In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Zhang Siyu's schooling problem was finally solved. When Zhou Xiaoying got home, she couldn't help but ask:

"You used to be indifferent to these things, why are you so positive now?"

"I'm just free." Li Duoyu replied casually. In fact, the reason why he helped the little girl had a lot to do with Zhou Xiaoying.

If she hadn't been a teacher, Li Duoyu would not have bothered to interfere in other people's family affairs.

Of course there are other reasons. That is, Li Duoyu became a little inflated after suddenly making so much money and always wanted to give back to society.

After all, he is now considered a wealthy man. If he only makes money but doesn't spend it out, he will really be targeted by criminals one day.

After all, there are a lot of people who are not afraid of death these days. In addition to helping the villagers get rich, Li Duo also has to spend some money to improve his social image.

Suddenly, Li Duoyu found that he was a bit like Boss Cao from his previous life.

But if you think about it, there is a difference. Li Duoyu is a very stingy person. Even if he really wants to donate money, he will not donate it to those charitable organizations casually.

Once he decides to donate, he must be clear about where every penny goes and make sure it is put into practice.

In his previous life, there was a female teacher whom he admired very much. She settled down in the deep mountains and sent those oppressed girls away one by one.

For girls living in the mountains, going out is indeed their best destination.

But in this era, it is the same for girls on the island. If they don't come out of it, their fate has already been determined. When they reach the age to get married, their parents may even put a price on it.

But when he returned home and was about to take a shower, Li Duoyu suddenly slapped his head and remembered something very important.

Zhou Xiaoying was very puzzled: "You are sick, why are you hitting yourself when you are fine?"

Li Duoyu said with emotion: "Comrade Xiaoying, I am sorry for you."

Zhou Xiaoying frowned and said, "Are you regretting this? How about I pay for Zhang Siyu's junior high school tuition?"

Li Duoyu said in a mean way, "No, it's mainly because I can't continue to fight with you tonight. I know you are quite dissatisfied with my performance today. I have something else tonight, so I can only satisfy you next time. You can sleep alone tonight."

Zhou Xiaoying was completely confused by what she said. She found that her husband was really crazy sometimes. What was going on?

The big boss has reminded us more than once about the grilled eel. Secretary Huang and Director Wu have also mentioned it.

I exported so many eels, but I actually forgot the most important thing. I'm probably going to be scolded to death.

Zhou Xiaoying frowned and looked at her watch: "It's so late, what else do you want to do?"

Li Duoyu said, "I'm going to grill some eels. Aren't we going to Rongcheng tomorrow? I'll send some to the leader."

Zhou Xiaoying was puzzled: "Can't you send it another day? Does it have to be tomorrow?"

Li Duoyu was silent for a while, then gave an analogy: "How should I explain it to you? It's like when I really want it, and you say another day, I feel like ants are crawling all over my body. Do you understand that feeling?"

Zhou Xiaoying was stunned for several seconds, and she suddenly realized that her husband’s literary talent was still good, but he was using it in the wrong place.

Li Duoyu ran to the dock in a hurry, wanting to deliver the grilled eels to his leader.

The most important thing now is to get the packaging bags of the grilled eels, and the packaging bags are at the aquatic product processing factory at Qingkou Wharf, so Li Duoyu had to go there overnight to get them.

As soon as he arrived at the dock, Li Duoyu found several little boys holding flashlights and shining them there.

Two other boys lowered the scoop net into the sea.

After a while, a boy shouted, "Here they come, here they come, there are so many, hurry up and pull up the scoop net."

As the boy holding the scoop net pulled it up, they were able to catch quite a few small fish.

A little boy excitedly tried to grab it, but he was hit by the bite and half of his face turned black. When the other children saw him being hit, they laughed happily.

But after seeing this scene, Li Duoyu frowned slightly. Based on his understanding of Dandan Island, if small pipefish could be caught here at the pier.

Then this year's Xiaoguan must be a good year, but sometimes, a good year is not a good thing for fishermen.

Sure enough, at the dock, several fishermen started arguing with the fishmonger Lao Mi Tou.

A fisherman named Jin Feng said, "Lao Mi, why are you getting more and more wicked? At this time last year, the price of small squid was 1.5 cents per pound, but now it's only 7 cents. We're making a lot of money, we can't even make back the money for the gas."

Lao Mi complained, "Your boat is just a rowboat, how much does it cost to buy oil? There are a lot of small tubes caught this year, and at this price, if a large number of small tubes are put on the market in a few days, you may have to lower the price."

"Damn, you fishmongers are really vampires. You only know how to lower the price."

Lao Mi was also very angry: "I didn't set the price. This is the price in Rongcheng right now. What can I do?"

"I wish the price of small tubes was higher so I could make more money, but there are so many small tubes this year, what can I do?"

Li Duoyu sighed. There was really nothing he could do if it came to New Year's Eve because there were too many small tubes.

But there are only so many people who eat small tubes, and we can't eat them for every meal. Besides, the real thing is to eat fresh food.

Once the novelty wears off.

It won’t taste the same if you eat it again, so it’s just like what Lao Mi said, the price will only get cheaper in the future.

But what Li Duoyu didn't expect was that Lao Mi suddenly complained to him: "Duoyu, your woman is really too cruel."

"what!!"

Li Duoyu was stunned: "Teacher Zhou, will he bully you?"

Lao Mi snorted, "Mr. Zhou is such a nice person, how could he bully others? I'm talking about Chen Yuansu."

Li Duoyu was offline for several seconds: "She has nothing to do with me, don't talk nonsense over there, be careful that her grandfather will catch you and put you in a small dark room."

Old Man Mi snorted, "I didn't say that. Now the fishmongers in Rongcheng are all saying that you are having an affair with her. Now we fishmongers are really about to be killed by her."

Li Duoyu frowned and said:

"How to say?"

Old Man Mi whispered, "My purchase price here is only 7 cents. Guess how much a pound of small squid sells for in Rongcheng Vegetable Market?"

Li Duoyu did some calculations and after deducting the transportation cost, he said, "It should be around 20 cents."

Old Man Mi sighed and said, "If it's 20 cents, we'll accept it. The price of a pound of small squid at the fish market is 40 cents."

Li Duoyu was a little surprised: "If the difference is so big, then you fishmongers will make a fortune."

Old Man Mi cursed on the spot: "We are making no money at all. The purchase price is now monopolized by the big buyers. Our small tubes are shipped to Rongcheng Wharf, and at most one pound is only ten cents. All the money is taken away by that woman Chen Yuansu."

Li Duoyu was stunned for a few seconds.

After Manager An left, it seems that Xinyuan Seafood has the final say on pricing in the Rongcheng Seafood Market.

However, for Li Duoyu, this is also very normal. Capitalists would rather pour out the milk than sell it cheaply.

Didn’t she invest so much money to integrate these fishmongers just to become a legal “fishing tyrant”?

Old Man Mi sighed and said, "Now many fishmongers are scolding you, saying that if you hadn't helped her and chased Manager An away, the market wouldn't be so chaotic."

Li Duoyu's face darkened: "What does it have to do with me? I signed an agreement with her. If I don't help her, who can I help?"

"You are right to think so. Others don't think so. When others scold her, they will also scold you. Anyway, I have scolded you no less than 30 times today."

"Your uncle's."

Li Duoyu was quite speechless. What is this called: You are sitting at home and the pot falls from the sky.

The reputation has been damaged!

But even though the price of small squid is only seven cents per pound, there are still many fishing boats on the sea that catch small squid.

Small tubes can be found in many places, but the small tubes from Dandan Island are particularly good, just like the anchovies produced in Qixing Bay, which are obviously better than those from other places.

Since Xiasha Village broke some rules, fishermen from other villages have also been relaxed.

Fishing boats are running to the waters near Dandan Island to catch small squid. Looking around, there are at least seventy or eighty fishing boats. With so many fishing boats, the yield must be huge.

If Chen Yuansu refuses to sell at a low price, there will soon be a situation of "supply exceeding demand", and at that time, the situation of "low fish prices hurting farmers" will inevitably occur.

That is, in years of bumper harvest, fishermen's income actually decreases.

Sure enough, when Li Duoyu arrived at the Qingkou Wharf, he found that many fishing boats were queuing up to sell small squid.

In the past, fishmongers were always scrambling to buy them, but now they are not in a hurry at all and are trying every means to lower the price.

The Zhao brothers were arguing with the fishmonger: "You can't do this. Why are you still charging for peeling this year?"

The fishmonger said, "It's up to you whether you want to sell it or not. If you don't peel it, I'll just take it away."

Zhao Dahai had no other choice: "Just peel it, damn it, it's really black to my heart."

Li Duoyu's fishing boat was particularly eye-catching. As soon as he docked, acquaintances came over immediately.

Li Shuguang, Li Qingguang and Shitou, who were still queuing to sell small pipes, saw his fishing boat and jumped onto his boat.

Li Shuguang asked curiously: "Duoyu, why are you still here so late?"

"I came to the processing plant to get something."

Li Duoyu asked casually: "The price of small pipes seems to be a bit bad this year."

Li Shuguang sighed helplessly: "There are too many small tubes this year. I caught hundreds of kilograms in one net, but the price is really not good. An hour ago, it was 7 cents, but now it has become 6 cents."

Shitou looked at the densely packed fishing boats and said, "Damn it! There are too many fishing boats imitating our way of catching small squid this year. The quantity is too large. If this continues, we will all be finished."

Li Duoyu nodded. This situation was predictable. After all, the number of fishing boats in Shangfeng Town had doubled in the past two years alone.

Li Shuguang went on to say, "Forget it. I won't make any money this year. After I sell this boat, I won't catch any more. Are you free tonight? We haven't gotten together for a long time. How about we have a drink together tonight?"

Li Duoyu thought about it:

"Of course you can, but I can't drink too much at night. I have to sail to Rongcheng tomorrow."

"So here at the dock, or go back to the island."

Li Duoyu replied: "Let's go back to the island and come directly to the eel factory. My second brother happens to be at the eel factory. He can have a few more drinks with you."

"That's fine."

Shitou said, "Then I'll leave some of the small tubes for us to have a seafood dinner tonight."

He has been really depressed recently. Sister Shanshan seems to have come out of the shadow of domestic violence and smiles more often.

But her love for him became less and less, and sometimes he even wished for another typhoon so that he could legitimately help her repair the house.

"See you later then."

Li Duoyu is very familiar with the processing plant. Even if Director Liu is not there, he can quickly get the plastic bags for packaging the eels.

Then he rushed back to the eel factory and just happened to see his second brother Li Yaoguo and Chen Wenchao feeding the eels.

Eels that were black on top and white on the bottom were scrambling to eat the food. Seeing this, Li Duoyu scooped up a few eels with the scoop net.

Not more, not less, just over a hundred. After catching the eels, Li Duoyu put them into ice water on the spot.

Since Dandan Island was powered on, the equipment at the eel factory has also been upgraded. The biggest change is the addition of two large freezers.

With a freezer, things become very convenient. For example, the kabayaki eel sauce that they prepared for the reception of County Magistrate Tao does not need to be thrown away if it is not used up. It can be frozen directly.

There are also some large sea creatures that are not easy to get at ordinary times, which can also be put in the freezer. Now there is a yellow croaker weighing more than 40 kilograms in his freezer.

But since the factory got the freezer, the person who uses it the most is actually my mother, who often brings all kinds of food to freeze it.

If I make too much noodles and can't finish them, I'll bring them here to freeze. If I make too much rice cakes and don't want to give them away, I'll bring them here to freeze too.

Li Duoyu wouldn't listen no matter what was said. She just wanted to freeze anything that could be frozen.

A few days ago, I even wanted to freeze the watermelon. Fortunately, Li Duoyu discovered it early, otherwise I would have been eating crushed watermelon smoothie.

There are now two freezers, and more than one of them is filled with A Niang's frozen food, which makes Li Duoyu quite speechless.

Li Duoyu put the caught eels in ice water and froze them unconscious first.

Then, he showed off his swift, accurate and ruthless knife skills in front of his second brother and Chen Wenchao. No eel could survive more than ten seconds in front of Li Duoyu.

A chop,

One stroke,

all.

The eel, which was originally alive and kicking, turned into a piece of fish meat of uniform thickness in the blink of an eye.

For Li Duoyu, it doesn't matter whether he roasts fifty eels or a hundred eels, the difference is not that big.

If we have to say what the difference is between him and the Eel Immortal, there is one: the Eel Immortal wants fame, while those of them who work illegally want efficiency.

During the more than 20 years of working illegally, Li Duoyu has grilled a lot of eels.

As the charcoal fire became stronger, Li Duoyu placed the skewered eels on the grill.

Just at this time, Li Shuguang, Shitou and others arrived at the eel factory.

What surprised Li Duoyu the most was that his uncle was also there.

Chen Dongqing looked at him with a dark face: "You are such a dog. I worked so hard to look after the shrimp farm and make delicious food for you, but you didn't even tell me to leave."

"How would I know? You were in a shrimp farm. I thought you were back to pay your taxes."

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Li Shuguang looked at Chen Dongqing in surprise: "Dongqing is so miserable. He is still paying at this age. Unlike me, I have stopped paying a long time ago. It is more practical to pay now."

Chen Dongqing's mouth twitched: "I'm not even thirty yet, okay."

Li Shuguang was stunned: "You dress so formally every day, I thought you were almost forty."

Shitou sighed, "I really envy you guys. I can't even make friends if I want to."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "As long as you change your taste, you are the youngest among us, and it's no problem to have sex once a day."

Shitou smiled and said firmly: "No, I have liked it for so long, it would be a big loss if I suddenly change it now."

Li Duoyu shook his head and sighed.

What Li Duoyu was more curious about was that his uncle was in Qixing Bay, while his eldest cousin and his friends were at Qingkou Wharf, which was quite far away from each other, so how did they get together?

Li Duoyu looked at them and found that one person was missing, and he understood immediately.

This kid Li Qingguang probably didn't return to the island, but went to the shrimp farm, so my uncle came here.
