Chapter 85: Farming salmon, the streams are drying up?! (15)

Hearing Aunt Wang say this, Su Ran instantly thought of the black bear he had met in the forest before.

"Aunt, you must have seen it wrong. Not to mention my recent experience, even Grandpa has never seen a blind bear running to the foot of the mountain before."

The appearance of a black bear at the foot of the mountain was enough to cause panic no matter where it happened. Considering that most of the people in Qijiaqiao Village were elderly, Su Ran told a white lie.

"Then I must have seen it wrong."

Aunt Wang smiled awkwardly, and on the way back she was wondering if she hadn't slept well in the past few days.

“Is there really a bear at the foot of the mountain?”

The old man was smoking his pipe and staring at Su Ran with a smile.

Su Ran nodded and said, "Yes, I did meet a blind bear when I was swimming in the riverbed of Linhai before, but I had subdued that guy and he didn't dare to come down the mountain to hurt anyone."

However, to be on the safe side, Su Ran decided to go up the mountain to see why the black bear appeared at the foot of Lin Hai Mountain.

After turning on the live broadcast, Su Ran smiled and said to the netizens: "Good afternoon, everyone. I will take you to the mountain to find Big Bear later."

The black bear is actually a cute-looking animal.

Because of its poor eyesight, people in Northeast China call it blind bear.

But bears have extremely keen senses of smell and hearing.

As a large animal, black bears walk slowly most of the time and rarely run.

In comparison, they are better at climbing trees.

As long as the tree can support his weight, he can climb it no matter what shape it looks like.

After following the mountain path into the forest, Su Ran quickly spotted the black bear on a red pine tree.

Su Ran picked up a stone and threw it at the black bear's butt. The bear scratched its butt with its hand in annoyance. Just as it was about to show its power, it discovered Su Ran standing under the tree.

At this time, Su Ran also saw that the black bear was holding a salmon in its mouth.

Although the black bear was huge, it climbed down the tree smoothly, landing in front of Su Ran like riding a slide, and then gently placed the salmon in its mouth in front of Su Ran.

"Did you catch a fish just for me?"

Su Ran was a little surprised. Maybe the big black bear was very careful in controlling the force of its bite in order to give Su Ran a fresh salmon, but there was still a bite mark on the salmon's back.

Fortunately, this national second-level protected fish is still alive.

"Brother Su, what a blessing this is that you can even have Xiong Da send you a national No. 2."

"This fish was caught by Xiong Da, so doesn't that mean Brother Su can eat it?"

Su Ran shook his head and said, "That's definitely not possible. Even if I didn't catch the fish, it's still illegal to eat it, okay?"

"Humans cannot control the hunting of wild animals, but if this situation is really tolerated, more people will domesticate animals to hunt protected animals."

There is no way such a simple loophole would go unsolved.

Big Xiong opened his mouth naively as if he was laughing, and pushed the salmon towards Su Ran with his hand.

The still-living salmon began to thrash on the ground.

Su Ran stared at the fish's eyes and his eyeballs moved.

Brother, stop looking. I feel I can still save myself.

The salmon flapped its tail and asked Su Ran for help.

The big black bear pressed Xilin's body with his paw in dissatisfaction, trying to make him behave himself.

It would have been better if I didn't press it. With a little force, a string of fish eggs was squeezed out from under the fine-scaled tail fin.

This almost scared Su Ran.

"No, no, no, no, how long can I live if you keep stepping on me like this?"

After being scolded by Su Ran, the big black bear shrank his head timidly, like a primary school student who had done something wrong.

After all, if Su Ran really wanted to give it two punches, Xiong Xiong would not be able to bear it anymore.

Su Ran touched the belly of the salmon and found it was bulging. It must have contained a lot of roe. He estimated that there were about 4,000 roe.

If Su Ran could carry out artificial breeding, apart from the survival rate of the fry, in the end at least nearly a thousand salmon would be successfully grown.

This will undoubtedly be of great help in increasing the population of redfin trout in the wild, and it will also help Su Ran start a wealth-making business by selling artificially farmed redfin trout.

It is a good thing both publicly and privately.

Seeing a smile on Su Ran's face, the big black bear stretched out its paw towards Su Ran in time.

"Are you asking me for honey?"

Big Bear didn't understand what Su Ran was saying, but seeing it pointing its paw towards its mouth, Su Ran's guess should be pretty accurate.

"I've sold all the honey. Can I bring you some when I go to town in a few days?"

At this moment, Li Manchuan's voice suddenly came from the way down the mountain, and Su Ran hurriedly pulled the big black bear and hid.

It’s not that Su Ran had any guilty conscience, but the main reason was that if the villagers saw such a big blind bear, they would inevitably be scared.

The black bear that was pulled behind a big tree was so huge that more than half of its body was exposed.

Su Ran rolled her eyes and said, "Can't you eat less?"

I found some branches and used them to cover the black bear, so it barely avoided being discovered.

Just now, Su Ran heard Uncle Manchuan complaining that he hadn't gained anything the whole afternoon, and felt that they were still far from being able to learn from Su Ran and become rich by relying on forestry.

Moreover, it was very dangerous in the mountains, and I was almost attacked by a lynx.

So these villagers decided not to go up the mountain again.

Su Ran felt that this was a good thing. The forest was full of dangers. In the long run, the mountain products on the outskirts would be picked sooner or later. If one rashly went deep into the forest, it would only end up being more trouble than gain.

The stream at the foot of the mountain is a rare place with good water quality downstream, so Su Ran released the redfin trout there.

After returning home, Su Ran expressed his plan and received strong support from Deng Jiaying who was watching the live broadcast.

"Su Ran, if you can really breed the Scolopendra subspecies on a large scale, then this population will most likely escape the endangered status quo."

"Damn, Brother Su has actually started raising fish, and he's only in the second grade!"

Netizens really think that Su Ran is good at raising small animals, but can she really keep fish alive?
"Don't worry, it's not a big problem. I have already started studying the growth methods of salmon."

"They feed frequently in the morning and evening, and all day on cloudy days. Their food mainly includes small fish, fish eggs, shrimps, as well as mayflies, flying ants, fireflies, ladybugs, horseflies and other insects."

"But the most important thing now is to wait for the salmon to spawn. They only lay eggs once a year and the opportunity is rare."

Through the detailed introduction of the Smooth salmon on the system panel, Su Ran had a more comprehensive understanding of the Smooth salmon.

About a week later, the salmon will begin to spawn, and for this cold-water fish, the eggs will only take four to five days to hatch in the lower water temperature.

Su Ran is not in a position to directly intervene in the hatching process. Only when the fry are raised can he cultivate them from a professional perspective.

For now, Su Ran needs to ensure that the salmon is not disturbed by the outside world as much as possible.

It was because Su Ran was extremely excited about the reproduction of the salmon that he couldn't sleep well the whole night.

From time to time, I would run to the stream with a flashlight to check and make sure the salmon were still alive.

Netizens also noticed Su Ran’s seriousness.

"With Su Ge's attitude, it would be unfair for Yu Mama to not have more babies."

“I’m really looking forward to seeing a large school of fry.”

"Don't worry, Brother Su said it won't take long, we just have to wait."

That night, some netizens who were extremely sleepy went to bed first.

In the early morning of the next day, they found that Su Ran's live broadcast room was still open.

What happened? Did Brother Su really not sleep all night?

As soon as these netizens entered the live broadcast room, they instantly saw a scene that stunned them.

In the camera, the stream that originally had plenty of water had its water level dropped by more than half in just one night!
