Chapter 97 Eel Grass

While Li Chengxin and the others returned home to take care of their parents, Zhou Hao also put down his work as a photographer and continued to devote himself to the construction of the resort.

The construction of the first phase of the resort is coming to an end, and now it has started to build interior decoration, and at the same time start recruiting staff, and plans to open it before the National Day.

On this day, Zhou Hao brought some high-end supplements to Li Chengxin's house to visit his two elders.

Li Chengxin's parents have been in good spirits recently. Now they raise a few chickens at home and grow some green onions, garlic and vegetables in their small yard.

When Zhou Hao came, Li Chengxin was splitting firewood with the help of Brother Xiaoyong, and the two parents were sitting in the yard drinking tea and chatting.

Zhou Hao joined the team of chopping firewood for a while, and Huazi came to the door in a small delivery truck.

"Hey, Huazi is here again." Brother Xiaoyong's father skillfully stepped forward to help Huazi open the hatch of the pickup truck, "What's the matter this time?"

"Hey," Huazi got down from the driver's seat and got into the cargo hold, "I have everything."

As he spoke, a lot of boxes were pushed out from the cargo hold.

When Li Chengxin heard that there were a lot of things, he called Xiao Yong and Zhou Hao, two muscular men, to help move things.

As expected, there were a lot of boxes, most of which came from the farmers he had interviewed, as well as condolence items from Qi Lanting and Geyue Entertainment, and of course some small gifts from loyal fans.

Seeing box after box of vegetables, fruits, health care products and small gifts moved into his yard, Li Chengxin's father suddenly said, "Xin Wa'er, don't you and Brother Xiaoyong be kept at home by us old people all the time, come back quickly!" Lanhai City continue to work."

"Yeah, sometimes we read the messages from your fans on the Internet, and they all hope that you will continue to do live broadcasts." Li Chengxin's mother also said.

Brother Xiaoyong's parents also repeatedly said yes, saying that they can take good care of Li Chengxin's parents and so on.

One of the reasons why Brother Xiaoyong’s parents also joined in urging him to go back to work was that Brother Xiaoyong planned to save a certain amount of money before going to get a license to hold a banquet with Lin Yiyi. This big event was disturbed by the return of Li Chengxin’s parents. Pushing several business promotion opportunities, the number on his bank account has not reached the standard set by himself.

But on the other hand, since he gave up various jobs to stay in the village, he spent more time with Lin Yiyi.

Of course Zhou Hao also understands these twists and turns, after all, his family has not been urging marriage for a year or two.

He suddenly had an idea: "Otherwise, let the uncles and aunts go to work in my resort, and go to the farmhouse to cook the dishes that Shao Zicheng and Brother Xiaoyong cooked in the live broadcast! The ingredients are of course from the ones that were broadcast live before. Buy from the farm."

Li Chengxin thought about it, this sounds pretty good, find something for parents to do, and there are people in the resort who can take care of each other and chat.

As for business, when Li Chengxin and Xiaoyong's fame gradually increased, fans might follow the attraction of these dishes and go to Zhou Hao's resort.

Speaking of which, Li Chengxin and Brother Xiaoyong are still the minority shareholders of the resort. It is also a good idea to put their parents in to supervise the work.

This is a move that kills several birds with one stone!Everyone present raised their hands in favor.

Before leaving Hongming Village, Li Chengxin planned to do another program in Hongming Village, planting aquatic plants on his experimental coast.

Li Chengxin plans to plant eelgrass on the seabed at a depth of two to three meters near the coast. Although it is commonly known as eelgrass, its scientific name is eelgrass, which is a type of algae.

Seaweeds have leaves, roots and rhizomes, and reproduce through flowers, fruits and seeds.

Seaweeds, on the other hand, are relatively simple organisms, macroalgae with no vascular tissue that transport water and nutrients through the plant.

This eel-like algal plant grows in the mid-tidal zone of the beach and can form large single-species communities.

Its large, elongated leaves can be an obstacle to swimming, but are an important part of coastal ecosystems.The best example is their role in raising young fish and crustacean species.

The classic American cartoon "Finding Nemo" also mentioned the role of eelgrass. They can provide food for various herbivores such as dugongs and green sea turtles. Maybe one day, Li Chengxin's experimental coast can also be planted with large Leaf algae attracts sea turtles.

The cultivation of algal plants does not require the purchase of seeds.

Before leaving Hongming Village in August, Li Chengxin paddled a small sampan to the vicinity of Zhangba Island and brought back a large handful of mature eelgrass.

He bundled these eelgrass into small bundles, put them in a 1mm mesh and fixed them in seawater.Through the buoyancy of the eelgrass itself, even if it is not planted on the seabed, the seaweed flowers can grow vertically when they grow, and the seeds they produce will fall into the screen.

Now, two months later, Li Chengxin rowed a small sampan to put away the screen containing eel grass, took it back to the shore, opened it for inspection.

After washing the silt and planktonic algae on the screen with sea water, the live camera easily captured the white eelgrass seed particles on the screen.

[It looks like fish eggs! 】

【Accidentally looks pretty...】

The theoretical work and plans on the marine environment were formulated by Li Chengxin and Professor Yang’s proud disciple Xiao Jia, but the actual planting work required Xiao Yong’s physical strength and strength to carry out. Of course, a few villagers with good water skills were also hired to help .

Zhou Hao also changed into the expensive professional diving equipment and diving live streaming equipment he bought with his own money, and dived into the water with Xiaoyong and the villagers.

In order to plant eelgrass on a sloping seabed, three steps of 2m x 3m were first created on the selected seabed.

First, stubby stakes are laid to enclose the eelgrass field, and then palm mats are laid on the part surrounded by the stakes.

After laying out the mat, place large live rock boulders from the sea around the eelgrass field to keep the sand out.There will be irregular gaps in the areas stacked by live rocks, so small fish and shrimps can hide and inhabit inside.

Then, the sand carrier that had previously come to the man-made beach was hired again, and nearly 10 tons of sea sand were laid down in the area covered with palm mats and surrounded by live rocks.

The 10 tons of sea sand dropped by the huge sand carrier is only a fraction of the weight it can carry, but even if it is vacant, Li Chengxin still has to pay the full rent of the sand carrier.Li Chengxin was on the shore, using underwater headphones to guide Xiao Yong's work through the live broadcast screen, while clutching his empty wallet and feeling distressed.

The sandbox surrounded by live rocks took almost two days to complete, and the sowing was left to the villagers, because the eelgrass seeds were still growing seedlings in Xiao Jia's laboratory.

When it was time to sow the seeds, Xiao Jia would also use the underwater photography equipment rented by the school to shoot the video, and then let Lin Yiyi post it on the account of Hongming Village.

　In fact, the seeds of eelgrass should be cultivated in June and harvested in August, but this is just a novel, just read it... In addition, the process of preparing the foundation for planting is translated by myself from foreign documents, and there are no video materials. Might be sloppy.
