104. Raising eels
The real purpose of Ao Muyang leaving the spring is to explore the changes in the golden elixir. The golden droplets that caused the golden elixir to change came from the spring. He had a premonition that such small droplets would slowly emerge in the future.
However, he casually said that he wanted to raise eels and loaches, which was also a good idea.
As Sun Fuhua and others said, if a small building does not have a front yard but a back yard, then the back yard is blocked by the building and it will be of no value.
However, if used to build a breeding pond, the backyard is more suitable than the front yard, because many aquatic organisms like eels and loaches like yin and dislike yang, so they must be chosen to breed them in the shade.
He did it as soon as he said that, and he couldn't go out to sea anyway, so Ao Muyang stayed in the homestead.
He first paid for the engineering team to dig a drainage channel and expanded the backyard breeding area - it was not that he wanted to raise a lot of things, but that the spring water was rising quickly and the first foundation hole could no longer be installed.
When the drainage canal is completed, the spring water comes out of the spring's eye, then pours into the breeding pit, flows outward along the breeding pit and enters the drainage canal, and finally flows into Ambergris Lake.
Then he began to clean up the breeding pit. Ao Fugui dug some golden eels and loaches by the Ambergris Lake. Ao Muyang chose the young fish that had not grown and some female fish that were not eaten. This would happen to be breeding.
The fishing village is not short of breeding technology, so he asked the old man Ao Zhibing and asked, and the old man provided him with a new technology: cage breeding.
"I'll give you a call. You can ask him to buy some cages. You need polyethylene cages. They are sturdy and easy to use and do not pollute the pool. You can decide the specific model for yourself..."
"You bought the cage and put it in the pool at a distance, and then plant water hyacinths, water lotus, etc. under the pool. This is called aquaponics..."
The old man explained it to him with a dry tobacco pipe in his mouth. Ao Muyang admired him very much: "Master Bing, you are old and have no brains. You know this new technology very clearly."
Ao Zhibing smiled and said, "Haha, I have nothing to do at home, so I ordered some newspapers and magazines to study the current breeding techniques, which is considered to be a bit of experience."
The old man was a famous breeding expert in the eight villages in Shicuns. When he was young, he was a commune aquaculture specialist. Later, he was a person who contracted a breeding pond in Qiantan Town with reform and opening up.
But aquaculture not only depends on ability and courage, but also on luck. More than ten years ago, Ao Zhibing invested in a fishing ground by the sea, but a storm came, and the fishing ground was broken, ruining his years of hard work.
Since then, he has become less focused on breeding. After all, he has been unable to make trouble when he gets old, so he has changed to being a breeding consultant. Any family in the surrounding villages will come to him for questions when they encounter difficulties in breeding.
There are such cages in the town. Ao Muyang ordered a batch, and the merchant specially found the best materials for him.
He is somewhat famous in the town now. A few days ago, someone has been pulling banners at Jinhong's door. The merchants in the town have found out what's going on and know that he is not easy to mess with.
The netware boss dared not cheat him, so he gave him the biggest discount, and then sold him a batch of polyethylene cages.
Ao Muyang went to get the cage, and the boss introduced: "This is a 36-mesh mesh without knots. Look, the cage is stringed with wire ropes, with a diameter of 5 mm, which is absolutely sturdy!"
These cages are spliced into cuboids by mesh, with specifications of 3 meters by 2 meters, and can be connected to each other, and then form larger and longer cages, or even a cage group.
After confirming that the cage was fine, Ao Muyang paid the money and bought a batch of water hyacinth seedlings, water peanut seedlings and water floating lotus seedlings.
The boss who sells seedlings specifically reminded: "Brothers, don't let them enter Ambergris. These things are invasive species. No one can control them when they breed after entering."
Ao Muyang nodded: "Don't worry, I have a question."
He took the cage home, and the old man Ao Zhibing came to command him to install it.
The foundation pit has been deepened, lengthened and widened, with a length of ten meters, a width of five meters and a depth of two meters, and a water storage capacity has been greatly enhanced.
Aquatic plants seedlings can survive by throwing them in. Ao Muyang added a blocking net between the breeding pit and the drainage canal to prevent aquatic plants from flowing into the lake.
After planting aquatic plants, the next step was to place the cage. Ao Zhibing guided him to match the height and undulation of the cage, which was mainly divided into five levels: bottom of the water, half a meter deep water, one meter deep water, one meter deep water, and one meter five deep water and the water surface.
After placing the cage, Ao Zhibing guided him to put a fence outside: "Your breeding pond is too close to the mountain. There are snakes, mice and frogs on the mountain. These things can eat loaches and eels, so you have to deal with them with them carefully."
Ao Muyang surrounded the surrounding area with a one-meter-high fence. In fact, if the general was guarding here, he would not be able to enter anything. But the general had to go out to sea with him during the day and to guard Lu Zhizi at night, which was really too hard to do.
With a breeding pond, there are still seedlings. It is obviously not enough for him to save the loaches and golden eels from his teeth before.
This is quite fucking. Ao Muyang's breeding pool is too large compared to the number of seedlings in his hands, but it is relatively regular breeding and too small to buy seedlings from the seedling factory, so people will definitely ignore him.
So he had an idea and changed to go to the lake to catch eels and loaches by himself. Moreover, the golden eels and loaches in Ambergris Lake are more popular than those in the outside world. If the breeding is not much different from the wild, he can make a fortune by relying on this breeding pond alone.
In August, Ao Muyang, despite the still hot weather, packed up his things and prepared to go to Ambergris in the evening.
As soon as he picked up the floor cage and carried the fishing rod, Ao Xiaoniu's voice sounded at the door: "Uncle Yang, I'm back."
Ao Muyang turned his head and was overjoyed: "Ha, Hu Hansan is back? Aren't you discharged from the hospital tomorrow or the next?"
He was prepared for this. He usually went to the town hospital to visit the mother and son, and brought food and daily necessities to the two of them, and had a clear understanding of his injuries.
Ao Xiaoniu smiled and touched his head, saying, "Well, I came out early. The doctor said I was a child and grew up fast. Well, there was nothing wrong with my legs."
He lifted up his shorts, the wound healed, leaving a hideous scar.
Ao Muyang patted his head and said, "This is a lesson. Please calm down and don't do anything randomly in your work in the future? And do you have to find Uncle Yang to know if there is anything? Don't stand it by yourself."
Ao Xiaoniu smiled embarrassedly.
Ao Muyang handed him the ground cage and said, "Let's go and catch loaches and golden eels with uncle."
Ao Xiaoniu said happily: "Okay, I'll call on a few friends, we're doing this."
It was evening when the cram school was over, and the children turned into wild dogs running around the village. They were very happy to see Ao Xiaoniu coming back, and then they were caught by Ao Xiaoniu and brought to help.
Lu Zhizi happened to come to find Ao Muyang, and when he saw him picking up the guys and going out, he became interested: "Let's go fishing with you."
"This is fishing for loaches and eels, don't be afraid."
Lu Zhizi took a fishing rod and said proudly: "What's there to be afraid of in this girl? Look, I'll help you today."
Ao Muyang smiled and said, "Catching eels and loaches is not an easy task. Are you sure you can do it?"
Lu Zhizi's expression became even more arrogant: "Absolutely! No problem!"
