1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

 Chen Dongqing also didn’t expect to see someone showing off their affection as soon as she woke up. Although he had a share of breakfast, it was very unpleasant to eat.

 After breakfast, he sat on the rocks on the shore and smoked a cigarette.

He couldn't figure out when Xu Xiaoqing, the one who wanted to be with him no matter how hard it was, changed.

　　Compared with his feelings, Xu Xiaoqing cared more about his career. He would send things to the leaders every now and then, and he would often invite his wives to go shopping and buy clothes.

Sometimes, when others talk about Li Duoyu, Xu Xiaoqing likes to emphasize that without the help of his brother-in-law Chen Dongqing, Li Duoyu would not be as successful as he is today.

 Chen Dongqing knows very well that Li Duoyu is more interested in kelp farming than he is. The real situation is that Li Duoyu helped him get out of the predicament.

What makes Chen Dongqing most uncomfortable is that since the last time he had dinner with Zhao Jialu at Jiangbin No. 1, he didn't know where he learned his identity.

He became very enthusiastic and talked about him all day long, urging him to have a good relationship with Zhao Jialu, and even shouted that he wanted to invite Zhao Jialu and his wife to dinner.

 Chen Dongqing is really tired, not from work, but from heart. He doesn't understand how the sunny girl with bright eyes and teeth back then has become so philistine.

This reminded him of something his leader once told him: society is a big dye vat, and the whiter the paper, the easier it is to be dyed in various colors.

The two of them also quarreled over these things, but after each quarrel, Xu Xiaoqing felt aggrieved. After all, everything she did was really for Chen Dongqing.

Now, Chen Dongqing has given up struggling. Since she wants to be promoted so much, she should work hard.

As long as this shrimp farming project is successful, plus the kelp project, he is very likely to receive national recognition, and it will also open up a path for him to rise.

Just when Chen Dongqing was smoking his second cigarette, Li Duoyu came to him and couldn't help asking: "Why do you look so stinky, like someone owes you money?"

Chen Dongqing looked at Li Duoyu angrily and suddenly asked: "What do you think is the most important thing in life?"

Li Duoyu frowned slightly: "What's there to think about? Of course, living is the most important thing."

Chen Dongqing glared and said, "Can't you just have a good chat? Don't you see that I'm annoyed?"

Li Duoyu looked at his uncle and felt that something was wrong with his recent state. He must have had a conflict with his aunt.

Li Duoyu thought for a while and suddenly remembered himself in his previous life. Then he asked his uncle for a cigarette and started smoking, and said lightly: "Choice is important."

Chen Dongqing said disgustedly: "Why are you getting more and more old-fashioned? What you said is as if you didn't say it."

 “Hey, I didn’t learn it from you.”

"I don't have this problem." Chen Dongqing sighed. He found that Duoyu was right. Choices are very important. In life, almost all the paths are chosen by oneself. There is really no need to complain.

After finishing smoking, Chen Dongqing said: "Let's go and collect the shrimp eggs. They should have finished laying them."

At this moment, on Ludao, more than 200 kilometers away from Rongcheng, a nearly 100-meter-long transport ship docked at Heping Pier.

Not long after it docked, workers continued to unload the cargo.

In a foreign-style building not far from the transport ship, several middle-aged people looked at the cargo on the transport ship with envy on their faces.

“I have heard news that the equipment on the ship seems to have been purchased by Li Duoyu from Dandan Island.”

“They are all brand new imported equipment. This guy is very ruthless. He borrowed so much money to buy equipment, but the equipment our company uses is not as good as his.”

Someone joked: "How about we find some connections and let him keep these equipment for two days."

Sun Xiangdong, the group leader, sneered: "Don't you know who approved the loan for him to buy these equipment?"

The man smiled: "I'm just talking nonsense, but the leader's behavior is not authentic. This is obviously deliberately training him to go against us."

Sun Xiangdong frowned, and then asked: "Where is Mr. Zhang? I haven't seen him recently."

"It should be over in Nanri Town. The eel delivery time is coming soon. In a short period of time, he will not come to the group. It seems that he will live directly at the eel factory."

“You are very serious and responsible. Everyone should learn from Mr. Zhang. This is the attitude towards doing projects.” After Sun Xiangdong finished speaking, when he turned around, his face straightened.

What they didn't expect was that Zhang Sanming was almost always scolding his mother these days.

 It will be delivered soon.

But the eels gave him trouble again. The typhoon had passed for several days. I thought nothing would happen, but in the past few days, the eels began to die one after another.

 Looking at everyone fishing for dead eels in the pond, Zhang Sanming asked with a dark face: "Teacher Zhang, how many more died today?"

Zhang Xuejin, who looked a bit ugly, replied: "About more than 1,300."

“How come there are more fish than yesterday? Have you fed eels with medicine every day as advised by the Overseas Ministry experts?”

Zhang Xuejin nodded and said: "Yes, we did everything he said, but the eel is still dead."

Zhang Sanming said angrily: "Then what's going on? Can't you give me an explanation?"

Zhang Xuejin frowned, and then replied: "It should be Typhoon Tianhou, who is infected with parasites and bacteria from external water sources. I have conducted experiments with wild eels that were also infected and eels in ponds. The experimental data shows that the drug is more effective on wild eels." .”

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Sanming interrupted directly: "Don't tell me about experiments all day long. The group hired you not to do research but to solve problems. Just tell me directly. Whatever the reason is.”

Zhang Xuejin was silent for a while, and then said: "Some eels are now resistant to antibiotics, and these antibiotics are not very effective for them."

After hearing this, Zhang Sanming was stunned for a while, and then he realized: "You mean, it's my problem when the eel is in this situation?"

Zhang Xuejin waved his hand quickly: "No, without Mr. Zhang's drugs, we might not be able to survive at this stage."

Zhang Sanming frowned and asked another person: "Did the island country say anything about it? When will they come to pick up the goods?"

They raised this batch of eels relatively early, and now they are in compliance with export regulations. If the island country comes to pick up the goods in the near future, even if more than a thousand eels die every day, they will not lose much.

“Almost, it will take more than a month to arrive.”

Zhang Sanming scolded on the spot: "Why is it so slow? If we continue to die for a month, how much will we lose."

The key staff of the eel factory were all silent at the moment. No one dared to answer this question, and no one dared to tell him that more and more eels would die every day from now on.

Zhang Sanming, with a dark face, suddenly asked: "Are we the only ones who will die? Is there any problem with Li Duoyu?"

Lin Youming replied: "After the typhoon, Li Duoyu's eel factory was surrounded like an iron can. The people we placed on the island couldn't get in to understand the situation at all. It seemed that they couldn't even get close during this period. near."

 Zhang Sanming scolded: "Why don't we just raise an eel? It'll be like developing a new weapon."

"If that person can't do anything, you should contact Zhu Xiuhua and give her five hundred yuan directly and ask her to come back with some useful information." After hearing this, several key players present felt a little uncomfortable and even felt Somewhat ironic.

He was the one who drove Zhu Xiuhua away in the first place. Before leaving, he deducted all his last month's salary.

 I have been working for you for more than half a year, and the amount I have received from beginning to end is less than three or four hundred.

Now that something has happened, you will be generous and ask for five hundred yuan. If you had known about this, why did you do it in the first place?

Lin Youming, who is also a breeding expert, suggested: "Mr. Zhang, I think this matter is quite urgent. Let's go directly to Director Li. If he is willing to help us, he might be able to cure our eel disease." ”

 When Zhang Sanming heard this, he exploded instantly. At the last shareholders' meeting, he had already rejected the plan of letting Li Duoyu come to see a doctor.

If you go to beg him now, where will you put your face? What will the shareholders think of him?

When he thought of this, Zhang Sanming scolded him on the spot: "It sounds nice, but you really think he is so kind. Speaking of which, if you had the skills, I would be in such a mess by you."

Lin Youming was so scolded that he didn't dare to say anything, but deep down he despised Mr. Zhang.

If they had established a good relationship with Li Duoyu at the beginning, then they would at least have an escape route now.

At this moment, Zhang Sanming saw that a worker was about to bury the dead eels infected with parasites and bacteria, and stopped him on the spot: "Stop, who told you to dump the eels?"

 Zhang Sanming cursed until his voice became hoarse.

“This month, if any eels die, we will kill them all and make them directly into grilled eels. Zhang Xuejin, do you know that you will be responsible for this for me?”

Hearing this, Zhang Xuejin’s face looked a little strange. If something went wrong, it would be a big problem.

 But after thinking about it for a while, he decided to do as Mr. Zhang said. Doing so would indeed reduce losses.

 He is tied to the eel project. If the project disappears, it will have a huge impact on him.

At Qixing Bay Shrimp Factory, someone sent Li Duoyu a letter from Nanri Town.

 After reading the contents of the letter, he couldn't help but frown. There was a problem just as he expected.

But Li Duoyu felt that if these eels died, it would still be a small problem, and they had not encountered the real big problem yet.

But now he had no time to care about these things and just threw the letter into the stove fire.

Workers are collecting fertilized eggs of prawns and separating some prawn feces from the fertilized eggs.

Li Duoyu was patiently teaching them what to do, and many villagers were very curious as this was their first time seeing shrimp eggs.

 “How did such a small egg grow to be so big?”

One of the villagers held a handful of shrimp eggs with his hands: "If these all hatch, wouldn't we make a lot of money?"

Li Duoyu smiled, he was very satisfied if he could hatch out one tenth of the eggs.

 “Everyone, please move quickly.”

Li Duoyu urged everyone to quickly put the fertilized eggs into the nursery pool. During this period, these fertilized eggs had to be constantly inflated and oxygenated.

He also used a push stick that others used to dry rice, and kept pushing it back and forth in the nursery pond to stir up the fertilized eggs from the bottom of the pond.

 Chen Dongqing may know a little bit about shrimp farming. Because of the above documents, he has actually participated in several shrimp farming trainings.

This was his first contact with cultivating shrimp seedlings. He had no idea what Li Duoyu was doing, so he had no choice but to ask without shame.

“Isn’t the pool oxygenated? Why are you pushing it like this?”

Li Duoyu didn't hide it either: "This is to prevent some fertilized eggs from gathering around the pool, causing death due to lack of oxygen."

“By the way, how long will it take for these eggs to hatch?”

Li Duoyu said: "It takes about one to a day and a half from fertilized eggs to hatch to nauplii."

Chen Dongqing was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that such a professional term as nauplii would come out of his mouth.

Although he was surprised, Chen Dongqing was already used to it, because the last time he went to his house, he actually saw a lot of professional books on aquatic products.

There were even several English books with many professional terms that even he couldn't understand, but with the help of Zhou Xiaoying, this guy was able to "guess" them based on the context.

 About a day passed.

 It’s exactly what Li Duoyu said, most of the fertilized eggs have hatched and turned into nauplii which are difficult to see with the naked eye.

Chen Dongqing looked at the shrimp seedlings through a microscope and couldn't help but ask: "This thing is so small, how do we feed it?"

Li Duoyu, who had been working for two consecutive days, said feebly: "What the hell, do you see any yellow stuff on them? That's their yolk. They can get through this stage by consuming their yolk."

“Director Li is awesome. You all know this. I want to ask you to give lectures to our researchers.”

“My lecture fee is very expensive, and your institute may not be able to afford it.”

 “You’re still kicking your nose and face, right?”

"I'm just telling the truth, okay? In the future, I may not necessarily hold a shrimp breeding class. At that time, each student who comes to attend the class will receive 10,000 yuan."

“You are really a capitalist gangster. Damn it, if you go back ten years, I will definitely kill all your relatives out of righteousness.”

"If you dare to touch your sister's most precious son, your sister will kill you first."

 While the two were arguing.

Zhao Jialu hurried over. When he saw the two of them, he smiled and said, "My uncle is here too."

Chen Dongqing smiled and nodded, and said: "I am working for this evil capitalist for free."

“Brother Yu, your equipment has arrived at the dock. Director Wu has arrived. Do you want to go over and take a look?”

 After hearing this, Li Duoyu finally felt relieved. In fact, the equipment of the shrimp farm is really very crude now.

 The equipment they use is civilian equipment. If there is no professional inflatable oxygen machine, they use a blower instead.

 “Okay, I’ll go right away.” (End of chapter)
