1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 345 The Dog Collector

Li Duoyu came to the dock as usual, planning to go out to sea to look at kelp and oysters.

 Lao Li has been busy with the new house recently, and he probably doesn’t have that much energy for the breeding raft.

 Wait until he arrives at the dock.

 Lao Lutou, who had just returned from outside, shouted excitedly before he even landed on the shore: "Come on, come on, let me tell you some exciting news."

 Lao Mi, the fishmonger at the wharf: "Don't make any excuses, just let it go as soon as possible."

“Lao Mi, you can’t have such a bad attitude towards me just because I sell fish to a fishery company now.”

 “Then sell it to me.”

 Lao Lutou smiled and said: "Okay, then you can raise the purchase price. As long as it is the same as the purchase price of the aquatic products company, I will sell you immediately."

Lao Mi rolled his eyes: "You unscrupulous guy, when you couldn't sell the fish, I was the one who took care of it for you. We are still neighbors and grew up together.

We also climbed over the wall to peek at Widow Yu, and we also wrote big-character posters together. "

Seeing him digging out all the old memories, Lao Lutou felt a headache and said, "Stop talking about it. Isn't it embarrassing? I'll sell you the fish next time."

 “That’s pretty much it.”

Stone who still wanted to hear the breaking news asked impatiently: "Lao Lu, what's the breaking news? Tell me quickly, I have to go fishing."

 After Lao Lutou parked the boat, he said word by word: "A big bag really appeared, and half the villagers in Xiqi were arrested."

Shitou asked: "Is it the Uiqi Village in the town next to us?"

 “That’s right, it’s that village.”

"Half the village was captured. No wonder Brother Hu and the others all went out last night. They probably went to be young men."

 Lao Lutou sighed with emotion: "It is said that twenty trucks of 'green clothes' were sent over last night. Border guards, armed forces, and militiamen all passed by and surrounded their entire village."

“Isn’t that just like when people seized goods in our town? What kind of crime have they committed? To engage in such a big battle.”

 Lao Lutou said in a low voice: "I also heard it from people. It seems to be related to the ship bombing incident last year."

 Lao Mi was puzzled and said:

"That case has not been closed. It is not that the people from Nanri Town did it. The main culprits have been killed. Why is it not over yet?"

 Lao Lutou shook his head and said, "I don't know either, but I heard from them that the one from Nanri Town is probably the scapegoat."

 The people listening on the pier suddenly said: "I also find it strange that Lao Lu said this."

"Generally, those who steal goods are very afraid of death. They sneak around all day just because they are afraid of being robbed by others. It should be impossible and unnecessary to rob others."

 Li Duoyu, who was standing by, was really surprised when he heard the news.

It has only been three days since he came back from Zhoushan, and it took less than five days for those little brats to be arrested.

 The case was solved so quickly?

But those people who were arrested were all inexperienced children, and they probably didn’t have that good psychological quality. Maybe the investigators were a little more “tough” and they might have done anything.

Li Duoyu asked:

 “Lao Lu, where did you get this news?”

Lao Lutou said: "This morning, I went to Qingkou Wharf to sell fish, and I happened to hear Lao Zhang and the others talking. One of them was a fishmonger from the next town, Aiqi Village."

Li Duoyu lowered his head and thought about it. Judging from this situation, it is most likely true.

“If we really catch someone, it will definitely be a good thing for the fishermen along our coast.”

 “That’s right.”

Old Lutou gritted his teeth and said: "Black sheep like them should be shot a hundred times. Two months ago, we were so scared that everyone did not dare to go fishing. One time, my fishing boat ran out of power and no one dared to help. I."

Shitou grinned and said, "Old Lu, you must have done too many immoral things, so no one is helping you."

 “Talking nonsense, what’s wrong with me?”

 “I feel like there is no morality everywhere.”

“Boy, do you know how to speak? Believe it or not, I will ask your father to whip you.”

At this moment, everyone’s conversation was interrupted by a group of grinning native dogs.

Everyone followed the sound and found seven or eight native dogs barking at a foreigner carrying an iron cage.

And that iron cage was full of dogs. The big iron cage in the front held a big white dog, and the iron cage in the back contained puppies that were two or three months old.

This kind of dog dealer will come to Dandan Island about once every six months, and almost every time he receives a lot of dogs.

Seeing that the seven or eight dogs kept barking at him, the dog dealer raised high the pair of dog-head pliers specially used to catch dogs.

After seeing the pliers, the group of barking dogs all involuntarily stepped back, keeping a distance of more than ten meters.

Every local dog looks fierce, but no one dares to bite this dog dealer.

The dog dealer placed the cage on the dock side, holding pliers in one hand, and said fiercely to the dogs that kept barking at him:

“If you dare to come here again, I will arrest you both and sell you to a dog meat shop.”

When Shitou saw the dog catcher, he clicked his tongue and said, "These puppies must be sold by Stinky Foot's family again. This puppy can be sold for at least five yuan. If you have six, it will be thirty yuan."

 The dog dealer smiled and said, "It's almost the same price."

Lao Lutou said disgustedly: "Other people keep dogs to guard their homes and homes, but his family keeps dogs for sale. Such people will be punished sooner or later."

Shitou smiled and said, "In two days, my family is going to kill an old dog. Do you want to come and eat it together?"

 “Okay, dog meat is the most nourishing.”

Shitou snorted coldly: "Hypocritical, you are just jealous of others raising dogs to make money. If you really want to eat dog meat, you will be the most active person on the island."

 Lao Lutou said with a dark face:

“Shitou, you kid, have you been itchy lately? You’ve been bickering with me all day, haven’t you? Last time there was a power outage, you were the first to trouble me.”

“Who asked you to build a two-story house and blocked the place where my clothes were originally used to dry clothes? Now my clothes can’t be dried all day long.”

"What's wrong with me building a building? If you build a two-story building and dry your clothes upstairs, you won't be able to block it."

 “How can I have the money to build a house?”

Lao Lutou chuckled and said: "Stone, if not, you marry my third son, and you will call me father-in-law from now on, and I will help you build your house."

When I think of the third daughter of Old Lutou’s family, the rock shakes like a rattle: “I won’t do it even if you offer me two houses.”

 Lao Lutou said with a dark face:

"What's wrong with my Yanyan? It's so easy to raise children. Just like Duoyu's second sister-in-law, she not only knows how to work, but also has children. If you marry her back, you will be like marrying a golden hen. You can only make money but not lose money."

Once he heard that Lao Lutou wanted to marry his daughter again, Shitou had a headache: "You'd better go find Zhao Dahai. I like someone like Teacher Shanshan."

"There are only bones left. What's the good thing? If the typhoon comes, it may be blown away."

Shitou snorted: "That's because you don't understand. People call it skinny beauty."

“Seriously, if you get along with our Yanyan, I will build you a house and give you a color TV.”

"impossible."

 Seeing Lao Lu promoting his daughter again, Li Duoyu couldn't help but smile. He remembered that not long ago, Lao Lu planned to promote her daughter to Zhao Dahai.

Depending on the situation, the negotiation should not have been concluded, but Li Duoyu remembered that the third daughter of the old Lu family really found a good-looking son-in-law in her previous life.

I heard that Lao Lu made a lot of money as a ship owner and engaged in breeding, so he used the money to buy a son-in-law who came to the house.

But what makes Li Duoyu more curious is that Shitou just seemed to like women like Shanshan, which suddenly reminded him of something.

“Tou Shi, what is your full name?” Shi Tou was shocked and said:

“No way, Brother Yu, we have known each other for so many years and you don’t even know my name.”

 Li Duoyu scratched his head and said, "I forgot."

Stone covered his chest: "My heart suddenly hurts. Brother Yu, my name is Shi Zhiyong. You gave me the nickname 'Stone'."

 “Shi Zhiyong”

"I see."

Li Duoyu thought about it for a while and suddenly realized that no wonder he didn't see Shitou when he returned to the island in his previous life.

 Damn it, this guy is not only a wife man, he is also the biggest licker on Dandan Island.

From small to large,

Has always liked Shanshan, who is four years older than him.

　　After Shanshan got divorced in her previous life, she chased her all the way to Rongcheng.

 Li Duoyu frowned. He seemed to remember that Shitou probably didn't catch her because Shanshan never remarried after her divorce in her previous life.

Li Duoyu looked at the stone with a smile:

“You don’t really like Shanshan, do you? I’m quite familiar with her, and now her husband has also joined the family. Do you want me to help you match her up?”

Meeting Li Duoyu doesn’t seem like a joke.

 Shitou suddenly became nervous, and his face felt like it was on fire: "Brother Yu, I'm joking, don't take it seriously. Who doesn't like a woman like Shanshan? There were a lot of people chasing her in our village back then."

Everyone looked at him with a half-smile.

 “You have a bad intention, kid.”

 “It turns out you like older people.”

“Don’t talk nonsense, I have always regarded Shanshan as my sister.” Seeing that something was wrong, Shitou quickly drove away in the fishing boat.

Looking at the stone that was escaping in a hurry, Li Duoyu couldn't help but laugh. He didn't expect that this kid was quite innocent.

Shanshan's previous life was indeed so miserable that she no longer believed in men, and she didn't know if things would change in this life or if Shitou would have a chance.

Li Duoyu looked at the dog in the iron cage. The big white dog was huddled in a corner of the cage, its tail retracted, and its whole body was trembling, as if it knew the consequences of being bought away.

Those little black dogs shrunk into small briquettes, revealing their **** eyes, but fear was clearly visible in their eyes.

Li Duoyu, who had previously promised to find a "mate" for Erbai Wu, happened to meet a dog dealer today, so Li Duoyu decided to try asking.

Li Duoyu pointed to the big white dog in the cage: "May I ask if this dog is male or female."

 “This is just a male dog.”

 “Sir, don’t do that.” Li Duoyu sighed, it seems there is nothing he can do to save you.

Li Duoyu squatted down and glanced at the puppies: "Brother, let me ask if any of these puppies are female."

 The dog dealer asked: "Do you want to buy it?"

 Li Duoyu nodded: "There is a plan."

The dog dealer was embarrassed and said: "But I bought these dogs from others and want to sell them to others."

Seeing that the dog dealer was not going to sell it, Lao Mi said directly: "The dog catcher, the person you are talking to is the head of our village."

"ah."

After hearing that it was the village chief, the dog dealer was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him.

Since the opening, he has traveled to many places to collect dogs. This is the first time he has seen such a young village chief.

 “Hello, village chief.”

Li Duoyu smiled: "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer. Just give it to me at the price you sold it to others."

The dog dealer hurriedly said: "How do you like it? I'll give it to you as much as I charge you."

“Village chief, are you going to buy it for yourself, or to use it to look after your family?”

“Housekeeper, pick out two little ones for me. I want a male and a female.”

"sure, no problem."

The dog dealer was not afraid of being bitten by the dogs at all. He reached directly into the dog cage, took out the two puppies, and tied the dog leash directly.

“I bought my dog ​​for one pound, and these two puppies were bought for ten yuan, so I’ll give you ten yuan.”

After Li Duoyu took the dog leash, he paid the rice dog a large dough stick on the spot and asked casually:

“Brother, where are you from? Your accent doesn’t sound like our local accent.”

 The dog dealer replied: "I'm from Shaoxing."

“No wonder you come out to buy dogs. Zhuji over there is very famous for its dog meat.”

The dog dealer was surprised and said: "Village chief, you actually know about dog meat in Zhuji. I am from Zhuji."

“When I went to sea before, I heard the fishermen from Zhoushan mention that the dog meat in Zhuji is very delicious.”

"This is really true. We in Zhuji dare to say that we are second in dog meat, but no one dares to say that we are first. We have been eating dog meat for more than 2,000 years. There is a saying, how do you say it?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Isn't it true? Dog meat rolls three times, even gods can't stand still."

"Yes. Village chief, I see that you are very knowledgeable about dog meat. If you have the opportunity to come to Zhuji in the future, I will treat you to the most authentic dog meat feast."

After saying that, the dog dealer took out a piece of cigarette paper and a pencil, wrote his address on it and said: "If you come to Zhuji in the future, come to me directly."

Li Duoyu accepted the cigarette paper handed over by the other party: "If I have a chance, I will definitely go to your place and try it."

 The two of them haven’t chatted for a while.

The passenger ship parked at the pier sounded its whistle, and the dog dealer hurriedly carried the iron cage and boarded the passenger ship.

 “I’m leaving first.”

Li Duoyu smiled and waved to him. To be honest, he didn't really like dog dealers. Although he didn't object to eating dog meat, he hated those who stole dogs.

These dog dealers and those who steal dogs are often in the same group. In short, this industry is not particularly positive.

Li Duoyu squatted down, looked at the two little black dogs that had been "scared to pee" for a long time, and touched their heads.

Old Lutou smiled and said: "These two dogs have a good life. If they follow our village director, they will definitely be rich in fish and meat in the future."

 Li Duoyu turned the two puppies over. One of them had a handle, and the other one did not.

Perhaps I talked a lot about dog meat to that old man just now. After seeing the two puppies, Li Duoyu couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Li Duoyu checked the little **** and frowned: "This dog is too small."

 I heard from Chen Wenchao that some time ago, he was always saying Q on the fishing raft and howling non-stop. For the safety of these two puppies, Li Duoyu decided to temporarily keep them at the eel factory.

It’s a pity that the dog dealer didn’t buy the most ferocious black **** in the village. Otherwise, he would have bought it back and sent it to the fishing raft.

 Two hundred and fifty will definitely be very happy.
