1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 262 Good news, bad news

 The third day of feeding.

Li Duoyu released the black seedlings from the indoor breeding pond into the open-air pond.

 From now on, eels have entered a stage where it is relatively difficult to raise them, and there are more and more things to pay attention to.

After the eel arrived in the huge pond, it disappeared without a trace in an instant. Eels are nocturnal animals and usually hide in dark spots during the day.

 Eight impeller aerators placed in the pond were all started, causing water to splash in the pond.

This traditional aerator is very easy to use, and many farmers are still using it even in later generations.

The principle is also very simple, which is to stir the pool water through the impeller, so that the contact area between the water body and the air is increased, so that more oxygen in the air can be dissolved into the water body more effectively.

 For eel farming, an aerator is an indispensable piece of equipment, but what is more troublesome for Li Duoyu is the equipment.

 The power supply on Dandan Island is not very stable, and power outages often occur every three days.

In order to prevent the eels from dying due to lack of oxygen in the fish pond, Li Duoyu also spent a huge amount of money to purchase a diesel generator for emergencies.

 In fact, it does not cost much to dig a pond and build a factory. On the contrary, these machines and equipment account for two-thirds of the total investment cost.

 But once you think about it, the RMB will depreciate rapidly in the future, so it is not a loss to buy more hardware equipment now.

While Li Duoyu was inspecting the pond and reinforcing the pond, Chen Wenchao sent him a copy of yesterday's newspaper.

 “Brother Yu, you reported it again.”

 Report it?

Li Duoyu was startled for a moment. He wanted to get the newspaper, but his hands were covered with mud, so he asked, "What did the newspaper say?"

No reporters came to interview him in the past two days, so why was it reported to the newspaper?

 Chen Wenchao scratched his head in embarrassment: "Brother Yu, the total number of characters I know is less than thirty. I only saw your photo on it and I can't understand what is written on it."

 Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that Chen Wenchao was the key target of the literacy class.

His wife Zhou Xiaoying has also been complaining recently, saying that adults like them are too difficult to teach. They just finished teaching last week, and they will all forget it next week.

Li Duoyu is understandable. After all, after the golden learning period, he seems to learn everything slowly.

In his previous life, he learned how to use smartphones for only a month or two before he learned how to use several commonly used software. It took him a week or two to make a video call on WeChat.

As for hailing a taxi through software, he couldn’t learn it no matter how much his son taught him, and he could never find the right place to get on the bus.

 Fortunately, after being reborn, not only has my physical condition improved, but my mind has also become much brighter. Many things that I couldn't figure out at first can be figured out immediately.

Li Duoyu washed his hands, took the newspaper, glanced at the contents, and immediately guessed who had posted this report.

well!

I didn’t expect that I was still too young to be tricked by this woman, Chen Yuan Yuan.

I thought she was interested in the future of Dandan Island and the value of cooperation with me, but I didn’t expect it to be for him.

 This thousand and fifty dollars is worth it to Chen Yuanhua.

Not only did it win over the hearts of people on Dandan Island, but it also served as an advertisement for Xinyuan Aquatic Products Company, which was not a loss at all.

It seems that next time you discuss business with her, you should be more careful. This girl is not as silly and sweet as she seems on the surface.

Over at Dandan Island Primary School, Lin Shanshan took the newspaper and said, "Xiaoying, I really envy you. Your family's abundance of fish has been reported to the newspaper again."

 “Really, show me.”

After Zhou Xiaoying took the newspaper, she was quite happy reading it at the front. When she saw the words "Chen Yuan Yuan" at the back, her brows suddenly knitted together.

 “Your husband reported it to the police and you are not happy.”

Zhou Xiaoying said with a smile: "I'm happy, but he's been in newspapers all the time, so he's a little used to it."

“Xiaoying, your pretense is a bit too much. It’s almost making us jealous to death.”

 In the office, some female teachers who were not yet married couldn't help but said: "Xiaoying, are there any comrades like Li Duoyu? Please introduce one to us."

Zhou Xiaoying said with a hint of disgust: "What's good about him is that you don't know how bad he was before."

"If it's not good, then you can give it to us. We don't mind that he was married before."

Zhou Xiaoying glared and said: "You people, do you have the ethics of being a teacher? How can you teach and educate people like you?"

  A female teacher said: "If I had a rich husband like Li Duoyu, I would definitely not teach. I have to take so many classes a day. I am exhausted and my throat hurts like hell."

 “That’s right, that’s right.”

 At the eel farm.

As soon as Aniang brought them lunch, a starving man ran over.

“Sister, do you have my food? I haven’t had lunch yet.” Chen Huiying gave him a disgusted look:

“I didn’t tell you earlier when I came to the island. How did I know you were coming? Just wait for me to get off and I’ll pack some food for you when I get back.”

 “She is still the best sister to me.”

Chen Dongqing turned to Li Duoyu and said, "Duoyu, please tell me how you persuaded those old men."

Li Duoyu said casually: "I wish I could convince them. Everything is arranged by Mazu."

 Chen Dongqing smoked a cigarette: "Forget it, there is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

Li Duoyu rolled her eyes at him: "Don't be so childish, okay? If you have something to say, just say it directly and don't show off."

 “You really have no sense at all, kid.”

Chen Dongqing said with a dark face: "The cost for improving the sanitary environment of Dandan Island that I applied to you last time has been approved."

"How much?"

 “Almost five thousand like this.”

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "I didn't expect that the gift given this time would be quite large. I originally thought it would only be three or four thousand."

Chen Dongqing threw cold water and said: "You think the more you give, the better. The more you give, the greater your responsibility."

“If the superiors require that not a single flea or fly be seen on Dandan Island, otherwise they will hold you responsible and let’s see what you do.”

Li Duoyu joked: "If that's really the case, then we'd better stop the inspection team from coming."

 “It’s a beautiful idea. You think that talking about things with an organization is like bargaining at a wet market. Once a project is established, it must be implemented well.”

The second sister-in-law, who was eavesdropping on the side, couldn't help but ask Li Yaoguo: "Did my uncle tell me how much money has been allocated to our village from above? Can we get a share of the pie?"

“How much money it costs has nothing to do with us.”

Zhu Xiuhua glared: "I said, Li Yaoguo, your skin has been very itchy recently, haven't you? Can you speak properly?"

Seeing Zhu Xiuhua getting angry, Li Yaoguo held his stomach and said, "My stomach hurts. I'll go squat in the pit first."

After finishing the good news, Chen Dongqing continued: "Remember, didn't I tell you last time that the institute has established a new seedling company?"

  “Yes, I have said it.”

“The batch of abalone fry grown by Director Yang was originally intended for you, but unfortunately they took it away before the procedures were completed.”

"There is also the new batch of Zhanjiang white oyster seedlings that Director Zhang originally planned to sign a cooperation agreement with you. Now the ownership of the oyster seedlings has been transferred to that company."

Li Duoyu frowned: "So, you are all being ignored?"

Chen Dongqing took another puff of cigarette: "Isn't it right? After the nursery base was stripped away, all the people in the institute were destroyed."

 In fact, Li Duoyu is very familiar with the boss behind this nursery company.

 In the previous life, we had dealt with each other, and they could be said to be the true sea tyrants in Lianjiang County.

 At its peak, you can even control the price of seafood at will. If you want the price of swimming crabs to increase, the price will increase tomorrow.

If I remember correctly, this company made its first pot of gold by selling kelp seedlings, oyster seedlings, and clam seedlings at high prices through the seedling breeding base of the Fisheries Research Institute.

In the later period, we also cooperated with the Wang brothers and contracted a large number of sea areas. Anyone who engages in breeding in the sea areas contracted by them must purchase seedlings from their nursery company.

Also, if you fish in the waters contracted by them, you will have to pay a so-called breeding compensation fee every year.

 In short, they are trying every means to make money from fishermen, which has caused complaints among farmers throughout Lianjiang County.

But at that time, due to some special relationships, the fishermen along the coast had nothing to do with them. It was not until the protective umbrella behind them fell that they were uprooted.

 When it comes to this company, my uncle Chen Dongqing feels very resentful.

"Duoyu, you are so capable now, how about we build a nursery base ourselves, and the technology will be provided by us, what do you think?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "You are so tough. You are not afraid of the people behind them. I have prepared dozens of pairs of small shoes for you to wear."

“I’m afraid of a hammer. At worst, I’ll quit. Now I’m not in the mood to go to work. Why should someone pick peaches for the results of my hard work?”

Li Duoyu looked at Chen Dongqing in confusion, never expecting that his uncle had such an angry side.

 Actually, it is not impossible for Li Duoyu to defeat them, but even if he defeats a Zhang San, there may still be Li Si and Zhang Wu waiting in line behind him.

After all, as long as the cake is placed here, there will be a steady stream of domestic "rats" coming to eat it.

To be honest, Li Duoyu really wants to join them. After all, everyone likes to make money while lying down.

 But after being reborn, it would be a bit unethical to do such a thing.

 But if you choose to fight, you must be fully prepared. At least Li Duoyu feels that now is not the time to conflict with them, and you have to wait for a suitable time.
