In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Chapter 122 The Telegram (Subscribe)

Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao caught up with the passenger ship back to Dandan Island.

Due to arriving late.

There are no seats on the boat, so we can only stand, and this trip, everyone brought back a lot of things to the island, in a variety of ways.

All kinds of chickens and ducks, and even piglets.

Depending on the situation, everyone should go to the fair (xu).

Ganxu is the market in the south.

People call the market trading day established according to the lunar calendar "Weir Day", and when people go to the market to buy and sell, they call it "Gangxu Day".

In Shangfeng Town, the [-]rd and [-]th of the lunar calendar are fair days, and everyone can sell what they want to sell in the fair.

You can also buy all kinds of things you need in the fair, and have a tooth-making festival by the way, because at this time, some weird foods often appear.

Such as bamboo shoot jelly, fried bamboo elephant, crab sauce, and salted chicken fetus from the next city, but what Li Duoyu misses most is the iced rice in the hot summer.

Every year in summer, when the weather gets hotter, there will be vendors selling ice rice. They push a modified cart, ring a small bell, and shout from street to street:

"Iced rice, iced rice, cold iced rice."

There is also a thick iron cylinder on the cart, which contains homemade yellow sweet ice water.

At that time, everyone who knew the formula of sweet ice water regarded the formula as a treasure and would never tell outsiders.

If you only want to drink sweet ice water, a small glass is one cent, but you have to bring your own cup, and it costs two cents to fill the enamel cup.

In addition to sweet ice water, there are glutinous rice, watermelon, pineapple, raisins, grass jelly and other ingredients on the cart.

The ice rice is to spread a layer of cooked glutinous rice on the bottom, put seasonal fruits, raisins, grass jelly, etc., and finally add homemade ice water.

Powerful street vendors will go to the ice factory in Rongcheng to get two pieces of ice, cut the ice with a knife, and spread it on the fruit.

In the hot summer, if you come to a bowl of iced rice.

That was really cool.

In the past, when Li Duoyu was in junior high school in the town, this was his favorite food every summer. Sometimes when he ran out of money, he would borrow it from Zhou Xiaoying.

Speaking of which, the borrowed money has not been repaid until now. If I remember correctly, Zhou Xiaoying has been studying in the town for three years, and it seems that she has never eaten ice rice.

Another day, you can take her to eat.

……

In addition to these, there are many big-ticket items on board. For example, in the village, Lu Laosi, who is about to get married, is 30 years old and finally married his wife.

Just went to town and bought a complete set of furniture, brand new dressers and cabinets.

Li Duoyu remembered that there used to be a carpenter on the island, but it seemed that due to poor ingredients, in that era, he was directly killed.

After that, if people wanted furniture, they had to go to town to buy it.

Up to now, the tables and chairs of many fishermen on the island are very dilapidated, most of which were more than ten years ago.

The sins made by one's own village will be suffered by one's own.

As a result, if Li Duoyu wants to change to a big bed now, he can only go to the town.

Due to Li Duoyu's recent active performance and the fact that he has saved people, everyone is very polite to him.

Lao Xia, who specializes in raising pigs in the village, held a piglet in both hands and said to Li Duoyu:
"Duoyu, are you going to go to the fair today, why didn't I see you?"

Li Duoyu replied with a smile: "No, I went to the county."

"Did you go to the research institute again? Is there any good project? I still have a seat here. Would you like to come and sit together?"

As soon as Lao Xia finished speaking, someone next to him said: "Duoyu, don't sit next to him, his pig is seasick, vomiting and diarrhea, it's disgusting."

"Forget it, I still don't sit down, stand up, maybe I can grow taller."

"If you think too much about you, after a man's hair grows out, he won't be able to grow taller."

The people on the half-boat burst out laughing.

Lao Xia went on to say: "By the way, I was in the fair, and I saw old man Mi holding up a newspaper that took a photo with the leader, yelling to sell your kelp. There are many people queuing up to sell kelp."

"Old man Mi, I'm going to buy from you again in two days. Why don't you give it to me, and I want to sell it in Weili."

"I don't raise pigs anymore, I really want to sell them."

"I raise pigs every day, and I'm tired of raising them, so I do other things occasionally."

"If you really want to sell, come to me another day."

"Really, then you have to sell me cheaper."

While Li Duoyu was chatting with everyone, Youdao's figure with his head down got up from his seat, turned around and went to the stern.

And he just turned to leave.

A villager next to him shouted, "A Tai, you don't want to sit down anymore. I asked Duoyu to sit down. Don't you know Duoyu very well? You don't even want to say hello."

Li Duoyu looked along his line of sight, and found an unexpected old acquaintance, who was the Uncle Tai who sold his brown rope back then.

"Uncle Tai, long time no see."

Chen Atai glanced at him: "Well, I'm going to smoke a cigarette."

The last person he wants to see now is Li Duoyu.

In the past, he lost money in farming kelp, and was chased for debts. He kept complaining every day, saying that Chen Dongqing had harmed him.

Unexpectedly, Duoyu raised kelp and made a lot of money. Now many villagers began to complain that he didn't know how to raise kelp, and talked about it everywhere, which made everyone dare not raise it.

Recently, he has been like a mouse crossing the street, afraid that someone will say that he doesn't know how to raise kelp.

But today, when he went to the fair, he bought the brown rope again. As a result, the brown rope sold to Duoyu for 300 yuan at the beginning is now [-] yuan, and there are still a lot of people buying it, so he has to queue up to get the goods next month.

After seeing Li Duoyu, Chen Atai lost his mood to smoke, but he still asked: "Is your kelp easy to sell? I heard from the captain that you only sold for a quarter."

"That's what I deliberately suppressed and didn't sell."

Chen Atai frowned slightly: "Then how much money can I make this year?"

"A lot, it should be four times the investment."

After hearing this number.

Chen Atai instantly understood. He had raised kelp before, so he knew about four times the investment of [-] mu of kelp.

Really have enough regrets.

If he had listened to Dongqing back then and raised kelp well, he might be a millionaire now.

With the sound of "woo woo".

The passenger ship docked at the wharf of Dandan Island, and Lu Laosi, who bought new furniture, tied it up with hemp rope, carried the furniture on his back, and carried it home.

The people in the boat soon dispersed.

Li Duoyu said to Chen Wenchao: "These two days, after you finish your home affairs, go to Dazhu Village, buy a batch of big bamboo from Brother Ou, and repair our fishing raft."

"Understood, brother fish."

"I'm not afraid of motion sickness."

Chen Wenchao said with a smile: "Now Brother Ou, he always uses a motorcycle to drive me."

"Damn it, I want to go because of it."

When Li Duoyu returned to Dandan Island, it was already dark, so he hung the oysters on the stern of the boat and temporarily kept them in the sea.

"Brother Yu, then I'll go back first."

"Ah."

Li Duoyu hasn't arrived home yet.

Two hundred and five jumped up and down to Xiaopo to meet him, rubbed against his feet, licked them up, and made flattering noises.

It seems that this dog has a deep understanding of who his master is.

However, I have raised it for half a year, and its size has tripled, and now it weighs more than 20 catties.

Not long after Erbaiwu ran over, Li Haoran also ran over: "Uncle, you are back."

Li Duoyu suddenly thought of something and asked, "Haoran, you didn't let [-] run around."

"No, it's only here in our courtyard, and it didn't let it go out."

"You didn't lie to me, did you?"

"I dare not lie to you, uncle, if I lie to anyone."

Li Duoyu is relieved, otherwise dogs of this era like to eat in the latrine.

If you lick yourself after eating, it would be disgusting to think about it.

After he got home, Zhou Xiaoying, who heard Li Duoyu's voice, had already cooked him a meal in the kitchen: "Have you had dinner yet?"

"Have not eat yet."

"Then I'll heat it up for you."

"Where's Tutu?"

"Just finished drinking milk and fell asleep again. By the way, you have a telegram."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Xiaoying handed the telegram to Li Duoyu.

Li Duoyu took the telegram, and he found that as soon as he went out recently, letters would arrive immediately.

And this telegram was sent from Rongcheng, but the sender and address on it surprised Li Duoyu.

It was actually An Yuliang from the Rongcheng Commodity Distribution Company that I met when I was taking out a loan from the credit union half a year ago.

How did he know?
After Li Duoyu glanced at the delivery address, he couldn't help laughing, it said (received by Li Duoyu, who raises kelp in Dandan Island).

If it is written like this, even if there are people with the same name and surname in the village, it is estimated that the postman will not deliver the wrong person.

But at that time, Li Duoyu didn't seem to tell him his name.

Judging from the situation, he should have read the newspaper, and then he knew his name and wrote this telegram.

After Li Duoyu opened it, he found that although the telegram was very concise, it contained a lot of words.

Comrade Li, hello.

Excuse me, our company would like to purchase a batch of kelp. The purchase price is: [-] cents for first-class, [-] cents for second-class, and [-] cents for wild vegetables.

If you think the price is right, please write back to me. The next day after receiving the letter, I will go to the island to pick up the goods.
