In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Chapter 57 Viewing the Raft of Kelp Farming

After hearing Li Duoyu's words.

Chen Huiying put down her shoulder pole.

The little yellow dog who had just been beaten once got into the chicken coop in fright when he saw someone was going to beat him again.

result,

Scared the laying hen out.

Seeing that the hen was scared out, Chen Huiying scolded again: "You are a showy dog."

Li Duoyu saw this.

Quickly took out the little yellow dog, took out a discarded belt, made a dog collar for it, and tied it in the corner of the chicken pen to prevent it from running around.

Chen Huiying was still a little angry: "It's fine, what are you doing with a dog in the chicken coop? What if you eat the chicken?"

"Aniang, this puppy won't bite. Its front feet are broken. It's good that it hasn't been bullied by those big roosters. It still wants to eat chicken."

"Then you can't keep it in it. When the hen is laying eggs, it is frightened, and it may not lay eggs in the future."

Li Duoyu quickly explained:

"I'll just lock it up overnight, and I'll get a dog cage tomorrow, and when its legs recover, I'll put it on the fishing raft."

"You want to raise it on a fishing raft?"

Li Duoyu nodded: "I raised it just to watch kelp farming."

After hearing that the dog picked up by the fourth child was for watching kelp farming, Chen Huiying immediately liked the dog a lot, but she still babbled:

"Then you have to get rid of it quickly, and you can't keep it in the chicken coop."

"Understood, mother, I will make a kennel for it tomorrow."

Li Duoyu almost forgot.

Raising chickens and ducks is very important to my mother.

When they were young, their family hadn't been assigned to the sea oyster field. If they wanted to eat a bite of white rice, they relied on the chickens and eggs in the chicken coop.

Whenever the hen lays eggs, everyone is reluctant to eat them, and A Niang will collect the eggs, and on the day of the market, she will take the eggs to the commune to exchange food and oil tickets with others.

After seeing the puppy tied up in the corner, Chen Huiying went to the kitchen to prepare dinner in peace. After she glanced at the fourth child, she asked:

"What would you like to eat tonight?"

The moment I heard this.

Li Duoyu was stunned for a while.

When I was young in my previous life,

He is most afraid of being asked what he wants to eat, because he always finds it troublesome to answer.

But when he gets old.

What scares him the most is that no one asks him what he wants to eat, and he can only eat there alone.

Facing A Niang's question.

Li Duoyu didn't answer perfunctorily like "anything" or "anything", but said with a smile:

"How about fried mustard greens, fried eggs, fried sea oysters with green garlic, fried one with cauliflower, and finally a sea fish to make a soup."

Seeing that Li Duoyu ordered so many dishes in one go, Chen Huiying said with a bit of disgust:
"Our vegetable garden is only that big, how can there be so many vegetables for you to eat."

Li Duoyu smiled and said:
"Then eat whatever you have."

Li Duoyu took a look. The small vegetable garden behind his chicken coop was indeed a bit small. Back then, Auntie used most of the vegetable garden for chicken pens and pig pens.

There isn't much room left in the vegetable patch.

I just planted some green garlic for seasoning and mustard greens for pickles.

There are no other vegetables.

But Uncle Hu's family didn't raise chickens or ducks, so the vegetable plot was much larger, but he lived and ate alone, and couldn't grow a few things.

Most of them are left there.

Li Duoyu was thinking, anyway, Uncle Hu would move to Rongcheng sooner or later, or he might as well take down his family's vegetable land.

This way you can add a variety of other vegetables.

Li Duoyu looked at his watch.

03:30 in the afternoon.

It was more than an hour before Zhou Xiaoying got out of class, and two and a half hours before dinner time.

Li Duoyu plans to go to the kelp breeding raft first to see the latest situation of kelp seedlings.

Kelp seedlings are not thrown into the sea.

Just forget about it.

On the contrary, management is much more troublesome than those fruits and vegetables, and it needs to be checked at least two or three times a week.

The most basic thing is to check the raft frame and wooden piles to see if there are any piles pulled out and whether the kelp rope is coiled or entangled.

Then, you have to check the growth of the kelp seedlings to see if they are eaten by insects or if they get sick.

After coming to the kelp farming raft.

Li Duoyu stretched his hand into the sea water, and first tested the water temperature. It was a bit icy cold, and he felt that the temperature of the sea water was only in single digits.

This kind of water temperature is very suitable for the growth of kelp. Then, he pulled up a kelp rope and observed it carefully.

It mainly depends on the kelp seedlings, whether there are curls on both sides, whether there are white spots and rotten leaves.

Fortunately, the kelp seedlings are very healthy.

The batch of kelp seedlings that went to sea first are now more than 20 centimeters long.

If you keep going.

In another three months, it will grow to one meter long, and in four months, it may be ready to be harvested.

Li Duoyu randomly picked a kelp rope every ten meters to check it.

If you find that the kelp seedlings are too dense, pick some kelp seedlings.

For the current Li Duoyu.

What is needed is not the output,
But seek stability, seek success,

Only by raising these kelp well can his mariculture plan continue to move forward.

In the beginning, Li Duoyu didn't choose to raise kelp without thinking.

If correct.

In a few years, a large number of TV dramas from Hong Kong Island will flood into China.

At that time, the first wave of rich "classes" will be the first to suffer culture shock, especially in the area of ​​food.

What, "Lo Mein with Fish Maw in Chicken Sauce"

“Shark fin rice”

“Abalone with Rice”

These ingredients that frequently appear in Hong Kong TV dramas and movies will become luxury ingredients in the minds of Chinese people for a long time to come.

Fresh kelp is the main food for abalone. After the kelp farming has reached a large scale, he will save a lot of trouble if he raises abalone again.

However, abalone is one of the most difficult seafood to raise.

Not only is it very picky about the environment.

The character is also very squeamish.

I often die for you if I disagree with you.

Back then, when the abalone market was booming, many people in Dandan Island raised abalones.

Those farmers who make money by raising abalone,
Say it's rich Bao.

But those farmers who are in debt because of raising abalone call it bankrupt every day.

The reason is that the breeding cycle of abalone is very long, and it takes two or three years to get a good price.

But in two or three years, there are too many variables, and it almost depends on God's reward for food.

If God alone is in a bad mood.

If a tropical typhoon comes, the abalone farmers will probably lose all their underpants.

However, even if Li Duoyu wants to raise abalone at this stage, he probably won't be able to raise it.

The reason is that there are no seedlings.

Their local wild abalone is variegated abalone, which is very small and not very tasty.

Most of the abalones that people eat in later generations are new varieties bred by using the plate-patterned abalone in the north and the variegated abalone in their side.

To be honest, Li Duoyu knows a little about this kind of breeding work, but only a little. To really cultivate new species, it depends on the fisheries research institutes in various places.

Even if Li Duoyu has a whole set of abalone farming technology, it is useless.

It seems that Li Duoyu is very good at driving.

But there is no decent road on Dandan Island, if the speed is too fast, it may be overturned one day.

Li Duoyu planned to encourage his uncle Chen Dongqing to find a way to breed some abalone fry suitable for growing in the southern sea after the kelp breeding was successful.

However, that's all for the future.

You can't become fat if you eat in one go.

You have to do things step by step. At this stage, let's concentrate on raising kelp.
