Xianyuan Farm

Now there is no word to describe Gu Hongyu's mood at the moment.

He felt that his luck was too good. It was just a simple job of cleaning the lake. This was just a formality.

However, he found these big clams in a sunken place at the bottom of the lake. He just wanted to have a good meal, but now he saw a pink pearl in the belly of the clam. Who would believe this kind of thing? But now it is in front of him.

Gu Hongyu was a little distracted at the moment, thinking whether he should buy a few tickets and maybe win the jackpot.

No, the current situation is even more serious than winning the jackpot. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence that there is a pearl in this clam or most of the clams grow this pearl. If other clams grow this pearl in the future, wouldn’t it be much more than winning the jackpot.

"Xiaoyu, I just asked you to do something, why are you standing there?" The mother was also taking care of the other ingredients. Seeing Gu Hongyu's appearance, she shook her head, as if she felt that young people nowadays are not focused when doing something.

The pink pearl in the lake clam is about the size of a little finger. Gu Hongyu gently picked it out and held it in his hand. When his palm touched the pearl, the pearl gave Gu Hongyu a feeling of being very round, and there was a layer of halo flowing on the surface.

"Mom, come and see what I have in my hand?" Gu Hongyu said excitedly to his mother who was already busy picking vegetables.

"Isn't it just a lake clam? What can it be..." Before she finished speaking, the mother who didn't take it seriously at first saw the flash of light in Gu Hongyu's palm and couldn't say anything.

"What are you holding in your hand?" In fact, at this time, the mother had already seen what Gu Hongyu had in his hand, but she didn't dare to believe it at all.

Gu Hongyu pointed at the lake clam. Then he pointed to the pearl in his hand: "This thing was taken out of the lake clam. This is the first one I pried open. I don't know if there will be more next..."

The mother didn't wait for Gu Hongyu to finish her words, and hurriedly shouted towards the living room: "Old man, come and have a look. Xiaoyu found something good?"

"What good thing? Aren't you afraid of disturbing the neighbors by yelling all day?" The father walked out of the living room with a muttering face.

The Mei Ning family came in with the father. Before the father could see what the mother was holding, the father of Mei said in surprise: "Hey, isn't this a pearl?"

"Where did the pearl come from?" The father immediately understood and asked.

The mother said with great joy: "This pearl was taken out of the lake clam by Xiaoyu. This is just the first one. We are so lucky to have found this thing."

"The pearl was found in the first lake clam. Xiaoyu, hurry up and pry open the remaining lake clams to have a look." The father turned his head and said to Gu Hongyu excitedly.

At this time, the eldest and second cousins ​​came back after finishing the work at Red Lake. After hearing about Gu Hongyu's great discovery, they quickly joined the work of prying open the lake clams.

Twenty to thirty kilograms of lake clams, each weighing almost one kilogram. After thirty-four lake clams were cracked open one by one, Gu Hongyu harvested a total of twenty pearls, and the proportion of pearls produced by lake clams accounted for more than 50%. This result amazed everyone.

"Xiaoyu, when you came back, you said that there were thousands or tens of thousands of lake clams in the depression at the bottom of the lake that you cleaned today?" The mother asked hurriedly, holding back her excitement.

Gu Hongyu: "Yes, there are tens of thousands of clams of this size. As for the smaller ones, we have not counted them at all."

The second cousin also testified: "Xiaoyu and I have seen it. The depression at the bottom of the lake is about 30 square meters, and the clams inside are densely packed one by one. I guess there must be more than this number."

The clams produced more than 20 pearls, some as big as glass beads, and some as small as soybeans. The pearls are more than one color. The pearls they obtained are white, pink, and yellow, and one of them is actually golden.

Mei's father pointed to the golden pearl the size of a little finger and said excitedly: "I didn't expect it. In this freshwater lake, you can actually find golden pearls that are rare even in seawater. They are not small. As far as I know, such a pearl is at least millions, and it is still out of stock."

Looking at the surprised look of everyone. Father Mei continued, "If the golden pearls appeared in the Red Lake, it would cause a big stir. The experts who left before the New Year will probably gather here again!"

"I think no one should spread this matter. It's good enough for us to know it." Mother suggested immediately.

Father also said, "Yes, this matter cannot be known to others. Now the Red Lake is contracted by Xiaoyu. If this news is known to others, someone might dive to the bottom of the water to steal the pearls, causing some unnecessary trouble."

Second cousin and eldest cousin waved their hands one after another. Almost at the same time, they said that they would never tell anyone about this matter.

Gu Hongyu smiled helplessly. He did not speak about this matter. It is indeed a good idea to block the news at present. He is not afraid of thieves, but he is quite worried about the government. No one knows whether the government will regret the contract and take back the Red Lake. Although Chen Luofeng in Gansu Province has recruited Gu Hongyu, he is still unwilling to take this risk.

Sometimes Gu Hongyu also envied those guys in novels who went abroad to buy property. Now China's agricultural land cannot be bought and sold but can only be contracted. In this situation, there are many variables. Besides, China's legal system is not very good. Once the farm earns a very considerable income, it is easy to attract the attention of interested people, and then the owner of the farm should be careful...

In this situation, Gu Hongyu increasingly felt that he needed a strong coat to protect everything he had now. While strengthening himself, he now especially wanted a foreign businessman's identity. In China, a distorted concept makes people sad, that is, foreign monks are good at chanting, and their status is higher than that of their own country.

The construction of Honghu Village should come to an end, and it should be visited in other countries. Maybe if you hype it up abroad, you can also have a legal foreign identity.

"Xiaoyu, what are you thinking about?" The mother's words woke up Gu Hongyu who didn't know where he was wandering.

"Mom, what's the matter?"

The mother pointed at the pearls taken out of the lake clams and said, "You can keep these pearls for yourself. You are going to marry Xiao Ning soon. It's just right to make some jewelry for Xiao Ning to wear with these pearls."

"Also, you have to pay attention to the lake clams at the bottom of the lake from time to time. Now my family doesn't need these things, so let them grow freely. It would be great to select the largest batch of lake clams every year so that we can eat meat and get pearls." Father suggested on the side.

"Haha, brother is still thoughtful. It's actually very good like this." Mei's father also smiled and agreed with his father's suggestion.

"Okay. That's it. Xiaoyu, hurry up and get these clam meat out. Look, it's getting dark." Just now, she was only busy prying open the lake clams to get the pearls. The clam meat was still in the shell. After saying this, the mother left to do her thing. Mei Ning and Mei's mother also went over to help.

Everyone had a happy dinner in the evening. Uncle Azha and his family also came. No one told him about the discovery of pearls in the lake clams, but everyone was so happy that Uncle Azha couldn't understand.

In the next few days, some of the strawberries, early peaches, and plums in the orchards were ripe, and these orchard planting areas became the most popular places for tourists.

This time, Gu Hongyu and the workers in the orchard also learned to be smart. They bought a lot of movable fences nearly two meters high in the town. As long as the fruits are ripe, they only need to use those fences to enclose the mature fruit tree planting areas. No longer wanting to need employees to guard every distance as before, it has greatly liberated the labor force.

Gu Hongyu personally went to each of those orchards and later they operated normally. Only one or two people from home were sent to collect the money, and the rest were handed over to the orchard employees.

These fruits have not been opened for a few days, and Gu Hongyu's daily income is basically more than one million yuan every day. On the weekend, the harvest of the orchard exceeded two million. This data surprised the whole family.

This morning, Gu Hongyu received a call not long after returning home after doing morning exercises with his pets. The call was from Shanxian. Gu Hongyu had ordered a fish net cage for fish farming in a factory specializing in aquaculture supplies.

Gu Hongyu did things without dragging his feet. This time, he bought all the fishing nets for fry, young fish, and adult fish. The small factory in Shanxian that made fishing nets took Gu Hongyu's business very seriously. The young boss in his thirties was on the front line every day, and the boss called as soon as the order was completed.

Gu Hongyu drove his eldest and second cousins ​​to Shanxian not long after and checked the quality of the fishing net. In fact, there was nothing to test. It was mainly to see whether the knot of the fishing net was fluffy and whether the knot was secure. The mesh sizes of the other fishing nets for fry, young fish, and adult fish were completely different, which was obvious at a glance.

The boss of the fishing net in Shan County repeatedly said that if there was any problem with the quality of the fishing net, he could contact them at any time. Gu Hongyu was also very straightforward. He even paid the full amount before the fishing net was placed in the water. This once again made the boss think that Gu Hongyu was a big customer and he was extremely respectful to him.

Placing the fishing net is a more professional matter. The rest of the work is done by professionals. However, Gu Hongyu and his two cousins ​​personally took charge of the area close to the growth of lake clams. Gu Hongyu would not let outsiders touch this area.

In two days, all the fishing nets were placed. Many large and small buoys can be seen on the lake surface. Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.

Uncle Azha had nothing to do these two days and stood by the lake watching Gu Hongyu and his team set up the fishing nets. Seeing that Gu Hongyu had finished his work, he smiled and said, "Xiao Gu, can we raise fish now? Put those precious fish fry in those squares?"

"Well, the fish fry are placed in the fishing nets with smaller squares, and the other fishing nets are for young fish and adult fish. All the fish I raise are raised according to the principle of natural growth, and no feed will be added to damage the water quality. You don't have to worry about the water source being polluted in the future." Gu Hongyu introduced with a smile.

Uncle Azha took two puffs of leaf cigarettes and squinted his eyes and asked, "I'm not worried that you will destroy the environment of Honghu Village. I'm just a little curious. If you raise fish fry like this, how many years will it take to harvest?"

"Uncle, this is what I think. There are quite a lot of plankton in the Red Lake right now. We won't take any measures at the moment. If I breed more fish in the future, we will not be able to keep up with the growth of plankton in the lake. Purchasing algae artificially creates a favorable growth environment for plankton. The fish I culture mainly grow up eating plankton. This should not affect their growth rate at all. At the same time, the meat quality of the cultured fish is similar to that of wild fish. There is basically no difference in the fish, so the price is different from that of ordinary fish." Gu Hongyu slowly explained to Uncle Aza his method of raising fish.

"Well, it turns out that's it. We old guys are completely out of step with the times. You young guys are so smart, but I still have a question..."

"Uncle, tell me, if there are any mistakes, we will correct them immediately." Gu Hongyu was very modest.

"I can't say it's a big flaw, but you have raised all the fish, but how can you do it without getting a boat?" The uncle knocked on the cigarette rod and said slowly and politely.

"Boat?" Gu Hongyu didn't have any ideas about this. For the sake of the ecology of Red Lake, he had no intention of buying a boat. The "boat" used for fish farming on the lake is just a monster pieced together with several wooden boards.

"Yeah, you really don't think about it, do you? What will happen when you go fishing in the future? It's not safe for people to sit on a guy like you who is made of a few wooden boards!"

Gu Hongyu scratched his head: "I have thought about it, but I really don't want to damage the environment of the lake. It is really rare for this kind of place to maintain its current purity."

"Haha, then don't buy a motor boat. I have an old brother who makes wooden boats. The wooden boats he makes are more than enough for you to use for fishing. It won't have any impact on the lake, right?" Uncle Aza said with a smile. .

In the past, Gu Hongyu thought that although the Red Lake was very big, no matter how deep the lake was, it was nothing to him. Now the aquatic products of the Red Lake will be managed by his eldest cousin and his second cousin. It was a bit unsafe to carry a "boat" made of several wooden planks. Thinking of this, Gu Hongyu said: "Then it works, I will order five small boats here first, and then we can talk about it if it works."

"We don't need so many fishing boats for fishing. Why did you order five boats at once?" Uncle Aza was puzzled.

Gu Hongyu smiled: "There may be more workers in the breeding area of ​​several hundred acres in the future. Let's order five ships first and see if there is not enough."

Now that he was wealthy, since he wanted to buy a manual wooden boat, Gu Hongyu immediately had countless thoughts, why not set aside an area in the lake to specialize in rowing.

You can't go boating on the river, but it may be a poetic thing to do on the lake.
