Chapter 754: Putting fish in the shed
The process of stocking mushrooms, a mushroom material, takes about four or five days.
After sterilization and fermentation, these culture materials can be put into bags for the introduction of mushrooms.
Now that the weather is cooler, these preparations will go smoothly.
If you do this in late autumn, sometimes the temperature is high, and you need to prevent the mushroom bag from being damaged after putting the culture materials into the bag.
You have to go to a cool place to cool down the fungi, and then you can introduce them after they cool down.
The temperature doesn’t matter now.
After directly filling the bag, it can be cooled overnight.
Before the mushrooms are finished, the vegetable seeds in the vegetable greenhouse have already sprouted. ·
Chen Ling went inside to observe, and then began to divert water into the ditch dug in the greenhouse to complete the 'aquaponics' system he planned.
This thing is ready-made and relatively easy to get.
There is also an iron can water tanker in the village, which is pulled by animals and carries water to the greenhouse.
This day was the wedding day of the Li family in the village, and not many people came to help Chen Ling.
That is, Mr. Wu, the old apprentice, brought people here.
There are also two Wang Lixian and Wang Jusheng, as well as Zhao Yubao and his family.
There are no other people.
He Jiawen and the others have been running diligently to Xishan Mountain these days. They think there are new species on the peak of Xishan Mountain, and even the red-crowned cranes have been put aside, so they did not come.
But that doesn’t matter. No one is here. All the animals in the village are here. Carrying water is not a tedious and complicated job, it’s just a lot of tossing back and forth.
If you have livestock and water bottles, then it’s no problem.
In addition, Mr. Wu and others, during their time in the village, based on the suggestions of He Jiawen and others, gradually improved their health.
Everyone is happy to come to work to exert some energy and stretch their muscles.
As long as you come, no one will be lazy.
So in one morning, all the ditches in the greenhouse were filled.
The water used is the water from the reservoir.
Anyway, the total area of two acres is not very large. If it were not for waiting for water to seep inside and Chen Ling to fish out the fish to be stocked, it would take at most two hours to complete.
"Master, the fish you put there don't seem right?"
Mr. Wu saw that the fish Chen Ling caught in the bucket were all small fish with bright colors and their scales were a little reflective in the sun. He hurriedly shouted to Chen Ling.
“What’s wrong?”
“Didn’t you say you won’t release the fry? These fry take up so much space!”
“This is not a fry, it’s a flower handkerchief. They are the native species of betta fish in mainland China. The ones I raise are new species from crossbreeds.”
Chen Ling explained: "Have you seen it? The colors and types vary so much!"
"Ah? Why do you want to raise this? Aren't fighting fish very cheap?" Wu Laoyi The gang looked at each other.
Today’s bettas are often not as good as those of later generations. Those so-called popular species have not yet appeared, and people are not very enthusiastic about playing bettas for viewing.
"Yes, Xiao Chen, where we are, we catch a lot of these small fish, and no one wants them."
Hearing this, Chen Ling smiled and said: "They are not for sale. , I just keep them for fun and get rid of bugs in the greenhouse. It’s warm in the greenhouse. As you can see, flies and mosquitoes are starting to appear now..."
"In addition, you have also seen that most of the fish I raise are new varieties of ornamental fish, or new varieties. There are only two or three kinds of edible fish."
Chen Ling now has only two or three types of fish. The koi are not going to be put into the greenhouse. Basically, all the ornamental fish from other homes are fished out and have to be put in.
Goldfish, fighting fish, loach, mountain catfish, luminous fish, etc. with various colors and appearances were all fished out by Chen Ling and prepared to be kept here.
These fish are not only pleasing to the eye, but Chen Ling also found that they have a special feature, that is, they are very effective at killing insects and poop a lot.
The pest control effect is strong, which can reduce mosquitoes and pests in the greenhouse on a large scale. If you poop a lot, the accumulation of fish feces can also increase the fertility of vegetables.
Goldfish and glow-in-the-dark fish poop the most here. When Chen Ling fished it into the bucket, he could poop a layer of fish excrement at the bottom of the bucket in just one meal.
The glow-in-the-dark fish he kept in the tank outside the living room had not been taken care of for half a year. The fish feces inside had turned into a thick layer of black mud, and there were small shrimps and snails tumbling inside. The scene was simply terrifying.
So Chen Ling decided not to keep it in the tank, but just put it in the greenhouse.
Besides, the types of edible fish are carps and fire heads.
The fire head is also the black fish.
This thing has few spines and tender meat. It is very suitable for making pickled fish and other dishes. It is very delicious.
When Mr. Wu heard their unique name for black fish, he even dropped his book bag.
It is said that their name "Fire Head" is a transliteration of "Snake Head".
Because the black fish has python patterns all over its body and its head looks like a snake, it is also called snakehead fish!
“These fish are very beautiful. I have never seen many of them. Betta fish cannot be sold for money. I think these goldfish, as well as uniquely colored loaches and catfish, will be very popular outside!< br>
Xiao Chen, why don't you just pick out the ones that can be sold at a high price, just keep them mixed up? "
A middle-aged lady from Wandao said that she thought it was a pity.
"It is not used at the moment. Sister Mei, you don't know. Last year, the thousand-year-old turtle here spread the news. At that time, the goldfish we gave away were pretty good-looking, but I don’t know how expensive those sold outside were.
Now is not a good time to send these out. It’s okay to keep them mixed here. Anyway, the breed is like this and will not go wild or degenerate. "
Chen Ling smiled.
After ordinary goldfish are thrown into the wild, in order to adapt to survival in the wild environment, the second generation will all degenerate into wild colors.
These fish have their genes stabilized by Dongtian Lingshui.
It will only degrade after at least three generations.
So don’t worry.
Old Wu said: "My master has never seen anything, so there is no need to say more about this."
Then he said with a flattering smile: "Master, when we leave, can you give me some fish?"
"Okay, you can choose these fish as you like, but you have to think about these fish. How can we bring it back easily? We can transport it to our city for oxygen, but we will probably have to find another place to get oxygen every once in a while," Chen Ling reminded them.
This is how the arowanas shipped from the coast are made.
Arowana is more delicate, and the problem of stress during transportation must be considered.
"Then we'll take the water route and ask someone to transport it back from the boat." Mr. Wu patted his chest.
"That's okay."
On this point, Chen Ling is not worried about them. Anyone in the family has more connections than himself.
"Fugui, Fugui, come here quickly. Look at this photo."
Zhao Yubao hurriedly walked over and handed a photo to Chen Ling, "It's Sun Yat-sen who opened the restaurant with you. The boss is back, and he brought this back. Does it look like an old turtle from the village?”
"This is not what it looks like, this is what it is!"
Chen Ling was shocked when he saw it. Where did Suan Tou and his gang go? No wonder they couldn't call him out these days.
“Where is this?”
“Tortoise City, wasn’t it said before that there was also a big tortoise in Tortoise City? I thought it was just to fool people.”
“I’ve heard about this too!”
Chen Ling not only heard that when he was buying building materials before building his greenhouse, he also went to take a look. The water there was shallow and the rivers were cut off in many places.
That big tortoise is far different in size from Garlic and the others.
Did they swim through the underground river?
Unbelievable.
"Where is Sun Yanhong?" Chen Ling asked quickly.
"I'm taking people to the brigade. It's almost the end of the year. Some of the fish, crayfish, etc. from the reservoir have not yet been settled. I have to calculate the money for the brigade."
"Oh, um, wait. Let's talk about it after she's finished. Let's go put the fish in the greenhouse first."
Chen Ling thought for a while and was not in a hurry, so he went to put the fish in the greenhouse with a few buckets of fish.
It is noon now, and Wang Jusheng and the others have already gone to the wedding place first.
Chen Ling doesn't plan to go. He just wants to take a walk in the afternoon or evening and show his face.
Anyway, the money was given to me.
In the morning, some wild boar meat was sent over.
For someone who gave me such a big piece of tofu, it’s enough to give me some gifts in return.
When we got to the greenhouse, we put the fish in. The water in the ditch has not settled well yet and is not clear enough, so we can’t see the fish in it.
Chen Ling and the others did not have the intention to appreciate these fish right now.
Discussing what to have for lunch.
When he delivered meat to the wedding party in the morning, he also went to the county town and gave some stewed meat to Wang Zhenzhen and Liang Hongyu. When he came back, he bought fried dough sticks.
Make some soup at noon, either broth or vegetarian soup. Boil the pot and cook the fried dough sticks. It is also quite delicious.
A few people discussed it and decided that they had been eating a lot of meat recently, so let’s have vegetarian soup at noon.
We agreed to go home, and Sun Yanhong came over just in time.
She knew that Chen Ling's family liked to eat roast chicken from the market, so she brought two specially.
That’s just right. We have soup and vegetables. Just heat up a few steamed buns and you’re done.
“It’s the end of the year, and business has picked up. Do you think it’s strange?”
Speaking of the restaurants in the city, Sun Yanhong rubbed her head: “I asked Yu Bangjin and the others to pay for it today. I stared, I just came back, I have to take a rest."
"Is it because there are more people eating pots?" Chen Ling asked.
Winter is here, which is the time to eat hot pot, shabu-shabu and other types of pots.
"No, on the contrary, there are a lot of stir-fried dishes. The menu you gave them, those people ordered it over and over again, and they never get tired of it."
Sun Yanhong said speechlessly: "Otherwise I wouldn't either It feels strange.”
“Tsk, it’s really strange. All the things I have carefully prepared are of no use.”
Chen Ling was also scratching his head. He had carefully prepared the pot. , so was the bamboo rat meat before, what’s the result? There wasn't much movement, except for the spirited guys who were fighting dogs, there wasn't much else going on.
He was also convinced.
"What's going on, old turtle? Why did you go to Bastard City? You even had someone take a picture of it. Is this on the news again?"
Chen Ling thought of the photo just now and hurriedly asked.
“It’s not on the news, and I’m not in Bastard City. It’s still far away from there. Now there’s no water in the river of Bastard City. People say it’s from the big river in the mountains in the northeast corner of Kuliu County. Many people in the past started clamoring for Prince Turtle to patrol again. "
Sun Yanhong said: "I'm coming back to rest for a few days, and I plan to go over and have a look. You can take Susu and the dolls with you. ”
"I'll forget it, the mushrooms haven't been planted, so I can't go out these days."
If Chen Ling wanted to go there, he would go there by himself to see what was going on, but the garlic and the others had grown to such an extent that there were Sometimes he has his own ideas, but he usually doesn't interfere.
“Besides, Zhenzhen will have her final exam soon. After the exam, our family will have to go back to Fenglei Town.”
When he was having dinner this morning, he talked about seeing off Wang Zhenzhen and Xiao Zhenzhen. When Qing Ma went back, Wang Susu also felt a little homesick and wanted to go back and visit.
Wang Cunye said that’s great. It happened to be a banquet for the two little kids, so he called all his relatives and friends over. Anyone who wanted to come could come and have a good time.
Sun Yanhong patted her head after hearing this: "Okay, as soon as you said this, I remembered something. Bo Ming went to the city yesterday to ask me to buy English reading materials for Zhenzhen. I forgot about it, so I just remembered to buy roast chicken."
Chen Ling smiled nonchalantly and said: "It's okay. It doesn't matter if I buy it a few days later. I won't be busy after the mushrooms are planted. I will send her to Fenglei Town."
"Okay, there's one more thing, Li Xian, your Wu Ni'er has gone off early for winter vacation, and she asked me to find a job for her. The little girl probably wants to save money to save tuition for her family. What do you think? ..."
"Huh?"
Wang Lixian and Liu Nier had just returned from the meal and were immediately stunned when they heard this.
