1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 168 Arriving at the fishing spot

After Chen Huiying knew that they were going fishing in the open sea, she chatted all night and said many things to pay attention to.

 For example, when you go to the open sea, you cannot talk nonsense.

 Don't urinate on the bow of the boat.

But Nagging was nagging, but he had a lot of work in hand. That night, he helped bake a lot of light cakes and made some bad meat.

 In their country, in addition to eating light cakes, there is also a rather luxurious way to eat them.

That is to cut the cake into pieces with a knife, put a piece of pork in it, and spread some pickled mustard on top.

The locals call this snow vegetable light cake.

In the northern region, part of its leaves turn red in autumn and winter, so it is named "Xuelihong". In southern China, because the red "Xuelihong" is rarely seen, it is also misunderstood as "Xuelihong".

Seeing this light cake, Li Duoyu couldn't help but swallow his throat and couldn't help but eat a piece first. Some things may not be delicious, but they have a taste of the past.

Little Fatty rushed over after smelling the fragrance. When he saw his uncle finishing up the cake, he grinned and said, "Uncle, what are you eating?"

Li Duoyu glanced at Li Haoran: "Would you like a piece too?"

 Little Pangdun nodded quickly.

 But at this moment, the second sister-in-law’s voice came from outside the kitchen.

 “I know how to eat and eat all day long.”

 “If you use the time you eat to study, you will still fail.”

Seeing her mother-in-law making cakes for her brother-in-law, Zhu Xiuhua couldn't help complaining and picking them up: "Auntie, don't let Haoran eat them secretly in the future. He is already the fattest one in the school. If this continues, he might become the whole burden. The fattest one on the island.”

Chen Huiying will let Zhu Xiuhua deal with other details, except for her grandson.

"Being able to eat is a blessing. Besides, Haoran is fat. This is a sign of blessing."

“Other families can’t even eat anything they want. Look at the children in Lao Zeng’s family. They are all as skinny as monkeys. It feels like a gust of wind could blow them over.”

Zhu Xiuhua replied: "But I heard people say that she is too fat and cannot grow taller."

 “You can’t grow taller without nutrition.”

When A Niang said this, Li Duoyu looked at the little fat guy and suddenly felt that Li Haoran was not as fat as he thought. At most, he just had a little more meat on his face and limbs, and his belly was a little rounder.

Compared with those chubby little guys in his previous life who loved to eat fried chicken and had several tires on them when they sat down, Li Haoran's "tonnage" was completely insufficient.

 Perhaps it is because there is not enough oil and water. Most of the people on Dandan Island seem to be lean, so as long as they are a little bit fat, it is easy to be called fat these days.

Zhu Xiuhua feels that her mother-in-law has changed a lot this year. When she saw her before, she didn't want to talk to her.

Not only does she talk too much now, but whenever she says something wrong, she will not only glare at her, but also talk back to her.

Zhu Xiuhua did the math, and now her status in this courtyard has dropped to fifth place, with almost no weight to speak.

Zhu Xiuhua also understands the reason for all this, mainly because of poverty.

 Now everyone is focused on money.

Whoever is richer will have a higher status.

Just like the current brother-in-law Li Duoyu, although he calls out for poverty all day long, no one knows that he is now the richest on the island.

The ladies who weaved fishing nets with her would praise him every now and then, wishing he was their son-in-law.

Zhu Xiuhua looked at her husband again. After Li Duoyu became the village director, he went back to work as the village accountant.

Continued to receive a monthly salary of thirty yuan and lived a comfortable life. After get off work every day, he would either take a walk or listen to the radio.

 Seeing this, Zhu Xiuhua was furious.

“Li Yaoguo, let me take care of your son. How fat he has become.”

 “Don’t be like a puddle of mud all day long.”

 The next day, around six o'clock in the morning, an egg yolk was slowly rising from the sea in the east.

 The pier of Dandan Island also became lively, and most of them were fishermen waiting for the high tide to go out to sea.

 After all, the fishing port on Dandan Island was built in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is not a deep-water port. Going to sea depends on the time.

 And today we happened to hit a big tide.

 Most of the fishing boats are lying down.

 So it’s useless to come early.

When Li Duoyu came to the dock, he found Uncle San and others carrying water and food to the tugboat.     If you go fishing in this season, you should go to catch hairtail.

Second uncle, who was smoking a cigarette on the boat, looked at Li Duoyu carrying so many fishing rods on his back and asked: "Duoyu, are these the fishing rods that the little devil gave you? Show me them twice."

Li Duoyu handed over a fishing rod. In fact, he was a little worried, fearing that his second uncle would suddenly smash his fishing rod.

 After all, my second uncle experienced those tragic years and was still a victim, no matter what the relationship between the two parties is now.

 But the hatred that penetrates the bone marrow will not disappear with the passage of time. The second uncle instinctively hates everything about the little devil.

After the second uncle took the fishing rod, he looked at it for a while and then frowned.

"This little devil is really good. If he can even make a fishing rod so well, then his fishing boat is also more powerful."

 Li Duoyu nodded.

I didn’t reveal too much information about the island country to my second uncle, otherwise I was afraid that he would become unbalanced and break his fishing rod.

 The second uncle returned the fishing rod to Li Duoyu.

“The waves outside are big and your fishing boat is not very big. You must be careful when fishing. If you see white-headed waves, run away.”

"knew."

 Lao Zhuang, who got up early in the morning to collect fish, saw that Li Duoyu was going to go fishing, so he quickly said:

“Duoyu, if you catch a big fish today, remember to sell some to me. Liangyu’s seafood shop has been doing well recently, so I want some big stuff.”

Li Duoyu glanced at Uncle Zhuang. Since the business of his son's seafood shop has improved, his overall mental state has also improved a lot.

At this time, Mr. Mi, the belated fishmonger, couldn’t help but cursed when he saw Lao Zhuang:

“Damn it, Lao Zhuang, you can’t just keep grabbing goods just because you’re familiar with our village director.”

Lao Zhuang gave him a disgusted look: "His father and I are brothers. If he doesn't sell his fish to me, why should he sell it to you?"

“Besides, when your business grew bigger, did you ever want to give me a share of the pie?”

 Old man Mi knew he was in the wrong and quickly said to Li Duoyu: "Duoyu, we have been friends for so many years. If we catch a big fish, the price can be easily negotiated."

Li Duoyu smiled.

“This is my first time fishing in the sea, so you are not afraid of me hunting turtles.”

 The fisherman on the side laughed and said: "It's impossible to hunt turtles. At worst, we can get some black sea bream back."

 Old man Mi quickly said: "Even if it's black sea bream, I'll take it."

 An old fisherman who was smoking said with emotion: "Have you noticed that there seem to be fewer and fewer fish in the past two years?"

“Especially the large yellow croaker, it feels like it has disappeared. There has been no fishing season for several years.”

“Not only the large yellow croaker, but also the skinned fish, I think, have been reduced a lot. In the past, the net size was one big boatload.”

 Li Duoyu thought about his past life and what others had told him. It seemed that there were quite a lot of fish in the offshore waters in the 1980s, but some specific fish species had been reduced due to long-term fishing.

The real depletion of offshore fishery resources should have started in the 1990s. At that time, it was difficult to catch swarms of big fish in the offshore, and they were all small miscellaneous fish. Everyone began to move to the open sea and open ocean.

It was not until 1995 that the country realized the seriousness of the problem and officially implemented a "no fishing season."

Before setting off, Li Duoyu suddenly remembered something and went to Defa Health Station and bought two syringes for injecting pigs.

 As the fishing boat made a rumbling sound, the fishing boat slowly left the fishing port.

 Nearly two and a half hours.

 The fishing boat is already very far away from the island.

Ship boss Li Shuguang looked at the vast sea in front of him. There were no islands or mountains around, and there was not even a fishing boat nearby.

It was the first time that he sailed the boat so far, so he said a little worriedly: "Duoyu, are you familiar with this area?"

 Chen Wenchao and Li Qingguang were also a little worried. They found that as seasiders, they were actually afraid after seeing the vast sea.

Li Duoyu said casually: "Familiar, when I used to sell goods, I often saw fishing boats from the other side of the bay fishing here."

 In fact, this fishing spot was told to him by the fisherman named Lao Tang in his previous life, who told him that there were three saury and giant anchovy at the mouth of the sea.

In his previous life, he liked boat fishing here very much. He said that in this area of ​​​​the sea, there were all grouper nests. In the 1990s, he made a lot of money fishing for groupers here.

 Just fishing in this place.

 In addition to worrying about the changeable weather at sea, there is another point that needs special attention.

 It's just that this place is very close to the overseas provinces, and the boundaries on the sea are very blurred. The thing you are most afraid of encountering is the iron boat of law enforcement.
