1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

The fishing boats are lined up side by side, with a boat operating every fifty meters or so. The scene looks spectacular.

The fishing boat that wanted to make a fortune silently was squeezed into a corner, and it didn't even dare to let go of a fart, but it couldn't help but complain:

“If they do this, they will be all over the shrimps in just a few days.”

"well"

 The ship's kerosene lamps flickered on the sea, and everyone set up their nets.

And some fishing boats tilted when they were left alone, and the person next door immediately reminded them: "Leave them over, because the fishing nets will get tangled up later, and there will be fights."

Liu Yun’s boat, which specializes in fishing for shrimps, does not have such troubles. It puts the beam on the seabed and drags it directly. This muddy bottom is very suitable for trawling operations.

 It's just a bit bad. There were so many fishermen who came to Qixing Bay to catch shrimp today, and the core area was occupied by them. His shrimp boat couldn't use its hands freely.

He could only drag the fish outside. Liu Yun tried to get closer several times, but immediately a fisherman signaled him with a flashlight and shouted: "We have lowered the net here, you go outside and drag it."

Liu Yun was also helpless, but as a foreigner, he still had to establish good interpersonal relationships with everyone. When one day he truly became the son-in-law of Xiasha Village, he could go back without any scruples.

 In addition, industrialization was very intense in the 1990s, and everything was poured into rivers. By then, offshore waters will be seriously polluted and fishery resources will also be hit.

As the village director, Li Duoyu feels very fulfilled as he watches the people in the village slowly become richer and their lives get better and better.

The two of them now believed in Li Duoyu unconditionally, the moment they heard that Li Duoyu wanted to take them to go fishing for shrimps.

The two brothers have heard that in the second half of this year, the county will officially issue the "First to Get Rich Award", which is the so-called "Ten Thousand Yuan Household" certificate.

Li Duoyu smiled and replied: "It's better to be caught by us than to be caught by others. No matter what he does, let's make the money first and put it in our own pockets."

Now he is very attentive. He goes to their house every three days to praise the two brothers. Originally, he said that the brothers were sloppy and unclear.

Everyone rarely gathers on such a large scale at sea, and they all feel quite fresh, as if they are celebrating a festival.

After experiencing the beauty of money, the Zhao brothers are now working harder and harder. They only want to make more money.

 If you don’t make good money now, if you accumulate more capital, it won’t be so easy to make money in the future.

Unlike many people who have boats now, and several who are about to become new households worth ten thousand yuan, the Zhao brothers remained silent and launched the net as quickly as possible.

Thinking of this, Li Duoyu couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He still remembered that after he was released from prison, most of the sea areas and tidal flats in Xiasha Village were contracted by the Wang brothers to outside companies.

 “I will bear with you for another month.”

Li Duoyu also plans to complete the early capital accumulation in the past few years and lay a solid foundation for the subsequent large-scale breeding.

At the stern of the boat, there was a group of people drinking and partying. As the village director, Li Duoyu warned while drawing cards: "Just drink enough. Don't get too drunk. Go down and accompany the shrimp soldiers and crab generals."

 It's a pity that the introduced ones are all too old. Zhao Erniu doesn't like them. He likes the younger ones.

At that time, even if one of the two brothers goes on stage to receive the award, the certificate will be placed at home to see who dares to look at the two brothers with colored eyes.

The big leader is right. If he wants to do something, he must be the first in the country. Otherwise, his rebirth will not mean much.

I once heard Xiaoying say that the happiest thing about being a teacher is when the students you teach are united and motivated, and each one of them can get good results in the exam.

They went to Lao Chen’s fishing gear shop and bought all the shrimp nets. The two of them had more than ten fishing nets and more than fifty pairs of ground cages.

 After everyone had put out the fishing nets, the small sampans with oars were less resistant to wind and waves. After they put out the nets, they all gathered next to the big boat.

Li Duoyu hummed: "Xiao Chao, you are now the number two employee in our company, and your net worth is quite high. If you save one tonight, the fee will be thirty yuan."

The villagers didn't catch anything good. Even when he came out, there were only about a dozen decent fishing boats in the village.

Now you can say anything unconscionable, saying that Zhao Dahai is honest and honest, and that Zhao Dahai was deceived by Widow Chen and forced to clear his name.

If it is true as Li Duoyu said, if there are shrimps here, then if the two of them work hard, even if they do not need to raise kelp, the two brothers may enter the ranks of households worth 10,000 yuan in advance.

Feeling uncomfortable with the rocking of the small boat, Li Duoyu simply climbed onto the big boat to rest, which surprised Li Duoyu a little.

　　Earlier, the two of them were still worried about finding a partner, but now they are not bothered at all. Previously, they did not want to introduce the matchmaker to them at all.

 “Damn, it’s so dark.”

They also said that Zhao Erniu was smart and capable, and would definitely be a good man for the family. During this period, the matchmaker introduced two or three partners to their brothers.

 The number of people buying boats will naturally increase. I am afraid that in a few years, we will begin to enter the era of barbaric fishing.

 Chen Wenchao said seriously:

Li Duoyu on the fishing boat looked at the lights of hundreds of boats in front of him and felt an indescribable feeling of joy in his heart.

 Shitou was stunned for a moment, feeling that what Brother Yu said made sense, as if he was thinking too much.

On the fishing boat, Shitou couldn't help but ask: "Brother Yu, if we have so many boats coming to fish, will we catch all the shrimps in two days?"

 The big boat is quite busy, but there are also fishermen who are afraid of mistaking their fishing nets, so they have been waiting near the fishing nets, waiting quietly.

Chao Dahai has experienced the best of Widow Chen, and has become very picky when it comes to finding a partner.

Li Duoyu has also thought about this question, but the question itself has no meaning, because as everyone has more money, the more money they have.

Even if they don’t fish, in the days to come, after knowing that there are shrimps here, the “electricians” will definitely come to visit here.

More than ten people also gathered on Li Duoyu’s fishing boat. Li Duoyu and Lao Lu sat on the deck and started playing “eighty points”.

 “Okay, Brother Yu, I promise you won’t lose a penny.”

Among these people, some actually went fishing with playing cards. The most exaggerated thing was that many fishermen had wine and peanuts hidden in their boats.

 “What are you afraid of? Xiao Chao is here.”

 Some fishermen who are more impatient have already lost their control, and from time to time they pull up the sticky net and take a peek to see if they have caught any prawns.

Just like this, I watched it three or four times an hour. When he picked up the net and watched it the last time, the young fisherman was so excited that he was a little incoherent.

 “Get rich, get rich.”

 “My fishing net is full of shrimps.”

“It’s so big. They are all palm-sized shrimps, not small shrimps.”

“Really or not, is it that exaggerated?” When they shouted, other fishermen were also curious and wanted to see their own fishing nets.

 Some old fishermen said in disdain:

“Young people nowadays really don’t have any patience at all. This net has only been left open for a long time. If you keep lifting it like this, you won’t be able to catch any shrimps.”

After the old fisherman said this, some fishermen who originally wanted to see the fishing nets also agreed:

“That’s right, I caught a few shrimps, and I was so surprised. I didn’t know it, and thought you had caught a big treasure.”

But these people keep talking, after seeing more and more fishermen saying that their fishing nets are all shrimps, they feel like they are sitting on a thorny cushion, and they are not even interested in playing cards. The old fishermen just now couldn't help but peek at their fishing nets.

 In the dark night.

There was the sound of the net lifting machine working everywhere. After seeing the sticky net being pulled up, everyone's mouths opened wide, and they all said "fuck, f*ck"

Some fishermen now want to run to the fishing boat, hug Li Duoyu and kiss him hard. Some people really want to call him ancestor.

 “Net hoist, stop for a moment.”

“There are too many. I can’t keep up with the speed of the Internet. I can’t finish them.”

Someone also shouted: "If you are catching shrimps, it is best not to use a net hoist. This thing will crush the shrimps and make them worthless if they are killed. You can just pull them with your hands."

Under the illumination of the kerosene lamp, brightly colored yellow prawns hung on the sticky net. There were more than ten shrimps in the section they pulled up alone, and each one was very big.

The Zhao brothers took a breath of air-conditioning. With the density of prawns on the fishing net, it would be difficult for everyone not to make a fortune.

As for Lao Lu’s fishing boat net, his son-in-law Zhang Yuansheng was struggling to pull down the net. Seeing so many shrimps, he couldn’t help but ask:

“Dad, didn’t you say last time that after Yanyan was born, if I went to sea with you, I would pay 70% to 30%, so this trip, I can get 30%.”

Lao Lu frowned as he looked at the large shrimps on the deck. To be honest, he really didn’t expect that his son-in-law would be so ruthless.

 Some time ago, I just told him that as long as Yanyan was pregnant, she would take him to make money together. Unexpectedly, within two months, she was pregnant directly.

 Lao Lu is also worried that Zhang Yuansheng will run away immediately after he gets rich. When the time comes, where will he find such a good helper?

"Let's do this. I'll give you 10% first and the other 20%. After the child is born, I'll give it to you as well."

Zhang Yuansheng gritted his teeth. Normally, a son-in-law who comes to the house cannot save money and manage money. One thing is true.

As far as the shrimp of this ship, the 10 % income was also a lot. Zhang Yuansheng thought about it and agreed on the spot: "OK, then give me 10 % first."

Lao Lu glanced at his son-in-law who came to visit him, and suddenly felt a little regretful. He promised to give him money if he could save it.

 It is estimated that it won't take too long to leave their home, but there is nothing you can do about it.

Now he just wants to make money and try to make enough money to support Yanyan and her children.

 After the first round of prawn purchases, many people found a headache: the wooden barrels they brought were simply not enough.

They can only pick out the largest shrimps and put them in buckets of running water, and the rest of the smaller ones can only be put in baskets.

 Some fishermen sold them directly to Li Duoyu on the spot. As a result, there were so many shrimps that even the live water tank of the fishing boat was full, but it was still not enough.

Li Duoyu shouted directly with a loudspeaker: "My boat can't be taken in anymore. If you want to go back to the island, come to my boat and I will pull it back for you."

Taking advantage of the interval between the next net collection, Li Duoyu took the lead in pulling seven or eight boats back to the island, and his second brother Li Yaoguo, Qingguang, Lao Li, Sister Shuihua and Xiaolan were also there.

They are all here at the dock. When they come back, the second brother Li Yaoguo even called a tractor.

 The cart bucket was covered with a tarpaulin, and a lot of clean sea water was already filled on it.

 After Li Duoyu's fishing boat docked, directly point the rear bucket of the tractor toward the live water tank of the fishing boat.

Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao used a net to scoop the live shrimps from the live water warehouse onto the back bucket of the tractor and transported them directly to the eel factory.

 This can greatly reduce deaths caused during transportation, and Shuihua and Xiaolan also followed the tractor to the eel factory.

They have to separate the "good shrimps" from the "bad shrimps" overnight to try to reduce Li Duoyu's workload.

 This night.

 The fishermen on Dandan Island hardly slept, and they were all busy until the early morning of the next day.

By the time the sun rises from the east, most of the fishermen have put away their nets and followed Li Duoyu’s fishing boat back to Dandan Island.

 The quality of this batch of prawns was particularly good. Whether they were dead or alive, Li Duoyu accepted them all.

The cash in Li Duoyu's hand was all gone last night, and now it's all in bookkeeping, because Li Duoyu can take away one-tenth of everyone's income.

 In the end, the purchase price of fresh prawns is three yuan per catty, while the live shrimps that can be used as broodstock are fetched forty-five cents each.

 Old man Mi was very hurt this time. He thought Li Duoyu only wanted live shrimps, so he could still get a share of the pie.

  Last night I was so excited that I didn’t sleep much, but I didn’t expect that this time Li Duoyu would collect all the shrimps, whether they were dead or alive.

Looking at the baskets of shrimps, Old Man Mi's heart bleeds. Even if he only earns 50 cents per catty, with so many shrimps, he can earn hundreds of dollars at least.

 “Your uncle’s.”

Lao Mi said with a dark face: "If I had known, if you didn't sell it to me, I would have gone out to sea with you to catch shrimps last night."

 “Then let’s go together tonight.”

 “Isn’t this nonsense, otherwise I will watch you make money.”

 Li Duoyu took the reconciliation book and shouted:

“Chen Shuiqiao in Chenjiacun, 34 kilograms of sea shrimp, 75 qualified prawns, totaling 135 yuan, which is directly calculated as 136 yuan.”

 Li Duoyu wrote a note on the spot, stamped the company seal of Minlong Food and his personal seal, and said:

“Shui Qiao, we don’t have that much cash now. In two days, take this piece of paper to the eel factory in person and ask for the money from my second brother Li Yaoguo.”

“Zhao Dahai and Zhao Erniu from Team 3 of Xiasha Village have 105 kilograms of shrimps and a total of 245 qualified prawns. A total of 425 yuan.”

Hearing that it was more than two hundred yuan, many villagers widened their eyes with envy. Several of their brothers had been rejected on blind dates before.

Hearing that these two brothers made so much money in one night, they began to regret it. If they had made two more days, they could even buy a TV.

“Our prospective son-in-law from Dandan Island, Liu Yun, has 260 kilograms of shrimps, 125 qualified prawns. The total is.”

Li Duoyu frowned and said, "It's too much money to calculate. I used a calculator to calculate it. The total is eight hundred and thirty-six yuan."

After hearing this figure, the villagers who did not own a boat were completely uneasy and even went crazy. They were really uncomfortable. They also really wanted to have a boat and go to sea with Li Duoyu to make a lot of money.

 After Li Duoyu finished checking the accounts, he shouted with a loud voice:

"There are no fishing boats in the village yet. Listen carefully. It's like this. Teacher Zhou once told me that some people in our village are really hardworking and motivated, but they are just unlucky and have never made enough money to buy a boat. money

Teacher Zhou decided to use some private money to buy five fishing boats with engines and rent them to everyone."

Before Li Duoyu finished speaking, dozens of people gathered around him: "Director Li, I want to rent a boat."

“Director Li, how much do you charge?”

“Director Li, when I was in the third grade, we were still at the same table as you. You should still remember it.”
