Salted Fish Dad, Passive Farming

Chapter 212 The aloe vera mask is about to be launched, and the swallows come to build nests.

The live broadcast has ended and the event is still going on.

After cleaning up the mess on the dam, Tong Yuanyuan, the second oldest child, took Douhua back home, while Meng Kai and his family also brought a trunk full of fish screws and river mussels back to the county town.

All the fans and staff returned to the town. After taking a shower, they opened three luxury rooms at the most upscale KTV in the town, where they had all-you-can-drink karaoke.

When it comes to karaoke drinking, it's tacky, but it's really atmospheric, and it's easy for everyone to mingle.

Playing until ten o'clock, those who want to continue playing, those who are sleepy and drunk go to the hotel to rest, while the others are waiting to follow Ji Ran's brother and sister to Lingshan Reservoir again.

Night covered the land.

The crescent moon is high and the stars are hanging high.

A group of people put on water pants, turned on headlights, carried buckets, and touched the reservoir.

What are you doing in the middle of the night?
The main thing, of course, is to catch turtles.

Soon someone got something, but it wasn't bastard, it was other fish.

During the day, some fish are frightened and out of self-preservation instinct, they will get into the mud or hide in the footholes.

Then they need to come out to breathe, and once they come out they feel safe outside...

People continue to pick up fish that slipped through the net, such as yellow pepper, carp, and crucian carp.

A group of people picked up fish and looked for traces of turtles.

It didn't take long for Ji Ran to find a line of small footprints on the mud.

Follow the footprints all the way to find the hard mud near the embankment of the reservoir, and found a flat hole the size of a washbasin under a large rotten log.

"Haha, this hole is so big, I'm afraid it's not just one, but a nest!"

"If it's not a nest, it's just an old turtle. Maybe it's the one that teased Master Meng and ran away during the day."

Everyone surrounded the cave, laughing and discussing.

A fan leaned down and shined a light inside, but it turned out that there really was a bunch of bastards inside.

The largest one weighed several kilograms, two weighed one or two kilograms, and there were several others as big as fists.

Ji Ran went ashore and brought a hoe, dug it open, and caught turtles in the hole.

A few small ones were thrown into the pond next to Youranju, and the catty ones were collected.

Everyone then looked for the turtle.

One after another, there were gains again.

After two laps in the reservoir, I caught more than a dozen bastards, and three or four buckets of other fish.

The little turtle also found a dozen of them and threw them all into the pond.

This is a good thing, keep it.

With a full harvest, everyone returned to the town.

All the turtles were brought over, including the remaining ones from the morning, there were more than 20 of them.

Ji Ran told Ji Ling that after the event, the fans would give away a soft-shelled turtle in addition to the god bait package.

Fans said: Big Brother Cumin is so proud!How atmospheric!I just don't know if the bastard can take the high-speed rail.If not, you can only go by courier.

Speaking of which, wild tortoises are a rare thing, even for anglers who go fishing very frequently.

……

That night, with the popularity of the 'Cumin' live broadcast of fish catching in the reservoir, there were two small jokes on the Internet that became popular.

One is that President Wang was hit by a huge object and sat down in the mud.

One is teasing Meng to catch the old turtle and show it off to the camera to the water friends. As a result, he was almost bitten and the turtle took the opportunity to escape.

These two very interesting short clips, especially the expressions of the two of them at that moment when the accident happened, are very funny.

Some netizens made their expressions into emoticons.

The emoji went viral.

In this regard, Doubi Meng, whose face is comparable to Zijin City, thinks it is very good.

The short jokes have become popular and the emoticons have become popular, isn’t he also popular?

It's a good thing to be popular. How many Internet celebrity anchors play ugly shows to get popular, but they are still not popular.

He didn't do anything, and he didn't lose his character, so he wouldn't be criticized... Hehe, it didn't take much effort.

It's hot.

Meng Kai took the opportunity to advertise his 'Master Meng Fishing Tackle', and the effect was immediate. The mini program gained more attention, got more orders, and the sales that were diverted by the 'fisherman' came back.

Doubi Meng said it was very popular, it smelled so good.

Where is Wang Haiqiang...

Although his face is not thin, it is still far behind Meng Kai.

Besides, he is the head of a majestic school, the speaker of Qingshui Town Quanquan Elementary School, who is famous all over the Internet as a super genius...

Principal Wang said that he was ashamed to go out to meet people.

I swore once again in my heart that I would never go to Ji Ran's Lingshan Reservoir, even if I kidnapped him.

……

the next day.

The theme of the event is fishing, and now is the golden season for crucian carp fishing in spring...

Ji Ran didn't participate anymore.

He has a lot of things to do, and he really doesn't have time.

morning.

Ji Ran went to take a look at the newly dug pond nearby.

The water was turbid, but I could barely see clearly what was going on in the pond.

I saw giant grasses one after another at the bottom of the water, Ji Ran counted them yesterday, there were dozens of them!
Jiran didn't plan to keep these fish, they were all so big, it wouldn't make much sense to keep them any longer.

Ji Ran will deal with them one by one.

There are also hundreds of grass carp ranging from a few catties to more than ten catties. Of course, these fish will not be raised again, so let's stay in the pond and eat slowly.

Standing on the bank of the pond, Ji Ran glanced around. The little turtle grandson caught from the reservoir last night was gone, and he didn't know where he hid.

The bank of the pond is very steep, and the water surface is one meter high from the shore, so Ji Ran is not worried about them slipping away.

Tong Yuanyuan and Douhua came back with Liang Feizi, and Wangzai and Yuanyuan Gungun returned home at midnight last night.

Made a delicious grass carp fish head powder.

The three of Ji Ran and San Gouzi ate noodles, and the two Feizi ate raw fish.

The Diaozi couple came here after smelling the fragrance.

Ji Ran originally wanted them to appear on camera yesterday, but after much thought, he finally gave up the idea.

Just raise them if they are national first-level animals, and there is no abuse, right?
Following him, the sand sculptures are nourishing.

Tong Yuanyuan took a sip of the delicious fish soup and said, "Husband, the company will move a group of employees to the town within this week, and the mask production line will be opened first."

"Well, I'll try my best to arrange aloe vera." Ji Ran said with a smile as he poured a chopstick of powder.

The first batch of second-generation aloe vera in the enclosure has grown to a small half-length, and it is still too early to mature, so we have to use the aloe in the 'Pure Land'.

The leaves of aloe vera are like the tail of a gecko or the feet of a crab. After being broken off, they can be revived.

The aloe vera leaves that were broken off before have all grown back to their original shape.

Ji Ran wasn't worried that the aloe generation would run out.

"Well, I'll come back to get aloe vera in the next few days."

"Call me if you need it, and I'll send it to you."

"it is good."

After soliciting fish head noodles, Tong Yuanyuan went to the county.

morning.

Ji Ran asked someone to bring over half a truckload of quicklime, and evenly sprinkled it on every corner of the reservoir except the tail.

Quicklime has the best effect in the disinfection of aquaculture ponds.

It can not only disinfect, but also kill parasites and germs. It can also improve the air permeability of the soil, adjust the PH value, enhance the buffer capacity of the water body, and promote the growth of plankton.

Thereby improving breeding efficiency.

However, when quicklime kills viruses, it will also kill the remaining fish in the reservoir.

No, after the quicklime was sprinkled, Ji Ran picked up a few buckets of fish.

Jiran stopped eating these poisoned fish and buried them all.

As for after disinfection...

Everything comes naturally.

Especially the problem of filling the reservoir with water.

Instead, water can be pumped in from the Qingjiang River.

Ji Ran finds it bothersome, among all things, fish farming in the reservoir is the part he cares the least about.

Then just wait for God to rain.

God is also interesting enough.

On the third day after the disinfecting, the spring thunder rolled and the rain continued.

Water from the mountains rushes in, and the water level in Lingshan Reservoir rises visibly to the naked eye.

When it was up a few meters, Ji Ran put all the grass carp seedlings in the 'Wang Fang Quan' into the reservoir.

After putting out the fry, Ji Ran held an umbrella and looked at the raindrops falling on the water, creating circles and ripples, and couldn't help but think about it.

In such a large reservoir, we definitely can’t just put one grass carp in it.

But the problem is...

The parents of the grass carp seedlings grew up eating fragrant wheatgrass, and they were bred through a "clear spring"...

There is no need for feeding in the future, and it can grow at a high speed, and it will have excellent quality...

If you put other fry...

Grass carp have sweet wheatgrass to 'upgrade', what about other fish...

"There is."

Looking at the small grass carp playing in groups on the water, Ji Ran thought of a solution.

……

Ji Ran spent a whole day driving to several freshwater aquaculture companies.

After repeated comparisons and considerations, Ji Ran purchased two kinds of fry in advance.

Both are rare and predatory fish species, with fifty fish each, each as thick as a thumb.

they are, respectively:
In "Fisher's Song", "Egrets fly in front of Xisai Mountain, and peach blossoms and flowing water are full of mandarin fish."Green bamboo hat, green coir raincoat, slanting wind and drizzle do not need to return to the middle - mandarin fish;
In "Fishermen on the River", "People who come and go on the river, but they love the beauty of perch; look at a boat with a leaf, and the beauty of the wind and waves" - perch.

After buying it back, Ji Ran got two net cages in Xintang.

Put the mandarin fish and sea bass fry separately.

Then Ji Ran caught a giant weed from the pond.

Slaughter it and keep the fish head for eating.

A small portion of the fish meat is used to wrap the bellies of Diao Zai and his family.

most of it……

Ji Ran bought a meat grinder...

Grass carp minced meat is fed to perch and mandarin fish fry.

Yes, Ji Ran's idea is very simple: feed fish with fish!

The mandarin fish and sea bass are just his experimental products. To see their effects, if possible, he will introduce more carnivorous fish for farming.

……

The spring rain comes and goes.

In two days, Lingshan Reservoir was half full.

This morning.

Ji Ran entered the 'Pure Land'.

Look up.

On the large and small trunks and branches of the durian trees, there are small green 'meteor hammers' growing one by one.

The branches of the cherry tree are covered with small pale red fruits, branch by branch, pile by pile, and bunch by bunch.

The fruit-bearing rates of both fruit trees are quite high.

Ji Ran looked at the tea tree again.

The tea tree grows taller, its branches and leaves spread out wider, and the young leaves are green and crystal clear.

Ji Ran picked tea first.

Pick the tea and then pick the aloe vera.

Cut off one-third of the leaves of each plant, and the rest will depend on the demand later.

In one morning, all generations of aloes were picked.

Picked several baskets.

'Youran Agriculture' bought two small trucks a few days ago, and Ji Ran drove one to take the aloe to the new factory in the town of 'Tongyan Daily Chemical'.

The first batch of employees of the new factory has already moved in, and the production line of aloe facial mask will start soon.

"So much?"

Tong Yuanyuan looked at the wide, thick and plump aloe vera leaves on the car, and was a little surprised.

She thought that Ji Ran's secret base didn't have much in stock, but she didn't expect there to be quite a lot.

These few baskets of aloe vera are enough for the company to produce tens of thousands of boxes of facial masks.

She was ready to tighten her belt, but her husband gave her a surprise.

Very good, the more the better.

Opening up the market is like fighting a war. The more money you have, the easier it is to fight.

Ji Ran smiled and said, "Your husband still has some stock, but don't waste it. It will take a while for the ones in the wall to mature."

"I know my husband, I will strive to maximize the value of each piece of aloe."

Tong Yuanyuan happily embraced him, ignoring the others, enjoying the fragrance.

"Everyone, pay attention to the image of your high-cold and domineering female president... You can move all the county town over as soon as possible, and you can go home and live every day in the future."

Ji Ran pampered her face.

"I know."

Tong Yuanyuan whispered in his ear, shyly said, "From now on, we can..."

"hey-hey."

Ji Ran laughed and rubbed his waist.

Plowing the fields every night is a beautiful thing, but I'm afraid my waist won't be able to bear it.

……

After leaving 'Tongyan Daily Chemical' and preparing to return to the village, Wen Feng called.

"Cumin, are you free?"

"Temporarily free."

"If you have time, let's go fishing?"

"I'm desperate, brother Sanlang is so elegant today?"

“I got something interesting in hand, let’s play with it together?”

"What good stuff?"

"You will know when you come to the construction site."

"Heh, you're even playing tricks on me... OK, just wait, you'll be there in a few minutes."

Ji Ran changed direction and went straight to the 'Yuyue' construction site.

Seeing Ji Ran coming in a truck, Wen Feng was slightly taken aback, and joked, "Why, are you tired of delicacies from mountains and seas, do you miss simple meals?"

"Delivery for my wife."

Ji Ran said, "Don't talk nonsense. If you have something interesting, take it out and let me take a look."

"wait for me a while."

Wen Feng returned to his residence, and when he came out again, he was holding a shopping bag in his hand.

Take the contents out...

It's two packs of bait.

To be precise, it is a bag of powdery bait and a bag of corn nest material.

The covers of the two packs are the same - a middle-aged and elderly man, holding a big golden carp in his hand, smiling like a blooming chrysanthemum.

The brand name is the same - Jiangli!
Ji Ran smiled and shook his head, "You've done it all, it's amazing, Lao Wen!"

"Don't forget I have an undercover agent."

Wen Feng smiled triumphantly, "Shall we try the effect ourselves?"

Ji Ran was noncommittal, "It has been a few days since Lao Zeng launched the show. It has been on the market for a few days. Some fishing friends should have used it. What's the response been like?"

Wen Feng said seriously, "I have received feedback from several fishing friends who have used it. Based on a comprehensive judgment, I think they are indeed much stronger than the best carp nest baits on the market. But there is no such thing as in Lao Zeng's joke, And how good he was on that live stream."

Ji Ran sneered, "Old Zeng has sworn that if there is any cheating, he will leave the circle immediately and never re-enter... Haha, I would rather believe that there are ghosts in the world than believe the lies of those anchors."

Wen Feng just laughed, "You are also an anchor, okay?"

Ji Ran... Khan, knocked himself down with one blow.

Ji Ran joked, "Aren't you going to slice and study these two packages?"

"After a rough research, the main ingredients are no different from ordinary carp nest bait... The core thing is some additives... It is not so easy to understand the details..."

Wen Feng said, "Haven't you already successfully researched the carp god bait? Why should I spend all this time?"

Ji Ran nodded and said, "That's right, there's no need to waste time and energy doing this useless work."

Wen Feng raised the two packs of nest bait in his hand, "Find a place to try it?"

Ji Ran showed no interest, "You go and try it, I want to go back to farming."

Wen Feng...

I lost interest in an instant.

At the same time, I also understood that Ji Ran looked down on 'Carp Jiang' because he was full of confidence in his own carp bait.

Wen Feng was looking forward to it. Will Ji Ran's carp magic bait be as awesome as his grass carp and crucian carp magic bait?

……

Back at Youranju, Jiran found two swallows flying out from under the eaves of the wooden house.

In the corridor, Dou Hua happily pointed to the eaves of the wall, "Dad, the swallows are back after winter, and they are going to build a nest in our house."

Ji Ran looked up and saw some fresh mud sticking to the corner of the wall eaves, which was obviously picked up by the pair of swallows just now.

Ji Ran was surprised to see it.

There are four kings of raptors and three behemoths in the German shepherd living in Youran. How dare this pair of swallows come to build a nest?
Didn't you carefully observe the environment beforehand?
Well, since you're here, Ji Ran is very welcome.

Among all wild birds, swallows are the closest to humans.

According to ancient customs, swallows are birds of peace and auspiciousness.

It is an auspicious sign for swallows to enter the house.

I remember when I was a kid, every household in that society basically lived in old adobe houses.

There are swallows nesting under the eaves of many houses, even in the side halls of the main house.

The villagers are happy to see them coming.

As for whether to care for them... humans do not harm them, which is the greatest care for them.
In order to prevent the ignorant naughty children from harming the swallow...

The old people also made up stories that whoever dug out the swallow's nest would get sores on their hands.

Ji Ran was so frightened that when they were young, they harmed the nests, eggs and cubs of all kinds of birds, except the swallows.

Ji Ran couldn't remember when it started that swallows' nests in villages became increasingly rare, and swallows became increasingly rare in the sky...

Anyway, last year, he didn't hear of any swallows building nests in any house in the village.

"Diao Zai Liang Diao, Da Fei Zai and Er Fei Zai... You four can't hurt those pair of swallows. If you can avoid them, try to avoid them and don't scare them away."

"Wang Zai, roll around and round, you guys are the same."

Ji Ran deliberately explained to the Gouzi Sand Sculptures repeatedly.

Douhua then repeated her father's explanation to the pets, and she was the happiest when the swallows came to build a nest.
