In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Chapter 669: Catching Big Yellow Croaker Alive

Rongcheng Courtyard.

A leader looked at the newspaper and couldn't help asking: "Recently, the Sansha Canning Factory and the Ludao Canning Factory have been quite active, but what's going on with our Rongcheng Canning Factory? How come it has gone directly into deficit?"

Huang Qingfeng frowned and said, "I thought you knew about this, so I didn't say anything more."

"There are so many companies now, how could every one of them know? If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that this clove fish was invented by Li Duoyu."

Huang Qingfeng said: "Someone did something behind the scenes, which caused some problems at the Rongcheng Aquatic Products Processing Plant."

Huang Qingfeng frowned slightly. What he feared most was getting such an ambiguous answer, which meant that he had to deal with the matter himself and the responsibility lay on him.

This is definitely an offensive job, but it doesn't matter. At least he still has principles.

Don't blame the person, but the matter. As long as the final result is good for the organization, then it is truly good.

Guanjingyang, since the implementation of the fishing ban, the number of yellow croaker has really increased, but it has also triggered a series of conflicts among the people.

The price of yellow croaker is really too high. Only a few years ago, to eat a kilogram-class yellow croaker in a restaurant in Rongcheng now costs at least a big unity.

In eastern Fujian, it is the main production area of ​​yellow croaker. If you don't have a yellow croaker when friends and relatives come to your house, you will feel ashamed and embarrassed to entertain them.

People are like this. In the past, they could eat them casually and felt it was very common. Many fishermen even used them to make fertilizer.

But once it's gone, I miss it so much. No one wanted it even if I gave it away for free before, but now I have to pay a huge price to buy it.

Nowadays, the biggest dream of fishermen is to go out to sea and catch a large yellow croaker.

With the current market price, you can really make a fortune just by fishing. Maybe you won’t have to work for a whole year.

End of June.

It is time for the big yellow croaker to return to Guanjingyang to spawn, although we can no longer hear the dense gurgling sounds.

But the fishermen are well aware that there are a lot of yellow croakers in their sea area.

Some villagers have already caught large yellow croakers in slightly remote waters, and there must be quite a few of them here as breeding grounds.

A fishing village near Guanjingyang.

Some young fishermen gathered together to discuss things. The ground was covered with wine bottles and a lot of cigarette holders.

A drunk young man cursed: "Fuck him, this is our own territory, but they don't allow us to catch fish, and they can. They are forcing us to rebel."

Someone joked: "If you give up what happened more than ten years ago, I will definitely take you for a walk on the street."

"If we really want to do it, we can put a broken net under their propellers at night so that their boats can't get out."

"That's a good idea. If we add two iron rods on top, the propeller might just break into pieces."

After hearing this, several young men looked at each other, and one of them simply said, "Since it has come to this, let's just blow up the fish. I have detonators and explosives at home. After we blow up the fish, we can catch them and run away. Anyway, they can't catch us. When the time comes, we can take them to Ludao and sell them."

"Then I have to quickly find some ice, otherwise it will be broken by the time I get to Lu Island."

This group of people have a very clear division of labor, and they are the type to get to work as soon as they say they will.

They have had a long-standing grudge against the local fur seals and the researcher who was doing research on yellow croaker, and no one knew how many times the two sides had clashed.

But for the fishermen, it is really hard to understand. The opportunity to make money is right in front of them, but they cannot make it, which makes them very uncomfortable.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

After a few muffled sounds that night, the comrades on duty at the yellow croaker breeding base knew that something bad had happened.

I wanted to start the boat immediately to notify the nearby coast guard, but when I cranked the engine, I found that the propellers were all stuck in the broken fishing net.

When he heard the sound of metal collision, he knew something bad had happened and guessed that the propeller was broken.

When someone opened this loophole, the local fishermen saw that some people were making a lot of money by catching yellow croaker, and they couldn't help themselves.

The main point was that if I didn't make money since everyone else was making it, wouldn't I be an idiot? In an instant, the whole village ignored the document that prohibited the fishing of yellow croaker during the breeding period.

Every night, there were fishing boats secretly casting their nets, and in just one week, the coastal defense side caught nearly five or six boats.

But it still failed to curb the fierce folk customs, and Liu Jiafu was quite helpless and had to follow his plan.

This summer, he wants to catch more female yellow croakers to improve the artificial breeding technology of yellow croakers.

However, due to the disturbance caused by these fishermen, not only were the fishing boats damaged, but it also became difficult to catch the yellow croaker in the entire Guanjingyang.

He used the money that Director Li invested in him to upgrade the equipment and base, but he didn't expect that now even the ship has been damaged.

Yellow croaker has the habit of migratory migration. If their research base fails to catch enough mother yellow croakers during this period of time, all their efforts this year will probably be in vain.

Thinking of this, Liu Jiafu could no longer sit still and no longer cared about his face. Without a fishing boat, he got on the bus to Rongcheng.

Although Guanjingyang is very close to Qixing Bay, without a boat, he has to go around two mountains. It took him two full days to reach the Qixing Bay breeding base of Minlong Company.

When Li Duoyu saw this middle-aged man who looked dusty and haggard, he quickly asked the chef in the cafeteria to prepare a special meal for him.

After seeing how good the food was in the cafeteria of Minlong Company, Liu Jiafu's eyes turned slightly red, and he finally told Li Duoyu everything that had happened during this period.

Li Duoyu had anticipated the situation Liu Jiafu described. In his previous life, people had stolen fish even during the fishing ban period, let alone this kind of big yellow croaker.

If the regulations were effective, so many wild animals in the country would not have become endangered.

After listening to this, Li Duoyu thought about it for a while and felt that the current high-pressure method was indeed ineffective.

Unless we catch a few of them, they are also trying to make money and live, and the Animal Protection Law has only just been proposed.

It is simply impossible to be arrested and sentenced to ten years in prison for taking bird eggs. To put it bluntly, even if the fishermen are arrested now, it is not known what charges they should be sentenced under.

At present, there is really no best of both worlds solution to this problem, but Li Duoyu did think of one.

There are mostly scientific researchers at the Yellow Croaker Research Base, and their fishing skills are definitely not as good as those of the fishermen.

If the researchers did not catch the fish, but bought them directly from the fishermen, and then allocated a few quotas for catching large yellow croaker to each village, the conflict would be diverted to the internal conflicts of the village, and the fierce local customs would probably be curbed.

Li Duoyu learned this trick from some real estate bosses in his previous life. When his son bought the house, many quality problems occurred after it was delivered.

So, a group of people started to take the lead in organizing rights protection. The real estate boss was very calm. After the matter was almost over, he promised some benefits to the leaders and immediately stopped the movement.

The person who took the lead got the benefits, the real estate developer only had to pay a small amount of compensation, and in the end, the only ones who got hurt were the property owners themselves.

"Ugh!"

Li Duoyu never expected that he would use the same method that the real estate owner used to deal with them.

It is also very simple to deal with these fishing villages, as long as you promise some benefits to the local village committees and ruffians.

They will be willing to be the younger brothers. After all, it is hard to find a village director like Li Duoyu who only works for the welfare of the villagers.

After Li Duoyu drove the boat and took Liu Jiafu to the yellow croaker breeding base, he found that the changes were not particularly big.

The only change is that Master Liu and his team's research facilities have become better, but the stains on the walls are still full of smell even after cleaning. It seems that the conflict with the local fishermen is still very big.

After Li Duoyu briefly visited the breeding base, he said, "Director Liu, are you familiar with the local town committee? I plan to meet with them in my capacity as the general manager of Minlong Company."

"Very familiar."

"That'll be easy."

There is still great development prospect in the field of yellow croaker farming. Li Duoyu also farms kelp, eel and prawn.
But I have never raised marine fish. At most, I caught them from the sea and raised them temporarily.

I remember that around the 1990s, the price of wild yellow croaker would exceed 100 yuan, if you plan ahead now.

If yellow croaker farming had been started a few years earlier, it would have been really profitable.

On that day, Li Duoyu met with the local town committee leaders. When they learned that the guest was him, they were very enthusiastic.

After hearing that Li Duoyu was planning to invest in a yellow croaker breeding base here, he immediately patted his chest and promised: "From now on, Mr. Li's affairs are the affairs of our town committee."

The next day, the town committee arranged a meeting between several village committee members and Li Duoyu and Liu Jiafu.

Finally, more than 20 quotas for catching yellow croaker were given, and the caught yellow croaker could not be sold to others but would be purchased by the Minlong Company. Also, the yellow croaker should be caught alive as much as possible.

Although yellow croakers usually die immediately after being taken out of water, that usually only happens when they are in deep water.

The waters of Guanjingyang are not particularly deep, and during the breeding season, yellow croakers will swim to shallow waters.

As long as the fishing method is correct, the probability of catching wild and fresh yellow croaker here is much higher.

Speaking of which, Li Duoyu really didn't know how to catch wild fresh yellow croaker, although he had caught it before.

But it still follows that law: once out of the water, the fish will die. Out of curiosity, Li Duoyu actually joined them in a yellow croaker fishing activity.

But I didn’t expect that the method of catching fresh yellow croaker is not particularly difficult. After reading it, Li Duoyu was stunned for a long time.

Director Liu and his colleagues said that as long as the yellow croaker is not caught by trawl nets, it usually does not die immediately after being taken out of the water.

Under normal circumstances, it will live for a while, but if it is not quickly taken back to the deep sea, it will eventually die due to the pressure of the fish itself.

Although you can poke it with a needle like you do with grouper, once the swim bladder is punctured, the life of the yellow croaker will enter a countdown, and there is no point in catching it.

Therefore, after Director Liu and his colleagues catch live yellow croakers, they will immediately put them into deep water cages for temporary breeding.

This can prevent the yellow croaker from exploding and dying due to pressure difference.

This method is a bit rough and cumbersome, but it is indeed effective. Finally, through the adjustment of the deep-sea cages, the yellow croaker gradually adapted to the pressure of shallow water.

This method seems simple, but it took Director Liu's team a long time to figure it out.

Director Liu also gave Li Duoyu some scientific knowledge, such as the pressure of about ten meters, which is almost one atmosphere of pressure.

There are two in twenty meters.

Although the sea here is relatively shallow, it is still about twenty meters on average. The yellow croaker was caught from a depth of twenty meters.

The pressure inside the body and outside world changed dramatically. It felt like a person was thrown to an altitude of more than 20,000 meters at a very fast speed without protection.
When talking about the field he is good at, Director Liu keeps giving popular science lectures.

Li Duoyu frowned and looked at these big yellow croakers. At this moment, he felt that they were quite powerful.

Fortunately, the second generation of yellow croakers bred by Director Liu do not have to worry about this pressure, because they are forced to live in shallow water cages and breeding ponds, which are at most five meters deep.

They live a life where food is always available and they don’t need to go to the deep sea to find food. After coming out of the water, they can still jump around naturally.

This is also the fundamental reason why farmed yellow croaker can be served on the table alive.

Under Li Duoyu's coordination, the local fishing villages' frenzied fishing for yellow croaker came to an abrupt halt, and the issue of collective interests became the interests of a small group of people.

With his help, Director Liu caught and purchased a lot of yellow croaker mothers this time.

If all goes well, a lot of yellow croaker fry will be available in the second half of this year.

After this series of events, Li Duoyu increased his investment in yellow croaker and signed an investment agreement directly with the local government in the name of Minlong Company.

In the next five years, Minlong Company will invest in a large yellow croaker breeding base of no less than 2,000 acres in Guanjingyang.

The local government was also very considerate. The young fishermen who used explosives to blow up fish and deliberately damaged fishing boats in the aquaculture base were directly taken as examples and sent to the detention center.

In order to cultivate yellow croaker, Li Duoyu stayed with Guan Jingyang for almost a month.

Early August.

The scorching summer weather made fishermen afraid to go out to sea to fish during the day. They all stayed at home to cool off. A few little kids put their feet in the well water.

When people found out, they chased him all the way with bamboo whips, but Li Duoyu returned to Dandan Island with a box of yellow croakers.

These yellow croakers are all eliminated due to "pressure", so they can only be served on the dining table. (End of this chapter)
