1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 219 Oysters are on sale

Under the illumination of the garden lamp, which was not particularly bright, the Li family sat on the Eight Immortals table and had dinner.

Li Haoran broke open a cooked oyster and drank all the soup inside.

“Uncle, the oysters you raise are really delicious.”

Li Duoyu touched his head.

 “You little sycophant.”

Second sister-in-law Zhu Xiuhua had her old habit again and said involuntarily: "Haoran, which one do you think is better between the oysters raised by your grandpa and the oysters raised by your uncle?"

 After hearing this, Chen Huiying glared at Zhu Xiuhua. This daughter-in-law was really capable of stirring up trouble.

Li Haoran, who was eating oysters, said with a smile: "Both are delicious. Grandpa's oysters taste like grandpa, and uncle's oysters taste like uncle."

 Hearing Xiaopangdun’s answer.

 Everyone laughed instantly, and Lao Li couldn't help asking: "Haoran, what does grandpa taste like?"

 “The smell hurts me.”

Zhou Xiaoying, who was holding the little Tutu, couldn't help but said: "Haoran, what you said today is quite good."

 “It’s all taught well by my aunt.”

"Hahaha."

Chen Huiying sighed: "If your mother's mouth was half as good as yours, our Li family would have peace in the world."

This meal.

Li Duoyu was quite satisfied with the meal. He preferred this kind of ordinary family dinner to the ostentatious big fish and meat in the restaurant.

There are not many people here, and everything is home-cooked.

 After dinner, have a few sips of wine with my father and second brother, and talk about some topics that are of interest to men.

While they were drinking and chatting, Old Man Mi and Uncle Zhuang came over one after another.

 After seeing guests coming.

 Lao Li hurriedly said: "Huiying, add two more sets of bowls and chopsticks and stir-fry two side dishes."

After taking a sip of wine, Mr. Mi said directly: "Duoyu, your variety of oysters is really easy to sell. I went to Rongcheng Pier to pry a few oysters and put them there. Within an hour, they were all bought. Empty."

Uncle Zhuang also said: "Lao Mi is right, these oysters are indeed very popular. I put them in Liangyu's seafood shop, and they were all sold out in the morning."

Old man Mi then said: "Tomorrow, I want to order a thousand catties. Do you think it's okay?"

 Hearing that Duoyu's oysters were selling well, the stone hanging in Lao Li's heart suddenly fell to the ground.

I heard someone say before that a manager of a state-owned enterprise came to Duoyu, but in the end they couldn't reach an agreement. During this time, he has been worried that Duoyu's oysters are not easy to sell.

"sure, no problem."

Old man Mi thought he wouldn't be able to get a share of the pie, but he didn't expect that Manager An and Li Duoyu couldn't reach an agreement.

However, Li Duoyu’s conditions are indeed very strange. When they sell his oysters, they must say that they are oysters from Minlong Food of Dandan Island.

Uncle Zhuang thought about it and said, "The volume over there is small, so I plan to buy 500 kilograms of it first, and then I'll get it from you after it's sold out."

Zhu Xiuhua, who was behind the door, heard their chat and hurried back to the bedroom to take out a small iron box, put the big unity card she earned today into it, and carefully counted the money in it.

 After finishing counting, Zhu Xiuhua called Li Yaoguo, who was drinking outside, into the room.

“Yao Guo, did Mr. Mi and Uncle Zhuang say just now that oysters with lots of fish sell well?”

 Li Yaoguo nodded.

Zhu Xiuhua said seriously: "I just counted our family's money. The money we got back from investing in abalone before, plus the money we made in the past three months, totaled 395 yuan. We didn't say there were many fish before, but oysters Will the land be contracted to us for 100 yuan per mu? This time I plan to contract four acres of oyster fields."

Li Yaoguo agreed: "Okay, but this matter is not urgent. You can talk to Duoyu after Old Man Mi and Uncle Zhuang leave, otherwise they might also want to contract."

Zhu Xiuhua rolled her eyes at him.

 “I still understand this.”

After Old Man Mi and Uncle Zhuang left, Zhu Xiuhua happily found Li Duoyu and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, didn't you tell us about the contracting of oysters to us before? Today I discussed it with Yaoguo and planned to ask you Contracted four acres of two-year-old oysters.”

 “Sure, you’re welcome to contract.” Li Duoyu smiled.

"Then I'll give you three hundred and ninety dollars first. I owe you ten yuan, and then you can deduct it when you pay us two wages." Seeing the three hundred and ninety-nine dollars handed over by the second sister-in-law, Li Duoyu frowned and said: " The contracting fee for two-year-old oysters per acre is 200, and for 4 acres, it is 800.”

 The smile on Zhu Xiuhua's face disappeared instantly: "When you told us before, it was not 100 yuan. Why did it suddenly change to 200 yuan?"

Li Duoyu said seriously: "It's different. The oysters before were not so big. Now I have been raising them for another six or seven months. Should I charge more money?"

"We can't charge so much. If we contract at your price, you will have made all the money. How much money will I make? It's cheaper, maybe one hundred and twenty."

Li Duoyu is decisive.

"No, I can't even come back. For the sake of my second brother, the minimum is one hundred and eighty."

Zhu Xiuhua turned around and left angrily. After returning to the bedroom, she slammed the door and kept cursing:

“Your brother is really picky. No wonder some people call him an iron **** and a tough guy.”

Seeing Zhu Xiuhua like this, Li Yaoguo asked in a low voice: "Isn't the negotiation concluded?"

“Your brother wants to contract us for one hundred and eighty-year-old oysters per acre. How could I be so stupid as to work for him for nothing?”

Li Yaoguo smiled awkwardly. Duoyu did give them a chance at the beginning, but unfortunately they didn't take it. However, he heard it when he was drinking with Old Man Mi and Uncle Zhuang just now.

An acre of oyster fields with many fish can probably be sold for more than 300 yuan. Even if it is contracted for 180 yuan, as long as there is no typhoon, it is still a huge profit.

 “One hundred and eighty, just one hundred and eighty.”

"I do not want it."

Zhu Xiuhua suddenly remembered something and asked Li Yaoguo: "When Duoyu asked Dad to help raise oysters, did he give Dad more than ten acres of oyster fields?"

 “It seems that there is such a thing.” Li Yaoguo replied.

Zhu Xiuhua’s eyes widened and she said, “In that case, we can contract it directly with my father, and he might be able to contract it for us cheaper.”

Li Yaoguo frowned: "I can't say this. If you really want to take over the contract, you can discuss it with dad yourself. I won't go anyway."

"Why are you so afraid of your father? You are so scared that you will die. I will go, and all the money I make will be mine."

 And this night.

 The skewers stall near Rongcheng Pier is doing very good business.

“Boss, do you still have those grilled oysters? Give me another dozen. Such big oysters are so delicious.”

 “Okay, I’ll bake it for you right away.”

“By the way, boss, where did you get these oysters? Why are they so big?”

“This oyster you are talking about is an oyster from Minlong Company in Dandan Island. I heard it seems to be a new variety developed by the Lianjiang County Fisheries Research Institute. It takes three years to grow to this size.”

“People from Dandan Island, I seem to have eaten the kelp from their island this year and it was very delicious.”

“Boss, if you buy more goods from Dandan Island in the future, we will come to your stall to have barbecue.”

"sure, no problem."

When Old Man Mi was selling oysters today, An Yuliang and Lin Haiqing happened to be collecting fish at the dock. After seeing those big oysters, the two of them instantly knew whose family they belonged to.

 The two of them were now sitting at a small table and ordered ten grilled oysters and ten steamed oysters. Several bottles of beer were also placed on the table.

An Yuliang took a few bites of oysters and asked, "What did the leader say after the report was submitted?"

Lin Haiqing sighed: "What can I say? I think the batch of oysters from Dandan Island is too small and insignificant."

“Even if people don’t go through us, they still sell very well. It seems that our company will miss out on this big customer, Director Li.”

An Yuliang glanced at Xiao Lin and suddenly sighed: "In the future, if you have the opportunity to climb up there, don't think about big projects all day long. You will miss a lot of development opportunities."

“Manager, are you very optimistic about this Li Duoyu?”

An Yuliang said with a serious face: "I don't know why, but from the moment I saw him, I felt that this person was not simple."

 At this time.

There was a young man wearing fashionable clothes on the side and asked the two of them: "Did you just talk about Li Duoyu?"

 “Are these oysters his?”
