In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

There really wasn't anything big on the beach, and Li Duoyu was too lazy to scoop water from the puddle. Not only was it time-consuming and laborious, but there was also a chance that he would come up empty-handed.

Most of the videos of pumping puddles in the previous life were pre-arranged scripts.

Speaking of which, Li Duoyu was also a member of the crew, but he did not appear in front of the camera. Instead, he was responsible for providing props to the anchors.

When Li Duoyu was pulling the trap, he clearly felt it was very heavy. The two brothers did not disappoint him.

He was willing to spend a lot of money and used pig lungs as bait. The ground trap was full of not only fish but also shrimps, all good stuff.

And there is also the spicy seafood strips that Li Duoyu hates the most. Fortunately, he discovered it early, otherwise, if he took a bite of this thing, it would be no joke.

After seeing this thing, Li Duoyu helped the two brothers to deal with it. The spicy seafood strips are really strong in water.

But as soon as it was brought ashore, it was immediately useless. Li Duoyu had just picked it up on shore when it was immediately beaten up by several seabirds.

Li Duoyu did not take all the things in the trap, but took away the best seafood, such as orchid crabs, shrimps, octopuses and so on.

Li Duoyu returned the remaining oxtails and mullets. Although it was unethical to take other people's things, he had a bottom line. He at least left half for the two brothers and helped them reorganize the traps.

However, what Li Duoyu didn't know was that the Zhao brothers had just come back from collecting traps from the other end.

Just when Li Duoyu was about to touch the trap, Zhao Erniu had already discovered it and immediately picked up a stone and wanted to throw it at him.

Fortunately, Zhao Dahai stopped him in time: "You are crazy, look who that is."

Because Li Duoyu was bending over, Zhao Erniu didn't see clearly until he saw the person's face.

Zhao Erniu's eyes widened and he whispered, "Brother, why did you steal our traps?"

Zhao Dahai said disdainfully: "Do you know how to speak? Is the word 'steal' appropriate to describe Brother Yu?"

"Remember what the eldest brother told us when we were in jail? When a person's status reaches a certain level, it's no longer called stealing, it's called taking."

Zhao Erniu nodded. Those few months made the two brothers fully understand one thing: this is a world with strict hierarchy.

It’s just like the boss in that prison. He doesn’t even have to steal or rob. Everyone will take the initiative to give him the good things.

There are even a few delicate and tender girls who would take the initiative to sleep in his bed at night.

Zhao Erniu looked at the freshly caught sea fish in his bucket and said with a grin, "Brother, do you think we should give some good fish to Brother Yu?"

Zhao Dahai rolled his eyes and said:

"Hurry up and find a woman. You are so unreasonable. Let me ask you something. What is your biggest fear after catching a turtle while fishing?"

Zhao Erniu understood instantly.

"It means Brother Fish didn't catch anything, so he came to steal our traps."

"Take, not steal."

"How many times do I have to tell you? Don't mention this anymore. Otherwise, if Brother Yu finds out, he might not help us get rich in the future."

Li Duoyu returned to the beach carrying a bucket of seafood. He felt a chill on his back but was completely unaware that two pairs of eyes were staring at him not far away.

With these seafoods, you can make a decent seafood dinner.

When Li Duoyu came back, the sun was already setting and Chen Wenchao, holding his daughter, was already waving at him.

"Brother Yu, the sweet potatoes are ready."

When Li Duoyu placed a large bucket full of seafood in front of everyone, everyone opened their mouths wide.

"Uncle, you are so amazing. You caught so many."

Xiaopangdun and Xiaotutu instantly became his fans. They gathered around his bucket of seafood and observed it. They even poked one of the big red octopuses with a wooden stick.

Unexpectedly, this big octopus was very ferocious. It started to snatch the branch. Its tentacles climbed up along the branch and touched Tutu's hand, which scared him.

Village Party Secretary Chen Jianghe looked at the scattered small clams in his bucket and couldn't help but sigh.

Although he has lived on the island for half a year, to be honest, nine out of ten times he went to the beach to catch seafood, but he came back empty-handed.

He was quite satisfied with how much he caught this time, but it was nothing compared to the bucket that Director Li had.

There was a whole bucket, not only sea fish, but also crabs, shrimps, octopuses, eels, really all kinds of things.

After seeing so many varieties, even Chen Jianghe couldn't help but think, can all these really be caught with just bare hands?

But when I think about the fact that Li Duoyu is a bit weird, maybe it's possible.

Previously, he, like most people, thought that Li Duoyu’s jellyfish would not be able to be sold at a high price.

So I didn't take it seriously and didn't report the situation to my superiors. As a result, not only was it exported, it was also sold at a sky-high price of three yuan per pound.

The next day after the county leaders found out, he was called to the county committee by County Magistrate Tao and given a scolding.

Probably because the matter was not reported in advance, the foreign exchange order for the jellyfish was snatched away by the Fisheries Bureau.

Nowadays, the county leaders require him to report his work every three days, and Li Duoyu must follow up immediately when he makes any major move.

He also issued a strict order that he must maintain a good relationship with Li Duoyu at all costs and ensure that every foreign trade export of Minlong Food must be firmly registered in the county.

This was also the reason why, as soon as he heard that Li Duoyu was going to ask for Xiao Hai, he immediately ran over with the bucket in his hand.

Chen Jianghe didn't feel it before, but now he feels that working with outstanding people is really too stressful, so much so that if he doesn't do something, he is like a transparent person.

Zhou Xiaoying, who also had experience in fishing, took a glance at Li Duoyu's bucket of seafood and instantly understood what was going on.

She still believed that sea fish, crabs, eels, dog sharks and the like could be picked up in the reef area.

It’s a bit unrealistic to catch so many shrimps, or maybe they just secretly went to the dock to buy them.

They have been together for so many years, and Zhou Xiaoying felt that it was not impossible. But seeing that the seafood were still alive and kicking, it was estimated that the probability was higher that they were snatched from someone else's Internet. I just don't know whose Internet was so unlucky that he snatched them.

Seeing that he was so concerned about saving face, Zhou Xiaoying was too lazy to point it out and let him pretend for a while.

Just at this moment, a thin little boy came over with a sweet potato that was half roasted into charcoal.

"Uncle Li, have some roasted sweet potatoes."

Li Duoyu looked at the handsome little boy in front of him with a smile. This time, Lin Shanshan and her son were responsible for roasting the sweet potatoes.

He only knew that Lin Shanshan's son's surname was Xiao. He forgot his specific name, but his nickname seemed to be Winter Melon.

Although Xiao Weidong was imprisoned because he stole oysters from his family, the child was very sensible and did not bear any grudge against him at all. On the contrary, he was very grateful to him.

It can be said that the reason why Lin Shanshan is such a strong woman has a lot to do with this child.

The main thing is that this child has always been very well-behaved and can be considered a sweet boy. Even if everyone goes to the beach to play, he chooses to stay and help his mother roast sweet potatoes.

Families like Lin Shanshan's often make children mature early. After all, with a father like that, it's hard not to be mature.

Li Duoyu was quite impressed by the little boy in front of him.

But it was in the previous life.

At that time, not long after Li Duoyu returned from the island country, he went to Rongcheng with Xiaoying to help take care of the children.

I remember that at that time, Lin Shanshan had developed very well and became a famous lawyer, and her son, Donggua in front of him, was doing much better than his son and opened a company in Rongcheng.

As soon as he learned that they had arrived in Rongcheng, he immediately held a banquet to entertain them personally.

The overall feeling that Donggua gave Li Duoyu was that he was the kind of person who, after being caught in the rain, would think of holding an umbrella for others.

But in the final analysis, Li Duoyu still thinks that Lin Shanshan has received a good education, otherwise such an unfortunate original family would be contagious to the next generation.

Although the baked sweet potatoes don’t look good and are as black as charcoal, these baked sweet potatoes that will blacken your mouth are definitely the sweetest.

Not long after Li Duoyu came back, his eldest aunt and third aunt also came back. Their goal was very clear, which was to pry oysters.

Although this rock oyster is small, it tastes very delicious and is very suitable for making oyster soup.

There is also the fried oysters from Ludao. The most authentic ones must be made with rock oysters. If you use farmed oysters like the ones from Li Duoyu, the taste will definitely not be the same.

As the sun slowly turned red, my second brother and his wife also came back.

No one knew what the two men were doing. Anyway, after they came to the beach together, they ignored their little fat boy and then disappeared.

When I came back, I didn't have any seafood in my hands. When others asked me, I just walked around nearby.

But Li Duoyu felt that something was wrong with his second brother. He ate four or five roasted sweet potatoes in a row as soon as he came back, even though sweet potatoes were what he hated the most.

Zhou Xiaoying looked at the gorgeous beach in front of her and couldn't help being fascinated. Then she pouted and looked at Li Duoyu.

I don’t know how long it has been.

She hadn't walked on a beach like this with Li Duoyu since she returned to the village to become an elementary school teacher.

This guy is very active. He often goes to the beach with her to play. It seems like it was six or seven years ago.

Zhou Xiaoying was just about to ask if they should bring the camera over. She planned to take a photo together in the sunset.

But Li Duoyu counted the heads on the spot, and when he saw that everyone was here, he said directly:

"The Ghost Festival is coming soon. Pack up your things and go home early. Come to my house for dinner tonight. I will make delicious food for everyone and let you try the raw pickled poison from Chaoshan."

Li Haoran looked puzzled and kept blinking: "Uncle, can I eat pickled poison?"

Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment, then he realized that the word he said was too advanced for them now.

Li Duoyu didn't want to explain too much: "Anyway, you will know after you eat it, but children can't eat it."

Li Haoran asked: "Why?"

"It's called poison. If you eat too much, you will definitely have diarrhea."

"Hey, then I'll eat less."

After returning to the village, the eldest aunt and the third aunt did not go to have dinner with Li Duoyu, but went back to their own homes.

When they left, they also gave him a bad omen. The two of them were the main cooks in the family. If they didn't go home to cook, it was estimated that the families of the eldest uncle and the third uncle would rush directly to his house for dinner.

After Li Duoyu led a group of people home, the first thing Xiao Tutu did was to turn on the air conditioner. A group of people watched TV in the living room while enjoying the air conditioning.

That was quite pleasant.

If adults and children watch TV together, conflicts are likely to arise, as children definitely like watching cartoons.

Adults prefer to watch TV dramas, and in this era, children's voices are often meaningless.

The show that was finally broadcast on TV was "Four Generations Under One Roof" written by Lao She, which is a relatively heavy TV series.

Just like what he said this afternoon, he cooked himself and started with some ordinary steamed seafood.

There was also a plate of cucumber jellyfish, a plate of jellyfish heads with old vinegar, some blood clams with sauce and a plate of crispy sea sausage.

Next, clean today's seafood and put some ice cubes to chill them.

If you want to make raw pickled poison, you must have enough ingredients. There is really no such thing as lemon on the island. Fortunately, the Hu family next door seemed to have planted some basil some time ago.

It’s okay without lemon, but without it, the pickled poison is like missing a soul.

It just so happened that my neighbor Lao Hu was not at home these days. He went to the county town to help his son run the store and take care of the children.

Li Duoyu came directly to his door and simply blew a whistle. His dog, who was responsible for guarding the house, came over and opened the door for him, wagging its tail.

Seeing Li Duoyu pulling out the grass that it didn't like, the big black dog wished it could help him pull it all out.

Li Duoyu patted its head and said, "You did a good job. I'll give you a few bones to chew tomorrow."

The big black dog seemed to understand. It barked happily twice and then went back to sleep.

By the time Li Duoyu's Chaoshan pickled food was ready and the food was cooked, it was already past seven o'clock.

"Stop looking, let's eat."

But this group of people insisted on watching the entire episode before coming to eat, and even his father, Lao Li, was the same.

When it was time to eat, looking at half the table full of raw seafood, Lao Li shook his head and said he definitely wouldn't eat it.

Zhou Xiaoying also frowned. There were raw blood clams, raw sea cucumbers, raw prawns and crabs.

"Are these really edible?"

Li Duoyu nodded and said, "It tastes good, but everyone's physical fitness is different. I can't guarantee that you won't have diarrhea."

At first, everyone thought that Li Duoyu’s jellyfish was not delicious, until they ate it and discovered a new world.

I often eat raw blood clams during Chinese New Year, so I don’t feel too much pressure.
They rarely eat raw sea cucumbers, orchid crabs, and shrimps.

But when everyone was hesitating, the little fat boy was the first to eat the marinated shrimp. His eyes lit up instantly and he couldn't help but say, "It's really sweet, the meat is soft and crunchy, it's really delicious."

"Let me try, too."

“It tastes really good. The shrimp has a pretty good texture.”

“This sea cucumber is simply top-notch.”

After all, we all live by the sea. As long as we overcome the psychological barriers, these raw and pickled poisons will immediately become delicacies.

After eating a raw marinated shrimp, Li Haoran fell in love with the taste: "I want to learn from my uncle and become a chef in the future."

Zhu Xiuhua patted his head and said, "Your uncle is the boss, not the chef."

Everyone enjoyed the meal that night, and Li Haoran finally plucked up the courage and went home as he wished.

But as soon as he got home, he regretted it.

As soon as I left the air-conditioned room, the places bitten by the jellyfish started to itch at night, and even blowing the fan didn't help.

Li Haoran, who couldn't catch it, could only soak his feet in cold water. He was so uncomfortable that he started crying: "Dad, why don't we buy an air conditioner?"

Li Yaoguo sighed, "Where can I get that kind of money?"

But what Li Yaoguo didn't expect was that Zhu Xiuhua actually said, "I think you can buy an air conditioner, so you don't have to sleep on the floor."

"Anyway, I don't have any money. If you want to buy it, go buy it yourself."

Zhu Xiuhua smiled and said, "Don't think that just because you hid your money with Duoyu, I wouldn't know you have shares in the eel factory."

Li Yaoguo was completely stunned. If he and Duoyu didn't say anything about the shares, no one would know.

Seeing Li Yaoguo's shocked expression, Zhu Xiuhua said angrily, "I was just trying to trick you, but I didn't expect you to actually have it."

Li Yaoguo quickly smiled and said, "No."

Zhu Xiuhua snorted, "Don't pretend. I've asked around. Chen Wenchao and Zhang Mingsheng both have them. How could you not have them when you're in charge of the eel factory and finances?"

Li Yaoguo frowned as he looked at his wife. He felt that her brain had obviously worked much better after being taught a lesson by Zhang Sanming.

Now that she has discovered it, there is really no point in continuing to lie to her: "I do have a little bit of shares."

Zhu Xiuhua asked excitedly: "How much?"

"Not much, just a tiny bit. In addition to my salary, I can probably get a few thousand dollars a year."

Li Yaoguo didn't dare tell Zhu Xiuhua that after selling the eels this time, he would have more money than the average millionaire.

Zhu Xiuhua thought for a while and said, "Then let's pool our money together and build a new house this year. Next year we'll buy an air conditioner. When I get pregnant, it will be easier to have an air conditioner."

Li Yaoguo had a gloomy face. He didn't want a second son at all before, but now he was hoping that she would get pregnant quickly and stop torturing herself.

If she still hasn't gotten pregnant next month, Li Yaoguo and his wife plan to go to Rongcheng to see a young Chinese medicine doctor recommended by Li Duoyu to see what's wrong.

Li Haoran on the side fell silent!

I thought A Niang wanted to buy an air conditioner for herself, but it turns out she has always wanted a younger brother. (End of this chapter)
