In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Chapter 123

After reading the telegram.

Seeing Zhou Xiaoying's curious look, Li Duoyu told her, "I want to buy kelp."

"real."

Zhou Xiaoying's face was full of smiles. After knowing that there were still a lot of kelp in the warehouse, she was still a little worried, fearing that it would not be sold.

Li Duoyu nodded.

"Why am I lying to you? Your husband's kelp is very easy to sell. Others are rushing to ask for it, and I'm not willing to give it to you."

"Just blow it."

Li Duoyu finished his dinner.

From the drawer, he took out a business card, then took an envelope and letter paper, and then used his wife's hero brand pen.

Simply write a letter.

The general idea is: the price is OK, after receiving the letter, you can go to the island to pick up the goods, and I will wait for you near the pier these days.

After finishing writing, Li Duoyu stuffed the letter into an envelope, sealed the mouth of the letter with rice paste, and pasted a two-cent local landscape stamp.

Then go to the pier and drop the letter into the dark green mailbox.

In this day and age, if people want to contact each other, they can only use letters. There are quite a lot of letters coming in and out of the island every day.

But because there is a passenger ship, the postman on the island will usually come to collect the letter in the morning and then deliver it to the town.

If it was only sent to Rongcheng, the letter should be received in about two or three days.

After sending the letter.

Li Duoyu was in a good mood, so he sat on the pier and smoked a cigarette.

Speaking of which, he managed to quit smoking in his previous life, but he didn't want to be with these old smokers, so he lit up again.

The smoke of this era is full of flavor.

Very high.

And while he was smoking, he noticed that someone was fishing with a flashlight on the other side of the pier.

Then he walked over to have a look.

Li Duoyu remembers that in this era, fishermen on the seaside are still relatively rare.

The key is that the quality of fishing gear and rods is not good, not to mention carbon fiber, you can’t see fiberglass, and most of them are bamboo rods.

Catching hairtail, squid, and some small fish is okay, if you really catch a ten or twenty catty sea wolf fish, or a grouper that likes to drill holes.

It is inevitable to explode the pole and cut the line.

The most fundamental reason restricting the sea fishing industry at that time was fishing lines and hooks.

The fishing line that no one can choose in later generations is simply a luxury for the line fishermen, while the domestically produced transparent fishing line has very poor pulling force.

Don't even think about catching big fish. If you exert all your strength, you will inevitably break the pole and break the thread.

If you use the kind of silver fishhook with a circle, it is even more negative, and there is always a link that makes you go wrong.

Fortunately, Dandan Island has been in contact with the "outside" early, and there are more "things" that can be exchanged, such as his bundle of longline fishing rigs.

Everything from the line to the hook is "imported goods" from the island country, which is the fundamental reason why he was able to catch that big bass in the first place.

Therefore, in this year, most fishermen with boats are fishing with hand ropes, and those who have conditions are directly hooked.

After all, fishermen make a living by fishing, and they don't enjoy the fun of fishing very much. Most of them are ruthless fishing machines.

After approaching.

The person who found the fisherman was Xiaojin, the eldest son of the village butcher, who was the same age as his cousin Qingguang.

The fishing rod in his hand is quite delicate, it is made of osmanthus bamboo, the whole fishing rod has turned yellow and covered with pulp, it seems that it has been maintained.

It is about five meters long, and I also made a fishing reel and a line group by myself.

When Xiao Jin saw Li Duoyu coming, his face was full of smiles.

"Brother Yu, you are also at the pier."

The recent popularity of kelp has also led to a very good business in his family's meat stall. When his father recently talked about Li Duoyu, he kept praising him.

"It's cool here at night, come out for a walk, what fish did you catch?"

Xiao Jin laughed: "I didn't catch a few, just a few small milk bass, pike and two small groupers."

"Not bad, so much fishing."

Xiaojin grinned and said, "How can Brother Yu be so good, Mi, your big bass slide last time is still the highest record in our village."

Li Duoyu said: "Do you want to fish, I will take you there next time?"

Xiao Jin shook his head and said, "My set of fishing gear is no good. It's not a problem to get a ten-jin fishing gear. If you get a twenty-jin fishing gear, the fishing rod and line will be ruined."

While the two of them were chatting, the fishing reel suddenly turned quickly, and kept going out of the line.

Xiao Jin was a little anxious.

He lifted the pole directly, but after a while, the bamboo pole was bent into a U shape, and the handle of the self-made fishing boat was pulled by a huge force.

There was a "pop".

The wooden handle on the fishing reel actually broke off.

Xiaojin was so anxious that his head was covered with sweat, and he wrapped his palms around the fishing reel that kept coming out of the line.

Li Duoyu frowned slightly. This fish is probably not small, at least twenty or thirty kilograms, from the speed of exiting the line and the direction of escape.

Li Duoyu felt that this fish must not be a grouper, otherwise it would have drilled like an old dog, and it was more likely to be bass and sea wolf fish.

Once this kind of marine fish is frightened, it will swim towards the deep water of the open sea.

"Damn, I caught another big fish."

Most people are very excited to catch a big fish, but Xiao Jin has a bitter face, because he has to make a choice next.

The secant can keep the rest of the fishing line. If you fight hard, see if you can pull the fish up.

But he bought these fishing lines at a high price, and now the "sold goods" are gone, and these imported fishing lines are getting more and more expensive.

After thinking for a while.

Xiao Jin took out a pair of small silver folding scissors from his pocket, ready to cut off the fishing line.

See him cutting the fishing line.

Li Duoyu hurriedly said: "Wait, let me try."

"Okay, Brother Yu will replace you."

Xiao Jin, who was holding the fishing reel, quickly handed the bamboo pole to Li Duoyu.

Li Duoyu, who took the fishing rod, held the broken fishing reel on the spot, and immediately felt the huge pulling force of the big fish.

Fortunately, in the past six months, my palms are full of calluses and I have a lot of strength when I often work.

After taking the fishing rod.

Li Duoyu erected the fishing rod on the spot, and found that the fish was struggling hard, so he gave way to the line a little to prevent the rod from bursting.

Tired of struggling.

He just used his thick palm to turn the fishing reel a few times to bring back the line. At the same time, he controlled the direction of the fish so as not to let it go under the fishing boat and prevent the fishing line from touching the propeller tangent.

Xiao Jin on the side was stunned after seeing Li Duoyu fishing like this.

Only two words popped into my mind.

"Brilliant."

No wonder Brother Yu was able to catch that big bass back then. It seemed that it was not luck, but skill.

Due to the broken fishing vessel, the entire tug-of-war process lasted for nearly 10 minutes.

The last big silver fish floated helplessly near the pier.

Li Duoyu also felt that his right hand was almost useless, it was sore and numb, and the equipment was a bit crude, but the fish slipped very comfortably.

After seeing the fish being slipped over.

Xiao Jin hurriedly fished the big fish ashore with a net, and found that it was a rice fish that came to steal food near the pier.

About 25 catties like this.

If it weren't for the imported fishing line and hooks used by Xiao Jin, the fish probably wouldn't be able to be caught today.

After Xiao Jin picked up the fish, he hesitated for a while, and brought it to Li Duoyu.

"Brother Yu, you caught this fish, here it is."

See his resigned expression.

"Why are you being polite to me? My family has a lot of fish, and it's not bad for yours."

"Hey, thank you Brother Yu."

Xiao Jin hurriedly put the whitened rice fish into the water and gave it "artificial respiration".

Seeing that it turned around and gained vitality, I put it in the net bag and kept it here at the pier temporarily, because only fresh fish can be sold at a high price, if it dies for too long.

If the fishmongers see that the color of the gills is not good, they will not take the fish.

And this rice fish can be sold for at least five yuan, plus the bass and small grouper he caught, he can earn seven or eight yuan tomorrow.

If put before.

He usually hangs the net bag directly on the side of the pier, and will come to sell fish after dawn.

It used to be because there were not many fish.

He wasn't afraid of being stolen, but this time he caught a big fish, and the kids at the nearby pier might have seen it too. He was afraid that if he walked away, the fish would even slip through the net bag on the back.

So, Xiao Jin made a decision to catch it all night tonight and make a good fortune.

And I just learned some tricks of catching big fish from Brother Yu.

Next time he catches a big fish, he will not cut the line again, and he is confident in pulling the big fish up.

And Li Duoyu went home after seeing Lao Gao on the moon, because the brat at home became more and more noisy at night.

Occasionally I have to help out.

　Ask for monthly tickets and recommendation tickets, thank you everyone.
