In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Chapter 423 Bring a big iron pot and catch cloves

My uncle Chen Dongqing, who was all wet, went back "home" to his sister to change clothes.

After Li Duoyu's grandmother passed away, his brother-in-law Chen Dongqing stayed with them until he went to college.

In a sense, Li Duoyu's family is half of my uncle's family.

Li Duoyu was not in a hurry to go to the dock, but came to the eel factory first.

First remove the large iron pot used to cook fish for eel feed from the stove.

Chen Wenchao, who looked confused, asked: "Brother Yu, aren't we going to fish? What are you going to do with this pot?"

"You will know later, we are going to cook the fish directly on the boat."

Clove fish is a big concept, as long as it is a very small sea fish, it may be called clove fish.

Anchovies, small whitebait, and carp are often called cloves.

If Li Duoyu hadn't gone to the island country to work illegally, he would probably have caught the wrong fish.

Chen Wenchao frowned. He couldn't associate fishing with a big iron pot at all. When cooking fish on the boat, just use a small pot, which is not easy to spill. Using a big pot is too inconvenient and takes up a lot of space. .

But because they knew who was the boss in the factory, the two dogs were particularly afraid of him.

In this day and age, moso bamboo is used in a wide range of applications, and even building exterior wall scaffolding requires a large amount of moso bamboo.

Since the kelp farming season is approaching, there are a lot of people driving piles during this period, and wood is really expensive in this era.

The only difference is that the small whitebait has a black line on its body, while the clove does not. Moreover, the juvenile clove is smaller, with an average of only two to three centimeters.

Li Duoyu remembered that the fishermen in that place in his previous life could feed their entire family just by catching cloves, and even started an entire industrial chain.

Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying were a little troubled by the constant chatter about whether to book a baby wedding.

Now it is very easy to buy moso bamboo on the island. You no longer have to go to Dazhu Village to buy it in person like Li Duoyu.

Due to the sudden rise of the breeding industry, Ou Ge rarely did transportation anymore and started his own moso bamboo business. With Li Duoyu's introduction, he met Master Zhang, a pile driver.

Otherwise, if they find out, fishermen from other places who go to catch fish from them will probably be kicked out.

Just come directly to the eel factory and buy it from his second brother Li Yaoguo. Of course, as a venue provider, Li Duoyu still earns some intermediary fees.

In less than a year, Brother Ou's moso bamboo business has grown bigger and bigger, and he is now the richest man in Dazhu Village, with assets worth perhaps tens of thousands of yuan.

It looks better and the price is higher.

"Black girl, come here."

Li Duoyu happens to know that there is such a place where cloves are abundant and the quality is particularly good. It is also the main fishing spot for cloves.

That is Dinghai Bay, not far from Dandan Island. If you sail there, it will only take half an hour.

But the clove fish that Director Liu asked for was slightly gray after cooking, not completely white.

Li Duoyu looked at the black girl, and then he put it down and put her on all fours. After checking it with his hands, he felt that it was mature.

Now next door to the eel factory, Li Duoyu rented a small land to Ou Ge. He transported the moso bamboo from Dazhu Village directly to Dandan Island for consignment.

After moving the big iron pot and iron base to the dock, Li Duoyu borrowed a moso bamboo from the eel factory.

Nowadays, those who drive pilings and fishing rafts in Shangfeng Town almost all use moso bamboo from Dazhu Village.

Chen Wenchao quickly stepped forward to take the iron pot.

"Brother Yu, give me the pot and I'll get it."

After the casuarinas on the island were destroyed by Li Duoyu and the Wang brothers, as well as the three hundred acres of abalone fields, not much was left.

In fact, it is very simple to solve the problem of cloves rotting before landing. Just put a big pot on the boat, pick it up, and cook it on the spot, so that it will not rot.

Real cloves refer to the larvae of anchovies, and their juvenile form is almost the same as that of small whitebait.

When Li Duoyu shouted like this, although the black girl was a little scared, she still passed by with her head hanging down.

Li Duoyu feels that children should make their own decisions when they grow up, such as baby kisses and the like, just because they have read too many novels.

What if Miaomiao becomes disabled when she grows up? Is it really going to be like the novel in the previous life, starting with an annulment?

Nowadays, some farmers in poor conditions on Dandan Island cannot afford wooden piles at all and can only use relatively cheap moso bamboo piles.

They kept rubbing at his feet and wagging their tails happily. Since Li Duoyu didn't feed him much, the two dogs were not very close to him.

Now, they probably don’t know how valuable clove fish is, and Li Duoyu plans to help them develop it first.

While Li Duoyu was moving the bamboo, two dogs, one black and one white, ran towards Chen Wenchao while fighting.

Just over there at the village committee, there seems to be two bases modified from diesel barrels, which are just perfect for placing iron pots.

And this fish is seasonal, usually only found in spring and autumn, and now is the season for catching cloves.

Usually it is only used for weddings and major festivals. As the village director, it shouldn't be too much for me to borrow the iron pot.

He didn't bother to think about what he couldn't figure out. He saw that the bottom of the iron pot was full of black ash, which could easily stain his clothes.

An iron pot alone is not enough. If you want to use a large pot on a boat, you must have a base that can light firewood.

Not to mention that laymen can't tell the difference, even the old fishermen were confused when they saw it.

When the two are first caught, it is really difficult to distinguish them. The best way is to boil them in water.

Small whitebait is milky white when cooked.

If we continue to let black girls wet their pants, we might start inbreeding one day.

Li Duoyu touched its dog's head and smiled maliciously: "Hei Niu, I'm going to send you to a good place."

"Wang~"

The black girl replied symbolically. She didn't understand what her master meant at all.

"Just scream and I'll take it as your promise, Xiaochao. I'll take the black girl with me later and send her to the fishing raft to keep her company with Two Hundred and Five."

Chen Wenchao was stunned for a moment, feeling a little reluctant for some reason. He had raised this dog, but since Brother Yu said it, he could only do it.

He touched the black girl's dog head and said, "Follow me."

After hearing this, the black girl stood up on the spot and followed Chen Wenchao happily.

The other male dog, named Pants Pee, was a bit less courageous. After seeing Li Duoyu, he kept his head down and didn't dare to move at all.

After seeing her sister leaving, she also waggled her tail and wanted to follow her, but before she could follow her, she was kicked by Chen Wenchao.

"Go back, don't follow me."

He peed his pants and drooped his ears, looking aggrieved. He slowly returned to his kennel, and then curled up into a ball.

Looking at the direction her sister was leaving, she made a whining sound.

However, it had no idea that after today's farewell, the happiness disappeared directly, and in the days to come, it would directly become a single dog.

After Li Duoyu moved everything to the dock, everyone asked after seeing him:

"Director Li, I heard Lao Lu say that we need to install that big fan on the island so that our village will have electricity in the future?

Li Duoyu replied: "Yes, after the big fan is installed, our village will have electricity. We won't need diesel to generate electricity in the future, and the electricity bill will be cheaper."

"Would it be as unstable as before? The light bulb shouldn't keep flashing."

"That's definitely not the case. When the time comes, you can install 60-watt ones."

"It's too bright and consumes too much power."

Lao Yang, who runs a restaurant, is most concerned about the refrigerator problem. This year, the diesel generator on the island broke down. His restaurant is close to bankruptcy. Without those delicacies, no one from the island villagers comes to eat in his restaurant.

After a month, he couldn't make a few dollars, and instead owed a lot of money to his relatives. Now many relatives are persuading him to close the shop and engage in fishing and farming together.

Restaurant boss Yang asked: "Director Li, after the big fan is installed, can the freezer be used? Will there be frequent power outages?"

Li Duoyu replied directly: "After the four large fans are installed, you should have no problem getting four freezers."

"Really?"

Li Duoyu nodded.

After hearing this, Lao Yang said excitedly: "Then I must sign up to contribute to the development of our Xiasha Village. We will have electricity in the future. Director Li, remember to come and visit us more often. As long as you come to your home, I will I’ll give you a 30% discount.”

"Okay, no problem, just give me a 30% discount, and you won't be afraid that I will bankrupt your store."

"As long as you can lead our village to continue to develop rapidly, I will be happy if you go bankrupt."

The old rice man on the side smiled and scolded: "Oh, it seems that our village has another flatterer."

Lao Yang rolled his eyes and said, "You are the best at flattering someone. You are so old. Why don't you be ashamed to flatter a young man?"

After hearing this, everyone on the dock couldn't help laughing.

After chatting with everyone casually for a few words.

Li Duoyu came to the fishing gear shop on the pier and saw no one in the shop.

Li Duoyu shouted directly: "Old Chen, are you here? If not, I will move all the things."

The shop owner's voice came from the backyard: "You can move things wherever you want, it's okay, just remember to pay."

After a while, an old man wearing black-rimmed glasses walked into the store from the backyard.

Li Duoyu asked curiously: "How come I haven't seen you for a while and you are wearing glasses?"

Chen Shuinian, the owner of the fishing gear shop, sighed and said, "I'm getting older. If I mend the net now, if I don't wear this thing, I won't be able to see clearly at all."

Li Duoyu smiled and asked:

"Is there a 40-mesh dragnet in the store?"

Lao Chen thought for a moment: "Almost no one buys a net as small as 40 mesh. Just wait for me and I'll go look for it. There seem to be two more in the warehouse."

After a while.

Lao Chen pulled out two 40-mesh dragnets from the warehouse: "There are just two left. What kind of fish are you using this fine net to catch?"

"Just catch some small fish."

Chen Shuinian asked in surprise: "Are we going to start fishing for eel fry again?"

"No, the eel fry are not in season yet."

Chen Shuinian did not ask any more questions and said directly: "These two nets have been on sale for two or three years. If you want them all, I will give you the purchase price directly."

"That's okay. Give me these two nets."

After Li Duoyu bought the dragnet, he said to the boss: "Old Chen, hurry up and buy the goods. Just buy this kind of fine net. Many people will come to buy this kind of net in the past two days."

Old Chen frowned slightly, wondering what medicine Li Duoyu was selling in his gourd.

"You're not kidding me."

Li Duoyu rolled his eyes and said, "I'm like the kind of person who likes to joke. I'm very serious. Okay, hurry up and buy it. If it's not sold out, I'll give you the bottom line."

"With your words, I feel relieved. I will sail right away to purchase goods."

After Li Duoyu got the dragnet, he started making it on the spot at the dock.

In fact, it can also be caught directly with a trawl net, which is more efficient, but now that the two tugboats in the village are not available, Li Duoyu has to use a sampan to make the transition.

The method of catching cloves is similar to catching eel fry. All fish are in shallow water and can be caught with floating nets.

Li Duoyu tied the dragnet directly to the moso bamboo, and then tied two floating balls to ensure that the mouth of the net would not sink.

When Li Duoyu was making it, the fishermen at the dock were very curious and saw Li Duoyu moving the iron pots to the back of the sampan boat.

Everyone was puzzled.

Lao Mi Tou asked with a smile:

"Duoyu, you built such a big pot, are you planning to cook a big meal at sea?"

Li Duoyu chuckled and said, "I'll try it first, and you'll know what I'm going to do later."

Some fishermen also joked: "If you build such a big pot, you won't be afraid of burning the boat."

"It's good to burn it. The more it burns, the more prosperous it will be."

Li Duoyu knew that the other party was just joking. The fishing boats were made of hardwood and it was difficult to catch fire.

Besides, the ship is in the sea. If it catches fire, it’s just a matter of a bucket of water.

Fishermen have always had the habit of lighting fires on their boats. The trawl boats of the third uncle and uncle also have large iron pots.

After all the firewood and fresh water were prepared, my uncle Chen Dongqing, who had changed his clothes, rushed to the dock.

Chen Dongqing looked at the fishing tools on the sampan boat and asked curiously: "There are many fish, and it's not the season for eels. What kind of fish are you using such a fine net to catch?"

"You still have a big pot, what are you doing?"

Li Duoyu replied: "I'm going to Dinghaiwan to catch a very small transparent fish, the kind that everyone was too lazy to catch before."

"Is Li Shui rotten?"

Li Duoyu gave a thumbs up and said: "Awesome, you are worthy of being a top student, you can get it done with just one click."

The corner of Chen Dongqing's mouth twitched. He didn't know why, but every time he was praised by his nephew, he felt particularly uncomfortable.

Seeing that they were about to set off, Zhao Dahai, who was sorting out the fishing nets at the side, asked with a smile: "Brother Yu, do you have any good projects?"

Li Duoyu didn't bother to explain: "If you just learn from me and make a set of fishing tools like this, you might make a lot of money next time."

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

Zhao Dahai didn't even think twice and just did what Li Duoyu said.

In the past two months, Erniu had caught blue crab seedlings for Li Duoyu, making him a lot of money and making him envious.

But there really isn't much to earn lately. In the past two months, he had managed a small amount of money.

But since everyone knows how to catch small tubes with lights, people not only in Xiasha Village, but also in Chenjia Village followed suit and started catching small tubes with lights.

Because too many people were arrested, the price collapsed. Last year, the two brothers earned 5,000 yuan in a whole month.

Today he did it by himself, and he only earned more than 300 yuan in the whole month.

His younger brother, Erniu, was lucky enough to take an order from Brother Yu to catch blue crab seedlings. In two months, he earned nearly one thousand and fifty from catching blue crabs and crab seedlings.

The house has one more floor than his. A few days ago, the two of them went to buy a bed together. He bought the cheapest hard bed.

Erniu bought the latest bunk bed, and in front of him, he deliberately added a 50-yuan brown shed mattress, and said in a sinister manner:

"For wedding mattresses, you should buy a softer one. If it is too hard, your knees will bruise easily."

Zhao Dahai naturally knew what Er Niu was talking about, and he was so angry that he didn't have a good meal for several days.

When Brother Yu said this this time, Zhao Dahai had an intuition that it was his turn to be prosperous this time.
