Chapter 345 Pearl Dream
The fat man snatched the stack of paper from Xiao Yezi's hand. With a swipe of his little eyes, he saw the two big characters "Pearls" on the top. The fat man couldn't help but be overjoyed and patted Ye Haibo's shoulder twice: "Little Yezi, you're really raining in time!"
Ye Haibo was slapped by him and grinned: "Brother Fat, please be gentle, don't be excited first, take a look at it slowly."
"Where did you get such precious information?" The fat man finally realized that the strength in his hand was a little bigger.
"It's not rare at all. Now our country is the world's largest pearl-producing country. Last year, there were more than ten tons of pearls exported! In the Jiangnan area, there were more people raising pearls." Ye Haibo also showed infinite pride on his face.
When the fat man heard this, he felt his face shining, but gradually, he frowned again: More than ten tons, how many pearls are there? They have already formed a scale, and we have not started yet, so it is probably not easy to develop, right?
Ye Haibo has read the information at hand. When he saw the fat man's bear, he knew what he was thinking: "Brother Fat, in fact, the Northeast of your country was once the most famous pearl origin in the history of our country. The pearls produced are called the North Pearl, also called the East Pearl. They have huge particles, goose yellow color, fresh and round, and dazzling. They are the best among pearls."
The fat man couldn't help but slap his thigh: "This is still a bit of a show!"
Ye Haibo was excited when he heard this, and then gave a lecture to the fat man: "Especially in the Qing Dynasty, because the Manchus originated in the Northeast, he especially loved the Northern Pearl. Emperor Qianlong wrote a poem to praise him: The earth is surrounded by a lush abyss, and Guanghan Ji fights the secret. It is said that Empress Dowager Cixi likes pearls the most. When she died, she wore a pearl crown on her head, and the largest pearl in the middle was as big as an egg!"
"No, it's a pearl as big as an egg!" Teacher Xiaohua couldn't help but interrupt, and her little mouth was also opened to the size of an egg.
"Hehe, that's not a cheaper man from Sun Dianying." The fat man knew that Cixi's tomb was stolen later, so he couldn't help but yell. However, he had greater confidence in Beizhu. At the same time, he also thought of the big river clam he caught a few days ago. I wonder if there were pearls in its body. If there were one, it would probably grow as big as an egg.
So I sat honestly in front of the table and finished reading the dozen or so pieces of information in one breath. The records above are very detailed, from the selection of clam shells to processing and slicing, how to insert slices, how to stock, etc., every link is very detailed.
After the fat man finished reading it, Ye Haibo said: "Brother Fat, it's very difficult, especially when it comes to making and inserting slices, this is a technical job. It must be specially trained. After inserting slices, the disinfection process must be handled. We don't have these conditions yet. I think it's better to forget about cultivating pearls. It's a pity that due to the excessive capture in the Qing Dynasty, the Beizhu has basically disappeared now, which is really regrettable."
After hearing this, Da Braida and Xiao Hua showed a hint of disappointment on their faces. After all, they all love beauty, especially traditional Chinese women, who have a preference for pearls.
The fat man also knew that Xiao Yezi was talking about the truth. Raising pearls is indeed a technical job. Unlike raising chickens and geese, ordinary people can reach out.
However, the glorious history of Beizhu still made Fatty fascinated. The climate in the Northeast is hot in summer and cold in winter. Such alternation of cold and heat is the biggest test of animal survival. Therefore, animals that can survive under such conditions have developed excellent skills.
It is precisely because of this that they have experienced the test of nature that they can better demonstrate the magnificence of life: ginseng, marten, frog, etc., all of which are the same, and the same is true for Beizhu.
The fat man was thinking, and Qiqi entered the house surrounded by Maomao and Benben: "Uncle Ye is here." After that, he suddenly threw himself into Ye Haibo's arms.
Ye Haibo pasted her little face twice: "Do you miss Uncle Ye?"
"I wonder, why doesn't Sister Yaya come?" Qiqi asked with her big eyes blinking. Of course she knew that Yaya was going to school, but she still couldn't help asking.
"Haha, do you miss me or Yaya?" Ye Haibo grabbed her little nose.
At this time, Maomao held his eyes and handed Ye Haibo a pear. He recognized that this person often brought delicious food to Qiqi, and he could borrow it himself.
Qiqi finally found that there were more foxes in the house, so she rushed over: "Honghong, you are back, tell me to see. If there is anything missing, I will settle the score with Grandpa Lin."
When Mr. Lin took away the flower-faced fox, he promised Qiqi that he would not hurt it.
Seeing Qiqi, the two shiny eyes of the flower-faced fox also shone brightly. It was very rare to raise its big tail, swing it gently for a few times, and then turned around Qiqi's body for a few times.
"This guy is still the closest to Qiqi." The fat man was a little jealous, but it soon disappeared: Why are you fighting with Qiqi?
He asked Ye Haibo to take a break first, after all, he ran for a long distance. The fat man pinched the materials for breeding pearls and went to find the owner of the car and Lao Yaozi to discuss the plan together.
The fat man read the method introduced to everyone, and the owner of the car kept whispering: "I heard from the old man that Mudanjiang and Nenjiang used to be famous pearls. Mudanjiang used to be called Pearl River. It's a pity that this thing is too technical, unless we send some people to inspect and study, get all the technology and equipment, and then raise it."
"How much does that cost?" Captain Li was also a little moved. He could not have imagined that the river clams that could only eat meat would have this use.
"I'm afraid I can't learn the technology no matter how much I spend." Lao Yaozi sighed. He had gone out to study medicine in the early years, but he ended up committing several famous teachers, all of which hit a wall, so he had a deep understanding of this.
Finally, everyone looked at the fat man and wanted him to take it. This was something that the villagers in Kushantun agreed unanimously.
The fat man scratched the back of his head: "Hehe, you have to try everything slowly. We rely on Shantun Feng Shui, and we may not be able to raise anything to harvest. I decided to set up a research team. The boss is the team leader, specializing in cultivating pearls, and we must take the high-quality route, relying on quality rather than quantity. We can first catch some clam scoops, find some skillful women, and practice the skills slowly. After we become proficient, we will produce on a large scale."
When everyone heard what the fat man said, they responded immediately without caring about it. For a long time, they had formed a nearly superstitious trust in the fat man, believing that everything that the fat man is sure of will definitely not run away.
In fact, the fat man was not at all confident. He dared to make a decision, mainly because he wanted to use the pond in the box to experiment at the beginning stage. After all, it was not ordinary water. Perhaps it could solve the problem of disinfection after transplanting artificial bead nuclei on the river clams, and hoped to increase the growth vitality of the river clams. In a word, try it first. If you don’t even dare to try it, then nothing can be done.
At this moment, the leadership team and members of the pearl cultivation team decided that the boss of Che took the information on the fat man's hand and went home to ask the young grandson to read it slowly to him and learn it thoroughly before talking about it.
The picking and fishing team also made it clear that they would take the lead, and take advantage of the noon time to get the matter done while taking a shower.
The fat man has studied the data and confirmed that the collected river clams are from the third to fourth instars, and then the pearl clams grow together, which is more conducive to the formation of high-quality pearls.
The artificially planted bead core is ground with clam shells, and the size is exactly as specified in the data. The technique of planting bead cores requires practice slowly. After all, it is not a overnight effort, and it requires continuous practice to explore and improve.
Finally, there is another key question: where to stock the river clams after planting. According to Fatty’s usual opinion, of course, it is best to be purely natural.
However, river clams also have axe feet, which can move at the bottom of the water. If they are not bound to the range, if they are escaping with beads, it will be in vain. The large river clams caught by the fat man can run out of the wooden basin, which proves that the movement ability of the river clams cannot be underestimated.
After some research, I decided to do a pilot project in the upper reaches of the river beside the village, completely adopting a natural stocking model, such as hanging boxes, hanging cages, etc., and I don’t need anything.
As long as a simple dam is built at both ends, the river clams can be fixed within this small range. The advantage of this is to take it naturally.
The fat man saw that everyone was full of energy, so he didn't dare to tell them. In fact, he was unsure of it. He could achieve the best, and there was no loss if he could not achieve it, so he just acted as an experiment.
After everyone left the meeting, Boss Che went to summon his subordinates, Captain Li and Wang Sanpao left the village, heading east along the river, and inspected the location of the Zhuchang on the spot.
The fat man walked home like no one, made a few side dishes, and drank a little wine with Ye Haibo.
Xiao Yezi usually has a high standard of food and has oil and water in her belly, so there is no need to be big fish and meat. The fat man made him a few small vegetables.
When the food was served, Ye Haibo also smiled: "Brother Fat, you treat me as a little white rabbit, why are they all carrots?"
The fat man yelled a few times: "The radish replenishes qi and is comparable to ginseng. The green radish in our Koshantun grows the best, the longest one can be two feet long, and the part on the ground is one foot long, commonly known as tripping donkeys, and it tastes crispy."
Teacher Xiaohua couldn't help but say from the side: "That's still a carrot."
"How do you eat radish? Try this, it is a good dish for wine." The fat man pointed at a plate of shredded radish with chopsticks. These were the thin strips cut after peeling, one by one, as white as snow. Pour some white vinegar on top and sprinkle some sugar. It tastes sweet and sour, spicy and very refreshing.
Ye Haibo picked a few, then nodded repeatedly, and then picked up a large chopstick head: "Well, it's not bad, there seems to be a fragrance of pears inside. Fat Brother, won't the radish in your village grow on the trees, right?"
"Haha, there are a lot of pear shreds cut here. These two are the perfect match when they are mixed together." The fat man also said proudly.
"Then can this radish skin be eaten?" Ye Haibo asked, pointing to a plate of green radish skin on the table. The radish skin is green and lovely, and it looks good, but how can you eat it?
