In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

(As for the resignation of the village director, the author will definitely listen to opinions and consider it carefully, so please don’t worry.)

After a heavy rainstorm.

The red tide and blue tears that ravaged the waters of Dandan Island just disappeared.

At the same time, Li Duoyu received a letter from Ludao Fisheries Technical School, which roughly meant that he was invited to visit the school in one month to discuss related teaching matters.

Li Duoyu is a visiting teacher, which is different from regular teachers. He does not have a long-term employment contract or formal teaching status.

Teaching is also relatively relaxed, and only specific content is taught within a specific time period.

Although he doesn't have to stand on the podium very often, Li Duoyu is still a little nervous when he thinks that he will have to give lectures to a group of technical secondary school students in a month.

After all, in this era, those who can get into technical secondary schools are the best among the best.

After the reopening, everything was in need of improvement. The carrot pits in many units were empty and they were very short of people.

If you graduate from a technical secondary school, you can enter the workplace before the age of twenty, and technical secondary school students of this era are not only assigned jobs.

Some better schools even cover tuition fees and provide students with various food stamps and monetary subsidies.

It can be said that at that time, technical secondary school students were the fastest way for farmers' children to turn over. As long as they graduated, they would have an iron rice bowl and a cadre status.

Zhou Xiaoying once told him that it is more difficult for technical secondary school students to take the exam now than it was back then. The admission rate is only 10%. Some who do not do well in the exam will continue to study in high school and then take the route of high school secondary school or university.

Of course, this does not mean that technical secondary school students at that time were more profitable than college students. It was just that the society at that time gave students more choices.

And teaching a group of top students is quite stressful.

Li Duoyu asked Zhou Xiaoying on the bed how to teach students. Zhou Xiaoying, who was so hot that she was sweating all over, only replied: "If you are real, you are not afraid of teaching."

"There are no real suggestions."

Zhou Xiaoying said disgustedly: "What suggestions can you give me? Teaching is not about teaching what you know to those who don't."

After hearing this, Li Duoyu felt enlightened and seemed to have nothing to be afraid of.

The people at the Fisheries Research Institute may not necessarily have as good aquaculture techniques as he does, so just teach a bunch of kids, they are afraid of being a hammer.

But now, there is something more important than teaching. Manager Chen Yuanyou and An Yuliang have sent him several telegrams, all asking about grilled eel.

Li Duoyu asked Chen Wenchao and his second brother to fish out some eels and put them in the pond for temporary cultivation.

Before grilling the eel.

It is best to starve the eel for two days first, that is, to drink water to cleanse the intestines, so that when the eel is slaughtered, it will not be easily contaminated by various bacteria.

After cleaning the eel.

Li Duoyu transported the eel to the aquatic product processing plant, put the eel directly in the ice water, and stunned it.

This step is actually quite critical when it comes to butchering eels, as slippery things like eels can be eaten without freezing.

When killing, it will definitely run around and cannot be caught. In addition to the ice stun, a large bolt-type iron nail is also a must.

In order to cooperate with Li Duoyu's grilled eel processing this time, Director Liu of the aquatic products processing plant directly arranged for more than a dozen people to work for him.

Let Li Duoyu teach them how to grill eel.

Fortunately, most of these people are fishermen from Shangfeng Town. They were originally good at killing fish. Li Duoyu knew several of them because they came to work here from Dandan Island.

After Li Duoyu demonstrated and explained several times, the workers quickly grasped the essentials and knew how to kill eels.

Since there is no equipment to grill eel, Li Duoyu can only grill it manually, which happens to be Li Duoyu's strength.

In his previous life, when he was working as an illegal worker and business was at its best, Li Duoyu could grill thousands of eels a day. He was a veritable eel grilling immortal.

Li Duoyu patiently explained the precautions for grilling eel, when to brush the eel with juice, when to collect the juice, and how far it should be grilled before it is done.

As a result, Li Duoyu discovered that the workers of this era are really spiritual, highly savvy, and very positive.

After an afternoon of trying, they had almost mastered the core skills of grilling eel, and Li Duoyu took advantage of their practice time to make a large amount of kabayaki sauce.

An artificial grilled eel production line was officially put into operation, and Li Duoyu served as a quality inspector on site, responsible for the quality of the entire production line.

The agreement Li Duoyu signed with the aquatic product processing factory is that the rental fee for an assembly line is one hundred yuan.

The processing fee for an eel is five cents.

The packaging fee is only a dime.

The color printing fee for each bag is two cents.

Li Duoyu calculated the costs and found that the space and labor were very cheap, but the packaging and printing took up the bulk.

After all, in this era, there are really not many printing machines in a city, let alone machines that can print on plastic packaging bags.

Director Liu of the aquatic product processing plant ran this packaging bag for him. Otherwise, Li Duoyu would go directly to it and the printing factory would ignore you.

After five days.

Li Duoyu sold the grilled and packaged eels to two companies, Chen Yuanyu and An Yuliang, at a price of 1.5 yuan each.

After deducting various costs, Li Duoyu didn't make a lot from more than 20,000 eels. The net profit was less than 20,000. Compared with exporting to Xiaori, the profit difference was at least half.

However, it is not without its benefits. The plastic packages of the grilled eels are all printed with the four characters "Minlong Food".

And before the grilled eel comes on the market.

Xinyuan Aquatic Products Company and Rongcheng United have already carried out advertising. On the day it was launched, there were long queues at every stall selling grilled eels, as well as at supply and marketing cooperatives.

On the first day, more than 2,000 eels were robbed in less than an hour.

This time, Xinyuan Aquatic Products Company and Rongcheng United Distribution Company have quite a tacit understanding.

Instead of selling all the grilled eels at once, they released them in batches.

Moreover, the sales of both parties do not overlap. The main positions of Xinyuan Aquatic Products are fish markets and seafood stalls, while the main sales channels of Rongcheng United Distribution Company are supply and marketing cooperatives.

In just a few days, grilled eel has become the most popular product in Rongcheng.

In this era of material scarcity, the smell of grilled eel can really bring people a sense of happiness.

Sweet sauce.

Coupled with the caramelized and soft eel meat, it goes better with rice than braised pork.

For a time, whoever ate grilled eel became the envy of everyone.

Even before the place selling grilled eel opened, there was already a long queue, and some people even started scalping the eels.

"I just grabbed it. Do you want it for four yuan? You don't have to queue up. Otherwise, if it's your turn, it will probably be sold out."

The popularity of grilled eel has also led to Minlong Food, and everyone is talking about Minlong Food, which produces grilled eel.

As a result, everyone discovered that this Minlong Food Store was the same store that sold kelp and oysters before, and the village director who often reported it became the focus of everyone's attention.

Someone also joked:

"Li Duoyu, this name is a good one. No wonder the business is so big. From now on, my children will just be called Zhang Duojin."

"Then my name is Chen Duofu."

An aunt on the side said with disdain: "What's wrong is that I don't even have a partner, so I just want to name my child."

Zhang Jianhua, who had eaten a hundred and fifty at a Japanese restaurant, finally asked someone to get two grilled eels from the supply and marketing cooperative.

I was planning to use it to honor class beauty Chen Ziyi, but I suddenly heard that Minlong Food Company was run by Li Duoyu, and this grilled eel was his product.

Zhang Jianhua instantly became dejected and cursed constantly. He wanted to throw the grilled eel into the ditch, but after thinking about it, he finally decided to give the grilled eel to the factory leaders.

With the popularity of grilled eels, some merchants who sensed business opportunities followed the addresses on the packaging bags and went to Dandan Island for on-the-spot inspections.

As a tin boat docked.

Old Mi, who was sitting by the pier and smoking, said directly before the other party could ask questions: "Minlong Food is over there. If you walk over, it will be there in ten minutes." "Thank you, sir."

Perhaps because of Old Man Mi's unkempt appearance and the fact that he often placed a bucket in front of him, several vendors actually threw several coins into his bucket.

This made old man Mi look very dark, and he wanted to scold him: Do I look like a beggar?

But think about it and forget it.

Old Man Mi picked up the fifty-cent coins in the bucket, wiped them clean, and put them in his pocket. No one can live with money.

But the traders who came to inspect all fell into deep thought after seeing the drafty factory building.

How could such a run-down breeding factory produce such high-end grilled eels?

The fire of grilled eels in Rongcheng also spread to Nanri Town, which is a newly built breeding factory.

Bulldozers and excavators were used in the back to build more than 20 ponds, and there was a two-story office directly in front.

On the iron gate at the front are the words Haixin Eel Breeding Factory.

At this time, a farm vehicle stopped at the big iron gate, and then a young man got out. In his arms, he held five grilled eels that he had bought from scalpers not long ago.

"Manager Zhou, I got the goods."

Not long after, about ten people gathered in the two-story office. Some looked like cadres, some looked like researchers like Chen Dongqing, and even chefs.

After they finished eating the grilled eel, everyone couldn't help but admire it.

"This tastes really good."

"I think we are on the right path. Not only must we do it, but we must also do something special to try to suppress the Minlong Food."

The manager surnamed Zhou asked: "Master Zhang, can you tell what the sauce for this grilled eel is made of?"

The chef named Zhang has been frowning since he ate the grilled eel.

"You can roughly guess that it contains rock sugar, wine flavor, and soy sauce."

Manager Zhou asked directly: "Give me a confirmation, can you make the same recipe?"

Master Zhang was silent for a while, and then said: "I think there are probably ingredients in this sauce that I don't understand. It's okay to imitate it, but it's probably a bit difficult to make it exactly the same."

After listening to the chef's words, Manager Zhou asked the big village woman beside him:

"Comrade Zhu, you and Li Duoyu have lived under the same roof for so many years. Do you know what ingredients Li Duoyu uses when grilling eel?"

Zhu Xiuhua racked her brains and recalled: "I only saw him do it once. When he was grilling eel, he seemed to have prepared a kind of wine, but I don't know what kind of wine it was."

Manager Zhou smiled at the chef and said, "Comrade Zhu has reminded me so far. Next, I will leave the eel sauce recipe to you."

After speaking, Manager Zhou continued to ask Zhu Xiuhua: "Comrade Zhu, now that our pond has been dug, what should we do next?"

Zhu Xiuhua smiled and said: "I know this. I was involved in the entire process of digging the pond. My brother-in-law said that after the pond is dug, it must be disinfected and watered."

And right now.

In a machinery factory in Rongcheng, several female workers in work clothes opened their lunch boxes and were eating lunch with spoons.

"Jingxiu, take out the grilled eel you grabbed this morning and show it to everyone."

A female worker wearing sleeves said: "I put it in a hot water bottle. I heard that it needs to be stored in the refrigerator. If there is no refrigerator, I will have to eat it tonight."

"Give us a look, we won't eat you."

"I don't believe you."

"Sister Yuqin, your husband seems to be from Dandan Island. I heard that this grilled eel is produced on Dandan Island. Does Jinchuan know this Minlong Food?"

Jiang Yuqin smiled and said: "This Minlong Food is the company opened by my brother-in-law."

All the female workers were stunned.

"It's true, Sister Yuqin, you have such a powerful person in your family, why don't you tell us about it."

"My Jinchuan family is relatively low-key and doesn't like to show off everywhere. Besides, if you know that this is a company run by my brother-in-law's family, I might have to bring you goods more often in the future."

A younger female worker said coquettishly: "Sister Yuqin, Xiaojun and I haven't grabbed it. It is said that it is almost out of stock. Since it is your brother-in-law's company, can you buy some for us?"

Jiang Yuqin frowned and thought for a while. Recently, for some reason, the leaders in the factory suddenly paid special attention to Li Jinchuan and were evaluating him for promotion.

If you can bring some grilled eel out as a favor, it might be beneficial to the assessment.

"Okay, then I will go back to the island this week. It may not be available, but if there is, I will definitely get it for you."

"Thank you, Sister Yuqin."

At this moment, Jiang Yuqin heard the doorman shouting: "Jiang Yuqin, there is your package at the door."

Who sent me something?

When Jiang Yuqin came to the guard, he found a very tightly packed foam box that was quite heavy to hold.

The three characters "Dandan Island" were written in crayon on it. Jiang Yuqin thought it was his mother-in-law who had sent him dry goods again.

Since he married Jinchuan, the new mother-in-law has sent her some squid, dried razor clams and the like every once in a while.

I guess he wanted to urge her to have another child, but this time the packaging was a little different and extremely heavy.

After Jiang Yuqin opened it, he found that it was covered with a layer of crushed ice. After removing the crushed ice, he found that it was full of frozen grilled eels.

There are more than fifty grilled eels. According to the market price, it is more than one hundred yuan. If it is calculated according to the scalper price, it is two hundred yuan.

Seeing so many eels, Jiang Yuqin instantly knew who sent them, and he felt a little more grateful.

The female workers who had just eaten with her opened their eyes wide when they saw so many grilled eels in the foam box.

"so much"

"My brother-in-law just sent it."

A young female worker suddenly said: "Sister Yuqin, does your brother-in-law have a partner?"

Jiang Yuqin rolled his eyes and said, "The child is over one year old, and you are a little slut. Aren't you talking to Mr. Chen from the workshop?"

"I haven't even written my eight characters yet."

The entrance of Rongcheng Courtyard.

The guard standing guard at the sentry box with a gun said sternly: "You can't go in here."

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Comrade, can you call Chef Liu Sanduo for me and tell him that a person named Li Duoyu is looking for him."

The guard said: "No, you can register it, take apart the things, and put them here. I will notify him to come out and get them after I make sure they are safe."

After Li Duoyu opened the foam box, he said: "There is nothing dangerous, it is all grilled eels."

"Okay, you can register your identity information and I will notify Chef Liu Sanduo later."

After Li Duoyu sent the grilled eel to the doorman, he quickly returned to the rickshaw.

The tricycle master couldn't help but ask: "Comrade, what is in your foam box? Why are you sending it to these organizational units?"

"There's nothing, just some small seafood. Master, let's go to the Rongcheng Fisheries Bureau for the last box."

The master wiped his sweat with a towel:

"It's really a bit of a loss to make this order of yours. I'm almost halfway through Rongcheng. These things of yours are heavy. Can you give me an extra two cents?"

"Master, this is not possible. We agreed from the beginning that there is no such thing as a temporary price increase."

When leaving, Li Duoyu found that the three children at Rongcheng Pier were no longer catching crickets, but were helping a weak woman sell beancurd.

Li Duoyu, who originally liked eating tofu pudding, originally wanted to go over and have a bowl, but after thinking about it, he decided against it and sailed directly back to Dandan Island. (End of chapter)
