1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 209: I can barely wear any more clothes

Liu Yun, who was escorted onto the boat, felt mixed emotions after seeing Li Duoyu transporting oysters on his fishing boat.

Suddenly I felt stupid. I was not here to steal oysters, but to deliver ships to others.

Li Mingli from the town police station saw Li Duoyu returning to port, so he got off the boat and greeted him.

“Director Li, I haven’t seen you all morning. Come and sit in the office when you have time. Secretary Chen has been thinking about you lately.”

When Li Duoyu saw the director of Dao Police Station, he quickly jumped off the fishing boat and came to him to apologize:

“Sorry, the oysters were cut last night. I went to deal with it with my family early in the morning. Do you want to go to the village committee to make some tea?”

 Director Li waved his hand.

“Next time, it’s a bit inconvenient because there are people being detained on the boat.” Li Mingli glanced at the oysters on the boat and couldn’t help but said: “It seems that you are a good oyster farmer, and the thieves are worried about it.”

 Li Mingli just finished speaking.

Li Duoyu hurried to the boat and cut several bunches of oysters. After loading two baskets, he moved them directly to the iron boat.

Li Mingli said seriously: "Director Li, this won't work. I will be criticized and educated by Secretary Chen when I go back."

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Then let's taste the oysters with Secretary Chen to see if these oysters are delicious. Maybe we can expand our town's farming business."

Li Mingli was stunned.

It was the first time he saw someone take giving gifts so seriously.

"Okay, then we will accept it. Secretary Chen must taste it carefully when the time comes. Let's go."

Before leaving, Li Duoyu hurriedly warned: "When steaming oysters, remember not to steam them for too long. They will not taste good when they are old. They will taste better if they are dipped in garlic sauce."

Liu Yun and Xie Daqing on the iron boat, seeing that Li Duoyu had such a good relationship with the police station chief, they all looked at Xiao Weidong hatefully.

“Xiao Weidong, my uncle, your village director has such a good relationship with the police station director, why wouldn’t you have said it earlier?”

 “How do I know.”

Liu Yun and Xie Daqing felt that they had been cheated by this guy. If they had known that Li Duoyu had such a strong background, they would not have dared to steal his oysters even if they had a hundred courages.

After the iron boat left, Xiao Weidong's parents saw that Li Duoyu had such a good relationship with Director Li, so they walked towards him.

Before they could speak, Li Duoyu took the lead and said, "I can't help it, so don't beg me. Besides, as the village director, I can't give you such a start."

The nearby villagers who were watching all echoed: "You stole our village director's oysters, and you still want the village director to intercede for you. Where's your face?"

“It’s the father’s fault if the son doesn’t teach. I understand such a simple truth. Your Xiao Weidong is where he is today because you are not used to it.”

“Village director, please don’t let Xiao Weidong go. That **** who beats his wife should go in and reflect.”

Although there are many men in the village, they often say "if a woman is not good, just give her a couple of beatings".

 But in the village, the number of people who had actually beaten women could be counted on one hand, and most of them had good reasons.

Xiao Weidong is the only gambler in the village who beats his wife for no reason. To be honest, everyone looks down on this kind of loser.

 Not long after.

 Everyone’s attention was focused on the fishing boat that Li Duoyu had captured.

"This boat is really new. Director Li, why don't you just detain the boat? I'm afraid they won't dare to come to our island to ask for it back."

“It would be best to confiscate it and treat it as an asset of the village committee. In this case, it can be rented out to everyone for use together.”

 “That’s a good idea.”

Zhang Guifen in the crowd didn't look very good when she saw everyone was thinking about this fishing boat, but she was embarrassed to tell everyone that her family had also invested in this fishing boat.

 Approximately one-tenth of the total.

I just didn’t expect that Liu Yun, a little bastard, would steal the boat out and use it to steal oysters.

What makes Zhang Guifen really angry is that shrimp fishing is obviously very profitable now, and the price of sea shrimp is much more expensive than oysters.

One pound of shrimp can be sold for 40 cents. After being dried, the shrimp can be sold for about one pound per pound.

His nephew, as long as he faithfully follows his parents to fish for shrimps, it will definitely not be a problem to make several thousand a year.

How come you are so out of your mind that you drive such an expensive fishing boat to steal other people's oysters?

After Zhang Guifen glanced at Duoyu, she wanted to say something, but she couldn't. After all, except for her, whose surname was Zhang, the rest of them were all surnamed Li. The entire family, including her husband and children, were obviously on Li Duoyu's side regarding this matter.

During this period, everyone was taken care of by Li Duoyu. The eldest son Li Shuguang also cooperated with Li Duoyu in the sea fishing business.

I also learned from him and raised kelp and oysters, and now the whole family is very confident.

 She didn't want to make both parties unhappy because of Liu Yun's incident.

Zhang Guifen sighed, no matter what happened, Liu Yun was really spoiled by his parents.

 Speaking of which, this matter was really thanks to Li Duoyu. If this happened in other villages, if someone was not beaten to death, one or two hands would probably have to be removed.

People safe is good.

 At least their family has tried their best on this matter.

When Li Duoyu saw so many people gathered at the pier, he simply shouted with a loudspeaker: "Fellow folks, do you want to pry oysters? I have a lot of oysters to pry here."

 “How much is it, how do you calculate it?”

 “It’s cheap, we won’t pry.”

Although everyone has a tough talk, they all like to work for Li Duoyu, because the wages he pays are quite high, and he is easy to talk to. Unless he encounters something particularly excessive, he will not deduct other people's wages at will.

“The salary will definitely not be low, but I have requirements.”

Li Duoyu picked up a palm-sized oyster on the spot and demonstrated it in front of everyone.

“Each of our oysters is as big as a palm, and the price is relatively expensive, so you have to be careful when prying the oysters, so as not to break them, and the oyster column must be pried clean.”

Those who planned to pry the oysters said one after another: "The requirements are so high, so we must pay more."

"No problem. If you pry well, the wages for one hundred catties will be 40 cents. If you don't pry well, the wages for one hundred catties will be only 30 cents."

Hearing that it cost 40 cents to pry 100 kilograms of oysters, the group of women on the pier who often pried oysters rushed to sign up on the spot.

 “I’ll sign up for one.”

“Village director, I am very good at prying oysters. Your mother and I have been doing this for more than ten years. I promise to remove all the oysters for you.”

Liu Xiaolan said to Chen Wenchao on the side: "Hurry up and tell Brother Yu that my mother and I will also sign up."

Chen Wenchao grinned and said, "No, I'll arrange it for you directly."

Liu Xiaolan smiled and said: "Okay, that's great. I can make my own decisions on some things."

Chen Wenchao scratched his head and said awkwardly: "Some time ago, I asked Brother Yu about all the big and small things, but he got scolded by him."

 After hearing this.

Liu Xiaolan was very happy, but frowned and said: "You don't have to report other small things to Brother Yu, but things related to us, especially those involving money, you must tell Brother Yu, do you know?"

Zhu Xiuhua, who originally wanted to dig a pond after seeing the excitement, was immediately excited when she heard that one hundred pounds was worth four cents.

 She dug a pond there, and Li Yaoguo and two others worked hard all day for only four yuan.

She is also very good at prying oysters. As long as she is willing, it is definitely not a problem to pry a thousand kilograms a day.

If Li Yaoguo helps there, he can earn six yuan a day in total. If he works continuously for a month, plus Li Yaoguo's accountant's salary.

Then there are two hundred and two. In this case, all the money lost by investing in abalone some time ago will be earned back.

But when Zhu Xiuhua took the basket and went to the fishing boat to collect oysters, Lao Li had no intention of giving them to her.

“If you don’t dig a pond, what are you doing here?”

 “The wages here are high.”

Lao Li couldn't help but preach: "That's what you are like. You always like to take advantage of small things. Wherever you see more money, you will run there. Look at those who dig ponds for us. Some people give up because the wages here are high. Are you working here?"

Zhu Xiuhua suddenly felt aggrieved: "But I have been doing physical work and feel stronger and stronger. These days, I can barely fit in the clothes at home."

 After hearing this, Li Duoyu and Lao Li looked at each other.

Li Duoyu really didn’t expect that his second sister-in-law would also have body anxiety.
