1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

 In fact, the organization gives quite a lot of money every time. If you don’t want to be greedy, as long as the money is in place, it will be really easy to get things done.

 Except for the initial hiccup, the entire Xiasha Village sanitation project progressed very smoothly.

Since the time given by the boss was quite tight, Li Duoyu contacted Master Cao, who specializes in building houses in Xiasha Village, on the same day.

 After learning that Li Duoyu asked him to build a public toilet, Master Cao refused at first.

 He ​​has been building houses for so many years, but he has never built a toilet. He feels that this thing is unclean and will affect his reputation.

It turns out that the budget for each public toilet is 700 yuan. He was a little concerned about building public toilets at first, but he immediately agreed and promised to get two public toilets for him before the year.

As for the remaining two public toilets, Li Duoyu originally wanted to find Chen Daqing from Chenjia Village, but the price offered by this guy was too expensive.

 The price for each one is 900 yuan.

 The budget was exceeded by two hundred yuan, which was completely unacceptable to the village committee, which was not already well-off.

 Fortunately, Secretary Chen was also very helpful. He was just talking about it casually, but unexpectedly, he actually found two teams to build a house for him.

 If three teams work together to build it, they will be able to build a public toilet years ago.

Xiasha Village is undergoing a lot of construction. When Chenjia Village next door heard the news, everyone looked envious.

Some people came over specifically to see their village building a public toilet, and even shouted to Li Duoyu: "Director Li, please build a public toilet for our village too."

 The people from Xiasha Village replied.

 “What you think is beautiful.”

 After the reconciliation between the two villages, and after more than a month of contact, Chenjiacun finally realized that the economic gap between the two villages was too great.

And their village is on the other side of Shangfeng Town, just like a small transparent village. What is most embarrassing for Chenjia Village is that.

Every time when they go to town to catch the polder, people ask them where they are from, and they usually answer Dandan Island.

The other party immediately blurted out: "You are from Xiasha Village on Dandan Island, the kelp and oysters raised in your village are very good, and your young village director is really good."

 Every time they say that they are from Chenjia Village on Dandan Island, the other party will always act surprised.

“It turns out there is another village on Dandan Island.”

 Every time this happens, the people of Chenjia Village feel embarrassed and helpless.

 For this matter, the village cadres and the board of directors of Chenjia Village jointly held a meeting. They felt that it was very necessary to spread the reputation of the village and let everyone know that Dandan Island is not only Xiasha Village, but also Chenjia Village.

 But if you want to build a reputation, the best way is to develop industry, fishing industry. In a short period of time, the people of Chenjia Village will definitely not be able to compare with Xiasha Village.

Hence, the village cadres and the board of directors of Chenjia Village wanted to overtake others in a corner and decided to mobilize the efforts of the whole village to vigorously develop the breeding industry.

 Start with kelp farming. Chen Atai, who was previously unpopular in Chenjia Village, is now surrounded by village cadres every day, asking him about various technical issues in kelp farming.

 Chen Atai, whose breeding skills were only half-full, did not dare to teach them easily, so he had to sacrifice Li Duoyu.

In order to revitalize Chenjiacun, the village cadres of Chenjiacun, under the guise of Li Duoyu, half of the Chen family, came directly to consult on kelp farming technology.

 But it happened to be the time when Li Duoyu was busiest, so Li Duoyu directly handed them over to his uncle Chen Dongqing.

In the Lianjiang County Fisheries Research Institute, Chen Dongqing, who originally planned to be lazy and enjoy the Spring Festival, was entangled by a group of old men.

"Dongqing, after you went to Xiasha Village when you were a child, you rarely returned to the village. I am your uncle, do you remember?"

“Dongqing, you are a serious member of the Chen family. Now that our village’s economy is so bad, you need some help.”

 When Chen Dongqing learned that Li Duoyu had sold him out, he was so angry in the office that he cursed him hundreds of times.

“Duoyu, you are an immoral creature. It’s almost the New Year, but you still don’t let anyone have a good rest.”

After finishing the construction of public toilets and garbage collection, Li Duoyu immediately shifted his focus to making money.

Because the Chinese New Year will be coming in half a month, Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao became village rats again.

As early as a month ago, Li Duoyu asked Chen Wenchao to temporarily keep all the live fish caught at sea in the cages of the fishing rafts, intending to sell them at a good price during the Chinese New Year.

 But because Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao made a lot of money by temporarily raising marine fish last year, many fishermen followed suit this year and set up fishing raft cages to work as rat colonies. Everyone is waiting for the madness in the last few days.

After seeing everyone starting to stock up, Li Duoyu realized something was wrong and secretly changed his strategy. He did not want cheap sea fish and specialized in stocking up on various expensive sea fish and swimming crabs.

Due to the migration of swimming crabs, on New Year’s Eve, they could not catch swimming crabs at all in this area.

At the moment, only he can stock up on things like swimming crabs, and other fishermen cannot stock up on them even if they have fishing rafts.

 Because swimming crabs not only love to fight, they also have relatively high environmental requirements for breeding. An indoor breeding pond is required, and the breeding pond that Li Duoyu originally used to breed eel fry just happened to be empty, and it can be converted into a temporary breeding pond for swimming crabs.

 In previous lives, there were many farmers here in Lianjiang County who would temporarily raise live swimming crabs before the fishing moratorium.

 When the fishing moratorium comes, no one can go out to sea to catch crabs, and then sell the swimming crabs that are temporarily raised at a high price.

There is a farmer on their island who has earned a house in the city by temporarily raising swimming crabs in two years.

Li Duoyu learned this breeding method from him. First, a thick layer of sea sand must be laid in the breeding pond to simulate the living environment of swimming crabs, then clean seawater is poured into the breeding pond, and some miscellaneous materials are fed regularly. Fish or clams.

The swimming crabs raised temporarily in this way are all big and fat. When it comes to New Year's Eve, no one else has swimming crabs, but he only has them. It's exciting to think about it.

 At a time when things will become more expensive when they are scarce, he will have the final say on the price of swimming crabs.

These swimming crab temporary cultivation techniques are only superficial, and there are some details that Li Duoyu didn't even tell Chen Wenchao.

Li Duoyu has always been very generous about farming techniques that are easy to learn and that everyone will master sooner or later. If someone comes to ask, he will teach them directly.

But like the eel breeding technology and swimming crab temporary cultivation technology, even if the other party wanted to spend money to learn it, Li Duoyu had no intention of teaching them.

 The reason is also very simple. If you want to stay far ahead, you must firmly master the core technology.

 Otherwise, when the time comes to roll it up, he himself will probably be beaten with bruises and bruises.

Ever since fishermen were treated as farm rats, the fishmongers on Dandan Island began to complain incessantly.

When Old Man Mi saw Li Duoyu, he couldn't help complaining: "It's all your fault for getting started last year. This year, everyone has imitated you, and I can't even catch any fish."

“Last year at this time, I could receive more than 500 catties of fish a day, but today I don’t even get 200 catties.”

Li Duoyu smiled: "Lao Mi, you can't rely on me for this. You can stock up early."

 Old man Mi was instantly awakened and murmured to himself: "Yes, others are hoarding, why don't I hoard."

 Uncle Zhuang, who was also unable to receive seafood, was helpless. He felt that the seafood business this year was a bit difficult, so he could only say to Li Duoyu:

“There are many fish. In the days at the end of the year, can you feed me some of the swimming crabs you raise?”

 Old man Mi quickly said: "Duoyu, we have been cooperating for so long, please leave some for me."

“Yes, but the price is a bit expensive, so you have to be mentally prepared.”

Old man Mi smiled and said, "No problem, as long as it doesn't exceed fifty cents per pound, we can accept it."

 “That shouldn’t happen.”

 Under normal circumstances, the retail price of swimming crabs is around 20 cents, and the purchase price at the dock is generally more than 10 cents.

Li Duoyu plans to raise the purchase price to RMB 40 this time, directly targeting the large yellow croaker.

 After all, this is not a planned economy. When the quantity is large, buyers have the final say on the price. But when there is no quantity, it is a seller's market.

　　When I think of the swimming crabs in those ten ponds, they sell for 40 cents per pound.

Hehehehe!

 In addition, the red snapper, rice fish and various groupers temporarily raised in the fishing raft should have a happy year this year.

Seeing Li Duoyu's evil grin, Old Man Mi said with a dark face: "Wipe your saliva quickly, it's almost flowing down."

Hearing what Old Man Mi said, Li Duoyu wiped his mouth subconsciously and smiled awkwardly: "I'm out of character, I'm out of character."

 Old man Mi couldn't help but cursed: "You're a profiteer."

As the Chinese New Year approaches, Chen Huiying has been waiting for the postman at the pier. The Chinese New Year is almost here this year.

 I haven’t received Xiaorong’s telegram yet. In previous years, Xiaorong would give half a month’s notice in advance.

Today, as usual, Chen Huiying was waiting for the postman in green clothes at the pier.

This time, she finally arrived. When the postman saw her, he immediately said, "Aunt Huiying, there is a telegram from your Li Duoyu. Would you like to help take it back?"

 “There are many fish.”

Chen Huiying frowned slightly. Xiaorong used to send it directly to her and Lao Li, so it shouldn't be possible to send it to Duoyu.

“I’m illiterate. Can I ask where this telegram came from? Is it from the Shanghai Stock Exchange?”

The postman picked up the telegram, looked at it, and said with a smile: "Auntie, it's not from Shanghai, it's from Rongcheng."

 “Ah, it’s not from Xiaorong.” (End of this chapter)
