1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 144: Teaching a man to fish (please subscribe)

 When Li Duoyu woke up again.

 It is already noon.

After seeing him wake up, little Tutu beside him was babbling and wanted his father to play with him for a while.

 Li Duoyu yawned.

It was such a comfortable sleep.

 Handlessly took an iron frog and performed a very clumsy art of disappearing things.

 Each time the tin frog disappears.

Little Tutu’s eyes would widen and her limbs would freeze.

Li Duoyu transformed into an iron frog again.

 Little Tutu will laugh happily.

Li Duoyu played with him for a while, then picked him up. When he came to the kitchen, he found that the lobster was still there. Zhou Xiaoying actually brought some seawater up and raised it.

 “Why didn’t you eat this lobster?”

Zhou Xiaoying said: "My mother cooked a big pot of rice at noon, so I didn't eat it."

 Li Duoyu opened the door and took a look.

The courtyard is full of foam floats, some of which are brand new. It looks like they were bought in the town.

And now the group of people are surrounding the Eight Immortals table in their home, serving food.

Seeing so many people, Zhou Xiaoying hurriedly hugged the child and said: "There are too many people smoking outside, don't take the child out."

"Um."

Li Duo felt that this group of people had gone too far. They asked him to do something, but they were still so arrogant.

 Come early in the morning and block the door without saying anything.

It is too bullying to ask his father and mother to prepare salty rice for them at noon.

 It is tolerable, but what is intolerable?

An old man who had finished his meal and was smoking a cigarette saw Li Duoyu and said, "You must have slept well. You are finally willing to wake up."

Li Duoyu immediately laughed and said, "Second uncle, how about lunch."

 Li Duoyu looked around and found that most of them were relatives of their family.

 Great uncle, second uncle, third uncle, cousin, uncle, uncle, uncle Zhuang, aunt, cousin, sisters-in-law

 In the past, when we cut down trees, collect kelp, and plant oyster seedlings, we relied on the help of these relatives.

Li Shuguang, who was eating salted rice, said: "The food at Duoyu's house is the most delicious, especially the pickled vegetables made by my second aunt to make pork rib soup. It's really delicious."

 After smelling that salty and sour smell.

 Li Duoyu couldn't help but swallowed.

Some foods are not really delicious, but they are just engraved into the genes.

 Pickles were the mainstream ingredient on Dandan Island for a certain period of time. At that time, every household had two vats.

 One is used to make fish sauce.

 One is used to pickle pickles.

 Their local pickles use mustard greens, which are easier to grow.

This is a vegetable that can be grown all year round. It can grow very large. Every time you want to eat it, just use a knife to cut a few mustard leaves.

  It can be fried and eaten directly, or it can be used as a side dish in seafood porridge, if you encounter mustard greens blooming.

 Everyone will pick it whole, dry it in the sun, apply some coarse salt on it, and then step on it with their feet to quickly dehydrate it.

 In Li Duoyu’s childhood memories.

 There are two types of dishes that are eaten the most.

One of them is sweet potato leaves. At that time, a lot of sweet potatoes were grown on the island. After everyone got tired of eating sweet potatoes, they started eating sweet potato leaves.

The sweet potato leaves used to grow sweet potatoes are really not delicious. Now that I think about it, they are more like eating pig food.

 The other type is pickles.

This dish is quite versatile.

At that time, there were few seasonings, so everyone put pickles on the large yellow croaker and steamed it together.

However, that dish was not very delicious to Li Duoyu. What impressed him most was the pickled vegetable and pork ribs soup.

When he was a child, he had very few opportunities to eat pork, only once or twice a year.

 Once the meat is divided.

Grandma is often reluctant to eat it. In order to maximize the utilization of pork, grandma makes soup.

 Use pickles and pork ribs to make soup together. Every time you eat, Li Duoyu eats the pickles first.

 Have some soup.

 Don’t eat meat for now. After a few meals, when the pork rib soup is completely tasteless, you will be willing to eat the meat.

 Every time I smell this smell.

Li Duoyu can't help drooling and has an increased appetite.

Even in his previous life, after returning from the island country, every time his family cooked this dish, he couldn't help but eat one or two more bowls of white rice.

　Unfortunately, with the industrialization of pickles in the future, it is difficult to find as authentic as before.

 I remember when I was a child.

 Every time you pickle pickles.

Aniang would ask her brothers to wash their feet, and then let them step on mustard greens with coarse salt with their bare feet. It is said that the pickles produced by stepping on bare feet have the best taste.

 Li Duoyu ate two bowls of salty rice.

 After drinking a large bowl of broth.

He followed the guys to the beach of Dandan Island. He first asked Chen Wenchao to transport the remaining moso bamboo to the beach.

 Start to teach you how to make a cage for fishing small tubes.

This thing looks simple, but there are many tricks. It is not an easy task to tie a cage firmly. It requires certain steps and regulations. If you tie it casually, the small tube has not been caught yet, and the cage will disintegrate if the waves hit it twice more.

 Li Duoyu teaches very carefully.

 These fishermen are also very diligent in learning.

Nearly two hours later, Li Duoyu **** a cage.

 And everyone followed his method and **** the cages one after another.

 The imagination was wonderful, but the result was shocking, especially after seeing the cage made by his cousin Li Shuguang.

 Li Duoyu’s mouth twitched.

When he was teaching, it was obviously a square cage, but in the end, it was tied into a diamond shape. This kind of cage structure was quite dangerous.

Li Duoyu couldn't stand it anymore, so she had to tie him up again.

 Next, we checked the cages used to catch small pipes.

It was almost the same high tide time yesterday, but it was delayed by 48 minutes.

 In fact, this can be used to calculate the highest tide time every day based on the lunar calendar date.

From the first to the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar:

 High tide time=date*0.8.

 From the 16th to the 30th day of the lunar calendar:

 High tide time=(date-15)*0.8.

  Today is the 25th day of the lunar calendar. After applying the formula, it equals (25-15)*0.8.

 It can be concluded that the highest tide time today is almost eight o'clock, and there are two high and low tides a day, each time about twelve hours and twenty minutes apart.

 So it can be concluded that the high tide time in the evening is: around 8:20 pm.

 But at this time.

 Most fishermen do not use this method to calculate, and most of them rely on experience.

 That is, rote memorization.

There is also a monthly tide timetable at the pier. As long as they know what day it is on the lunar calendar, local fishermen can immediately know the high and low tide times today.

  8:10 pm.

 The tide rose to the place where Li Duoyu and the others tied the cages, and eight new cages floated.

 The beach side is particularly bright tonight, because half the village's lanterns have been gathered here.

 There were also a lot of people watching on the shore.

 The third uncle who took the lead shouted: "Let's go to the sea, grab the small pipe."

 The villagers watching on the shore also shouted:

 “Make a lot of money.”

 The people on the fishing boat shouted:

"OK."

With the sound of the tugboat "rumbling", these cages tied together were slowly pulled away from the beach.

Because now on Dandan Island, there are not many fishermen like Li Duoyu, Li Shuguang and Wang Jinjun who own diesel engines.

Most fishermen use sampans with sculling oars, and it is not easy to pull such a big thing away from the beach by manpower.

So everyone invited Li Zhengfa’s tugboat to tow the cages used to catch small tubes to the sea first.

 After being launched into the sea one by one.

The fishermen also took their sampans out to sea one after another and found their own cages.

 Following.

 Start fishing for small tubes according to the method Li Duoyu taught them.

 After a while.

 Everyone was very excited.

“Damn it, I broke the net. This net is worth at least a hundred kilograms of small pipes.”

　　"Good luck, Ganiniang, my net is full of Balang fish."

 “My network is not bad either.”

The Zhao brothers, who were still using hand ropes to catch small pipes, were dumbfounded when they saw the new gadget. Now they finally understood.

An old fisherman frowned and asked after seeing the Zhao brothers: "Didn't you find many fish today? Why are you still fishing with hand ropes?"

 The Zhao brothers were dumbfounded.

 Because they had just seen with their own eyes that for the number of small pipes caught in one net, they might have to fish for three or four hours.

This time Zhao Dahai finally understood.

The two boats of small tubes that Li Duoyu pulled in the early morning were either purchased or caught by him himself.

Zhao Dahai’s head was buzzing.

Zhao Erniu frowned: "Brother, how about we also imitate them?"

The old fisherman said: "Don't do it randomly. There are skills in this. Our cages are also adjusted by Duoyu. If you want to do it, it's best to go to Duoyu. He is a very nice person." Except for the material fee, almost no other money is charged.”

Zhao Dahai gritted his teeth and frowned.

Zhao Erniu said: "Brother, Brother Yu invited us to dinner early in the morning. Let's go find him and bow our heads. Maybe Brother Yu will help us."

Seeing that his eldest brother was still hesitating, Zhao Erniu said angrily: "Don't get stuck with money, okay? The season of Xiaoguan is very short. If Lao Lu and the others make so much every time, the price will fall immediately. "

“At that time, if we fish small pipes with ropes like this, we probably won’t make more than ten yuan a night.”

Zhao Dahai sighed helplessly: "Er Niu, let's bring a bottle of wine to see Brother Yu tomorrow."

"OK."

Lao Lu next to him smiled and said: "You can go buy a plastic foam float early tomorrow morning. For moso bamboo, you can buy it directly from Duoyu. It's best to buy him a pack of cigarettes. Maybe I can get it for you for free."

 “Thank you, Uncle Lu.”
