Golden Fishing Village

More than a dozen speedboats were launched into the sea and kept busy for two hours. Finally, they caught two fishing boats, averaging one boat an hour.

Both boats had fresh fish caught on them. Based on this, the fishing boats were impounded. Several fishing boats were also found, but the boats had just gone to sea and had not yet harvested anything, so they could not be punished.

Faced with this result, Dai Zongxi was not very satisfied, and his face looked a little ugly when he returned to the county dock.

The director of the County Agriculture and Forestry Bureau who accompanied him said with a smile: "Bureau Dai, our fishermen friends are still very law-abiding. I think it would be better if we went to sea and didn't catch a few illegal boats, right?"

Dai Zong said with displeasure: "What the hell, do you think I am an emperor who is ignorant of the world? Why did I organize this law enforcement operation tonight? I just got the news that there are still a lot of fishing boats going out to sea to poach!"

Wang Youwei stepped forward and said, "Dai Ju, can I dare to say a few words?"

"Why are you so bold? You make me feel like an emperor. If you have any opinions, feel free to speak up." Dai Zongxi waved his hand.

Wang Youwei said: "I think there are two main possibilities for our poor harvest tonight. Either the fishermen really abide by the law and there are fewer fishing boats going out to steal fish; or our law enforcement is too slow and the news is leaked. The fishing boats Run ahead of time.”

Dai Zongxi said categorically: "The first one may be impossible, the second one may not be possible, but there is a high probability that this is the case."

There are some simple-minded village cadres who can’t think straight. The leader talks nonsense. Is this going to be a hip-hop?

Unexpected results were not achieved, so Dai Zongxi dispersed the law enforcement team in dismay.

There was no life on the sea during the forbidden sea period, so Ao Muyang set his sights on Ambergris Lake.

In Ambergris Lake, he cultivated water chestnuts, lotus flowers, and stocked many freshwater crabs, all of which need protection.

Fortunately, the freshwater crabs haven't grown up yet. When it's time to eat crabs, the surrounding villagers will not set down the nets and cages to catch them. At most, tourists will catch a few by chance.

This would have little impact on the overall crab population, and Ao Muyang didn't care.

Tourists are not very interested in crabs. Firstly, the crabs are small, and secondly, the villagers on the lake will warn them that they can fish freely, but they cannot catch crabs that have not grown up.

They are more interested in the shellfish in the lake. A heavy rain can at least alleviate the local drought a little, but there is still a long way to go before the drought is solved.

The water level of Ambergris Lake has dropped repeatedly, which means that the lake is large enough to withstand this year's dry weather. Some small lakes in surrounding towns have almost dried up.

As the water level drops, some shellfish are exposed.

Tourists also learn to step on river clams. The river clams they catch can be eaten as meat, and they can also find freshwater pearls from them. The shells can also be used as souvenirs, which they are very keen on.

After discovering this, the villagers came up with the idea of ​​river clams.

The fishermen around often step on mussels for fun, and are not very interested in harvesting them. After all, if you eat too much mussel meat, the taste will be average.

As for the freshwater pearls in river mussels, the chances of obtaining them are low, and the chance of obtaining valuable pearls is even smaller.

After tourists showed their love for river mussels, the fishermen touched them themselves when they had nothing to do. After touching them, they sold them to tourists. The tourists opened the mussels to look for pearls.

This is a bit like gambling on pearls, similar to gambling on stones. No one knows how the harvest will be until the mussels are opened.

The fishermen set a low price for the river mussels they catch. From small to large, the unit price ranges from ten yuan to hundreds of yuan. This is not a big burden for tourists, and many tourists have participated in this project.

Ao Muyang had nothing to do, so he simply came to the lake to step on the river clams. He didn't want to sell them to make money, he simply wanted to take them back and throw them at the bottom of the breeding pond to raise them to keep the super-large river clams company.

In the evening, Ao Wenchang, who accompanied Su Xiuxiu for a walk by the lake, saw Ao Muyang and walked over and said, "Longtou, have you touched the river mussels too?"

Ao Muyang explained the reason, and Ao Wenchang said after hearing this: "Actually, I think this can really be developed into a tourism project in the village. Let's build a pearl gambling stall and shop. Tourists should be quite interested in such a project. Interested.”

"Is this illegal?" Ao Muyang asked cautiously, "After all, it is considered gambling."

Ao Wenchang shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be illegal. If you are worried, you can ask Teacher Lu. Anyway, stone gambling is not illegal in our country. How many stone gambling venues do you think there are in southern Yunnan?"

Betting on pearls is indeed a very interesting activity. If Ao Muyang hadn't raised a lot of pearl oysters around the blue hole and could harvest more valuable ocean pearls at any time, then he would also be willing to fish for river mussels in the lake to obtain freshwater pearls. .

After listening to the words of the two people, Ao Mupeng, who was also stepping on river clams next to him, came up and said with interest: "In this way, we might as well just raise a bunch of river clams. You see, the cheapest one can still sell for more than ten or twenty yuan." Well, how big is the profit margin?”

Ao Wenchang said: "Tourists are willing to buy these river mussels because they will produce pearls as they age. Do you think they like ordinary river mussels?"

Ao Mupeng said simply: "It's simple. Let's culture pearls directly. I know this technology. It is to impregnate pearl mussels and artificially put spherical shell particles into their bodies to let them produce nacre to produce pearls."

Hearing this, Ao Wenchang was also tempted: "Longtou, I think this is indeed okay."

Ao Muyang didn't know much about pearl oyster farming, but he had a farming veteran in his family who he could count on. That was Grandpa Ao Zhibing, who had been engaged in marine aquaculture for a lifetime.

He went home in high spirits. Because the backyard wall was open, he didn't go through the main gate, but went home directly through the wall. Anyway, the old man usually stayed in the backyard to work.

Entering the backyard, he met Youfu lying on the slate table.

Ao Muyang liked the feeling of eating and enjoying the coolness under the shade of the Wanxiang tree. There happened to be a tree in the yard of his new building, a sturdy sycamore tree, so he didn't cut down the tree, but put a slate table under the tree.

Youfu lay on this table, which was covered by the shade of the tree and blown by the sea breeze. It was cool all day long. It was really comfortable to lie on it in summer.

It was fine for it to lie on the slate table, since it wasn't time to eat. But Grandpa Ao Zhibing's pipe was also placed on it. The little bastard was actually lying on the slate table smoking a pipe...

Ao Muyang thought he was seeing things. It was a bit weird and strange.

Foxes are said to be evil in rural areas. For example, in the Northeast, foxes are revered as immortals. It is said that they do smoke and like to smoke dry tobacco.

Youfu was smoking a dry tobacco at the moment. When he suddenly saw this scene, Ao Muyang was stunned.
