In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Some time after the Millennium Ceremony of Mazu's Ascension to the Ascension ended, Dandan Island returned to its former appearance.

It’s time to mend the net.

The fishing that should be fished.

Around the end of November, the cold front arrived as expected, and as soon as the cold front arrived, the whole island was preparing for one big thing, which was preparing to plant kelp seedlings.

There are more than ten fishing boats in the Xiaoleiyang waters checking kelp piles. If they find that the piles are loose, they will pull them out and drive them in again.

Although there are many people who know how to drive piles on Dandan Island, or maybe it's a tacit understanding, most of the kelp piles on Dandan Island are driven by Master Zhang.

His main client is Li Duoyu, who alone owns 4,000 acres of kelp fields. If he does some of his relatives' business, he has more work than he can handle.

"Director Li, this kelp pile is loose. Let's pull it out and drive it in again."

"Just pull him up and beat him. No need to ask me again."

Li Duoyu also came out with the boat this time. Once the kelp piles are driven into the sea, they will sink to the bottom of the sea for a long time.

Sometimes, it is inevitable that it will loosen when encountering big waves, and it often needs to be reinforced every once in a while.

Maintaining kelp fields is not an easy task, because each time the kelp is harvested, the buoy and the main rope are left on the sea surface.

One is that I am worried that my spot will be taken away by someone else, and the other is that it is not an easy task to retract the main rope.

But if they are not collected, there will be a lot of barnacles and seaweeds in the sea, and farmers often have to deal with the attachments on the main rope and buoy every once in a while.

In the past life, there was such a thing as a high-pressure water gun. As long as the main rope and the float were pulled out of the water, most attachments could be cleaned away with a direct spray of the high-pressure water gun.

But now it is often a headache to deal with it, as the main rope is covered with barnacles, mussels, and a large amount of seaweed.

This work has always been in charge of his father, Lao Li. His father originally only had seven or eight people to take charge of the management of the kelp fields and oyster fields.

However, the scale of the kelp field has expanded nearly 20 to 30 times in two years, from seven or eight people at the beginning to more than 30 people now.

Most of these people are villagers from Dandan Island, and their average age is over 40. Although they were all recruited by his father, Li Duoyu also allowed them to enjoy the treatment of Minlong Company.

It can be said that if one wants to join Minlong, Lao Li's side is the easiest, but Lao Li's personality is quite stubborn, and getting along with him is not an easy thing.

The group of people pulled up a main rope to clear off the barnacles, mussels and the like, and also knocked down the larger barnacles.

Everyone used to look down on this thing, but since life has improved, everyone thinks this thing is very delicious.

When the large barnacles are boiled directly in water, they have a fresh and fragrant chicken flavor. I don’t know why, but the barnacles on the open sea taste a little better than those on the reefs.

A middle-aged man said, "Duoyu seems to like eating this very much. Let's knock on some more and send some to him."

During this period, Li Duoyu upgraded the equipment of the team that managed the kelp and oyster fields.

The early sampans were good, but they could easily sway from side to side. If people stood on the same side and bent over to pull things into the sea, there was a risk of the boat capsizing.

Therefore, we commissioned a shipyard to produce this type of flat-bottomed fishing boat for offshore operations.

This type of fishing boat has a large sealed cabin. Due to the large contact area with the sea surface, it is not easy to capsize even if they all stand on the same side.

The most important thing is that the cargo capacity is extremely large. Using this new type of flat-bottomed boat, one boat can carry the same cargo as three or four sampans.

At that time, a lot of work can be saved when harvesting kelp, thanks to this specially designed fishing boat.

Cleaning the debris on the main rope of kelp is particularly easy. Just pull the kelp rope up from the sea surface and hang it on a flat-bottomed boat. As the boat moves forward, it can use the power to remove most of the barnacles attached to the main rope.

Since farmers have seen the benefits of flat-bottomed boats, many of them are planning to replace their sampans.

What surprised Li Duoyu was that the 10,000 acres of kelp fields in the Xiaoleiyang sea area were not full this year, and currently there are about 9,200 acres.

Li Duoyu discovered that although many people in the village said they wanted to grow kelp, when it came to actually growing kelp, they all backed off.

Some people think that taking out a loan is too risky, some think that the weather may be bad next year, and some think that there are too many people raising kelp now and the price will plummet in the future.

Some of them have been talking about it for three years but have yet to start growing kelp. They say one thing but do another when it comes to actually doing it.

All I can say is that opportunities will not always be reserved for those who are indecisive. If this opportunity is missed again, the gap between the rich and the poor on Dandan Island will really be widened.

This reminded Li Duoyu of something in his previous life.

Those who make money are often "reckless men", while those who are hesitant and wait until they see others making money before entering the market are mostly leeks who come in to fill the pit.

But think about it, if everyone cultivates kelp, the ecology of the sea area near Dandan Island will definitely be destroyed. If it is not controlled well, it will really become a mess.

All I can say is: respect the fate of others!

Li Duoyu was on a fishing boat, enjoying the large barnacles brought to him by several employees.

This thing looks very ugly. If you don’t know it, you might think it’s a stone, but it is a rare delicacy in the sea.

Although this thing tastes good, there are still many older people who are full of prejudice against it and even disdain to eat it.

Li Duoyu smiled slightly, and a sentence popped up in his mind: If you ignore me now, I will make you unable to reach me in the future.

This ugly looking thing now, will be sold at a very high price in the future if it is as big as this one, even more expensive than turtle feet.

In Japanese cuisine, such large barnacles can be considered a luxury.

After Li Duoyu was steamed, he was also very rough. He smashed the barnacle shell with a stone and ate the sweet and tender meat inside.

After eating a big bowl of red snapper and drinking a bottle of beer, he felt so satisfied. Others might still worry about gout.

But he didn't have this worry, because no matter how much he ate seafood and drank beer in his previous life, he seemed to have never been affected.

For a fisherman living by the sea, not suffering from gout is truly the greatest kindness the world can show him.

Old Lu, who was also cleaning the kelp field, ran to one of the new flat-bottomed boats bought by Li Duoyu without knowing when.

His face was full of envy. When he saw Li Duoyu, he shouted, "Duoyu, how much does a new boat like yours cost? I want to get two of them. They are really useful."

"About seven thousand."

"It's so expensive. You have a good relationship with the shipyard. Can you tell them how about 5,000? Then we can buy a few more."

"I need 7,000 to buy so many boats. Who will sell them to you for 5,000?" "This year I invested all my money in the kelp fields. Why don't you sell me two boats? I'll pay you back next year if I sell kelp."

Li Duoyu rolled his eyes at him.
"You wish. If you really want it, I can sell you two for a low price. I'll charge you 8,000 for each."

Lao Lu was dumbfounded: "How come you are even more shady than Lao Mi? You made three thousand from me by selling it, but you might as well just rob me."

Li Duoyu said seriously: "Robbery is against the law."

Old Lu:.
Li Duoyu glanced at a figure not far away who was cleaning a kelp field alone. His second sister-in-law Zhu Xiuhua also invested a lot of money this time and cultivated more than 100 acres of kelp fields.

Her second brother Li Yaoguo once told her that the family was no longer short of money, and asked her to just stay at home and take good care of the children, and there was no need for her to work in the kelp fields.

But this man just couldn't sit still. He spent more than 10,000 yuan to cultivate more than 100 acres of kelp fields and bought a second-hand fishing boat.

A few days ago, there were several people working with her, but to be honest, my second sister-in-law is too stingy.

After setting a price, she asked others to do the same thing as herself, but her work efficiency was so low.

Few people on the whole island could catch up with her, and several workers quit after working with her for two days.

Even if she raised the price to six yuan, no one was willing to do her work. But the second sister-in-law was stubborn. If no one was willing to help, she would do it alone, cursing under her breath.

But she was still breastfeeding, and finally her second brother couldn't stand it anymore, so he organized a group of people and told Zhu Xiuhua that these people only wanted six dollars a day.

But in fact, each person received an additional subsidy of five yuan, because the five yuan was "mental damage compensation" for working with Zhu Xiuhua.

As the weather gets colder, the calendars on the wall have been torn off, and everyone has hung new calendars on the wall.

Li Duoyu was a little dazed after looking at the year on the new calendar. He didn't expect that it would be the year 88 so soon.

In his previous life, he was released from the labor camp this year. Because of his good performance, he was released six months early.

But in fact, his performance can only be described as average, and the reason for his early release is very simple.

There were too many people arrested during this period, and the labor camps were simply overwhelmed, so those whose cases were not serious were all allowed to go ahead early.

Li Duoyu glanced at the new calendar and was about to tear off the January 1st calendar page, but little Tutu started to shout:

"Dad, I will be the one tearing up this calendar from now on."

Li Duoyu touched the boy's head. Unconsciously, the little guy was already five years old. It was a pity that there was no kindergarten on the island, otherwise he would have gone to school in the second half of the year.

Li Duoyu touched his head and it really felt like a lifetime ago. He remembered that in his previous life, when he came back from the labor camp, this kid was not friendly to him at all and was even full of fear.

Whenever he climbed into bed to sleep with them, little Tutu would be scared and wake up crying in the middle of the night.

Whenever he thought of this, Li Duoyu felt inexplicably uncomfortable. Fortunately, in this life, he had the chance to accompany this boy to grow up.

Li Duoyu said to Xiao Tutu, "Dad will buy you some snacks later. Don't tell your mom."

Little Tutu's eyes widened and his little head kept nodding at this good thing that fell from the sky.

"Dad, don't go to my aunt to buy it. Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative. I want to eat that popping candy. Can you buy me a gun?"

"Don't push your luck, kid!"

Around mid-January, the east wind started to blow, and simple wooden sheds were built along the coast of Dandan Island.

Some are used to collect kelp seedlings, and some are for workers who come to the island to live in. During this period of time, the entire island is full of fishing boats, and Dandan Island has begun its annual collection of kelp seedlings.

During this period, good news came from the island, that is, Dandan Island finally got a phone call.

This time, Dandan Island was quite considerate and installed a total of 17 telephones on the island. It seems that the number of telephones on an island is more than that of an entire town.

After the telephone was installed in Li Duoyu's home, Mr. Li immediately asked Chen Huiying to call Li Xiaorong's workplace.

"Is it Xiao Rong?"

"This is your brother's home phone number. Write it down. If you have any problems in the future, just call this number directly."

"Wow, that's amazing, our island also has telephone access?"

But after a few words, the two elders started talking about finding a partner again. Every time she heard them urging her to find a partner.

Li Xiaorong immediately said, "My mentor has another surgery that needs my help. I'll hang up now. We'll talk next time."

"Don't hang up yet. Your father wants to ask you if you have come back to celebrate the New Year this year."

There was silence on the other end of the phone: "I don't know yet. I have to wait for the director to arrange it before I know if I have time."

Old Li, who was standing aside, looked very unhappy after hearing this, and waited for the call to be hung up.

He said directly to Li Duoyu: "When you have time, find a good job for your sister and let her come back to Rongcheng."

"I don't know if I have time to celebrate the New Year. No one will say anything about her because she hasn't got a family yet. But if she gets married in the future, she will be able to live like this."

Li Duoyu smiled and felt that his father worried too much. Being a doctor was like this. The first ten years were particularly difficult, but as long as you can get through it, you will feel comfortable in the future.

Around this time, a major event occurred in Rongcheng. There were rumors that Mr. Chen from Xinyuan Group had "run away."

As an important partner of Xinyuan Group, Li Duoyu naturally also received the news.

Chen Yuansu's female secretary brought him a letter that Chen Yuansu left for him.

The envelope looks very nice, but the contents inside are very simple, with only a short sentence.

【Thank you for your care over the past few years. Please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye. 】

Looking at this short sentence, Li Duoyu couldn't help but sigh. When he first met her, she was still a dreamy young girl.

But I didn't expect it to end so soon.

I guess the Xinyuan Group is in a mess now. I really don't know how it will end.

At this time, at the Qingkou Wharf, an old man wearing a suit and a black round hat asked in the local dialect: "Fellow countryman, may I ask how to get to Dandan Island?" (End of this chapter)
