1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

 Chapter 116 Kelp sells well (please subscribe)

 The local customs of Dandan Island.

 After the child is one month old.

 The mother-in-law's side should prepare "head and tail", which is everything the child wears from head to toe, including hats, clothes, silver medals, bracelets, anklets, shoes and socks, etc.

The mother’s side should prepare fresh eggs and noodles, mostly dried razor clams, dried cuttlefish, etc.

 But due to the absence of Zhou Xiaoying's parents and the fact that she was raised as a daughter, Chen Huiying also prepared these things.

 On the day of the full moon.

The eldest aunt and the third aunt also came to help. They both carried a small basket filled with red eggs, longevity noodles and freshly steamed red turtles.

 They will distribute it to their neighbors, relatives and villagers with whom they have good relationships, one by one.

　　If you are assigned to a family that has been married but has not yet given birth to a boy, you will give two eggs to the other party in the hope that they will also give birth to a boy.

 In addition to divided eggs,

On this day, children also have to shave their hair.

 Generally, a barber is invited to the home, and the shaved fetal hair is twisted into small braids and wrapped in red silk cloth.

Most of these things are done by women. Clumsy ones like Li Duoyu and Li Zhengtian can only watch from the sidelines and have no way to intervene.

 After doing the full moon.

Li Duoyu went to work immediately. Now he had to sort out the dried seaweed.

 Previously, because the typhoon came so suddenly, everyone had no time to collect and dry the kelp, and there was no time to grade the kelp.

 Now these kelp must be disassembled one by one, trimmed, graded, and packaged before they can be sold.

 As for an entire warehouse of kelp, it is obviously not something that one or two people can complete in a short time.

So, Li Duoyu hired many neighbors and relatives to come over.

Although Li Duoyu's money is not easy to earn, the amount given is not small. One day's work is enough to make several days of net weaving, so everyone is still happy to come over.

 The group of people who came to trim the kelp were the same relatives who had helped to plant the kelp seedlings. The second sister-in-law and eldest aunt were also there.

　　They all bring their own small benches and scissors.

Li Duoyu held a piece of kelp more than three meters long and introduced to everyone:

 “The head needs to be cut off, but not too much.”

"Come down from the kelp head, about one meter away. This is called the first-class dish. It is the most delicious kelp and the most expensive one. We have to cut it here."

Since Li Duoyu still works on a piece-rate basis, everyone immediately grabbed the kelp after knowing how to trim it.

The more you rob, the more you make.

 Not long after, everyone was piled with kelp in front of them.

The second sister-in-law is the strongest, and the kelp in front of her is almost piled up into a small mountain. Li Duoyu feels that if she can finish all this, she can earn at least ten yuan.

Seeing them like this, Li Duoyu coughed twice: "Although we work on a piece basis, if you mess around, I will also deduct your money."

 And not long after.

 Chen Wenchao rushed to the warehouse covered in sweat. When Li Duoyu saw him, he asked, "Didn't you go see Lao Cao today?"

 Chen Wenchao wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "Look, Lao Cao said that our house collapsed, so he went to find another owner to discuss it. Now he will do our house first."

"That's good. According to this progress, your house may be completed in two months."

"Um."

Chen Wenchao was very happy, and he didn’t know why. Since he started hanging out with Brother Yu, everyone has been treating him better and better.

 “Have you told Liu Xiaolan’s mother about this?”

"said."

“Then her mother should be very happy.”

Chen Wenchao smiled bitterly and said: "Her family is now in a mess. Her brothers are in the process of splitting up the family. They are also arguing with Xiaolan, saying that they want her to move out."

Second sister-in-law Zhu Xiuhua, who had a very good ear on the side, couldn't help complaining: "That family is really good at doing things. They have nothing, so how can they be divided into different families? How many sets of bowls and chopsticks can each person get?"

“Xiaochao, I’m telling you, after you get together with Xiaolan, you’d better stay away from her brothers, otherwise it will be hard for you in the future.”

“I know, thank you second sister-in-law for your concern.”

Li Duoyu smiled. The second sister-in-law's mouth was a bit venomous, but she could still distinguish some things clearly.

 Chance Chen Wenchao's current situation, it would be better not to get too close to Liu Xiaolan's brothers.

 If you can break it, break it.

 Otherwise, borrowing money and the like will definitely be indispensable in the future.

 Li Duoyu's work has just started not long ago. Lao Hu, the neighbor who was the first to learn the news, immediately ran over and ordered a batch of 300 kilograms of second-grade vegetables and 500 kilograms of raw vegetables.

Since his children traveled to remote places and their consumption was not high, Lao Hu felt that second-class vegetables and raw vegetables were enough, and there was no need to sell first-class vegetables.

Old man Mi, the fishmonger, heard the news and hurried over to negotiate the price with Li Duoyu.

“Duoyu, we are from the same village, so you can’t make it cheaper. At your price, it’s hard for me to make money.”

Li Duoyu said helplessly:

"Uncle Mi, I really can't lower myself any lower. If I lower myself any further, I won't be able to explain it to others."

 “There’s really no need to negotiate.”

 “Really not.”

“Well, okay, then you give me two hundred catties of first-class ones and five hundred catties of second-class ones. I’ll go and sell them first. If they sell well, I’ll come back later to get them.”

 “Okay, we’ll make arrangements right away.”

 At this time, the village radio rang again.

“Dear fellow villagers, this afternoon, Li Duoyu from our village is selling kelp at the warehouse of the village brigade.

I heard that this time the kelp is even better than last time. Today it will be sold to our villagers at the previous price. If you want to buy kelp, hurry up and buy it today, otherwise the price may increase tomorrow. "

Lao Mao shouted passionately, as if his own family was selling kelp.

 In the team leader's office, Wang Dapao felt helpless after hearing the broadcast. Li Duoyu paid for it.

 The process is normal and no problems can be found. There is no reason not to broadcast it to others.

After everyone heard the broadcast, some villagers put down their work and rushed to the warehouse.

On the other side of the supply and marketing cooperative, some villagers who were buying things stopped buying for the time being and walked towards the warehouse after hearing this.

The salesperson from the supply and marketing cooperative said, "Xiao Li, please take a look at it for me first. I'll buy some kelp first. That naughty kid in my family has been clamoring for kelp soup since the last time he ate it."

“Remember, help me buy a few pounds of first-class goods, and I’ll give you the money later.”

"no problem."

In a small room inside the supply and marketing cooperative, Wang Jinjun was holding a bill in one hand and a calculator in the other, constantly calculating.

 The more you think about it, the darker your face becomes.

 Since the last leader’s surprise inspection, he has not dared to change the price back. Now the more he sells, the more he loses.

Li Niantian, who competed with him for the village director, was from the fishing team and was the captain of the fishing team. Half of the fishermen in the village have a good relationship with him.

It is not easy to win against him, but this person has never cheated and is very innocent, so there is no way to make a fuss about him.

 During this period, in order to win votes, Wang Jinjun invested almost all his family wealth.

If we stop now, then everything will really be lost. We can only bite the bullet and continue to work, sell things cheaply, and see if we can get more votes.

But just now, Wang Jinjun was so angry that he almost broke his teeth after hearing that the female salesperson actually skipped work to buy kelp.

If it were normal times, he would definitely scold this female salesperson.

 But it’s different now. If he scolds her, her family’s votes may not go to him. So during this period, there is only one thing he can do, and that is to endure it!

 Not long after it was broadcast.

 At the entrance of the warehouse, there was a long queue to buy kelp, and people are often like this. When they see everyone starting to grab, they don't care whether the goods are good or not, and wait in line first.

There was a long queue, and when it got to the back, it suddenly split into two.

 An old man shouted: "

"Duoyu, give me a pound of first-class fish. I want to try and see if there is any difference."

Li Duoyu held a small scale in one hand and put a calculator on the other. After weighing the uncle, he smiled and said, "Uncle Zhang, if your weight is one pound, let's just count it as one pound for you."

 “You boy, you really know how to do business.”

 Chen Huiying, who was helping on the side, felt very distressed. This son was too generous, so why did he give away all the change?

She did a simple calculation and found that she had lost at least seven or eight yuan for only a fraction of the price.

Since there were so many villagers coming to buy, the people who trimmed the kelp in the warehouse had no time to pack it.

Second sister-in-law Zhu Xiuhua looked at the kelp that was constantly being sold, her eyes full of envy, and she was thinking that this year, Yaoguo would also raise kelp like Duoyu.

Please recommend me and give me monthly votes.

There will be another chapter later. I have worked very **** typing, but I have a handicap.
