Xujia Village." The second grandfather paused here, and only continued after everyone's eyes were on him. : "The town agreed to let Xujiacun submit a future development plan. If passed, it will be able to obtain talent support and low-interest loans from the city."

After hearing Second Grandpa's words, Xu An's eyes flashed with astonishment.

I have never heard of this matter in my previous life, nor have I heard it mentioned by anyone in the village.

But Xu An quickly realized that there was a high probability that this plan would fail, so the villagers never mentioned it.

In my previous life, I was just an ordinary high school graduate or prospective college student, and I could neither help nor give advice on the development of Xujia Village, so it was naturally impossible to participate in this kind of meeting.

But in this life, in just two months, I have done a good business, from a roadside stall at the beginning to three shops, and I have the qualifications to participate in the discussion on the future development of Xujia Village.

"After these days of research and observation, I have summed up three directions here, one is Xiudie's greenhouse planting, the second is Heping's parents' fish pond breeding, and the last is Xu Guoqiang's bamboo strip weaving."

"Greenhouse planting is not very good, the input cost is high, and we don't have many fields here, so we can't build many greenhouses and can't connect them together. The labor cost is too high." Xu Guosheng retorted first.

"Fish pond farming is not very good either. Heping's parents have been looking for a new partner for almost two months. There is no news yet. It is difficult to find a market for ordinary fish, and it is difficult to serve fish with high added value."

"Bamboo strip weaving is not good either. There is a village in Beitun Town where more than 300 families have made a living from it for generations. They can do any fancy style. We, the rough-handed and thick-footed, can at most weave a dustpan to hold things. .”

"."

Everyone chatted and discussed, and quickly rejected Second Grandpa's proposal.

At the end of the chat, everything came back to the original point, Xujiacun, what kind of industry should we develop?What characteristic industries can be developed?

While the others were getting more and more frustrated, Xu An's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Just now I was still worrying about how to mention the matter of tidal flat breeding to my second grandfather, isn't this a very good opportunity?
When I really dozed off, someone sent me a pillow, which is wonderful!
"Second Grandpa, do you know about Tiaotiaoyu?" Xu An didn't explain directly, but asked a pretext.

"Why don't you know, I caught a lot when I was young. It's a good game, but it's so small that it's hard to catch." The second grandfather smacked his mouth twice as he spoke, as if reminiscing the taste of jumping fish generally.

"Then Second Grandpa, have you ever heard of jumping fish farming?"

Can jumping fish be bred?
Everyone in the yard looked at Xu An, waiting for Xu An's explanation.
