Chapter 149: Damn it, is this guy a monster?
Chapter 149 Damn it, is this guy a monster?
The last day of June in the lunar calendar.
The fishermen rushed to drag the fishing boats to the shore before the Hungry Ghost Festival.
It’s time to take advantage of this period to do a major maintenance on your fishing boat.
Sampan boats like theirs don’t go ashore for cleaning every once in a while.
The bottom of the boat will be covered with barnacles and mussels, which will not only make the hull a lot heavier, but also increase the resistance of the boat and consume more fuel.
Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao took shovels and shoveled away all the barnacles and mussels attached to the bottom of the boat.
Following that, apply another layer of ship paint.
After painting, a pair of bright eyes must be painted on the bow of the boat. These eyes are called "dragon eyes" locally.
There are three ways to draw this eye.
Normally, the eyes of a fishing boat are looking downward, which means that it can see through the sea, full of fish and shrimps, and have insight into the currents of the reef.
Those looking upward are usually merchant ships, which means they are looking at the future of wealth and business is prosperous.
And the fish eyes are forward, which means keeping an eye on the enemy and not being afraid of the enemy.
After Li Duoyu cleaned up the fishing boat and painted the dragon's eye, he sat under a tree near the beach to rest.
Because the dog days of summer are coming soon.
It’s really very hot.
The nearby fishermen who were also maintaining their fishing boats couldn't bear the heat and ran to the fish-rich tree one after another.
Fisherman Shitou couldn't help laughing and said:
“Oh, let me see who this is. Isn’t this a lot of fish? I’ve already been elected, why haven’t I gone to work at the village committee yet?”
Li Duoyu and Shitou were not very familiar with each other before, but after teaching them how to catch small pipes, they have become close now.
“Why are you so small and big?”
“You must call me village director from now on.”
Shitou joked: "Hello, village director, my chicken is lost, can you help me find it?"
“Look for a hammer, damn, it must be in your belly.”
“Damn it, you all know this, I just ate chicken yesterday.”
Li Duoyu rolled his eyes: "You stewed chicken last night, and the smell came to my house. How could you not know?"
While the two were talking, many fishermen went under the tree to hide from the sun. After hearing the two talking, they couldn't help laughing and cursing:
"What a fool. He didn't even tell us when he was eating chicken. Last time he even said he would treat us to a big dinner."
“I’ll invite you again on the Hungry Ghost Festival.”
“It’s the Hungry Ghost Festival, where else can I ask for your invitation?”
Li Duoyu just sat down to rest for a while.
The loudspeaker in the village rang: "The village committee has informed that the elected village cadres are invited to go to the village committee conference room for a meeting immediately."
“Notify again.”
After hearing this broadcast.
Li Duoyu drank another mouthful of boiled water, then got up and went to the village committee.
Although he is the village director, he is only the second-in-command in Xiasha Village.
The leader is Wang Dapao, the village party secretary.
The team of the village committee is now basically determined.
Village party secretary, Wang Dapao.
Village director, Li Duoyu.
Women’s Director, Liu Xiuzhu.
Militia company commander, Zhang Erhu.
There are also several village committee members, Zhang Jinsha, Tang Ping, and Liao Juntian.
By the time Li Duoyu arrived at the village committee meeting room, everyone had already arrived.
Wang Dapao sat on the east side of the long square table. Only one person could sit in that place, which was usually the chair of the meeting.
After seeing Li Duoyu coming.
Wang Dapao said: "Now that we are all here, we are a newly formed team, so please feel free to sit down."
The corner of Li Duoyu's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but want to curse. He sat in the biggest seat, and then told everyone to sit wherever they wanted.
As the second in command in the village.
Of course you have to be a bit strong. If you sit at the bottom of the table, wouldn't it make them think that they can do whatever they want?
Li Duoyu was not polite and sat directly opposite Wang Dapao.
Seeing Li Duoyu sitting directly opposite, Wang Dapao frowned, but still presided over the meeting with a smile on his face.
“Many of us here are familiar faces. Lao Zhang, Company Commander Zhang, Lao Liao, and Director Liu were all old comrades from the production brigade.”
“Now we have a new young comrade in our organization, Li Duoyu. I don’t think I need to introduce him. Everyone should be familiar with him.”
“The main purpose of calling everyone here today is to arrange and allocate work for everyone. Since our village has just been restructured, a lot of work needs to be redistributed and coordinated.
But now, we have a very important thing to implement on Dandan Island, which is the cultivation of abalone of 300 acres.
I hope we can now set up an abalone farming follow-up group, and it just so happens that our comrade Li Duoyu has very rich farming experience and has a good relationship with the Fisheries Research Institute.
In addition, some time ago, kelp farming has given us Dandan Island a good reputation, and even the leaders of the city came to congratulate it in person.
It can be seen that Li Duoyu is very powerful in the field of breeding. I hereby recommend that Comrade Li Duoyu be hired to be elected as the leader of our Dandan Island abalone breeding group.
What do you think? "
Liu Xiuzhu nodded and said, "I think it's okay."
Tang Ping smiled and said: "I also agree. If Duoyu is responsible for abalone farming, then I will be more relieved."
Zhang Jinsha: “I also support this.”
After hearing these words, Li Duoyu's forehead was covered with black lines. He didn't expect Wang Dapao to be really ruthless, so he planned to trap him on the first day.
Had it not been for the experience of two lifetimes, coupled with the understanding of abalone, placed in a stupid young man, he might have been grateful to Wang Dapao.
This project was introduced by Wang Dapao, but he is willing to let people pick peaches. In the eyes of others, he is simply a good guy.
Looking at it from another perspective, it’s completely different. It’s like finding someone to take the blame. Once Li Duoyu becomes the leader of the abalone breeding group.
Then you have to take responsibility.
As long as the two Hong Kong Islanders run away or the abalone dies, he, the team leader, will definitely take the blame. At that time, Wang Dapao only needs to say: "Li Duoyu, what did you do? You don't even know that the two Hong Kong Islanders ran away."
You can easily throw the blame on him.
In his previous life, he also met several college student village officials. When they arrived at the place, they were treated like monkeys and ended up doing odd jobs.
As for the village cadres who supported Wang Dapao, Li Duoyu naturally knew that they had their intentions in mind, because they invested a lot of money.
Li Duoyu said modestly: "I think this matter needs more attention from Party Secretary Wang."
“I really don’t know anything about raising abalone, but if you want to raise kelp and oysters, you can come to me at any time.”
See Li Duoyu refuse.
Other village cadres immediately said: "There are many fish, you don't need to be modest about this kind of thing."
“Yes, we are optimistic about you too.”
Wang Dapao also smiled and said: "Duoyu, I think this matter really belongs to you. We really can't find anyone on the island who is better than you."
Facing so many people’s anger, Li Duoyu smiled and replied:
“Wang Dapao”
“Oh, my mouth”
“Party Secretary Wang, if I remember correctly, didn’t the two Hong Kong Islanders say they would hire a professional team and experts to manage it? When will those experts come?”
“I don’t think there’s any need to worry about this in advance. Once the experts arrive, we can set up an abalone breeding group in time.”
After Li Duoyu’s reminder, everyone woke up.
“Yes, I almost forgot about the many fishes.”
“Indeed, there’s no need to be in such a hurry.”
“Let’s wait until the experts come.”
See Li Duoyu mention this matter.
Wang Dapao’s smile disappeared instantly.
What he wants to do most now is to make abalone farming a matter for the entire village committee, not Wang Dapao alone.
I thought Li Duoyu was relatively young and didn’t know much about some things. In addition, young people are full of enthusiasm and want to do everything.
Give him a name so that if something happens in the future, you can also bring Li Duoyu along, but he didn't expect this kid to kick the ball back to him.
Wang Dapao could only say: "Okay, let's discuss the abalone breeding group later."
A meeting lasted for two hours.
Li Duoyu almost fell asleep after listening to it, because Wang Dapao actually read the entire restructuring document according to the original text.
His mouth is not thirsty.
Li Duoyu is a little thirsty.
After the meeting.
Li Duoyu came to his office under the leadership of Lao Liao.
Looking at the office in front of him, Li Duoyu was a little surprised because it was so well decorated. The cabinets, tables and chairs were all new, and there was a world map on the back.
What really caught Li Duoyu's attention was the set of desks and chairs used for working.
At first glance, it was no ordinary wood. It was light yellow and had very fine texture. Li Duoyu went over and smelled it, and there was a faint fragrance of nanmu.
If you guessed it correctly, it should be a native wood from their province, Hokkien nan.
This thing is too expensive.
In the previous life, this thing was a national second-level rare and endangered species.
Once the texture of this kind of wood has golden threads, it will become the golden nanmu that everyone is familiar with.
The office of a small village director has such a high-end desk and chair.
Isn’t this harmful to people?
If Li Duoyu guessed correctly, Wang Jinjun should have bought this set of tables and chairs for himself. He was imprisoned without even thinking about using them.
As for the law enforcement officers who raided Wang Jinjun's home, they probably never imagined that there were Wang Jinjun's things here.
One day when the superiors come to inspect and see this set of tables and chairs, no matter how good you are at your job, they will look at you with colored glasses.
This Wang Dapao is really ruthless.
On his first day at the village committee, two big surprises were laid for him.
As expected of someone who specializes in playing tricks.
Li Duoyu said to Lao Liao, who was responsible for the daily work of the village committee: "Uncle Liao, can you help me replace this set of tables and chairs first?"
Lao Liao said: "This set of tables is not very good, why should we change it?"
Li Duoyu smiled bitterly and said: "It's good, but it's too good. Did Wang Jinjun buy this table?"
“He bought it right.” Lao Liao nodded.
“Uncle Liao, I suggest you immediately notify the person in charge of the current supply and marketing cooperative and ask them to move this set of tables and chairs. This set of tables and chairs is too expensive. I’m afraid I’ll get hemorrhoids if I sit on my butt.”
Lao Liao couldn't help but ask: "How much do these tables and chairs cost?"
Li Duoyu stretched out five fingers.
Lao Liao frowned and said, "Five hundred?"
Following that, Li Duoyu stretched out five more fingers.
Old Liao was surprised: "One thousand?"
Li Duoyu nodded: "I don't know exactly how much it will cost, but it will cost at least one thousand."
After hearing the price, Lao Liao took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll contact the director of the supply and marketing cooperative right away."
Wang Dapao, who was working next door, was so angry that he broke the pen in his hand after hearing that Li Duoyu immediately changed the desk and chair.
“Damn it, is this kid a monster?”
“How do you even understand this?”
