1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 237: Catching eel fry, Balangyu jumps off the ship

 Fishing is fun.

 But fishing is very boring.

 In this era of very good fishery resources, exploding nets is a common occurrence.

Even if a net is harvested with hundreds of eel fry, it doesn’t make Li Duoyu excited.

 In my previous life, when the eel fry season came, sometimes I could catch only four or five fish for a whole day. Sometimes, if I was unlucky, I would have to lose all my gas money for the day.

 But at that time, everyone was very willing to catch eels, because catching eel fry was like opening a blind box. It was never easy to predict how many eels you would catch in the next net.

 Some people were from the Air Force in the first net, but only caught hundreds of eel fry in the next net. It is this uncertainty that makes everyone more motivated.

 The eel fry season on Dandan Island is as long as a quarter.

 Once the season comes, the fishing boats near Dandan Island, whether large or small, will join the sea army fishing for eel fry.

Those who do not have fishing boats will also place nets specially designed to catch eel fry on the shore, at the estuary and other places where eel fry are found.

 Whenever the seafood harvest is poor in winter, the appearance of eel fry will bring a lot of income to coastal fishermen.

 Fished at the estuary for more than seven hours.

 Just as they were preparing to go back.

A sampan boat drove towards Li Duoyu and the others, blocked their way, and shouted through a loudspeaker: "Stop the boat and accept inspection."

 Chen Wenchao became nervous immediately, holding a fish-killing knife tightly in his hand.

"do not worry."

Li Duoyu did not escape by boat, but waited for the fishing boat to approach. Unexpectedly, it was the two fishermen who drove them away here last time.

 One was carrying a gun, and judging from the situation, he should be from the militia company. The other was a young man, Li Duoyu, whom they had met last time.

When the young man saw Li Duoyu and the others, he couldn't help but sigh: "Why are you two again? Didn't I tell you last time not to come fishing here again?"

Li Duoyu greeted him with a smile, quickly handed over two cigarettes, struck a match, and lit a cigarette for the other party: "Long time no see."

The young man held his cigarette and sighed:

“I really don’t want to see you again. Last time, the fishmonger in my village told me that you caught a lot of valuable fish in our place that day. When our village director found out, he even scolded me.”

Li Duoyu smiled and found that the fish selling circle was really small. If there was any slight disturbance, everyone would know about it.

 “It was just good luck that time.”

The young man frowned and looked at Li Duoyu's fishing boat: "What good things did we catch here again this time?"

Li Duoyu looked harmless: "I didn't catch anything, just some dragonhead fish and some small transparent fish."

The young man didn't believe it, so he jumped directly onto Li Duoyu's fishing boat and checked it out, and found that he really didn't catch any valuable fish.

 It is indeed all tofu fish, some miscellaneous shrimps and a bucket of small transparent fish. This kind of small fish is quite common this season.

But this kind of small fish is not delicious. After everyone catches it, they usually throw it away. What is this person doing with so many of them?

 “What are you doing catching such a transparent fish?”

Li Duoyuhu gave an excuse: "I didn't do anything, it's just that my chickens and ducks really like to eat this kind of small fish, and I plan to catch some for them to eat as feed."

The young man was speechless: "Whether you are raising golden chickens or silver ducks, you have to catch this kind of small fish for them to eat."

Li Duoyu smiled: "The weather has become cold recently, and there are not many fish to catch. So I just opened the boat, otherwise it would be left in the port, and within two days it would be covered with barnacles."

The young man agreed: "Yes, if the boat is not sailing, it is indeed very easy to break. My family's sampan boat is particularly attracted by barnacles. If it is not cleaned every month, it will consume a lot of fuel."

 After the young man finished speaking, he suddenly changed the subject: "I remember you guys are from Xiasha Village, right?"

"That's right, we are from Xiasha Village." The young man scratched his head and said, "I heard that the village director of your village is very good at raising kelp. Can you tell me about it? Our village has also grown more than 300 acres of kelp this year. , even though I went to the county seat to attend classes several times, I still felt like I still didn’t understand some things.”

After hearing this, Chen Wenchao became proud and just said a few words: "He is us"

But before Chen Wenchao finished speaking, Li Duoyu waved his hand at him, asking him to swallow the next words.

Li Duoyu narrowed his eyes and said, "I don't understand. You can ask the researcher who specializes in kelp farming. He should be able to tell you."

The young man said helplessly: "We have asked several times, but there have been too many people looking for him recently, and he has no time to pay attention to us. He also said that if we want to raise kelp well, it is best for us to go to the village director of Xiasha Village. "

 Li Duoyu thought about it for a while.

This is not like my uncle's style. In the past, whenever a fisherman asked him about kelp farming, he would immediately become a teacher, eager to teach the other person step by step.

　　Why did it suddenly change?

Li Duoyu thinks that it is most likely related to the "seedling farm". The current Fisheries Research Institute no longer provides free seedlings to fishermen.

 No matter how many new varieties they develop, the ones who will ultimately benefit are the “seeding farms” that are just making money.

Picking peaches so blatantly will inevitably make people feel resentful. Li Duoyu felt that if this matter were left to him, he would probably be ruined on the spot.

Looking at this situation, my uncle is deliberately trying to attract farmers to him, presumably because he wants him to consolidate resources.

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll introduce it to you when the time comes. We'll catch some transparent fish here these days, no problem."

The young man smiled and said: "As long as you don't put out sticky nets and bottom trawl nets, and just catch these fish, of course there will be no problem."

“Okay, let’s go back first and say hello to our village director to see when he is free.”

“Thank you, brother. If you come back to fish in two days, I will come back and ask you.”

"sure, no problem."

Li Duoyu took a second look before leaving. The young man suddenly asked: "May I ask, is your surname Tang?"

 “Ah, how do you know?”

Li Duoyu smiled: "Haha, I heard it from the nearby fishermen too."

The young man scratched his head and suddenly felt that it was more honorable for someone to recognize him, so his tone became much softer: "Come here often when you have time."

Li Duoyu really didn’t expect that the young man in front of him should be the old Tang who told him about the fishing spots for bass slide, yellow lip fish and three saury in later generations.

He looked familiar to me before, but unfortunately I didn't recognize him.

If I remember correctly, this man will become Dandan Island’s son-in-law in two years’ time, and he seems to be marrying Lao Lu’s second daughter.

Li Duoyu drove the sampan back to Dandan Island, but he was not close to the dock yet.

 Meet a school of Balang fish.

 A large number of frightened Balang fish are flying on the sea surface.

When passing by their fishing boat, they didn’t even know how to go around it. Instead, they jumped out of the sea and tried to jump over their sampan boat.

Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao were also stunned. Balangyu jumped onto their fishing boat like rain.

Since they were rushing very fast and the collision was quite painful, Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao used things to protect their main parts.

 It doesn’t take a while.

Their fishing boat was covered with a whole layer of Balang fish. Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao looked at each other before they could react.

 I heard several familiar sounds, and then, a large bubble exploded next to the sampan.

I was finally discharged from the hospital, and something more than twenty centimeters was stuffed into my body. It was torture!
