Chapter 402 Unexpected Harvest
“Boss Tian, I can also vouch for this. The fish and shrimps here at Uncle Fugui are better than other places.”
As soon as Chen Ling finished speaking, Xiao Sheep also patted his chest and assured Tian Hongli.
As he spoke, he grinned again: "You haven't been to Uncle Fugui's farm yet, so you definitely don't know how many treasures Uncle Fugui has here. Last year, a big professor clamored to buy the fish he had. Although I have never tasted that kind of fish, I have eaten their cured fish since the beginning of the spring, and the taste is really unparalleled. It is a few blocks ahead of other cured fish.”
Tian Hongli stared after hearing this: “Good guy. , Big professors are coming to buy fish, so I have to take a look.”
Chen Ling chuckled and explained: "They are just some fine-scaled fish and mullet fish. There are not many of them. I will take you to my farm to have a look and you will know."
"Thin-scaled fish and mullet fish ?”
Tian Hongli was confused at first, and then asked tentatively: “I know about mullet fish, and I have seen a lot of them. They are beautiful, and they can be sold as ornamental fish, and they can also be eaten. A very good fish. What kind of fish is this thin-scaled fish? Can it be on the same level as the mullet fish? "
Tian Hongli is not a fisherman.
When it comes to the ornamental fish industry, he can talk about it. After all, this is what makes a living.
But when it comes to serious aquatic products, he is much worse.
If it weren’t for the rich resources here and the fact that Lao Turtle could make a lot of money with his name, he wouldn’t have rashly come to buy aquatic products.
So I was confused when I heard about the thin-scaled fish.
“Well, it’s almost the same level. This fine-scaled fish is also called fine-scaled salmon. It’s a cold-water fish. It can only be found in the northeastern region of the country and in the Qinling Mountains here. Ours is the Qinling fine-scaled fish. Squamous salmon..."
Chen Ling gave him a simple science popularization.
What is left over from the ocean, what price it reached in the 1980s.
Tian Hongli was confused after hearing this, and thought that no wonder the professor liked it. It turned out that this fish was so rare, and it was left on land from the sea many, many years ago.
I can’t wait to walk to the farm even more.
I want to see the true appearance of this rare fish.
As soon as I walked into the farm, I didn’t even see the fish yet. I was instantly stunned by the peaceful and elegant scenery of blooming flowers.
In this season, as soon as you walk into the farm, what comes into view is the densely spread green lotus leaves, and the bright red lotus flowers blooming between the green lotus leaves.
In addition to lotus, all kinds of unknown flowers and plants are also blooming.
Some are blooming on the ground and some are climbing vines, forming an arched flower bridge in the corridor.
It is completely a world of flowers.
You can't feel it at all outside the farm. As soon as you walk into the farm, your eyes suddenly light up, as if the scenery in front of you suddenly becomes vivid and vivid.
And the fragrance of all kinds of flowers is coming.
Didn’t Tian Hongli get a little shock?
He praised repeatedly: "What a great place, what a great place. I didn't realize that Mr. Chen is still an elegant person. The decoration of a farm is very poetic and picturesque with flowers and grass."
I felt like it in my heart. He secretly thought: No wonder so many people came to play here a while ago. I was also wondering if this farm is just a place where chickens, ducks and livestock are raised. What fun is there? It turns out that there is a whole other world here.
As a businessman who doesn't understand emotions, he feels that this place is indescribably good. His breath feels fresh and comfortable, and he feels like he doesn't want to leave after he comes.
Let alone anyone else.
Tian Hongli came here twice before. One was to conduct on-site inspections to see the quality of the fish, and the other was to pay deposits to the villagers. Because he was anxious to make money, his words and behavior were too philistine, so Chen Ling didn’t talk to him much. Negotiations, plus his eagerness to take advantage of the east wind brought by Lao Turtle to round up the local ornamental fish, did not linger too long.
So I have never been to Chen Ling’s farm. Today is the first time.
"What's indecent is just some wild flowers and weeds that I planted. I trim them when I'm free. I'm too lazy to take care of them when I'm busy." The two of them went to watch fish in the two canals on the west side of the farm.
The fine-scaled fish and the mullet fish were more valuable. Chen Ling was afraid that they would be eaten by birds and small animals that slipped into the farm, so he did not put them in the canals and lotus ponds to raise them.
Instead, a fine barbed wire fence was tied in the first half of the two canals to block them for cultivation.
There is a barbed wire fence above the water channel. There is also a barbed wire fence at the intersection of the water channel and the lotus pond and at the entrance of the waterway leading to the outside of the farm. They are really tightly guarded.
When Tian Hongli came closer and saw the situation, he immediately frowned even before he saw the fish with his own eyes.
I thought: "These two sections of canals are all covered with barbed wire. It's so uncomfortable for fish to be kept in them. Can this really raise good fish?"
The farm occupies a very large area, and although these two sections of the canal are only the first half, they are not short.
It is neither short nor short, let alone the fine-scaled fish. The mullet fish lives in the Yangtze River and is only kept in a small section of closed canals. Not to mention raising it well, if you are not careful, it will be extremely dangerous. Might be fed to death.
Do these two young men know anything about fish?
You also said that a big professor would come to buy the fish, not just the fish caught from the mountain, but you insist that you raised it yourself, which is a big deal, right?
That's what he thought in his heart, but when he squatted down and looked carefully into the ditch through the barbed wire fence, he was shocked again.
There are actually layers of black little fish fry in this ditch.
Fish fry are produced in this kind of canal?
Thinking of Chen Ling's potion, Tian Hongli's heart moved and he quickly said: "Brother Chen, can you fish out a few so that I can take a closer look? This fine salmon you are talking about, I really haven’t seen it before.”
“Okay, if you really want to buy aquatic products, I will not only let you see enough, but also let you eat enough. No matter what, you You have to try the fish and shrimp here to know for sure.”
“Oh, that’s great.”
Tian Hongli was surprised when he heard this.
Whether it was what the villagers said or what he heard from Little Sheep, he felt that Chen Ling, a young man, was not easy to fool. He seemed to be very capable and young. Otherwise, he If you are willing to do something, it is really useless if you don't eat soft and hard, and don't get oil and salt.
He didn’t expect to be able to have a meal at the farm today.
Chen Ling squatted down and opened the barbed wire with a smile, shouted to Erhei, and asked him to pick up the fishing net and small bucket. He immediately caught a few plump squid, and half of them by the way. Spoon the little fry that are growing up.
“This fry is...”
"Oh, these are the fry hatched from the fish roe produced this spring. There were fry last year too, and they have grown early."
Chen Ling pointed to the big fish and fry in the small bucket and said: "Boss Tian, look , the older ones are darker in color, and the younger ones are lighter in color. The lighter colored ones are just grown from last year’s fry.”
“The same is true for the mullet fish on the other side. The longer they are raised, the redder they become. , the more beautiful it is."
Tian Hongli quickly got up and looked in the winding ditch farther north. When he saw it, he exclaimed again: "Good guy, there are so many fry of mullet fish. ”
In this way, living in these two small canals is not only not uncomfortable, but also leads a nourishing life.
Each one was raised healthy, lively, fat and strong, and each ditch produced so many fry.
Tian Hongli glanced at Chen Ling unexpectedly and said to himself: This kid is really quite capable.
Think about what the black dog did just now with the keg and fishing net in its mouth, and think about the potion used to increase the survival rate of ornamental fish.
Immediately cursed secretly: Damn it, this guy is famous for raising dogs, but he didn’t expect that he could be so good at raising fish.
He should have thought of it from that potion.
I have been so obsessed with making money recently that I have forgotten all about it.
But he is not interested in pursuing Chen Ling's strange abilities. He just wants to make money quickly. So I walked back and forth between the two ditches, looked back and forth, thought about it carefully, and said to Chen Ling: "Brother Chen, I won't look at your other fish now. I'll go to your village brigade to ask and take a look at you first." What's the situation here? If there is trouble purchasing fish and shrimp in the village, I will try to get a fish from you first."
His idea is very simple, the reservoir and the river. The fish and shrimps here are ostensibly collectively owned by the village. Dealing with the village is not as enjoyable as dealing with each household, but is easy and quick.
Although the price here in Chen Ling will be a little higher, as long as the fish is of good quality, you will definitely not have to worry about selling it with the help of Lao Turtle.
And as long as the quality of the fish is good and combined with publicity and momentum, it will be easier to open up sales.
“Okay.”
Chen Ling nodded in agreement, which saved him from having to let Little Sheep test the market by himself.
After a brief chat, he and the little sheep sent Tian Hongli away from the farm.
"Xiao Fang, will you come with me?"
"No, I still have something to report to Uncle Fugui."
What Little Sheep wants to talk about is, of course, the situation of Liu Jiancheng selling apricots.
As soon as Tian Hongli walked away, he explained to Chen Ling in a low voice.
"Lao Liu's place sells quite quickly. People who came to buy salted eggs bought them by the way. He said that there was nothing visible in the two baskets, but everyone who tasted them said they were delicious. He was addicted to selling, and even bought the ones that Uncle Fugui brought to his house for him to eat."
Little Sheep chuckled and said, "He regretted selling it afterward, and asked me. Bring him some more next time you go over.”
Chen Ling also laughed when he heard this: "This old Liu, his wife was not happy for their family to do this at first, but now that they are doing business, they are really getting addicted."
Liu Jiancheng, who lives in the public family, The wife I married is not from a simple family.
Naturally, I look down upon this kind of business.
In the beginning, salted eggs were only given as gifts.
Later, his father-in-law and mother-in-law retired and had nothing to do, and the pickled salted eggs tasted so good, so they asked him to help buy this and bring this. Relatives, friends, and old leaders and colleagues all came to visit. After coming, the two old people felt very happy and felt that it was a great achievement to have so many people asking for help.
Later, when the money from selling was high and the pockets were bulging, it gradually got out of control, and the more he sold, the more addictive he became.
Business is like this. If you do it smoothly, you will have a sense of accomplishment and make money. Then it will become smoother and smoother. It seems to have an attractive magic power.
If it doesn’t go well at the beginning, it’s over. Everything goes wrong. No matter what you do, it’s a mess.
Chen Ling took the money from the apricots sold by Little Sheep and stuffed it into his pocket without counting: "Tell Lao Liu that you can go back to your hometown when you have time and come to my orchard to eat whatever you want. What should we say? We are also together. We should get together more when we have free time.”
“I understand.”
The little sheep now obeys Chen Ling's words.
He also knew that Chen Ling was not really interested in the orchard. It was just like the food grown at home. When it was ripe, he harvested it and sold it for money. That's all.
"Uncle Fugui, what kind of box is this, and why is it still hanging on the tree?"
The little sheep was suddenly stunned and found that it was on a tree in the farm, among the thick branches and leaves. There was also a strange big wooden box hanging, and I was immediately curious.
“Oh, that’s the bird box for the kite to live in. The trees on my farm are too young and there is no suitable tree hole. I built a bird box for it to make it more comfortable, otherwise it will always let the kite live. He sleeps standing up on the eagle stick, which is very pitiful.”
Chen Ling has recently been thinking about catching two pairs of little pigeons from the village and raising them. This year, those pigeons are hatching pigeons again. At this time of year, they will hatch, and then they will also make a nest similar to a bird box for them to live in, and then slowly cultivate them. It's okay to bring out a few homing pigeons or ornamental pigeons.
“It turns out to be the kite’s nest. Has it found a mate?”
“Not yet. Let’s wait another year or two. We can keep it like this first. It won’t work anymore. I'll think of a way to catch a male kite and pair it up."
Chen Ling smiled, thinking on his face.
When the little sheep saw this, he said: Uncle Fugui is really more concerned about these things.
Then he helped Chen Ling go out to fish for fish and shrimps, catch eels and loaches, and cook a river dinner for noon.
While letting Tian Hongli have a taste, he should also reward the little sheep.
Two months have passed, and Chen Ling is still very satisfied with this kid's performance.
“Woof woof woof~”
The two of them were busy catching most of the bucket of fish, when Erhei suddenly ran over from the foot of the mountain screaming.
Heiwa Xiaojin followed Wang Susu to the village, and both of them became Rui Rui's followers. Today, only Erhei and the little cat were at home, and the other dogs followed Wang Cunye to herd the sheep.
Erhei's dog's personality is really not suitable for being a hunting dog.
I worry too much all day long, running around. When planting flowers and vegetables, it has to join in the fun and help dig holes to pick up the seeds and vegetable seedlings. When fishing for fish, it also has to go into the water to help drive away the fish. It is very responsible.
Wang Cunye said helplessly, "You are a dog, why are you so busy every day? You are busier than humans."
Today I just watched Chen Ling cleaning up the spring by himself at the foot of the mountain. There was no one at the farm, so he didn't feel comfortable following him out, so he stayed behind to look after the house with the little cat.
At this time, the barking began, and I didn’t know what was going on.
Chen Ling saw that it was wet and holding a white object at his feet. He thought it was a bird's egg. However, when he took a closer look, he found that it was not a bird's egg. The bird's egg was oval and very special. A standard circle, white, two circles smaller than a table tennis ball.
"Oh? This is the old turtle egg. Have you found the old turtle egg?"
Erhei put down the turtle egg and was still barking, trying to get Chen Ling to go over.
Chen Ling picked up the turtle eggs and smiled at the little sheep, "Let's go over and have a look."
The old turtles that can lay eggs don't even have a small head. They usually weigh several kilograms, but it's a big harvest.
The two of them followed Erhei with buckets to the vicinity of the small river ditch.
Erhei first ran to the grass and tossed around for a while, and soon dug out a few white turtle eggs with his claws. Adding the one in Chen Ling's hand, there were five in total.
With just a few of them, Chen Ling knew that this old turtle must not have finished laying eggs yet, so he thought about filling and smoothing the pit of the old turtle, and catching it when it came back to lay eggs at night. .
However, before he could take any action, Erhei finished slicing the old turtle egg and ran to the edge of the creek, barking non-stop in one direction.
Chen Ling slapped his forehead when he saw this: "I know, the squirrels have been shipped."
He then hurried over and took the two squirrels out of the river. At a glance, he had indeed been caught There was an old turtle the size of a bowl, and the other cage was also empty. It was filled with eels, loaches, and assorted small fish and shrimps.
When the little sheep saw that the two bearded cages had a good harvest, they praised: "Erhei is amazing. He discovered that there is an old turtle in the caged cages, and he can also find out where it lays its eggs."
Hearing this, Chen Ling smiled and touched Erhei's dog's head: "Haha, its temperament is not suitable for being a hunting dog, but its nose is still very useful."
The bearded cage that was casually laid out two days ago can be so fast. Catching an old turtle can be considered an unexpected gain.
There is definitely enough ingredients for a whole table of river food feast at noon today.
Back at the farm, Chen Ling steamed a pot of white rice, and then washed and packed the things with Little Sheep.
But when Chen Ling was about to go to the kitchen to cook, Erhei led Wang Cunye back in a hurry and started barking when he came in.
Wang Cunye also shouted at the door of the farm: "Lingzi, come out quickly, the boss of the fish field is about to start a fight."
