Chapter 397 Grilled eel explodes

(As for the resignation of the village director, the author will definitely listen to his opinions and consider it carefully, so please don’t worry.)

 After a heavy rainstorm.

The red tide and blue tears that ravaged the waters of Dandan Island just disappeared.

At the same time, Li Duoyu received a letter from Ludao Fisheries Technical School, which roughly meant that he was invited to visit the school in one month to discuss related teaching matters.

 Li Duoyu is a visiting teacher, which is different from regular teachers. He does not have a long-term employment contract or formal teaching status.

 Teaching is also relatively relaxed, and only specific content is taught within a specific time period.

Although he doesn’t have to stand on the podium very often, Li Duoyu is still a little nervous when he thinks that he will have to give lectures to a group of technical secondary school students in a month.

  After all, in this era, those who can get into technical secondary schools are the best among the best.

 After the reopening, everything was in need of improvement. The carrot pits in many units were empty and there was a huge shortage of people.

 If you graduate from a technical secondary school, you can enter the workplace before the age of twenty, and technical secondary school students of this era are not only assigned jobs.

 Some better schools even cover tuition fees and provide students with various food stamps and monetary subsidies.

It can be said that at that time, technical secondary school students were the fastest way for farmers to turn over. As long as they graduated, they would have an iron rice bowl and a cadre status.

Zhou Xiaoying once told him that it is more difficult for technical secondary school students to take the exam now than it was back then. The admission rate is only 10%. Some who do not do well in the exam will continue to study in high school, and then take the route of high school secondary school or university.

Of course it doesn’t mean that technical secondary school students at that time were better than college students. It’s just that the society at that time gave students more choices.

 Teaching classes to a group of top students is quite stressful.

Li Duoyu asked Zhou Xiaoying on the bed how to teach students. Zhou Xiaoying, who was so hot that she was sweating all over, only replied: "If you are real, then you are not afraid of teaching."

 “There are no substantive suggestions.”

Zhou Xiaoying said disgustedly: "What suggestions can you give me? Teaching is not about teaching what you know to those who don't know how to do it."

 After hearing this, Li Duoyu felt like he was enlightened and seemed to have nothing to be afraid of.

The people at the Fisheries Research Institute may not necessarily have as good aquaculture techniques as he does. Just teach a bunch of kids, they are afraid of being a hammer.

 But now, there is something more important than teaching. Manager Chen Yuanyou and An Yuliang have sent him several telegrams, all asking about grilled eels.

Li Duoyu asked Chen Wenchao and his second brother to fish out some eels and put them in the pond for temporary cultivation.

 Before grilling the eel.

It is best to starve the eel for two days first, that is, to drink water to cleanse the intestines, so that when the eel is slaughtered, it will not be easily contaminated by various bacteria.

 After the net eel.

Li Duoyu transported the eel to the aquatic product processing factory, put the eel directly in the ice water, and stunned it.

 For slaughtering eels, this step is actually quite critical. If eels are slippery, they will not be stunned by ice.

 When it comes to killing, it will definitely run around and cannot be caught. In addition to being stunned by ice, a large bolt-type iron nail is also a must.

In order to cooperate with Li Duoyu's grilled eel processing this time, Director Liu of the aquatic products processing plant directly arranged for more than a dozen people to work for him.

 Let Li Duoyu teach them how to grill eel.

 Fortunately, most of these people are fishermen from Shangfeng Town. They were originally good at killing fish. Li Duoyu knew several of them because they came here to work from Dandan Island.

 After Li Duoyu demonstrated and explained several times, the workers quickly grasped the essentials and knew **** eels.

 Since there is no equipment for grilling eels, Li Duoyu can only grill it manually, which happens to be Li Duoyu’s strength.

 In his previous life, when he was working as an illegal worker and business was at its best, Li Duoyu could grill thousands of eels a day by himself. He was a veritable eel grilling immortal.

Li Duoyu patiently explained the precautions for grilling eel, when to brush the eel with juice, when to collect the juice, and how far it should be grilled before it is done.

 As a result, Li Duoyu discovered that the workers of this era are really spiritual, highly savvy, and very positive.

After an afternoon of trying, they have almost mastered the core skills of grilling eel, and Li Duoyu took advantage of their practice time to cook a large amount of kabayaki sauce.

An artificial grilled eel production line was officially put into operation, and Li Duoyu served as a quality inspector on site, responsible for the quality of the entire production line.

 The agreement Li Duoyu signed with the aquatic product processing factory is that the rental fee for an assembly line is one hundred yuan.

The processing fee for an eel is five cents.

 The packaging fee is 10 cents,

 The color printing fee for each packaging bag is 20 cents.

 Li Duoyu calculated the costs and found that the space and labor were very cheap, but packaging and printing cost the most.

  After all, in this era, there are really not many printing machines in a city, let alone machines that can print on plastic packaging bags.

 This packaging bag was run by Director Liu of the aquatic product processing factory for him. Otherwise, Li Duoyu would go directly to it and the printing factory would ignore you.

 Five days have passed.

Li Duoyu sold the grilled and packaged eels to two companies, Chen Yuanyu and An Yuliang, at a price of 1.5 yuan each.

 After deducting various costs, Li Duoyu didn't make a lot from more than 20,000 eels, with a net profit of less than 20,000. Compared with exporting to Xiaori, the profit difference was at least half.

However, it is not without its benefits. The plastic packaging of the grilled eel is all printed with the four characters "Minlong Food".

 Before grilled eel is on the market.

Xinyuan Aquatic Products Company and Rongcheng United have already launched an advertising campaign. On the day it was launched, there were long queues at every stall selling grilled eel, as well as at supply and marketing cooperatives.

 On the first day, more than 2,000 eels were robbed in less than an hour.

This time, Xinyuan Aquatic Products Company and Rongcheng United Distribution Company have quite a tacit understanding.

  They did not sell all the grilled eels at once, but released them in batches.

And the sales of both parties do not overlap. The main positions of Xinyuan Aquatic Products are fish markets and seafood stalls, while the main sales channels of Rongcheng United Distribution Company are supply and marketing cooperatives.

 In just a few days, grilled eel has become the most popular product in Rongcheng.

 In this era of material scarcity, the smell of grilled eel can really bring people a sense of happiness.

 Sweet sauce.

 Coupled with the caramelized and soft eel meat, it is even better with rice than braised pork.

 For a time, whoever ate grilled eel became the envy of everyone.

The place that sells grilled eel has not even opened yet, and there is already a long queue, and some people even engage in scalping.

“I just grabbed it, do you want it for four yuan? No need to queue up, otherwise if it’s your turn, it will probably be sold out.”

The popularity of grilled eel has also led to Minlong Food, and everyone is talking about Minlong Food, which produces grilled eel.

As a result, everyone discovered that this Minlong Food Store was the same store that sold kelp and oysters before. Together with the village director who often reported it, it became the focus of everyone's attention.

Some people also joked:

“Li Duoyu, this name is so good, no wonder the business is so big. From now on, my children will just be called Zhang Duojin.”

 “Then my name is Chen Duofu.”

An aunt on the side said with disdain: "What's wrong is that I don't even have a partner, so I just want to name my child."

Zhang Jianhua, who ate a hundred and fifty at a Japanese restaurant, finally asked someone to get two grilled eels from the supply and marketing cooperative.

.

Zhang Jianhua instantly became dejected and cursed constantly. He wanted to throw the grilled eel into the ditch, but after thinking about it, he finally decided to give the grilled eel to the factory leaders.

With the popularity of grilled eel, some merchants who sensed business opportunities followed the address on the packaging bag and went to Dandan Island for on-the-spot investigation.

 As a tin boat docked.

Old man Mi, who was sitting by the pier smoking a cigarette, said directly before the other party asked: "Minlong Food is over there. If you walk over, it will be there in ten minutes."

"Thank you, sir." Maybe it was because of Old Man Mi's unkempt appearance and the fact that he often put a bucket in front of him, but several vendors actually threw several coins into his bucket.

This made Old Mi look very dark, and he wanted to scold the other person: Do I look like a beggar?

 But after thinking about it, I might as well forget it.

 Old man Mi picked up the fifty-cent coins in the bucket, wiped them clean, and put them into his pocket. No one can get away with money.

But the traders who came to inspect it all fell into deep thought after seeing the drafty factory building.

How could such a run-down breeding factory produce such high-end grilled eel?

And the fire of roasting eels in Rongcheng also spread to Nanri Town, which is a newly built breeding factory.

 At the back, bulldozers and excavators were used to build more than 20 ponds. There is also a two-story office directly in front.

 The iron gate at the front has the words "Haixin Eel Breeding Factory" hanging on it.

At this time, a farm vehicle stopped at the big iron gate, and then a young man got out, holding in his arms five grilled eels that he had bought from scalpers not long ago.

“Manager Zhou, I got the goods.”

Not long after, about ten people gathered in the two-story office. Some looked like cadres, some looked like researchers like Chen Dongqing, and there were even chefs.

 After they finished eating the grilled eel, everyone couldn't help but admire it.

 “This tastes really good.”

“I think we are on the right path. Not only must we engage in this, but we must also engage in special efforts to suppress the Minlong Food.”

The manager surnamed Zhou asked: "Master Zhang, can you tell what the sauce for this grilled eel is made of?"

 The chef named Zhang has been frowning since he ate the grilled eel.

“You can roughly guess that it contains rock sugar, wine flavor, and soy sauce.”

Manager Zhou asked directly: "Can you please give me a confirmation and make the same recipe?"

 Master Zhang was silent for a while, and then said: "I think there are probably ingredients in this sauce that I don't understand. It's okay to imitate it, but it's probably a bit difficult to make it exactly the same."

After listening to what the chef said, Manager Zhou asked the big village woman beside him:

“Comrade Zhu, you and Li Duoyu have lived under the same roof for so many years. Do you know what ingredients Li Duoyu uses when grilling eel?”

Zhu Xiuhua racked her brains and recalled: "I only saw him do it once. When he was grilling eels, he seemed to have prepared a kind of wine, but I don't know what kind of wine it was."

Manager Zhou smiled at the chef and said: "Comrade Zhu has reminded me so far. Next, I will leave the eel sauce recipe to you."

After finishing speaking, Manager Zhou continued to ask Zhu Xiuhua: "Comrade Zhu, now that our pond has been dug, what should we do next?"

Zhu Xiuhua smiled and said: "I know this. I was involved in the entire process of digging the pond. My brother-in-law said that after the pond is dug, it must be disinfected and watered."

 At this time.

In a machinery factory in Rongcheng, several female workers in work clothes opened their lunch boxes and were eating lunch with spoons.

“Jingxiu, take out the grilled eel you grabbed this morning and show it to everyone.”

A female worker wearing sleeves said: "I put it in a hot water bottle. I heard that it needs to be stored in the refrigerator. If there is no refrigerator, I will have to eat it tonight."

 “Give us a look, we won’t eat you.”

 “I don’t believe you.”

“Sister Yuqin, your husband seems to be from Dandan Island. I heard that this grilled eel is produced on Dandan Island. Does Jinchuan know this Minlong Food?”

Jiang Yuqin smiled and said: "This Minlong Food is the company opened by my brother-in-law."

 Several female workers were all stunned.

“It’s true, Sister Yuqin, you have such a powerful person in your family, why don’t you tell us about it?”

“My Jinchuan family is relatively low-key and doesn’t like to show off everywhere. Besides, if I let you know that this is a company run by my brother-in-law’s family, I might have to bring you goods more often in the future.”

A younger female worker said coquettishly: "Sister Yuqin, Xiaojun and I haven't grabbed it. It is said that it is almost out of stock. Since it is your brother-in-law's company, can you buy some for us?"

 Jiang Yuqin frowned and thought for a while. Recently, for some reason, the leaders in the factory suddenly paid special attention to Li Jinchuan and were evaluating him for promotion.

If you can bring some grilled eel out as a favor, it might be beneficial to the assessment.

“Okay, then I’ll go back to the island this week. There may not be any, but if there is, I will definitely get it for you.”

 “Thank you, Sister Yuqin.”

At this moment, Jiang Yuqin heard the doorman shouting: "Jiang Yuqin, there is your package at the door."

Who sent me something?

 When Jiang Yuqin came to the communication room, he found a very tightly packed foam box, which was quite heavy to hold.

The three characters "Dandan Island" were written in crayon on it. Jiang Yuqin thought that his mother-in-law was sending him dry goods again.

Since he married Jinchuan, the new mother-in-law has sent her some squid, dried razor clams and the like every once in a while.

I guess he wanted to urge her to have another child, but this time the packaging was a little different and very heavy.

After Jiang Yuqin opened it, he found that it was covered with a layer of crushed ice. After removing the crushed ice, he found that it was full of frozen grilled eels.

There are more than fifty grilled eels. According to the market price, it is more than one hundred yuan. If it is calculated according to the scalper price, it is two hundred yuan.

Seeing so many eels, Jiang Yuqin instantly knew who sent them, and he felt a little more grateful.

 The female workers who had just eaten with her opened their eyes wide when they saw so many grilled eels in the foam box.

"so much"

 “My brother-in-law just sent it.”

 A young female worker suddenly said: "Sister Yuqin, does your brother-in-law have a partner?"

Jiang Yuqin rolled his eyes and said: "The child is over one year old, and you are a little slut. Aren't you talking to the worker Chen in the workshop?"

 “I haven’t even written out the eight characters yet.”

 At the entrance of Rongcheng Courtyard.

The guard standing guard at the guard box with a gun said sternly: "You can't enter here."

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Comrade, can you call Chef Liu Sanduo for me? Just tell me that a person named Li Duoyu is looking for him."

The guard said: "No, you can register it, take apart the things, and put them here. I will notify him to come out and get them after I make sure they are safe."

Li Duoyu opened the foam box and said: "There is nothing dangerous, it is all grilled eels."

“Okay, you can register your identity information and I will notify Chef Liu Sanduo later.”

Li Duoyu hurried back to the rickshaw after delivering the grilled eel to the guard box.

The master riding the tricycle couldn't help but ask: "Comrade, what is in your foam box? Why are you sending it to these organizational units?"

“There’s nothing, just some small seafood. Master, let’s go to the Rongcheng Fisheries Bureau for the last box.”

 The master wiped his sweat with a towel:

“It’s really a bit of a loss to make this order for you. I’m almost halfway through Rongcheng. These things of yours are heavy. Can you give me an extra two cents?”

“Master, this is not possible. We agreed from the beginning that there is no such thing as a temporary price increase.”

When leaving, Li Duoyu found that the three children at Rongcheng Pier were no longer catching crickets, but were helping a weak woman sell beancurd.

Li Duoyu, who originally liked to eat tofu pudding, wanted to go over and have a bowl, but after thinking about it, he decided not to eat it and sailed directly back to Dandan Island.

The plot of this chapter is a little rushed, and the details may not be well written, so I hope you can forgive me.
