Chapter 369 Interesting Features
Han Xiaorui was surprised when she saw it. She didn't expect her sister to be able to catch a manta ray.
"This thing is called a manta ray, which is the collective name for several species of marine fish in the family Mantaidae. There are 13 species of manta rays in existence. Manta rays are most closely related to sharks."
"Shark?" Han Xiaojing blinked in disbelief, "Other than being in the sea, I don't see anything that looks like a shark. Is this thing edible?"
Han Xiaorui replied with a smile: "The meat of manta rays is spineless and has certain edible value, but it doesn't taste very good. This kind of fish is relatively rare and reproduces very slowly."
Han Xiaojing thought for a while, and then said firmly: "Sister, since it doesn't taste good and the quantity is small, let's let it go."
Han Xiaorui nodded, "Okay, anyway, you caught a lot of fish at noon today, so you can eat other things. There is no need to eat such rare fish."
"Sister, this fish looks very strange. Are they any different from other fish?" Han Xiaojing was curious. She was a little tired and didn't want to continue fishing. While drinking water, she asked her sister about sea fish.
Han Xiaojing read some books, but she was still not familiar with these sea fish.
At this time, Chen Yishui came over and heard Han Xiaojing's words, and replied: "To say something different, there is one that is really interesting. Manta rays are very special when they breed. The breeding period is from December every year to April of the next year. "
"Manta rays begin to appear in groups in shallow waters, usually with several smaller males following a slightly larger female, swimming slightly faster than usual. After 20 to 30 minutes of chasing, the female manta ray gradually Slowing down, the male manta ray swims under the female to mate.”
"Then the second suitor will repeat the above process. The female manta ray can only accept the pursuit of two "love ones" at most - 1~2 fertilized eggs develop in the female's body and hatch out larvae."
"After about 13 months, the female manta ray often gives birth while flying in the air, that is, flying out of the water to give birth. One calf is born, and the baby manta rays will be born directly from the mother's body, and they will soon be able to swim freely. , alone in the world. ”
Han Xiaojing was surprised to hear the introduction of Chen Yishui, an experienced captain, "The way of giving birth is quite special. But why do they jump out to give birth?"
Chen Yishui scratched his head, "Ancestors said it was to prevent natural enemies from invading children when they were weak. Now there seems to be another saying that the pressure at the bottom of the sea is strong and the pressure in the air is small. Jumping from the water into the air, because the pressure decreases, it will be more intense. It is convenient for the fish larvae to be born in the belly.”
"We don't know exactly what's going on. Anyway, this fish gives birth to one cub. The mother fish has been protecting the young fish since they were young. They are considered to be the most protective fish in the sea. They have a very docile personality. Their gathering during the breeding season is very spectacular. .”
Han Xiaojing smiled and said, "I have gained more knowledge today. I feel that this fish, like humans, may give birth to few offspring, so it takes special care of its offspring. If it had been left alone, it would have become extinct long ago."
"Unlike some fish and shrimps, which give birth to hundreds of thousands or millions of offspring in one litter, they can thrive without paying too much attention and can survive on their own. Nature is full of miraculous craftsmanship."
After Han Xiaojing took the photo, she released the manta ray.
At noon, we ate fish caught by Han Xiaojing, which tasted quite delicious.
Adults and children also have a lot of fun.
They didn't return until the sun set.
Captain Wang and two assistants, as well as Wu Mengyue, Chen Yishui and others helped clean the cruise ship.
After cleaning up, Captain Wang left.
If Han Xiaorui goes to sea, she can call Captain Wang in advance and they will come directly. This cruise ship will not go out every day.
After Han Xiaorui came back, she began to think about how to maximize the use of the cruise ship.
During the fishing ban period, Han Xiaorui was ready to do these things.
The construction of Jinshanwan Primary School and Junior High School started last autumn and winter, and the theme buildings have been completed. It can be covered before summer vacation.
The contractor here is Ye Feng's comrade-in-arms.
Good job, good quality and quantity.
"Brother Xu, thank you and the workers. The school is well built. There are still some follow-up projects, which will be done by you and the third construction company."
Xu Cheng laughed heartily, "It must be done. What we earn is conscience money. The great man once said that no matter how hard it is, we must not suffer the children, and no matter how poor we are, we must not deprive ourselves of education. The school must be built well."
Han Xiaorui nodded, "Yes, can the interior decoration be done during the summer vacation? As for the greening, there is no rush."
Xu Cheng replied: "In some places, we have made overall arrangements and will not hinder the construction of classrooms. Flowers, plants and trees have been planted during the Arbor Day in the spring. They are all arranged according to Mr. Yao's arrangements."
"When all the classrooms are renovated and the tables, chairs and benches are delivered, we will renovate them all during the summer vacation and they will be ready for use when school starts in September."
Han Xiaorui nodded and praised, "I just went shopping and it was really good. Brother Xu is busy."
Xu Cheng smiled and said, "Actually, it's me who thanks you and Ye Feng. Without you guys introducing us to the project, how could I have brought a group of farmers from my hometown to work."
"The wages are also paid in a timely manner. The workers send the money home, and some have already started building houses in their hometowns. Life is much better."
Han Xiaorui didn't dare to take credit, "What's wrong with the farmers? Brother Xu, don't belittle yourself. Without food, how many people in China will starve to death? Now that the economy is liberalized, everyone comes out to work and make money with their own strength, and it's fair and aboveboard."

Xu Cheng was very happy when he heard Han Xiaorui's encouragement, "I encourage everyone in the same way, but here in Shanghai, it is really much better than our hometown. Seeing that the schools here are so good, I want to I brought my wife and children here and let them go to school. Normally, I run around organizing construction workers.”
Han Xiaorui thought for a moment and said, "This shouldn't be difficult. You register a construction contracting company and take on projects in a regular way, so you can easily ask for money in the future. Then you will have relevant policies and bring your family here. If you don't understand something, you can Go consult Lawyer Chen, he can handle it properly, but it will cost some money.”
Xu Cheng disagreed, "It's normal to spend money to do things. I'm not familiar with the place. Whether it's registering a company, taking on projects, or doing other things, I'm not familiar with it. It's worth spending the money to find a reliable person to bring you in." ”
Han Xiaorui praised, "No wonder Ye Feng thought about asking Brother Xu to come over. He seems to be the right person at first glance. When the school is completed, there will still be many buildings on that street, and some of them are still alive."
Speaking of this, Xu Cheng became even more happy, "Shencheng now feels like a big factory, with booming development everywhere. As long as there is a way, there will be work. Thanks to you and Ye Feng for your help, I sincerely Thank you.”
This was what he said from his heart. He assigned the work, but because he offended the leader and was put in the shoes, Xu Cheng couldn't do it anymore.
Ye Feng called him over and pointed out a clear path.
