In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Chapter 88

Seeing the kelp scattered around the kelp field, Li Duoyu naturally couldn't just waste it like this.

Although these kelp did not meet the best harvesting standards, the two-meter-long kelp was already considered good.

He, Lao Li, and Chen Wenchao spent a day picking up the scattered kelp piece by piece.

It took more than a dozen boats to finish fishing.

Seeing these kelp harvested "in advance", Lao Li was so distressed that his face turned black.

But Li Duoyu looked at the somewhat sparse kelp fields, and felt that this was not too bad. The thinning of the kelp meant that the remaining kelp had more room to grow.

At that time, the remaining kelp might be as long as possible.

Kelp is a type of brown algae.

When cultured in the sea, the color is brown, and most of the common green kelp in the market in later generations has been scalded at high temperature.

There are two main processing methods for kelp.

One is the salted kelp used for fresh eating, which is the green kelp that everyone often sees.

The practice of this kind of kelp is generally to go through high temperature treatment directly after being picked up.

When kelp touches boiling water, it will turn green, but because it is scalded by high temperature, it will easily go bad and deteriorate.

So the manufacturer will sprinkle salt to keep it fresh, then put it in the cold storage, and finally sell it to traders and restaurants.

And this kind of processing method is called salting, but the most important part of this method is that there must be a cold storage to keep it fresh throughout the process, which is obviously not suitable for the moment.

The other is the traditional sun-dried kelp. I want it to be simpler. After it is picked up from the sea, it is directly pulled to dry.

Dry for ten hours.

You can put it away directly.

There is also a chain of discrimination in raising kelp. If you do traditional sun-dried, you will never get used to salted kelp.

It can be said that it is a pair of old enemies, especially on a certain music, the merchants who sell sun-dried kelp will often spray salted kelp.

But in any industry, there will be some scum. In order to make kelp greener and fatter, some unscrupulous businesses will use a chemical substance called ammonium bicarbonate to soak kelp.

Li Duoyu vaguely remembered that this kind of practice was learned by local dealers from overseas provinces after the frequent cross-strait exchanges at the beginning of the new century. It seems that in addition to this, they even learned phone scams.

In fact, both are essentially kelp, but the processing methods are different. Although drying is the mainstream, Li Duoyu is also very optimistic about salted kelp.

Because it has a good development prospect, it can be made into various ready-to-eat small-mouth snacks.

In the previous life, there was a large snack food manufacturer that bought out the farmed kelp on Dandan Island, and specialized in the production of shredded kelp of various flavors, and the sales were pretty good.

And more than a dozen boats of kelp scooped up from the kelp fields were laid flat in the square, wharf, and courtyards of relatives' homes in the village.

Because of the brave rescue of the villagers before, Li Duoyu has a very good reputation in the village, and everyone is very polite to him, and the pink eye disease has also decreased a lot.

Even the "Four Heavenly Kings" of the square, Chen, Zhao, Wu, and Sun, who played four-color cards there all the year round.

After seeing Li Duoyu drying the kelp there, he didn't complain, but took the initiative to show his kindness, saying that if it was going to rain, he would be notified as soon as possible, and help him collect the kelp by the way.

And Chen Atai from the next door village.

In the past two days, I was very happy to hear that all the kelp raised by the captain Wang Dapao had been destroyed.

If even the team leader can't do it well, it proves that Chen Dongqing is wrong and cheated him.

Thinking of being in debt for two years and not daring to go out in hiding, Chen Atai had to vent his anger on Chen Dongqing no matter what.

Unexpectedly, when he was planning to spread the news that the captain failed to raise kelp, he heard the news that Li Duoyu had dried the whole square of kelp.

He didn't believe in evil, so he came to Xiasha Village on the same day, and he was dumbfounded on the spot when he saw the kelp covered in the square.

He couldn't count how many bars there were in the square in front of him, he just felt that there were too many.

After seeing Li Duoyu who was drying kelp in the square, Chen Atai hurried forward to say hello:

"Many fish."

"This seaweed is all yours. Why did you collect it so quickly? Didn't Dongqing say at the beginning that it would not be collected until the end of April at least?"

"Uncle Tai."

"What brought you here?"

Li Duoyu, who had been drying the kelp for a day, hammered his waist and said: "There is no way, these kelp were beaten by waves two days ago, and fell off the rope, so we can only put it away and dry it first."

"A few days ago, the waves were really big. There were several people in our village who went fishing, and they almost couldn't come back."

Chen Atai squatted down, touched the kelp, and found that the kelp was quite thick, better than the kelp he had raised for five or six months before, he couldn't believe it.

"Did you have any plans, otherwise, you have only been raised for a few months, how come you are so big."

Li Duoyu was speechless.

"The sea water is flowing, no matter how much you feed it, it's useless. Didn't Dongqing tell you when raising it before, that kelp grows very fast?"

After Li Duoyu hammered his waist, he took a sip of someone and sighed: "If it weren't for the damn waves, my kelp would grow twice as long in a month or so."

"No way, it's been so long."

"It can be longer."

Chen Atai thinks it is unlikely. In the past two years, he raised it for four or five months, and it was only more than one meter long. He thinks that Li Duoyu's kelp should not be able to grow any longer.

Li Duoyu glanced at him, and naturally knew that Uncle Tai had heard the news and came here specially.

"It's no good for me to lie to you. The current temperature is the most suitable for the growth of kelp, just like the bamboo shoots after the rain. It changes every day."

"Then the thirty acres of kelp you raised are all here?" Chen Atai asked.

Seeing Uncle Tai asking non-stop, Li Duoyu said directly: "Uncle Tai, to tell you the truth, the kelp you see is less than one-tenth of the kelp I cultivated, and it will be harvested in another month, and there is not enough here for me to dry."

After speaking.

Li Duoyu also smiled and said: "Also, thank you, Uncle Tai, for selling me those kelp ropes. I will dry them later and send you some over there."

Chen Atai was a little dumbfounded for a moment.

Why is this guy so damaged?

You also sprinkled salt on people's wounds, you and your father jointly cheated on my kelp rope, and you haven't settled the score with you yet.

But Chen Atai still didn't believe it, so he handed Li Duoyu a cigarette: "Duoyu, tell Uncle Tai the truth, did you use any technological means, otherwise how could the kelp grow so fast."

After Li Duoyu took the cigarette, he said lightly, "Since Uncle Tai asked this question, I'll tell you the truth. It does require a little skill."

"Kelp, if you choose it on the bottom of the sand, you have to adjust the water layer according to the light, take care of the kelp field at least twice a week, and clean the kelp rope"

After Chen Atai listened.

His glasses were wide open, and he thought there was some technological means, but Chen Dongqing also told him what Li Duoyu said.

And I emphasized it to him many times, but due to various reasons, he didn't take it to heart.

Thinking of this, Chen Atai smoked half a cigarette in one gulp. He scolded Chen Dongqing for two years, only to find out that the clown was himself.

But what a coincidence.

A young man wearing glasses happened to come to the square at the moment, and shouted loudly: "Duoyu, you have to work harder and try to dry the kelp today, so that the quality is the best."

After seeing Chen Dongqing nagging again, Li Duoyu was also a little impatient: "Your uncle, you just talk but don't practice, you are here to help me."

Recently, this guy has become more courageous.

Apply directly to his aunt not to go home.

Make a floor shop directly in Li Xiaorong's house.

Guarding his [-] mu of kelp field every day is much more caring than the owner of the kelp field.

And since he narrowly escaped death that day, my uncle has also changed a lot, he is no longer so polite.

The biggest change is that after staying with Chen Wenchao for a long time, the "quintessence" in his mouth has obviously increased, and he can greet other people's homes when talking.

And when Chen Dongqing found out that Chen Atai was also there, the two of them instantly became embarrassed, but as a junior, Chen Dongqing still said bravely.

"Cousin, you're here too."

Chen Atai also looked at Chen Dongqing in embarrassment, but his face was on fire, he hesitated and said:
"Well, I'm here to watch more fish drying kelp."

　Thank you for your follow-up, recommended tickets, and monthly tickets!
　　Thank you so much!
