1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 145 Patent Fees

This night, since his uncle Chen Dongqing was not there, Li Duoyu could only ask his father to help.

 They tried it last night.

There are too many small tubes.

Two people can't do it at all, it takes at least three to make it turn.

After the second sister-in-law Zhu Xiuhua heard this, she became excited instantly and felt that an opportunity had come.

“Duoyu, Dad is already tired from helping you look after the oyster fields all day long, so let Dad rest more. As the old saying goes: Father and son cannot be in the same boat, if they are in the same boat."

Zhu Xiuhua hasn’t finished speaking yet.

 Chen Huiying, who was mending her shoes, glared at her daughter-in-law angrily and cursed: "What's wrong with your mouth?"

 Seeing my mother-in-law angry.

Zhu Xiuhua quickly swallowed the words that came to her lips, and then smiled awkwardly: "I didn't mean that, I meant that dad is too tired, why don't you let Yaoguo try it."

"The brigade has not paid wages to Yaoguo this month. If we don't make some money, our family will have to suffer from the northwest wind."

 Before Dandan Island, there was indeed a saying that "father and son cannot be in the same boat", but it was only in the case of "singles", in order to prevent the annihilation of children and grandchildren.

 It’s like a previous life.

 Family members cannot take the same plane, take the highway, and try not to be in the same car.

　　 is the same principle.

The Li family is prosperous, so there is no need to be too taboo, but safety must be paid attention to.

 Therefore, when Li Duoyu goes fishing now, he will try to bring Chen Wenchao's life-saving talisman with him.

 After Zhu Xiuhua finished speaking, he wrenched Li Yaoguo out of the room.

 Seeing the old man with a decadent face and no shave, Lao Li and Chen Huiying were helpless.

 After Wang Jinjun is elected, the second child will indeed be unemployed with a high probability.

 Lao Li thought about it for a while.

"Duoyu, otherwise I won't go tonight. You can take Yaoguo and try it out."

Chen Huiying frowned and said, "But the second brother has never fished before. Can he fish this late at night?"

Old Li said in a deep voice: "You are so old and you still love him, no matter what, you have to do it. As the mainstay of the family, how can it be so easy?"

Zhu Xiuhua nodded and said: "My uncle is fine, Yao Guo will definitely be fine."

 Chen Huiying remained silent.

 Seeing everyone saying this, Li Duoyu had no choice but to agree.

“But we agreed in advance that it’s okay to come over and work, but the wages are the same as Xiaochao’s. I will only pay the wages, and I won’t share them equally with you.”

 See Li Duoyu nod in agreement.

Zhu Xiuhua was all smiles: "As long as you have money, you can pay me whatever you want. It will be higher than his accountant's salary."

 When Li Duoyu sets off.

Those who were fishing for small pipes had been fishing for more than an hour. They were very agile and had two baskets of small pipes.

Li Duoyu didn't expect that he originally thought that his second brother might be a little worse than his uncle, a college student.

 But he really didn’t expect it.

The second brother is not seasick during the day, but he gets seasick at night. He also has a little claustrophobia and is afraid of the endless darkness of the sea.

 And stand on the cage.

My forehead couldn't help sweating, my feet couldn't stop shaking, and my face was so pale that I could have acted in a horror movie.

 The second brother wanted to give up.

As someone who has been through this, Li Duoyu knows very well that a poor couple will suffer from everything if the second brother continues to be unable to make money.

Then the whole family will definitely be in a state of uproar.

 It will not only affect father and mother, but it may also affect their family.

 Because it really made the second sister-in-law anxious.

This woman's IQ and EQ will really plummet, and anyone who sees her will want to take a bite.

 Li Duoyu lit a cigarette for his second brother.

“Smoke a few cigarettes to get over it. If you go back like this, you will probably be beaten up by my second sister-in-law, and my parents will probably not save you.”

Thinking that Zhu Xiuhua was really angry recently, Li Yaoguo took a long drag on his cigarette.

 “Fuck it, I’ll try again.”

Li Yaoguo gritted his teeth and kept chanting "Mazu bless you", and finally persisted.

 After this fishing.

Li Yaoguo finally understood how difficult it was to make a living at sea. He had only been working for a few hours when his whole body became sore.

It can be seen that Li Yaoguo became energetic immediately after seeing how many small managers could be caught in one net. He was an accountant by training.

 The price of each network tube was calculated after a while.

 “There are at least four pieces in this net.”

 “This net costs six yuan.”

 At Qingkou Wharf in the early morning of the next day, the fishmongers who specialize in collecting fish were collectively dumbfounded.

 Because there are so many small pipes today, almost every boat of fishermen who come to sell small pipes is full. Li Shuguang's big fishing boat has more than twenty baskets of small tubes, and they don't know how to price it now.

 After a group of fishmongers discussed it.

The price was reduced to 10 cents on the spot because the quantity was too large and they were worried that they would not be able to sell it if they bought too much, so they lost it in their hands.

 After hearing the purchase price, the Zhao brothers, who had only caught one and a half baskets, almost quarreled with the fishmonger.

Zhao Dahai glared and said:

“Yesterday it was 15 cents, why is there only 10 cents left today?”

 The fishmonger rolled his eyes at them.

"Do you want to sell it? If not, I have no intention of taking it."

 After hearing this, the two brothers fell silent and chose to sell the small tube.

 In the end, the two brothers worked hard all night and only earned twelve yuan.

 Each person received only six yuan.

As for those fishermen who use cages, even if the purchase price of small tubes plummets, each person will get at least 40 yuan.

This time due to the addition of Li Yaoguo, Li Duoyu's efficiency was obviously much slower, and nearly two hours were wasted at the beginning.

 When he arrived at Qingkou Pier.

Cousin Li Shuguang and the others have already sold out the small tubes. Li Shuguang, who was counting money with the fishmonger at the dock, said with a smile.

 “Duoyu, why are you so slow today.”

 When he saw the pale Li Yaoguo, he understood immediately.

“Okay, even Yaoguo has come out to help.”

 “I’m just a laggard.” Li Yaoguo sighed.

Li Shuguang said: "It's good to get used to it. Whoever didn't come here like this at the beginning, it seems like you can find the hole from the beginning."

The old fishermen, all of whom had been there before, couldn't help but laugh.

 After arriving at the dock, Li Duoyu sold the small tube to Lao Zhang. This time the catch was much less than yesterday.

 Only more than 700 kilograms.

 According to the purchase price that day, Li Duoyu only got seven Unity cards.

This made him sigh.

What Li Duoyu didn’t expect was that Li Shuguang took out sixteen big cards and stuffed them into Li Duoyu’s hands.

 “Everyone gives you the royalties.”

Li Duoyu was dumbfounded: "I just said it casually, and you really gave it."

Li Shuguang said seriously: "You think we want to give it to you? My father said that everything must be done in accordance with the rules. Take it quickly, otherwise I will always feel that I owe you a favor, which will be uncomfortable."

 “Take it.”

“No, we’re really a little embarrassed because we took advantage of your family yesterday.”

Li Duoyu chuckled and said, "Then I'll really accept it."

The second uncle laughed and scolded: "No matter how you play Jiji, if you hadn't been played by me when you were a child, I would have thought you were a woman."

“Damn it, uncle, when did you play it?”

 “When you peed in my water tank.”

 “Ah, don’t slander me, why don’t I remember.”

“You don’t remember a lot of things, and you even stole my eggs and peanuts.”

 Another neighbor also said:

“I would have forgotten if I didn’t mention it, the urinal in front of our house seems to have been blown up by Duoyu’s firecrackers.”

Seeing everyone keep exposing, Li Duoyu quickly stopped: "It's all in the past, so don't mention it anymore."

 Seeing that everyone was giving money to Li Duoyu, the Zhao brothers were also very curious and asked Lao Lu to inquire about it. Only then did they find out that they were thanking Li Duoyu for helping build the cages and the benefits were given.

After struggling for a while, the Zhao brothers also took out two big unity cards, but they did not look for Li Duoyu first.

 Instead, he handed a cigarette to Chen Wenchao who was resting beside him.

Seeing the Zhao brothers handing him cigarettes, Chen Wenchao looked very ugly. The relationship between the two parties was really not good.

Zhao Dahai said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Xiao Chao, our brothers did not do something right before. We brothers will make amends to you."

Chen Wenchao sighed and took the cigarette. Of course he knew the reason why the Zhao brothers were so humble.

 “Go find Brother Yu yourself.”

 Subsequently, Zhao Dahai found Li Duoyu and handed over two great unity pieces.

“Brother Yu, I see everyone is using that cage to catch small tubes. Can you help me get a cage too?”

 And what happened just now.

Li Duoyu also saw it, and then said: "Okay, but twenty yuan is not enough."

“Twenty moso bamboos, plus ten yuan, and you have to go to the town to buy a float.”

 After hearing Li Duoyu’s promise.

The two Zhao brothers became excited: "Okay, our brothers will buy it right away."
