Su Jing and Su Liang went out by boat and could see the farm floating on the sea in the distance, which looked like a small island from a distance.
In fact, real seawater farms have strict requirements on various aspects, such as wind shelter, water temperature, salinity, tidal speed, etc. Otherwise, the survival rate and growth rate of the fish will be very unsatisfactory, eventually leading to losses. Generally speaking, it is absolutely undesirable to build a building like Su Jing's in the middle of a sea with strong waves, so this makes many neighbors feel strange.
"Ah Jing, come and see a lot of fish."
"Ah Jing, this fishing method is really awesome."
When Su Jing arrived, everyone greeted her warmly and looked extremely excited.
A young man with short crew-cut hair stepped forward and said politely: "Brother Jing."
Su Jing smiled: "Ahu, you're here so quickly. Follow me and work hard from now on. I won't treat you badly."
This young man was Su Hu, Su Zhenqiao's son. He deliberately saluted with a military salute: "Yes", which made everyone laugh.
Su Jing jumped onto the fish platform from the fishing boat and looked over. She couldn't help but smile. She felt very satisfied. The entire fish platform was like a huge ship plank, spread out on the sea, but there were ten big holes in it. , there are ten cages with a diameter of ten meters respectively. The surrounding nine cages are surrounded by trap entrances that can be entered and cannot be exited. The center one is a real breeding cage. According to Su Jing's design, these wooden boards are suspended on floats, half a meter above the sea surface. The wooden boards are very thick and strong. Even if a shark attacks, it is safe to stand on the wooden boards.
Su Jing walked past the fish platform and praised: "Your craftsmanship is really good and the construction is very good."
Su Liang smiled and said: "Thanks to Xiaolin's learning of carpentry, he almost became a carpenter. His craftsmanship is of course first-class."
Su Xiaolin said modestly: "No, my craftsmanship is not as good as that of a real carpenter."
Su Xiaolin's father was a carpenter. He could even make very delicate chairs, sofas and wooden doors. His craftsmanship was well-known far and wide. Under the influence of Su Xiaolin's influence, Su Xiaolin also became very good at carpentry. Although he was not as good as his father, he was no exception to building a fish platform.
Su Jing smiled and said: "Everyone has worked hard, go collect the fish, sell them and give everyone a bonus."
After saying this, everyone became excited. They came to the three cages where meatballs were placed and many fish were trapped, and began to close the nets. Su Jing took a closer look and was startled. There were too many. Maybe it was because this time the fishing net was no longer on the shore, but in the center of the sea. It was easier to attract fish from all directions. A net with a diameter of ten meters The cages are densely packed with various kinds of fish, and each cage contains at least hundreds of kilograms.
Because there were too many fish, I was worried that the cage would not be able to bear them, so I could only collect them carefully while using the net bag. Everyone seemed to have been tapped on the smile hole, grinning while fishing. I have never had such a big harvest in fishing in my life.
"What a monster!" Su Hua suddenly screamed and almost lost his net bag. Everyone looked over and saw a moving "stone" at the bottom of the cage. It had many tumor-like protrusions on its surface, which looked like a toad's skin. It looked weird and disgusting.
"It's a strange fish, catch it quickly." Su Liang and Su Xiaolin ran over excitedly. They didn't know what kind of fish it was, but since they caught a monster-like anglerfish last time, they actually bought it for tens of thousands of yuan. , they have an unusual feeling for the strange fish.
"Be careful, this is a stone fish, it's poisonous." Su Jing has never seen this kind of fish with her own eyes, but she has seen it when she was looking at people and nature. Because it is very strange, she remembers it clearly.
"Damn, no way." Su Liang and Su Xiaolin were startled and stopped quickly.
"Not only is it poisonous, it is also deadly." Su Jing quickly gave them some popular science. Stonefish is a very toxic fish in nature, and its "fatal sting" is described as the most painful sting to humans.
Stonefish like to hide on the seabed or under rocks, disguising themselves as an inconspicuous stone. If someone steps on it accidentally, it will fight back immediately and emit deadly poison. The 12 to 14 sharp needle-like back spines on its back will easily penetrate the thorns on the soles of shoes. Entering the soles of the feet, the person is quickly poisoned and remains in severe pain until death.
"What should we do, let it go?" Su Liang asked.
"Of course you can't let it go. Although the stonefish is poisonous and ugly, its meat is tender and has no thorns. It has high nutritional value. It has medicinal effects of promoting body fluids and moisturizing the lungs. People with bad skin can eat it to beautify their skin." After the fish fat is dried in the sun, it is processed into fish maw for making soup. It is smooth in the mouth and becomes a delicacy on the banquet, which is comparable to the best shark fins and bird's nests." Su Jing said with a smile.
"How much is that worth?" Su Liang, Su Xiaolin and others' eyes lit up. Sure enough, the strange fish were not cheap.
"I don't know the current market price, but it should be at least two hundred and one catty. If it is sold to a big hotel, the price should be higher." Su Jing said.
"Then do it no matter what, just be careful not to let it touch it." Su Liang, Su Xiaolin and others immediately forgot their fear. This stone fish weighs only three or four pounds, which is more than six hundred pounds. How could they let it go
Everyone took the fish cage and net bag, carefully put the stone fish in it, and pulled it up. As the cage continued to be pulled upward, I discovered that there were large pieces of stonefish at the bottom. I fished them all out, a total of twenty-five fish, with a total weight of more than forty kilograms.
"Hey, what kind of snail is this?" Su Jing found an unknown snail, which was crawling along the mesh. The shell was very beautiful, spirally coiled, with a smooth, gray-white appearance, and many orange-red ripples at the back. . Su Jing was a little curious, so she took a bucket and packed it up.
It took nearly an hour to catch all the fish in the three cages, which was estimated to exceed 1,000 kilograms in total.
The first catch in this fishing ground was undoubtedly a bumper harvest. It only used three cages and three meatballs. If nine cages were used together, it can be imagined. Of course, it may not necessarily be three times as many. After all, there is always an upper limit on the number of fish.
Su Jing selected a few of each type of fish and shrimp and threw them into the breeding cage in the center, while the others were moved ashore.
Many villagers came up curiously. In the past, even if Su Jing caught a lot of fish, the villagers would be envious and surprised, but they would not pay too much attention to it. But it is different now. Those who follow Su Jing earn 5,000 yuan a month. Regarding salary, everyone wanted to see if Su Jing earned enough and whether she could afford it. In particular, the parents and relatives of the young men who followed Su Jing were even more concerned.
But when they saw Su Jing and others bringing in big baskets of fish, they were completely dumbfounded.
"Wow, how do you catch so many fish?"
“There are also many large lobsters, abalones, and sea crabs among them.”
"What kind of monster is that stone like thing?"
Seeing the villagers marveling, Su Liang, Su Xiaolin, Su Hu and others couldn't help but raise their heads and feel proud. They chose to follow Su Jing before, and some elders were not optimistic about it. They thought that the monthly salary of 5,000 yuan must be a trap. Now See who is right.
Su Jing called Zhao Zhi and Qian Shufeng. This time, they did not come in person, but they immediately sent people. They took away the precious seafood at a high price, and asked the wholesale market to take away other ordinary marine fish.
Calculated in this way, the harvest from this fishing trip was actually as high as 80,000 yuan, and Su Jing was not stingy at all. She distributed 40,000 yuan to Su Liang, Su Xiaolin, Su Hu and other eight people, paying one month's salary in advance, and Each person was given a bonus of two hundred.
This made the parents and relatives of Su Liang, Su Xiaolin and others completely relieved, while other villagers were envious and wanted to join in. Unfortunately, they already had enough manpower.
"Didn't Ah Jing build a breeding farm? How come the fish were harvested so quickly?" Su Hai soon heard some rumors and couldn't help asking people familiar with the matter.
"It is said that it is not a breeding ground, but a new technology fishing ground brought back from outside. I heard that it has not been completely built yet. I just tried using it for one day and made 80,000 yuan. It is really amazing. I went to university and was educated and knowledgeable. The technical skills of the people are different, they are even better at fishing than us. It’s a pity that he has no shortage of manpower, otherwise I have to beg him to let me join.”
"..." Su Hai was completely dumbfounded and almost regretted it. Su Jing had agreed to let Su Zhenqiao's son join in front of him before. If he asked, Su Jing would definitely not be able to refuse, but now it's too late.
