In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Chapter 39 The Fishmonger (for further reading)
Almost, five o'clock in the morning.

It's not yet dawn.

Third Uncle Li Zhengfa has already driven the fishing boat into Sharp Wharf.

And at this point, several fishing boats that came earlier than them had already unloaded their cargo at the pier.

Fortunately, those few fishing boats were not all swimming crabs, and two of them were for hairtail. Otherwise, if the quantity of swimming crabs was too large, the fishmongers would lower the prices.

The local production of hairtail is also very large.

As long as the season comes.

Often trawling is also a whole boat.

The hairtail is the most exotic of the four big sea fish. The large yellow croaker and small yellow croaker are caught less and less, while the hairtail is caught in large quantities every year, but there is no decrease.

It can only be said that the reproductive ability is too strong.

After waiting at the pier for about half an hour, it was their turn to unload the cargo. Sharp Wharf has a special boom. When unloading, as long as you pay the fishing boat berthing handling fee of two yuan, a master will help you hang the fish down.

Just when they hoisted all the swimming crabs down, the boat boss and the fishmonger in front had a quarrel.

"There's something wrong with your scale. I weighed it on the boat. It's obvious that every load weighs 100 catties. How come you have only 70 catties left."

"Crabs can spit water, okay? It's normal to lose the scale."

"I've been away from the water for several hours, and I'd vomit before I could."

The fishmonger lowered his face on the spot and said roguely:

"Then do you want to sell it? If you feel that there is something wrong with my scale, you can sell it at other wharves. If the crab dies halfway, you can't sell it at a high price, so don't blame me."

The captain of the boat had a dark face, wishing to punch the fishmonger, but after weighing it up, he still sold all the swimming crabs to the fishmonger.

But Li Zhengfa has become accustomed to this scene, even in the fishery team. How many catties of seafood, whether the seafood is fresh or not, all depends on the mouth of the inspector.

In the past few years after the opening up, the collusion of interests has become more obvious. Since the fishmonger dared to tamper with the scale so blatantly at the pier, it proves that there must be someone behind him.

Foreign fishermen like them have nothing to do when they encounter such local snakes. This place is not just their territory.

My seven inches were pinched by others.

If you don’t sell it to him, you can take it to another wharf, and the swimming crab may die halfway. Besides, no one can guarantee that the fishmonger at the next wharf will be better than this person.

Could it be worse?
As a reborn person, even if Li Duoyu had two lifetimes of experience, there was nothing he could do about this situation.

But when he gave up.

However, they found that a newsstand near the pier opened so early.

With the mentality of trying it out, Li Duoyu came to the newsstand and asked:

"Master, do you still have the Rongcheng Daily from half a month ago?"

"What day."

"September NO.20."

"I'll look for it."

The uncle untied the pile of newspapers that could not be sold in time, then rummaged through and found the newspaper of that day.

"There's just one left."

But when the uncle picked up the newspaper and saw the group photo, he suddenly looked at Li Duoyu.

"The person in this newspaper is not you."

Li Duoyu nodded.

"No wonder when I saw you, I felt a little familiar." The uncle continued: "This newspaper will not charge you, and will be given to you directly."

"Thank you, sir."

After Li Duoyu got the newspaper, he found that the fishmonger was about to finish his deal with the previous boat boss, and it was their turn soon.

He hurried back to the cabin and changed into clean clothes, washed his face, put on the rough size watch, then cut out the photo with the leader with scissors, and put it in the plastic wallet.

Afterwards, Li Duoyu swaggered to the pier and found that Uncle San was negotiating the price with the fishmonger.

"You charged him [-] cents for a catty earlier, but when it comes to me, it becomes [-] cents."

Fishmongers love to sell or not: "Whoever arrives first, the price will be higher. I accept so many crabs from you, so I have to bear the risk, okay?"

Uncle San has a bitter face:

"Then why don't you make a compromise, can you do it for a dime?"

The fishmonger refused on the spot:
"I don't like to bargain with others. It's still the same sentence. If you don't want to sell, just move the crab. There are a lot of people behind you who want to sell."

"Forget it..." Just when the third uncle was about to agree, Li Duoyu walked over.

"Cough cough."

"Comrade Zhengfa, why didn't you tell me about your sale of swimming crabs first?"

The third uncle looked at Li Duoyu in a daze.

When did this kid change into clean clothes, and... why did he call him a comrade?

But when he saw the group photo of the leaders that Li Duoyu showed him behind him.

Instantly understood.

The third uncle smiled flatteringly: "How can I trouble you to lead you on such a small matter?"

"I didn't even thank you very much. You drove the fishing boat to accompany me to find out the basic fish situation in the Sharp Sea area."

lead?

The fishmonger looked at the young man in front of him in puzzlement. He was so dark that he didn't look like a leader.

Among the leaders he met, which one was not a ****, white and gentle?

But Hei was a little dark, but the posture he put on was indeed a bit similar to the leaders he knew.

For a while, the fishmonger couldn't help it, what if?
He smiled and handed over a cigarette:
"Hello comrade, where are you from?"

Li Duoyu waved his hand: "Pai Shi, I don't smoke. I'm from the Fisheries Research Institute under the Rongcheng Fishery Bureau. I happened to go out with this fishing boat to investigate the fish situation these days."

The fishmonger put the cigarette away in embarrassment. The young man obviously smelled of cigarettes, so it must be because he didn't like his cigarettes.

"It turned out to be comrades from the Fisheries Research Institute. Your Director Zhang is still from Sharp."

Li Duoyu: "..."

No wonder those honest boat bosses couldn't beat him, this fishmonger was really a ghost.

If it wasn't for reading a lot of award-winning materials of the research institute in the reception room that day, and knowing that the director's surname is Zheng, he might have been caught by this fishmonger.

"Director Zhang, where is Director Zhang? Our director's surname is Zheng."

The fishmonger patted his thigh:

"Oh, look at my memory, that's right, it's Director Zheng."

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be pretending, the fishmonger smiled flatteringly and said:

"Comrade, you should also know that it's not easy to work in our business. Every time we collect seafood and sell them in the city, more than half of them may be broken. If you don't order Xiaojiu, you will lose your underpants. Now that you have come forward, I will replace your friend's swimming crab with a new scale. The price is the same as the previous one. See if it will work."

Li Duoyu said righteously: "I also know that it is difficult for you to do so, but now we are in the early stage of opening up, and we must pay more attention to honest management. Otherwise, you alone will ruin the reputation of the entire Sharp Wharf, and it will be you Sharp people who will suffer in the end."

"Understood, what Comrade said is true."

At this moment, the third uncle Li Zhengfa was so shocked that he couldn't even speak. He felt that the Li Duoyu in front of him seemed to be a completely different person.

How to speak official Chinese in a set way.

Not long ago, Zhu Xiuhua kept telling him that what Duoyu said to the leader was taught by his uncle Chen Dongqing.

But looking at it today, it doesn't look like it.

This kid is not only eloquent, but also scares the fishmonger to death.

At this time, the uncle just got off the boat. After seeing Li Duoyu's outfit, he thought he was going out to play just after catching fish for a day, so he cursed:

"I've only hunted crabs for a day. Why do you want to go out and play? We'll leave when we sell out. It's impossible to wait for you."

After hearing this, Li Duoyu and third uncle Li Zhengfa were quite embarrassed, and the fishmonger's face was also very dark, he found that he seemed to be cheated.

At this time, there was an open plastic wallet that just fell next to his shoe, and a photo of the young man taking a photo with the big leader could be clearly seen.

"Sorry, I lost my wallet."
