Chapter 122 A telegram has arrived (please subscribe)
Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao caught up with the passenger ship back to Dandan Island.
Because I arrived late.
There are no seats on the boat, so we can only stand. Moreover, this trip, everyone brought back a lot of various things to the island.
There are all kinds of chickens, ducks, and even piglets.
Depending on the situation, everyone should be going to the fair (xu).
Going to the fair is the market in the south.
People call the market trading day according to the lunar calendar "Wei day". When people go to the market to buy and sell, it is called "Wei day".
Here in Shangfeng Town, the third or ninth day of the lunar calendar is the fair day. Everyone can bring what they want to sell to the fair.
You can also buy all kinds of necessary things in the fair, and make a tooth sacrifice at the same time, because at this time, some strange food often appears.
For example, frozen bamboo shoots, fried bamboo elephants, crab sauce and salt chicken fetus from the next city, but what Li Duoyu misses the most is the iced rice on a hot summer day.
Every summer, when the weather gets hot, vendors selling iced rice will appear. They push a modified cart, ringing small bells, and walk through the streets shouting:
“Bing rice, ice rice, cold ice rice.”
There is also a thick iron cylinder on top of the cart, which is filled with homemade yellow sweet ice water.
At that time, everyone who knew the sweet ice water recipe regarded the recipe as a treasure and would never tell outsiders.
If you just want to drink sweet ice water, a small cup is one cent, but you have to bring your own cup. If you want to fill the enamel cup, it will cost two cents.
In addition to sweet ice water, there are also ingredients such as glutinous rice, watermelon, pineapple, raisins, and grass jelly on the cart.
The iced rice is to put a layer of cooked glutinous rice on the bottom, put seasonal fruits, raisins, grass jelly, etc., and finally add homemade ice water.
Skilled vendors will also go to the ice factory in Rongcheng, get two pieces of ice, cut it with a knife, and then spread it on the fruit.
In the hot summer, it’s time to have a bowl of iced rice.
That’s really cool.
In the past, when Li Duoyu was in junior high school in the town, this was his favorite food every summer. Sometimes when he ran out of money, he would borrow it from Zhou Xiaoying.
Speaking of which, the borrowed money has not been paid back yet. If I remember correctly, Zhou Xiaoying has been studying in the town for three years and has never had ice rice.
You can take her to eat another day.
…
In addition to these, there are many large items on the ship. For example, in the village, Lu Laosi, who was about to get married, finally got a wife at the age of thirty.
I went to town and bought a complete set of furniture, a brand new dresser and cabinets.
Li Duoyu remembered that there used to be a carpenter on the island, but it seemed that due to poor quality, he was completely destroyed at that time.
From then on, if everyone wanted furniture, they had to go to the town to buy it.
Until now, the tables and chairs of many fishermen households on the island are very old, and most of them were more than ten years ago.
The sins committed by one's own village shall be borne by oneself.
As a result, if Li Duoyu wanted to change to a big bed now, he would have no choice but to go to town.
Due to Li Duoyu's recent active performance and his ability to save people, everyone is very polite to him.
Lao Xia, who specialized in raising pigs in the village, held a piglet in both hands and said to Li Duoyu:
“Duoyu, are you going to catch the polder today? Why didn’t I see you?”
Li Duoyu smiled and replied: "No, I went to the county."
“Have you gone to the research institute again? Do you have any good projects? I still have a seat here. Do you want to come and sit with me?”
As soon as Lao Xia finished speaking, someone next to him said: "Duoyu, don't sit next to him. His pig is seasick and has vomiting and diarrhea. It's disgusting."
“Forget it, I’d better stop sitting. If I stand, I might be able to grow taller.”
“I’ve thought about you too much. Once the hair on a man’s lower body grows, he won’t be able to grow taller.”
Half the people on the boat burst into laughter.
Lao Xia continued: "By the way, when I was in Wei, I saw old man Mi holding up a newspaper with a photo of you and the leader, shouting to sell your kelp. There were many people queuing up to sell kelp."
"Old man Mi, I guess I'll be buying from you again in two days. Why don't you give it to me evenly? I'd like to go to the polder to sell some."
“I don’t want to raise pigs anymore and I really want to sell them.”
“I am tired of raising pigs every day, so I occasionally do other things.”
“If you really want to sell, come to me some other time.”
“Really, then you have to sell me cheaper.”
Just when Li Duoyu was chatting with everyone, a figure with his head lowered stood up from his seat and turned around to go to the stern of the boat.
And he just turned to leave.
A villager nearby shouted: "A Tai, if you don't want to sit down, I'll ask Duoyu to sit down. Don't you know Duoyu very well? Why don't you want to say hello?"
Li Duoyu followed his gaze and discovered an unexpected old acquaintance, the uncle Tai who had sold him the brown rope.
“Uncle Tai, long time no see.”
Chen Atai glanced at him: "Well, I'm going to smoke a cigarette."
The person he least wants to see right now is Li Duoyu.
In the past, the sea belt lost lost, and was chased to ask for debt. He kept complaining every day, saying that Chen Dongqing hurt him. Unexpectedly, Duoyu raised kelp and made a lot of money. Now many villagers have begun to complain that he doesn’t know how to raise kelp. He talks nonsense everywhere, which makes everyone afraid to raise kelp.
Lately, he has been like a rat crossing the street, afraid that someone will blame him for not being able to raise kelp.
And today he went to the fair to buy brown rope again. As a result, he sold the brown rope with many fishes for 300 yuan at first, but now it costs 1,500 yuan, and there are still many people buying it. He has to queue up and it will be sold next month. to get the goods.
After seeing Li Duoyu, Chen Atai was no longer in the mood to smoke, but he still asked: "Is your kelp easy to sell? I heard from the captain that you only sold it for a quarter."
“I deliberately suppressed the goods and didn’t sell them.”
Chen Atai frowned slightly: "Then how much money can I make this year?"
“It’s quite a lot, it should be four times the investment.”
After hearing this number.
Chen Atai understood instantly. He had raised kelp before, so he naturally knew how much an investment of four times thirty acres of kelp would cost.
I really regret it.
If he had listened to Dongqing and raised kelp well, he might still be a household worth ten thousand yuan now.
With the sound of "woo woo" sounded.
The passenger ship docked at the pier of Dandan Island. Lu Laosi, who bought new furniture, tied it up with hemp rope, picked up the furniture, and carried it home.
The people in the boat quickly dispersed.
Li Duoyu said to Chen Wenchao: "In the past two days, after you have finished your work at home, go to Dazhu Village and buy a batch of bamboo from Brother Ou to repair our fishing rafts."
“I got it, Brother Yu.”
“I’m not afraid of motion sickness anymore.”
Chen Wenchao smiled and said: "Now Brother Ou always drives me on a motorcycle."
“Damn it, I almost want to do it.”
When Li Duoyu returned to Dandan Island, it was already dark. He hung the oysters on the stern of the boat and temporarily kept them in the sea water.
“Brother Yu, I’ll go back first.”
"Um."
Li Duoyu hasn’t arrived home yet.
Two hundred and five jumped up to the hill to meet him, rubbed against his feet, licked him and made purring sounds to please him.
It seems that this dog has a deep understanding of who his master is.
However, after raising it for half a year, its size has tripled compared to before, and now it almost weighs more than 20 kilograms.
Not long after Two Hundred and Five ran over, Li Haoran also ran over: "Uncle, you are back."
Li Duoyu suddenly thought of something and asked: "Haoran, you didn't let two hundred and five people run around."
“No, it’s only here in our courtyard and we don’t let it go out.”
“You didn’t lie to me.”
“I wouldn’t dare lie to anyone, uncle, you.”
Li Duoyu was relieved, otherwise dogs in this era would especially like to go to the manhole to eat.
If you lick yourself after eating, it will make you feel sick just thinking about it.
After he returned home, Zhou Xiaoying, who heard Li Duoyu's voice, was already in the kitchen heating food for him: "Have you had dinner?"
"Have not eat yet."
“Then let me heat it up for you.”
“Where’s Tutu?”
“I just finished drinking milk and fell asleep again. By the way, you have a telegram.”
After speaking, Zhou Xiaoying handed the telegram to Li Duoyu's hand.
Li Duoyu received the telegram and found that as soon as he went out recently, letters came to him immediately.
This telegram was sent from Rongcheng, but the sender and address on it surprised Li Duoyu.
It was actually An Yuliang from Rongcheng Commodity Distribution Company whom I met when I was getting a loan from a credit union half a year ago.
How did he know?
Li Duoyu couldn’t help but laugh out loud after looking at the delivery address. It read (Li Duoyu, who grows kelp on Dandan Island).
If you write it like this, even if there are people with the same name in the village, the postman will probably not send the wrong person.
But at that time, Li Duoyu didn't seem to tell him his name.
Judging from the situation, I probably found out his name after reading the newspaper, and then wrote this telegram.
After Li Duoyu opened it, he found that although the telegram was very concise, it had a lot of words.
Comrade Li, hello.
With the disturbance of liberty, our company wants to purchase a batch of kelp. The purchase price is: first -class five hair, two -level four hair, and three hair.
If you think the price is right, write back to me. The next day after receiving the letter, I will go to the island to sell the goods.
