In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

(The purchase price of jellyfish has been adjusted to 5 cents. I'm sorry for staying up late to update twice. I really have to spend time with my kids tomorrow, so I can only update once.)
The summer moon is still very bright, but it will not illuminate the entire sea surface. There will only be light when people look in the direction of the moon.

From a distance it looked like a river of light, but the surroundings were still pitch black.

The fleet of more than 30 boats was still very conspicuous. When the boats from nearby villages and towns that went out to fish at night saw it, they all stared with wide eyes.

Some even said in horror: "So many ships suddenly came in the middle of the night, could it be the fleet of our good brothers?"

Some elders couldn't help but scold: "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. When the fleet of good brothers came, there were sea lights and blue lights."

"Uncle, have you seen it?"

"I haven't seen it. I just heard about it from my grandpa."

As the fishing boats got closer and closer, when everyone saw that the leading one was a white fishing boat, a young fisherman cursed on the spot:
"Shit, they are from Dandan Island again. They are not going to come here to fish again, are they?"

These fishermen are quite dissatisfied with the fishermen on their island because there are more and more fishing boats on their island.

Fishing boats from Dandan Island would appear from time to time in the sea where they usually fished, especially the shrimp thief who was able to run away.

Although there are no regulations on who owns some sea areas and everyone can go there to fish, this place is indeed closer to Xiaocheng Town.

It's a bit annoying to have other fishing boats coming to fish all the time.

Last year's anchovy fishing made the fishermen in their town very angry. The other party even dared to shoot, but their complaints to the county fell on deaf ears.

Now everyone in Xiaocheng Town is furious if so many boats from Dandan Island really come here to fish.

That's 100% going to go back and ask for help.

But what they didn't expect was that the fleet of Dandan Island did not move towards them, but circled around them and then headed towards the open sea.

A shirtless young man said: "If he really dares to come over, we will fight him."

When the young man said this, although his face was ferocious, his whole body couldn't help shaking.

An old fisherman kicked his foot lightly, and he instantly became a weakling and almost fell to the ground.

An old fisherman said disdainfully: "With your guts, you wouldn't dare to fight when a real fight comes."

The young man was not convinced and said, "There are so many ships, who wouldn't be afraid? When you were shot at, you didn't dare to fart."

The old fisherman sighed and said, "That's because you don't understand. Back then, there were pirates in our area. They were very fierce and dared to rob people directly in the village. No one in the whole county dared to fight them. Only Dandan Island had the courage to do so."

"Back then, Wang Laosi and Li Chengtuo were both famous ruthless men. When they fought, Wang Laosi swung a big knife and chopped the pirates' sail ropes. Li Chengtuo held explosives in his hands. Wang Laosi cut all their sail ropes, and those pirates didn't dare to say a word."

The young fisherman exclaimed:

"Is this true? Dandan Island was so powerful before."

"If they weren't fierce, would Chenjia Village have been driven to the other side? In the early years, those storytellers often talked about this."

The young fisherman suddenly said with disdain: "After all this talk, aren't you guys as cowardly as hell?"

Veteran fisherman Liu Dongyi said:

"What do you mean by cowardly? That's because you weren't born in a war era. When I was a kid, none of those who shouted for war and killing like you survived."

When the old fisherman said this, he suddenly looked towards the sea, tears welled up in his eyes, and thought of several of his childhood friends.

After Tie Niu, Stinky Chicken, and the crooked-headed old fisherman finished their last puff of cigarette, they said to the young man:
"You can curse me normally, but don't get carried away, okay? Our mayor wants to cooperate with Li Duoyu this year to catch anchovies together."

Several young fishermen were quite puzzled:

"Why should our mayor cooperate with him? We will definitely make the money ourselves this year."

Old fisherman Liu Dongyi shook his head helplessly: "No wonder the mayor always scolds you young people for only growing flesh but not brains.

Is our mayor such a fool? If he could do it himself, he would have done it long ago. The main reason is that only Li Duoyu can get the foreign trade order. Now the processing plant and the Japanese who purchased it only cooperate with him. "

"Grass!"

When the young fishermen heard this, they all fell silent. At this moment they seemed to have a deeper understanding of this society.

Liu Dongyi actually didn't want to tell these young people that the reality was even more cruel. A town mayor went to the Foreign Trade Bureau to get the foreign trade order for the anchovy.

But he didn't give me any face and said directly: "For clove fish, you can go directly to Director Li of Dandan Island. He has the export standards and docking information."

When their mayor heard this, he was furious, but there was nothing he could do. In the end, the only thing he could think of was cooperation.

Li Duoyu drove the boat at high speed on the sea for nearly two hours and finally led the fleet to the vicinity of Little Elephant Island.

Looking along the moonlight, the protruding part of Little Elephant Island really looks like a baby elephant drinking water.

Under the illumination of the lights, everyone discovered that under the sea surface, there were densely packed red jellyfish. In the clear moonlight, the caps of these jellyfish seemed to have a layer of blue light.

And at this moment, everyone saw a very interesting picture, which was the sunfish that is not often seen in daily life.

I actually saw two of them here at once, and they were very big. They were actually eating these jellyfish.

This fish is also a very clumsy swimmer. It probably thinks it can't outrun the fishing boat and is too lazy to run. Even when the fishing boat approaches, it is still eating the jellyfish with its "cherry mouth".

It doesn't look like you have to bite it. It's more like eating jelly. You just suck it and swallow the jellyfish directly.

And it's not just the sunfish that are eating the jellyfish. There are also a lot of peeling fish nearby that surround the jellyfish and bite them from time to time. What they love most are the poisonous tentacles of the jellyfish.

When faced with these sea fish that are not afraid of poison, these jellyfish really have no way to deal with them and can only let them eat them.

At this time, Lao Lu saw the jellyfish clearly and couldn't help but say, "No wonder Duoyu asked us to catch jellyfish. It turned out to be this kind of jellyfish."

The fisherman who rarely catches jellyfish asked, "Lao Lu, what's the difference between this jellyfish?"

"This kind of jellyfish is actually very rare here. Generally, only the good ones are found in the north. Let me tell you, there are many varieties of jellyfish, but this one is definitely the best." "How does it compare to the jellyfish caught in Chenjia Village?"

Old Lu shook his head and said, "How can this be compared? The jellyfish caught in Chenjia Village are big, watery, and meatless. Fortunately, it is this kind of jellyfish, otherwise when Duoyu said it was only five cents a piece, I would have wanted to scold him."

"Hahaha."

A fisherman took the lead and scooped up one or two jellyfish, weighing them briefly:
"Sure, it's less than 20 kilograms on average, one person can do it, and if the quantity is large, five cents is not bad."

To be honest, when Lao Lu saw this kind of jellyfish, he really wanted to catch it himself, but he didn't know how to cook jellyfish.

If this thing is not processed immediately, it will soon turn into a puddle of water, and if it is not processed well, the taste will not be very good.

Forget it, I'll just work for Duoyu this time, and then start my own business after I've learned the skills.

Old Lu said to his son-in-law:

"Yuan Sheng, I don't think it's cost-effective to charter a boat. Let's just use the net to pull it. With this amount, if we work hard, it won't be a problem to earn three or four hundred a day."

Zhang Yuansheng also smiled and said, "Sure, I'll roll up my sleeves and work hard today."

Old Lu said unhappily, "So you were always slacking off before?"

Zhang Yuansheng grinned and said, "How is that possible? I was just not used to the local climate before, and I was a little uncomfortable with it. Now I have adapted."

Lao Lu was too lazy to expose him, so he took out the small trumpet on his boat and shouted to Li Duoyu: "Duoyu, I don't want to charter the boat anymore, we will also charge by the boat."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Okay, but you have to count them yourself. I don't have the time to count them for you."

When the fleet arrived, they saw that the sea was densely covered with jellyfish. Without wasting any time, they took out their scoop nets and started fishing.

One person shines a flashlight while another uses a long scoop net to catch them directly. Some boats have three or four people on them, which makes them more efficient.

After fishing for a while, the Zhao brothers realized that they were right to trust Brother Yu, and it was indeed more cost-effective to fish by the piece.

If you work hard, earning one or two hundred yuan a day is not a problem at all. For today's fishermen, earning one or two hundred yuan a day is something they would smile about even in their dreams.

Not long after, everyone felt that chartering a boat was not cost-effective, and they all switched to purchasing by the piece.

Li Duoyu was not idle after arriving here, but put down the blocking net with his cousin.

Due to the ocean currents, the originally straight net quickly turned into a crescent shape in a short while.

The middle part of the net was filled with jellyfish, so Li Duoyu and Li Shuguang didn't even need to take a boat to look for jellyfish.

You just need to use the scoop net to scoop up jellyfish in the middle of the net. It is very efficient, but a bit tiring.

After catching less than two hundred jellyfish, Li Duoyu couldn't help but knock his hard waist.

The first person he thought of was his second sister-in-law. He really hoped that today's fishermen could let go of those damn old rules and liberate women's productivity.

Since jellyfish take up quite a bit of space, the more efficient fishing boats soon filled up a whole boatload.

The second brother did not come this time, and Shitou took over to keep the accounts. This kid has been hit hard recently and his spirit is a little depressed.

But he still did not neglect his work. He followed the method taught by Brother Yu and did not need to count the number of jellyfish specifically.

The average weight of these jellyfish is about 20 kilograms, so just weigh them and divide by 20.

But after collecting only a few boats, Li Duoyu discovered a very annoying problem: his eldest cousin Li Shuguang had already piled up baskets of jellyfish.

The boat has reached the red waterline and can't carry any more. Li Duoyu's boat is almost done.

Lao Lu's small tugboat caught seven or eight hundred fish in one net. If he used two more nets, his boat would not be able to accommodate them. At this fishing speed, he would have to return in less than an hour.

The cost of fuel is a bit high. Li Duoyu frowned, feeling that this won't work.

If I really can't wait for my uncle and the others to come back, I might as well hire the transport ship from the processing plant.

At this time, a faint blue light had appeared on the eastern seashore, and it seemed that dawn was approaching.

Everyone took a simple rest. Some people took out mooncakes, some took out steamed buns, almost everyone had a marching kettle, and some people directly used those white plastic buckets to get tea.

At this time, a large iron-hulled ship appeared on the sea not far away, and then the sound of Li Duoyu's ship radio rang out.

"This is Minrongyu 056, the one in front is Minrongyu 107, can you hear me?"

After hearing this, Li Duoyu was very excited and immediately replied:
"This is Minrongyu 107, you can hear it."

"I can hear it. The radio is very clear."

"Minrongyu 056, do you have any room on your boat? We have a lot of jellyfish here and we need your help to transport them back."

"Minrongyu 056 received, there is still a lot of space on the ship, apply to join your fleet."

Because everyone was on the same channel, no one knew which nearby fishing boat heard their conversation and joined in.

"Minrongyu 056, Minrongyu 107, what are you salvaging? We would also like to apply to join your fleet."

Li Duoyu replied with a smile:

"There's no room for you. If you come over, you'll be charged a seat fee."

"Can you tell me what you are fishing for?"

"We're catching the big treasure."

"Fuck you." (End of this chapter)
