 Chapter 406 The First Lesson

After Li Duoyu stepped onto the Ludao Pier, the third uncle, uncle, and Li Shuguang's boat continued to go south.

Ludao Pier is directly opposite Gulangyu Island on the west side of the island, which is known as the "Architecture Exhibition Hall of All Nations".

 Just a few hundred meters apart.

Looking across the sea, you can still clearly see that it is full of foreign-style houses. In fact, the area along the street of Ludao Pier is also full of foreign-style houses.

Li Duoyu doesn’t know much about history. He only knows that Gulangyu Island, like Yantai Mountain in Rongcheng, was originally a consulate and a place where “foreign masters” lived. Later, it seems that many overseas Chinese built villas and manors on it.

 When Li Duoyu came here, there was no water on the island, and fresh water could only be transported there by water supply boats. Life was very difficult.

This also caused many aboriginal people on the island to abandon Gulangyu Island and come to live on Ludao Island.

 Li Duoyu had just landed on the island.

Seeing that he was dressed as a "cadre", many field guides immediately came running over.

“Comrade, this is your first time to visit Ludao Island. I can take you to Gulangyu Island. Take our boat, which is cheaper than the ferry. I can introduce you to the history of Ludao Island for free.”

“Lin Bei, who grew up here, I still want you to take care of me.”

Most people in Ludao speak Minnan, and his mother-in-law, who is from Chenjiacun, can also speak it. Li Duoyu has learned some of it since he was a child.

After hearing this, the wild guide’s face suddenly dropped, and he cursed:

 “It turns out to be a local monkey.”

Li Duoyu said disgustedly: "You guys from out of town, please go back to your home quickly."

Friendly greetings like this often happen on Ludao Island, especially on Gulangyu Island, because Gulangyu Island has had running water in the past two years.

 The entire Ludao has also become a special economic zone.

 Many tourists come to the island, and they especially like to go to Gulangyu Island.

Many people who originally moved to the island wanted to go back, only to find that Gulangyu Island had been occupied by outsiders.

 As a result, locals and immigrants often had quarrels and cursed at each other there, and this curse continued for decades.

 But with constant cursing, the locals have become a rare species. Unlike Rongcheng, Ludao is an immigrant city, and the foreign population far exceeds the locals.

Li Duoyu is not a person who likes to visit scenic spots. Instead of going to Zhongshan Road, where there are many shops nearby, he went to the nearby fish market.

There is a Kaihe Road not far from Ludao Pier. Locals generally call it the Eighth Market, or "Eight Markets" for short.

I heard that there used to be ten markets in Ludao, but they were all destroyed later, leaving only the eighth market.

 A very small road.

 Even before you get close, you can smell the strong smell of seafood, and there are all kinds of sewage flowing on the ground.

There are many islanders riding bicycles, shuttling around the Eighth Market, and there are also many outsiders who use carts to pull sea water, hawking in Mandarin: "Sea water, sea water, who wants sea water, and ice cubes, who wants it?" want."

A vendor waved to him and said, "Bring me two buckets and a box of ice cubes."

Since it is very close to the pier, most of the seafood here is purchased by the stall owners themselves from the pier. There is no middleman to make the difference, so the price is much cheaper.

Li Duoyu asked:

“Abei, how do you sell this hairtail?”

The vendor replied:

“One pound and a half for big eyes, three triangles for small eyes.”

Li Duoyu said deliberately: "Why are the ones with small eyes more expensive?"

“At first glance, you are not from our local area. The small-eyed hairtail is from Zhoushan and the Bohai Sea. It has a lot of meat on its body and is solid. The big-eyed hairtail is from the South China Sea, and its meat is relatively watery.”

I didn’t expect that this vendor was quite honest and did not fool people casually. In the previous life, there were many vendors who often used big-eye hairtail fish to fool people.

What I mean: The bigger it is, the tastier it is.

But in fact, those big-eyed hairtails are tropical hairtails. They are relatively large and have very watery meat. When frying hairtails, the fish meat is particularly easy to get rotten.

There are many kinds of seafood in the fish market, probably because of the season of gun barrel squid and hairtail, these two kinds of fish are particularly abundant.

In addition to seafood, the eight markets also sell various agricultural products. What makes Li Duoyu salivate from time to time are all kinds of ducks.

 There are stalls selling "Longhai Salted Duck" from time to time on both sides, but the most fragrant one is probably "Gan Mouth Ginger Duck".

 You can smell the aroma from across the street, the aroma of **** slices and duck mixed together, it feels like you can eat several bowls of rice.

But Li Duoyu walked around and ended up not eating duck. Instead, he found a roadside stall and ate "shacha noodles."

This thing can be regarded as a "special snack" unique to the island, but there is no tea in sand tea.

It is just a transliteration, the authentic name should be "sata", and this thing is not a local seasoning.

 And there is a story.

 A long time ago, there was a family of fishermen. The father died young and the mother raised her son alone.

 The son was rescued by an Indonesian merchant ship after a storm at sea and worked as a cook on the ship. There he learned to use a condiment called sand tea.

Many years later, the son returned to his hometown to cook for his mother, but there was no salt at home, so he used the sand tea powder he brought back as salt to sprinkle on the noodles.

 After trying it, my mother found the condiment to be very delicious, so sand tea became popular on the island.

Li Duoyu also ordered a portion of Sha Cha Noodles, which tasted really good and had a Southeast Asian flavor.

The taste of sand tea is indeed very good, a little sweet, but also a little spicy. Coupled with fresh gun barrels, fish rings, scallops and sea shrimps, it is really delicious.

 Li Duoyu after eating the noodles.

 He also drank up the soup.

 After paying 80 cents, we went to Ludao Fisheries Science and Technology School.

 This school is on the side of Tiyu Road.

It’s not too far from Bashi, just across the Yundang Lake.

This lake was originally connected to the sea, but in the 1970s, for some unknown reason, a dam was built at the mouth of the lake, directly turning Yundang Lake into a "stagnant water."

Li Duoyu originally wanted to walk around Yuandang Lake, but as soon as he got closer, he smelled a smell of foul water.

Looking from a distance, there are all kinds of algae growing on the lake, and even seabirds are rarely seen.

Li Duoyu remembered that when he came here with Agui, the water in the lake was relatively clean. How could it have become like this in just a few years? It was almost the same as the smelly ditch in the inner river of Rongcheng.

Li Duoyu carried his suitcase and walked around the lake for about an hour before arriving at Ludao Fisheries Science and Technology School.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Li Duoyu saw many students in colorful clothes. Many girls were wearing knee-length skirts and colorful hairbands on their heads.

Li Duoyu came to the reception room at the door and quickly took out the employment letter given to him by the school without waiting for the uncle to ask questions.

After reading it, the uncle said with a smile on his face: "It turns out to be Teacher Li, please come in, please come in."

Smelling the smell of cigarette smoke on the uncle's body, Li Duoyu handed him a cigarette: "I just arrived. Can I ask where Director Liu from the Academic Affairs Office is?"

After taking the cigarette, the uncle pointed to the building in front and said, "Director Liu, he is on the second floor of the building in front. There is a sign of Academic Affairs Office, which is his office."

 “Thank you.”

"You're welcome. If you have anything to do in the future, just call me."

Li Duoyu followed the direction pointed by the uncle and came to the Academic Affairs Office.

 There are two teachers inside.

 One looks to be in his forties, but already has a Mediterranean hairstyle, and the other looks to be a few years older than Li Duoyu.

 Li Duoyu knocked on the door.

 “Is Director Liu here?”

The middle-aged Mediterranean man looked at Li Duoyu in front of him for a few times, then quickly picked up the newspaper on the table and looked at it, and said in surprise:

“I am Liu Linfang, and you are Director Li Duoyu, right?”

"Director Liu, just call me Xiao Li." "I'm really sorry that you are so busy and I invited you to give lectures in our school."

"It's okay, I just have a lot of free time these two months." Li Duoyu wouldn't say that he had to come because he wanted to give Director Wu face.

However, what Li Duoyu didn't expect was that just as the two of them were chatting politely, the young man in his early thirties suddenly became angry and even became hostile to Li Duoyu.

“I never thought that someone who had never even attended a junior college and had a diploma from a junior high school would dare to come to teach in our school.”

 The person who comes is not good!

Li Duo was smiling but not smiling. He looked at the young man in front of him and felt that this kind of person was really stupid. Even if he didn't like it, he could just arrange it behind my back. There was really no need to get angry in front of him.

 I have a low diploma.

  But I’m awesome!

Li Duoyu didn't tolerate him and asked directly: "Director Liu, if I came here suddenly like this, did I take away this teacher's job?"

“No matter what, Director Li can come to our school and it’s too late to welcome him.”

Director Liu looked at the young man with a dark face and almost poked him with his finger.

“I’m really sorry for making you laugh. The main reason is that this teacher Zhang wrote to you before to ask for advice on eel farming, but you refused.”

 Li Duoyu frowned and thought seriously for a while.

“So many people asked me for advice, and they all refused. I really forgot when Teacher Zhang asked me for advice.”

The young teacher surnamed Zhang was so angry that his hands were shaking. Seeing Li Duoyu's arrogant look, he was so angry that he wanted to continue to be arrogant.

However, Director Liu shouted loudly to stop him.

“Zhang Xuejin, can you be a bit wise? Director Li was recommended by Director Wu, and our school begged him to come here. Do you want Principal Yang to come and talk to you in person?”

After Director Liu finished speaking, he continued to apologize and said: "Director Li, I'm really sorry that I left such a bad impression on you when you first arrived at our school. You probably don't have a place to stay yet. I'll take you there first." Teachers’ dormitory, get familiar with the campus environment.”

Li Duoyu glanced at Teacher Zhang and said calmly: "It's okay, I'm used to it. There are so many people in the world who are small-minded, so it's normal to meet one or two."

Zhang Xuejin was really furious, his chest heaving with anger: "Who are you beating around the bush and cursing?"

“I’m not swearing, don’t worry, I’m just saying that there are a lot of stupid people in the world.”

“Director Li, let me take you to the dormitory first.”

Liu Lingfang smiled awkwardly and quickly took Li Duoyu out of the teaching room. At the same time, he also gave Li Duoyu a label:

This person is difficult to deal with, so don't mess with him.

 Under the leadership of Director Liu.

 Li Duoyu came to the dormitory. It was actually the same as the student dormitory. The only difference was that there were multiple dormitories for students.

He has a single room with a double-decker iron bed and a table with a hot water bottle on it.

“Teacher Li, we have a cafeteria, a place dedicated to steaming rice, and a cafeteria.”

 Li Duoyu briefly looked at the textbook and found that it was quite simple and he should be able to master it.

 After the introduction.

Director Liu said: "At that time, the school will arrange a class for you, which will mainly talk about your breeding experience in the past two years."

 Under the leadership of Director Liu, Li Duoyu visited the school. Currently, the school mainly focuses on two majors.

 One is aquaculture.

 The other is ship maintenance.

 In the past, the aquaculture base was located in Yuandang Lake, but after Yuandang Lake was polluted, it was moved outside.

 Li Duoyu looked at the textbook and found that the content was not very difficult, and Li Duoyu could even find a lot of mistakes, but overall, it was still good.

At night, the school is very lively. There are no mobile phones in this era. Everyone is either studying in the dormitory or playing on the playground.

 Li Duoyu heard the sound of the guitar.

 At ten o'clock.

 The lights-out music sounded, and soon after, all the lights in the student dormitories were turned off, and a very civilized voice came from the boys' dormitory.

The lights in Li Duoyu's teacher's dormitory were still on, and Li Duoyu also took a washbasin and a towel, preparing to go to the bathroom to take a shower.

 I rarely take such a hearty shower. There is no nozzle, but a jet of water rushing down.

 At the small window next to the bathroom, several students secretly smoked there and stared at the building opposite.

 “It’s so dark, what’s so good about it.”

"You don't understand this. Last time in the middle of the night, I actually saw a woman wearing underwear and hanging out her clothes."

 “You can brag.”

“I lied to you and stood on my head to eat shit.”

At this time, a flashlight shone over, and a girl cursed: "You are really perverted, what's so good about wearing clothes?"

 A group of people were so frightened that they dispersed instantly. These people finally noticed Li Duoyu who was taking a bath.

“Classmate, have you just transferred here? Why haven’t I seen you before?”

 Li Duoyu smiled and said, "I did just transfer here."

 “Classmate, which major are you in?”

 Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Aquaculture."

 “Then we are in the same major.”

 A group of students said to Li Duoyu, "Then you might want to call me senior."

Li Duoyu smiled.

 “Classmate, which dormitory do you live in?”

 “The room at the end of the corridor.”

“You’re kidding, those are all teachers’ dormitories. How can you be a teacher like this?”

Everyone looked at Li Duoyu and found out that he was relatively strong and had a beard. He looked quite mature. The most important thing was that he was bigger down there.

 Li Duoyu suddenly said: "Classmate, which dormitory are you from?"

 They all fled in an instant?

 In the next two days, Li Duoyu racked his brains to write a speech. To be honest, writing this thing was much more difficult than farming.

It took me two full days to write the three-leaf manuscript.

 By the third day.

 Director Liu Lingfang came to see him.

Li Duoyu originally thought it was just a small class, with only thirty or forty students.

 I didn’t expect it to be a chapel.

There were not only students sitting below, but also school teachers and leaders, and even the research institute of Ludao Fisheries Research Institute. What Li Duoyu didn’t expect the most was that Director Wu was also here.

“Now I would like to invite Director Li from Xiasha Village. He is the first person in kelp farming in Fujian Province and a pioneer in eel farming. He has traveled to island countries with inspection groups and gained a lot of valuable farming experience.”

“Next, with warm applause, let’s invite Director Li to come to the stage to give us a speech.”

 “Papa pa pa.”

 The warm applause continued, but Li Duoyu couldn't help but secretly cursed: Foolish.
