1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 299 Newborn calves are not afraid of the sea

“Why did Director Li come to my house when he was free?”

“Come in and sit down, I’ll make tea for you.”

 Seeing Li Duoyu, Liu Xiuzhu smiled. At first, she was not very optimistic about this young man, but now she appreciates him very much.

After Li Duoyu arrived at Director Liu's house, he looked at the bare-walled house in front of him and was a little dazed.

I have heard before that Director Liu’s family’s economic conditions are not very good, and they are poorer than the people half way over, but I didn’t expect it to be so bad. There is not even a single decent piece of furniture in the whole house.

The light bulbs are also of the lowest wattage, and the room looks very dim. The only thing that is brighter is the certificates of honor and awards on the entire wall.

As for her position, the more awards she received, the less popular she became. Privately, the children in the village called her an old witch.

The adults in the village often tell the children that if you don’t behave, you will be captured by the old witch Liu Xiuzhu.

Since she often led a team to poke the tiles of other people's houses, and also arrested and aborted people, naturally some people held grudges, and the tiles of her house were all full of holes.

One time when she was sleeping in the middle of the night, a large stone broke the tiles on her roof, and the falling fragments also hit her family members.

 As a result, her family had a big quarrel with her, and the children moved out one after another. It was not until recently that the eldest daughter-in-law became pregnant, and she persuaded them to come back and live together so that they could take care of her.

Seeing Li Duoyu coming with an unfamiliar face, Liu Xiuzhu hurriedly asked: "Director Li, who is this?"

 “He is my brother-in-law.”

 Zhang Mingsheng said quickly: "Hello, Director Liu."

“Shui Hua’s husband.” Liu Xiuzhu opened a drawer, took out a small notebook, flipped through a few pages and said:

"Zhang Mingsheng, right? He married Shuihua in 1979, had his first child, a daughter, in 1980, and his second child, a daughter, in 1982."

Li Duoyu and Zhang Mingsheng looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Depending on the situation, Li Shuihua was Liu Xiuzhu's focus.

 And bring people to the back.

 Li Duoyu looked at his watch and suddenly said: "Director Liu, I suddenly have something to do and I have to go to the village committee first."

Liu Xiuzhu said in surprise: "Ah, I just came here, let's make tea before leaving."

“No, I have to go to the village committee.”

After Li Duoyu finished speaking, he stood up and left directly. Zhang Mingsheng did not follow him, but looked at Liu Xiuzhu with an awkward smile.

Liu Xiuzhu frowned and probably guessed why this person was looking for him.

 Actually, many people in the village approached her privately, but she rejected them all. If it had been before, she would have started to chase them away.

 But this time it was different. It was Li Duoyu who brought the person here, so he still had to give him some face.

 Plus her daughter-in-law is pregnant, so she doesn’t want to get into trouble: “Let’s talk about it.”

"Is such that."

 “Director Liu”

Li Duoyu just came out of Liu Xiuzhu's house. Lao Li, who was guarding the roadside, asked slightly angrily: "You didn't take the initiative to say anything?"

 Li Duoyu nodded: "No, I just brought people there."

"That's good."

Lao Li said seriously: "If this can be done, take away that color TV quickly, otherwise there will be too many people watching TV, and your sister will definitely not be able to hide it. If Director Liu refuses, let your sister do it tonight." Go right away, wherever you need to go.”

Li Duoyu nodded, naturally understanding what his father meant. If Director Liu refused, and the brother-in-law went to find her like this, he could probably guess his sister's situation.

"I'm waiting for Mingsheng here. You can go about your own business. Anyway, you don't want to get involved in this next thing."

 Seeing Dad’s resolute attitude.

Li Duoyu also knew that his father was worried about him, but he had done his best in this matter. At this point, it was fine.

on the way home.

Li Duoyu noticed that the lights of the eel factory were still on, so he stopped by to take a look.

 Liu Xiaolan is not here tonight.

 There was only one person, Chen Wenchao, who was sifting fish meal over there, having learned the lesson from last time.

Now every time Chen Wenchao makes fishmeal, he passes it through a 100-mesh sieve. After confirming that the fishmeal meets the standard, he puts it into a mixer and mixes it with the flour.     After seeing Li Duoyu coming.

Chen Wenchao hurriedly said hello: "Brother Yu."

“Xiaochao, you have been here since the first and second grade of junior high school. It’s my place tonight. I feel like you have been in the factory during the Spring Festival. Go back and have a good time, otherwise Xiaolan will be angry.”

 “No need, Brother Yu.”

"I was kicked out by Xiaolan. She asked me to figure out things in the factory before going back."

Facing such an employee, Li Duoyu didn’t know what to say, so he took a flashlight and went to the pond to check.

 When the light of the flashlight hit the pond, eels immediately gathered there.

Li Duoyu used a dip net to catch a few eels and found that the eels were more than ten centimeters long. After checking, he found that the eels were quite healthy and had no red gills or other symptoms.

 Since the last time more than 10,000 tails were cleared, now there are only more than 80,000 tails left in all the ponds combined.

Li Duoyu caught one with his hands and weighed it briefly, feeling that it almost weighed two ounces.

Eels can grow to very large sizes. There is a type of eel that can even weigh more than ten kilograms. However, the bigger the eel is, the more delicious it is.

On the contrary, the bigger the eel is, the more spines it will have, and the meat will be very tough. The most delicious eel is the 5P size.

  5P is five eels per kilogram, each eel is about 200 grams.

 At this time, the eel meat is the most delicate, and the spines are very soft and thin. If you don't feel it specially, the whole eel will feel like it is all meat.

 This batch of eels will almost reach the 5P standard after another four months of cultivation. At that time, they can be shipped directly.

As for the specific price, we have to wait until the island country’s inspection team comes to discuss it. This involves transportation and quarantine issues.

While Li Duoyu was inspecting the eels, a man named Xiaojun from the village came panting to the eel factory.

“Village director, are you here?”

 Chen Wenchao looked puzzled and said: "Xiaojun, you are in such a hurry to find the village director, has something happened?"

Xiaojun was about to say something, but because he ran too fast just now, he kept panting and couldn't speak for a while.

Li Duoyu heard the sound and walked over from the pond. When he saw the panting Xiaojun, he said: "Slow down, don't be in a hurry."

This young man, Li Duoyu is also familiar with him, he is from Zhang Erhu's militia company. He and a man named Wei Guo took the initiative to "take care of" Wang Dapao in the hospital.

After Xiaojun took a breath, he said: "Village director, our company commander, and Liu Mazi and the others are all trapped on the Dongjia Reef."

"ah!"

 After hearing this, Li Duoyu was a little older than himself. He originally wanted to have some leisure time. Why is there so much to do during the Chinese New Year?

 The matter of sister's pregnancy has not been settled yet, and something happened again here.

 Leave no need for Xiaojun to say anything, Li Duoyu had almost guessed the whole story.

It seems that the people who stole the boat on New Year's Eve were Liu Mazi and his friends.

 Because if you set out from Dandan Island, you must pass through Tung Kak Reef at the point where you go to pick up goods at sea. People who are familiar with sea routes will definitely avoid that sea area.

Li Duoyu is also familiar with Liu Mazi and the others, they are three or four years younger than him, and they have been out of the street since he was banned.

 His and Agui's positions were taken by Liu Mazi and the others, but the difference was that they were different.

These people are lazy and stupid.

At first, although he and Agui were also very bad, they were very diligent and all they could think about was making money. In order to learn how to sell goods, they worked for free for half a year, and then they remembered the route of selling goods.

As for this group of people, let alone taking the goods route, they have never even fished a few times. Who gave them the courage to take the goods route?

Li Duoyu also had a headache. If he guessed correctly, Liu Mazi and the others didn't understand that Dongjia Reef was dangerous, so they just crossed it.

 Normally it’s fine.

 When you are lucky, it is really possible to live like this, but they choose the first and second day of the lunar month, which is a big tide day.

On days like this, the currents on the Dongjia Reef side will become very violent. Even Li Duoyu, who is very familiar with that sea area, would not dare to cross the Dongjia Reef at night on such days.

 The newborn calf is not afraid of the sea!
