Chapter 3 Find a way
Gao replied proudly, "The seaweed reef is different from those ordinary reefs. Naturally, it has the same owner as the field, and can be bought and sold at will. Our Gao family has more than a dozen seaweed reefs. You can pick them if you want, and rent them to others if you don't want to pick them!"
When the fish heard Gao's mention of picking seaweed, he couldn't help but become more curious and want to know how the seaweed was picked, so he couldn't help asking, "Aunuch Gao, this seaweed grows on the reef. How did you pick them down when you picked them?"
Gao is also a talkative person. In addition, she looks at the fish very well, feels that the fish is a good match with her son, and she is even more eager to marry the fish back as her daughter-in-law!
Therefore, Gao saw that the fish was interested in picking seaweed and was very happy to tell the fish what she knew. She also wanted to get closer to each other and get to know each other more through these conversations.
So soon Gao introduced to the fish: "This picking seaweed is not a simple job. First of all, the people who went to pick are very good at mountain climbing, because only because they are good at climbing mountains and rock climbing can they flexibly climb sticky and slippery reefs, and they can not only climb. Just..."
Liu paused, picked up a teacup and took a sip of tea, and then continued to say, "After climbing up the seaweed reef, they can only grab the hanging rope or rock wall with one hand, and the other hand has to quickly roll the seaweed grown on the reef into a roll, and then put the bundle of seaweed into the basket behind them."
"Most of the seaweed reefs are stormy and rough. They may fall and die at any time, so they have to be more careful when they move. That's why there is a folk saying that there is a saying that "the waves are more dangerous than shooting seaweed"
After listening to Gao's introduction of the specific method of picking seaweed, the fish silently summed up a conclusion in his heart - it turned out that in the Northern Song Dynasty, people who made a living by collecting wild seaweed also had the excellent quality of modern rock climbers.
Gao is also an experienced fishing girl, and she knows a lot about the work of collecting seaweed. In addition, she sat at Yang's house all afternoon, so when she finished saying everything she could say and got up to say goodbye, Yuer had a further understanding of seaweed in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Therefore, as soon as Gao left, the fish who had collected all the data and achieved his goal immediately said to Liu, "Mother, I don't think this Gao family looks very suitable. Let's take a look at a few more families before we talk about it!" Marrying a daughter is not selling pork. Let's choose a good choice!"
After saying this, the fish wanted to slip away with oil on the soles of his feet. Unexpectedly, Liu had already seen through the fish's thoughts. As soon as he raised his foot and walked away, he was pulled back by Liu's collar...
Liu Shi crossed his waist and bluffed his face, gritted his teeth and asked, "Find a good customer!" You are the son-in-law again!"
"Yes, yes! We are picking our husband's son-in-law. I just made a slip of my tongue for a moment. Yuer saw that he was rarely humorous, but Liu didn't understand humor and had to correct it, so he couldn't help feeling a little sad.
However, even if Yu'er's eyes were no more sad, Liu had already automatically blocked all the ways of refusing marriage, and Liu's relentlessly asked, "You told your mother, why is this Gao family inappropriate?"
As soon as the fish heard this, she immediately tried her best to find a reason to prevaricate: "Gao family..."
Unexpectedly, the fish's words came to an end, and Liu interrupted rudely: "Don't give me those unreliable reasons! If you can't say a reason for me to agree with you, then obediently regard the marriage proposal of the Gao family as a serious matter and treat it well for me!"
Liu's words made Yuer smile and swallowed the excuse that came to her mouth. After thinking about it for a long time, her eyes lit up and found an excellent excuse to refuse!
That good excuse made the fish not intend to slip away. She immediately changed her attitude and said seriously with a face, "Mother, this time I didn't come up with any unreliable excuses. The ancestors of the Gao family have been doing the work of climbing the reef and picking seaweed. How dangerous the work is! Maybe after I got married, I would become a widow in a few years..."
Yu'er's words made Liu's face gradually become solemn, and Yu'er saw that Liu's words listened to him and hurriedly added: "Mom, you also heard it before. Aunt Gao said that it was very dangerous to pick seaweed, and if you are not careful, you will be swept away by the dangerous waves!"
Liu raised her eyebrows and subconsciously muttered, "I really didn't expect this. It seems that this Gao family can't get married. Even if they pick seaweed and make money, if they don't have the life to spend that money, it will be useless! You have to find the right person again..."
When Yuer saw that Liu accepted her statement and no longer pulled her, but turned her thoughts to find a new family, she immediately slipped out of the hall and re-entered the bookstore, intending to think about the feasibility of breeding a large number of seaweed and selling this money-making way...
The fish had previously learned the origin of seaweed farming from Gao's mouth and had a certain understanding of the current seaweed in the Northern Song Dynasty. It is said that fishermen in Haizhou Bay in the early days were either inspired by nature or benefited from the breeding experience of the people in the South China Sea. It is said that at the beginning, fishermen found seaweed growing on the reef by the sea, so they tried to sweep away the miscellaneous algae on the reef so that the seaweed seedlings could grow well.
Later, when the fishermen saw that some seaweed would be attached to the bamboo poles used for fishing, they inserted bundles of branches and bamboo branches into the shallow sea, so that the small seaweed could breed on them, and then harvest them when they grew more and matured.
This can be said to be the most primitive method of breeding seaweed. The ancestors have been collecting seaweed for a living. At present, these two most primitive methods are used. However, these two methods are too passive. Basically, they rely on the natural growth of seaweed, and then people will harvest them when they are almost grown. The day after tomorrow, they can't make any effort to improve the growth of seaweed.
The most primitive method is used to grow seaweed, so that the owners of seaweed reef can't guarantee that seaweed can grow well. When harvesting, it also depends on luck, and the quantity is more or less. It is likely that only a small amount of seaweed will be harvested in the end, which will greatly reduce the harvest of the year.
After taking care of these, the fish quickly found the problem - if the fish want to make money by breeding seaweed, they must think of ways to make seaweed grow well and breed!
However, is there any way to make seaweed grow better and lower at a lower cost?
The fish knew that this method could not be recorded in books before the Northern Song Dynasty or the Northern Song Dynasty, otherwise it is impossible for fishermen in the Northern Song Dynasty to use the most primitive method to obtain seaweed. That is to say, at present, the fish can only try to recall the knowledge brought from modern times in their heads, and can only find solutions from the relevant knowledge that fish has learned before...
Fish are not afraid of finding a way, because seaweed in later generations is no longer valuable and can be seen everywhere, which proves that someone must have thought of a way to breed seaweed in large quantities. And the fish majoring in "aquaculture" must have come into contact with this method, otherwise the fish will study in college for four years in his previous life!
However, what the fish is more worried about is another thing - the fish may slowly recall the method of breeding seaweed, but what the fish is most worried about is that this method must rely on modern technology to complete!
If this is the case, the plan to make the Yang family rich by breeding a large amount of seaweed will result in advance.
Fortunately, the competition in Yuer's previous era was very fierce, which made Yuer dare not waste her precious time studying in school. In the four years of college, she was also a diligent and hard-working student, and the knowledge that should be learned was also taken seriously.
Therefore, after carefully thinking about it for a few days, the fish finally thought of two ways to improve the growth of seaweed - "vegetable farming method" and "semi-floating raft farming method".
The latter one of these two methods of raising seaweed should be only in modern times. At present, the fish has not had time to elaborate and recall, and it is not sure whether it can be implemented in the Northern Song Dynasty for a while. However, the fish remembers another seaweed farming method called the "vegetable altar breeding method", which was used by some people as early as the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty more than 300 years ago.
Therefore, the fish focused on recalling the vegetable altar farming method and soon determined that this method could also be implemented in the Northern Song Dynasty. So the fish, who has always wanted to rely on his professional knowledge to make a big career, immediately has the enthusiasm to have a try.
So the fish immediately found Yang Dazhu and Liu, and proposed with great interest: "Father and mother, how about renting a few seaweed reefs to raise seaweed? This seaweed is much more valuable than fish and shrimp, and there is no need to take care of it on weekdays. Just invite someone to pick it after the seaweed grows..."
Yu's words made Yang Dazhu and Liu subconsciously look at each other, and then Liu said, "Sister, why did you suddenly think of raising seaweed? Didn't you see the Gao family raise seaweed to make money, so you also want to rely on this to make a profit? Raising seaweed is not as easy as you think. If you are unlucky, you may encounter the situation that you can't pick seaweed on the whole seaweed reef!"
Of course, the fish knows that if you passively raise seaweed, you can only rely on luck, but at present, she can take the initiative to improve the growth of seaweed and make the seaweed grow thicker than before, so that the seaweed reef will not be "free". And if the "half floating raft breeding method" can also be implemented in the Northern Song Dynasty, the fish can even ensure that the seaweed raised by the Yang family will have a bumper harvest!
