Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

Chapter 441: Breeding

Fishing ban?

Although Fu Wan knew that there would be a fishing ban sooner or later, she didn't expect to hear the news now.

But think about it, creatures in the sea also need time to grow and reproduce. If people continue to go out to sea to fish every day like they do now, it will not be conducive to the long-term development of the marine ecology.

However, Fu Wan was a little curious. She wondered which period would be designated as a fishing ban, because the types of creatures in the sea were different due to different geographical environments.

Therefore, the fishing ban period varies from place to place nowadays, and it ultimately depends on how the local government decides.

However, the policy has not been released yet, so there is no point in thinking about it. Fu Wan turned her head and put the thought behind her.

"Mom, how's things going at home these past couple of days? Did Dad go to the cannery?"

Ye Xiaocui was walking beside her with her luggage, and nodded quickly when she heard her question.

"I've seen it, everyone's been there. The cannery is in a rush right now. Comrade Wang is so busy he can't get any rest.

Your cousin's wife is also busy, so when Alin is free at home, he will go over to help move the goods.

Awan, when we get our salary tomorrow, shouldn't we give some to Alin as well?"

"That's natural."

Fu Wan agreed, saying it was absolutely fine. If Ye Xiaocui hadn't mentioned it, she probably wouldn't have known Ye Lin had gone to help.

This big brother also works hard.

"Mom, how's things going at the new house?"

Fu Ming interrupted and said that if anyone was most concerned about the progress of the new house, it would be him.

"The new house is almost finished, and your father goes there several times a day. When the time comes, we can open it up and let some air in, and then we can move in."

It seemed that everything at home was going on in an orderly manner while they were away.

The few of them chatted as they walked, and soon they arrived at their doorstep.

Just then, Jiang Chunlan came over with a basket on her shoulder. When she saw this group of people, she immediately smiled.

"I was wondering why the magpie kept chirping this morning. Turns out you guys are back from the capital!

My hens laid a lot of eggs, and I saved them and gave them to the children to eat!"

"Oh, Auntie, how can I take your eggs? Come in quickly, we brought back a lot of things."

Fu Wan quickly invited Jiang Chunlan into the house, and Jiang Chunlan did not refuse. After entering the house, Fu Wan took out all the roast duck and pastries from the luggage.

I also bought several servings of roast duck. There was no vacuum packaging at that time. Fortunately, it was already autumn, and there was no odor after being kept on the train for a day and a night.

"Auntie, take this roast duck back. You can eat it directly or warm it up. You also need to finish these pastries as soon as possible, or they will go bad later."

Before Jiang Chunlan had time to refuse, Fu Wan and Qin An Ning put a bunch of things in her hands.

This does not include the package Fu Wan sent home. At this time, all transportation depended on the post office, so the package did not arrive home for several days.

However, what she sent out were just some clothes. As for Jiang Chunlan, Fu Wan brought her a piece of cloth of good quality and let her make something by herself.

Of course, the things haven't arrived yet, so she naturally didn't say anything.

But for Jiang Chunlan, she feels embarrassed to have so many things in her hands.

She didn't covet anything from the children. She was very satisfied as long as Fu Wan and the others still thought of her as their aunt when they were away.

"Awan and Ming, are you back?"

At this moment, Boss Fu came in hurriedly from outside. When he saw everyone in the main house, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He had just finished the meeting and when he was leaving the village office, he heard many villagers say that their children had returned, so he hurried home.

"Yes, Dad, what did the village meeting say?"

Boss Fu picked up the enamel pot on the table and took a big gulp of water, then sighed.

"Well, the village chief said that the higher-ups have this intention now, and asked each village organization to ask the opinions of the fishermen going out to sea.

We have no objections. What is said above is correct. There are only so many fish and shrimps in the sea. If we go out to sea and catch them every day, sooner or later they will become extinct.

But so many people rely on the sea for their livelihoods. If there is a fishing ban, everyone will be left with nothing for the next few months."

Therefore, life is not easy for the lower-level fishermen. Although every household has farmland, the fishing ban period lasts for several months, and there is not work to do in the fields every day.

The Fu family is fine, as they have made a lot of money recently, and Fu Wan's cannery is also booming, but the other villagers in the village are in dire straits.

"Dad, we can't go out to sea during the fishing ban period, but we can engage in aquaculture!"

Fu Wan immediately made a suggestion. In the future, people in coastal areas will still have to eat seafood during the fishing ban period. Those fish and shrimps are artificially farmed.

"Farming?"

Boss Fu suddenly stood up from his chair and paced back and forth.

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, "Aquaculture also requires aquaculture technology. These people in the village are good at fishing and catching shrimps at sea. If you talk about aquaculture in the sea, I guess they don't know anything about it."

Boss Fu has been watching too much TV recently, and he uses idioms very well.

Fu Wan added, "You can consult higher-ups about aquaculture techniques. If aquaculture is vigorously promoted, it will also play a certain auxiliary role in the fishing ban.

If aquaculture is carried out, no one will object to the fishing ban."

However, breeding requires capital, and many villagers may be reluctant to spend the money.

But if contracting sea areas for aquaculture is really encouraged, Fu Wan is willing to be the first person to try it.

"Awan, from what you said, you want to engage in breeding?"

Boss Fu slowly understood the meaning of his daughter's words. She was obviously very optimistic about the breeding industry.

"Dad, if there's somewhere with resources, why don't we give it a try?"

"Think about it, at the rate our economy is developing, seafood will definitely become more and more profitable in the future. Not only in coastal areas, but also in inland areas, many people love seafood.

This aquaculture industry will eventually take off. If we don’t take action, someone else will.”

Moreover, they have funds. Even if they lose some money, they will be able to develop the breeding industry after summarizing their experience.

These words made Boss Fu feel itchy, and even Fu Ming was tempted.

"Awan, if there really is such a thing as contracting the sea area, what kind of seafood do you plan to cultivate?"

Fu Wan thought for a moment and said, "First, we can try oysters and scallops. These two seafoods are easy to keep alive. If they're hard to sell, we can dry them and sell them as dried goods."

"Once the breeding technology matures, we'll try raising some fish and shrimp. By then, maybe small blue dragon and yellow croaker won't be a problem!"

You should know that farmed seafood usually doesn’t taste as good as wild ones, but it is also much cheaper than wild ones.

It’s just that the cost investment is different.

Seeing that Fu Wan's explanation was very logical, Boss Fu also felt that there was some hope.

"Okay, I'll go talk to the village chief right now and ask if he can apply to the higher authorities to grant us a sea area to contract out!"
