Chapter 131 Crayfish Breeding

Shanqian Village, Zhao Wenmu's fish pond.

After leaving Jingyun Factory, Zhao Wenmu first went to his fish pond.

There is no other reason. The first batch of newly hatched crayfish (crayfish) is about to be released into the pond.

During this period of time, Zhao Wenjun took care of these crayfish as if they were his own children, wishing to set up a shed to live by the pond.

Crayfish is not a real crayfish. It has a longer reproductive cycle and fewer eggs at a time. It does have a lot of disadvantages compared to Procambarus clarkii.

(hereinafter collectively referred to as crayfish)

According to experts, crayfish mate around October of the previous year and lay eggs in the spring of the second year.

In May, the weather continues to get warmer and has risen to around 20 degrees.

This is the best temperature for crayfish to lay eggs and hatch.

The small purple granules adhering to the hair on the swimming limbs of the abdomen of the crayfish gradually mature.

According to Zhao Wenjun's statistics, a crayfish can lay about 100-300 eggs.According to Zhao Wenmu's knowledge, the single egg production of Procambarus clarkii is about twice this number.

Afterwards, the female crayfish will dig holes in the water-logged soil, and then stick its abdomen to the ground.

This keeps the roe moist for a long time.

It lasts for about 20 days before the crayfish will break out of the eggs, and then live attached to the mother for more than ten days.

Then as long as the outside temperature is suitable, they will crawl out of the cave to live on their own.

The 120 mu of water area contracted by Zhao Wenmu is especially suitable for raising crayfish and crabs.

Because it is not a real water surface, most places are actually swamps and tidal flats, which are the most suitable environments for crayfish, crabs, and shellfish to survive.

Only a small number of places with low terrain and abundant water are used to raise grass carp after further deepening and strengthening.

Other places are divided into small areas according to the living habits of crayfish and crabs for breeding them.

The Zhao family has no experience in aquaculture, especially the breeding of crayfish and crabs.

Fortunately, with the guidance of aquatic experts and some life experience of Wang Dazeng, it is just a little bit of exploration.

Anyway, Zhao Wenmu doesn't rely on farmed crayfish and crabs for a while.

Except for winter, wild crayfish and crabs are enough to meet the needs of the old Zhao's crayfish restaurant.

After all, it's just a restaurant.

If all the waters in Pingyang County can't meet its needs, it would be a joke!
"Little brother, look! How cute are these little shrimps!"

Zhao Wenjun carefully took out a female shrimp. Under her belly were densely packed light pink and purple-brown juvenile shrimp.

"Hey~~!"

Rong Xinyi screamed and ran away.

This scene is indeed not very friendly to intensive phobia.

To be honest, Zhao Wenmu didn't like this scene very much either.

But the second sister held up the crayfish as if offering a treasure, so he had no choice but to take it lightly.

Looking at the wriggling little creatures, Zhao Wenmu's scalp tingled a little.

Hundreds of crayfish huddled together, only a vague mass could be seen, as if there were all kinds of filaments, and then they kept wriggling.

That picture is really beautiful.

"Professor Kong said that they will lay eggs again around September."

Zhao Wenjun saw that the juvenile shrimp had grown big enough, so he grabbed the female shrimp and shook them gently, and collected all the juvenile shrimp in the bucket.

Then carefully put the female shrimp back in.

He also stroked its back lightly.

Juvenile shrimp that can survive independently need to be collected in time and placed in another pond.

In order to avoid too many juvenile shrimps in the breeding pond.

The successful breeding of juvenile shrimp means that the breeding of crayfish is more than half successful!

After all, they only caught adult crayfish to raise them, just for the needs of winter.

To put it bluntly, this kind of breeding in the past can be regarded as fattening at best.

The breeding of juvenile shrimps truly realizes the artificial breeding of crayfish!

This step is crucial.

"Second sister, your salary will be increased to 40 yuan a day in the future!"

"Don't refuse, you deserve it!"

Everyone deserves a reward, and their loved ones are no exception.

Zhao Wenjun nodded.

"Brother Zheng, my second sister is weak, so don't let her go into the water when it's cold."

Zhao Wenmu suddenly said to Zheng Guangming who was beside him.

"Brother Zheng, if you can't do this, don't do it in the future!"

Good people should be the end!

In the future, this will be Zheng Guangming's Shangfang sword to prevent Zhao Wenjun from entering the water.

"no problem!"

How many times Zheng Guangming tried to persuade Zhao Wenjun not to go into the water in the morning and evening, but she just didn't listen.

He decided that if she didn't obey next time, he would take her out.

Zhao Wenmu is also very strange, it has been more than half a year, and the two have not made any progress.

Now Liu Sufang is not satisfied with him!
What can I do, the emperor is not in a hurry, why are the eunuchs in a hurry?What's the hurry?
"Little brother, this is the breeding experience I summed up, take a look."

Zhao Wenjun wiped off the water on his body, and took out a thick stack of notes from the backpack hanging beside him.

Zhao Wenmu looked carefully.

Zhao Wenjun's notes are clear, sorting out the farming experience of crayfish, crab and grass carp according to the timeline.

There are a large number of problem records and corresponding solutions.

There are many more ambiguous experiences awaiting further verification.

"Second sister, this is a good thing! Once you sort it out, it will definitely be published in the future!"

This is the most original crayfish farming experience, not only can be published, but for future crayfish farming, it must be like the Bible and the Analects of Confucius!
The real patriarch of the school!
"Nonsense, as far as I record these things, who will be free to publish them?"

Zhao Wenjun didn't take his words seriously at all.

She herself is a village girl with a junior high school education, and she makes people laugh out loud about publishing a book.

"Second sister, I'm not joking!"

"In the future, there will be countless people raising crayfish in the whole county, the whole province, and even the whole country. At that time, your farming experience will be their guiding light! Do you think it's important?!"

Looking at the crab drawn by Zhao Wenjun himself in the notes, Zhao Wenmu wanted to laugh.

This one with big eyes and short legs looks like an eight-legged corgi.

His words caused an uproar in Zhao Wenjun and Zheng Guangming's hearts.

He said that many people across the country will raise crayfish in the future!If someone else said that, Zhao Wenjun might question, this thing is everywhere, why artificial breeding?

But she habitually believed what Zhao Wenmu said.

If this is the case, the experience she sums up does matter.

Because Professor Kong also said that there is no precedent for artificially raising crayfish in the whole country.

It is precisely because she is the first person to eat crabs that it is so difficult.

Many small problems, if you don’t know, you don’t know, and if you don’t know, it will lead to the death of crayfish and crabs in pieces.

For example, the density of female crayfish she placed was too high at the beginning, which caused them to fight each other and die a lot.

If the produced crayfish are not collected in time, they may be eaten by other female crayfish.

What density is most suitable?
When is the best time to collect juvenile shrimp?
What kind of feed can't be eaten by crayfish?

How to disinfect the water body?

What is the most suitable ratio of water surface and mud floor area in the farm?

When she started raising these gadgets, she realized that there were endless problems.Even now, she dare not say that she has solved one-tenth of the problems!
Because as long as there is farming, new problems will continue to emerge.

Indeed, Zhao Wenjun's set of "Crayfish and Crab Breeding Practice" lasted for ten years and published a total of 12 volumes.

Really a big encyclopedia!

With a junior high school education, he became a distinguished professor of a famous Chinese university and a winner of the National Science and Technology Progress Award. Zhao Wenjun is worthy of being the No. 1 in Chinese aquaculture!
Of course, that's another story.

Right now, as a young girl, her heart is surging just because of a few words from her younger brother.

Publish a book!It seems that there is really nothing impossible.

From this day on, she worked harder to learn Chinese in the night school, and her notes were more serious and neat.

Zheng Guangming felt even more stressed.

The person he likes is getting better and better, and he is running hard on the road of career, and he doesn't seem to start a relationship again at all.

Just a little anxious.

So after a few days, he quietly appeared at Zhao Wenmu's house.

"Amu, I want to marry Wenjun's sister!"

Hey, it's really rare for Zheng Guangming to express his intentions so straightforwardly.

"Brother Zheng, if you want to marry my second sister, you should tell my second sister. No matter how bad it is, you should tell my parents. What's the use of telling me?"

Zhao Wenmu teased.

"Sister Wenjun is unwilling, I have no choice but to come to you."

Zheng Guangming said with some embarrassment.

"Oh? Why is my second sister unwilling? You were rejected when you confessed to her?"

"No, no! It's just that she is avoiding me."

Zheng Guangming is also a boring gourd, he doesn't know how to tease girls.

Every time I mustered up the courage to approach Zhao Wenjun, but the other party avoided him.

"Brother Zheng, you haven't confessed your love, how do you know that my second sister is not happy?"

"I'm afraid that if I say it, she will never see me again."

Zheng Guangming's appearance of worrying about gains and losses makes people have to sigh, a hero is sad when a beauty passes.

A battle hero like Zheng Guangming is just a young boy in front of Zhao Wenjun.

"Brother Zheng, if you marry my second sister, can you promise to treat her well? Can you guarantee that she won't be bullied by your family? Can you guarantee that she won't be bullied by others? Can you make her live a good life?"

Zhao Wenmu stood up and looked straight at Zheng Guangming with a serious and serious expression.

This time, he wasn't joking.

Even Zhao Jing and Rong Xinyi, who were eavesdropping outside, became nervous.

"Amu, if I marry Wen Jun, I promise to treat her well for the rest of my life! I promise I won't let her be bullied by anyone, including my family!"

"I don't know what kind of day is a good day, but I promise to make her happy every day and not worry about all kinds of trivial things!"

"As long as I live, this oath will never fail!"

Zheng Guangming's words, word by word, are decisive.

The little girl Rong Xinyi, who was eavesdropping outside, gave a thumbs up with reverence on her face.

Sure enough, the third brother is surrounded by good men!
