In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

In the eyes of outsiders, Li Duoyu seems to be very capable, but most of the time, he doesn't understand what he is supposed to do.

In this era of wild growth, as long as we have established good relations with the organization, we can just do whatever is needed and there will be no resistance at all.

In the end, Li Duoyu found that he had almost completed the entire industrial chain.

The more concentrated the industrial chain is, the higher the efficiency will be and the better the industrial development will be. It is something too formal and Li Duoyu cannot explain it clearly.

But he understood one thing, that is, in his previous life he had the honor of visiting the production base of Putian shoes.

There, the industrial chain is shockingly complete. The production process of a new pair of shoes, from design, procurement to final sales, every step is closely linked.

Although Li Duoyu's industrial chain is not yet perfect and still looks rough, it has begun to develop.

Currently, Minlong possesses core technologies such as seedlings, feed formulas, and breeding standards.

As breeding becomes more stable, Li Duoyu is now more focused on adding value to the products, in other words, the second processing.

By then, when the entire industrial chain is fully connected, it will not only be Dandan Island and Shangfeng Town that will make money.

If it develops well in the future, it may become a large industry that tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people rely on for their livelihood.

These days, Li Duoyu inspected the eel breeding base in Nanri Town, and Lin Youming and Liu Yun cooperated very well.

It may be because of the breeding base in Nanri Town, which has very good spring water. The eels farmed here are even better than those on Dandan Island.

Li Duoyu picked up one at random and could clearly feel that the eel was very beautiful and full of vitality.

To outsiders, although all eels look the same and it is difficult to tell the difference, for a chef who has been slaughtering and grilling eels for a long time,

There is still a little difference. To determine whether the eel is in good condition, besides looking at the body of the fish, the most important thing to look at is the fins.

If the fins are bright and colorful, it is like a human with a good complexion, and this kind of eel is relatively healthy and easy to raise.

"Yes, it is very well maintained."

Li Duoyu gave Lin Youming a very high evaluation, saying that this person is not incompetent, but he just took the wrong path at the beginning.

“Thank you Mr. Li for your affirmation.”

Lin Youming is really grateful to Li Duoyu. During this period, watching these eels growing day by day, his heart is filled with joy.

At the same time, it also reminded him of some past events. Two years ago, he also came to Nanri Town with full of hope, but since he followed Zhang Sanming, everything ended up in a mess.

Fortunately, he extricated himself quickly and was not affected. Now following Li Duoyu, he found that eel farming is not as difficult as he had imagined.

If the breeding is carried out according to the standard process given to him by Li Duoyu, there will basically be no problems.

But even after the onset of the disease, he still found it difficult to handle it on his own and had to ask Mr. Li to come over for help every time.

Sometimes, Lin Youming would reflect on whether he was really that bad. How could Mr. Li, who was so young and so busy every day, have such comprehensive knowledge?

And every time I see him, it seems like he has become even more powerful, while I am still at the stage of eel farming.

Mr. Li is already raising shrimps, making feed, and even producing canned seafood.

"Ugh!"

But he was too lazy to think too much about the things he couldn't figure out. He just believed in one thing: to keep the eels well.

In addition to inspecting the eel breeding base, Li Duoyu also inspected the shrimp breeding base, but found that the problem remained the same.

Li Duoyu still adopted the mixed farming model of shrimps and crabs this time. Many shrimp farmers followed his example and started the mixed farming model with him.

The Zhao brothers, who are good at catching blue crab seedlings, really seized the opportunity and temporarily set up a team to specifically provide blue crab seedlings to these shrimp farmers.

It seems that ever since the two brothers became millionaires, their speed of making money has been unstoppable.

Li Duoyu was not sure how much money the two brothers had earned in total so far, but what was certain was that it was definitely not a small amount.

Otherwise, they would not have the courage to take out a loan to order a large iron-hulled fishing boat like the one their Li family had.

Speaking of which, Dandan Island has changed a lot this year. Now at the old pier, if the fishing boats return to the port late, there is no place to park. They can only drive to the new pier and then walk back.

In addition to the nearly doubled number of small boats, there are currently three large ships under "construction" on Dandan Island.

One belongs to the Zhao brothers, one belongs to Old Lu, and the other, the largest one, belongs to the Li family.

After the Pudu ended this year, my uncle and my third uncle were ready to "split up" and they no longer worked on the same boat.

After all, both of them are ship captains. It’s okay when they get along at the beginning, but after being together for a long time, even if they are husband and wife, they will dislike each other.

What's more, they are brothers. Li Duoyu also heard that his uncle and his third uncle had several quarrels on the boat.

They almost got into a fight, but fortunately they were stopped by my eldest uncle and second uncle.

Over at the Changwei Shipyard, they have been working day and night in recent times to produce the Li family's second large ship.

Compared with the previous one, this new ship is bigger and more powerful, but this ship is not a trawler. It is a boat specially used for squid fishing, but it is not a particularly advanced one.

This boat was produced mainly to match a new product of the Minlong Processing Plant, which is grilled squid shreds.

Not all squids are suitable for making grilled squid shreds. Pacific deep-sea squid is more suitable for making grilled squid shreds.

But these squids are all in the offshore fishing grounds, and the fishing boats have to sail to very far away, so ordinary fishing boats definitely won’t work.

The steel fishing boat that the Li family customized last time only cost about 150,000 yuan, but this squid fishing boat cost more, directly into the 500,000 yuan range, and the hull was also twice as large.

When Li Duoyu first said that he wanted to build this big ship, the entire Li family was very excited, especially the older generation.

They have an unspeakable obsession with big boats, especially old fishermen like my uncle and third uncle. When Li Duoyu first mentioned that he wanted to build another big boat,

The two agreed on the spot.

But building a ship is much slower than building a house. Even at the earliest, we may have to wait until after the New Year to hand over the squid fishing boat to them.

So at this stage, uncle and third uncle are still fishing together. Even though they are unhappy, they still do their job.

During this period, they simply modified the original trawler and sailed to the deep sea outside the Zhoushan fishing ground to carry out boat fishing operations for giant squid.

What they are going to catch this time is the Pacific squid, a large squid that is generally around 40 cm in length.

This is also the largest squid that can be caught in my country's coastal waters. The Pacific deep-sea squid, that is, the huge red squid, is mostly concentrated in the waters off Argentina and Peru.

In their previous life, there were many squid fishing boats here, and they would go there to catch squids and stay there for two years.

When the crew went there, they were fine, but when they came back, they were all crazy and would go into heat at the sight of any sow.

For some coastal residents who have been tricked into working on shady squid fishing boats, being on this kind of boat is much more terrifying than being tricked into going to "Bianbei".

Dozens of grown men lived on a 45-meter-long ship for two years, and they usually slept on wooden boards that were less than one meter wide.

There was no woman to be seen, and all they did was work. A normal person would be driven crazy. Li Duoyu remembered that it seemed that since the 1990s, domestic squid fishing boats had been heading to the offshore waters of Argentina and Peru to fish for squid.

It was fine at the beginning, but I don’t know since when, there have been all kinds of unscrupulous fishery companies that specifically target fishermen.

After cheating the fishermen, they started to cheat the people from the mainland. To be honest, if it weren’t for the famous Pacific robbery and murder that happened later, the dark side of the squid fishing boats would have been exposed to the public.

I guess the public won’t even notice this terrifying gray area.

If the grilled squid shreds sell well, Li Duoyu will definitely hire a few more squid fishing boats, but he is different from those unscrupulous bosses.

Li Duoyu will definitely give them the full benefit when it comes to welfare. First of all, crew entertainment is absolutely indispensable.

Things like VCRs and televisions are a must, as well as various movies, so that young people have a place to vent their emotions and don't become unbridled and think about fighting all day long.

The fishing grounds off Zhoushan are quite far away, and it takes about four days to get there by boat.

After Li Duoyu arranged the company's affairs, he sneaked onto the boat, just to relax himself by going out to sea.

But on the second day, I started to feel a little annoyed. Unfortunately, there was really no entertainment on the boat carrying my uncle and my third uncle.

There is not even a set of mahjong to be found. The most common entertainment activity is for everyone to get together and play cards. Maybe for the sake of excitement, people will still gamble some money, but the bets are relatively small.

It's about one point. Even if you are very unlucky, you will lose at most a dozen yuan a day, and it is difficult to go up again.

But if you gamble too much and are discovered, you will be asked to leave the ship directly and will never be hired again.

After getting on the boat, Li Duoyu also started to become involved with the crew and hung out with his second uncle, who was a chain smoker.

If he didn't smoke, he would have to breathe his second-hand smoke. Li Duoyu simply made an exception and if they were to die, they would die together.

These days, Li Duoyu and his second uncle have been playing 80 points, which is also called a tractor in their place.

When playing cards, you need to upgrade. This kind of cards is not suitable for gambling, but it is more entertaining.

However, Li Duoyu did find something fun to do these two days, which was watching Li Sande being abused.

After nearly two years on the boat, Chen Liang, the rookie at the time, is now a veteran on the fishing boat.

Now he has a new task, which is to educate a new rookie crew member.

After the last failed smuggling attempt, Li Sande was still thinking about smuggling again, but he owed a huge debt again, and he was unwilling to make money to pay off his debts.

The second uncle was so angry that he had no choice but to tie him up on the boat and make him a crew member to pay off his debts.

The wages of seafarers are quite high now. Two years ago, it was only about five yuan a day, but now it has risen to eight yuan.

But Li Sande, who rarely endured hardship, started crying and making a fuss as soon as he got on the boat, and even threatened to settle accounts with Chen Liang.

Chen Liang, who was somewhat of a ruffian by nature, kicked the guy when he heard him threatening him.

Then he threw a brush over and cursed, "Damn it, I wanted to help you, but now I don't want to help you. You have to clean the deck by yourself. If you can't finish it, I won't leave you dinner, and you will have to sleep on the deck tonight."

When the second uncle saw his own children, he kept shaking his head, thinking that he had not educated them well and had raised a bunch of bastards.

At first, Li Sande was making all kinds of trouble and throwing tantrums, but outside the boat was the deep blue sea and he had nowhere to escape.

But when it comes to fighting, the sailors here may not look strong, but they are all made of muscles and bones, and any one of them can knock him down.

There is no way to escape.

Can't even beat him.

After being hungry for a few days, he became more obedient than a dog. He smiled at everyone he met and did whatever Li Sande asked him to do.

According to the older generation, if a person is not well behaved, it is because he has not suffered enough. If he suffers enough, he will naturally become well behaved.

Around the fourth day of the fishing boat going out to sea, my uncle and my third uncle used a sextant and a nautical chart to determine their location.

They have now arrived at the Zhoushan overseas fishing grounds. Here, the crew members moved the frozen smallmouth bass out of the fish hold.

The Pacific squid they want to catch is a typical "night owl", lurking on the seabed almost all day long, floating in the middle and upper layers at night, and rising to the surface in the morning, evening and moonlit nights.

They like to prey on shrimps and the like the most, but shrimps are so expensive now, they are reluctant to use shrimps as bait.

The hooks for squid fishing are specially made. They are not just one hook, but many hooks, and these hooks are barbless.

The main reason is that squids are very stupid and can only run in one direction. They don’t know how to reverse, so once they are hooked, they can hardly escape.

The most important thing is that using this kind of fish hook can ensure that what you catch is most likely the target fish.

In addition to these, Li Duoyu also tied a small fluorescent stick to the fishhook with a rubber band.

This thing was originally just for children to play with, but later fishermen discovered that it was simply a fishing artifact.

Li Duoyu customized a batch of them specifically for catching this kind of squid. On the fishing boat, everyone was very interested in these small glowing sticks, and some even wanted to take a few home for their children to play with.

Li Duoyu said: "You can play with it, but don't let your children put it in their mouths and bite it, or they will be poisoned."

It was almost evening and everyone had started to cast the hooks. Trolling for squid is a relatively simple method.

The fishing boat lowered three rows of hooks totaling nearly five kilometers in length. After about three hours, they started to reel in the lines.

It takes about an hour to reel in the line, plus dealing with the squid and re-baiting, so I can do about two rounds in one night.

Since the ship was originally a trawler, the modification was relatively simple, using only a few net-lifting machines, and many tasks required manual handling.

Maybe at this time, few people use this kind of fluorescent stick to catch squid, the effect is so good when they start to reel in the line.

There were several big squids hanging on each hook, and each squid was very big. Seeing this, the crew members were very excited.

If the ship makes good profits, they will earn more. Seeing that the hooks were full of fish, rookie crew member Li Sande also became excited.

After he didn't follow instructions and pulled up a giant squid on the spot, his face was full of surprise and excitement, but the next second, a stream of black boiling water sprayed directly at his face.

"Fuck."

He was so frightened that he put the squid in his hand back into the sea and said in horror: "It's over, it's over, I can't open my eyes, I'm going blind."

Chen Liang, who was in charge of taking care of him, cursed on the spot:
"You're a pig. You don't know that squids can spray ink. Don't put your face in front of its mouth. The one that just ran away can be sold for at least 50 cents. It will be deducted from your salary later."

After saying that, he directly fetched a bucket of sea water and splashed it on his face, cursing, "Hurry up and get back to work."

Li Duoyu also helped catch some squid, and caught several good-looking ones.

He went to the kitchen on the ship. In fact, he didn't come out just to relax this time, he also brought some equipment with him.

I plan to make grilled squid strips directly on the boat. (End of this chapter)
