Chapter 132: Oyster Seedlings (Subscription Request)

From the Fisheries Research Institute, oyster seedlings were transported over at 3:30 in the morning.

Chen Dongqing, who was in charge of following the boat, had a pair of unhappy panda eyes. When he saw Li Duoyu, he was smoking a cigarette and cursing.

"Damn it, it's obviously you who is making money, but it's me who's doing the hard work. I spent the whole night with the master last night."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Chen Huiying behind Li Duoyu and immediately put out his cigarette: "Sister, why did you wake up so early?"

Chen Huiying said: "If you haven't slept yet, go and take a nap, and smoke less, you know?"

"Okay, sister."

Before leaving, Chen Dongqing also said to the person in charge on the ship: "Team Leader Lin, I will help them unload the cargo later. I can't hold on any longer, so I'm going back first."

When Li Duoyu came to the boat and looked at a whole boat of oyster sprouts, he immediately felt pressure.

This boatload of oyster seedlings are all first-year-old oyster seedlings, which are relatively small, about two to three fingers wide, and are piled on the entire deck of the ship.

Li Duoyu didn't know how many there were, but he estimated that there were 70,000 to 80,000.

With so many oyster seedlings, Li Duoyu must finish sorting, gluing and putting them into the water on the same day. Otherwise, if they are kept for too long, they will probably die even if he has a shaded factory building.

Li Duoyu jumped onto the boat.

I found that the masters harvesting oyster seedlings were the same people who came to deliver kelp before. They looked listless.

I must have been working hard all night last night.

As before, Li Duoyu distributed the drinks, cigarettes and light cakes that he had prepared first to the masters.

When these masters saw the cigarettes and wine handed over by Li Duoyu, smiles appeared on their tired faces. The leader, Team Leader Lin, hurriedly said:

"Duoyu, you don't have to be so polite every time."

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "That's right. Thank you for your hard work. Next, you can rest first while we unload the goods."

"Why are you so embarrassed? We work for the research institute. If Section Chief Zhang finds out, he won't scold us to death."

"Then why don't we come together."

"this is okay."

Afterwards, Li Duoyu took people on the boat and shoveled all the oyster seedlings into sacks, then moved them to the back bucket of the tractor and transported them to the factory.

There was a whole tin boatload of oyster seedlings, and it took the tractor master three full trips to pull out the oysters.

After unloading the oyster sprouts.

The fish bellies are already white in Dongfang, and the iron boat of the Fisheries Research Institute has also returned, while Li Duoyu has started a busy day.

Grandma has already organized the people who are going to stick the oyster sprouts.

Maybe it was because the weather was too hot, there was no fish to catch, and there was no money to be made. There were a lot of people here this time. In addition to the group of people holding kelp seedlings, there were also many new faces.

To Li Duoyu's surprise, even Liu Xiaolan came. After seeing Li Duoyu, she smiled and called: "Brother Yu."

Li Duoyu nodded to her.

Immediately afterwards.

Li Duoyu divided them into two groups. Those who had raised oysters before and those who had cracked oysters were assigned to one group because the oyster seedlings sent by the research institute came with ropes and had not been cleaned.

There are a large number of mussels and barnacles attached to it, which must be removed before the oysters can emerge.

Otherwise, these things will steal nutrients and grow faster than oysters, especially barnacles. Once they are allowed to grow, the oysters will not grow big.

Li Duoyu counted and found that there were a total of nine people who knew how to crack oysters, and almost all of them were his relatives. Needless to say, my mother-in-law and second sister-in-law must have cracked oysters.

As for the eldest aunt and those cousins-in-law, they are simply the masters among masters. If I remember correctly, the eldest aunt Zhang Guifen's natal family has nearly a hundred acres of oyster fields.

My cousin and the others have to go over and help crack the oysters every year when the oysters are in season.

There are only seven inexperienced people. Li Duoyu plans to let them be responsible for sticking oysters, which will be much simpler.

Li Duoyu took out fifteen oysters and let the flat side lie on the ground. Then he took out a rope and placed it on the raised side of the oysters.

"It's very simple, we use cement and rope to fix two oysters together."

"We glue two oysters every 15 centimeters. Don't use too much cement. We can only glue the buttocks of the oysters, not the front."

Generally speaking, sticking oysters is even simpler than sticking kelp seedlings. The only thing you need to pay attention to is applying cement slurry.

The cement slurry must be mixed with water and cannot be too thin, otherwise it will dry very slowly, so Li Duoyu decided that he would be responsible for the cement slurry.

After Li Duoyu finished explaining the matter.

In particular, piece-rate charges were still adopted, and because of the hot weather, Li Duoyu raised his wages slightly.

Everyone became full of motivation instantly, and the second sister-in-law was the strongest. She held a bag of 70 to 80 kilograms of oyster sprouts in each hand.

Li Duoyu felt a little numb when he saw her. Fortunately, he had never made a move against her in these years. Otherwise, it would be hard to tell who would lose and who would win.

Now on the island, many people are staring at Li Duoyu. The novel method of keeping oysters has instantly attracted the attention of the villagers, who have come to watch the excitement.

As a result, more and more people gathered around.

It has seriously affected everyone.

Li Duoyu, who was a little angry, said impatiently: "If you continue to watch like this, I will charge a fee."

"Duoyu, how come you only care about money?"

"That's right, that's right."

At this time, a clam farmer named Tang Ping took out a fifty cent note and placed it in front of Li Duoyu:

"Here, here, is fifty cents enough? Tell us why you, an oyster, need to stick to cement."

"Five cents, you're treating beggars like this."

"At least give me one dollar."

After saying that, Li Duoyu took the one dollar without any hesitation.

The villagers couldn't help but complain: "Damn it, you are now the richest person on the island, and you don't even let five cents go."

"Nonsense, don't slander me, I still owe a lot of money to the credit union."

"Besides, no matter how rich I am, I can't be as rich as the Wang brothers."

When Wang Dapao was mentioned, everyone frowned. To be honest, they didn't know how much money the two brothers had.

And recently, some of them received red envelopes from Wang Jinjun, and the meaning was so obvious that it couldn't be more obvious.

Tang Ping urged:

"Don't worry about who is the richest, I have already paid, tell us quickly, how do you plan to raise these oysters?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "My method is called hanging culture, which is specially used to raise large oysters.

The oysters raised in our village before were small and did not have much meat, because there was not enough space for growth in column culture.

But like this, two oysters are put together, and the growth space is very large.

"

Li Duoyu was halfway through his speech, and suddenly stopped talking, coughed twice, and joked: "If you want to hear the next analysis, you have to pay more."

"Your uncle, tell us quickly."

And the tractor driver in the village laughed and scolded: "You are getting worse and worse. When you go to the bamboo house, I won't charge you. Tell us quickly."

Li Duoyu grinned.

Occasionally, he was still happy.

Li Duoyu answered all the villagers' questions one by one, and told the onlookers all the methods of hanging oysters.

But there were so many questions that it really affected Li Duoyu's work. At this time, someone just woke up.

Li Duoyu quickly said: "These are all taught by my uncle. He just came. You can ask him and it will be clearer."

Chen Dongqing, who was yawning, found that everyone gathered around and asked some questions about oyster farming.

"Dongqing, is this hanging method good?"

"Will raising these oysters make money?"

When the villagers asked this question, Chen Dongqing frowned and remained silent. Because of the previous experience of Uncle Tai's failure, he is now very careful when speaking.

"It's really hard to say. The breeding cycle of large oysters like Li Duoyu is very long, about three years, if there is a typhoon."

"It takes so long to raise them."

"Then the labor cost is very high and the risk is also great."

Chen Dongqing nodded: "Yes, that's right."

Having suffered a loss once, he will never guarantee to farmers that marine farming can make money. Instead, he tells them: farming is very risky.

Because aquaculture is really difficult, just like gambling, and you have to go through several disasters a year.

A sea surge can make the Wang brothers lose 10,000 yuan, not to mention the terrible things like typhoons.

Facing these fishermen who plan to raise oysters, Chen Dongqing can only say:

"If you really plan to raise them, you can sign up with me first. At that time, I will ask Section Chief Zhang Qingyun of the Institute to give you a class to teach you how to raise oysters."

"I'll sign up."

Tang Ping, who raised clams, raised his hand first.

"Count me in."

What Li Duoyu and Chen Dongqing didn't expect was that at this time, the village radio sounded.

This time, it was not Uncle Mao who broadcast the broadcast, but Wang Dapao himself.

"Hello, fellow villagers, I am Wang Xianjun, and now I will broadcast an important message to you."

"Our Dandan Island has reached a cooperation agreement with two Hong Kong Island investors. Villagers who want to raise abalone, hurry to the brigade to gather."
