Chapter 138 Are you a good stepmother or a bad stepmother?

Even Grandpa Sun, who has always liked Lin Wanxia, ​​raised objections this time.

"Xia Xia, I know you are a good girl and want to make money with everyone. But breeding is really not possible!" Grandpa Sun denied it bluntly, "If it is easy to raise, why would we risk our lives to go to the 246 sea area?"

Who would risk their lives in the deep sea when they can earn money by the sea?

"You may think that it is easy to raise things in the sea and it is easy to make money. But, Xia Xia, there is no such thing as a free lunch. If it is really that easy, wouldn't everyone do it?

There are people in our village who have done the seawater aquaculture you mentioned. At that time, they were just trying to get a spoon in a big pot. It was funded by the public.

The aquaculture equipment they got may not be as complete as you, but no matter how good the equipment is, you still have to sink it into the sea, right?"

Lin Wanxia nodded.

"You grew up by the sea, you should know how ruthless the sea is when it turns its face, strong winds and heavy rains come at any time, and a wave can be more than two meters high."

"But farmers also depend on the weather for their livelihood. If there is drought, there is no guarantee of harvest. Aren't people still farming?"

Grandpa Sun glared, "How can it be the same? There will only be droughts and no guarantee of harvest once every few years at most. Most of the time, we can still get food. But it's different in the sea!

Girl, for seawater farming, do you have to throw farming nets into the sea, and then put fish, shrimps and seafood in boxes to farm? The most you can do is to build a walkable rack on the sea.

Let's not talk about whether you can grow fish well or not. Let me ask you, if there is a heavy rain and the sea level rises, will the fish run away with the rising sea water?

And..."

Grandpa Sun told Lin Wanxia one by one about the pitfalls they had encountered in farming.

Lin Wanxia listened for a while and there were two main problems.

The first is the problem of fish and shrimp escaping from jail.

The second is the problem of breeding.

The third is the problem of selling.

For Lin Wanxia, ​​escaping from jail is not a

big problem. Her golden finger can make great white sharks come to guard the door, just like a sheepdog can herd sheep, and the great white shark can also watch the fish school so that they don't escape from jail. No matter how strong the wind and waves are, the fish school dare not leave without her order.

But this cannot be said to Grandpa Sun.

Moreover, Lin Wanxia wants to bring the whole village to breed together, and the golden finger cannot be opened too obviously.

It is indeed a problem.

The problem with breeding is that sea creatures with strong adaptability are prone to death once they are raised in large quantities. Sea

creatures that can never be killed by storms in normal times become more delicate than mermaids after being bred.

Sometimes there is a lack of oxygen, sometimes the sea water temperature is not good, and sometimes the water quality is not good.

In short, you will die if you are not careful.

The last problem was indeed a big concern in the past, but recently Lei Yanjun is dredging the sales channels into the inland, and this problem has become the easiest to solve for Lin Wanxia.

Lin Wanxia has to solve these problems before she can convince the villagers to follow her in breeding.

There are many breeding methods to choose from in the island city, including beach breeding, shallow sea breeding, and bay breeding.

Fish, shrimp, crabs, shellfish, algae, marine treasures, etc. can all be raised.

Oyster and pearl breeding has existed since ancient times, and the technology is relatively mature.

However, it takes 15-18 months for oysters to mature, and the cash-strapped fishermen can't wait that long.

After much deliberation, Lin Wanxia decided to raise shellfish and algae first and then slowly add other things.

Start with kelp and seaweed.

Of course, Lin Wanxia doesn't have her own golden finger, so she also prepared to raise other fish, shrimp, crabs and shellfish.

Kelp can only be raised after October, and can only be harvested in April or May of the following year.

Therefore, seaweed that can be harvested in one or two months is more suitable.

As for fish, Lin Wanxia wants to try yellow croaker first.

First, the yellow croaker that she summoned when her golden finger was just opened is more friendly, and second, with the large-scale capture of wild yellow croaker becoming less and less, the early 1980s was the right time for breeding. After

selecting the right seafood and completing the breeding procedures, she contracted a beach and the nearby offshore and bay.

In short, everything is ready, except for... seedlings.

Lin Wanxia had inquired carefully, and found out that if she wanted suitable seedlings, she had to go to the city.

There was a research center in the city, which had not only kelp and seaweed, but also many other fish and shrimp seedlings.

I heard that researchers had developed quite a few artificial seedlings!

Before Jiang Sinian's vacation ended, the family of three headed to the city.

In the days when transportation was backward, going to the city was considered a long journey.

It took two bus transfers to get from the island city to the city center.

You can go there by bicycle, but it's quite time-consuming, and it would take at least two hours.

The city area of ​​the island city is quite large.

The compound where Jiang Sinian lived was just on the edge of the city area.

It wasn't the first time Xingxing had returned to the city, but it was the first time that two people had accompanied him.

He looked at Jiang Sinian and then at Lin Wanxia, ​​and for the first time he understood what it felt like to be taken out to play by his parents.

At first, his imagination of stepmother came from Aunt Xia's description, that she was a very bad witch.

Later, he met Lin Wanxia, ​​who was his stepmother, but she was not a witch. She was like Snow White's stepmother. She

was very beautiful but not vicious, and she never gave him poisonous apples.

She would also help him vent his anger when he was bullied by other children.

She would take him to the playground, know what he liked to eat, and tell him stories.

She would take care of him when he was sick.

He also asked Lin Wanxia what was a biological mother and a stepmother.

Lin Wanxia said that there was a small house in his biological mother's belly, and he grew up in the small house until he was ten months old. He was bleeding with his biological mother's blood.

The stepmother was first with his father and then became his mother.

The relationship between him and his stepmother depends on his father.

The stepmother is more like Grandma Zhou or Aunt Li, and she is usually not as good to him as his biological mother.

That's why they say a child without a mother is like a weed.

Of course, there are good stepmothers as well as bad stepmothers, and a good stepmother will treat him as well as his biological mother.

"So are you a good stepmother or a bad stepmother?" Xingxing asked.

Lin Wanxia answered him: "I have never been a mother, so I don't know the difference between how I treat my own children and how I treat you. I don't think of myself as a mother. Isn't it good for us to get along like this?"

Good.

Xingxing thought.

Just like this, it's good to be a family of three.

He quietly stretched out his chubby little hand and held the hands of Lin Wanxia and Jiang Sinian at the same time.

Lin Wanxia lowered her head and touched his little head, and asked him: "Are you carsick?"

Jiang Sinian didn't say anything, just lowered his eyes to look at him, and didn't move.

And Lin Wanxia shook Xingxing's hand back.

Xingxing thought, he didn't know the difference between his biological mother and his stepmother. But

he knew the difference between his father and his mother.
