Alpine Orchard - Chapter 275

[Chapter 275 Big Green Prawn]

summer solstice is over.

The already hot weather felt even hotter.

Even though the temperature is about the same, it feels like there is a little more anger.

Feel it, this summer is much hotter than last year.

Early in the morning, Ye Mo and his father-in-law went out to catch crayfish in cages again.

Now the daily shipment of crayfish is controlled at about 1,500 catties. There are fewer and fewer large freshwater prawns, and most of them are 4 yuan and 5 yuan.

In addition, the number of shrimp seedlings is more.

Zhang Wenhua came over very early, pulled Ye Mo aside, and whispered: “The quality of the crayfish here has dropped a lot. They are smaller in size, have a bit more fishy smell, and the meat is not as firm as before. Yes Isn’t it because of the feed?”

“This…” Ye Mo also knew something was wrong, the crayfish are not as tasty as before, and said: “It is probably because of the overfeed.”

“The batch of crayfish today I have to stop harvesting for a period of time. Wait for the crayfish to grow a little more… In addition, if the quality cannot be restored, the price will also be lowered. In recent days, my customers have been very dissatisfied.” Zhang Wenhua said: “We must No, catch crayfish in the small reservoir?”

“Let’s stop fishing for a while.” Ye Mo said, “There aren’t many crayfish in the reservoir, and I’m going to grow one or two shrimp.”

“All right, I caught it today. Stop fishing for a while.” Zhang Wenhua sighed, and said, “I’ll come and collect the crayfish after they recover or grow   bigger

.”

All the aquatic plants have been eaten and exposed, and there is only one aquatic plant and vine left. Then the feed was increased, and hundreds of liters of spiritual springs were poured into the reservoir.

With enough feed, crayfish still prefer to eat feed.

Up to now, the aquatic plants have grown again, but the taste of crayfish is not as good as before.

“How much do the crayfish in the small reservoir weigh?”

“Basically more than 6 yuan, and there are also seven or eight yuan.” Ye Mo said: “Four or five yuan, there should be none.”

“The crayfish in the small reservoir have not been raised. ”

“No…” Ye Mo said in embarrassment.

In the pursuit of production, you have to give up quality. If you want to pursue quality, you have to give up production…

Ye Mo is going to raise one or two shrimps, and he will have to raise them for more than a month or two. The longer the crayfish grows, the slower it will be. Otherwise, the bigger the crayfish, the more expensive it will be.

“I have a very important customer who complained to me about the quality of crayfish. He mainly collects large freshwater shrimp. Can you get me a few hundred catties so that I can maintain the relationship with him.” Zhang Wenhua said: “Maintaining important customers You will also benefit.”

“How much?”

“If we supply all the freshwater shrimp, he can eat more than a thousand catties a day. Now, two to three hundred catties a day is enough. He has just developed An important client…”

“Okay, I’ll get it for you.” Ye Mo said with a smile.

The crayfish in the large reservoir have not decreased significantly. But the number of small and middle-aged youth is too much. There are also shrimp fry, too many.

Ye Mo turned around and took four large ground cages, put the bait in, drove to the small reservoir, and threw the ground cages down.

“Dad.” Ye Mo called Lin Shan.

“What?”

“Don’t put the shrimp seedlings back, send them to the small reservoir.” Ye Mo said, “The density of crayfish in the small reservoir is much smaller.”

“Well, good.”

Small reservoir The crayfish are the first to lay eggs.

At the end of March and the beginning of April, the crayfish with eggs caught from the large reservoir… The crayfish here are basically 6 yuan, and a few are 6 or 7 yuan.

Zhang Wenhua first fished out a few to measure the length, and then weighed them. Specifications, very uniform…

“Otherwise, the crayfish in this reservoir should be sold at all.” Zhang Wenhua said: “There is still time to raise one or two shrimps.”

Zhang Wenhua meant to sell the crayfish in the reservoir quickly. There are too many shrimp seedlings in the big reservoir. After they are sold out, they should be cleared and raised again.

“30 yuan per catty?” Ye Mo said.

“The price of 30 yuan is already very high.” Zhang Wenhua said with a sincere face, “I’m selling these big freshwater prawns to earn some hard money.”

“Really?” Ye Mo said with a look of disbelief expression.

“Why do you do it cheaply? Well, I have to earn some…”

Ye Mo nodded with a smile: “The crayfish here must be shipped quickly, so I can raise the second batch.”

“Okay. I Now call and ask…” Zhang Wenhua went under the coconut tree, took out his mobile phone to contact the customer, made more than a dozen calls in a row, and came back: “I will arrange a car to come over immediately, and it will carry 3000 catties. How about it, enough Alright.”

“Three thousand catties, it’s okay.” Ye Mo then called the old man and asked him to put the shrimp seedlings back into the large reservoir.

Wait until the crayfish fishing here is almost done, and then catch the shrimp seedlings and transfer them over.

A thousand catties of Zhongqing has already been loaded into the car.

Ground cages, net cages, etc., are all transported here.

The large reservoir is more than seventy acres. The water level of the small reservoir is almost full now, and it is about 60 mu, which is not too small. Even the water on the side of the small reservoir is shallower. As far as crayfish farming is concerned, the usable water surface area is larger than that of the large reservoir.

The small reservoir has been controlling the amount of feed fed.

Back then, the water plant spores bought by Ye Mo were put into the entire reservoir. In one winter, under the action of the Lingquan, the entire reservoir grew water plants.

Because the amount of feed is controlled, the crayfish can’t eat enough, so they naturally eat aquatic plants. As a result, there are fewer aquatic plants around the small reservoir. The middle area is dense with aquatic plants…

and crayfish mostly like to be in shallow water areas.

It’s relatively easy to catch crayfish. The crayfish here have uniform specifications, and they can be packed directly without screening when they are caged in the ground.

Three thousand catties of large-sized crayfish can be packed in two hours.

It was past eleven.

Zhang Wenhua has just verified that these crayfish have not been ‘polluted’. When packing the crayfish, Zhang Wenhua brought more than a dozen crayfish to Ye Mo’s house, boiled them… and tasted them. It tastes the same as the crayfish before, even… the taste is better.

“I’ll be back tomorrow morning.” Zhang Wenhua got into the aquatic product car and was about to follow the car to leave. He poked his head out, looked at Ye Mo and waved.

Ye Mo also waved his hand.

Sell these crayfish now… It feels like it should be said to be about the same.

There is still a certain risk in growing a tael of freshwater shrimp. The current temperature is high, even if it is cultivated in a reservoir here, the shells of some crayfish have changed color and turned into red shells.

It will take at least 2 months to raise 6 yuan to 10 yuan. These two months, the temperature is the hottest time of the year… If it turns into a red shell…the green shell costs 55 yuan per catty, and the red shell is estimated to be only about 47 yuan.

It is sold now, and I will raise another batch when I have time. If it is raised until November, if the quality is good, it can be sold at a higher price.
