In the early morning of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, several large trucks came to Chongxin Village.
These big trucks were heavily loaded with a lot of things, and as they drove by, the villagers felt that the road was shaking.
"What is this?" A villager poked his head out of a small roadside shop to see, "Is this a project?"
"It's not a project. How can we have any projects here? Didn't it mean that Lu Ao contracted a piece of sea outside the village to do some kind of marine ranch. I guess we are doing that now."
"Ocean ranch? Never heard of it."
"I haven't heard of it before, but Lu Ao is a bit of a villain. He can probably do whatever he wants to do."
As soon as the words came out, several people in the store agreed with them.
Everyone is really curious about the ocean ranch, and they are idle here, so someone suggested, "What is going on with this ocean ranch, we haven't seen it yet, why don't we join in the fun together?"
"Success, let's go learn more."
The people who were chatting in the small shop went as soon as they said they would go, stood up immediately, pushed them out, and wanted to go to the beach.
When everyone went to the beach, there were already many people standing there watching the fun, especially the children who were still sniffling. They stood on the reef and stretched their necks, looking into the sea.
There is a lot of chaos here, there are cars everywhere-trucks, cranes, cars, and there are several boats parked on the sea.
This time, we mainly used Lu Ao's large ship to launch the reef.
The crane lifted the artificial reef directly from the truck to the boat, and Lu Ao then drove the boat to deliver the artificial reef to the marine ranch.
Lin Dawu, Lin Manzhang, Lin Gongshang, and Lao Chen all came.
Dozens of young and strong men stood on the reef and in the boat, and everyone helped together.
The sea area contracted by Lu Ao is too large, and he ordered a lot of artificial reefs, there are 510 two of them, with various shapes and materials.
Large-scale artificial reefs are directly transported by crane, while small-scale artificial reefs need to be moved to the boat by themselves, and then put in by boat.
Lu Ao made preparations in advance, and now there are so many artificial fish reefs here, they seem busy and orderly.
The people in the village watched the excitement and went to watch the excitement. After watching the excitement, people also consciously came to help, including some old people, who did not waste their energy.
An old man sighed, "When we were young, when we fished, there were as many fish and shrimps in the sea as rice, and we all returned with a full load in small wooden boats. Who would have thought that there would be a day when we would raise fish in the sea."
Lin Gongshang heard it, and raised his voice with a smile, "The times are different. The fish we have fished for so many years are all taken from the sea. Now it is our turn to repay the sea."
"That's very true." The old man was a little sentimental, "When we were young, we were not as fast as people are now, and we know the nets we use."
Hearing what they said, Lu Ao came over and said, "We're not going to kill them all now. If we encounter someone who uses Juehu.com, we'll call the police directly. Master Mu, don't move this one, let us young people come here."
"Hehehe, my health recovered very early. Two years ago, I used cattle to go to the pear field. You are just like that, so you can't tire me out."
Lu Ao took the steel artificial reef firmly in his hand, "Then you find a lighter artificial reef, this one won't work, this one is too heavy, they almost lost their waist when they just picked it up."
The old man immediately waved his hands triumphantly and said with a laugh: "This weight almost makes you lose your waist. Your body is not good. It's the same as when we were young. Hey, you can lift two hundred catties without shaking your feet!"
Lu Ao gave him a thumbs up.
The old man was satisfied, and looked at the sky with his hands behind his back, "Then you are busy here, and I will get you some tea."
Lu Ao also looked up at the sky.
It was rainy in spring, the sky was gloomy, and there were no obvious rain clouds.
Lu Ao felt the humidity of the current weather and felt that there must be rain within two hours.
Lu Ao shouted: "It's about to rain, please work harder and try to throw these artificial reefs into the sea before it rains."
Someone in the crowd replied, "Don't worry, it won't rain much this time! Even if it rains, we'll still be busy here."
Lu Ao quietly sensed the rain clouds and wanted to disperse them in advance.
He soon discovered that this plan was not feasible.
There is too much rain in spring, and the rain clouds here are not local rain clouds, but the whole area is full of rain clouds. Even if he disperses the rain clouds here, the wind will bring the rain clouds from other places. They couldn't avoid Chunyu anyway.
When other people in the village heard that it was going to rain, they all came to help. Even children ran around to help with some light artificial reefs.
It was rare for Fatty to meet so many people, running around with his tongue out, barking with excitement.
Large chunks of artificial reefs were smashed directly from the boat into the sea, splashing big water with a splash.
These artificial reefs are a bit like wild rocks, and the placement of them does not need to be too carefully selected.
There are two tides per day, and if the casts are not in the right place, the tides will take them to where they should go.
If Lu Ao wants to fix these artificial reefs at a specific location, he has to dive into seawater for underwater welding.
He doesn't have this need right now.
Come and help everyone.
The deployment of artificial reefs is proceeding rapidly.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the first batch of fish reefs arrived here, and after eleven o'clock in the morning, all the fish reefs were thrown into the sea.
When they were about to leave, the sky had already started to drizzle, and strands of it floated onto people's hair and clothes, but it was not enough to wet people.
When the crowd was about to disperse, Lin Qiyan and Lingong Shang brought cigarettes and candies to the crowd and distributed them.
Lu Ao and Song Zhou specially bought this to thank everyone. Everyone has helped for so long, and it is not appropriate to give money. Giving some cigarettes, alcohol and candies also makes everyone happy.
At noon, Lu Ao and Song Zhou specially booked a banquet in the town. They took everyone to the town for dinner and set up seven tables.
The meal was very lively.
After launching the artificial reef, the breath of spring is already very strong.
The young people in the village returned to the city to work again, and the whole village suddenly became more than half empty, and the lights in the village were also less. Walking in the village, it was much quieter.
The old people who stayed in the village began to tidy up their own vegetable fields.
Lu Ao and Songzhou also started to grow vegetables. They don't grow many vegetables, they mainly grow eggplants, peppers, pumpkins, wax gourds, beans and so on.
Spring is gradually warming up, the temperature and humidity are sufficient, and the vegetable seedlings grow vigorously immediately after being planted in the ground. They can see new leaves sprouting from the vegetable seedlings almost every day.
In addition to the vegetable fields, the mountain contracted by Lu Ao was also busy.
Lu Ao almost handed over the management of the entire mountain to Lao Chen.
Lao Chen did not live up to his trust. As soon as the new year was over, he began to prepare for the work of weeding and fertilizing.
The peach blossoms, plum blossoms and cherry blossoms in the orchard are all in bloom. The flowering time of these three plants is not completely synchronized. Some of them are about to fall, and some have just bloomed in large numbers. Looking at it every day, the scenery on the mountain is very good.
The bees that migrated to a corner of the orchard last winter also started to get busy. You can almost hear them buzzing as soon as you walk into the orchard.
There are enough flowers in the orchard, and the bees are busy in the orchard and don't go anywhere else.
Greengages and loquats that bloom in winter have already begun to bear fruit.
Greengages mature earlier, the plums are basically the size of a ping-pong ball, and have gradually turned from green to yellow.
Loquats are still small, only the size of a little finger, but they are clustered together. It is not difficult to imagine what kind of harvest they will get in summer.
That day when Lu Ao went up the mountain, he saw Lao Chen busy in the orchard carrying fertilizers, so he called out to him, "Brother Chen, how is the orchard this year?"
"The growth is gratifying!" Old Chen straightened his waist, leaned on a hoe to take a breath, and said with a relaxed expression, "I have planted fruit trees for so many years, and no fruit tree bears as much fruit as it does now. It's all bent."
"That's good."
"It's very good. When I catch up with the fertilizer, there will definitely be a bumper harvest this year." Lao Chen reminded, "You can't finish eating so many fruits, so you have to contact the receiver as soon as possible to purchase."
Lu Ao smiled, "It's still early."
"It's getting late, this kind of fruit tree is like raising children. You don't feel it when you look at it in front of your eyes every day. One day you don't see any of them, you will find that they have grown up suddenly."
Lu Ao nodded, "Okay, I'll contact you as soon as possible."
"If you don't know anyone, I'll give you a few calls."
"I'll talk about it at that time. I want to plant some honeysuckle at the foot of the mountain now. I wonder if you have any channels, Brother Chen? Or is there anything that needs special attention?"
"No, take some honeysuckle seeds. I'll sprinkle them along the wire fence, and when the spring rain falls, they will germinate by themselves."
They produce honeysuckle locally.
Every year at the end of spring and the beginning of summer, a group of old ladies often go to the fields to pick honeysuckle with their pockets.
It is best to pick honeysuckle when it is about to bloom, remove impurities such as leaves, and then take it upstairs to dry.
After drying, make some tea to clear away heat and moisten the lungs. It is best for children to drink.
If a little honeysuckle nectar is added, it will be the best heat-clearing and detoxifying product.
Lu Ao drank honeysuckle tea quite often when he was a child.
This kind of scented tea is delicious and healthy. At that time, before he transferred to the city, he had to bring his own water to the rural primary school.
Every morning, his mother would put a handful of honeysuckle flowers in the kettle, pour hot water for him, make tea, stuff it into the side of his schoolbag, and he could drink it all day long.
Lao Chen said that he could grow seeds, so Lu Ao simply placed an order online and bought more than ten catties of seeds.
Honeysuckle can climb vines, and the barbed wire fence at the foot of Haining Mountain is ready-made. The honeysuckle flowers are sprinkled under the barbed wire fence, and when the time comes, it will grow out, just along the wire fence.
At that time, the barbed wire will provide support for the honeysuckle, and the honeysuckle will provide decoration for the barbed wire. Such a circle will be lively and lively, much more beautiful than the bare barbed wire.
Lu Ao asked the seller to send SF Express.The order was placed in the afternoon, and the courier arrived in the town the next morning. Lu Ao went to pick it up. According to the seller's instructions, the honeysuckle was soaked in water overnight, and then sprinkled on the place to be planted.
It was as simple as that, and within two days, Lu Ao could already see tender seedlings of honeysuckle in the soil.
Spring is the season for all things to grow. Not only the honeysuckle at the foot of Haining Mountain grows luxuriantly, but also the seaweed attached to the artificial fish reef in the marine ranch grows very well.
After Lu Ao's artificial reef was put down, he didn't care much about it. After more than a week of catalysis, many algae spores attached to the artificial reef, covering the artificial reef with a green and fuzzy coat.
Lu Ao would dive down to inspect the circle basically every afternoon.
After the artificial reef was cast, the number of fish in this sea area increased significantly.
Black sea bream, golden drum fish, white wax fish, red friend fish, dragon grouper and other various fish and shrimps are available, and a lot of crabs have also come. This sea area has improved visibly with the naked eye.
After dinner that night, Lu Ao said to Song Zhou: "I see that the artificial fish reefs put in are almost fully grown. I want to start planting kelp, wakame and seaweed tomorrow."
"So fast?"
"It's not fast." Lu Ao looked up at him, "In spring, there is a lot of rain and the temperature is suitable. The seaweed grows very fast. If we don't plant it now, we will wait until the seaweed has fully occupied the ecological dominant position before we want to plant it. I'm afraid it won't look so good."
Song Zhou smiled, "Yes, then I will accompany you to get the seedlings tomorrow?"
"No need for this, just let Lao Xu and the others send it over. If you are free, we can plant it together."
"It's free. You can contact Lao Xu later and ask him to deliver it as soon as possible tomorrow morning. I will go to work tomorrow morning to deal with business, and we will go to the sea to plant together in the afternoon."
"No problem, I told him two days ago to get him ready as soon as possible, and send the seedlings to me in the next few days."
Lu Ao took a big bite of the rice, and after eating, he jumped and called Lao Xu in a hurry.
Old Xu agreed, and the seedlings will be delivered to the village around ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
Lu Ao was in a hurry to use kelp and wakame to raise abalone and sea cucumber, and he ordered big seedlings.
But this thing doesn't take up much space, even if it's a big seedling, it doesn't take much to pick it up.
The next day, Lao Xu came over in a van.
When he arrived at the door of Lu Ao's house, Lu Ao looked at his minivan and was a little skeptical, "The [-] kelp and [-] wakame plants I ordered are only a little?"
Old Xu drank the water in his mouth and quickly promised, "This is already quite a lot. The new seedlings are small and thin. You will find out later when you go up and have a look. I guarantee that the number will only be more or less."
Lu Ao looked at him, "Okay, let's unload the goods first, we have so many opportunities to cooperate in the future, I believe you will not lie to me."
"That's definitely not possible!" Old Xu quickly assured, "I have worked in Qianyong City for so many years, and I rely on word of mouth to make a living. If word of mouth is bad, who would dare to do business with me?"
Old Xu removed all the bread and the frame behind it.
In addition to the two rows of seats in the front, his van is full of plastic boxes at the back. There are a total of thirteen plastic baskets here.
"Both kelp and wakame are [-] plants in a basket, there is only more and no less. I brought an extra basket, and I will give it to you. For seaweed, I brought you spores, all of which are here, and there are planting instructions on it. You can just plant it on rocks."
Lu Ao casually picked out a basket of kelp, "I'll take a rough count."
"No problem, just count it."
Old Xu's attitude is very straightforward, he has given enough of these seedlings.
Lu Ao knew from his attitude that there was probably no problem, but to be cautious, he did a spot check, and nodded after seeing that there was really no problem, and invited Lao Xu to go in for tea.
Old Xu quickly waved his hand, "I don't want to drink anymore, I have to go back. Spring is the time when business is busy, so I don't worry if I don't go back. By the way, when will you want those abalones and sea cucumbers? I have kept them for so long, It’s already a little too much, and there are still customers who are interested in it these days, and they keep asking, if you don’t want it, I have to resell it.”
"In another week, when our kelp and wakame are planted, we can release abalone fry."
"Okay, I'll contact you after that week. You can ask me if you don't understand anything during the planting process. I don't guarantee my expertise, but I will do my best to help if I can."
After Lao Xu left for a while, Song Zhou came back.
He saw the big baskets of seedlings piled up in the yard, and asked, "That's all right, just plant them directly?"
"Just plant it." Lu Ao looked at these seedlings, not sure, "I haven't seen anyone plant them directly on the seabed, but it should be fine."
The seaweed or kelp they grow here are all tied with ropes and placed on the sea surface. I have never heard of anyone directly planting these seedlings on the seabed.
The situation on the bottom of the sea is too complicated, and there are tides every day.
If these seedlings are planted, if they are not careful, they will be swept up by the sea water.
Lu Ao plans to use coral planting method to plant kelp and wakame this time, directly fixing their roots on the seabed with glue.
The roots of these kelp and wakame are not like land plants, which absorb nutrients from the soil on the seabed. They just play a fixed role, and it doesn't matter if you use glue.
In the afternoon, the two moved baskets of kelp and wakame to the reef, intending to plant them directly in the sea.
There are no young people in Luwu Village anymore, they are all left-behind old people.
The reefs by the sea are too dangerous, and the mountains and sea here are contracted by Lu Ao again, so the old people usually come here for nothing.
With Songzhou Wangfeng, Lu Ao directly turned into a dragon shape, dragged the plastic basket to the sea with his claws, and planned to plant it directly in the dragon shape.
Seeing his appearance, Song Zhou couldn't help but frown, "Can you do this?"
"What's wrong? Four paws are much more convenient than two hands. Don't be naughty, hurry up, let's hurry up and try to finish it in one afternoon."
"Okay, come on."
Song Zhou came down and sat on Lu Ao.
Lu Ao took him directly to the bottom of the sea.
It is not convenient to speak at the bottom of the sea. The two mainly rely on gestures to communicate. It is very simple for them to grow kelp and wakame.
Lu Ao used his paws to directly poke holes in the seabed. Songzhou put the kelp seedlings in, squeezed some glue, and gave it a little support. Wait for the glue to solidify a little.
Lu Ao's strength is much stronger now than before, and his ability to control his body is also much stronger than before. His claws poking holes in the bottom of the sea is like poking holes in cakes, without difficulty at all.
Later, he simply poked a hole with his left front paw, took glue with his right front paw, poked a hole, put a seedling, and squeezed a little more glue.
Song Zhou was busy behind him, so he couldn't compare to him.
They started working after one o'clock, and at four o'clock, for some reason, the sea was covered with dark clouds and thunder struck.
Lu Ao was in the sea, his hearing was affected, and he didn't pay much attention to the movement on the sea. He didn't realize it was going to rain until the spring thunder sounded.
Not only is it raining here, but the wind is also blowing, and the waves have become very large.
Their kelp and wakame have just been planted, and they have all been planted.
The root systems of the two have just been fixed on the reef and have not grown yet. This is the most dangerous time.
In normal times, Lu Ao didn't care whether it would be windy or rainy on the sea, but now they had just planted the wakame and kelp, and it started to be windy and rainy, and the waves were so big that it was easy to give their planting results to Roll away and let them work for nothing.
Lu Ao didn't reach the sea, looked at the sky covered with dark clouds, frowned and said to Song Zhou: "This is troublesome."
"It's a bit troublesome, let's disperse the rain clouds now?"
"I don't think so. The scale of the rain cloud this time is too big. Not to mention the effort to disperse it. The wind is so strong. It is useless to disperse the rain cloud. The waves are still very big. We can't provide enough disturbance to make these winds clam down."
It's not that they can't calm down these winds, but they can directly dispel these winds when they can't affect the balance of heaven.
The things that need to be paid for small-scale practice and large-scale practice are really different.
Lu Ao didn't want to take risks for this bit of kelp and wakame.
Lu Ao looked at the rain clouds and was very depressed. If this planting was unsuccessful, they could only wait until tomorrow when the wind and rain subsided and planted again.
He also planned to sow abalone and sea cucumber seedlings in a week's time, so I'm afraid it will be postponed now.
Seeing the wind getting stronger, Lu Ao sighed and said, "It's not easy for farmers."
Songzhou reminded, "You are not a farmer, but a fisherman."
"It's almost the same, they are all planting things."
After Lu Ao finished speaking, he turned his head to look at him, only to find that his face was full of smiles, his expression looked very relaxed, and he was not at all annoyed that the planting results of the afternoon were ruined.
Lu Ao was puzzled and poked him with his dragon claw, "Do you have a solution?"
"Yes." Song Zhou said calmly, "You should have thought of this method. Think about it, what else can we do in this situation?"
As soon as Song Zhou said that, Lu Ao knew that this method was not difficult.
He thought about it carefully for a long time, but he couldn't think of any way to calm down the sudden spring rain and spring thunder.
Lu Ao thought for a while, and was about to admit defeat, when lightning flashed across the sky in the distance, and a purple light appeared.
Like a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, he immediately remembered, "You mean we don't have to start with the weather, but we can start with the kelp and wakame that have been planted?"
"Yes, do you still remember when you planted coral with Xiang Xingchang and the others, we injected vitality into certain creatures on a large scale?"
"Remember!" Lu Ao became excited, "I understand, we can directly send vitality to kelp and wakame, just like what we did when we planted corals before!"
Kelp and wakame grow in nature. A storm is nothing to them. They will encounter more serious challenges than this almost every moment, but they have never disappeared in nature. .
These are very strong creatures, as long as you give them a hand and let them stand on their feet, they will naturally have a way to survive.
Lu Ao immediately pulled Songzhou's clothes with his dragon claws, "Hurry up, let's go down quickly, give them vitality, and let them grow well before the storm comes."
"Don't worry." Song Zhou pulled his dragon claw backhand, "Today I will teach you how to transmit life force on a large scale."
Seeing that he was not in a hurry, Lu Ao grabbed his hand with Dragon Claw, "If you don't worry about it, the kelp will be swept away by the waves!"
These big trucks were heavily loaded with a lot of things, and as they drove by, the villagers felt that the road was shaking.
"What is this?" A villager poked his head out of a small roadside shop to see, "Is this a project?"
"It's not a project. How can we have any projects here? Didn't it mean that Lu Ao contracted a piece of sea outside the village to do some kind of marine ranch. I guess we are doing that now."
"Ocean ranch? Never heard of it."
"I haven't heard of it before, but Lu Ao is a bit of a villain. He can probably do whatever he wants to do."
As soon as the words came out, several people in the store agreed with them.
Everyone is really curious about the ocean ranch, and they are idle here, so someone suggested, "What is going on with this ocean ranch, we haven't seen it yet, why don't we join in the fun together?"
"Success, let's go learn more."
The people who were chatting in the small shop went as soon as they said they would go, stood up immediately, pushed them out, and wanted to go to the beach.
When everyone went to the beach, there were already many people standing there watching the fun, especially the children who were still sniffling. They stood on the reef and stretched their necks, looking into the sea.
There is a lot of chaos here, there are cars everywhere-trucks, cranes, cars, and there are several boats parked on the sea.
This time, we mainly used Lu Ao's large ship to launch the reef.
The crane lifted the artificial reef directly from the truck to the boat, and Lu Ao then drove the boat to deliver the artificial reef to the marine ranch.

If a little honeysuckle nectar is added, it will be the best heat-clearing and detoxifying product.
Lu Ao drank honeysuckle tea quite often when he was a child.
This kind of scented tea is delicious and healthy. At that time, before he transferred to the city, he had to bring his own water to the rural primary school.
Every morning, his mother would put a handful of honeysuckle flowers in the kettle, pour hot water for him, make tea, stuff it into the side of his schoolbag, and he could drink it all day long.
Lao Chen said that he could grow seeds, so Lu Ao simply placed an order online and bought more than ten catties of seeds.
Honeysuckle can climb vines, and the barbed wire fence at the foot of Haining Mountain is ready-made. The honeysuckle flowers are sprinkled under the barbed wire fence, and when the time comes, it will grow out, just along the wire fence.
At that time, the barbed wire will provide support for the honeysuckle, and the honeysuckle will provide decoration for the barbed wire. Such a circle will be lively and lively, much more beautiful than the bare barbed wire.
Lu Ao asked the seller to send SF Express.The order was placed in the afternoon, and the courier arrived in the town the next morning. Lu Ao went to pick it up. According to the seller's instructions, the honeysuckle was soaked in water overnight, and then sprinkled on the place to be planted.
It was as simple as that, and within two days, Lu Ao could already see tender seedlings of honeysuckle in the soil.
Spring is the season for all things to grow. Not only the honeysuckle at the foot of Haining Mountain grows luxuriantly, but also the seaweed attached to the artificial fish reef in the marine ranch grows very well.
After Lu Ao's artificial reef was put down, he didn't care much about it. After more than a week of catalysis, many algae spores attached to the artificial reef, covering the artificial reef with a green and fuzzy coat.
Lu Ao would dive down to inspect the circle basically every afternoon.
After the artificial reef was cast, the number of fish in this sea area increased significantly.
Black sea bream, golden drum fish, white wax fish, red friend fish, dragon grouper and other various fish and shrimps are available, and a lot of crabs have also come. This sea area has improved visibly with the naked eye.
After dinner that night, Lu Ao said to Song Zhou: "I see that the artificial fish reefs put in are almost fully grown. I want to start planting kelp, wakame and seaweed tomorrow."
"So fast?"
"It's not fast." Lu Ao looked up at him, "In spring, there is a lot of rain and the temperature is suitable. The seaweed grows very fast. If we don't plant it now, we will wait until the seaweed has fully occupied the ecological dominant position before we want to plant it. I'm afraid it won't look so good."
Song Zhou smiled, "Yes, then I will accompany you to get the seedlings tomorrow?"
"No need for this, just let Lao Xu and the others send it over. If you are free, we can plant it together."
"It's free. You can contact Lao Xu later and ask him to deliver it as soon as possible tomorrow morning. I will go to work tomorrow morning to deal with business, and we will go to the sea to plant together in the afternoon."
"No problem, I told him two days ago to get him ready as soon as possible, and send the seedlings to me in the next few days."
Lu Ao took a big bite of the rice, and after eating, he jumped and called Lao Xu in a hurry.
Old Xu agreed, and the seedlings will be delivered to the village around ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
Lu Ao was in a hurry to use kelp and wakame to raise abalone and sea cucumber, and he ordered big seedlings.
But this thing doesn't take up much space, even if it's a big seedling, it doesn't take much to pick it up.
The next day, Lao Xu came over in a van.
When he arrived at the door of Lu Ao's house, Lu Ao looked at his minivan and was a little skeptical, "The [-] kelp and [-] wakame plants I ordered are only a little?"
Old Xu drank the water in his mouth and quickly promised, "This is already quite a lot. The new seedlings are small and thin. You will find out later when you go up and have a look. I guarantee that the number will only be more or less."
Lu Ao looked at him, "Okay, let's unload the goods first, we have so many opportunities to cooperate in the future, I believe you will not lie to me."
"That's definitely not possible!" Old Xu quickly assured, "I have worked in Qianyong City for so many years, and I rely on word of mouth to make a living. If word of mouth is bad, who would dare to do business with me?"
Old Xu removed all the bread and the frame behind it.
In addition to the two rows of seats in the front, his van is full of plastic boxes at the back. There are a total of thirteen plastic baskets here.
"Both kelp and wakame are [-] plants in a basket, there is only more and no less. I brought an extra basket, and I will give it to you. For seaweed, I brought you spores, all of which are here, and there are planting instructions on it. You can just plant it on rocks."
Lu Ao casually picked out a basket of kelp, "I'll take a rough count."
"No problem, just count it."
Old Xu's attitude is very straightforward, he has given enough of these seedlings.
Lu Ao knew from his attitude that there was probably no problem, but to be cautious, he did a spot check, and nodded after seeing that there was really no problem, and invited Lao Xu to go in for tea.
Old Xu quickly waved his hand, "I don't want to drink anymore, I have to go back. Spring is the time when business is busy, so I don't worry if I don't go back. By the way, when will you want those abalones and sea cucumbers? I have kept them for so long, It’s already a little too much, and there are still customers who are interested in it these days, and they keep asking, if you don’t want it, I have to resell it.”
"In another week, when our kelp and wakame are planted, we can release abalone fry."
"Okay, I'll contact you after that week. You can ask me if you don't understand anything during the planting process. I don't guarantee my expertise, but I will do my best to help if I can."
After Lao Xu left for a while, Song Zhou came back.
He saw the big baskets of seedlings piled up in the yard, and asked, "That's all right, just plant them directly?"
"Just plant it." Lu Ao looked at these seedlings, not sure, "I haven't seen anyone plant them directly on the seabed, but it should be fine."
The seaweed or kelp they grow here are all tied with ropes and placed on the sea surface. I have never heard of anyone directly planting these seedlings on the seabed.
The situation on the bottom of the sea is too complicated, and there are tides every day.
If these seedlings are planted, if they are not careful, they will be swept up by the sea water.
Lu Ao plans to use coral planting method to plant kelp and wakame this time, directly fixing their roots on the seabed with glue.
The roots of these kelp and wakame are not like land plants, which absorb nutrients from the soil on the seabed. They just play a fixed role, and it doesn't matter if you use glue.
In the afternoon, the two moved baskets of kelp and wakame to the reef, intending to plant them directly in the sea.
There are no young people in Luwu Village anymore, they are all left-behind old people.
The reefs by the sea are too dangerous, and the mountains and sea here are contracted by Lu Ao again, so the old people usually come here for nothing.
With Songzhou Wangfeng, Lu Ao directly turned into a dragon shape, dragged the plastic basket to the sea with his claws, and planned to plant it directly in the dragon shape.
Seeing his appearance, Song Zhou couldn't help but frown, "Can you do this?"
"What's wrong? Four paws are much more convenient than two hands. Don't be naughty, hurry up, let's hurry up and try to finish it in one afternoon."
"Okay, come on."
Song Zhou came down and sat on Lu Ao.
Lu Ao took him directly to the bottom of the sea.
It is not convenient to speak at the bottom of the sea. The two mainly rely on gestures to communicate. It is very simple for them to grow kelp and wakame.
Lu Ao used his paws to directly poke holes in the seabed. Songzhou put the kelp seedlings in, squeezed some glue, and gave it a little support. Wait for the glue to solidify a little.
Lu Ao's strength is much stronger now than before, and his ability to control his body is also much stronger than before. His claws poking holes in the bottom of the sea is like poking holes in cakes, without difficulty at all.
Later, he simply poked a hole with his left front paw, took glue with his right front paw, poked a hole, put a seedling, and squeezed a little more glue.
Song Zhou was busy behind him, so he couldn't compare to him.
They started working after one o'clock, and at four o'clock, for some reason, the sea was covered with dark clouds and thunder struck.
Lu Ao was in the sea, his hearing was affected, and he didn't pay much attention to the movement on the sea. He didn't realize it was going to rain until the spring thunder sounded.
Not only is it raining here, but the wind is also blowing, and the waves have become very large.
Their kelp and wakame have just been planted, and they have all been planted.
The root systems of the two have just been fixed on the reef and have not grown yet. This is the most dangerous time.
In normal times, Lu Ao didn't care whether it would be windy or rainy on the sea, but now they had just planted the wakame and kelp, and it started to be windy and rainy, and the waves were so big that it was easy to give their planting results to Roll away and let them work for nothing.
Lu Ao didn't reach the sea, looked at the sky covered with dark clouds, frowned and said to Song Zhou: "This is troublesome."
"It's a bit troublesome, let's disperse the rain clouds now?"
"I don't think so. The scale of the rain cloud this time is too big. Not to mention the effort to disperse it. The wind is so strong. It is useless to disperse the rain cloud. The waves are still very big. We can't provide enough disturbance to make these winds clam down."
It's not that they can't calm down these winds, but they can directly dispel these winds when they can't affect the balance of heaven.
The things that need to be paid for small-scale practice and large-scale practice are really different.
Lu Ao didn't want to take risks for this bit of kelp and wakame.
Lu Ao looked at the rain clouds and was very depressed. If this planting was unsuccessful, they could only wait until tomorrow when the wind and rain subsided and planted again.
He also planned to sow abalone and sea cucumber seedlings in a week's time, so I'm afraid it will be postponed now.
Seeing the wind getting stronger, Lu Ao sighed and said, "It's not easy for farmers."
Songzhou reminded, "You are not a farmer, but a fisherman."
"It's almost the same, they are all planting things."
After Lu Ao finished speaking, he turned his head to look at him, only to find that his face was full of smiles, his expression looked very relaxed, and he was not at all annoyed that the planting results of the afternoon were ruined.
Lu Ao was puzzled and poked him with his dragon claw, "Do you have a solution?"
"Yes." Song Zhou said calmly, "You should have thought of this method. Think about it, what else can we do in this situation?"
As soon as Song Zhou said that, Lu Ao knew that this method was not difficult.
He thought about it carefully for a long time, but he couldn't think of any way to calm down the sudden spring rain and spring thunder.
Lu Ao thought for a while, and was about to admit defeat, when lightning flashed across the sky in the distance, and a purple light appeared.
Like a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, he immediately remembered, "You mean we don't have to start with the weather, but we can start with the kelp and wakame that have been planted?"
"Yes, do you still remember when you planted coral with Xiang Xingchang and the others, we injected vitality into certain creatures on a large scale?"
"Remember!" Lu Ao became excited, "I understand, we can directly send vitality to kelp and wakame, just like what we did when we planted corals before!"
Kelp and wakame grow in nature. A storm is nothing to them. They will encounter more serious challenges than this almost every moment, but they have never disappeared in nature. .
These are very strong creatures, as long as you give them a hand and let them stand on their feet, they will naturally have a way to survive.
Lu Ao immediately pulled Songzhou's clothes with his dragon claws, "Hurry up, let's go down quickly, give them vitality, and let them grow well before the storm comes."
"Don't worry." Song Zhou pulled his dragon claw backhand, "Today I will teach you how to transmit life force on a large scale."
Seeing that he was not in a hurry, Lu Ao grabbed his hand with Dragon Claw, "If you don't worry about it, the kelp will be swept away by the waves!"
