Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

Chapter 110 Koi Breeding Base
Lu Changhua ran back to the duty room and counted seven barrels.

"Hurry up, close your eyes and add water to the bucket."

"Dahong Erhong, take the shovel and dig a hole with me."

"Dagui, go find Zhao Laosi and transport some more bricks and cement to build a pond."

Everyone was busy.

The matter of feeding the fish was left to the two young daughters-in-law.

"Where to dig a hole?"

Da Hong ran after him with a shovel.

"On the edge of the ditch to the south."

The three ran to the side of the ditch and started digging.

A small pond [-] centimeters deep and [-] meters long and [-] meters wide was quickly dug.

"Let the water in quickly."

A stream of water was drawn from the ditch next to it.

Soon the water was full.

"Block the water inlet and bring in all the fish."

Lu Changhua used a small basin to add some spring water to the bucket to let them adapt.

At noon, the sun was high in the sky.

The water temperature in this newly dug small pond came up quickly.

"Pour it in, pour it slowly."

The three of them put the bucket into the small pool and tilted the mouth of the bucket into the water.

The koi in these buckets wandered around the mouth of the bucket for a while and then swam smoothly into the pond.

Soon, the 25-square-meter pond was covered with a layer of colorful koi carps.

That's a good look!
Both Dahong and Hong were dumbfounded.

Narrow Eyes also ran over carrying a shovel.

Seeing the pond full of koi, I was speechless with my mouth open.

"It looks like we have to let Master Lin's bulldozers come out!"

"Squint your eyes, just stay here and watch."

"Put the water in every two hours, then add more water, and use a shovel to dig at both ends. Do you understand?"

"I understand, I can do this job."

"The amount of water released and water inlet should be small to prevent the water temperature from changing drastically."

"know."

He squinted at his watch, his eyes narrowed to a slit.

At this moment, Hu Dagui came back on his motorcycle.

"Changhua, Zhao Laosi has been notified."

"Okay, you go to the maintenance team again and ask Master Lin to hook up the bulldozer and push a hole for us."

"it is good."

Hu Dagui turned around and left again.

Lu Changhua took Da Hong and Er Hong to dig beside the pond.

Dig a small pond of 25 square meters again.

Then dig out the two pools.

"Squint your eyes and let the water in."

The koi carps were swimming around in this fifty square meter pond.

"Bring the fish food."

They were busy feeding the fish when Zhao Laosi drove a carriage.

The cart was carrying several bags of cement and tools.

"Master Zhao, this is not enough."

"I heard Dagui said that you want to make a fish pond?"

"Correct."

"Half is underground, half is above ground."

"Find someone, I want to make a big pool."

"Then Lao Lu will have to go to the brick factory to pull bricks."

"no problem."

Just as he was talking, the roar of the tractor started.

Master Lin is here.

Lu Changhua waved to him.

Master Lin drove his tractor in and bulldozed the soil on the south side of the ditch.

Soon a large pit of nearly [-] square meters was launched.

Hu Dagui went to find Lao Lu again, and followed the car to the brick factory with Dahong Erhong and Narrow Eyes.

Five carts of bricks were hauled in a row.

Zhao Laosi also hired laborers to dig foundations around the pit.

They burned the midnight oil and fought.

Laying bricks and laying cement overnight.

In order to increase the stability of the brick wall, field-shaped stacks of bricks were cut at the bottom of the pit.

In three days, the pool was completed.

Fortunately, it hasn't rained these days and the sun is shining brightly.

The pool is 50 meters long, 10 meters wide and 2.5 meters deep.

Two meters of it are buried underground and [-] centimeters are above ground.

The water inlet is connected to the spring water.

The water outlet is underground, and a deep trench is dug directly leading to the reservoir.

After three days, start draining water.

First put it [-] centimeters away and expose it to the sun for a day.

Those koi were moved into the pond.

Lu Changhua even checked the number, and it turned out to be eight hundred.The system didn’t lie to me!
From now on, the water depth will be increased by fifty centimeters every day.

until the water is two meters deep.

Lu Changhua made an automatic device at the water inlet and outlet, which does not require human intervention.

As long as the water level reaches two meters, the float connected to the water outlet will pull the switch and start to discharge the water. The water level will drop by [-] centimeters, and then the water outlet will be closed.

After the water level at the water inlet drops by [-] centimeters, the water inlet mode will be turned on.

The water inlet is closed until the water level reaches two meters.

This cycle of in and out not only increases the oxygen content in the water, maintains water quality, but also reduces changes in water temperature, allowing the koi to maintain healthy growth in the pond.

The koi are currently being kept under wraps.

Even Zhao Laosi, who built the fish pond for Lu Changhua, didn't know about the koi.

The people in the reservoir have sealed their mouths tightly, and no one can say anything.

Lu Changhua was afraid that someone would cause trouble. If he really threw a bottle of pesticide into the pool, he would not be able to find a place to cry.

Fortunately, this pool is inside the barrier and cannot be seen by outsiders.In addition, the edge of the pool is fifty centimeters above the ground. Where can you look? !
This pond became the new home of these koi carps.

He had just breathed a sigh of relief when Hu Dagui's words made him feel excited again.

"Changhua, it's okay now, but what if it's winter? There's no place to raise these koi!"

hiss~
Lu Changhua's heart tightened.

Sure enough, raising koi in the Northeast is really troublesome.

Summer is easy, but in autumn and winter, the weather is cold, and it is definitely not possible for koi to be left open like this.

Fortunately, Hu Dagui reminded him.

For this matter, he pondered for several days.

How to keep these koi fish over the winter.

He thought of warm dishes and vegetable greenhouses.

It seems that a warm pool is needed for the fish. The current water temperature is about 23 degrees, and the warm pool must be kept above 20 degrees.

In order to raise koi, Lu Changhua also went to the city and looked for books on raising koi in the Xinhua Bookstore. As you can imagine, there were no books at all.

Went to the hotel for an afternoon.

Business at Boiling Fish Village is as good as ever.

"Dad, I'll pack some fish and deliver it to the store in a few days."

"Give me a little less first and give it a try."

Lao Lu was worried that changing the fish at home would affect the taste.

"Okay, let's try first."

He returned home the next day.

Fishing also needs to be done, but so does the koi warm pond.

Now the koi no longer eat fish food.

Lu Changhua asked Hu Dagui and others to dig earthworms in the surrounding area.

More than half a barrel can be dug out every day.

But these earthworms were thrown in and eaten quickly.

After adding earthworms, the growth of koi obviously accelerated.

But being close to wild earthworms is simply not enough.

It seems that I still have to find a way to engage in breeding.

In fact, it has been rumored outside the past few years that the cultivation of earthworms has been carried out.

There are already people raising them at Changshui Farm.

I need to find someone to inquire.

The matter of warm pool cannot be delayed.

Originally, Lu Changhua was thinking of adding a greenhouse to the current pond. Would that be feasible?
Then I thought, no.

You must know that winter in the Northeast is 1.5 to [-] degrees below zero, and the ice layer can reach [-] to two meters.

And frozen soil is similar to ice.

In other words, the temperature must be maintained at a depth of at least two meters or 1.5 meters underground.

In addition, water in winter needs to be exposed to the sun to increase the water temperature and emit chlorine in the water.

Anyway, this pool won’t work now.

Still have to rebuild.

Then build it, we can’t just watch these babies freeze to death.

First, dig a large pond 20 meters apart to the west of the warehouse.

This matter depends on Master Lin.

He was also unambiguous and directly launched a deep pit 20 meters from east to west and 50 meters from north to south.

The south side is only 30 meters away from the spring.

Zhao Laosi finally paid for it.

With more than a dozen people working day and night, it took more than half a month to complete.

A ring beam was built around the large pond, just like building a house.

The surrounding walls are all 50 walls,
Cement brickwork and jointing.

The wall is three meters high, two meters underground, and one meter above ground. After it is built, three or four meters of soil is piled around it for warmth.

Six-meter, five-meter, and four-meter-high pillars were built in the pool.

The middle is the highest.

These are the pillars that build the ceiling.

The roof is covered with plastic sheeting.

Inside the greenhouse, an iron chimney is installed that runs from north to south, with four flues.

On the north side of the warm pool, right next to the barrier, a deep pit of 20 meters from east to west was dug and covered with a shed roof.

Four large furnaces were built inside.

This is where the stove is burned in the winter.

This pool was specially built to heat it.

Lu Changhua spent nearly 2 yuan on this pool.

While building this warm pool, he finally found a home that raised earthworms.

As soon as they met, the man started complaining.

It turned out that a relative of his came to him last year and said that his company was promoting earthworm farming.

Free breeding techniques, training and skills are provided, and earthworms are also recycled.

He believed it, introduced earthworms, and started breeding them.

This earthworm breeding is really simple, just apply some soybean oil on waste cardboard, and the breeding is very fast in wooden boxes.

Soon more than 20 boxes were bred from the first box.

He thought it would be winter soon, so he might as well sell it.

As soon as I find this relative, I will postpone today to tomorrow, and tomorrow to the day after tomorrow, but they will never come to buy it.

Only now did he realize that they were just selling earthworms, so where could they teach skills?Everything is a routine.

He raised so many that he had no choice but to feed them to his own chickens.

There are now five boxes left.

"Well, you can sell all five boxes to me."

"That's a good feeling."

"I'll give you 100 yuan for these five boxes. If it's more or less, that's it."

"Okay, okay, here you go."

He happily took ten pieces of unity, and Lu Changhua asked Lao Lu to transport them back.

These earthworms are kept in the duty room in the north.

Anyway, there's an empty room here.

He asked the carpenter to make a dozen empty boxes.
Waiting to be sorted.

This earthworm is really easy to raise.

I carry two buckets to feed the koi every day, and I can still provide enough.
