Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 846 Expanding the Fish Pond
This surprised Xing Wenming, and couldn't help asking Zhao Lei: "Boss, where did you buy so many eel seedlings?"

Of course Zhao Lei wouldn't tell the truth, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Don't worry about those details, let's quickly put the eels in the fish pond!"

Reminded by Zhao Lei, Xing Wenming also came back to his senses and said, "Yes, yes, it's important to release the fry first. These are treasures, so nothing can go wrong!"

In order to grasp the number of eels stocked in each fish pond, it is natural to figure out the number of eel fry first.Xing Wenming recruited all the employees of the fish pond and began to count the number of eel fry.

Xing Wenming had the opportunity to observe the eels carefully, and admired while watching: "Look at these eels, they are big and lively, and each one is almost the same size. Boss, the batch of eels you bought are really amazing. Very good!"

For farms, it is of great significance to be able to buy eel fry that are basically the same size.If the size of the eels varies greatly, the growth rate will also be different, it is likely that some eels will grow very large, and others will be smaller
If the size of the eels in a fish pond is very different, there will be a situation of cannibalism, which will undoubtedly cause huge losses.

However, the hatching time of eel fry in the natural environment is early or late, and the size is of course not the same.It is almost impossible for all eel fry to be the same size like this. No wonder Xing Wenming is so happy.

However, Xing Wenming was too happy too early. When he found out the number of eels, his expression became ugly, and he couldn't help but sighed to Zhao Lei: "Boss, these eels are indeed very good, but there are too many of them." , the company’s fishponds can’t support them at all!”

Only then did Zhao Lei understand why Xing Wenming was troubled, so he deliberately teased him: "It doesn't matter if there are too many eel seedlings, at worst, sell them to others."

Xing Wenming said with a sad face: "But such a good eel seedling can't be raised by itself. Instead, it will be cheaper for others. I...I really can't be reconciled, alas!"

"Haha!" Amused by Xing Wenming's tangled appearance, Zhao Lei patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be reconciled, it's just that there are a lot of eel fry, this matter is easy to solve, at worst, just build a few more fish ponds !"

Xing Wenming suddenly realized: "Yes, why didn't I think of it, you can rebuild the fish pond!"

A worker laughed and said, "So Xiao Zhao is our boss, and Lao Xing, you can only be our supervisor. That's the difference!"

Now that there is a way to solve the problem of too many eels, Xing Wenming's mood is much better, and he smiled and cursed at the worker: "You're going to flatter the boss, come here and help, put these eels into the fish pond Bar!"

Xing Wenming's words caused a burst of laughter. Everyone worked together and quickly put all the eel fry into the few vacant fish ponds.

Zhao Lei was not idle either. Taking advantage of other people's busyness, he added a few drops of fairy dew to the fish ponds to ensure the survival rate of eel fry and speed up the growth of these eel fry.

According to the plan discussed by Zhao Lei and Xing Wenming, the eel fry will be raised in these fish ponds first, and new fish ponds will be built as soon as possible.When the new fish pond is built, the eel seedlings have grown up, and they can be reared in separate ponds without any delay.

So after putting the eel fry into the fish pond, Zhao Lei hurried to the village chief and discussed with him about renting more wasteland by the river and building a new fish pond.

Today's Xianhu Company is very famous in the city, let alone in the small Sanhe Village.Almost every household in the village has people working for Xianhu Company, and everyone enjoys the benefits that the company brings to their families.

Therefore, Li Zhen, the village head, agreed to Zhao Lei's request, and rented the ten acres of land by the river to Xianhu Company at the price two years ago.

After getting the land, things became easier. Zhao Lei immediately contacted Hu Jun, the boss of the engineering team, and told him that he planned to build three cement fish ponds with a size of two acres. He hoped that the sooner the construction would start, the better.

A high-quality customer like Zhao Lei who does not default on project payments is the most welcome person among all project team bosses.After hearing Zhao Lei's request, Hu Jun immediately agreed, and quickly prepared the project budget.

The three cement fish ponds cover an area of ​​more than six acres, together with aeration machines, water pumps and other supporting facilities, the total cost is close to 100 million.However, Zhao Lei is no longer the small farmer who couldn't even afford 5000 yuan two years ago. To him today, a mere 100 million yuan is nothing at all.

Zhao Lei accepted Hu Jun's offer, and immediately asked the accountant to send a sum of money so that the engineering team could start work as soon as possible.

Hu Jun is also a straightforward person, and immediately promised to start transporting heavy machinery into the site tomorrow, and strive to start work as soon as possible.

Zhao Lei is still very satisfied with this speed. Anyway, everyone has cooperated many times, so he doesn't have to worry too much about the next thing, as long as he waits patiently for the completion of the fish pond.

After finalizing the construction of the fish pond, Zhao Lei turned his attention to the other eel fry in the calabash space.

Different from the outside world, the appearance of eel fry in the gourd space is concentrated in two nights.In the past two days, a large number of eel fry passed through the estuary, and Zhao Lei also took advantage of these two nights to catch a large number of eel fry.The eel seedlings caught filled up the large water tank prepared by Zhao Lei, which can be described as flooding.

The main purpose of Zhao Lei fishing so many eel fry is to reduce the number of eel fry upstream.If the number of eel fry is not controlled, it is very likely that eels will flood the gourd space, which is not what he wants to happen.

As for the young eels caught by Zhao Lei, of course they will not be wasted.Xing Wenming said that the number of wild eels this year is very small, and these eels will definitely sell for a good price!

Zhao Lei has always been passionate about making money, so he rushed to Chongming Island at the mouth of the Yangtze River without any hesitation.

As soon as Zhao Lei came to the pier, he found that the situation here was indeed different from last year.At this time last year, almost all the fishing boats had gone out to catch eel fry, and there were only fish pond owners who bought eel fry on the pier, waiting for the fishing boats to return to the port with full expectation.

But right now the pier is full of fishing boats, and everyone seems to have no interest in going to sea.Everyone was sad, chatting quietly in small groups, and everyone sighed. It seems that the situation this year is indeed very bad.

Many people thought that Zhao Lei was also here to buy eel seedlings, and they all gave him wry smiles, and some people said loudly to Zhao Lei: "My friend, you came too late, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy even a single eel seedling!"

Zhao Lei just smiled and nodded at the other party, then came to the river, and soon found the boat boss Xu Zhiming he knew.

Seeing Zhao Lei, Xu Zhiming was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and smiled wryly, "Boss Zhao, have you also come to buy eel seedlings? But this year, your trip is probably in vain. No one wants to go to sea right now!"
