Xianyuan Farm

After deciding on the fish to be farmed, the two cousins ​​started to take action. Before purchasing the fry, they needed to clean up and build the Red Lake.

In the early stage, Gu Hongyu used a piece of water in the Red Lake as a breeding farm, and the other waters remained unchanged.

Among the designated waters, it is now necessary to make a reasonable plan for this area. First, it is necessary to purchase many different types of fishing nets to separate this area from other waters in the Red Lake. Secondly, many fine nets are needed in the breeding area to separate different fry. These are equivalent to raising fish in cages, but the area is much larger than that of ordinary cages.

They did it as soon as they said it. After lunch, the sunshine in the sky shone on their bodies and they felt warm. At this time, they would not feel cold when they went into the water.

The water area for raising fish is only a small area for the Red Lake. Before Gu Hongyu made this decision, the two cousins ​​were still thinking about using the entire Red Lake for raising fish. Gu Hongyu smiled when he heard this suggestion, but immediately refused.

Because in Gu Hongyu's view, Honghu Lake is a rare lake in this boundless desert. It is like an extremely bright pearl inlaid in the desert. Although Gu Hongyu's aquaculture is green and environmentally friendly and does not damage the ecological environment of the lake, as long as there are more fish, it will more or less bring a lot of negative impacts to Honghu Lake.

Since he is ready to fight for a long time in Honghu Village, Gu Hongyu does not want future people to never see the clear water and leisurely environment of Honghu Lake again, nor does he want later generations to accuse and criticize him. It is better to leave a blue sky for future generations.

The world is big, Gu Hongyu can't take care of other places, but he can take care of both in Honghu Village.

I told these reasons to my two cousins. They didn't say anything. Maybe they still couldn't understand it, but money can't be earned. Gu Hongyu really doesn't need to destroy the environment to make a fortune.

Many constructions in Honghu Village have come to an end, and he is very satisfied with the current situation. It doesn't seem like they are building more facilities. If there are still deficiencies, then they should make Honghu Village greener and turn it into a Jiangnan outside the Great Wall.

Gu Hongyu, who has the best constitution, was the first to jump into the lake. If he didn't come down, he wouldn't know that many of the external water sources of Honghu Lake were melted ice and snow and flowed into it. At this moment, the lake water still feels particularly chilling.

He shuddered. Gu Hongyu shouted: "Big brother, second brother, you don't have to come down. The water temperature is too low."

Seeing Gu Hongyu gritting his teeth in the cold, the eldest cousin said with concern: "Xiaoyu, why don't you just come up. Wait a little longer and maybe the water temperature will be higher. Then we can go down again."

"No, it's just that I couldn't stand it at the beginning, but now it's much better." Gu Hongyu, who was relieved, said firmly. Time waits for no one. If he doesn't do the preliminary work of fish farming well at this time, he will get married soon, and he and Mei Ning have planned to go out for a honeymoon immediately after the wedding. This delay is at least two months, so even if we raise fish fry this year, we will not have any income from aquatic products.

After Gu Hongyu made his attitude clear, his second cousin acted more directly, taking off his clothes and pants and leaving only a pair of boxer briefs. He also jumped into the lake with a plop, and was immediately so cold that he fluttered in the water randomly, and he kept yelling from time to time.

"It's so damn cold..." After adapting, the second cousin finally calmed down.

Nothing was purchased. This afternoon, we just cleaned up the waters where the fish fry were to be raised. The eldest cousin rowed a simple wooden boat made of several wooden boards. He rowed towards the lake with some tools, and Gu Hongyu and the second cousin followed immediately.

It's called cleaning. In fact, it's not difficult to say, that is, to conduct a rough exploration of the bottom of the lake. See if there is anything on the bottom of the lake that is harmful to the fishing net, such as large omnivorous fish, and the complex environment of the bottom of the lake, and the algae that have grown.

Although the second cousin went into the water, he was no match for Gu Hongyu. The average depth from the lake surface to the bottom of the lake was five or six meters, and this was not a particularly deep place. If you reach the part with a siphon at the bottom of the lake, the water depth would probably exceed 30 meters, which is the height of a ten-story building.

Gu Hongyu could still dive at the bottom of the lake for ten minutes if he held his breath, but the second cousin couldn't hold his breath when he dived to the bottom of the lake and had to return to the surface. Seeing this, the eldest cousin shook his head helplessly on the wooden boat, and was greatly surprised by Gu Hongyu's diving ability.

Later, Gu Hongyu discovered this situation and said to his eldest cousin on the wooden boat: "Brother, go to the diving club and borrow a set of diving equipment for my second cousin to wear. I didn't think it through before coming."

The second cousin didn't say anything this time. Before leaving, the eldest cousin asked: "Xiaoyu, do you want a set?"

"I don't need it. This depth of water is no problem for me." Gu Hongyu can now stay in the water for more than an hour with one breath, but in order not to shock the world, he has to calculate the time to get out of the water so as not to arouse suspicion, otherwise the efficiency of exploring the bottom of the water will be much higher.

After borrowing the diving equipment, the second cousin can walk under the water all the time, but in order not to go in the wrong direction, he still has to surface every ten minutes, but even so, everyone's efficiency has been greatly improved.

This lake cleaning operation gradually attracted many tourists, who pointed at the big cousin in the lake. This attracted many passers-by who were unaware of the situation. Gradually, many people gathered around the edge of Honghu Lake, and some took out their cameras to take pictures of the lake.

"What's going on?"

"Who fell into the lake?"

"Has anyone been rescued?"

"Who said something? They are inspecting this area. I heard that Boss Gu is using this lake to raise fish this year."

"Well, after this inspection, the next step is to buy cages and fish fry. From what Boss Gu said, I haven't heard of many of the fish species they raise!"

"What kind of fish do they raise?"

"I know about Yellow River carp and knife fish, but there are also sturgeons and Huangyu, which are all precious guys. I haven't raised these two types of fish in Red Lake, and I don't know if they can be raised?"

"The decision made by Boss Gu makes sense. He is now the God of Wealth for all of us. You can see that investing in anything doesn't make a lot of money. If I had this large piece of lake water, I would immediately follow him and do it. ..."

"Then you will have a treat when you come to Honghu Village. In addition to fish, do they raise other aquatic products?"

"Of course, in addition to these fish, there are also shrimps and crabs. But I heard that they are raised in cages, and you can harvest as many as you raise, which is very convenient."

"Tsk, in addition to shrimps and crabs, I heard that Boss Gu also wants to raise four major carps, but these fry will not be separated by net cages, and all will be directly dumped into the lake. I heard that Boss Gu will build a special fishing platform next, and the four major carps will supplement the number of fish in Honghu. "

"..."

I didn't expect that it was just a very ordinary cleaning. Many gossiping tourists and villagers who knew the situation started to communicate with each other. A person who didn't know the news listened with relish, while the villagers who kept telling the tourists the news were very proud. This group of people complemented each other and got along very well.

But Gu Hongyu didn't care about these things. He was now fascinated by the situation at the bottom of the lake.

This is a relatively concave place at the bottom of the lake. If it were on land, this kind of terrain would be canyons and cols.

In the clear Red Lake, Gu Hongyu opened his eyes and the visibility was about five meters. He passed by the algae-covered areas, and saw many natural exposed rocks at the bottom of the lake, as well as countless small fish and shrimps that fled in panic. Some of the small fish ran straight into his arms while fleeing.

But there was nothing in those places that interested Gu Hongyu. Only here did Gu Hongyu make a major discovery.

The area of ​​the sunken area at the bottom of the lake was not very large. Gu Hongyu checked the surrounding terrain and found that the sunken area was at most 20 to 30 square meters. But many of the same creatures gathered here. They did not escape after Gu Hongyu broke in. No, it was because they did not have time to escape.

In the sunken area at the bottom of the lake of only 20 to 30 square meters, there were densely packed lake clams, which were almost attached to the rocks at the bottom of the lake one by one. According to Gu Hongyu's estimation, there were at least tens of thousands of lake clams in this small area.

I don't understand why tens of thousands of lake clams gathered here, but Gu Hongyu's eyes lit up when he saw these lake clams. Each of the clams in the depression is bigger than an adult's palm, and the length is between 20 and 30 centimeters. Anyone who is a foodie will think of the delicious food they can cook when they see this.

Because he didn't bring any tools, Gu Hongyu floated to the surface without saying a word.

"Xiaoyu, what happened down there?" Gu Hongyu just went down to breathe. He always took ten minutes to breathe before diving, and this time it was less than three minutes, so it naturally attracted the attention of his eldest cousin.

But Gu Hongyu didn't answer this question, but said to his eldest cousin: "Brother, go back and find me some net bags. I found some good things at the bottom of the lake. Everyone will have a good meal tonight!"

"What is it?" At this moment, it was time for the second cousin to float to the surface, and he came up just in time to hear what Gu Hongyu said.

Gu Hongyu gestured: "Have you seen such a big clam shell? There are at least tens of thousands of them in a place at the bottom of the lake just now. I plan to get some back to cook. This thing is delicious when it is done."

"Is there really such a big clam?" The second cousin couldn't believe it.

"Why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, go down and see for yourself. Big brother, hurry back to the net bag!" Gu Hongyu urged.

"Okay, okay, you wait." Then he rowed the wooden boat to the shore.

In just a moment, the eldest cousin brought the net bag, and the second cousin accompanied Gu Hongyu to dive to the depression at the bottom of the lake. The second cousin was more excited than Gu Hongyu when he saw the situation in the depression. Bubbles kept coming out of the water, and he stretched out his hand and gave Gu Hongyu a thumbs up.

Lake clams are easy to catch. As long as you touch them, they won't run away. In a short while, the whole net bag was filled, at least 20 to 30 kilograms.

After handing these lake clams to the eldest cousin, Gu Hongyu and the second cousin continued to explore the situation in this section of water. They marked the places with a lot of algae and the places with complex terrain on the bottom of the lake. In the future, they would bypass these places when placing net cages or separating fishing nets on the lake.

The area of ​​fish farming is only a few hundred acres, and there are very few places on the lake bottom that really need to be cleaned. After a thorough investigation, the task was easily completed in half a day. Of course, this is for Gu Hongyu. Although the second cousin put on a diving suit, he still felt uncomfortable after staying underwater for a while.

Faced with the net bag of big clams in Gu Hongyu's hand, plus Gu Hongyu's good figure, and many tourists taking a few photos of him, Gu Hongyu smiled bitterly and thought: Now his pictures will appear on the Internet again.

But Gu Hongyu couldn't stop this kind of thing. Seeing more people rushing here, Gu Hongyu could only quickly escape.

"Hey, Xiao Gu, your family has delicious food today!" Uncle Azha laughed at Gu Hongyu as soon as he ran into the community.

Gu Hongyu raised the net bag and said to Uncle Azha: "Uncle, bring Auntie and Xiaohao to my house for dinner tonight. Let's have a drink with so many clams?"

"Okay, I won't refuse this. I haven't tasted the taste of clams for a long time." Uncle Azha answered without hesitation.

As soon as they got home, the whole family looked at what Gu Hongyu was holding. Everyone else gathered around with great interest, only the mother frowned. The mother had always disliked snails and river clams, but the father liked them very much. When he was in the mountain city, the father occasionally bought some home, but the mother didn't know how to cook them, so the father had to cook by himself.

"Oh, such a big lake clam, did you catch this when you went to the lake today?" The father said happily.

The second cousin said on the side: "Uncle, Xiaoyu and I also saw a lot of crabs, but now is not the time to eat those guys, so this time we took some lake clams home."

"Haha, then I'll show off my cooking skills tonight. I'm very good at cooking this thing, let you taste my cooking skills!" The father said shamelessly, but except for Gu Hongyu, no one else here really knows how to cook lake clams.

The father cooked, and Gu Hongyu, as a son, could only help. It took a long time to finish the whole twenty-plus kilograms of lake clams.

The clams fished out of the Red Lake were not clearly visible underwater. Now Gu Hongyu looked carefully and found that each of them was brown-red in color. The closer to the edge, the more obvious this color was, which was very different from other species of lake clams or river clams.

Maybe it was a new creature. No matter how it was fished out, Gu Hongyu's first thought was to satisfy his appetite!

He picked up a screwdriver and inserted it into the gap where the clams were not completely closed. Then he pried the shell open with force. This was a test of technique. If the technique was not in place, it was easy to break the shell, but the clam meat inside could not be taken out.

However, as soon as he opened the shell of the lake clam, Gu Hongyu was stunned because he found that there was a pink pearl growing inside the lake clam!
