In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

After processing the blue crabs.

The matter was not over yet. Li Duoyu also sprinkled a large amount of quicklime in the first two ponds.

I have to say that quicklime is a very useful thing for the breeding industry.

After being sprinkled into the pond, quicklime will react quickly with the water and release a large amount of heat, but the heat will not kill the bacteria.

The main reason is that after sprinkling quicklime, the reacted water will become highly alkaline, thus achieving the effect of killing bacteria and parasites.

After Li Duoyu poured quicklime on it, he planned to dry it for ten days and a half, and then use it directly as a shrimp pond.

It is indeed not easy to engage in breeding in this era, but it also has the advantage of being less competitive.

Nowadays, organizations have subsidies, most aquaculture seedlings are very cheap, and the cost of trial and error is very low.

Although the blue crabs in two ponds died, Li Duoyu did not lose much money after calculation. A total of 100,000 crab seedlings were released into the two ponds, which totaled almost 1,000 yuan.

The total amount of various shellfish and snail feeds used for more than two months is only about 700, and the labor cost is quite 300.

The actual loss is actually only about 2,000, but the return rate is very high, if this disease does not occur.

Li Duoyu estimates that these two ponds can harvest at least 20,000 blue crabs. Even if one blue crab is sold for only 50 cents, that is an income of nearly 10,000 yuan, a full five times profit.

If Li Duoyu uses some scientific methods to increase the production of cream crabs and butter crabs, a tenfold profit is not impossible.

It is normal to fail in breeding, but the profits in this business are often very high. If you succeed once, you can often make a lot of money.

At least compared to those who grow fruits in the mountains, their business is very good.

Not long ago, when Li Duoyu was buying baskets from Brother Ou, he learned that in order to make more money, their village was now vigorously promoting the planting of Wendan and navel oranges.

After the saplings are planted, it will take at least four to five years to bear fruit and have a good harvest. This waiting time is much more difficult than breeding.

Li Duoyu's farming techniques for blue crabs, oysters, and kelp are actually open to the public, as long as the villagers come and ask.

Li Duoyu will tell them, but Li Duoyu's "failure" has discouraged many villagers who originally planned to raise blue crabs.

And that’s how people are, when you haven’t succeeded yet, no one is willing to believe you even if you tell the truth.

But as long as you make money, even if you say blue crabs are very difficult to raise, they will sharpen their heads and dig in.

After dealing with the matter of the crab pond, Li Duoyu started to deal with the clove fish.

After more than a week of large-scale purchases, the eel factory has accumulated a large amount of cloves, all of which are packed in baskets. There are more than 400 baskets.

Even if we use the trawl boat of the uncle and the third uncle to pull it, it will take two or three trips to pull so many baskets of cloves.

These baskets were specially customized by Li Duoyu and were produced overnight by Ouge's bamboo factory. Li Duoyu ordered a thousand baskets in total.

After the cloves are dried, they become extremely brittle and can easily break if packed and transported in sacks.

In this era, there are not so many plastic baskets, and bamboo baskets can be said to be the best choice now.

Each basket of clove fish weighs fifty kilograms. If there are more than four hundred baskets, it will be more than twenty thousand kilograms.

During this period of time, Chen Wenchao was really stressed and couldn't sleep. At the beginning, Liu Xiaolan was able to comfort and encourage him.

But as the amount of the purchase of Lilac Fish became larger and larger, she, who was responsible for the accounting, also collapsed.

The two of them had never seen so much money in their lives, because in more than a week, she had handled nearly 60,000 yuan, and she was counting the money in her dreams in the middle of the night.

Nowadays, both of them have panda eyes. Because they haven't slept well for a whole week, their tempers are much bigger.

Seeing that some fishermen wanted to cheat again, Liu Xiaolan scolded him directly: "Zeng Datou, if you do this again next time, I won't accept your fish."

"There's no such thing as messing around. The quality of mine is obviously very good. One pound of fish is three ounces of sand, and the quality is good. Go back and rinse it quickly."

"Whose is this? It's all broken and in a mess. Go back and pick it again."

Seeing Liu Xiaolan getting angry, no one among those selling cloves dared to criticize her. If Li Duoyu was excluded, Liu Xiaolan would now be their Goddess of Wealth.

Liu Xiaolan, who was slightly angry, immediately smiled when she looked up and saw Li Duoyu, but her face still looked tired.

"Brother Yu, you are here."

After Li Duoyu saw the panda eyes of Chen Wenchao and his wife, he couldn't help but ask: "You haven't slept well recently?"

Liu Xiaolan replied: "The children have been quite noisy recently, and they always want to drink grandma in the middle of the night."

As soon as she finished speaking, someone started cheering: "I think it's Xiaochao who wants to drink milk in the middle of the night."

Liu Xiaolan's face turned red instantly, but she also blamed herself. Why did she talk to a man about such a private matter as breastfeeding.

Liu Xiaolan glared at him and planned to follow the strictest standards when buying his clove fish later.

"Seeing that you guys look a little tired, do you want to take a rest? I'll ask Yao Guo to take over for a few days."

Liu Xiaolan said quickly: "No, we can do it, just the accounts. You'd better check it again to see if there are any mistakes."

"Well, let me check the accounts."

Li Duoyu glanced at Chen Wenchao, who was still collecting fish, and said, "Xiaochao, go to bed early tonight. You have to wake up early tomorrow. You have to take the cloves to the aquatic products processing factory with you."

"Okay, got it."

Li Duoyu followed his second brother Li Yaoguo to settle accounts at the eel factory.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xiaolan did very well when doing accounting for the first time. He just opened the account book casually, and every transaction was very detailed.

[November 11, Team 8, Zhang Shuitou, 6.5 pounds of dried fish, 16.25 yuan. 】

[November 11, the third pulling net team, 8 kilograms of dried fish, 235 yuan. 】

The packaged clove fish only weighs more than 20,000 kilograms, but the money spent this time was nearly 60,000 yuan.

Mainly because after the acquisition, Li Duoyu hired people to select and grade again to remove the broken cloves and debris.

In addition to the four hundred baskets of top-quality cloves, there were also thirty or forty baskets of inferior products. In fact, these cloves didn't have much of a problem. They were still edible, but they might not look that good when exported.

Looking at these defective cloves, Li Duoyu planned to make them into canned cloves.

After deducting these defective products, Li Duoyu found that the final cost of each kilogram of dried clove fish was about three yuan.

After all, the price Director Liu gave Li Duoyu was probably the purchase price from the island country. The processing factory would most likely have no profit, and there might even be a discount.

All Li Duoyu can do is give him the best quality.

He has indeed heard that various cities now have rigid targets for earning foreign exchange, and many factories would rather lose money to win foreign trade orders.

Just like those tobacco and alcohol, the export prices are almost much cheaper than domestic prices. Some smugglers will even go out to buy cheap domestic tobacco and alcohol and sell them back. And Li Duoyu has always remembered clearly that Maotai-flavor wine, which is extremely expensive in China, could be bought at the counter in the island country for less than half the price.

At this stage, the organization needs foreign exchange very much, and Li Duoyu wants money. In short, this is a win-win situation.

The purchase of cloves this time has also made many villagers on the island make money. As long as there are people involved in fishing, even the smallest one can make fifty yuan.

Zhao Dahai and Lao Lu, who own boats and can fish for cloves in Ding Bay, have earned nearly 700 to 800 yuan in just over a week.

Cousin Li Shuguang and his family also earned nearly a thousand dollars, and the most profitable ones were actually not the fishermen on Dandan Island, but the ones from Nanri Town next door.

Moreover, Li Duoyu also knew Li Duoyu very well. There had been unpleasant things happened between the two parties before, that was Liu Yun who stole his oysters.

The relationship between the two parties has already eased. Li Duoyu met him two days ago. Now that Liu Yun sees him, he treats him like Director Li and always wants to treat him to dinner and drinks.

It was probably Li Shuguang who asked him to fish for cloves together. His fishing boat was originally used for shrimp fishing. It can be used to catch cloves with a fine net, which is very efficient.

In just over a week, their boat made nearly 2,000 yuan, which made all the fishermen on Dandan Island red-eyed.

During this time, not only the business of the fishing tackle shop was very good, but also the business of the restaurant on the pier also picked up.

After all, these days, there are no mortgages, car loans, etc. After everyone makes money, except for the four major items, there is no other consumption.

In addition, everyone was used to being poor in the past. As soon as they had money, the first thing they wanted to satisfy was their appetite.

But these villagers on the island really like to eat wild animals.

Li Duoyu dared to eat eels, oil cones and the like, but every time he saw Lao Yang killing those king snakes and cobras in the street, he felt goosebumps all over his body.

He had also touched a snake before, and the cold and rough feel made him quite uncomfortable.

But disgusting is disgusting. Every time Lao Yang Restaurant cooks snake soup or wild boar soup, Li Duoyu can't help but swallow his saliva every time he passes by.

Li Duoyu also talked to Lao Yang, and then he realized that he didn't buy these delicacies from the mountains with money, but directly exchanged the seafood for the restaurants in the mountains.

The islanders like to eat game from the mountains, and those people from the mountains also like to eat seafood from the seaside.

Especially the big color TV lobster, which is extremely expensive to sell there, one can be sold for five or six yuan.

Li Duoyu didn't do much reconciliation, he just calculated the approximate amount and randomly checked the grade of the cloves in the basket.

Li Duoyu is really satisfied with Chen Wenchao's performance this time. It is his first time to handle such a large project.

It is really rare that there is no chaos and the accounts can be done so clearly.

Of course, a lot of the credit for this must go to Liu Xiaolan. Li Duoyu didn't understand it very well before, but now he finally understands it.

Why do old people always say that when looking for a wife, you don't have to look for someone who is too beautiful? The most important thing is to be reliable, because marrying a good woman is really likely to change your life.

Of course, someone as beautiful and reliable as Zhou Xiaoying is naturally the best.

Thinking of his wife and little Tutu, Li Duoyutu took three kilograms of cloves from the eel factory and prepared to cook something delicious for them.

After Li Duoyu returned home, he found that no one was at home. Aniang must have gone out to play with Xiao Tutu.

Li Duoyu was at the well, cleaning the clove fish and drying it.

Then, carrying a plastic bucket, I came to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought two kilograms of rapeseed oil, and bought a whole can of black tempeh.

Nowadays, in the city, people still use grain and oil coupons to buy gas, but it is different in rural areas. No one gives them such things.

Especially fishing villages like these in coastal areas have been away from food stamps and oil stamps relatively early. Now they don't like to use stamps very much, and they value unity more.

After Li Duoyu finished shopping.

When I came back, I heated up the pan and planned to make a dish of black bean and clove fish.

This dish is very easy to make and delicious. The only drawback is that it requires quite a lot of oil. For three kilograms of clove fish, it is estimated that one kilogram of oil will be used to make this dish.

Everyone has experienced the era when there was no oil to eat. There are really not many families willing to cook this dish.

After the oil in the pot is cooked, Li Duoyu slowly puts the clove fish in and deep-fries it. There is no technical content in this dish, and most housewives along the coast can make it.

The only thing to note is that the clove fish is very small and the oil should not be too hot, otherwise it will be easily burnt.

After it was almost fried, Li Duoyu sprinkled a few handfuls of shrimp skin into it and fried it together to increase the seafood flavor.

Finally, scoop out a few tablespoons of black tempeh, add a little salt, monosodium glutamate, and sugar and stir-fry. After the aroma comes out, pour a circle of green and red wine next to it.

With a tingling sound.

The strong aroma of wine came to his nostrils. Li Duoyu covered the pot and simmered for a while, and the dish was completed.

When Li Duoyu finished cooking the clove fish, Xiaopangdun, Zhang Lin and Zhang Yun happened to be back, and the three children came over after smelling the fragrance.

"Uncle, what are you cooking? It smells so good." Little Fatty took off his schoolbag and red scarf and came to the kitchen.

The two girls, Zhang Lin and Zhang Yun, were quite reserved and did not run directly into the kitchen to ask.

Seeing his greedy look, Li Duoyu smiled and asked, "Does it smell good?"

Li Haoran nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "It smells really good. My mouth is almost watering."

Seeing Li Haoran swallowing saliva, Li Duoyu said with a wicked smile: "You can't eat it now. Let's eat it together when we have dinner in the evening."

"Ah, let me take a look at what it is. It smells so good."

"That won't work. After you see it, there will be no mystery anymore."

"what"

At this moment, little chubby Li Haoran seemed to have thousands of ants crawling in his heart. In the past, after school, he would run to the pier and play for hours.

I just stayed at home today and refused to leave. When grandma came back, she immediately urged: "Grandma, hurry up and make a fire to cook. Let's eat early today."

Chen Huiying asked: "Are you hungry?"

Zhang Lin and Zhang Yun on the side laughed and said: "He's not hungry, he's greedy. Third uncle made a pot of delicious food and said he can't eat until dinner."

Chen Huiying glanced at Li Duoyu and thought he had bought something expensive again.

"Your crab pond just had a problem. You need to save some money and don't spend it frivolously, you know?"

Li Duoyu smiled.

"I know, it's not much money."

To a fisherman, clove fish really doesn't cost much, but if his mother-in-law knew that he put a whole catty of rapeseed oil into this dish, she would definitely scold him to death. (End of chapter)
