In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Chapter 44 Buying a Used Boat
The second day back to Dandan Island.

The people from the credit union in the town came.

It's just a simple process.

After confirming whether Li Duoyu had the thirty-acre kelp breeding raft, they took a group photo together.

The inspection is over.

And the third day.

Li Duoyu got a small current savings passbook and was directly promoted to the current very powerful "[-]-thousand household".

As for Li Duoyu's loan.

The three men in the Li family kept silent and suppressed the news, even his mother Chen Huiying didn't let her know.

Zhou Xiaoying was still pregnant.

Li Duoyu didn't want her to bear the pressure of the loan, otherwise the pressure would be too great, which would be bad for the child in her stomach.

Seeing his father can't even eat for the past two days.

Li Duoyu regretted it a bit, and asked his father to go with him to get a loan.

If his father didn't know about the loan.

The pressure will not be so great.

Now, apart from knocking oysters, the rest of the time is spent helping him find out about the boat.

Funding is now in place.

In addition to the 800 loaned out, Li Duoyu has about [-] left.

He intends to be during this time.

Get out the fishing rafts on the sea, that is, the kind of floating houses fixed on the sea, although this thing is rare in Dandan Island.

But in their county there is a fishing village without land, Xiaqi Village. The whole village is built on the sea, connected by bamboo rafts, fishing rafts and fishing boats, where eating, drinking and drinking are all done.

But in ancient times.

These fishermen are called Danmin.

Due to discrimination by land residents and the government, the children of the Dan family cannot study in schools on land.

When they grow up, they cannot intermarry with people on land, they are not even allowed to wear shoes, they cannot build houses on land, and they can only float on the water all year round.

In the era of the Republic of China.

The status of the Dan people has improved, and they can go to the bank to build some thatched huts and log cabins.

Can be discriminated against all the year round.

Most Dan people still prefer to float on the water, and they have also made a lot of fishing rafts, and they can put the caught sea fish in the net bags in the fishing rafts for temporary breeding.

And Li Duoyu wants to build fishing rafts and small floating houses, just to facilitate the management of kelp.

Thirty acres of kelp is not much,
Say less and no less.

Once managed, it's still tiring.

If there is a house fixed on the sea.

If you are tired from work, hungry, or there is a sudden rainstorm, there is also a place to hide and cook.

The wooden piles that fixed the small house on the sea were laid down by Li Duoyu in advance when the piles were driven last time. Now he still lacks some materials, that is, moso bamboo that is not available on Dandan Island.

Speaking of it, moso bamboo is really a treasure for coastal farmers.

It can be used to make kelp piles,

It can be used for fishing rafts,
You can build a bamboo house,

It can also be used on tidal flats to dry laver and kelp.

But there are a lot of these things on the mountains in the mainland.

Li Duoyu even knew very well that in Gushan near Lianjiang County, there are a lot of moso bamboos on the mountain, and the price of a moso bamboo is not even five cents.

But this thing,

It cannot grow near the sea.

If fishermen by the sea want to buy moso bamboo, they have to go to the mountains to buy it.

But moso bamboo is cheap.

But the shipping cost is very high.

It is not only necessary to hire a truck to pull the moso bamboo from the mountains to the pier, but also to hire a fishing boat to pull the fishing boats at the pier back to the island.

In this era, the combined transportation cost is probably ten times the value of the moso bamboo itself.

Just when Li Duoyu was planning to find some time to go to Gushan to buy moso bamboo, his father's happy voice came from beside his ears.

"Duoyu, I found a good boat for you."

When Li Duoyu found his father, he was panting while talking, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat. Judging from the situation, he should have run back.

Li Duoyu saw this.

Quickly pour him a bowl of tea and let him take a break.

After Lao Li finished drinking the tea, he said excitedly:
"Hurry up and follow me. Lao Ye and his family are going to sell the boat. If they are going late, they might be snatched away first."

"Lao Ye?"

"That Ye Shuanglin by the pier?"

His father nodded: "That's right, it's him."

"Didn't he just buy the boat last year? Why is he going to sell it this year?"

"Come with me first, I'll tell you on the way."

"Okay, let's go right away."

Li Duoyu immediately rode the bicycle, and his father didn't care too much, he sat directly on the back seat of the bicycle, and told Li Duoyu why that old Ye was in a hurry to sell the boat.

The reason was that Lao Ye had a relative who fled to overseas provinces back then. Due to smuggling in the past two years, he happened to contact this relative through a large smuggling ship.

And his relative said that there was a way to get the whole family out, so Lao Ye's family was anxious to sell their property.

heard here.

Li Duoyu knew what was going on right away, and he didn't expect that the tide of smuggling had already begun.

After the two came to the pier.

Lao Ye, who was smoking a cigarette, was sitting on a fishing boat. After seeing the Li family father and son, he jumped onto the pier and greeted him warmly.

"Old Li, how are you thinking?"

"It's my fourth child who wants to buy it. It's useless to ask me. In the end, he has the final say."

After Li Duoyu arrived at the pier.

I saw the boat on the spot. It was a new boat. Although there were some bumps and bumps, it was well maintained. It didn't look like it had been overhauled. It was equipped with a 12-horsepower single-cylinder diesel engine.

Such a brand new one would cost at least three thousand at the shipyard.

Li Duoyu shouted: "Can I try the diesel engine?"

Lao Ye replied: "No problem, just try."

Li Duoyu took the crank, inserted it into the head of the diesel engine, and then spat on his hand.

friction friction.

Pressing the decompression valve with one hand, and holding the handle with the other hand, he shook it quickly.

When it first started shaking.

It was still a bit of a struggle, but after the inertia got up, it was very easy, and I shook it about twenty times.

Choking black smoke billowed from the nose.

Immediately afterwards, the diesel engine rang "da da da", Li Duoyu observed for a while, and found that the diesel engine had no signs of oil leakage.

Then he said with satisfaction: "This ship is fine, there is no problem."

Then jumped onto the pier.

Pulling Lao Li aside, he asked, "How much does Lao Ye plan to sell?"

"Lao Ye said he bought this boat for more than 3000 yuan, and now he wants to sell it for [-] yuan."

Li Duoyu frowned slightly.

Two thousand and five must be expensive.

But he knew that Lao Ye's family was anxious to collect money. When he smuggled to the island country, he borrowed a lot of money from neighbors and loan sharks.

Li Duoyu came to Lao Ye and said on the spot: "Uncle Ye, your boat is not bad, but it has been used for a year after all, if it can be sold for two thousand, I will pay directly."

After Lao Ye heard the price, his brows were all knit together: "Why don't I suffer a little bit, two thousand two hundred and five, you can see if it works."

Li Duoyu shook his head firmly.

"I don't have that much money, it's either two thousand, or I'll wait for someone else's boat."

He is not in a hurry about the boat. If it is really not possible to go to the day of the kelp seedlings, it is also possible to rent a boat directly from the people in the village.

But Lao Ye was different, he was in a hurry to leave.

Seeing Li Duoyu's tough look, Lao Ye sighed and said, "Forget it, two thousand is two thousand."

See price to talk down.

Li Duoyu then went home and took out two brand new packages of Great Unity, handing over the money with one hand and the ship with the other.

Touch this little fishing boat.

Li Duoyu couldn't help saying with emotion: "From today, I am also a person with a boat."
