In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Chapter 226 Great Cooldown

The thunderstorm is getting heavier and heavier.

When Li Duoyu ran to the Moso Bamboo Factory, his whole body was already wet.

Fortunately, Dad and Chen Wenchao were very agile, and almost all the dried oysters were put into the factory.

Dried oysters are very afraid of being exposed to the rain, especially those that have just been exposed to the sun for a few days. Once they are exposed to the rain, if the rainwater is not evaporated in time, they will easily become moldy and deteriorate.

But the worst thing was the eel pond. As the rain became heavier, the pond was filled with water, and the clods became muddy, making it impossible to dig.

Villagers digging eel ponds also ran to the Moso Bamboo Factory to take shelter from the rain.

For a time, the Moso Bamboo Factory was crowded with people, most of their clothes were wet, and everyone was cursing the weather.

"It's almost the winter solstice, why is it raining so heavily?"

"When the rain comes, it may not be possible to dig the pond for a week or two."

Li Duoyu had a wry smile on his face. Just now he thought it was interesting to watch others collect clothes and dried fish, but he didn't expect that he was the one showing off the most seafood on the island.

And everyone is in a hurry.

The victim, Li Duoyu, didn't seem particularly anxious.

"It's raining so hard, why are you not in a hurry at all?"

Li Duoyu smiled helplessly.

"Used to it."

"You have a really good attitude."

A middle-aged man said: "If you have a bad mentality, do you dare to invest so much money in raising eels?"

Li Zhengtian looked at these dried oysters with worry on his face. Raw dried oysters are very difficult to eat, and Lao Li's oysters are very fat.

Do not stay in the sun for more than half a month.

It is easy to deteriorate.

Looking at the continuous heavy rain, Lao Li was also very melancholy, but he had no choice but to ask Lao Si.

"Duoyu, I guess it will rain for several days. If this continues, oysters will not work. Is there anything you can do?"

Li Duoyu frowned. In fact, he was also anxious, but being anxious was of no use.

For farmers.

You can work hard on anything.

As for the weather, your efforts will be of no use.

Li Duoyu was once anxious when he watched his abalone breeding raft being blown apart by a typhoon.

But it's useless to rush to death.

Extreme weather will not weaken just because you are anxious. The most important thing now is how to minimize the damage.

The eel pond is flooded.

After draining, just dig again.

At worst, the construction period will be postponed for half a month, and it is okay to raise eels later.

But the first thing to solve now should be the problem of dried oysters.

After his batch of oysters is dried and dried, it will weigh about [-] kilograms, and each kilogram can be sold for one yuan.

If all are sold.

Have an income of at least 600 yuan.

Next, if it's raining, there's really no way to dry the oysters. If they get moldy, they probably don't want to give them away.

Li Duoyu made a prompt decision and shouted to the villagers taking shelter from the rain:
“Because it’s raining and we can’t dry them in the sun, the dried oysters are on sale at a very high price, so we can sell them cheaply. We can fry them, fry them, or make oyster omelette.”

"After this day, the price will no longer exist."

When Li Duoyu shouted, everyone looked over and were a little confused as to why they suddenly started selling dried oysters.

But I heard there is a special offer.

Someone couldn't help but ask first.

“The big sale is very cheap, isn’t it?”

Li Duoyu replied with a smile, "Seven cents a catty."

"Why are your dried oysters still so wet, so expensive?"

The villagers echoed:
"Village director, you can't do this. There's no special price here. It's obviously not much cheaper."

Li Duoyu chuckled: "Since you say that, then I will suffer a little loss and just sell you fifty cents."

After hearing the price, the villagers became excited instantly.

"It's about the same price."

"But I didn't bring any money. Can I exchange it with today's wages?" "Yes, no problem at all."

"Then I want four pounds."

"I want three pounds."

After seeing Li Duoyu start selling oysters, Chen Wenchao immediately ran back home in the rain and brought a steel scale. .

Most of the villagers on the island have eaten their oysters, and the taste is really good. The shelled oysters cost ten cents per catty.

This kind of sun-dried one sells for [-] cents, which is definitely a bargain. Seeing that more and more people are buying it, some people who are still hesitating also shout out.

"I want two pounds too."

After some people bought the oysters, they wrapped them in their clothes and ran home in the rain to tell their neighbors that Li Duoyu dried oysters were on sale.

It didn't take a while.

Many uncles and aunties who heard about the special offer came over wearing hats, all with money in their hands.

"Village director, I want two catties of dried oysters."

"I want to buy twenty pounds."

After hearing this, everyone looked at a woman named Chen Xiulan.

"Why did you buy so many pounds? It will spoil if you don't finish it."

"I'll buy it back and bake it next to the stove. I can sell it for one pound per pound in the future."

Everyone suddenly realized.

Yes, everyone has a stove. You can put the dried oysters on the stove and dry them slowly without eating them all.

"Then I also want ten pounds."

An afternoon of work.

Li Duoyu sold all the dried oysters.

Lao Li, who was helping on the side, really admired his fourth son. He found that his brain was really not as good as his son's.

When this happened, he was only thinking about how to dry the oysters. He never thought that he could sell the dried oysters directly.

Although it was a bit of a loss.

But at least it's better than mold and spoilage.

……

After selling all the dried oysters, Li Duoyu felt much more relaxed. In fact, drying dried oysters is quite troublesome.

In the previous life, they didn't use this method for a long time. They usually just shoot short videos to deceive netizens. Most of them use dryers, which are very efficient, and they don't need to think about the weather at all.

And as a farmer, he really feels that there is not much difference between machine-dried oysters and naturally sun-dried oysters.

What Li Duoyu didn't expect was that it rained for a whole week.

The eel pond he dug was filled with water and turned into a pond, which made him feel a little heart attack.

The temperature also dropped from the original 20 degrees to single digits.

A big drop in temperature made everyone shivering with cold. Before the rain, there were many people wearing short-sleeved shirts on Dandan Island, but now, everyone is shivering. Some who are afraid of the cold have already put on cotton-padded clothes. Cotton pants.

It rains and the temperature drops sharply.

Almost none of the villagers went out to sea to fish, but all stayed at home.

However, it didn't have much influence on Li Shuguang and the others who went fishing in the open sea. Instead, they caught a lot of big fish.

Since the business of sea fishing was outsourced.

Li Duoyu makes money every day. Li Shuguang and the others go to the sea once every three days on average. In less than a month, Li Duoyu has already received more than 400 yuan.

When giving Li Duoyu money.

Li Shuguang said: "A few days ago, when we were fishing in the sea, we met the old man again, and we gave him the letter."

Li Duoyu asked: "Did he say anything after reading the letter?"

"I didn't say anything, I just felt a little down."

"Then have you told him what I told him?"

"Tell him."

Li Shuguang frowned and asked, "Are you really planning to go to his hometown to help him find his family? I think that's enough, it's not necessary at all."

Li Duoyu smiled and replied: "After all, it would be too expensive to take over a water pump and just help write a letter. That place happens to be very close to Xiaoying's hometown, so I can stop by and have a look. "

"That's okay."

But Li Shuguang had a strange feeling inexplicably, as if Li Duoyu had known for a long time that the old man would definitely not be able to find his wife and children, so Li Duoyu deliberately took away the water pump.
