Chapter 184 Oyster Breeding
184
Seeing that the oyster pancakes and oyster tofu soup were swept away by everyone, Bai Beibei smiled: "Brother Mannian, my mother was worried that the oysters would not taste good, so she didn't make more."

There is nothing to say about my mother's craftsmanship, but it may be the first time to make these two dishes, so the taste is a little bit worse than what she tasted before. If you make a few more improvements, you should have that taste. Moreover, when my mother made these two dishes, she hadn't put any flavored fruit sauce. Next time, she must ask her mother to remember to add the sauce to see which one tastes better.

Speaking of sauce, Bai Beibei thought of modern oyster sauce, which is also a very delicious seasoning, but the conditions here do not allow her to make oyster sauce, but she would like to try it when she has time. On the basis of the sauce, add some oyster meat sauce. I don't know how it tastes?

"Since this food is so delicious, don't we have to go to the sea to scoop up those oysters?" Man Feng said suddenly.

"Yes, yes, if others find out that these oysters are so delicious, they will have to snatch them from us." Man Nian also said anxiously.

"There are so many oysters in the sea, wouldn't they die if they were all scooped up? How can I eat them?" Zhao asked.

Bai Beibei hooked her lips and said, "This oyster meat can be preserved in the sun, but there will always be a day when the oysters in the sea will be exhausted, so I plan to raise oysters."

Now other fishermen don’t know that oysters can be eaten, but there is no impenetrable wall in the world. One day they will know that there are too many monks and too little porridge, so Bo Beibei wants to take advantage of the value of oysters that everyone does not know. Oyster seedlings.

"Keeping oysters?" Bai Dinghai pondered for a while and asked, "Did you read it from a book?"

"Yes." Bo Beibei replied obediently.

"Okay, okay, this way we can not only eat these delicious oysters every day, but also make a lot of money," Mannian said with a smile on his face, and then winked at Bai Beibei: "Beibei, I didn't mean it!" wrong?"

In the eyes of Mannian, apart from knowing how to eat, Bo Beibei also knows how to make money.

The corner of Bo Beibei's lips curled up: "That's right!"

Mrs. Zhao gave her son an angry look, "I just know how to eat!"

"Bei Bei, is raising oysters the same as raising sea fish?" Bai Dinghai asked.

Bai Beibei frowned, very glad that uncle could quickly ask questions every time.

"Uncle, raising oysters is different from raising sea fish. There are many ways to raise oysters. They can be raised by throwing stones, planted with bamboo, raised on rafts and sown on tidal flats. The oysters we eat today are the ones I brought from the bottom of the sea. It was taken out from the crevices of the rocks, but I think we are in the south, and the oysters we eat are most suitable for raft farming and tidal flat breeding.”

This time, she wants to raise oysters with real skills, and she doesn't want to rely on Lingyan water anymore, because she is worried that she will leave one day. Only when her brother and uncle and uncle have truly mastered the breeding skills can she really feel at ease.

Bo Dinghai and others were confused: "What is catapult farming, what is bamboo planting, and what is raft farming and tidal flat farming? Bebe, please explain in detail."

Facing everyone's thirsty gazes, Bo Beibei pondered for a moment, and said, "Let me first talk about raft farming and beach sowing."

"Raft farming is to choose a sea area with smooth tide, rich bait, calm wind and waves, and a water depth of more than four meters as the breeding site. Raft farming can also be divided into hanging rope farming and cage farming. I will talk about one of them first. cage farming."

"Beibei, wait a minute!" Mannian interrupted Bo Beibei and asked, "What did these oysters grow up on?"

"Oysters grow up by eating floating matter in the sea, so the location of oyster farming is also very important." Bai Beibei said.

"Okay, don't interrupt!" Bai Dinglang glared at his son, and said to Bai Beibei: "Babe, go on."

"Cage culture is the use of scallop cage culture. The oyster seedlings are put into the cage together with the shells and hung on the float."

"There are more requirements for tidal flat planting site selection. It should be selected in an inner bay with small wind and waves and smooth tidal flow. The bottom material is sandy mud flat or mud sand flat. The tidal area should be selected in the lower part of the mid-tide area and near the low-tide area. In our case According to the weather, the season for sowing seedlings in tidal flats should be from the end of the second month to the middle of March in the lunar calendar."

"There are two ways to sow seedlings on tidal flats. The first is dry-tide seedlings: sowing seedlings when the beach surface is dry after low tide.

Before sowing seedlings, the beach surface should be leveled, or a border-shaped base should be built before sowing seedlings.When sowing seedlings in dry tide, you should try your best to control the high tide immediately after sowing seedlings, so as to shorten the open time of oyster seedlings and avoid sowing seedlings when they are exposed to sunlight at noon. "

"The second way is to sow seedlings with water: take a boat to sow seedlings after high tide. Before sowing seedlings, cut the beach into strips, insert bamboo poles, wooden poles, etc. as signs, and scatter oyster seedlings on the boat after the tide. Sowing seedlings with water can not directly observe the distribution of oyster seedlings, often resulting in uneven seedlings, and the density of seedlings should be determined according to the quality of the beach and the fatness of the water."

Bo Beibei's mouth was a little dry, and he poured a glass of water and drank it and made a summary: "The most important thing about tidal flat breeding is to know how to watch the tide!"

Everyone listened quietly to Bo Beibei and fell into deep thought. After a long while, Bo Dinghai said: "Beibei, I don't understand what raft farming you are talking about, but the first species you mentioned is the tidal flat breeding. I think the method is feasible, except that it takes some effort to choose the land, the others are not difficult."

For fishermen like them who go to sea all the year round, they are not [-]% sure about the ebb and flow of the tide, but they still have a [-]% certainty, so Bai Dinghai immediately accepted the cultivation method of dry tide sowing seedlings.

Bo Beibei smiled: "Uncle, that's exactly what I meant, but we can also try to sow seedlings with water."

Bai Beibei wished that they could learn all about oyster farming, which would be safer, but she also knew that haste makes waste, so she asked everyone to learn the farming methods of sowing seedlings on tidal flats first.

"Beibei, then tell me when we will start raising oysters?" Manfeng and the young people were eager to try, and really wanted to go to the beach right away.

Bo Beibei frowned and thought for a while, then said: "We will move to a new house on February [-]st. According to the leader of the craftsman, your new house should be ready by then. I think it's better to wait for us to move in." We will start oyster farming after the new home, during this time we can prepare oyster seedlings and choose the beach site for oyster farming."

"Okay, okay!" Mannian is like Bai Beibei's answer, no matter what she says, she thinks it's good: "Mr. Riguan said that we can move to a new house on February [-]. If our family and uncle's family will be moved by then The new house can also be built, so why don't the three of us move on the same day!"
