In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

After the northeast wind started to blow.

The temperature dropped by seven or eight degrees, and the wave heights were all over half a meter. A half-meter wave was already very dangerous for a small sampan.

It was also difficult to work at sea. As the village director, Li Duoyu stopped the operation of hanging kelp seedlings on the spot and waited until the waves were smaller before hanging the kelp seedlings again.

Taking advantage of this time, Li Duoyu quickly organized the employees of Minlong to catch the large prawns in the shrimp pond.

Since there is no dock in Qixing Bay that can accommodate large transport ships, Li Duoyu had to fish on the island first.

It just so happens that all the prawns on the island, if added together, would amount to about ten tons, which could all be exported to Norio Oda.

When catching prawns, in order not to harm the shrimps, sticky nets are generally not used. Most shrimp farmers use ground traps.

In order to prepare for this fishing trip, Li Duoyu had previously purchased more than one hundred large-net destination cages.

It can be said that among all fishing nets, the survival rate of aquatic products caught by ground traps is the highest.

The fishing method is also very simple. Just stand a stick next to the pond, fix the ground trap first, and then release the trap.

When releasing the shrimps, just sprinkle some clam meat and feed that the shrimps like to eat into the trap.

Under normal circumstances, once the fishing time is determined, try not to feed the shrimps in the first two days. Hungry shrimps will rush to the ground traps to grab food.

The fishing efficiency is also relatively high. If this method is used, the trap can usually be collected after being put down for more than half an hour.

Because of the northeast wind today, most of the villagers on Dandan Island have nothing to do.

Everyone came to watch Li Duoyu catching prawns, and even people from the neighboring Chenjia Village came.

The area around Li Duoyu's shrimp pond was packed with people, and it felt more lively than watching a play during the Chinese New Year.

When the first trap was pulled up, it was so heavy that the fishermen were afraid that it would crush the trap and the prawns.

I had no choice but to brave the severe cold and go into the water to pull the trap out. After all, shrimps are expensive this year, and live shrimps are even more expensive.

After they die, they can only be sold frozen, and the price per pound is at least three or four yuan less.

The first cage weighed more than 80 kilograms.

After pulling it up, the fishermen immediately opened the net of the trap and poured the lively shrimps into a wooden barrel filled with sea water.

When the villagers saw the lively shrimps, they were all dumbfounded before the net bag was put on.

Several large shrimps jumped out of the wooden barrel, and one of them jumped right in front of a little girl of three or four years old.

She was so scared that she screamed and quickly hugged her grandma's thighs: "Grandma, this shrimp is so big and scary, it wants to bite me."

But when everyone saw such a big shrimp, their eyes lit up. This shrimp alone could be sold for at least two or three yuan.

This shrimp is really big.

Even though they often go out to sea to fish with nets, it is difficult for them to come across such large prawns, which are estimated to be nearly 20 centimeters long and weigh nearly 200 grams.

Everyone knows that prawns are super expensive this year, seeing so many shrimps being caught from the traps.

Everyone couldn't help but get excited. If they could catch all the fish and sell them in the market, they would have no problem drinking and eating meat every day during the New Year.

Seeing that more and more people gathered around and the shrimp pond was full of people, Li Duoyu had to send young people from the village to maintain the scene. Although there would be no looting, there were too many people and fishing was not easy to carry out.

Li Duoyu signaled to Chen Wenchao, Shitou and others, and they immediately understood what he meant. They organized a group of people and began to persuade the onlookers.

"Everyone, please retreat first."

It was only after he became the village director that he realized that having strong personal abilities is a good thing, but one must really want to get things done.

He cannot do it alone, he must have a team supporting him. Nowadays, almost all the younger generation are on his side.

As long as he gives the order, even without any bribes, someone will naturally help him get things done.

There were also people who rebelled against Tiangang, and the son persuaded his father to go back. In a short while, the crowd had almost dispersed.

This is also the reason why Li Duoyu’s shrimp pond has never been stolen, because there are always some younger brothers who voluntarily help him guard the shrimp pond.

Even if a dog appears in a shrimp pond, they can find out who the dog's owner is.

And Oda Norihiro, who was following Li Duoyu, seemed to have his eyes shining when he saw those big shrimps.

This kind of prawn is also rare in their place. It can be made into a dish on its own and is usually grilled over charcoal.

Of course, he also had selfish motives. After visiting the laboratory of Li Duoyu's shrimp farm, he felt a strong sense of uneasiness.

It just so happened that he came on a live fish boat this time, so he could sell these high-quality prawns to local shrimp farmers for them to breed and raise seedlings.

Maybe, he could take a shortcut, but the next second, he was depressed because the staff responsible for catching the prawns put those big prawns into another bucket.

Tell Oda Norio directly that something is wrong: "Mr. Li, why are the prawns packed separately?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Oh, I almost forgot to tell you that prawns of this size are no longer ordinary prawns. They are broodstock. We use them specifically for variety optimization and breeding. We don't sell prawns of this size."

Norio Oda was stunned for a long time. He didn't expect that his little idea was blocked by Li Sang just as it was budding.

That was so uncomfortable!
After the entire visit, Norio Oda felt that this young man Li Duoyu was really amazing.

Each shrimp pond has a number and notes. After asking, I learned that:

The numbers of the prawns in each shrimp pond are meaningful. For example, the sign on the No. 001 pond reads [Extra Large ].

The shrimp species is relatively large, so the shrimps caught are all very large.

Pond No. 002 is [Extra Large ].

Pond No. 001 is the one with better antibodies. Li Duoyu named it very simply, [High Anti-].

Although the highly resistant prawns are not as big as the extra-large varieties, their survival rate is very high, and the yield per acre can even reach up to 300 kilograms.

After listening to Li Sang's explanation, Norio Oda was still a little dazed. He felt that the young man in front of him had so much breeding experience that he didn't know where he learned it from.

Considering that he had visited them as a student a few years ago, he now wanted to hire Li Sang to give lectures at their Agricultural College.

The fishing was in full swing, and all the big prawns were picked out, not a single one was left for Norio Oda.

At this moment, an iron-hulled ship docked at the Dandan Island Pier, and several middle-aged men dressed as leaders and a photographer with a camera got off.

After receiving the news, the village party secretary Chen Jianghe and several village committee members were waiting for the leaders at the dock early.

"Hello, County Magistrate Tao."

"Xu Chu and Zeng Ju are good."

When Tao Jingyuan arrived at Dandan Island, the first thing he asked was, "The people from the Fisheries Bureau shouldn't have arrived yet."

Chen Jianghe hurriedly said, "They haven't arrived yet. Leader, do you want to go to the village committee and take a rest first?"

"No time to rest. Where is Duoyu? Take me to see him first. Let's sign all the orders and not leave them to them." Not far away on the sea, a tanned young man was smoking on an iron-hulled ship.

It happened to be very windy these two days, and the kelp seedling factory happened to be closed for two days. I was so busy during this period that I almost exploded.

The demand for kelp seedlings this year is so great that the staff they originally allocated is simply overwhelmed to cope with the workload.

I work almost non-stop every day, but thanks to this northeast wind, I can finally have a good rest.

He had a telescope in his hand. When he saw the boat with the fishery administration logo on it approaching the shore and confirmed that it was the county leader, he shouted, "Uncle Chen, we can start the boat."

Master Wang, who was driving the boat, asked curiously, "Leader, why do we have to wait for the ship to dock before going over there?"

Zhao Jialu said helplessly: "It's hard to do things. Sometimes, you are in a position where you are not a good person and you can't help anyone."

Uncle Chen smiled and said, "Then why not just not help at all?"

"Yes, I think so too."

Zhao Jialu went to the island only after County Magistrate Tao left the dock. Nowadays, he is quite respected in these fishing villages where kelp is grown.

"Director Zhao, why are you here too?" Old Lu, who had just finished picking kelp seedlings the day before yesterday, immediately went to greet Zhao Jialu when he saw him.

In fact, Zhao Jialu was not very familiar with this person, but this person often hung around the dock.

I always see him every time I go to the island.

Zhao Jialu greeted him and then asked, "I want to ask you a question. Where is Director Li?"

"In the shrimp pond."

"okay, thank you."

"Director Zhao, if there are any kelp seedlings left this year, could you please leave some for me? I plan to grow a few more acres."

"Okay, we'll talk about it when the time comes." Zhao Jialu smiled. This was simply impossible because Li Duoyu had more than 3,000 acres of land.

This has led to a severe shortage of kelp seedlings. There is still a shortage in Shangqi Village. From time to time, people go to their factory to make trouble, saying that there are too few kelp seedlings for their village.

Zhao Jialu was not in a hurry and waited for Director Wu at the dock. After spending several years together, he knew Li Duoyu very well.

This guy is really nostalgic. Since he has already called the Fisheries Bureau, he will definitely leave a share for them.

Over there at the shrimp pond.

When County Magistrate Tao met Li Duoyu and Oda Norihiro, the two sides greeted each other.

However, Tao Jingyuan was completely different from his predecessor Zhang Xianjin. He did not order Li Duoyu around just because he was the head of a county, nor did he go out of his way to flatter the Japanese man. Instead, he showed concern for Li Duoyu.

"Duoyu, long time no see. I feel like you've lost weight recently. Have you been working too hard lately?"

Li Duoyu replied: "No, I have gained five kilograms recently. I have gained weight and even have a small belly."

"I can't tell at all. You're still thin. It seems like you guys eat too much seafood and don't gain weight. Come walk with us in the future and I promise you'll gain some weight."

"The leaders have said so. When I have time, I will go to the county committee to eat for free."

"Is this right?"

Tao Jingyuan really wanted to have a chat with this Japanese man, but he was in a hurry to leave this time and he had no time to ask for an interpreter.

Fortunately, Li Duoyu's Japanese is very good, so he directly served as their translator.
And not long after.

Another iron-hulled ship docked. Wu Yuping and his men hurriedly got off the ship. His face did not look very good and he was cursing.

"Damn it, this lousy boat is so slow, it's almost shaking me to death."

When he saw the other two boats, he knew that the county party committee members had definitely arrived at Dandan Island.

When Wu Yuping saw Zhao Jialu waiting for him, his expression became even uglier: "Jialu, have you met Duoyu?"

Zhao Jialu sighed and said, "I can't help it. County Magistrate Tao arrived earlier than me, so I felt embarrassed to go over."

Wu Yuping rolled his eyes at him and immediately knew what was going on.

"I shouldn't have signed the contract and put you at the grassroots level. You didn't learn any good things, but only learned these messed-up things."

Zhao Jialu chuckled and said, "People always have to grow up."

Director Wu shook his head and said, "Let's go and find Duoyu together, so that our foreign exchange quota won't be snatched away by that guy named Tao."

After these two groups arrived, Li Duoyu was really overwhelmed. It seemed that these two people were colleagues before, and they especially liked to bicker.

"Duoyu, it was our Fisheries Bureau that first discovered and supported it. Your county committee dragged its feet at the beginning, and now you are shamelessly trying to grab the foreign exchange quota."

"Let's put things in perspective. Why should I take responsibility for what Zhang Xianjin did? Dandan Island is under the jurisdiction of our county. What does your Fisheries Bureau have to do with it?"

After County Magistrate Tao finished speaking, he signaled his men, one of whom immediately took out a wooden box and said:

"Director Li, you are now a major foreign exchange earner in our county. This is the Dahongpao from Wuyi Mountain. County Magistrate Tao got it with great difficulty and said he must reward you well."

When Li Duoyu saw the wooden box, he guessed what kind of tea it was even without the other party introducing it.

Because not long ago, Chen Yuansu asked her female assistant Zhu Sulan to give him a box of the second generation of Dahongpao.

Wu Yuping was speechless when he saw this scene. Although their Fisheries Bureau was not particularly poor, the other party was the county committee after all, and the richest among the eight counties in Rongcheng, so he was very wealthy.

Their Fisheries Bureau couldn't compete at all, but he was too embarrassed to say it because it was against the regulations.

Li Duoyu was not polite either. He accepted it directly and said to both of them:

"How about I make a small suggestion. Our Minlong Company currently has two main export products, one is prawns and the other is eels. How about you, leaders, choose one from each."

As soon as Li Duoyu said this.

Everyone present was stunned. That’s right, there are two flagship products, so there seems to be no need to fight!
After Tao Jingyuan and Wu Yuping looked at each other, they both nodded.

"OK."

Zhao Jialu gave Li Duoyu a thumbs up. He learned a new trick today, but it was probably useless. It would be difficult for him to be so popular in his life.

This reminded him of the days before he got married, when the two women had a huge fight over who would play with him.

At that time, all he said was: one Saturday and one Sunday.

In the end, both sides compromised. County Magistrate Tao chose prawns, while Director Wu chose eels.

After all the leaders arrived, Li Duoyu simply set up a venue for the signing ceremony, intending to sign this large foreign trade order under the witness of the county party committee and the Fisheries Bureau.

But what he didn't expect was that some reporters actually followed the smell and came over just when they were about to start signing.

A female reporter in jeans shouted, "Leader, wait a moment, let us record a video." (End of this chapter)
