After being reborn as the Dragon King, I made a fortune on seafood

Lao Xu took Lu Ao and Song Zhou to see the abalone he raised.

He has been raising abalone for many years, and the abalone pond is very large.

When they went to look, he pointed to the five ponds in front of him and told Lu Ao and Songzhou, "This one, this one, and these three ponds are all filled with my abalones. You said you don't want ocean abalones, you want local ones. Bao right?"

Lu Ao nodded, "I plan to raise abalone in a marine ranch. I mainly want to imitate a wild environment for bottom-seeding farming. If abalone in Oceania is raised, it may have a certain impact on the local ecological environment."

Old Xu smiled, "If you raise them directly in the sea, you may indeed have this trouble, and the country does not allow such raising."

"Well, so I want to raise local abalone."

"The local abalone here has also been improved. It is mainly improved on the basis of wrinkled plate abalone. It is specially bred by the submarine habitat biology laboratory in our province. It can be raised in the wild without worrying about biological invasion."

Lu Ao looked around, "Where is the wrinkled abalone, let me see?"

"It's the last pond, but I have to tell you in advance that the economic benefits of this abalone are relatively average, and we don't have many of them locally, so the market may not be so good. When it grows up, it is much smaller than the Oceania abalone. , the final total harvest and income are somewhat different from those of Dayang abalone.”

Lu Ao knew about the abalone farming industry, and he was mentally prepared for what he said. He looked at Lao Xu and said, "It's okay, I know it well."

The old Xu Xin relaxed a little, and raised his tone, "It's good to know, then I'll take you to have a look. The local abalones here have been raised for a long time, and they are generally more than one centimeter long. They can be directly raised in the abalone breeding area. You don’t need to cultivate it separately, you can see it when you look at it, and you can’t lose money if you get seedlings from me.”

When they passed by, Old Xu used the dipping net next to him to catch a handful of abalone fry.

The mesh of his scooping net is very dense, and there are button-sized abalones inside.

The color of the local abalone is not as good as that of the oceanic abalone. The back is gray and lacks luster, but it looks alive and well. When it falls into the net, their meat is still moving.

Lu Ao thought it was cute, so he squatted down and picked up a handful of abalone. The abalone was twitching in his palm, and it looked really strong and energetic.

The survival rate of such abalones in the sea will definitely not be low.

Lu Ao took a look and was quite satisfied with Lao Xu's abalones.

He put the abalones back into the net, and turned to Lao Xu, "Didn't you just say that local abalones don't make money, so why are you cultivating so many?"

"It's not that it doesn't make money, it's just that the breeding cycle is relatively long, and the income is not as good as that of Dayang abalone."

Lao Xu explained: "However, our local abalones are relatively solid and have fewer diseases and insect pests. If the oceanic abalones are not raised well, it is easy to lose everything. The local abalones will not. They can basically live for more than [-]%. No pests or diseases will make farmers lose their money, so many novice farmers like to use this abalone for practice.”

It was the first time Lu Ao heard this statement, he nodded to express his understanding, and asked Lao Xu, "How do you sell the abalone seedlings here?"

Lao Xu regained his energy, and immediately said: "These abalone seedlings are relatively large, I don't want more, how about two yuan each?"

Lu Ao was not in a hurry to bargain, but asked, "How many abalone seedlings do you have here?"

Old Xu was stunned for a moment, and counted on his fingers, "Don't think this pond is not big, there are at least hundreds of thousands of them."

Lu Ao nodded again, "I just heard that you still have sea cucumber seedlings here?"

"I do have sea cucumber seedlings and some grouper fish fry here. If you want, I can sell them together, and I will pack them for a discount."

"Where are the black snapper seedlings?"

"No, but my brother has them. If you want, I can also sell them to you."

"I also want some seedlings of Splendid Lobster."

Old Xu immediately agreed: "No problem, my friend seems to know someone there, I'll help you ask when the time comes, but the seedlings of Splendid Lobster are a bit more expensive than our abalone seedlings."

Lu Ao continued to ask: "I still need some kelp seedlings, seaweed seedlings, etc. Do you have any?"

Old Xu knew that this time it was a big business, and his expression became more cautious. He didn't agree, but said: "If you trust me, I can provide you with all these. We already have kelp seedlings here." , but it is usually used as feed, and the scale is not large, if you want, I can also transfer some from my friend to you."

Lu Ao said to him: "If the price over there is affordable, I will buy from you."

Old Xu didn't hesitate, "That's definitely a good deal. You are a big customer, and I won't cheat anyone. Tell me what you want first, and I'll take a phone to write it down. How about I get it together for you later?" ?”

Lu Ao didn't nod, "Let's look at the seedlings first."

Knowing that Lu Ao might be a big customer, Old Xu cared a lot. He accompanied Lu Ao and Songzhou to visit all the way, looking at all kinds of seedlings.

The quality of the seedlings on his side is really good, and the price negotiated in the end is also cheap, Lu Ao was a little moved by it.

He discussed with Songzhou and gave a deposit.

Lu Ao's marine ranch has not been finished yet, and the ordered artificial reefs have not arrived yet. It is convenient to throw these seedlings down after the artificial reefs are transported and put into the sea.

If there is no artificial reef, and no algae such as kelp, wakame, and seaweed are planted as feed for abalone and sea cucumber, these seedlings will have to be artificially fed every day after being cast, which is too troublesome.

Old Xu's family was so worried that they didn't know how much hair they lost. He was very happy to hear the news today, and he didn't mind that Lu Ao hadn't paid the full amount, and he didn't pick up the goods so quickly, so he insisted on pulling Lu Ao to let them stay for dinner.

Lin Yunqiao persuaded them together.

Lu Ao and Song Zhou did not refuse.

More than half of the meals they eat at night come from the seafood raised by Lao Xu himself.

I don't know if it's Lao Xu's wife who is good at cooking, or the quality of the seafood he raises is really good. After eating this meal, Lu Ao is very satisfied.

After parting with Lin Yunqiao, the two walked on the road while looking for a suitable place to teleport.

Lu Ao was so sleepy, he muttered, "I talked about business all afternoon this afternoon, and you didn't say much?"

Song Zhou turned to look at him, "I've been looking at you all afternoon, and I forgot what to say, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that you don't speak, and you are a little neglected." Lu Ao grabbed his hand, with a little guilt in his eyes, "You are so busy with work and time is so tight, and I specially brought you here for this kind of occasion, It feels like a waste of your time."

"What does it matter? I don't live for work." Song Zhou smiled, "I'm very happy when I'm with you. You're very attractive when you're working, and of course you're also very attractive at ordinary times."

The two people intertwined their fingers, Lu Ao did not expect to hear such words.

He froze for a while, and it took him a long time to find his words, "I thought you didn't like me going out to work."

"How could it be?" Song Zhou was very gentle, "Every individual needs to work, not just for money or other material benefits, but also for a sense of spiritual accomplishment. It's good if you work spiritually."

Lu Ao looked at him.

Song Zhou turned around, and the two looked at each other, Song Zhou's face was very peaceful.

Song Zhou is usually very good-looking, but now after saying such words, his whole body seems to be glowing, Lu Ao looked at him, and his heart softened.

At this moment, he thanked God or something else very clearly in his heart for allowing him to be so lucky to meet Song Zhou.

Song Zhou saw that his cheeks were a little red and his eyes were blurred, so he asked him with a smile, "What's the matter, why is there such an expression?"

Lu Ao suddenly reached out and hugged him, "It's nothing, I just suddenly think you are so handsome!"

Song Zhou shook his head and laughed.

While the two were talking, they found a secluded place and teleported back.

Fatty hadn't slept yet, and when they came back, he barked and followed them, pestering them all the time.

Song Zhou licked the dog's head and took out the dog food.

Lu Ao said while stroking the dog beside him: "The artificial reef I ordered should be almost done, and it will be delivered one after another on the sixth day of the new year."

"so fast?"

"It's not too soon. We already decided on it years ago. The process of artificial fish reefs is relatively simple. The most I ordered this time is cement reefs. In addition to cement reefs, there are also tire reefs, steel reefs, and shipwreck reefs. Anyway. There are all kinds of miscellaneous things."

These artificial reefs are placed in marine pastures, mainly to create an environment for fish to avoid natural enemies, seek bait or reproduce.

There are a lot of creatures in the shallow sea. With artificial reefs, the environment in the sea will be more complicated and accommodate more creatures, making it easier for them to carry out large-scale farming.

Song Zhou listened to him speak slowly.

Lu Ao has already made a lot of plans, and now it will be realized slowly.

He told Song Zhou step by step, "I don't plan to hire anyone for this marine ranch, I will manage it myself. After the artificial reef is placed in two days, I will start planting kelp and wakame, and try to let the plants grow first. Grow up and give the fish some predation conditions."

If they want to breed in a wild environment, they must provide enough food for sea cucumbers and abalones.

Compared with the real wild environment, their environment is still relatively crude, especially if they intend to do breeding, and the number of marine organisms released will definitely far exceed the real ones in the wild within a certain space.

Song Zhou asked: "There is no problem with these. After planting the relevant feed plants, how should we continue? Put the abalone and sea cucumber heads directly in this way?"

"My original plan was to vote directly like this."

Song Zhou laughed, "They can't move, so if you put them in like this, it's hard to say how much you can get back."

"I know." Lu Ao said seriously, "Be mentally prepared, and we will count as much as we can get back at that time. We originally planned to build a semi-public marine ranch this time. Even if we only harvest half of it, the money we earn is enough to maintain this. Ocean Ranch."

Song Zhou asked: "The sea cucumbers and abalones you put in all escaped. There is no such precedent before."

"I can accept this, but I don't think it should be like this." Lu Ao is very optimistic, "The sea area near the sea area we contracted is relatively barren, even if they want to escape, they can't escape far. After escaping to other places , they simply couldn’t find enough food, and eventually they had to come back.”

Even if this idea is a bit naive, Lu Ao does not intend to enclose it with net frames like other people's marine ranches. If it is raised in this way, it will not be much different from fish raft farming.

He is willing to give them a more free environment.

As long as the resources in the nearby sea area are not suddenly enriched, there is no need to worry that the raised sea cucumbers, abalones and the like will escape. After all, these simple animals mainly follow the food, and they cannot escape when the food is here.

Seeing that he had thought everything through, Song Zhou said with a smile, "Go ahead and do it, I will accompany you."

Lu Ao nodded vigorously, "Okay."
