Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 78 Fish Pond Completion
The National Day holiday is coming to an end soon, and Li Qian is going back to the county to study.

Zhao Lei took the initiative to send the girl to school, and then went home to continue the experiment of saving Xianlu.The canola has been soaking in the gourd space for two days and it's time to sow.

Zhao Lei opened up a small area in the yard and planted all these vegetables.I deliberately did not water it with fairy dew, and observed the growth of the vegetable seeds.

What comforted Zhao Lei was that all the vegetable seeds germinated the next day, which was about the same speed as watering with fairy dew, which made him see the dawn of hope.

While Zhao Lei was doing experiments, two projects were also under construction.After more than a month of hard work, the fish pond is almost complete.

Two large, two small, and four cement fish ponds are neatly arranged on the land near the river.The small building next to it is almost finished, and the workers are doing some finishing work.

Zhao Lei and Hu Qiang inspected every fish pond. Even the picky Hu Qiang was very satisfied with the construction quality. He smiled and said to Zhao Lei, "The quality of this project is not bad. It seems that my cousin really didn't cut corners!"

This was heard by Hu Jun who had just arrived, and he pretended to be quick: "I said Hu Qiang, we are cousins ​​after all, why don't you have any confidence in me and always doubt me?"

Hu Qiang gave Hu Jun an angry look and said, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's that I don't believe all the engineering team bosses!"

Seeing that the two brothers were about to fight again, Zhao Lei quickly smoothed things over: "Let's not talk about this, Boss Hu, can we put water in the fish pond now?"

"Of course!" Hu Jun, who was still angry, gave his cousin a glance and said, "Let's release the water now, and let some people see if there is anything wrong with the project I, Hu Jun built!"

Under the command of Hu Jun, several water pumps all started to work, pumping water into the fish pond at the same time.Seeing the water level in the fish pond gradually rise, Zhao Lei was also full of anticipation.After these fish ponds are put into use, he will have another source of income.

The power of the water pump is very high, and it didn't take long for several fish ponds to be filled with water.Hu Jun marked the water level. As long as the water level does not drop significantly after two days, it means that there is no problem with the quality of the fish pond.

Facts have proved that Hu Jun's project is still very reliable. After two days, the water level has not changed much, indicating that there is no leakage in the fish pond and it can be put into use.

Hu Qiang was also very satisfied with the result, and asked Zhao Lei with a smile: "Leizi, now that there is a fish pond, what kind of fish do you plan to raise?"

Zhao Lei had already made plans for this, and replied without thinking: "One of the fish ponds raises soft-shelled turtles, and the others plan to raise some mandarin fish first. Now hurry up and put the fish fry in, and raise them until the Spring Festival when the price is the highest. , there should be some profit."

Hu Qiang murmured: "It's October now, and I can only raise it for four months at most. I'm afraid the gain outweighs the loss."

Of course, Zhao Lei couldn't tell Hu Qiang Xianlu about it, so he just smiled and said, "Uncle Hu, have you forgotten my classmate? With his help, the fish can grow a lot in four months!"

Now that Zhao Lei said so, Hu Qiang did not object, and nodded slightly: "Then we must hurry up and buy the fry as soon as possible."

In fact, without Hu Qiang's reminder, Zhao Lei would do the same.After he practiced that night, he started to catch those small turtles that had just hatched in the streams and ponds in the calabash space.

These small turtles are used to Zhao Lei feeding them food, so it is not difficult to catch them.He put food into traps woven with bamboo strips, then submerged the traps in the water, and caught more than 200 small turtles in a short time.

Raising soft-shelled turtles does not require a very deep water level. Zhao Lei drained more than half of the water in a fish pond, and placed some stones and stakes around the fish pond so that the soft-shelled turtles can climb up to bask in the sun, and then put All the small turtles caught were put in.

These soft-shelled turtles are used to the aura-rich environment in the gourd space, but they are not used to it when they are suddenly taken to the outside world. They all lie motionless on the water, not as lively as in the gourd space.

However, Zhao Lei was prepared, and immediately took out the purple gold gourd, and carefully poured two drops of fairy dew into the fish pond.The golden fairy dew quickly spread out and completely dissolved in the water in an instant.

It turned out that the lazy soft-shelled turtle changed immediately and began to swim around in the water looking for food, and several of them climbed up the stones and tree stumps to bask in the sun comfortably.

After the soft-shelled turtle is settled, Zhao Lei plans to buy mandarin fish fry and use all the fish ponds as soon as possible.He asked several places, and finally found a fish farm less than [-] kilometers away from Sanhe Village, where there happened to be a batch of mandarin fish fry for sale.

In fact, it was too late to start fish farming at this time, and the owner of the fish farm was anxious to sell the batch of fry, and the price he offered was very cheap.Fish fry with a length of seven or eight centimeters are not too small, but for only two yuan each, Zhao Lei can be considered a bargain.

The owner of the fishing ground told Zhao Lei that the most suitable stocking density for mandarin fish is [-] to [-] fish per mu of water surface.Excluding the fish pond where the soft-shelled turtles were raised, Zhao Lei still has nearly two acres of water surface, and it is almost enough to raise a thousand mandarin fish.

However, Zhao Lei intends to use Xianlu to raise fish, so of course he doesn't need to follow the normal breeding method.He bought [-] fish fry in one go, and put them into one large, two small and three fish ponds.

The weather this year is a bit strange, the temperature is still very high after the National Day.Although the transportation time was not long, the condition of the fry was not very good after being exposed to the sun for more than two hours.

After being put into the fish pond, many fish fry were floating on the water, and some of them had their belly upturned. Hu Qiang was so anxious that he wandered around the fish pond, muttering to himself worriedly: "What should I do?" Woolen cloth……"

Compared with anxious Hu Qiang, Zhao Lei is much calmer.Taking advantage of the opportunity when others were not paying attention, he quietly added Xianlu to the fish pond.As the dew spread rapidly in the water, the condition of the fry immediately began to improve.

Many fry returned to normal and dived into the water to swim and look for food.Even those fry with their belly turned upside down gradually started to swim, and finally dived into the water like others of their kind and disappeared.

Of the [-] mandarin fish fry that Zhao Lei bought, none of them died after being transported for a long distance under the scorching sun. This is definitely a miracle!

Hu Qiang was not worried anymore, and said to Zhao Lei with a smile on his face: "This must be the credit of your classmate again. The young people nowadays are really amazing. Compared with him, we farmers are nothing but waste!"

Zhao Lei smiled and said, "Look at what you said, no matter how good the technology my classmate provided, someone has to work in the field by himself. How come farmers become waste?"

When it came to work, Hu Qiang also got serious and asked Zhao Lei seriously: "Who do you plan to find to manage the fish pond?"
