1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 366: Start treating eels

 Less than an hour and a half.

Li Duoyu’s fishing boat sailed back to the dock in Xiasha Village, Dandan Island.

 After the ship has docked.

 Shaked the sleeping stone awake.

 After Shitou woke up, he rubbed his eyes and was still a little confused: "Brother Yu, are you ready to return to the island?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "We've all arrived at Dandan Island."

"ah."

  Shitou was very surprised. He stood up suddenly and looked out the window, and found that he had really returned to the pier of Dandan Island.

 “I’ll go, so quickly, I’ll be on the island as soon as I wake up.”

Shi Shitou looked at his watch: "Didn't you say you would leave in the afternoon?"

"The things were settled early, so I came back first, what? You still want to stay in Rongcheng, right? Is there anything you want to buy?"

 “No, I wish I could come back soon.”

 Stone does have something he wants to buy, but after thinking about it, he might as well forget it. Even if he buys it, the other party may not accept it, which will make it even more embarrassing.

 “There are a few more steamed buns, do you want to eat them?”

Shitou grinned and said, "Brother Yu, how much did you buy the steamed buns for?"

 “A piece of great unity.”

Shitou was stunned: "Brother Yu, can you make it cheaper? Five cents will do."

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Fifty cents is definitely not enough. I will give you these steamed buns to eat."

"I was scared to death. I thought Brother Yu was going to rob him. I definitely wouldn't give him the money. But if it's a robbery, I might consider it."

Li Duoyu waved his hand in disgust:

 “It’s so disgusting, go away quickly.”

  Shitou smelled the blanket he had just covered, and said with a smile: "Brother Yu, I will take the blanket back. When the time comes, let my mother wash it and bring it back to you."

Li Duoyu suddenly got goosebumps all over his body and asked, "Shitou, there's something wrong with you. Don't you like Shanshan?"

"How could I like Shanshan? I prefer someone like you, Brother Yu. You are handsome and rich. You are not only the village director, but you can also protect me."

 “Get out, get out quickly.”

Stone smiled happily and walked out of the cab with a blanket. When he saw the snakeskin bag on the first deck, he smelled a familiar smell and went up to smell it.

“Brother Yu, what’s in this bag? It tastes so familiar, like I’ve eaten it before.”

 “Isn’t it written on it?”

Shitou scratched his head: "My sister-in-law hasn't taught me these two words, so I really can't understand them."

Li Duoyu rolled his eyes and said, "You must have skipped school during the night shift recently. This thing is betel nut. We used it to treat longworms and flatworms when we were kids."

The stone chrysanthemum "flower" couldn't help but tighten, and some dead memories came back to life in an instant.

“No wonder it tastes so ripe. Damn it, after eating this thing, the worms will move around after being pulled out.”

 “That’s right, that’s it.”

Li Duoyu glanced at betel nut. In fact, this is a really good Chinese medicinal material. It has many effects. It can not only repel insects, refresh yourself, lower blood pressure, but also increase appetite.

　Unfortunately, this stuff is scarier than cigarettes. Once you eat too much, it is very addictive and has a certain degree of toxicity.

Chewing for a long time may lead to a disease that is not very friendly. Li Duoyu once saw a late-stage patient in his previous life. It was quite scary. Half of his face was gone and he couldn't eat. He had to feed liquid food directly into his stomach. go.

“Brother Yu, do you want to move these medicinal materials to the eel factory? Let me help you.”

“Okay, help me move the things, and I won’t charge you the ten yuan.”

 “You can have this.”

As soon as Shitou got off the boat, Lao Lu, who was about to go out to sea to fish, couldn't help but asked: "Shitou, how much did you sell the last pound of those big yellow croakers last night?"

 “Almost a pound.”

Lao Lu’s eyes widened: “Damn it, big yellow croakers are so expensive now. No, I’m going to get a net of them too.”

Hearing that large yellow croakers are weighing one pound now, the fishermen who were about to go to sea became excited and prepared to catch large yellow croakers.

 Seeing this scene, Li Duoyu couldn't help but smile bitterly. He guessed that this was the reason why the large yellow croaker was almost extinct.

 Next. At the pier, Li Duoyu borrowed a cart from Lao Chen of the second-hand fishing tackle shop and hauled five bags of Chinese medicinal materials to the eel factory.

After seeing it, Chen Wenchao, his second brother and his second sister-in-law rushed to the dock to help, bringing nearly twenty bags of medicinal materials.

It was all done in two trips, and the most impressive one among them was the second sister-in-law, who carried a bag on her shoulder and a bag in each arm, and walked faster than them.

 Seeing the rocks in this scene, his teeth couldn't help chattering. He had heard of Zhu Xiuhua's ability before.

Only when I really saw him did I realize how terrifying this woman was. For someone as thin as him, she probably held him like a chicken. She might even be able to hold one in one hand.

Zhu Xiuhua saw that Li Duoyu had bought so many traditional Chinese medicines, and couldn't help but curiously asked: "Duoyu, why did you buy so many medicinal materials?"

 “For feeding fish.”

Zhu Xiuhua was stunned: "Do fishes take Chinese medicine? These medicinal materials are very expensive. If you feed the fish, you will die."

“Also, what happened to the eels recently? Why are there always dead fish?”

Li Duoyu sighed: "There is no way. It is really difficult to raise eels. Just like humans, they will get sick and need to take medicine. If not, they will lose their pants."

Li Duoyu naturally knew what the second sister-in-law wanted to ask. He said this deliberately to her, hoping that she would know how much he weighed.

However, thinking about it, it should be impossible. If these two sentences could persuade her, it would not be her, Zhu Xiuhua.

The second sister-in-law's attention was now focused on these Chinese medicinal materials. She even went over to Li Yaoguo and said, "Yaoguo, I can't read. Please help me remember what is written on these medicinal materials."

 “You can remember it yourself, and I don’t understand it either.”

 “Keep your voice down, you’re going to die, right?”

Li Duoyu didn't bother to care about her. After all, he planned to fire his second sister-in-law after the eels were shipped, but it would be useless even if she knew about these medicinal materials.

  Traditional Chinese medicine is a very complex matter. Even if the medicinal materials are the same, the dosage of each medicinal material is different, and the effects produced are also different.

And every time you treat an eel, you have to slowly test the medicine, which is not achieved overnight.

 The reason why Li Duoyu knows this treatment method is that he learned it from an eel doctor.

At the eel factory where he worked, an outbreak of antheloidosis broke out in the eels, and they became drug-resistant. Commonly used drugs couldn't cure it at all.

In the end, he chose the path of traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Seeing that he was an old man, relatively uncultured, and relatively uncultured, the eel doctor asked him to help.

Li Duoyu learned it casually when he was idle and bored. He thought he would never need it in this life, but he didn’t expect to use it in this world.

After Li Duoyu came to the eel pond, he found that there were many eels swimming wildly on the surface of the pond during the day, just like water snakes.

 Referring to ringworm infection, mania caused by mania.

Furthermore, the activity of silver carp polycultured with eels has also become very poor, and all of them are breathing with their mouths open on the surface of the water.

 Normally, eels cannot be seen during the day. If mania occurs even during the day, it already indicates that the eel is seriously infected.

 When eels suffer from this disease, large eels often die first, and the last survivors are small eels.

The mortality rate of this disease is extremely high. There is only one week from the onset of the disease to the peak of the disease, and you are often not even given time for treatment.

Li Duoyu frowned and asked Chen Wenchao and his second brother, "Has the water been changed?"

Chen Wenchao nodded and said, "Change it. All the water in the ponds has been changed in the past two days."

 Li Duoyu sighed.

 The situation is not optimistic!

 If there is no improvement after changing the water, there may be other reasons. Maybe there is also a problem with the bottom environment of the pond.

“Xiaochao, second brother and second sister-in-law, please help me pick up all the eels swimming on the water and put them in a small pond for temporary cultivation.”

“Also, catch some eels at the bottom of the pond and separate them from those swimming wildly on the surface.”

Li Duoyu poured out part of the Chinese medicinal materials from the snakeskin bag and ground each Chinese medicinal material into powder separately.

 Then, he boiled a pot of water.

 Mix Chinese medicinal materials ground into powder according to a certain proportion, and then simmer repeatedly.

The second sister-in-law, who was helping to catch eels, kept looking in the direction of Li Duoyu. She was so anxious that she missed her step and almost fell into the pond.

 Fortunately, he grabbed Li Yaoguo's pants before he fell.

Li Yaoguo, who was wearing red underpants and with a cold buttocks, first pulled her up and said angrily:

“Can you just catch fish well? Don’t watch it. You won’t learn it even if you watch it. You should give up. This thing is too difficult and you can’t raise it.”

 “Who said that? How will you know if you don’t try?”

"It's up to you. When the time comes, just don't come to me crying."
