1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 278: My hands are itchy and I want to cook

 “Jialu, get up quickly, what are you still doing sitting there?”

 At Director Wu's warm invitation, Li Duoyu reluctantly followed him to the box next door.

 After a quick glance, I found that although I didn’t recognize most of them, they should all be well-known people in the city.

 It's just that everyone's face was red, and it seemed that they had drunk a lot of wine before he came.

Director Wu burped: "You don't need to introduce me to this one. The old Zhao family is from the same courtyard. Everyone should know each other."

“I know him, of course I know him. He was the most naughty person when I was young.”

Zhao Jialu was dissatisfied and said: "What's the skinniest thing? Sun Maoxiang and the others have more skin than me, okay?"

Director Wu then introduced: "Today I would like to introduce to you, this is the village director of Dandan Island, Li Duoyu."

A drunken middle-aged man said: Mr. Wu, a small village director, what can I introduce to you? Which young man should I introduce? "

Director Wu glared at him:

“You know Hammer, this is our leader’s famous figure. In the leader’s mind, your status may not be as high as his.”

“You’re talking nonsense, the big leader is so busy every day, how can he have time to care about a village director?”

Seeing that his eldest brother was being looked down upon, Zhao Jialu scolded him on the spot: "You are a loser, the least capable, and the most pretentious."

“Fuck, if it weren’t for your father, believe it or not, I’d punch you away.”

 “Come on, you’re a dog if I don’t beat you.”

Director Wu smiled awkwardly. He did not expect that someone would be so disrespectful, so he hurriedly said to Li Duoyu:

“Duoyu, don’t be like this group of people. They are all people who have been influenced by their ancestors. If you drink too much, you won’t know how high the sky is. Come on, let me introduce you to a comrade.”

Director Wu brought Li Duoyu to a young man of similar age to him.

“This is the general manager of the Lianjiang County Aquatic Breeding Base, Lin Yi. You are also engaged in aquaculture. It is inevitable that you will have contact with him in the future. Let’s get to know him in advance.”

 Li Duoyu couldn't help but feel a little emotional after hearing about this company and this young man's name.

 Rongcheng is really small!

Not long ago, the person my uncle cursed every day, the person who would make the fishermen and farmers in Lianjiang County sleepless in the future, appeared in front of him like this.

Director Wu said: "Mr. Lin, this is the village director of Dandan Island, Li Duoyu, who first took the lead in kelp farming. If you get to know each other, you will be able to work better in the future."

Jin Yi glanced at Li Duoyu and said calmly: "Li Duoyu, is that right? I have written down this name. When you come to me to buy kelp seedlings and oyster seedlings in the future, I will give you a discount."

Li Duoyu also smiled.

Most of the children who grew up in this kind of yard are very arrogant.

 Being willing to say hello to a small village director like him is already a great honor to Director Wu.

Director Wu smiled and said: "That's right. You young people are easy to talk to. You should cooperate well and strive to make our city's aquaculture industry bigger and stronger."

 After speaking, Director Wu shook his head at Chen Jiao and said, "Mr. Chen, the wine in your store is not good today."

 After hearing this, Chen Jiao immediately reacted and whispered a few words in the waiter's ear.

Not long after, five or six bottles of liquor with the Feitian logo were placed on the dining table, along with a whole carton of imported Marlboro cigarettes.

Director Wu said with a smile: "Boss Chen's new store is opening today, so I will borrow flowers and offer them to Buddha. It's not easy for everyone to get together once, and we will have a lot of fun this time."

 “Come to Jialu, there are many fish, have a few drinks with these people and try to get them all drunk.”

 There was a moment of exchange of wine and smoke, and Chen Yuanyu’s expression was not very good when he saw this scene.

This is very different from the opening scene she expected. She planned to open a relatively quiet Japanese food store, but she did not expect that these people would be the same no matter what kind of store they were in.

Li Duoyu was very uncomfortable with such a banquet culture. After dealing with it casually for a few times, he ran away in the name of going to the toilet.

When leaving the box, Li Duoyu looked back. If he remembered correctly, from now on, this unique bureaucratic wine table culture will continue for at least thirty years.

 And their favorite liquor will also become the first in the country in the future.

When Li Duoyu returned to the door of his box, he happened to hear Li Xiuyun telling them about his glorious deeds during his inspection in the island country.

“Duoyu is amazing. None of us can learn Japanese well, but he learns it very quickly and can talk fluently with people from the island country.”

 “Also. He caught a very big fish.”

Zhou Xiaoying was surprised and said: "It's true or false. At that time, when he came back and told us, we all thought he was bragging."

"Really, our inspection team went to the auction site in person to see a big fish over two meters taller than a human being. The president of the last shipbuilding club also gave your husband a fishing boat. I didn't know it was delivered. No."

 Zhou Xiaoying replied: “Not yet.”

“Then it should be sent over with the inspection team.”

What Jiang Yuqin heard was Meimei Lianlian. It turned out that this brother-in-law was much more powerful than she imagined.

She glanced at Li Jinchuan and said angrily: "Your brother is so awesome, why didn't you tell me." Li Jinchuan didn't say a word the whole time, because he didn't know at all.

At this moment, he felt indescribably awkward. Duoyu was so powerful, so he should be happy, but why was he feeling uncomfortable instead.

Seeing that they were chatting so happily, Li Duoyu did not disturb them, but walked around the hall.

I found that the entire Japanese restaurant was full of people, and there was a queue at the conveyor belt sushi place. Some customers kept shouting:

 “Why are there so few rice balls? Can you ask the kitchen to cook them faster?”

 “The sushi is gone again.”

“Is the fried pork chop in VIP box No. 7 ready?”

A chef who specializes in frying things scolded: "Why do you have to fry all the pork chops? They can't even be fried."

 After walking around, Li Duoyu came to the kitchen by accident and found that all the chefs were as busy as dogs.

He used to work in this business, and he was most afraid of big rewards for new store openings and this kind of free self-service, which would kill people.

A chef wearing a high hat shouted to Li Duoyu: "Are you new here? You haven't changed your clothes yet. Hurry up and put on your bib and come over to help cut the fish fillets."

Li Duoyu was stunned for a few seconds, and the top-hat chef opened his mouth and cursed: "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Hurry up and work. Don't you see that we are all too busy?"

 After saying that, he threw a red ham on the chopping board in front of him: "Hurry up, fillet this fish, not too thin or too thick, you know."

 Li Duoyu is a little depressed.

 Do I look that much like a chef? He originally wanted to identify himself, but when he thought about going back, he might be asked by Director Wu to accompany him for drinks.

It's better to stay in the kitchen and work, at least this place is much more comfortable than the wine shop.

Li Duoyu put on an apron, took a handy fish knife, divided it into two parts, and in less than two minutes, he dismembered the red sweet carp in front of him.

And the fish heads and fish meat were neatly placed on a small wooden boat for sashimi.

 The assistant cook on the side, after seeing his sharp knife skills, couldn't help but ask: "Comrade, your knife skills are good, which unit were you a chef in before?"

Li Duoyu smiled.

 “I don’t have a unit, I’m just an ordinary fisherman.”

The cook said: "Fishermen, no wonder they kill fish so fast."

The top-hat chef who asked Li Duo to fillet the fish just now affirmed: "Okay, not bad, do a good job, and if you perform well, I will say a few good things to you in front of the boss."

Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly: "Thank you."

 After Li Duoyu came out, Chen Yuanyu came out not long after. She was also very uncomfortable with this wine table culture.

She came to the kitchen to check the situation. When she came in unexpectedly, she found Li Duoyu helping to cook.

She looked at Li Duoyu with a puzzled face: "Director Li, why are you here."

The chef wearing the top hat felt something was wrong and quickly asked: "Boss Chen, isn't he your new chef?"

 Chen Yuanyu said angrily but helplessly: "Director Li is our distinguished guest, and he provides half of the seafood in our store."

 “Ouch.”

The top-hatted chef slapped his forehead and was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a way to get in: "It's over, I just kept using him."

“Director Li, I’m so sorry, I thought you were our new chef.”

Li Duoyu smiled: "It's okay, don't mind. I also have itchy hands and want to cook something."

 Chen Yuanyou looked surprised: "I didn't expect you to be so proficient in Japanese food."

Li Duoyu said casually: "I used to like to be a chef. During the inspection tour last year, I learned a little from the local chefs."

“Can you give us some pointers to see what we didn’t do well?”

“I only have half a bucket of water, so I don’t dare to give you any advice.”

But Li Duoyu glanced at the raw fish and said seriously: "One thing you might want to pay attention to is that when you make sashimi, you must check the fish body carefully. Once you find that kind of slender worm, the whole fish will be destroyed." Throw it all away."

 Chen Yuanyu, who has studied in the island country for two years, naturally knew that Li Duoyu was talking about the parasite called Anisakis.

It would be really troublesome if there was such a thing. Chen Yuanyou said to the chefs: "Director Li said it, did you hear it?"

"heard it."
