1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 367: Stable, outperforming the Ringworm

 Some time ago, the two puppies I bought from the dog dealer were playing in the factory. Seeing that Li Duoyu was busy, they ran directly to his feet and rubbed them.

Also made a "woof" sound.

 After the two puppies came to the eel factory, the food became better. The dog's hair looked smoother. It had a pair of **** eyes and the wagging tail was quite cute.

But Li Duoyu didn't have time to play with them now. Seeing that they kept bothering him, Li Duoyu directly asked Chen Wenchao to put them in a dog cage.

 Chinese herbal medicines such as Baibu, Sophora flavescens, Sophora azadirachta, Guanzhong, Artemisia annua and Betel nut all have strong anti-parasitic effects.

 Neem also has the effect of astringing and stopping bleeding and diarrhea. Cortex Phellodendri and Poria cocos can remove dampness, clear away heat, inhibit bacteria and detoxify.

Li Duoyu mixed the Chinese herbal medicine powder according to a certain proportion according to the method he learned in his previous life, and then slowly cooked it in a large iron pot.

 While brewing the medicine.

Li Duoyu also picked up the eels together, and placed the eels suffering from manic swimming syndrome in No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 cement pools.

 At the same time, we also caught relatively healthy eels and placed them in cement pools No. 4, 5, and 6.

 When treating eels, it is almost necessary to test the medicine first. If you just pour the medicine into the eel pond without testing it, it will be too late to regret if something goes wrong.

 After all, medicine is divided into three parts poison.

Medicine must be used with caution. If the dose is not well controlled, the eel may be killed before the disease is cured.

 When there is no 100% certainty, it is still necessary to test the medicine.

 Next, Li Duoyu dissected an eel suffering from manic swimming syndrome. The gills were swollen to the point that they could not be covered, and some viscous liquid flowed out.

  The gill filaments in the gill cover are a bit messy and not as regular as those of normal eels. At the same time, there are gray and white spots, which are characteristics of being heavily parasitized by ringworms.

The gills of fish are equivalent to human lungs and are used to breathe oxygen. Once there is a problem, they are likely to die from lack of oxygen.

Just as the diseases that kill most humans are respiratory-related diseases, the same is true for fish. The gills are also very susceptible to diseases.

 An outbreak of ringworm will not only cause the eels to die due to lack of oxygen, but will also cause the eels to suffer from various diseases.

 After checking the gills, Li Duoyu cut open the eel's belly with a knife and checked the intestines. It was just as he expected.

This eel's stomach is empty and it has not eaten at all recently. Fortunately, its stomach and intestines are relatively healthy and there are no other symptoms.

Li Duoyu is still confident that he can only treat one disease. What he fears most is the superposition of multiple diseases. Even the professional eel doctors in later generations will shake their heads after seeing this.

After dissecting the symptomatic eels, Li Duoyu also dissected some "relatively" healthy-looking eels.

These eels look quite energetic and are difficult to catch. They have to be knocked unconscious before further inspection can be carried out.

Still the same as the previous one, Li Duoyu checked his lower gills and found that there were also small white spots, but the symptoms were mild.

This kind of relatively healthy eel should generally be fine for another ten days and a half, but since it needs to be treated, we might as well treat them all together.

 “Duoyu, are you back?”

At this moment, A Niang’s voice came from outside the eel factory. After Li Duoyu heard the voice, he looked outside.

I found Aniang carrying a small Tutu on her back and carrying a basket to the eel factory.

 “Aniang, I’m back.”

Chen Huiying put the basket with lunch on the ground, then took off the rope that tied little Tutu, and said slightly angrily:

“When I came back, I didn’t know how to go home to eat. If I hadn’t seen your boat at the dock, I wouldn’t have known how to cook for you.”

Li Duoyu grinned and said, "I had something to do and was quite busy, so I didn't go home first. I won't do it next time."

 Chen Huiying frowned and said, "I made taro rice and kelp soup for you guys. It's already past lunch time. You guys should eat it while it's hot."

 After Xiao Tutu saw Li Duoyu, he immediately started acting like a spoiled brat:

 “Dad, I want a hug.”

Li Duoyu knew what he wanted to do, so he hugged little Tutu directly, and then gently touched his arm with his beard scum.

 “Dad, bad.”

Although little Tutu called his father bad, he smiled very happily and especially liked Li Duoyu playing with him like this.

 Then he grabbed his beard. Seeing that he couldn't pick it up, he started struggling: "Go down and play with the dog."

Little Tutu is over a year old and can now run away when walking. He can run from time to time. If you don't pay attention, he can run out of your sight.

Li Duoyu handed the little Tutu to A Niang and motioned for her to take the little Tutu back.

There are ponds and various mechanical equipment everywhere in the Eel Factory, and Li Duoyu doesn't dare to let little Tutu play here at all.

Chen Huiying also felt unsafe, so after bringing the things over, she forcefully took little Tutu away, but he was like a loach, crawling around in her arms.

 When leaving.

 Little Tutu was so wronged that she cried on the spot.

 “Dad, hug me.”

 “Play with daddy.”

Li Duoyu took a look at Xiao Tutu and finally understood why in his previous life, there were so many businessmen and farmers but their children were not well educated.

 The key is that I am too busy and have very little time to spend with my children.

Chen Wenchao smiled and said: "Brother Yu, Tutu likes you very much. It's not like the one in my family who acts like a stranger when she sees me. She still cries when I hug her."

“Then go back and spend more time with your children.”

 Chen Wenchao complained: "Every time I stay at home for a little longer, Xiaolan kicks me out."

 Looking at little Tutu who kept calling him daddy, Li Duoyu was quite happy. Thanks to him, he often played with him at night, otherwise he would probably have ignored him.

What Li Duoyu didn't expect was that Aniang simply said: "Be good, little Tutu. I'll give you a lick of maltose when I go back."

After hearing this, little Tutu became quiet instantly and said happily: "I want Tangtang, not daddy."

Li Duoyu glanced at Chen Wenchao, smiled awkwardly, and then patted him on the shoulder: "We are actually pretty much the same."

Wait until the Chinese medicine mixture is ready.

 After Li Duoyu was filtered, he put it in a large bucket and tested each cement pool separately.

 The dosage of pool No. 1 and pool No. 4:

 5 mg of traditional Chinese medicine mixture per liter.

 The dosage of pool No. 2 and pool No. 5:

 8 mg per liter.

 The dosage of pool No. 3 and pool No. 6:

  10 mg per liter.

Seeing Li Duoyu pour the mixture into it, the second sister-in-law kept staring at the eel pond and couldn't help but ask: "Duoyu, how much of this medicine did you put in? Why didn't the eel react at all after you put it down?"

Li Yaoguo shook his head speechlessly and said: "It's not that fast. Have you ever seen someone get better immediately after taking medicine? Treatment of illness is a process, and treatment is also a process."

 To be honest, Chen Wenchao is really nervous.

Hundreds of eels have died one after another these days, and the number has obviously increased in the past two days, which makes him very worried.

  I am very afraid that tens of thousands of them will die at once before it happens.

 After pouring the Chinese medicine mixture into the cement pool, Li Duoyu stirred the water in the pool.

The medicine was gone, and now there was nothing he could do. The only thing he could do was to wait.

 Based on past life experience, it takes almost ten hours for the effects of the medicine to appear.

 He subconsciously raised his left hand, and then realized that he didn't have a watch, so he asked his second brother, "Brother, what time is it now?"

 “It’s almost three o’clock in the afternoon.”

Li Duoyu thought for a moment. In other words, it would be around 12 o'clock tomorrow morning to know whether the medicine has any effect.

 It doesn’t matter whether it has any effect or not.

Li Duoyu decided to beat the remaining Chinese herbal medicine into powder.

As for the second sister-in-law, when she heard that she wanted to help grind the medicine, she was so attentive that people felt a little scared.

 “There are many fish, just let me come.”

“I am the best at grinding medicine. No one in the village can grind it better than me. I even got a certificate for grinding sweet potato powder before.”

Seeing that everyone was a little slow in grinding the medicine, the second sister-in-law pushed the cart from the factory and went to the dock to find someone to borrow a stone mortar and a big wooden hammer.

Put the hardest betel nut into a stone mortar and smash it with a bang. When you hit it, the floor shook.

The three men in the eel factory laughed bitterly, because the work efficiency of the three of them combined could not be compared to Zhu Xiuhua.

 After working continuously for four hours, all the medicinal materials were finally crushed into powder.

At this time, the sky in the east has turned dark, and where the sun sets in the west, there is still some blue color.

On Dandan Island, which is still experiencing a power outage, kerosene lamps are lit one after another. From a distance, there is only a glimmer of light.

 The street lights were all unlit, and since the power outage, everyone went to bed earlier.

Li Yaoguo said to Zhu Xiuhua: "Why don't you go back and cook for Haoran and supervise his homework?"

Zhu Xiuhua twisted his arm: "Haoran doesn't have to worry at all. If I'm not here, Haoran will go to A Niang's place to eat."

Li Yaoguo frowned. Everyone present knew what she was planning, but no one was too lazy to expose it.

Li Yaoguo handed Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao a cigarette respectively and said, "Would you like to sit outside for a while."

Li Duoyu took the cigarette and said, "Okay." The two brothers, plus Chen Wenchao, came to the steps outside the eel factory and sat down directly.

Li Yaoguo asked: "Duoyu, your prescription should be kept secret. Is it appropriate to let Xiuhua learn it there?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "I am only half-full. If she can learn from this, then she is really a genius."

 Chen Wenchao scratched his head and said, "Actually, I'm watching it too, but I don't understand what Brother Yu is doing at all."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "I'll teach you later."

 In front of them was a beach with bamboo poles planted on it, and there were many fishing boats on the sea in the distance.

 Ever since we got two nets of large yellow croaker from Da Shitou last night, everyone’s enthusiasm for fishing has been high today.

 At the fishing raft not far away, a light suddenly came on, and the outlines of several people could be vaguely seen.

 But I couldn't hear the dog barking. Judging from the situation, it should be Dad and the others.

Since Lao Li became a manager, he has indeed done less work, but his hours have become longer. It is often seven o'clock and he still refuses to "get off work".

 I always feel that they earn wages too easily and often leave everyone late.

During this period, many people have come to him to complain, saying that his father arranges too many and too detailed tasks, is difficult to get along with, is very arrogant, and makes no sense at all.

　　I often wake them up to work at six o'clock, and only let them go home at seven o'clock in the evening. They are very stingy and are reluctant to even give them tea.

 Once Uncle Arita had an emergency at home and planned to take a day off, saying he would make up the shift another day, but his father refused and insisted on deducting his wages for the day. Uncle Arita was so angry that he almost gave up his job on the spot.

 Speaking of which, his father was the earliest captain of the fishing team, and Uncle Zhuang would occasionally call him the old captain.

 But because he was too serious about doing things, he didn't get along well with the team members, so he replaced his uncle as the captain.

To be honest, when Li Duoyu was young, he didn’t quite understand why his father had such difficulty communicating. It was only later that he understood when he got older.

Not everyone can be diplomatic. His father is the kind of person who "can't turn around". Many things can be easily handled with a little concession.

 For example, back then, he and his mother-in-law fell in love first, and then something happened to his fifth uncle. At that time, the two of them already had a big brother in their belly.

Had he actively communicated with the old lady at that time, mother and son would not have been separated from each other for more than thirty years.

There was also the incident when the family was separated and the eldest brother was so angry that he ran away from home. If my father had handled the matter in a diplomatic way, there would have been no such things.

 In the past, Li Duoyu would complain that his father was not tactful enough, but after reaching a certain age, Li Duoyu realized that it was really arrogant to try to change someone from his own point of view.

According to his mother's words, he probably won't be able to change his bad temper in this life.

Li Duoyu is also afraid that all the newly recruited employees will quit.

 In the end, Li Duoyu had to secretly increase the wages of the newly recruited employees, from the original 30 per month to 35 per month.

For the sake of money, everyone swallowed their anger and continued to listen to Lao Li's command.

 While they were resting.

A man came over carrying a basket. Li Duoyu took a closer look and found that it was Zhou Xiaoying.

Li Duoyu hurried up to meet her, removed the pole from Zhou Xiaoying's shoulders, and asked, "Why are you here instead, where is my mother-in-law?"

Zhou Xiaoying sighed and said: "Aniang is angry. She said that she has cooked rice often recently, but none of you go back to eat."

 Zhou Xiaoying whispered: "Aniang, I'm mainly angry with my father."

Li Duoyu smiled: "Did they two quarrel?"

 “A small problem is not a quarrel.”

Zhou Xiaoying brought out the eight-treasure rice in the basket, as well as pickled vegetables and pork ribs soup.

 “Hurry and eat it while it’s hot.”

 After taking out the dinner, she pulled Li Duoyu aside and took out a piece of red cloth from her pocket. After opening it, it turned out to be a watch.

“Last time I collected kelp, after your watch broke, it seemed like you never bought one, so I bought you one.”

Li Duoyu looked at this watch in surprise. It was the same model as his junior high school classmate Zhang Jianhua.

“This watch is very expensive, it costs hundreds of dollars.”

Zhou Xiaoying was surprised, and then said: "It's not that expensive. This watch is not new, it only costs more than 20 yuan. I happened to have a colleague who was short of money and wanted to sell the watch. It looked quite new, and he didn't wear it for long, so Just sold it to me cheaply.”

 “Why, don’t you like it?”

“If you don’t like it, I can return it and buy you a new one when the time comes.”

 Li Duoyu shook his head.

 “It looks pretty good, and I don’t mind if others have worn it.”

 “Then I’ll buy it.”

Li Duoyu smiled and did not expose him. This watch was almost brand new and most likely not second-hand.

 Besides, even if it is a second-hand piece, one of this quality will be sold for seventy or eighty yuan even in the second-hand market.

Last time Zhou Xiaoying celebrated her birthday, Li Duoyu lied about the price of his Walkman. Unexpectedly, just over a month ago, Zhou Xiaoying also lied about the price of a watch.

 It should be considered even.

 After they finished eating, Zhou Xiaoying packed up the bowls and chopsticks and put them into the basket.

 Before leaving, he looked at the watch that Li Duoyu had already put on: "It's not bad, it looks pretty good."

Li Duoyu said: "By the way, Xiaoying, I may spend the night at the eel factory. You should lock the door."

Li Duoyu has been busy for two days in a row. In the past, as long as he was on the island, he would go back to sleep no matter how busy he was.

“Eel, is it serious this time?”

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "It's done. There's no big problem. Don't worry. Just go back and bring Tutu."

"Um."

 After nine o'clock in the evening.

There were only a few bright lights left in the village, so the second brother turned on the radio and listened to storytelling.

The second sister-in-law is more like an eel farmer, always staring at the cement pond.

“Duoyu, come and take a look. There seems to be something wrong with the eels in these two ponds. Their bellies are turning white.”

Li Duoyu raised his hand and glanced at his watch. It was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and eight hours had passed since the potion was put in.

Li Duoyu took a look and found that in the No. 3 and No. 6 ponds, the eels seemed to be in pain. Some were spinning in the pond, some simply stayed still, and some simply turned their bellies.

 Drug poisoning!

The second sister-in-law couldn't help but ask: "Duoyu, is there something wrong with your medicine?"

 Li Duoyu smiled and said, "No problem, it's actually a good thing."

The second sister-in-law frowned: "Everyone is dead, how can it be a good thing?"

"You do not understand."

 “If I don’t understand, then teach me.”

 “No, this is confidential and requires money.”

The second sister-in-law gritted her teeth and said, "How much money it is, I can't give it to you."

Li Duoyu held out five fingers and said, "This is the number."

The second sister-in-law frowned and said, "Five hundred?"

 Li Duoyu shook his head.

The second sister-in-law gritted her teeth and said, "You are too shameless. You can't charge five thousand just for treating fish."

Li Duoyu grinned and said: "How can it be five thousand? I said fifty thousand."

After hearing the price, the second sister-in-law was stunned and said with a dark face: "50,000, you might as well grab it. Whether you can sell these eels for 50,000 is a question."

Li Duoyu said seriously: "Second sister-in-law, it's really not me who cheated you. My skills are really worth fifty thousand at the moment."

 “Really?” Zhu Xiuhua didn’t believe it. .

 Li Duoyu nodded and said: "Why are you lying to me? My uncle and the others don't know this technology. I think I am the only one who knows it now."

 After hearing this, Zhu Xiuhua suddenly became excited and felt that it was worth working so hard today.

　　Although she has not mastered a complete set of techniques, she has at least mastered half of them. In this way, her current technique must be worth 20,000 yuan.

 Fortunately, Zhu Xiuhua did not express this idea, otherwise Li Duoyu would probably burst into tears on the spot after hearing it.

 Li Duoyu fished out a dead eel from the No. 3 pond and found that the gill cover was covered with white foam with some bloodshot streaks.

 After cleaning up the foam, Li Duoyu directly cut off the gill cover with scissors, then placed the eel under the lamp and observed it carefully.

 Those gray-white dots on the gills have fallen off on their own.

 This thing is the ringworm group. If it can fall off, it proves that these traditional Chinese medicine mixtures are useful and can effectively kill these ringworms.

But the dose was too high and the eel was poisoned to death. Seeing this, Li Duoyu couldn't help but smile.

 At this point,

 He has already outperformed the Ringworm.

Some people say that the pace has been too slow recently. It seems that there may be too many characters, causing the pace to not keep up. Next, I will try my best to focus on the main line.
