In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

If the eel is healthy, Li Duoyu will be in a good mood. There are still more than two months until the soil use at the turn of summer and autumn, so time is relatively tight.

This time the volume was relatively large. The eel buyer named Norio Oda only signed a contract for 100,000 eels last time.

But just four months ago, I wrote to Li Duoyu saying:
The quality of his eels is very good, very popular in the island country, and all quarantine data meet the standards.

This time he may come to pick up the goods half a month in advance, hoping to order an additional 50,000 pieces on top of the original 100,000 pieces.

Since the breeding area went very well this year, Li Duoyu made a rough calculation and found that the total number of eels in all the eel ponds was about 150,000.

But Li Duoyu didn't plan to do all the foreign trade. He could only give him 120,000 tails at most. Even if he would make a little less money with the remaining 30,000 tails, Li Duoyu planned to take care of the domestic market.

Twenty thousand of them will be given to Xinyuan Aquatic Products, and the other ten thousand will be used for retail sales.

For Li Duoyu now, the most important thing is stability. As long as he survives for more than a month and waits until the live fish boat from the island country arrives, it will be his victory.

During this period, Li Duoyu kept telling Chen Wenchao to reduce the amount of feeding as much as possible. He would rather let the eels be underfed than overeat.

Sometimes, Li Duoyu feels that what he said on the Internet in his previous life is indeed correct.

If "people" eat too much, something will happen. The same is true for eels. If you eat too much, you will easily get stomach problems.

Li Duoyu took the dissected eels home and prepared to make them into grilled eels for Xiao Tutu and the others to eat.

This kid has been very difficult to take care of recently. He refuses to eat at all, and even refuses to eat the pork belly served to him. His mouth is like a lock, and he can't pry it open no matter how hard he tries.

She was so angry that she even took out a bamboo stick and wanted to hit him, but she always pretended and never wanted to hit him, so this bastard was not afraid now.

Li Duoyu also heard about it recently. Now this kid is so badass that dogs passing by can run faster than anyone else when they see him.

During this period, because the fishing rafts had not been rebuilt and the eel factory had collapsed, the puppies Hei Niu gave birth to were now reduced to little Tutu’s toys.

The hair of the dogs that "came ashore" was all pulled out by Xiao Tutu. The other little black dog was led by Xiao Tutu all day long, regardless of whether it wanted to or not, it was dragged away anyway.

In addition, his father is the village director, and this guy is now the little bully of the village. Anyone who sees him can't help but praise him, and no child dares to bully him.

Li Duoyu grilled eel in the yard.

Li Haoran, who had just returned home from school, smelled the fragrance from afar and trotted to his uncle's yard.

Li Haoran, who hadn't eaten grilled eel in almost a year, kept swallowing his saliva after smelling the taste: "Uncle, I'm going to make grilled eel today."

Li Duoyu glanced at the boy. It was unclear. If he had anything to ask, he just said, "If you want to eat grilled eel, just ask."

After seeing Li Hao, Li Duoyu couldn't help but want to tease him: "There are only a few days until the exam."

Hearing this, Li Haoran felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his expression looked very painful: "There are still 21 days."

Li Duoyu let out a sigh and said with a slight surprise: "Okay, I remember it so clearly. How are you preparing? Can you pass the junior high school entrance examination?"

Li Haoran smiled bitterly. Could it be unclear? The first thing your wife does when she arrives at school every day is to subtract one day from the countdown on the blackboard.

"Teacher Zhou said that if I can continue to maintain my grades, I should be able to get into junior high school."

Li Duoyu nodded:

"There is progress. Zhang Lin and Zhang Yun, who are very good, should be back. I grilled a lot of eels. You can ask them to come and eat grilled eels. By the way, if I see you Shui Huagu, I will also call you Come eat with her."

"Okay, I'll call them right away." Little Fatty ran so fast that he forgot to put down his schoolbag. After running out for a while, he ran back again.

Not long after, Zhang Yun and his sisters, as well as Sister Shuihua, who was holding her child, also came to his yard.

None of them had ever eaten grilled eel, but after smelling the aroma, they felt that it was a special meal. It was at least much more delicious than grilled saury.

Zhang Lin swallowed and asked Li Haoran: "Brother, have you ever eaten this before?"

Li Haoran said proudly: "Of course, my uncle's grilled eel is famous. Even the leaders of our city like to eat it. It is said that a grilled eel produced by my uncle's company can be sold for two or three yuan outside."

"So expensive?"

Zhang Lin's eyes widened.

With two or three yuan, they can buy thirty or forty cups of melon seeds and half a pound of orange candy.

Li Shuihua frowned slightly when she heard the price: "Why do you get such expensive things to eat?"

Li Duoyu said with a smile: "It is very expensive for others to eat, but it is not expensive for us to eat. We raise these eels ourselves, so the cost is not much."

Li Shuihua sighed: "That's good, otherwise I wouldn't be able to swallow it if it costs two or three yuan each."

Little Tutu, who recently refused to eat, was also attracted by the smell of grilled eel, dragging a little black dog in his hand that refused to walk.

It feels like after only playing with him for a few days, the hair on the puppy's body has almost been dragged away by him.

After little Tutu got home, she immediately hugged Li Duoyu's thigh and said in a sweet voice, "Dad, is it ready to bake? I'm so hungry."

Li Duoyu looked at the little Tutu in front of him. This little guy was already three years old. He could speak smoothly now and was full of milk.

Also, compared to Little Fatty, this guy is really too thin. If his father hadn't been the village director, he would have been bullied for his figure.

Li Duoyu looked at him with disgust: "Listen to your grandma, you haven't eaten recently, right? You don't want to eat eels either."

Little Tutu bulged her mouth and pulled up Li Duoyu's pants.

"The food doesn't taste good."

"The eel is delicious, I want to eat it."

Li Duoyu had a dark face and quickly pulled down his pants, almost embarrassing himself.

In his previous life, he had actually seen a little brat pull down the matriarch's trousers in a shopping mall. It was so embarrassing that he could dig out three rooms and one living room with his toes on the spot.

"You eat the rice first. After you finish eating, I will give you the eel."

Little Fatty finally heard it. If Little Tutu didn't eat, then they probably wouldn't have any eel to eat.

Little Fatty became anxious instantly and immediately assumed the role of big brother. He taught little Tutu in an old-fashioned way: "Tutu, you hurry up and eat, otherwise we will have no eels."

Little Tutu puffed his lips. Although he was reluctant, he seemed to listen to brother Li Haoran more than his father and grandma.

"Okay, I'm going to eat."

"Then after I finish eating, you want to play with me."

Chen Huiying burst into laughter when she heard this, and brought a bowl of rice out of the kitchen on the spot.

"Is this right? If you eat this bowl of rice, your father will give you eels to eat."

After seeing the bowl of rice, little Tutu ate the rice angrily and said: "Too much, too much rice."

"Grandma, I don't want fat."

The corner of Li Duoyu's mouth twitched: "Other people's children don't even have to eat meat, and you are still a picky eater. Mom, don't be too good to him in the future. Give him a few good hungry meals, and don't even give him meat." Let’s see if he can still choose.”

Li Duoyu originally thought that his mother-in-law would be on his side, but he didn't expect that he just said a few words about Tutu, but her mother-in-law glared at him instead.

"Don't talk about Tutu. You weren't much better when you were a child. You didn't have to eat anything at that time. You still didn't eat fat."

Li Duoyu looked surprised:
"It's impossible. At that time, we didn't even have to eat rice. How could I be picky about food? The most lacking thing at that time was oil and water."

Chen Huiying said: "If you don't believe it, you can ask your father to see if I lied to you."

At this time, Zhou Xiaoying, who had just returned from school, snorted coldly after hearing this: "I can testify to this. He did not eat fat meat in the past. Every time there was meat at home, he gave me the lean meat." Grab it and give me the fat."

"Ah~~"

Seeing that everyone was talking about him, Li Duoyu was very depressed: "No, we are educating Xiao Tutu now, why are everyone talking about me?"

Chen Huiying said with emotion: "I didn't teach you well before, so little Tutu just follows you now."

Li Duoyu is about to vomit blood. What kind of logic is this? It’s true that this child is my son, but what does his picky eating have to do with me? Could it be that this thing can also be inherited? If so, then it must be Lao Li’s fault.

At this time, Li Haoran chuckled and said, "Grandma, I'm not picky about food anymore. I'll eat everything."

As soon as Li Haoran finished speaking, Chen Huiying said with a little seriousness: "Wait a minute, give Haoran a little less eel, you are almost fat enough to turn into a ball. You don't need to walk anymore, just roll."

Li Haoran was stunned: "Grandma, I've been very tired from studying recently. I can't recite the books unless I eat well."

Chen Huiying hummed: "Every time I say I should eat enough, I will immediately run to bed and sleep as soon as I am full."

Zhou Xiaoying said: "If you eat too much, you will be more likely to feel sleepy, which is not good for your health."

Chen Huiying glanced at Zhou Xiaoying:
"Everyone else doesn't have enough to eat, but you are as thin as a bamboo pole, and you keep shouting about losing weight all day long. If you don't become a teacher, how can you do a job with your body?" "Ah~"

Zhou Xiaoying blinked her eyes, feeling that the fire would burn her body, and muttered: "Shanshan is thinner than me."

Li Duoyu was also a little puzzled. Logically speaking, grandma should have passed menopause. What happened today.

Li Duoyu glanced at Zhou Xiaoying, and suddenly thought that her bones had indeed been hit several times before, and it was quite painful.

"Aniang is right, you should really gain weight. You are too thin and you don't have much meat on your body."

Zhou Xiaoying glared at him fiercely.

I don’t know why, but today’s grandma is very capable in fighting, even Sister Shuihua was educated by her.

But Li Duoyu felt that this was like home, and he was not afraid of being scolded by his family members, especially by his mother-in-law.

He is afraid that one day there will be no one to scold you or care about you. That is the most terrifying thing.

Li Duoyu looked around and felt that this home seemed to be missing something.

Zhu Xiuhua is still prying oyster seedlings at the eel factory. She has pried two trucks today. On a piece-by-piece basis, she has already earned five yuan in wages.

If I kept working until midnight, I might be able to earn eight yuan. Although I was very tired, I was very happy when I received the money.

In this era, eight yuan can buy a lot of things. Zhu Xiuhua wiped the sweat from her forehead, raised her head and saw that everyone had gone back to eat.

And she stood up and took out two pieces of cake from her arms, intending to use them to satisfy her hunger first. When she was working in the eel factory, she was often so busy that she could only eat the cake.

But what she didn't expect was that just after she took a bite, Little Fatty ran over, carrying two large aluminum boxes and a can of thermos.

Li Haoran grinned and said: "Mom, my uncle is having grilled eels tonight. I brought two for you and gave you a portion of kelp tube bone soup."

"You love me the most in the whole family."

"Hehehe, that's for sure, I am your precious son."

When Zhu Xiuhua heard this, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, and her nose felt a little sore. She wanted to pinch her son's fat face, but her hands were smelly and dirty. After all, oysters are not very clean, and there are often all kinds of strange things. Organisms live on it.

"Haoran, please put the food on the ground first. I'll wash my hands before eating." Zhu Xiuhua took off his gloves and said, "Has your father eaten? He seems to be very busy these two days and has been staying at the eel factory."

Little Fatty scratched his head, a little afraid to speak, and hesitantly said: "My uncle is grilling eels today, and my father was also called to my uncle's house for dinner."

"That's it."

Zhu Xiuhua didn't think too much. She didn't know at all that Li Yaoguo, Li Duoyu, Chen Wenchao, Shitou and the others were here, as well as Xiao Jin, who was still wearing a plaster.

There we ate grilled eel, drank wine, and even had a drinking fight.

The period before and after the typhoon.

Everyone is really tired.

Almost all of them are running around the clock.

After Li Duoyu drank two bottles of Rongcheng beer chilled in well water, he thanked:
"During this period, I really appreciate everyone's support. I won't say any words of thanks. I'll just double our salary this month."

After hearing this, everyone present applauded: "Awesome."

"Brother Yu, you are mighty."

In fact, their wages are not high. Even Chen Wenchao, who was the first to come, only earns 60 yuan a month now.

Even if it doubles this month, it won't be particularly high, but people like them basically don't care about the salary anymore, and they will work hard even if they don't have any salary.

To put it bluntly, the current salary is for those employees who will join the Minlong citizens in the future, and has little to do with them, the veterans.

For example, Chen Wenchao, although his salary is not high, the money he earned last month was not even one-tenth of what the Zhao brothers made.

But he owns 2% of the entire Minlong Company, and he can get an additional 10% of the profits from blue crab farming.

Over the years, if every dividend was carefully calculated, Chen Wenchao would already have a household worth 10,000 yuan.

It's just that he kept a very low profile and continued to invest the money he earned in Minlong Food, because he was also afraid that Liu Xiaolan's brothers would stay at his house every day after knowing that he was rich.

The second brother, Li Yaoguo, although he does not have any shares in Minlong Food, he mainly specializes in the eel factory.

At the beginning of the year, Li Duoyu signed an agreement with his second brother. He would become the main person in charge of the eel factory and enjoy a 5% profit share from the eel factory.

Li Duoyu made a calculation. If he sells all the eels this year, he will immediately become a 10,000-yuan household.

As for the money, he didn't tell his second sister-in-law at all. The main reason was that his second brother was worried. As soon as his second sister-in-law got rich, he couldn't help but want to invest it.

Li Duoyu thinks that the second brother's worries are correct. The second sister-in-law is not a peaceful person. After a while, the scar will become healed and the pain will be forgotten.

As for the brother-in-law, he is currently mainly managing the shrimp farm, so he did not come back today. Although the shares are not as large as those of the brother-in-law, they still have 2%.

If the shrimp farm officially operates, the share between the two points will be quite considerable.

As for Shitou, Qingguang, and Xiaojin, they currently do not have a share. They can only wait for them to make achievements or be able to stand alone.

Li Duoyu planned to consider this matter again, but this time the stone was done well. He went to Dazhu Village alone to contact Brother Ou, coordinated with Master Zhang who drove the piles, and also contacted a group of people to plug the gap in the pond. On.

If you continue to exercise, you should be able to do it soon within a year or two. But even though I was eating with them, those eyes were fixed on the window of Granny Wang and his family next door.

Li Duoyu shook his head and sighed:
"This guy is hopeless."

But Li Duoyu doesn't intend to interfere in emotional matters. Time will fulfill everything and also dilute everything.

As long as you live long enough, you can see anything. There are also people who you loved before, but they cheated on you within a few years, leaving a lot of trouble.

If there was one thing that Li Duoyu didn't want to do, it was to be a matchmaker and lead others.

If the other person's family is happy, he will definitely thank you, but if the relationship is not going well, then he will definitely complain about everything.

That night, everyone drank and chatted in the courtyard until late. After the second brother finished drinking, he was thinking about going back to the eel factory to continue vigil. Unexpectedly, the second sister-in-law followed the sound and came over.

Seeing Li Yaoguo drinking there, he said with a smile: "Duoyu, your brother is very tired these days, let him rest for two nights, and find someone to keep vigil in his place."

The second sister-in-law has said so, how dare he say no?

Li Yaoguo, who was just slightly tilted up, immediately guessed what Zhu Xiuhua wanted to do, and said quickly: "The eels will be harvested soon, and the night is still very critical. I'd better go and keep vigil."

But what Li Yaoguo didn't expect was that Qing Guang, a stupid young man who had only drank two or three bottles of wine, actually patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother, my sister-in-law has said so. You can rest for two days. I have learned a lot from you during this period. I can cope with it for one or two nights."

After hearing this, Li Yao's face turned dark and he cursed secretly: "Fuck, this guy really doesn't understand the suffering of middle-aged men at all."

Zhu Xiuhua smiled and said: "Qing Guang is still sensible. Let's go. You haven't gone home to rest in almost two weeks."

Li Yaoguo showed a look of fear. Li Duoyu and others couldn't help but suppress their laughter, and they did not forget to fan the flames and said, "That's right, second brother, take a good rest."

It was midnight.

Everyone dispersed. After Li Duoyu took a shower, he went to the roof of his building and sat on a rocking chair.

The crescent moon.

Perhaps because it is approaching summer, the Milky Way above our heads is very clear, and the stars in the sky are also very bright, giving people the feeling of a bright galaxy.

This kind of scene will hardly be seen in twenty years, because by then, the light pollution in Rongcheng and the county seat will even affect them here.

By then, even on an island, there will be very few stars visible when looking up, let alone the Milky Way visible to the naked eye.

Li Duoyu enjoyed the silence of the moment very much, and at the same time, he was also thinking about the future direction of the company.

But what he didn't expect was that just now he was laughing at his second brother, but at this time, Zhou Xiaoying didn't seem to be asleep yet.

When she came to the stairs, she said to him: "Tutu has been sleeping for a long time. Why don't you go to bed yet? Go to bed quickly. There are still many things to be busy with tomorrow."

Li Duoyu can naturally understand the meaning of Zhou Xiaoying's words. They are an old couple, so they don't care what time you go to bed.

Be careful when someone urges you to go to bed early or says she can't sleep.

Li Duoyu sighed. He didn't know why, but he always felt a little weak recently. If he had known earlier, he should have stewed oysters with old wine to replenish his body.

"Okay, I'll come right away." (End of chapter)
