In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Even if the New Year is approaching.

There are still many fishing boats fishing on the sea, some pulling small trawl nets, and others setting gill nets.

When heading to Qingkou Pier, Li Duoyu encountered several familiar fishing boats.

After Zhao Erniu and the girl from the pirate broke up over the bride price, the two brothers have now reconciled and started fishing together again.

Seeing Li Duoyu's fishing boat passing by, the two brothers gestured to Li Duoyu's fishing boat from a distance away.

Li Duoyu is also an old fisherman. When he saw this gesture, he immediately understood it and directly changed the direction of the boat.

Then, he took out a loud voice and shouted: "You two, you can put the nets in other places. Don't put the floating nets on the waterway. If the propeller is caught, I will scold you later."

Although far away, Li Duoyu could vaguely hear the two brothers shouting: "It won't happen next time."

The villagers who were riding on the boat couldn't help but said: "These two brothers are really good at causing trouble."

Someone else said: "Don't tell me, in just two years, these two brothers also bought a boat and built a house, and their income is no less than others."

When this person said this, everyone realized that the Zhao brothers were already so rich.

Less than fifteen minutes.

Li Duoyu's fishing boat arrived at Qingkou Pier, and the villagers who boarded the boat thanked Li Duoyu one after another.

"Thank you, Director Li. Your boat is comfortable, fast and stable."

Someone replied: "Can you feel uncomfortable? There are hundreds of thousands of imported ships, and this is the only one in the entire Rongcheng."

At this time, there was an elder who seemed to be his mother's aunt? Asked: "Duoyu, don't you go to catch the fish?"

Li Duoyu didn't know what to call her, so he smiled and replied: "I didn't go to the fair today, I planned to go to Rongcheng."

"Then let's go first. If you have time, call your mother and come back to Chenjiacun to make tea. When I was a child, I took your mother with me, and she looks really similar to you."

"Okay, I'll definitely go when I have time."

After the relationship between the two villages was restored, Li Duoyu discovered that there were really many foreign relatives on her mother's side, because her grandfather and grandma had so many brothers and sisters.

Coupled with the fact that marriages with outsiders are rare, if you go back a few generations, you will find that half of the village is full of relatives.

Because she was still waiting for her uncle Chen Dongqing, Zhou Xiaoying read the novel directly in the cab of the fishing boat.

Although I usually spend most of my free time learning English, for some reason recently I have become particularly obsessed with martial arts novels written by Gu Long. The one I am currently reading is "The End of the World".

Compared to Jin Yong's novel, Li Duoyu prefers Cologne because the protagonists in it are very cool and always drink.

If I remember correctly, it seemed that Gu Long drank himself away a few months ago because of his frequent drinking.

But if I want to say that I like it the most, it must be Huang Yi, especially the book "Looking for Qin". Li Duoyu reread it several times back then.

Seeing Zhou Xiaoying reading the novel seriously, Li Duoyu did not disturb her, but said: "Fu Hongxue, finally."

Li Duoyu was just joking, but Zhou Xiaoying immediately covered her ears and became unusually fierce:

"If you dare to give me spoilers, you won't have a good New Year this year."

Li Duoyu grinned and said, "Look at how nervous you are, I just want to scare you."

Zhou Xiaoying hummed: "You used to do this all the time, okay? Every time I read a villain's book, you just tell me the ending."

Li Duoyu glanced at his watch and guessed that his uncle shouldn't be that fast. After all, his aunt had to put on makeup when going out.

My uncle also complained to Li Duoyu countless times because of this incident.

"Xiaoying, I'm going to go to the pier for a walk. If my uncle arrives, please call me."

Zhou Xiaoying looked at him with disgust: "Go quickly, don't disturb me reading."

The New Year is approaching.

Qingkou Pier has become very busy, with fishing boats of all sizes coming here to sell fish.

With more fish sellers, there will naturally be more fishmongers. Fishmongers from other docks also came here to grab business, and there were many new faces that Li Duoyu didn't know.

"The four hairs of a waxed fish,

Yellow chicken with three hairs
The big yellow croaker is one yuan. If you want to sell it, come to me now. "

After hearing this price, Li Duoyu's eyes lit up. In just two years, the price of large yellow croaker has really risen.

However, it seems that fewer and fewer people are catching it. The number of fishermen who caught large yellow croaker on Dandan Island this year can be counted on two hands.

That's when.

A trawler sounded its whistle and was about to pull into the dock.

The eyes of the fishmongers were all attracted, and some fishmongers guessed on the spot: "I bet 50 cents that this boat may be hairtail."

"I'll bet a piece, it must be the Spanish mackerel."

When Li Duoyu saw the serial number of the trawler, he couldn't help but smile and said lightly: "I won't bet money with you, but all the people on the boat should be moray eels."

Several fishmongers from other places looked at Li Duoyu and said, "How is it possible? We have been dealing with seafood for so many years. Who will have enough food to go fishing for sea eels in this season?"

As soon as the trawler docked, the two fishmongers' eyes widened when they saw the densely packed bamboo jars.

"Damn it, who would have guessed if we were to catch moray eels this season."

After the trawler docked, Lao Zhang, who is still working at a fish processing factory, boarded the boat directly without waiting for the fishmongers to ask for a price.

And he said to everyone: "No need to quote, this ship's conger eels are collected by the processing factory."

"Old Zhang, please leave some conger eels for us."

Anyway, I was idle. Seeing everyone moving the eels, Li Duoyu couldn't help but go up to help.

As soon as he got on the boat, his second uncle looked surprised: "Duoyu, why are you here?"

Young man Chen Liang said: "What's surprising? I saw Brother Yu's fishing boat from a long way away."

Due to the success of clove fishing, the aquatic product processing factory now has in-depth cooperation with the fishermen of Dandan Island.

If the processing factory has needs, they can go directly to their island and notify them directly using broadcasting equipment.

This time the processing factory wants to make shredded eel, and the eel used in this shredded eel is not freshwater eel, but the most common eel on the seaside.

The locals generally call it yellow eel. The output of this kind of conger eel is very large, and it is also one of the favorite snacks of fishermen. It is a very good dish to accompany wine.

Trawlers often catch this fish, but the best way to catch moray eels in large numbers is to set traps.

The bamboo tubes on Sanshu’s trawler are specially used to catch moray eels and octopus.

Eels are particularly fond of drilling holes. Fishermen usually put some cheap miscellaneous fish in bamboo tubes to attract moray eels and octopus.

In addition, the entrance of the bamboo tube is in the shape of an inverted cone made of bamboo strips, making it easy to get in and difficult to get out. Once you get in, you can't get out.

In fact, in addition to eels, there are also a lot of sea fish on the beach that like to drill holes. This is why they dare not swim naked in the sea.

Who knows, are there any sea fish that really don’t have eyes? The craziest thing is that there was a folk remedy spread on the island. If someone has intestinal obstruction, they can use eels to relieve constipation.

There are many folk remedies like this on the island, and the four old men in the square who love playing four-color cards know the most. After Li Duoyu helped move a few baskets of moray eels, he saw a shuttle bus coming from the direction of the county town in the parking lot.

Looking from a distance, I saw that my uncle Chen Dongqing and his family had come to the pier and were walking towards Li Duoyu's fishing boat.

After Li Duoyu briefly washed his hands, he also came to the fishing boat.

As expected, my aunt had dressed up just before going out. She still smelled of perfume, had big wavy hair that was popular nowadays, and was wearing a fur coat.

These days, there are no animal protection organizations. Furs and leather jackets are definitely a symbol of wealth and status.

My aunt's outfit feels out of place with Qingkou Pier. If I have to say it, she feels more like a woman in a big city.

In comparison, Xiaoying is much more ordinary. She only wears a blue-gray two-row buttoned coat with a large collar and a ponytail tied with a bow. In this era, this is a bad street dress, but Xiaoying's temperament is there. , even in the most ordinary dress, I feel much better looking than my aunt.

When my aunt saw them, she immediately apologized: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting. The bus was late just now."

The uncle, who looked unhappy, muttered in a low voice: "Where is the shuttle bus? It's obviously you who is putting on makeup."

Before my uncle could finish speaking, he felt great pain in his buttocks. Two fingers pinched his buttocks hard and left and right.

Li Duoyu glanced at it and his eyelids twitched. This skill is indeed universal for women.

"Don't worry, we've only just arrived."

Li Duoyu really rarely had contact with this aunt. He only had contact with his uncle once last time when he had a drink with her and sent him home.

Although he had little contact with her, he knew her quite well, and his uncle had complained to him a lot in the past two years.

My aunt is also a technical secondary school student, and her family situation is relatively good. She is currently working at a grain station in the county, and she is also a guaranteed rice bowl.

Now the combined monthly salary of the two of them is more than 100 yuan. Because their aunt works as a worker at a grain station, their family hardly has to spend any money on their daily expenses.

Along with them, there was a little girl about six years old, dressed like a princess, wearing a fluffy long skirt and a pair of shiny leather shoes.

After seeing Li Duoyu, the little girl grinned and said, "Hello, cousin Duoyu."

Li Duoyu was quite happy when he saw Wenwen, but the word "cousin" made him somewhat awkward.

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Wenwen, I am so much older than you, you should just call me uncle."

Chen Wenwen said with a serious face: "My dad said that you will definitely let me call you uncle, but if this happens, the seniority will be messed up. Then if I call my dad, will I have to become grandpa?"

These words immediately put Li Duoyu out of control. He glanced at Chen Dongqing, who was laughing until his stomach hurt, and said with disgust: "You are childish, you actually teach a child to talk like this."

"My pleasure."

Although Xiaoying and her aunt had never had any contact with each other, the two women of similar age immediately became familiar with each other without even talking to each other.

After boarding the ship, Li Duoyu sailed away from Qingkou Pier, but when heading to Rongcheng, he turned to the nearby Qixing Bay and took a special look.

Chen Dongqing, who was smoking a cigarette, asked: "Why did you suddenly turn to Qixing Bay? Is there anyone else who wants to get on the boat?"

Li Duoyu shook his head and said, "No, it's just that I cooperated with the town committee some time ago and rented this entire piece of land. It just happened to be on my way, so I came to take a look."

Chen Dongqing was a little surprised: "How much did you rent it for? You rented the entire area?"

"Twenty yuan per acre per year, that's almost a thousand acres of rent."

Chen Dongqing frowned slightly: "The price is not cheap, but it is not a loss. Qixing Bay is a good place. At first, our institute also wanted to set up a nursery base here, but Shangfeng Town didn't even think of it at that time. This land.”

Li Duoyu smiled. At that time, the town leader and Brother Shui were wearing the same pants. Brother Shui also had his eye on this land back then and wanted to build a seaside entertainment city here, so naturally he refused to give it to the institute.

Chen Dongqing said: "By the way, I have something to tell you in advance. Several documents suddenly came from the county, which put a lot of pressure on Director Zhang. Now we are required to carry out all-round cooperation with a Haixin company. .
The procedures for your shrimp seedlings were originally completed, but the county abruptly stopped it, and all the subsidies from the previous cooperative bases had to be withdrawn. "

Chen Dongqing sighed: "Duoyu, do you and Secretary Chen have any issues with the county leaders?"

After Li Duoyu heard this, he was silent for a while. The eel factory where his second sister-in-law worked seemed to belong to Haixin.

It seems that my development direction overlaps with that of this company.

Li Duoyu smiled: "Maybe we are too good and make some people jealous."

"I told you a long time ago, don't be too arrogant. No leader will like you if you are always in the limelight."

Li Duoyu said helplessly: "It's the leaders above who want me to be in the limelight. What can I do? Besides, I can't keep a low profile even if I want to. Xiaoying and I will go to Hong Kong with the senior leaders next year." Island to participate in activities.”

Chen Dongqing's eyes widened: "Ah"

"what?"

"You and Xiaoying are both going to Hong Kong Island?"

Li Duoyu nodded: "It should be a sorority. I went there as a young entrepreneur."

"I'm going. I'll strangle you to death first. Why don't you take me with you?"

"I want to take my wife with me too. How could I take you with me?"

On the boat, the men talked about business, while the women talked about daily life, from clothes to children.

Before I knew it, I had arrived at Rongcheng Pier, which was even more lively.

Due to Chen Yuan Yuan's generosity, the price of seafood has plummeted this year. The fishmonger is not very happy, but the locals who buy seafood have smiles on their faces.

Carrying a bamboo basket in one hand and pushing a bicycle in the other, they asked for prices in front of each stall.

Li Duoyu parked his fishing boat, paid the management fee, hailed two rickshaws near the pier, and went to the Overseas Chinese Friendship Store near East Street.

There were many people gathered at the door of the store, some came to watch the fun, and some came to sell things.

"Fishballs, delicious fishballs."

Li Duoyu heard the familiar sound of bowl knocking, but without thinking, he saw the old man selling fish balls on a bicycle again.

What surprised Li Duoyu the most was that there were already “purchasing agents” these days.

There were several young people carrying pockets. After seeing them, they came over with smiles on their faces.

"Boss, do you want to go to the Friendship Store to buy something? Do you have any foreign exchange coupons? If not, we can take you in."

Li Duoyu couldn't help but ask: "If I let you bring it in, how much will it cost?"

The two young men said: "For foreign exchange coupons, it's ten to fifteen, and we'll take another ten percent."

Li Duoyu's eyes widened: "You guys are too cruel. If you make one hand in foreign exchange, you still have to make another hand in commission."

The two young men laughed and said: "Boss, you can't say that. It's different if we take you in. We are familiar with the waiters inside. If you want to buy something, you don't have to queue up."

Li Duoyu couldn't help but sigh. In this era, as long as you have the connections and a flexible mind, you can really make a lot of money.

But Li Duoyu glanced at them and realized that these two people were most likely Ma Zai, and there was someone else who was really making money.

"We have foreign exchange coupons, you can just go in by yourself."

When they heard that they had foreign exchange coupons, the two young men looked disgusted: "I already told you that we had foreign exchange coupons. It was a waste of our time."

When a group of them entered the Friendship Store, Xiaoying, her uncle, and her aunt all showed their foreign exchange coupons and entered the store directly.

Only when it was Li Duoyu's turn, he was stopped on the spot: "Comrade, stop and show me your ID" (End of Chapter)
