1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer Chapter 575

Earlier this year.

When Li Duoyu communicated with several shrimp farmers on Hong Kong Island, he already knew that overseas provinces are now the largest shrimp farming bases in Asia.

They mainly raise not Chinese prawns, but Penaeus monodon. Since this kind of shrimp likes to live in places with aquatic plants and seaweed in estuaries when they are young, people from overseas provinces generally call them grass shrimps.

 Here in mainland China, they are generally called black tiger shrimps because they have the same lines as tigers.

When Dandan Island fishermen lower their nets, they can occasionally catch black tiger prawns. The largest individual weighs more than a pound, which is much larger than the prawns in Hong Kong.

Li Duoyu remembers that there was a time in his previous life when the sales of white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) were not good, so black tiger shrimp was still raised in China. This kind of shrimp is more difficult to raise and the price is more expensive than white shrimp.

As far as Li Duoyu knows, there are not only black tiger shrimps in Penaeus monodon, but also red tiger shrimps and green tiger shrimps. Among them, the largest individual of blue tiger shrimps can grow to nearly two kilograms, and one cannot be eaten at all.

The fishermen on Dandan Island occasionally catch one or two large shrimps like this, which are usually bought by fishmongers at a high price as soon as they land on the pier.

It is a pity that there are relatively few sea areas near Dandan Island for Penaeus monodon, and the broodstock does not breed the next generation here. Otherwise, Li Duoyu can also cultivate this kind of shrimp.

Since Haixin Group's shrimp larvae are obtained from overseas provinces, they are not raising local prawns, but black tiger shrimps.

This is one of the reasons why they are so confident. After all, the shrimps they raise will be larger than the shrimps in Hong Kong, so they are naturally easier to sell.

 But Li Duoyu does not pursue big shrimps. If he wants to raise real giant shrimps, he must raise them for at least the next year.

For a shrimp farmer, the longer the breeding time, the greater the risk, and even the issue of winterization has to be considered.

If the temperature is too low, you have to build a greenhouse and install a boiler to overwinter the shrimp. The cost is too high and it is not cost-effective at all.

 In this day and age, even if they are on the coast, having a plate of shrimps when entertaining guests is considered a great honor.

Li Duoyu thinks that after four or five months of raising this batch of prawns, they will be ready to go on the market together with this batch of blue crabs when they are about 15 to 20 heads (fifteen per pound).

As long as he sells these shrimps and crabs, he will immediately become a rich man again.

 At present, the annual harvest of an average shrimp farmer from one acre of shrimp pond is only about one to two hundred kilograms.

But if Li Duoyu comes to raise, he is quite confident that he can harvest 400 kilograms of them per acre.

 At present, the purchase price of shrimp is relatively stable, almost three yuan per catty.

Li Duoyu's current ponds on Dandan Island and the shrimp ponds on Qixing Bay total almost 500 acres.

By then, the ideal income can reach nearly 600,000 yuan, and that's just for prawns, he also has blue crabs.

 The output and market of blue crabs are not as big as that of shrimps, but if everything goes well, there is no problem in contributing 70,000 to 80,000 yuan to him.

  If it can be shipped before the Spring Festival this year, the price will be even more beautiful. If you are lucky.

 He might actually become a real millionaire.

Li Duoyu smiled and said:

“Second brother, you don't need to save money, especially on feed and management. I will figure out a solution for the money issue.”

Li Yaoguo pursed his lips and nodded. He didn't mean to preach at all, he just wanted to remind Duoyu.

 After all, this guy has a criminal record. When he was smuggling, he spent money quite freely.

At this moment, a villager named Lao Hei ran over in a hurry: "Yao Guo, hurry up and take a look at your son."

 Halfway through the words, the other person began to pant. Seeing him running in such a hurry, Li Yaoguo became nervous.

 “Old Hei, what's wrong with Haoran?”

La Hei put his hands on his knees and gasped: "Hurry over and take a look. Your Haoran must have been bitten by a jellyfish when he was playing at the beach. Now he is crying in pain and his whole leg is swollen."

Hearing this, the second brother Li Yaoguo's expression changed drastically, and he asked on the spot: “Where is he?”

“Over at Badwater Bay, he is in so much pain that he can't walk, and no one dares to bring him back.”

“Duoyu, please collect the account book and I'll go over first.”

After Li Yaoguo finished speaking, he ran out on the spot. Li Duoyu had never seen his second brother run so fast in his life.

Hearing that Haoran was bitten, Li Duoyu was also very worried. He hurriedly put away the account book and planned to see if it was serious.

But before setting off, Li Duoyu asked for some alum and a glass bottle from Lao Yang's Xiaochao Shop, and also borrowed his fish-killing knife.

 Lao Yang looked puzzled: "Director Li, what are you doing with these things?"

 “I'll pay you back later.”

They have alum here, which can be used to pickle jellyfish. Most restaurants will prepare some. If you are really bitten by a jellyfish, this thing is very useful.

Just after coming out of Lao Yang's Fried Shop, Li Duoyu saw Lao Lu's wife hanging out her child's diapers at the pier.

She had just hung it up when Li Duoyu took it away and said with a smile:

“Aunt Lanying, I'll take one away first and buy you a new one later.”

The aunt who was hanging the clothes looked puzzled. She had no idea why Li Duoyu wanted to take a child's diaper.

　　Although she was washed very clean, she had just pooped after all, so she didn't mind the smell at all.

Before she could ask, Li Duoyu had already disappeared.

Baishui Beach is still a bit far from the village. It would take more than ten minutes to run there, but Li Duoyu only ran for ten minutes before catching up with his second brother.

 Perhaps because I ran too fast at the beginning, I no longer have any strength, and my whole face is very ugly.

But he still endured it and kept "running" forward. Seeing his second brother out of breath, Li Duoyu shook his head and said, "You'd better slow down. I'll go over and see what's going on."

When Li Duoyu came to Badshuitan, there was no need to look for where Li Haoran was.

On the beach not far away, there were about ten people gathered around, and Li Haoran's screams like killing pigs could be heard in the distance.

 “It hurts, it hurts!”

Li Haoran was lying on the ground, feeling so painful that his hands kept hammering the beach, and his whole face was in pain as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis.

There were four or five adults in the crowd of onlookers. What surprised Li Duoyu was that his second sister-in-law, Zhu Xiuhua, had already arrived here first.

Someone shouted anxiously:

"Xiuhua, hold his hand, don't let him scratch it. There are thorns on the wound. If you grab it, your hand will be destroyed."

Someone else said:

“If there is any charcoal, give him some ash and sprinkle it on him. This is the most effective.”

Li Duoyu took a brief look and found that the little fat man was really bitten badly this time. Both legs were a bit miserable, as if he had just eaten an enhanced version of "Stir-fried Pork with Bamboo Shoots", all of which were covered with shocking whip marks. .

The two little boys next to him, although not as serious as him, were also injured and cried out in pain.

When everyone saw him coming, they quickly made room for him. A flatterer said: "There are many fish here, and he has the most ideas. Maybe there is a way to deal with it."

 Second sister-in-law Zhu Xiuhua's face was also covered with tears. She felt sorry for Haoran when she saw that he was so painful that he punched the beach.

“Duoyu, is there anything you can do? Haoran has been crying out in pain. He almost lost his breath when he was crying just now.”

After seeing Li Duoyu, Xiao Pangdun cried so hard that his nose ran out: "Uncle, my leg is so hot and painful. It's like burning."

At this moment, an adult came over carrying a bucket of water and shouted:

“Everyone, please give in. The well water is coming. Wash the wounds first.”

Seeing that the other party brought water from a well, Li Duoyu instantly frowned and quickly stopped him: "Don't wash it yet, I'll take care of it."

The man went on to say: "You can use well water to cool down. It will definitely make you feel better."

Li Duoyu didn't bother to explain to them why he couldn't use clean water after being bitten by a jellyfish. Because after a jellyfish stings, the wound is covered with tiny stingers and venom remains.

 Once clean water is used, the venom will intensify and spread, causing more serious consequences.

 The correct way to deal with it is to find a way to pull out the stinger first, but the thing is very small and not easy to see clearly with the naked eye.

 So you need to use cotton cloth. Of course, you can also take off your clothes.

But the diaper that the lady dried just now is very suitable for removing stingers and wiping out jellyfish venom.

Li Duoyu poured some alum into a can glass bottle, and then dissolved it with sea water.

After preparing the alum water, Li Duoyu put the diaper directly into the water cup, wetted it, and wiped Li Haoran's wound.

When the diaper soaked in alum water touched the red and swollen wound on the little fat man, he instantly screamed in pain.

Li Duoyu said in a deep voice: "Hold it, don't move."

 After being yelled by Li Duoyu like this, Li Haoran immediately behaved a lot, but his teeth were still clenched.

 The villagers on the side couldn't help but ask: "Duoyu, what kind of water is this?"

Li Duoyu replied casually:

 “This is alum.”

 “The alum that pickled jellyfish?”

Li Duoyu nodded. In fact, he didn't understand why alum was effective for this.

Maybe this thing is inherently resistant to jellyfish. The jellyfish they often eat is actually pickled with alum.

There is even a professional name called "Three Alum Processing Method", which is to pickle it with alum three times. It is said that the jellyfish produced in this way can meet the export standards.

After Li Duoyu wiped it with cotton cloth, he could still see many small black dots near the wound.

That thing is probably the nematocyst of a jellyfish. It is not easy to wipe off. After being stung by a jellyfish, the most fearful thing is to grab it with your hands.

If this thing is broken, the amount of toxin will be doubled by then. Many people are stung by jellyfish and their condition worsens because of their poor hands.

When the second brother Li Yaoguo ran over, he was panting and his face was almost the color of pig liver.

 But he had just squeezed into the crowd when he happened to see Li Duoyu take out a bright fish-killing knife.

 “Duoyu, what are you doing with the knife?”

Li Duoyu replied: "It's just a venomous sting, don't worry, your Haoran will not lose half a piece of meat."

This knife is a fish-killing knife that Li Duoyu borrowed from Lao Yang. Lao Yang usually has the habit of sharpening knives. This knife feels very sharp.

Second sister-in-law Zhu Xiuhua was so angry when she saw Li Yaoguo that she wanted to punch him twice.

“Don't make any noise to Duoyu, he is treating our wounds in Haoran?”

Zhu Xiuhua looked at the panting man in front of her and cursed angrily: "How come Haoran has been stung? Duoyu has been here for so long, why did you just come?"

 Li Yaoguo is also helpless. His physical fitness is incomparable to Duoyu. He runs as freely as the wind. He can't catch up at all.

Li Haoran was frightened out of his wits when he saw the fish knife in his uncle's hand. At this moment, he really wanted to faint so that he wouldn't have to suffer.

Li Duoyu took the fish-killing knife and gently scraped the surface of Li Haoran's wound. It felt like shaving pig hair.

Where the blade of the blade passed, thin black spots were scraped off. It took about ten minutes, and Li Duoyu was already sweating profusely, to scrape off all the small black spots.

 Following that, he gently wiped it with alum water, but Li Haoran still felt very painful.

Li Duoyu frowned slightly. If he was stung by a jellyfish, it shouldn't be so painful or serious.

“Haoran, was it the little jellyfish with long tentacles that bit you?”

Li Haoran said with a bitter look on his face: "I didn't pay attention. After I was bitten, it was very painful. I ran up from the sea directly."

 The child next to him who was also bitten raised his hand and said, "Director Li, I saw it was indeed a small jellyfish. It was blue and looked a bit like a hat."

Hearing this, Li Duoyu was slightly startled. No wonder Li Haoran was in such pain. It turned out to be a man-of-war jellyfish.

 Even if an adult is bitten by this thing, he will probably cry for his father and mother.

But this thing is not distributed in Dandan Island. Most of the local jellyfish are jellyfish, whip jellyfish, and Tan Kah Kee jellyfish. It is rare to see man-of-war jellyfish, so why did it come to them?

 Could it be that there is another problem with the climate? After Li Duoyu took care of it.

Little Fatty still wanted to try to stand up, but Li Duoyu frowned and said, "Try not to move, to reduce the spread of toxins, and let your mother carry you back."

“Also, go back and soak the wound with warm water at 40 degrees Celsius for half an hour. It should not hurt so much.”

“Second sister-in-law, please take a closer look. If Haoran has allergies or breathing discomfort, go to the health center immediately.”

 After dealing with Little Fatty, Li Duoyu then dealt with the other two children who were not as serious.

They only had one or two "whips" on their legs, and the condition was not very serious. When their parents learned about the situation, they came to Badwater Beach one after another.

It can be seen that after seeing the real bamboo whip in the hands of their parents, these children were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They didn't care about the pain in their calves and ran away immediately.

“The July Ghost Festival is coming soon. I told you not to go to the sea to play. Are you turning a deaf ear to my words?”

“Can you please ask Director Li to treat your wounds?”

Seeing two shirtless children running and crying, Li Duoyu couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that when he was a child, he was often chased and beaten by his mother-in-law.

Little Fatty escaped due to serious injuries, otherwise he might have had to eat a meal of "fried pork with bamboo shoots".

Some villagers were curious. Li Duoyu had previously given mouth-to-mouth to the son of Lao Mao's family and rescued him.

 Unexpectedly, even jellyfish now know how to deal with them. Some people couldn't help but asked: "Duoyu, how come you don't even know this?"

 Li Duoyu laughed casually: "I saw it in magazines and books."

Li Duoyu said seriously to the man who brought the well water: "Ah Shui, if you encounter this kind of situation in the future, never use water or alcohol to clean the wound, otherwise it will only become more serious."

But Ah Shui was still a little unconvinced: "Okay, Chen Wenchao was stung before. It's okay. Just wash it with water and it'll be fine."

Li Duoyu said: "Jellyfish are not very poisonous and the bite will not be particularly serious. The blue jellyfish is more terrifying."

At this moment, a naughty little boy came to Li Duoyu holding a branch and carrying a blue jellyfish. When the sea breeze blew, the long tentacles floated up.

“Director Li, is it this kind of thing?”

Li Duoyu's mouth twitched and he took a few steps back: “Yes, it's this kind of thing. Don't get too close to me.”

 Everyone couldn't help but laugh after seeing this scene.

Li Duoyu went to the beach for a brief walk, and he actually saw several man-of-war jellyfish.

Li Duoyu looked at the people on the beach with a serious expression and said: "There are a lot of poisonous jellyfish in the sea. Please stop playing in the water."

 After returning home, Xiaopangdun's two big carrot legs were soaked in a bucket of water at 42-3 degrees Celsius.

 After soaking for a while, Xiaopangdun's face finally looked better: "Mom, it doesn't seem to hurt that much anymore."

Zhu Xiuhua finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Do you still feel any pain or discomfort in breathing?"

Little Fatty scratched his head and said, "No, I just feel very hot all over and want to eat a popsicle."

After hearing this, Zhu Xiuhua became angry instantly and wanted to pull out the bamboo whip on the spot. (End of chapter)
