Chapter 671 Clam Bead
After leaving the underground to place the fish, Lin Mo looked at the time. Good guy, it took nearly two hours for the four of them to go back and explore. However, after careful consideration, they didn't expect it. On the one hand, it was difficult to walk, and on the other hand, the secret path was indeed long enough.
When Lin Mo walked out, he made a brief estimate. The length of the secret path was indeed around kilometers, which was in line with his prediction.
The team members were basically working underground, and the yard had gone to find the water pump before. The team member was adding water to the tank where there were fish, and the rest were all the odd jobs he had found.
The gig workers also had a mule cart. They first transported the last unused blue bricks in the warehouse, built a large circle on the freight yard, and used it to stack the sludge transported from the ground. The gig workers were responsible for unloading the mud from the chariot.
The unloading truck was not just about getting the mud out of the truck. There were also two people carrying a rectangular wooden framed iron mesh, responsible for sifting the mud unloaded from the truck.
The purpose is to sift out small fish, shrimp, snails, and shells in the mud. Although there are not many small fish, there are many other organisms. They obviously cannot survive when they are piled together. It is not that everyone wants to keep these gadgets, but the main reason is that the thing is dead but smells very bad. The sludge smell is not very good. With these things, they may be even more odor than a cesspool.
"Has the well been cleared?" The team member Tianshui came to the side of the two, and Lin Mo asked.
In addition to installing and guarding the pumping machine and being responsible for the pumping work, the team members also have to take people to clean the well after draining the well water. After all, after using it for a long time, some debris will definitely accumulate underground.
"It has been cleaned up, and the well is in a relatively remote position. There is not much debris falling down, mainly because of the more sludge accumulation, but it is easy to extract it with a water pump."
"Is the water output from the well large?"
"This..." The team member thought for a while, pointed to the head of the pipe in his hand and said, "It's a little larger than this water. How much water can the machine be pumped? I adjusted the water pumped by the machine to a little smaller than the water from the well water, so that the well water can be stored."
Lin Mo looked at the water coming out of the pipe head, and the amount of water was slightly larger than that of the normal faucet.
"It's enough. Then the well is built larger and the water storage capacity will be enough for us to use."
Whether the water supply is sufficient, the water outlet of the water source is only one aspect, and the water storage is another aspect. It is impossible to use water every moment. If the water use is too much, it is concentrated in those time periods. The water well is repaired to meet the peak water use periods. If water storage is stored at other times, the amount of water is not a problem at all.
"How much water has been pumped up from the temporary fish pond? How deep is it now?"
Upon hearing this, the team member replied: "It is probably only 20 to 30 cm deep. This water tank is too much. I will add water again. Before I can pump water for a long time, I will have to add water again. And now there are still fish that have been caught. I guess I will not be able to even add water in a while."
Lin Mo thought for a while and said, "Let's help you send some fish to you first! The batch of fish I caught at the beginning should have been almost over water. Also, when you add water, press some of the water outlet with your fingers and let the water spray into the water tank. This should increase the amount of dissolved oxygen to avoid problems with the fish due to lack of oxygen."
After giving instructions to the team members, Lin Mo saw that the pile of soil was almost complete, so he called the mule cart that was pulling bricks, and the four of them added a odd job to drive horses to transport the fish to the pond they had built before.
Everyone started transporting the fish first. On the one hand, the water in the fish pond was shallow, and on the other hand, they also used the fish to try it out if there would be any problems. It would not be a pity if the fish died.
Mule carts transport one or two water tanks at a time, the larger ones transport one at a time, and the smaller ones transport two at a time. However, after only three times, the small fish that had almost passed through the water were transported.
"These big fish are too cruel, right? The little fish are left with only so many foods left?"
There are indeed very few small fish, and the small fish they transport are not all the ones with big fingers. Many of them are as big as a palm, and weigh a few pounds. This is not the same as the small fish in the usual sense.
"It is normal for big fish to eat small fish, but the comparison of the number of big fish and small fish is too different from the normal situation. And there are no ferocious carnivorous predation fish in it. There are so few small fish, and I guess there are other reasons besides the predation of big fish."
"Don't keep keeping it in the air! Why should I say it quickly?" I took a risk together and brought Zhang Jingmin and Lin Mo a lot closer. I thought Lin Mo was coming again, so I immediately spoke.
"I didn't intend to keep it a secret, I just wanted to explain the consequences of this matter clearly. I guess the reason is that the groundwater temperature is too low, which affects the reproduction of these fish.
Now is the breeding period for these fish. If they reproduce normally, there should be a large number of small fryes underneath. Few small fishes indicate that the conditions below are not suitable for their breeding. These fish rarely even do not have any special effects. The small fish have only entered through the canal for a short time."
Zhang Jingmin thought for a while and nodded, "It makes sense to say that, the small fish will not come up along the canal. Some of them will be eaten by the big fish when they come in. There are already a lot of them left."
"That's right~ and we have transferred these big fish out. I think the water temperature should reach a suitable temperature for breeding. You can put some branches, straw and thatch into the pond as their breeding beds. Maybe you can get a lot of small fish fry in a while."
While talking, several people followed the car back to the fish pond and began to transport the slightly larger fish to clean up some of the water tank.
"What the hell is it~" The few people saw the fish they put in and did not have any problems. They rushed back to transport the large goods they had started to catch. They didn't want to see a few odd job unloading workers gathered together and looked at anything.
After the odd jobs sift the mud, they need to send the sieved things out of the circle of blue bricks in the enclosed gear and pour them into several water tanks outside. At this time, several people were surrounded. Zhang Jingmin saw that there was a lot of fun, so the few people had to follow him. The odd jobs who had led the mule cart were arranged to help unload the mud.
"Mr. Zhang, please help me see what this is? It just sifted out of the mud." Seeing a few people coming, the odd worker handed the thing to Zhang Jingmin, who was leading the way. He looked at it and didn't recognize it, and handed it to Lin Mo.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! "Pearl..." Lin Mo glanced at it and immediately recognized it. It was a pearl with a small finger with a large tip and irregularly lubricated small strips. The overall dark purple and some other colors of dizzy colors, which looked quite beautiful.
"Look for it quickly and see if there is any..." When everyone heard it was Pearl, they immediately became interested and started to search on the sieve and the water tank.
"Who found this..." Lin Mo took the pearl aside and washed the mud on it, handed it to Liu Zhenshan and the team member before asking.
"I..." A timid voice sounded. Lin Mo saw that it was Han Wu who had transported fish for them before, who was big and thick. He heard that he was the fifth in the family and was a little silly, so he called him Han Wu.
However, he is just honest but not stupid. He has asked his wife to give birth to three children, and he is a good at driving a car. His life is quite enjoyable in this era. Some people always think he is honest and thought it is easy to bully, so they took a job at an unfamiliar construction site yesterday. Xiao Qingpi, who was in charge, wanted to deduct his money, but he fucked him with one punch.
According to him, he was so angry that he couldn't control his strength. The other party didn't cause trouble for him. It wasn't that he had a neighbor police officer. He met a criminal when he was a patrolman and was blown off by Han Wu and saved his life. The other party kept protecting him. However, Han Wu felt sorry for what happened yesterday. He couldn't sleep late at night and met a team member looking for someone.
"Give it to me?" Lin Mo handed the pearl back to Hanwu, which made Hanwu stunned. He took it at a loss and spoke in confusion.
"Although it is a pearl, it is not worth much. It is worth the round beads and big and shiny ones.
You can keep this yourself, the color is pretty good, but the shape is not worth much. You can find a place to make jewelry, make a support to inlaid it, make it into a pendant, earrings, hairpins and other things to give it to your wife.”
"Hehe..." After hearing Lin Mo say this, Han Wu scratched his head and was a little embarrassed and laughed for a while before carefully putting away the things.
Another one was found, which was round and standard bead, but not big, with an estimated diameter of only seven or eight millimeters, milky white, and not worth much.
Looking at the other party's hopeful eyes, Lin Mo felt speechless. Although Han Wu was protected by a sheriff's neighbor, he had never tried any benefits under the name of the other party. He was still honest and worked hard to work hard to make money. Only someone bullied him would fight back. He was a little more serious about this and still couldn't get over it.
It’s not unreasonable that the rest of others are selected. Not to mention the few people who are old or have difficulty in hand and footwork, one of them is all lazy and lazy. They are the most active in counting lunch. They are slow to work and are lazy and lazy. The work they do is probably not much more than Han Wu.
"Keep it for yourself..." After returning the things, Lin Mo said to everyone: "It is found in the mud, whoever finds it is counted as whoever is, the river clams are separated and put in a box. You can't move these."
Lin Mo thought that he was lucky enough to be able to find two pearls, but he was slapped in the face shortly after a while. A bunch of hands reached out and asked him to help him see it. There were six or seven, but I don’t know if it was just dug out.
Lin Mo didn't bother with this and helped him look at it one by one. It was basically six or seven millimeters. Some were not much larger than rice grains. However, there were also ones that were very large, pure white, with an estimated diameter of eleven or two millimeters. The beads were still very round, but unfortunately, I don't know if it was soaked for a long time or something, but it didn't have any luster, and one wasted bead.
"Okay, OK~ It's time to do work, the car is coming..." Xu Guyu drove out the carriage and pulled out the mud, and Lin Mo quickly sent away the circle of people around him.
"This group of lazy guys is cheap..." Several people also drove the mule cart over to continue transporting fish. Zhang Jingmin was a little angry. He had never noticed the work of these people before, but he had passed by the few people when transporting fish. He had already seen clearly what these guys were.
"It doesn't matter, it's not worth much. I guess the big and good goods are still in the river clams! We'll open it after the work is over."
"This relationship is good! Alas~ No, the probability of pearls appearing in this river clam is not high. I have opened many river clams since I was a child, and I have never opened pearls?"
"I guess the probability of pearls being produced in these river clams will be higher."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jingmin asked, "Is it because there are too many river clams that have been eaten, and the pearls inside have accumulated in the mud over the years?"
"The reason why pearls appear in the mud is definitely what you said, but if it is the rate of bead production of normal wild river clams, if you can sift out three or two, it can only say that you have a lot of luck."
Speaking of this, Lin Mo did not want to be mistaken for being kept in a silence, so he continued to explain: "I have some guesses about the reason. One is that there are many fine sand and broken shells in the secret passage, and river clams will inevitably enter the clams during the growth process.
Secondly, there are many big fish below, and the cracks in the secret passage, the living water brings more dissolved oxygen and sufficient food. The big fish may spend most of the time living in that area, and river clams also live in that area.
As the food of big fish, river clams have many big fish. They swim around them all day long and are very susceptible to predation attacks. They cannot escape. The only thing they can protect themselves is to close the shell and attack frequently for a long time. In order to avoid attacks, they can only close the shell quickly. This increases the chance of foreign objects entering. In this case, they may not be able to discharge foreign objects in time, and the chance of forming pearls will naturally increase.
The reason why the river clams bear pearls is mainly because foreign objects or pathological invasion stimulates the secret pearl-like enveloping foreign objects or their own pathological tissues. This is the rough reason. Another reason may be that river clams are prone to illness underneath.
Of course, these are just my personal inferences. I cannot be sure whether it is correct or not. However, it is possible to determine whether the fish are produced by the river clams below. Although the fish are large, the size of the river clams they can eat is also limited. Most of the pearls sifted out are not large to prove that they can prove that they want to find large goods. So if you want to find large goods, you have to be on these surviving river clams.
As for whether you can find good products, it depends entirely on luck, but the big one itself is better than the small one! Even if it is not worth much money, it is also good to keep it as a souvenir or a small gift for others."
Lin Mo said as he moved the water tank to the cart with several people. The few people were about to continue chatting, but Xu Guyu came over and called the few people aside.
"I see that the pillars supported by the secret passage have been soaked in some places..."
It turned out that Xu Guyu had some problems when he checked the cleared support column. He saw a few people coming out and walked through the secret path, so he wanted to hear the opinions of several people, how to deal with these problems in the secret path, and whether to repair the wall like the entrance.
"This... should not be necessary..." Lin Mo said first and said, "If there are any damages, replace them, and if there are any dangers, maintain them. If building a wall is a great journey, it is not easy to repair the secret path by others. We have to repair the year of the Monkey and Horse Month alone?
