1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

In addition to Secretary Chen’s visit to him, Lao Liao also talked about a lot of things that happened in the village these days.

 What Li Duoyu didn’t expect was.

There was actually the matter of the Zhao brothers. Because the widow Chen from the next village did not want to get married or get a ring, Zhao Dahai and her often quarreled, and finally they were beaten up by a slap in the face.

 It’s easy to go out but hard to come back.

Zhao Dahai had a falling out with his brother because he wanted to have **** with the widow next door. When he left, he took a lot of money and things with him, including the diesel sampan.

But when he came back, there was only one diesel sampan left, and Zhao Erniu was no longer willing to let his brother go home.

He said that the family had been separated a long time ago and the family no longer had anything to do with him. Now Zhao Dahai could only put up a awning on the sampan boat and live on the boat like the Dan people.

 After hearing the story of the Zhao brothers, Li Duoyu couldn't help but sigh: "These two brothers really have a lot to do."

 Old Liao smiled bitterly and nodded:

“No, these two brothers are quite capable, and they are also quite capable of getting into trouble, but they just can’t get up.

Two days ago, Lao Lu saw him sleeping on the awning boat and felt pity for him. He also wanted to do some ideological work for him. He said that if he was willing to get along with his family, Yanyan, he would build him a double-story building. However, Zhao Dahai was on the spot. So he refused. "

Li Duoyu was startled for a moment. Lao Lu was really worried about his daughter.

But after thinking about it, Zhao Dahai knew that it was impossible for Zhao Dahai to agree. I heard that Widow Chen was good-looking and plump. And Dahai had tasted the good looks of the widow, so how could he downgrade his consumption.

Li Duoyu remembered that in his previous life, there was a movie called "The Courtyard of Love", in which a widow ate the male protagonist to death.

I didn’t expect that in addition to the Zhao brothers’ matter, Director Liu would also be implicated because of his sister Li Shuihuang’s child.

 A few days ago, she was taken away by the organization for investigation. Not only was she publicly criticized, but her previous advanced worker award was also revoked. Fortunately, her position was retained.

Li Duoyu frowned. Logically speaking, if something like this happened, he and his neighbors would be implicated to some extent.

 The worst case scenario is that Li Duoyu, the village director, cannot continue to be cheated. The best case scenario is to pay a fine.

But now it seems that Director Liu took care of this matter for them. In this case, Li Duoyu owes her a favor.

Li Duoyu drank two cups of tea with Uncle Liao at the village committee and then went to the eel factory.

 60,000 eels were exported, and now there are still 20,000 eels left in the eel ponds.

 Due to the low breeding density and the previously expensive Chinese medicinal baths.

 The overall situation of eels has become very stable, and no large-scale infectious diseases have occurred again.

Since the second sister-in-law ran away to work alone, the eel factory has become deserted, and Chen Wenchao has been busy building the embankment recently.

The second brother was watching the eel factory here, and the beard residue was significantly more, and the whole person was scribbled a lot.

 The table and chairs where I usually sit are surrounded by cigarette butts, and there are also a few empty wine bottles on the table.

 Li Duoyu asked: "Brother, how do you feel when no one cares about you?"

Li Yaoguo said: "It goes without saying that it must be very enjoyable."

Li Duoyu smiled.

He knows very well what kind of person his second brother is. This person essentially likes to be managed, otherwise he would not have found a woman like his second sister-in-law.

Although the number of eels being cultured has decreased, the second brother is still the same as before, measuring water temperature and quality, checking the growth of eels, and has not missed any of these daily tasks.

Since the last time it was exported, the eel has gained a lot of weight. It was originally about half a catty, but now it weighs about six to seven taels.

It can be said that now is the time when eels are gaining weight rapidly. According to the traditional taste of the island country, they prefer to eat eels of half a catty.

Grilled eel of this size is relatively tender and tastes good, but the unit price is relatively high.

 The 6-7-liang eel also tastes very good, but when you chew it, the fine spines will be more obvious.

 For an eel farmer, the heavier an eel is, the higher the profit will be. After all, fattening is the next step.

 In the past life, the eel breeding industry has experienced several ups and downs. Finally, after exporting to domestic sales, in order to open up the domestic market, the price had to be pushed down.

 However, the lower the price is, the less profit will be made. The eels will have to be raised bigger and bigger, which will directly lead to a very poor taste and experience of grilled eels.

Li Duoyu has eaten eel rice several times in Rongcheng, but the experience was not particularly good.

 It’s not just European eels used,

It is also a large eel with many spines, which are very obvious when eaten.

 There is also confusion among merchants.

 It is said that the big eel has a more elastic texture and tastes more delicious.

However, consumers are not fools either.

 You can still feel that you are being treated differently.

 In the end, instead of opening up the market for exporting eels to domestic sales, the reputation got worse and worse, leading to the closure of many eel factories.

 It was precisely because the eel factory closed down that Li Duoyu could no longer work for his boss, so he started farming kelp and oysters.

 Li Duoyu plans to spend a few days.

Go to the aquatic products processing factory to make these eels into grilled eels and sell them to Chen Yuanyou and Manager An.

 After all, there are still many wild eels in China. If we only produce live eels, we will not be so competitive.

 In this day and age, what people want to eat more is the taste of Kabayaki eel.

Given the current purchasing power in the country, the price of grilled eels cannot be too high. I don’t think I can make much money from these 20,000 eels.

However, it’s okay to make less money.

 The important thing is to be happy.

Of course it would be best if you can make money and be happy at the same time.

 In his previous life, when Li Duoyu was working for others, he had always been unhappy. Why should the products exported to foreign countries be the best, while those exported to his own countrymen should be ordinary goods?

 Later, when I became a boss, I realized that this is called the law of the market. Whoever has money must have the best food.

 Given the current national conditions, good things are naturally exported to earn foreign exchange. People like him who leave good things to the Chinese people are considered alien and cannot be understood.

Seeing that his second brother was bored, Li Duoyu bought two bottles of beer and some peanuts and drank with him for a while, listening to his complaints for a long time.

Just then we left the eel factory.

He planned to have a good night's rest and go to the town committee tomorrow to ask Secretary Chen about the net hoist.

 Kecai left the eel factory.

Li Duoyu found that in the oyster field full of bamboo poles, there were several white shirts wearing straw hats, pulling his oysters.

Li Duoyu naturally knew who they were. The fishermen on Dandan Island would not dress up like that at all.

Li Duoyu drove a sampan and went directly to look for them. As soon as the boat approached, Li Duoyu smiled and shouted: "You are stealing oysters so blatantly, you are not afraid that I will arrest you all."

After hearing the sound, the people on the small boat looked at him one after another. An older researcher replied:

“Director Li, where have you been these days? If you don’t come back, we might really steal all your oysters.”

Li Duoyu smiled.

 All of his breeding projects are in cooperation with the Fisheries Research Institute. It is his oyster field, but it is also the breeding base of the Fisheries Research Institute.

 In a sense, people at the Fisheries Research Institute can indeed conduct research and sample the things he cultivates without his consent.

Of course, it’s okay to take a small amount, but it’s not okay to take too much.

Brother-in-law Chen Dongqing was also on the small iron boat, but when he saw Li Duoyu, he had a look of disgust on his face and didn't give him a good look at all.

Seeing the constipated expression on his face, Li Duoyu frowned and said, "Comrade Dongqing, I don't seem to have provoked you, why do you look like you owe me money?"

 Chen Dongqing had a dark face:

 “When did I owe you money?”

 “I’m just making an analogy, so why should I do it more seriously?”

Director Zhang Qingyun smiled and said: "Director Li, Comrade Dongqing is jealous that you have been invited to be a teacher by Ludao Fisheries Science and Technology School."

 Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment.

 “You all know this.”

Director Zhang nodded: "Our circle is very small, and if there is any trouble, everyone will know about it."

Li Duoyu coughed twice:

"Comrade Dongqing, actually, I don't really want to go. If you really want to go, I can discuss it with Director Wu and ask him to discuss it with the school and give you the spot."

 After hearing this.

Director Zhang Qingyun was startled for a moment, then smiled bitterly, aren't you adding fuel to the fire?

Chen Dongqing gritted his teeth: "Everyone asked you to go by name, why should I go and join in the fun?"

“Actually, someone like me who only has a junior high school diploma is really not suitable to be a teacher for a group of technical secondary school students. It has to be a college student like you.”

Chen Dongqing wanted to jump on his boat and strangle him to death: "You did it on purpose, right?"

 Li Duoyu nodded and said: "Damn it, I have been suppressed by you since I was a child. It's not easy. I'm so awesome, but you don't let me brag twice."

Chen Dongqing sneered and said: "I'm here to show you, don't get so nervous that you wet your pants after getting on the podium. When I was a kid, I don't know who it was. Now I'm eight or nine years old, and I still wet the bed."

“Damn it, it’s not over anymore, is it? You keep making fun of me when I was a kid, and I don’t know who it is, but I peeked at the widow with me.”

 Li Duoyu wanted to continue.

 Chen Dongqing immediately jumped on his sampan and covered his mouth.

 “I’m your uncle, please give me some face.”

Director Zhang Qingyun on the side couldn't help but laugh. The uncle and nephew were quite interesting and they also liked to quarrel.

Logically speaking, when the school wants to find a teacher, it should give priority to people from the Fisheries Research Institute, but this time it came to him directly.

Li Duoyu felt that Director Wu must have helped connect people or made introductions.

 After Li Duoyu subdued Chen Dongqing, he asked Director Zhang:

“Director Zhang, are you here to prepare for research on a new project?”

 Zhang Qingyun shook his head and said:

“There are no new projects. Even several nearby towns are planning to cultivate oysters. I don’t have enough oyster seedlings there, so I plan to come to your place to pick some seedlings.

Li Duoyu then remembered that July to September was the breeding season for oysters here.

At this time, the gonads of the oysters are very plump, the eggs are mature, and ovulation will begin soon. As long as there are enough oysters cultured, the seawater may turn white in extreme cases.

Hearing that Director Zhang wanted to collect seedlings, Li Duoyu immediately said: "Director Zhang, we can work together on this."

 Zhang Qingyun joked: "Director Li, how do you plan to cooperate."

Li Duoyu chuckled and said: "I can cover all the expenses for collecting seedlings. When the time comes, I can hand over all the oyster seedlings to you, but can I share some of the white oysters you raise there? ah."

 Zhang Qingyun knew that this boy had no good intentions.

“Director Li, you’re making a big deal out of it. Are you going to trade the seedlings with me for old seedlings?”

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Director Zhang, this is a win-win cooperation between us. If you give me the white oysters, then next year, I can also give you the white oyster seedlings. Besides, aren't we in a cooperative relationship? This is also your institute’s breeding demonstration base.”

Zhang Qingyun knew that he must have taken advantage of him, but he felt that what he said was very reasonable: "Yeah, I can't convince you."

"Then it's settled, I'll go to your place to get seedlings when I have time."

Zhang Qingyun frowned and said, "By the way, Director Li, do you know how to collect oyster seedlings?"

Li Duoyu thought for a while and replied: "You should know, I saw them doing it in Zhanjiang. They used cement to make oyster cakes. When the time comes, they can make some oyster steaks and hang them in the sea. "

Zhang Qingyun was a little surprised, not expecting that this guy really knew how to pick oyster seedlings.

 This also made him more certain that Li Duoyu must have been to Zhanjiang.

 Because when collecting oyster seedlings in the north, oyster shells and scallop shells are used as seedling collectors.

Only in the Zhanjiang area do people like to use oyster cakes made of cement as seedling pickers.

Zhang Qingyun sighed. It seems that just doing research may not be very effective. Only going out and seeing the outside world is the best scientific research.

Looking at the busy embankment not far away, Zhang Qingyun couldn’t help but ask:

“Director Li, if you enclose the tidal flat, what are you planning to raise?”

 “This.”

Li Duoyu smiled and replied: "Some time ago, I went to the Zhoushan Islands, and passed by Taizhou on the way. I saw many people there raising blue crabs around the embankment. I thought it was pretty good, so I planned to give it a try. "

Zhang Qingyun naturally knew that people in Taizhou had been raising blue crabs for a long time. He looked at Li Duoyu curiously and asked:

 “Do you know how to raise blue crabs?”

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "I have learned a little bit, I don't know how well I will feed them, but I think it won't be a big problem to feed them."

Zhang Qingyun frowned: "Director Li, how come you know everything? This makes us researchers very useless."

Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly.

“Where, I only know some superficial breeding techniques. It is you who can really drive the development of the breeding industry.”

“To be honest, I don’t understand what breed optimization and breed research are at all. If it weren’t for Comrade Dongqing’s invention of summer kelp seedlings, we wouldn’t be able to breed them.”

“If it weren’t for the Pacific oysters you introduced, Director Zhang, we wouldn’t have such good oyster varieties here.”

Zhang Qingyun smiled: "If you use your mouth to flatter the leader, maybe at the age of forty, I can make you a department-level cadre."

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "I just like to stay on the island. I am free. I don't have to go to work on time. I can sleep until whatever time I want." (End of Chapter)
