"Okay, okay, we're not worried about you now. Just be careful when you go out to sea. If you can't handle it, don't go out to sea. It's good that you two brothers are running this aquaculture farm together."
After Jiang Yunxiang said that, Ye Guowei was also tempted.
“That’s right, Cheng, this aquaculture farm is enough for us to live on. Why do we still need to go out to sea? It’s too dangerous. People say your boat almost sank. You were just lucky this time.”
Without going to sea, how could that be possible?
Going overseas can be very lucrative, and with our own early warning system, we're not afraid at all.
It can also dive, so it's unlikely to die in the sea.
This time, it was because I was too reckless that I ended up in danger.
After comforting his elder brother and sister-in-law, Ye Cheng ate and drank his fill and went home.
As I passed by the village entrance, I happened to run into Duan Chunsheng and a few of his acquaintances chatting there, so I walked over.
"Hey, Second Brother's here. I heard you almost got into trouble last night? Be careful next time," Duan Chunsheng said half-jokingly.
Ye Cheng offered a round of cigarettes.
"Yeah, I bumped into something last night because I didn't see clearly. Without you, Uncle Duan, here, we young people are really nervous."
"Hahaha, it's one thing for other people to panic, but you're the one who's panicking," Duan Chunsheng teased.
“Let me tell you,” Yuan Mazi interjected, “the Chen family was so happy to hear you crashed your ship. They said your luck has finally run out.”
Heh, Ye Cheng was too lazy to say anything. The Chen family really couldn't stand to see him doing well.
"It's alright, let them have their fun. I'm fine anyway, I'll go out to sea again next time."
"Yes." Duan Chunsheng patted Ye Cheng on the shoulder. "Next time, bring your Uncle Duan along. How about we go tomorrow?"
"Uncle Duan, my boat still needs a few more days of repairs. You go and have some fun by yourself."
"Alright, kid. Uncle Duan is going out to sea first. If you have time these next few days, go and see Duan Yong. The crayfish breeding house will be finished soon, you should go and see it too."
"So fast?" Ye Cheng was taken aback; this speed was a bit too fast.
Yuan Mazi came closer.
"Second brother, my Jiansheng also contributed."
Duan Chunsheng rolled his eyes at him.
"I know, I know, but I didn't say your son didn't contribute."
Yuan Mazi smiled憨厚ly.
"This kid is so diligent now, he's a completely different person from before. It's better to follow the second brother."
Ye Cheng knew that Yuan Mazi was trying to curry favor with his son. After all, he wasn't that close to Ye Cheng, unlike Duan Chunsheng, so he could only rely on himself to say a few words.
"Uncle Yuan, don't worry, I will give them every penny they are entitled to. I will go and take a look tomorrow and then get started."
Now that the seedling nursery is ready, Ye Cheng needs to buy equipment and start spending money.
Nothing happened that night.
The next morning, Ye Cheng took Duan Yong and Yuan Jiansheng to see the seedling room.
The house was built next to the stream, covering nearly 100 square meters. There was nothing inside at the moment, except for several ponds as per Ye Cheng's request.
One of the pools was already filled with water, and there were dozens of strong crayfish inside.
"Brother Cheng, these are parent shrimp. I plan to let them mate and hatch in here."
Ye Cheng casually scooped up a few; these crayfish were indeed very strong and full of energy.
"What's the male-to-female ratio among you?" Ye Cheng asked casually.
"Huh?" When Ye Cheng asked what the ratio was, Duan Yong scratched his head. "Brother Cheng, I just jumped randomly. I didn't count. Are there any requirements?"
"It's okay, it's normal for the first time. Pick another one from here. The male to female ratio is about 1:3. You guys take notes."
"Oh." The two of them took out a notebook and started taking notes like elementary school students.
"Then when feeding them, give them some high-protein food, and some earthworms and snail meat. This will help them with that, understand?"
"I understand, bro, about that."
"Then the water temperature also needs to be controlled, between 22 and 28 degrees Celsius, and the water needs to be changed every day."
You should bring in river water to keep a flow, but you still need to change the water occasionally.
Duan Yong and Yuan Jiansheng frowned repeatedly as they listened, wondering why this thing was so difficult to handle.
Ye Cheng looked at them.
“I’m not asking you to bring buckets to change the water yourselves. We need to buy machines, including temperature control. Otherwise, how will you manage? Duan Yong, come with me to get the money. We’ll get 30,000 yuan first. We can’t skimp on things that need to be spent.”
Duan Yong pursed his lips. "You should have said you had money earlier."
Ye Cheng continued, pointing to the other pools,
"Then we'll make a few more ponds. Once the female shrimp starts carrying eggs, we'll move her out of the big pond to prevent her from being attacked. Also, once the baby shrimp hatch, we'll move them to a separate pond. The female shrimp will eat the baby shrimp, and if she does, all our efforts will be wasted."
“Okay, we’ve got all of this in mind.” Duan Yong and Yuan Jiansheng were both taking notes. They could only remember so much, but there would probably be a lot more to do when it came to actually doing it.
Seeing how focused the two were, Ye Cheng was very pleased.
"While we're working on this, Duan Yong, you also need to find someone to start digging ponds. There are two ponds in total, one for raising shrimp, that is, for small shrimp, and one for adult shrimp, understand?"
"Okay, Brother Cheng, we'll find someone to dig the pool as soon as possible."
At this point, Duan Yong suddenly stopped writing and said,
"Brother Cheng, I see the Chen family has already started digging. Should we spend a little more money to hire someone to speed things up?"
"No need." Ye Cheng shook his head decisively. "There's no need. Raising livestock is a long-term process. They don't survive like that when they're kept outdoors."
"Here, these packets contain insect repellent powder. You can sprinkle some in whenever you want. If you need more, just ask me."
Before coming, Ye Cheng redeemed some universal insect repellent powder from the system.
"Okay." Duan Yong took it and put it away.
Duan Yong stopped, and Yuan Jiansheng continued, "Brother Cheng, there's something else. Right now, A Yong is in charge of the farm, and I'm mainly responsible for collecting the crayfish."
"Yeah, Duan Yong's been pretty busy lately, thanks for your hard work." Ye Cheng casually offered him a cigarette.
Giving subordinates timely morale boosts is a common tactic used by bosses; it costs nothing and can inspire their fighting spirit.
Yuan Jiansheng was clearly inexperienced in the workplace and was deeply moved by Ye Cheng's words of comfort.
"Brother Cheng, it's okay for me to work a little harder, it's just that the purchase price of crayfish is getting higher and higher. Sometimes I have to pay 3 yuan to get them. At such a high price, are we still going to buy them?"
It's already three yuan a pound.
Ye Cheng was a little surprised. Although he knew the price would rise, he was surprised by how quickly it was rising.
It's only been a short time. At this rate, it could suddenly reach 5 yuan.
That would significantly increase their own costs, and the most frustrating thing is that it's impossible for prices to rise by the same amount.
Because Mr. Qian had told him that several crayfish shops had already appeared in Donghai City.
