1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Sea area near Taizhou.

A group of fishermen who would start fishing for jellyfish at this time every year were busy on the sea.

One fisherman cursed in the local dialect: "Who took away all the jellyfish? You bastard, I can't catch a boat a day, I'm so happy."

Seeing that the harvest this year was too bad, several young fishermen finally couldn't hold back.

They called two speedboats and planned to go to the direction where the jellyfish came from to see what was going on.

"Let's go and take a look."

They also wanted to know where they were intercepted, and what worried them most was whether this would happen every year in the future.

A young fisherman said angrily: "Anyway, most of their fishing boats have to pass through here if they want to go to Zhoushan fishing grounds.

If they dare to intercept our jellyfish, we will intercept their fishing boats in the future."

Another fisherman said: "It's better to talk to our own people. Speak softly when you are in someone else's territory, so as not to make us get caught in a sack."

They went upstream along the ocean current, and they did see some fishing boats catching jellyfish.

But they were all small-scale ones, without even a trawl net. It's impossible for them to destroy all the jellyfish groups.

After chatting with local fishermen for a few words, they learned that they didn't catch many jellyfish this year.

And these young fishermen thought that they could find the culprit who intercepted their jellyfish after running dozens of nautical miles.

But they didn't expect that the boat would stop and start for more than a day, and asked all the way to the Mindong waters a hundred nautical miles away, but still didn't find any useful clues.

They didn't expect to sail so far. In this unfamiliar place, several young fishermen wanted to give up.

But since they were here, they felt particularly disadvantaged if they didn't figure things out.

Although they couldn't stop others from intercepting jellyfish, they at least knew who intercepted them.

Fortunately, before they gave up, a more enthusiastic old fisherman provided them with a more valuable clue.

"A few days ago, I heard a huge explosion near that small elephant island. It should be frying fish. There are quite a few boats there. Do you want to go and take a look?"

Following the direction pointed by the old fisherman, several boats came to the small island with the elephant trunk.

Perhaps because of the proximity to the Matsu Islands, the number of fishing boats here has obviously decreased, and they also found a relatively "dense" group of jellyfish here.

Although there is no basis, their intuition tells them that the jellyfish were intercepted here.

At this time, they saw a small fishing boat with two shirtless young fishermen on board.

One of their fishing boats approached, and Zhao Dahai and Zhao Erniu saw the strange boat coming towards them.

The two brothers became nervous instantly, thinking it was a fishing boat from Matsu Island.

Zhao Erniu held a long gun in both hands, his face was fierce, and if the situation was not right, he planned to do it on the spot.

Unexpectedly, when the fishing boat approached, the other party kept waving and even threw a pack of cigarettes over.

"Brother, can you ask something?"

Seeing that the other party had no ill intentions, Zhao Dahai lowered his guard a little, and Erniu still pretended to pick fish, but his hand was still on the gun handle.

After all, in the open sea, even acquaintances are more terrifying than sharks in the sea. It is not uncommon for people to be sunk in the sea for fishing boats these days.

"Ask if anyone was fishing for jellyfish here a few days ago."

After hearing this, the Zhao brothers were stunned, and then looked at the other party's fishing boats, one of which was printed with the words Zhejiang and Taiwan Fishing.

Just a few days ago, Brother Yu told them not to fish too much and leave some for other places.

Unexpectedly, someone really came to the door. Zhao Dahai thought about it and suddenly nodded and said, "I'm not sure, but it seems that there is really a fleet fishing here for jellyfish."

After hearing this, several young fishermen became excited instantly. They asked at sea for two days and gave away two packs of cigarettes. Finally, they asked a reliable one.

"Brother, which fleet is fishing here for jellyfish?"

Hearing this, Zhao Erniu frowned and thought that Dahai was going to do something bad, so he directly stabbed Zhao Dahai with a fish fin.

It hurt him so much that his mouth was deformed, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "It seems that the fishing boats from Matsu came here to catch them."

After hearing this, these young fishermen even felt a little incredible that it was the fishing boats from the overseas province that took away the jellyfish.

There was even a conflict with the local fishing boats, and both sides used explosives. The young people were stunned as if they were listening to a war movie.

At first, they didn't believe this statement, but not long ago, they happened to hear the explosion mentioned by the old fisherman.

It just happened to match.

It feels really credible.

In addition, they have been out for two days and have run too far. They are not familiar with this area.

They can only walk along the coast. It will take another two days to go back.

"If you have the opportunity to come to Taizhou in the future, we will treat you to seafood."

Zhao Dahai also waved to them and said, "Walk slowly."

After they left, Zhao Dahai's right foot kept shaking and cursed, "Erniu, what did you stab me with just now? Why does it hurt so much?"

"Just now I was afraid that you would tell the truth, so I stabbed you."

"Shake a hammer, am I that stupid? I know those people are from other places by their accents."

Seeing how painful the sea was, Zhao Erniu glanced at the fish he just picked up casually, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

When the sea hurt so much that his eyes closed, he hurriedly hid the golden drum fish and secretly threw it back into the sea. He said, "It's just an ordinary sea bream, it doesn't hurt that much."

“Wherever the snapper’s sting hurts so much, it must be some other fish.”

"Then I don't know. It is said that urine can detoxify. Brother, how about I go pee and soak it for you."

"Go away, I will do it myself."

Li Duoyu took a tricycle and arrived at the dormitory of Rongcheng Machinery Factory. He had just gotten off the car when the old man waving the cattail leaf fan immediately said, "Director Li came to see your brother again, and he brought so many things."

Li Duoyu replied: "Nothing, just some seafood on the island."

This old man, who everyone called Lao Xu, was quite envious: "The people at the beach are nice, and seafood is always given to them. It would be expensive for us to buy it."

"Uncle Xu, do you have a basin here?"

Just as he finished speaking, Li Duoyu glanced at an enamel basin on the table and unscrewed one of the jellyfish jars.

"Director Li, if you really don't want it, I'll just say it."

"It's just a jellyfish, not a valuable thing."

Later, Li Duoyu poured two or three kilograms of jellyfish from the jar and said: "When eating this, you must first soak it for two or three hours, slice it, and then add cucumber, soy sauce, and vinegar."

After pouring, Li Duoyu tightened the lid and said, "I will put this bucket of stuff in your bucket first."

Seeing that Li Duoyu gave him so many jellyfish without saying a word, Lao Xu was really at a loss.

"Director Li, you are so polite, it makes me feel embarrassed."

Li Duoyu smiled, then carried another small bucket and headed to the unit dormitory assigned to his eldest brother.

After a few knocks on the door. Chen Huiying was surprised when she saw the grinning fourth child Li Duoyu, then stopped him and closed the door.

Immediately afterwards, Li Duoyu outside the door heard her mother-in-law urging her sister-in-law to go back to the house.

"Yu Qin, Duoyu is here. Hurry up to the room and feed him."

Jiang Yuqin, who was breastfeeding her child, quickly put on her clothes:

"Aniang, Duoyu and I haven't seen each other for a long time, so let's have a chat."

"No, we can't break the rules. It's not good for you and the children."

"There are no outsiders here, so there's nothing wrong with it."

Chen Huiying directly pushed the mother and son into the room: "Wait a minute, you are not allowed to come out, do you know?"

Li Duoyu, who was listening outside the door, was more in favor of A Niang's approach. After all, she was weak after giving birth and had poor immunity.

If you have casual contact with outsiders and get infected, it will not be very good for the mother and the child.

After Chen Huiying locked Jiang Yuqin and the children in the bedroom, she came over to open the door and said slightly reproachfully:

"I just came here not long ago, why are you here again and taking so many things?"

Li Duoyu said: "A few days ago, I got some jellyfish. My dad thought they were delicious and asked me to bring some for you."

Chen Huiying frowned and said: "In the future, don't make a special trip for this kind of thing. We haven't even finished half of the dried seafood we brought last time."

Hearing that there were jellyfish, Jiang Yuqin in the room shouted happily through the door: "Duoyu, leave some jellyfish for me. The smell of those dried foods is so strong that I almost vomited, so I just wanted some jellyfish to relieve my tiredness." "

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, the jellyfish this time is really good."

Unexpectedly, Chen Huiying said on the spot: "You are in confinement, and you still want to eat something as cold as jellyfish."

Immediately afterwards, Li Duoyu heard his sister-in-law wailing: "I don't want to drink that chicken soup or squid anymore. I just want to eat something light. I have gained more than ten kilograms and am almost like a pig." ”

Chen Huiying insisted: "No, you can't eat cold food during confinement."

Faced with A Niang's insistence, Li Duoyu was helpless. After all, this was how they had been in this generation, and it was difficult for you to convince them.

This is probably one of the reasons why many mothers do not want their mother-in-law to help them during confinement.

Looking at the grandma in front of me, although she is a bit paler than on the island, she still looks very haggard.

At first glance, she looks like she hasn't slept well for a few days. To be honest, helping my daughter-in-law during confinement in the city is much more tiring than in the countryside.

In the countryside, when you are bored, you can still chat with your neighbors and relatives, but in the big iron box of the city, the space for activities is really limited.

And she doesn't have many friends or relatives here. Her daily tasks are probably to buy vegetables, make confinement meals, and then help take care of the children.

Zhou Xiaoying also experienced this kind of thing in his previous life, but what made him most uncomfortable was that he was obviously exhausted.

My daughter-in-law often complains why she didn’t spend more money to live in a confinement center in the first place.

Thinking of this, Li Duoyu couldn't help but feel a little sad. If he had been as rich as he is now in his previous life.

I guess if I fry some cabbage for my daughter-in-law, she will smile and say it’s delicious.

Seeing that his mother-in-law had a good relationship with his sister-in-law, Li Duoyu felt relieved. The last thing he wanted to see in this life was for his relatives to be wronged.

Li Duoyu put down a can of jellyfish and warned: "When eating, soak it in vinegar water for more than two hours before eating it. If my sister-in-law wants to eat it, try to soak it for more than four hours."

"What are you thinking? How could you give it to your sister-in-law? If I had known you were here to give this thing, I would have let you go back."

"Hey hey hey."

Li Duoyu found that after living with his father for a long time, his mother would sometimes become a little "venomous".

"Let's go. After you help my sister-in-law with her confinement, I will come to pick you up."

"You don't have to come to pick me up. I can go back by myself."

When Li Duoyu came to the message room.

Maybe Lao Xu felt embarrassed to take Li Duoyu's things for free, so he hurried home and brought a bag of dried plums from his hometown.

"I don't have anything to give you, only this."

Seeing the dried plums, Li Duoyu couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "Thank you, Uncle Xu, this is a good thing, it's very appetizing."

"I'm glad you like it. I'll bring you more next time you come."

After Li Duoyu returned to the guesthouse, there were three old smokers in the room puffing out smoke, and the room was filled with a strong smell of tobacco.

When Zhang Jinbao saw Li Duoyu, he immediately said, "Duoyu, you're finally back."

"Let me introduce you to everyone. This is Li Duoyu who is preparing to export jellyfish."

The other two gave a thumbs up: "Awesome, this is the first time I heard that someone wants to export this stuff."

Zhang Jinbao smiled and introduced: "Duoyu, let me introduce you to Lin Qingyun, Boss Lin, who specializes in plastic shoes. You can buy shoes directly from him in the future, and you can get at least 50% off."

Li Duoyu hurriedly shook hands: "Boss Lin, hello."

"And this is Fang Ze Jiang, who specializes in transportation, knows many importers. You can ask him to help you contact the OEM factory. "

When he heard this name, Li Duoyu was slightly stunned and couldn't help asking: "Boss Fang, are you from Fuqing?"

Fang Zejiang looked puzzled: "How do you know I'm from Fuqing? Have we met before?"

Li Duoyu said: "No, I just heard the accent. I'm from the county next to you."

"So that's the case. I thought you knew me."

In fact, the name Fang Zejiang was very famous in their area in the previous life.

Not only was he the largest eel exporter, he was also the richest man in Fuqing City. It was also this person who led Brother Fuqing to start the African dream journey. In less than 20 years, Chinese supermarkets were opened in most of Africa.

Unfortunately, this person did not keep his integrity in his later years. After returning from Africa, he also learned from the big guys to engage in real estate and played a diversified drama, preparing to build a business empire.

The reason why Li Duoyu remembered this name so clearly was because of his second sister-in-law.

Because not long after Fang Zejiang entered the real estate industry, he found that this industry was very expensive.

The money he earned in Africa was not enough for him to burn, and bank loans also had problems, so he started to raise funds and borrow money from the public.

Because this person had a high reputation in the local area, everyone trusted him at that time, and people in nearby towns were happy to lend him money and then earn high interest.

But when the bubble was burst, the hundreds of thousands of yuan that the second sister-in-law had saved for more than ten years were all swept away, and Haoran's down payment for buying a house was directly wasted.

During that time, the second sister-in-law was almost crazy. She was sharpening her knife every day, and she kept shouting: "Cheat my money, kill Fang Zejiang, that bastard."

And people like the second sister-in-law who lost their own money were already very good. Li Duoyu remembered that at that time, many people played high leverage and directly borrowed money from the bank to lend him money.

When the market finally collapsed, several people even jumped directly from their own building because of this incident.

And Fang Zejiang was also sentenced to twelve years for contract fraud at the age of 65.

But when I think of that time, my second sister-in-law was sharpening knives every day. This person is probably safer in prison.

After everyone introduced themselves, Li Duoyu took out the bag of dried plums that Lao Xu gave him.

"Come and eat some dried plums."

Zhang Jinbao smiled bitterly and said, "This thing is delicious, but it's too sour. I don't even need to eat it. My teeth fall when I see it."

After everyone arrived, Zhang Jinbao coughed twice and said, "Since everyone is here, as a senior, I will tell you what the first step of foreign trade is?" (End of this chapter)
