1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

There really wasn't anything big on the beach, and Li Duoyu was too lazy to scoop out the water in that puddle. Not to mention it was time-consuming and laborious, and maybe the air force.

Most of the videos of pumping waterholes in previous lives were pre-arranged scripts.

Speaking of which, Li Duoyu was also a member of the crew, but he did not appear in front of the camera. Instead, he was responsible for providing props to the anchors.

When Li Duoyu pulled the floor cage, he obviously felt very heavy. The two brothers did not disappoint him.

I was very willing to spend money and used pig lungs directly as bait. The ground cage was full, not only fish but also shrimp, all of which were good products.

And there is also the spicy sea strips that Li Duoyu hates the most. Fortunately, he discovered them early, otherwise he would be no joke if he took a bite of them.

After seeing this thing, Li Duoyu helped the two brothers get rid of it. The hot pepper strips were really powerful in the water.

But as soon as it landed, it was immediately useless. As soon as Li Duoyu picked it up, it was immediately attacked by several seabirds.

Li Duoyu didn't take everything in the cage, but took away the best seafood, such as orchid crabs, shrimps, octopus and so on.

Li Duoyu returned the remaining oxtail fish, mullet and the like. Although it was unethical to take other people's things, he had a bottom line. At least he kept half of it for the two brothers and returned it. Help them rearrange the ground cage.

However, what Li Duoyu didn't know was that the Zhao brothers had just returned from collecting the cage from the other side.

Just when Li Duoyu was about to touch the floor cage, Zhao Erniu had already noticed it and raised a stone to hit it on the spot.

Fortunately, Zhao Dahai stopped him in time: "You are crazy, look who that is."

Because Li Duoyu kept bending over, Zhao Erniu didn't see clearly until he saw the person's face clearly.

Zhao Erniu's eyes widened and he whispered: "Brother, why did you steal our cage?"

Zhao Dahai said disgustedly: "Can you speak? Is it appropriate to use the word steal on Brother Yu?"

"Remember what the elder brother told us when we two brothers were in jail? Once a person's status reaches a certain level, it is not called stealing, but taken."

Zhao Erniu nodded. During those few months, the two brothers fully understood one thing. This was a world with strict hierarchies.

Just like the boss in that prison, everyone would take the initiative to send good things over without even having to steal or rob.

There were even a few tender-skinned ones who would take the initiative to sleep on his bed at night.

Zhao Erniu looked at the freshly caught sea fish in his bucket, grinned and said, "Brother, do you think we should get some good stuff for Brother Fish?"

Zhao Dahai rolled his eyes and said:

"Hurry up and find a woman. You don't understand anything at all. Let me ask you something. What are you most afraid of after fishing and hunting turtles?"

Zhao Erniu understood instantly.

"It means Brother Yu didn't catch anything, so he came to steal our cage."

"Take, not steal."

"How many times do I have to tell you, don't mention this in the future, do you know? Otherwise, if you let Brother Yu know, be careful not to make us rich in the future."

Li Duoyu returned to the beach carrying a bucket of seafood. He felt a little cold behind his back, but he was completely unaware that there were two pairs of eyes not far away staring at him.

With these seafood, you can make a decent seafood dinner.

When Li Duoyu came back, the sun was already setting, and Chen Wenchao, who was holding his daughter, was already waving to him.

"Brother Yu, the sweet potatoes are already roasted."

When Li Duoyu placed a bucket full of seafood in front of everyone, everyone opened their mouths.

"Uncle, you are so powerful, you have caught so many."

Little Fatty and Little Tutu instantly became fans, observing his bucket of seafood and poking one of the big red octopuses with a wooden stick.

Unexpectedly, this big octopus was so fierce, and instead grabbed the branch. Its tentacles climbed up the branch and touched little Tutu's hand, which shocked him.

The village party secretary Chen Jianghe looked at the scattered little clams in his bucket and couldn't help but sigh.

Although he has lived on the island for half a year, to be honest, nine times out of ten he has missed the boat.

He was quite satisfied with catching so many this time, but it was completely incomparable to Director Li's bucket.

There was a whole bucket full of not only sea fish, but also crabs and shrimps, octopus, eels, and all kinds of things.

After seeing so many varieties, Lian Chen Jianghe couldn't help but think, can these really be caught by hand?

But when I think about Li Duoyu, this person is a bit evil, maybe it is really possible.

Previously, like most people, he felt that Li Duoyu's jellyfish would definitely not fetch a high price.

So I didn't pay much attention to it and didn't report the situation to the leaders. As a result, not only was it exported, but it was also sold for a sky-high price of three yuan per catty.

The day after the county leaders found out, Magistrate Tao called him to the county committee and scolded him.

Probably because they did not report this matter in advance, the foreign exchange order for jellyfish was snatched away by the Fisheries Bureau.

Nowadays, the county leaders require him to report on his work every three days, and Li Duoyu must follow up immediately whenever he makes a big move.

He also gave a fatal order that he must have a good relationship with Li Duoyu no matter what, and strive to ensure that every foreign trade export of Minlong Food must be firmly registered in the county.

This was also the reason why when he heard that Li Duoyu was going to beg Xiaohai, he immediately ran over with a bucket in hand.

Chen Jianghe didn't feel that before, but now he feels that working with excellent people is really stressful, so much so that if he doesn't do something, he will be like a transparent person.

Zhou Xiaoying, who also had experience in fishing, glanced at Li Duoyu's bucket of seafood and instantly understood what was going on.

She believed that marine fish, crabs, eels, dog sharks and the like could be picked up in the reef area.

It was a bit unbelievable that so many sea shrimps could be caught, or they had just secretly gone to the dock to buy them.

They had been together for so many years, and Zhou Xiaoying thought it was possible. However, seeing that these seafood were still alive and kicking, it was estimated that the probability of them being picked up from someone else's net was relatively high. I just don't know whose net was so unlucky that he picked it up.

Seeing that he was so stubborn, Zhou Xiaoying was too lazy to point it out and let him pretend for a while.

At this time, a thin little boy came over with a sweet potato that was half roasted into charcoal.

"Uncle Li, eat roasted sweet potatoes."

Li Duoyu smiled at the handsome little boy in front of him. This time, Lin Shanshan and her son were responsible for roasting the sweet potatoes.

He only knew that Lin Shanshan's son's surname was Xiao. He forgot his specific name, but his nickname seemed to be Winter Melon.

Although Xiao Weidong was imprisoned because he stole oysters from his family, the child was very sensible and did not hate him at all. On the contrary, he was very grateful to him.

It can be said that the reason why Lin Shanshan was so strong was also closely related to this child.

The main reason was that the child had always been very well behaved and was also a little warm boy. Even if everyone went to the beach to play, he chose to stay and help his mother roast sweet potatoes.

Families like Lin Shanshan often make children mature in advance. After all, with such a father, it is difficult not to be mature.

Li Duoyu was really impressed by the little boy in front of him.

But it was in the previous life.

At that time, not long after Li Duoyu came back from the island country, he went to Rongcheng with Xiaoying to help take care of the child.

I remember that at that time, Lin Shanshan had developed very well and was a barrister, and her son, the Winter Melon in front of him, was much better than his son and opened a company in Rongcheng.

As soon as he knew they had arrived in Rongcheng, he immediately held a banquet to entertain them in person.

Donggua, the child, gave Li Duoyu the overall feeling that he was like someone who would think of holding an umbrella for others after being caught in the rain.

But in the final analysis, Li Duoyu still felt that Lin Shanshan had educated him well, otherwise such an unfortunate original family would be contagious to the next generation.

Although the baked sweet potatoes were not good-looking, each one was as black as charcoal, but this kind of baked sweet potatoes that would smear your mouth black were definitely the sweetest.

Not long after Li Duoyu came back, the eldest aunt and the third aunt also came back. Their goal was very clear, which was to pry rock oysters.

Although this kind of rock oyster is small, it tastes very delicious and is very suitable for making oyster soup.

There is also the oyster omelet on the Ludao side. The most authentic one must use this kind of rock oyster. If you use the farmed ones like Li Duoyu, you will definitely not be able to make that taste.

As the sun began to slowly turn red. The second brother and the second sister-in-law also came back.

No one knew what the two had done. After they came to the beach, they ignored their little fat boy and disappeared.

When they came back, they didn't have any seafood in their hands. When others asked, they just walked around.

But Li Duoyu felt that something was wrong with his second brother. He ate four or five roasted sweet potatoes in a row when he came back, even though he hated sweet potatoes the most.

Zhou Xiaoying looked at the gorgeous beach in front of her and couldn't help but be fascinated. Then she pouted and looked at Li Duoyu.

I don't know how long it has been.

She hasn't walked on such a beach with Li Duoyu since she returned to the village to be a primary school teacher.

This guy is very active and often comes to the beach with her. It seems like it was six or seven years ago.

Zhou Xiaoying was about to ask if she wanted to bring the camera over. She planned to take a photo with them in the sunset.

Unexpectedly, Li Duoyu counted the heads on the spot, and when he saw that everyone was here, he said directly:

"The Zhongyuan Festival is coming soon, pack up your things and go home early. Come to my house for dinner tonight. I will make delicious food for everyone and let you try the raw pickled poison from Chaoshan."

Li Haoran looked puzzled and kept blinking: "Uncle, can raw pickled poison be eaten?"

Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the word he said was too advanced for them now.

Li Duoyu didn't want to explain too much: "Anyway, you will know after eating it, but children can't eat it."

Li Haoran said: "Why?"

"It's called poison. If you eat too much, you will definitely have diarrhea."

"Hehe, then I will eat less."

After returning to the village, the eldest aunt and the third aunt did not go to Li Duoyu for dinner, but went back to their own home.

When they left, they also gave him some oysters. The two of them are the main cooks at home. If they don't go home to cook. It is estimated that the families of the eldest uncle and the third uncle would rush directly to his house for dinner.

After Li Duoyu led a group of people home, the first thing that Xiao Tutu did was to turn on the air conditioner, and a group of people watched TV in the living room with the air conditioner on.

That was quite comfortable.

It is easy to have conflicts when adults and children watch TV together, because children definitely like to watch cartoons.

Adults prefer to watch TV series, and in this era, children's voices are often meaningless.

In the end, the TV played the book "Four Generations Under One Roof" written by Lao She, which is a relatively heavy TV series.

Just as he said this afternoon, he cooked himself and first made some common steamed seafood.

There was also a plate of cucumber jellyfish, a plate of old vinegar jellyfish heads, some sauced blood clams and a plate of crispy sea intestines.

Then, he cleaned all the seafood today and put some ice cubes to chill.

If you want to make raw pickled poison, you must have enough ingredients. There is really no lemon on the island. Fortunately, the old Hu family next door seemed to have planted some basil some time ago.

It’s okay without lemon, but without this thing, the raw pickled poison is like lacking soul.

It just so happened that the neighbor old Hu was not at home these days. He went to help his son in the county town to look after the store and take care of the children.

Li Duoyu came directly to his door and blew a simple whistle. The dog in his house who was responsible for guarding the house came to open the door for him with his tail wagging.

Seeing Li Duoyu pulling the grass that he didn’t like, the big black dog wanted to help him pull it all out personally.

Li Duoyu patted its head: "Good performance, I will give you a few bones to chew tomorrow."

The big black dog seemed to understand, barked happily twice, and then went back to sleep.

When Li Duoyu finished the Chaoshan raw pickle and the food, it was already past seven o'clock.

"Don't watch it, it's time to eat."

But this group of people insisted on watching the whole episode before they were willing to come to eat, and even his father Lao Li was the same.

When eating, looking at half of the table of raw seafood, Lao Li shook his head on the spot, saying that he would definitely not eat it.

Zhou Xiaoying also frowned, raw blood clams, raw sea intestines, and raw prawns and crabs.

"Are these really edible?"

Li Duoyu nodded and said: "The taste is good, but everyone's physical fitness is different, I really can't guarantee that you won't have diarrhea."

At first, everyone thought that Li Duoyu's jellyfish was not delicious, until after eating it, they discovered a new world.

Raw blood clams are often eaten during the Chinese New Year, so there is not much pressure.

But they rarely eat raw sea cucumbers, orchid crabs, and shrimps.

But when everyone was hesitating, the fat boy was the first to eat the raw pickled shrimps. His eyes lit up instantly and he couldn't help saying, "It's really sweet, the meat is soft and crunchy, it's really delicious."

"I'll try it too."

"It tastes really good, the taste of this shrimp is pretty good."

"This sea cucumber is simply the best."

After all, everyone is a seaside person. As long as they overcome the psychological barriers, these raw pickled poisons will immediately become delicacies.

After Li Haoran finished eating a raw pickled shrimp, he completely fell in love with the taste: "I want to learn from my uncle to be a chef in the future."

Zhu Xiuhua patted his head: "Your uncle is a boss, not a chef."

That night, everyone ate very happily, and Li Haoran finally plucked up the courage and went home as he wished.

But as soon as he got home, he regretted it.

Because once you leave the air-conditioned room, the place bitten by the jellyfish starts to itch at night, and the fan doesn't work.

Li Haoran, who can't scratch, can only soak his feet in cold water, and he cries in pain: "Dad, why don't we buy an air conditioner."

Li Yaoguo sighed: "Where can I get the money?"

But what Li Yaoguo didn't expect was that Zhu Xiuhua actually said: "I think we can buy an air conditioner, so you don't have to sleep on the floor."

"Anyway, I don't have money, you can buy it yourself."

Zhu Xiuhua smiled and said: "Don't think that you hide the money with Duoyu, so I don't know you have shares in the eel factory."

Li Yaoguo was stunned. If he didn't say anything about the shares, no one would know.

Seeing Li Yaoguo's surprised expression, Zhu Xiuhua said angrily: "I just tricked you, I didn't expect you really have it."

Li Yaoguo quickly laughed and said: "No."

Zhu Xiuhua snorted: "Don't pretend, I've asked around, Chen Wenchao and Zhang Mingsheng both have it, you are in charge of the eel factory and finance, how could you not have it."

Li Yaoguo frowned and looked at his wife, always feeling that she was taught a lesson by Zhang Sanming, her brain obviously worked much better.

Since she found out, there was really no point in continuing to lie to her: "I do have a little share."

Zhu Xiuhua said excitedly: "How much?"

"Not much, just a little bit, in addition to wages, I can probably get a few thousand yuan a year."

Li Yaoguo didn't dare to tell Zhu Xiuhua that after selling the eels this time, he would have more money than the average millionaire.

Zhu Xiuhua thought for a while and said, "Then let's pool our money and build a new house this year, and then buy an air conditioner next year. When I get pregnant, it will be easier to have an air conditioner."

Li Yaoguo's face was dark. He didn't want a second son before, but now he was hoping that she would get pregnant quickly and stop torturing herself.

If she still didn't get pregnant next month, Li Yaoguo planned to go to Rongcheng to see a young Chinese doctor recommended by Li Duoyu to see what was wrong.

Li Haoran on the side was silent!

I thought my mother wanted to buy an air conditioner for me, but it turns out that she has always wanted another brother. (End of this chapter)
