Chapter 3 Busy Morning

After failing to raise fish twice in a row, Dad Chen was very disappointed in Chen Mo.

Probably because of this, Father Chen hasn't been to the orchard for a long time.Chen Mo felt shameless and rarely went home...

And every time they met, Father Chen would not give Chen Mo a good look.

The phone rang for a while, and Dad Chen answered.

"Dad." Chen Mo shouted.

"Your dad is feeding the chickens, what's the matter?" Chen Ma said.

"The fish in the pond are going to be sold. If you have time, come and take a look." Chen Mo said.

"Let me tell your dad, when will the fish be sold?"

"Contact the fishmonger later and sell the fish." Chen Mo said.

"Okay, let me tell your father, have you eaten yet?"

"I just cooked the rice, let's eat it later."

After chatting for a while, there was nothing to do, so Mama Chen hung up the phone.

Chen Mo continued to salvage duckweed, and soon loaded another cart, sent it to the fish pond, and poured it into the water.

Duckweed fish farming belongs to traditional fish farming, but this kind of farming method is now rare.

Duckweed is rich in nutrients, and it is used to feed grass carp to grow fast, gain weight quickly, and have good meat quality.

Moreover, duckweed reproduces quickly. Under normal circumstances, each mu of duckweed can reproduce [-] to [-] kilograms per day.These are the data found on the Internet...

The water inside the duckweed pond is less than one meter deep. Duckweed reproduces quickly, especially in summer. There are two duckweed ponds and three reservoirs, which add up to about 2.3 acres. There are also several reservoir ditches, which are full of water. Raising duckweed.

In summer, when the temperature is high, three to four thousand kilograms of duckweed can be fished out every day.

These duckweeds carry water, but they are three to four thousand catties, which is also very scary, and the high-yield ones are a bit scary.

Chen Mo went to catch another cart of duckweed, and dumped the duckweed into the 1.7-acre fish pond below the big pond, where the grass carp were also vying for the duckweed.

Back at Wafang, the duckweed in the big pond was almost eaten up.

Chen Mo connected the water pipe, turned on the faucet, rinsed the water pants, went back to the kitchen and turned on the rice cooker. The rice in it was already cooked, and so was the bacon.

Take out the bacon and cut it into thin slices. This is fat and thin pork belly.

The meat bought in the market and the bacon made from it are not as delicious as the pigs I raised in the past.But it's okay...

While eating, Chen Mo clicked on his phone and opened WeChat.

There is a fish farming group in WeChat, which was added at the fish fry farm when I bought fry the year before last.

There are 87 people in the group, including fish farmers and fishmongers.

The grass carp in Chen Mo Fish Pond could be sold at the end of last year. At that time, the grass carp was eight or nine pounds, and the larger ones were almost ten pounds.

Logically speaking, the price of large grass carp before Chinese New Year is high.But at the end of last year, that is, the year before... three to four kilograms of grass carp were purchased for 3.7 yuan per kilogram.The purchase price for five to eight pounds is 1 yuan.For items weighing more than eight pounds, the purchase price is only 4.5 yuan.

If you buy a large fry of grass carp weighing more than eight pounds, it will take more than a year to raise it. The price of 5.5 yuan is too low.

There are very few people here in Donglin who specifically raise grass carp, and they basically raise them in a mixed manner. Grass carp weighing more than 8 pounds is usually found in large ponds or reservoirs, and the price is relatively expensive.

At the vegetable market here in Qingshan Town, a small grass carp of three to four pounds can be sold for about ten yuan.The bigger ones cost more than ten yuan.

Recently, the group was discussing the price increase of grass carp, and Chen Mo also thought about selling grass carp now.Sell ​​it now and buy some big grass carp seedlings to raise another batch.

"Big grass carp for sale, with an average weight of 11-14 catties. Raised purely on grass, without any feed." Chen Mo edited the text message and sent it out.

"How big is the fish pond?" Li Ming (Gao Qiqiang).

"2.7 acres, 1.7 acres." Mozi (fish farmer).

"About how many?" Li Ming asked.

"I estimate it should be 4 kilograms." Chen Mo replied.

"Are you sure it weighs at least 11 pounds?"

"determine."

"Purely grass-fed, no feed?" Wang Yuan (fat sausage fish).

"In the past year, if I have fed feed, there will be thunder and lightning." Chen Mo.

Wang Yuan sent a smile: "Where is the location? I'll go over and have a look."

"Give me a seat too." Li Ming.

"I want a seat too." Zhou Kang (Boss Gao).

"4 catties of grass carp is worth a lot of money." Sister Lin (the mother-in-law of the fish farmer).

"4.4 acres, 4 catties of grass carp? How do you raise it with this density? How deep is the water in the fish pond?" Li Fu (fish breeder).

People in the group have a () at the end, indicating their occupation.

Gao Qiqiang means fish harvester.There are also fish fry farms and fish farmers.

Chen Mo then contacted the fish fry farm alone: ​​"Are there any grass carp fry, big ones?"

"The one-year-old seedlings all weigh more than two kilograms." Boss Guo immediately responded to the message.

“How much does a pound of fish fry cost now?”

"6.5 yuan. How much do you want?"

"3500 pieces. I want the goods in ten days." Chen Mo said.

"Call me two days before you want the goods." Boss Guo followed with a smiling face.

Chen Mo then contacted Li Ming, Wang Yuan and Zhou Kang individually.

The same is grass carp, the weight is similar, and the price will have a relatively large difference.

Chen Mo's two fish ponds, the smaller one is 1.7 acres, this one is in the east, and it is a big pond when it comes out of the reservoir.

The price of fish in Datang is usually higher.

Putting away the phone, Chen Mo went to turn on the water dispenser, and the water boiled after eating.

Chen Mo took out the scented tea and made a cup.

The aroma of jasmine and tea are blended together, and there is an obvious aroma of jasmine after brewing.

The tea soup is bright yellow and clear, take a sip, the hot tea soup has a special taste.

Chen Mo took out his mobile phone, clicked on Douyin, and the watch list was full of pretty ladies.

Men, men without a family, their main hobby is probably money, women.What Chen Mo likes is money, followed by beautiful girls on Douyin, and then fishing.

Fishing and beautiful girls... Well, they are evenly matched.

As a single fisherman with no one to care about, Chen Mo bought more than a dozen fishing rods in just over a year.

After returning from Shenzhen, Chen Mo fell into the trap when he found out about fishing on Douyin.

The time to enter the pit is not too long, and only started fishing in October of the year before last year.Falling in love with fishing made Chen Mo, whose life was already very difficult, almost quit smoking.

Just last summer, when Chen Mo was the poorest, he had no money to buy cigarettes. Fortunately, there were mushrooms in the mountains here, so he went out to pick them up and made some money.

Chen Mo tapped on Erlang's leg, looked at the beauty on Douyin, drank a cup of tea, and then filled the tea cup with boiling water. Then he put away his phone and went outside, and rode to a flat land.

This is a navel orange orchard, the land is flat and the grass is perennial rye.

The gap between the fruit trees is relatively large, and the ryegrass grows vigorously.A self-propelled forage harvester was parked on the side of the road. Chen Mo went over to start the machine, controlled the harvester to enter the orchard, and pressed the switch of the harvester blade... The lush ryegrass was neatly cut down, along the right side Neatly stacked.

There is a pasture harvester, which can harvest pasture quickly, but when it comes to clearing up the pasture, it takes a lot of effort.
