1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 53 Gushan Moso Bamboo (please follow up)

 When you go to bed at night.

 Zhou Xiaoying was very excited.

“Duoyu, do you think my second sister-in-law will hate us to death after losing so much?”

"Maybe."

However, Li Duoyu felt that after the second sister-in-law lost money, the second brother should be the most unlucky.

 It’s already ten o’clock in the evening.

The second sister-in-law was still chattering and scolding the second brother.

“It’s not that you’re stupid. I have two gold coins in my hand in that plate. You just need to hit me a five and I’ll get the gold bird.”

“There is also the Golden Bird with many fishes. I listened to a total of seven cards, but I couldn’t play any of them.”

Second brother Li Yaoguo has always remained silent, not wanting to say a word in reply to a woman who is both dishonest and free-spirited.

 Not long after.

Zhou Xiaoying looked at Li Duoyu with a puzzled expression. She was pregnant for the first time and didn't understand it at all. She even asked her mother-in-law about this and found out that she was breastfeeding early. She didn't expect Li Duoyu to understand?

 “Ahem, Holly told me.”

 “Why does this man tell you everything?”

Li Duoyu nodded solemnly: "Students like to shake off their baggage. He also told me that when encountering this kind of situation."

Li Duoyu was lying on the bed and said: "I may have to leave the island tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I may not be able to come back in time. If I don't come back, you will have dinner with your parents."

 “Where are we going this time?” Zhou Xiaoying asked.

“I plan to go to Gushan to buy some moso bamboo and build a fishing raft near the kelp breeding raft so that I can have a place to rest while working at sea.”

“Then you have to pay attention to safety when you go out.”

 The next day, Dandan Island Pier.

Chen Wenchao was waiting there with his bag on his back. When he saw Li Duoyu, he immediately came forward to say hello.

Li Duoyu originally wanted to go to Gushan to buy bamboo alone, but considering that he would have to walk a mountainous road and might have to stay overnight, multiple people would have to take care of him.

 After all, the security of this era is poor.

 It’s really not that good.

The children from Uncle Hu's house next door have been selling cooked fish in other places all year round, and they are often robbed by local gangsters.

Li Duoyu remembers that during the Chinese New Year in their family, a group of brothers and sisters actually discussed together how to prevent being beaten too hard by gangsters.

The two took a passenger ship on the island to Qingkou Pier, and then boarded a bus to Rongcheng.

 After getting on the bus, Li Duoyu handed the master a cigarette: "Master, call us at the intersection of Dazhu Village."

 Almost an hour later.

 The bus master shouted: "Dazhu Village has arrived."

So Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao got out of the car and saw a wooden sign on the side of the road with the three characters "Dazhu Village" painted on it.

There is another line below: It is still 30 miles to Dazhu Village.

 Dazhu Village is on Gushan Mountain.

Li Duoyu remembers that the village is located at a relatively high altitude, and the moso bamboo grown there is also very good. They are long and thick, and are very suitable for making fishing rafts.

 It can also be inserted on the tidal flat to grow oysters, or hang kelp and seaweed to dry.

 But there is no shuttle bus in Dazhu Village. If you want to go to their village, if you don’t bring your own transportation, you have to walk in.

The winding dirt road,

 There are trees on both sides.

 Walking on this road has a completely different feeling from the island.

 You can see the sky when you look up from the island.

 The field of view is very broad.

 Don’t worry about wild beasts or anything like that.

But the road in the mountain village is full of trees, and there are dense weeds on both sides. From time to time, various swishing sounds are made, and one does not know what is in the grass.

 Chen Wenchao, who was a little scared, was walking in the middle of the road. He picked up a bamboo stick in his hand and was on guard, fearing that something would suddenly come out of the grass.

Li Duoyu, on the other hand, observed the dirt road. There were traces of trucks running over it, which proved that there were trucks in this village.    This is much easier to handle.

What he fears most is that there are no trucks in Dazhu Village. Then, after buying the bamboo, he will have to call a truck to pull the bamboo.

 The two of them walked about ten miles.

Li Duoyu heard the sound of a truck coming from behind, followed by two horns.

A four-wheel agricultural truck used to pull goods stopped beside them, and a master in blue cloth greeted them.

 “Folks, where are you going?”

 Li Duoyu replied: "Let's go to Dazhu Village."

The master in blue cloth smiled and replied: "You are so lucky to meet me. I am from Dazhu Village. Come up here and I will take you into the village."

After climbing into the car, Li Duoyu smelled the smell of smoke and quickly took out a cigarette and handed it to the master.

The master chatted while driving: "You came to our Dazhu Village to buy moso bamboo, right?"

"how do you know?"

 Li Duoyu deliberately acted a little surprised.

The master said proudly: "Then you have come to the right place. Our village has nothing but moso bamboo. Many house builders say that the scaffolding made of moso bamboo in our village is particularly strong."

　　“Yes, yes, yes, I just came here because of your reputation.”

Li Duoyu found that this master was quite talkative.

 After chatting for a while, I learned that almost everyone in their village had the surname Ou, and his name was Ou Wusheng, and he was an agricultural vehicle driver in the production brigade.

After driving on the winding mountain road for about half an hour, Chen Wenchao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, already had a look of pig liver color on his face.

 He discovered something.

 Those who don’t get seasick may not necessarily get motion sickness.

 After the bus arrived at Dazhu Village, Chen Wenchao ran directly to the side of the road and vomited.

 After arriving at the village.

The driver told them that there was no ready-made bamboo in the village. All bamboo was in the mountains. If they wanted to buy bamboo, they had to go to the brigade to spend money and ask the announcer to shout with a loudspeaker.

Li Duoyu took out a dollar on the spot and handed it to the agricultural vehicle master. "Master, we are not familiar with this place. Can you help us get in touch?"

After the driver accepted it, he took out fifty cents from his coat pocket and gave it to Li Duoyu:

“You don’t need so much. Our village radio broadcast is only 50 cents. You wait here for me to get off the bus. I’ll go to the brigade to find the loudspeaker.”

After taking two steps, the driver scratched his head and asked:

"By the way, I forgot to ask you, how many and how big do you want to buy? The big ones here usually cost 30 cents, and the small ones 20 cents."

Li Duoyu replied: "The bigger the bamboo, the better. If there is enough bamboo, it can probably fill up your agricultural vehicle."

"Understood."

While waiting for the notification, Chen Wenchao, who had come back to his senses, said: "Brother Yu, this mountain road is too scary. I have never vomited so badly when I encountered a level 8 wind at sea.

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "That's because you don't run much. If you run a few more times, you'll get used to it."

 After hearing this.

Chen Wenchao's face turned pale on the spot: "We won't come here again in the future."

Li Duoyu nodded and said seriously: "Moso bamboo is quite important to us farmers. We may need to cooperate more often in the future."

 Chen Wenchao:

 “Notice from the brigade, notice from the brigade.”

“Now at the head of the village, a boss comes to buy moso bamboo. He wants bamboo that is more than one foot tall. He wants to buy a cart, and each bamboo is three cents. If there are villagers who want to sell, go and chop it down quickly.”

 After the radio shouted five times in a row.

Li Duoyu saw many villagers rushing into the bamboo forest, carrying hatchets on their backs.

NOTE: When talking about a foot of bamboo, you use a soft meter ruler to circle the head of the bamboo. If it is 33.3 centimeters, it is a foot of moso bamboo.

Dear friends, it’s Tuesday. Please read and vote. I also have a big dream. I want to get more recommendations. I will update it for two consecutive days today.
