Chapter 137 Watching the Shrimp
He didn't know exactly how many crayfish Ye Mo had in this batch.

Recently, Ye Mo has two bags of feed in the morning and two bags of feed in the afternoon...a bag of feed weighs 80 catties, and that's 320 catties a day. He can eat as much as he puts in.

Ye Mo suspects that crucian carp came to eat the lobster feed, but there is no evidence...

Now it is mid-November, and the price of crayfish has also risen.

But most of the crayfish in November are very thin, and the current price is not necessarily very high.

There are many factors that affect the price of crayfish, depending on whether the meat is plump or not.Look at the waters where crayfish are raised...

Where the water quality is good, the belly of crayfish is relatively clean.Where the water quality is poor, the joints of the crayfish are dirty, the hair on the abdomen is dirty, and there is dirt on the head, which is difficult to clean.For example, seedling fields, shallow ponds, and crayfish abdomens are not particularly clean, mainly because the water is shallow, and crayfish like to hide in mud.At this time, rinse it with clean water. If it can be rinsed clean, it means that the waters where these crayfish are located are not bad.At least it's not polluting the water...

Crayfish prices vary greatly.

The processed crayfish in some restaurants only sell for 19 yuan per catty.

Those 19 yuan and 1 catties crayfish are usually small sizes.If you see medium-sized crayfish selling for 19 yuan per catty, you need to pay a little attention.

The usual field price for small-sized crayfish is around 1 yuan per catty. When the market is good, it can be more than [-] yuan.This year's market is particularly good, small size crayfish sold for [-] yuan.

Ye Mo posted many photos and videos of crayfish on the Internet.On Douyin, Ye Mo also released some videos.Many people sent him private messages, and Ye Mo replied that the sale will start on the 21st...

Wholesalers will see lobsters on the 19th, which is two days later.There are also some netizens on the Internet who want to buy some food for themselves. They are all netizens from the same city. Ye Mo also privately told them their addresses one by one, and added WeChat.Let the morning of the 21st come over...

"The crayfish must be sold out quickly, don't wait until hibernation." Lin Xiaomian said.

"The temperature here is very warm in winter, and the crayfish hibernate, so it's not completely inactive." Ye Mo said: "Don't worry about this."

"What's the wholesale price?"

"The purchaser can only offer an offer after they come to have a look," Ye Mo said.

Good crayfish will be supplied to restaurants, as well as those restaurants with higher grades.These crayfish are expensive to sell, but the purchase cost is also relatively high.

Buyers buy these lobsters, and the bids are relatively high.

"When will you go to my house to get the ground cage?" Lin Xiaomian leaned into Ye Mo's arms and asked.

Ye Mo hugged Lin Xiaomian in his arms, and put one hand on the touching softness: "Your father said that he would send it to me in a few days. They are fine now, and they even said to help catch crayfish."

Lin Xiaomian pouted, "Mom and Dad are coming over."

"You don't want them coming?"

"no……"

Ye Mo put down the phone with a smile, and turned off the light: "We sleep together, you haven't told Auntie yet?"

"How dare you say such a thing." Lin Xiaomian puffed her cheeks.

This kind of thing, don't actually say it, you should know it.it's nothing……

Lin Xiaomian is not a minor, it's normal for her to have a boyfriend and live with her.Even if she doesn't say it, her parents know it, after all, they are all from the past.

……

In the next two days, Tang Xun and Chen Chen helped build the shelf, and Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen also came several times...

Tang Xun's father and father-in-law came to help for a long time.

The holes dug before were all set up, that is, about [-] holes.All the shelves are set up, and more than half of the bamboo poles are used...

The shelf built by Ye Mo is very strong, 3-year-old bamboo.Three into one, can bear relatively large weight.

The current shelf is converted into an area of ​​more than 13 mu.

It's the 19th.

Ye Mo received the aquatic product dealer and came to see the lobster.

Early in the morning, just as the sun came out, there was a thin layer of mist floating on the water.

The water in the reservoir is very clear.

These crayfish are used to being fed. Early in the morning, they ran to the feeding point and waited for food.

Ye Mo picked up some crayfish with a dipping net. These crayfish were green-shelled, relatively big, with small claws and very plump meat.

The crayfish fed with feed, even in November, are already full of meat.For free-range or semi-free-range crayfish, the meat quality will be less during this time period.

The fattest time for crayfish is summer.

These crayfish are very clean, with an average weight of 31 grams, which is 6 yuan.

Boss Zhang observes these crayfish, first weighs them, and then calculates the weight...

Ye Mo said: "Boss Zhang, how about my crayfish?"

"It's pretty. It's just tall, but it's a little small." Boss Zhang said.He is a crayfish supplier in Huacheng. He supplies many restaurants and restaurants, and sells crayfish to some tourist cities in Yunnan. He has relatively high requirements for the quality of crayfish.

"Catch the big ones and keep the small ones. The weight is more than 6 yuan, so it's considered a big freshwater prawn." Ye Mo said: "There are still a lot of big freshwater prawns in the reservoir."

The quality of the crayfish here is really good, the most important thing is the water quality of this reservoir, which is quite beautiful.

The water in the reservoir is blue, and such crayfish breeding sites are rare.There are still a lot of aquatic plants in the reservoir, which looks very comfortable.

The price of crayfish this year is higher than in previous years.

Seriously speaking, the requirement for large-sized red-shelled crayfish is more than 10 yuan.

But here is green shrimp, and green shrimp has another set of specifications. More than 6 yuan, even if it is a big freshwater prawn.The price, that is, 26 seven yuan.

"Large green shrimp, 33 yuan." Boss Zhang thought for a long time. The quality of the green shrimp here is very good. It is very difficult to buy large green shrimp of the same quality: "25 yuan for medium shrimp, how about it?"

"How much?"

"Daqing, about 300 catties per day..." Boss Zhang said with a smile, "Medium shrimp is less than one thousand catties per day."

33 yuan per catty, this price...

There are still a lot of crayfish with an average weight of more than 6 yuan.

Ye Mo said: "The big green prawns here are full of meat and of good quality..."

Boss Zhang said: "The current price of large freshwater prawns above 6 yuan is 26. The quality here is really good, so I can only give you 33 yuan. If you don't believe my quotation, go to other farmers to see for yourself. .”

There are also several aquatic product owners who will come to see the goods, Ye Mo did not rush to agree, and said: "Before the official fishing, I will give you news."

"The highest price I can offer is 33 yuan." Boss Zhang put the crayfish back into the water. To be honest, he likes the crayfish here.I have been in the aquatic business for more than ten years, and this is the first time I have seen a crayfish farm with such good water quality.

This is a large reservoir with an area... estimated to be sixty or seventy acres.It is the first time I have seen crayfish planted in the reservoir.

The water here is very clear, not cloudy at all.The crayfish caught are also very clean, cleaner than those raised in some cement ponds.But unfortunately, the breeding cycle is a bit short, and after two or three months of breeding, the green shells will still be maintained, and all of them will cost more than 10 yuan, which is the real best.

Large reservoirs, deep water, and clean water... can also grow red shells, but they need a relatively long breeding cycle.The shells of those red-shelled crayfish are thinner than those in shallow water.Shrimp claws are also relatively small... so the price of crayfish is also very high.

Green-shelled crayfish are more expensive than red-shelled crayfish, which is relatively speaking.

Crayfish raised on full feed can cost three to four to five dollars in more than a month.Three months, six or seven or eight dollars.Four months, eighty or ninety dollars...

The best crayfish, semi-free range, about 6 months old, with an average weight of about 10 yuan.Such green-shell crayfish are very rare, but the price is by no means cheap.At least 40 yuan per catty.Good quality, more than 1 yuan per catty, and the supply is in short supply.
