Vol 3 Chapter 500: Your master is inside, my master is outside?
Li Duoyu was not polite when he came up. He just picked up the dried fish and started eating it. While eating, he still felt disgusted.
"Your dried fish is 100% given to you by Lao Liao. It's salty, hard and unpalatable to death. If you want to eat dried fish, I suggest you go to Team 7 to buy it from Lao Hu. He has been drying it for more than 20 years. Dried fish, the dryness and humidity are very well controlled.”
After taking a bite of the dried fish, Li Duoyu felt a little thirsty and said with a smile: "Comrade, please buy me a bottle of wine."
The young comrade frowned and looked at the young man in front of him. He looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was: "Who are you?"
“Me, my name is Zhang San.”
The young comrade smiled awkwardly: "Hello, Comrade Zhang San, do you have anything to do with me?"
“No, I just saw you scolding that Li Duoyu, so I came over to have a chat. By the way, you look very unfamiliar, you are not from our island.”
The young comrade sighed, guessing that the person in front of him didn't recognize him, the new village party secretary.
Seeing him reaching for his beer, the young comrade felt nervous and quickly protected his beer.
Beer is not cheap. With his salary as the village party secretary, buying two bottles of beer to drown his sorrows is already a very luxury thing. But drinking too much will only make his sorrows worse.
I thought it wouldn’t cost much to come to the island, but I didn’t expect that the cost would be even higher.
The situation here is different from that in the county. There is no employee canteen at all. He still has some tickets in his hand, but they are of no use at all.
There is no canteen in the village, so if he wants to eat, he has to cook it himself. What makes him most devastated is that he has to spend money to buy firewood.
Oh, what the **** is this.
At first, when he was transferred here, he was a little excited. He had heard that Dandan Island had a lot of seafood.
On arrival, I discovered that there was plenty of seafood, but I didn’t have a boat or a net, so I still had to spend money to buy all the seafood.
Shangfeng Town is a special place. It used to be a smuggling business, and it has been "removing tickets" very early.
All kinds of "tickets" that are very popular in the city are no longer popular here. Everyone only talks about money with you, and even the state-owned supply and marketing cooperatives don't like to collect tickets.
When he first took the food stamps to buy rice, the salesperson was a little disgusted and muttered: "Who still uses this thing now?"
It made him quite depressed. Two days ago, he went to the pier to look at seafood and saw two young men selling blue crabs there.
I thought the seafood on Dandan Island was cheap, so I just asked for two. But when they paid, the two brothers just said: "Two blue crabs for one dollar."
He really couldn't save his face, so he gritted his teeth and forcefully bought two blue crabs.
After coming for a while, he finally understood that this Dandan Island was the Dandan Island of their locals, not the Dandan Island of him, an outsider.
For a foreigner like him, he has to use money to buy everything on the island. The fish tickets in his hand cannot be used here at all.
The same goes for meat stamps and vegetable stamps. They are simply not feasible here. If you want to eat vegetables, you can only buy them from the villagers.
Either take a boat to the supply and marketing cooperative in the town to buy it, but in fact, the entire Shangfeng Town does not like to accept this coupon.
Anyway, everything costs money on the island. Buying fish costs money, buying meat costs money. If you want to eat vegetables, you have to buy them from the villagers.
His salary was simply not enough to live on Dandan Island. He had only been here for about ten days, and he had spent nearly twenty yuan.
Now he only has more than ten yuan left in his pocket, and there are still twenty days before his salary is due next month. How can he live?
When he came, he also asked someone to find out. The villagers in Xiasha Village on Dandan Island were quite friendly, but since he came.
He found out that that was not the case at all. He had been here for more than ten days, and no one from the village committee, let alone the villagers, invited him to have a meal or seafood.
If the work goes well, he can bite the bullet and forget it, but he came to the island just to be angry.
He also knew very well that it was all related to Li Duoyu. Previously, the village party secretary was just a decoration. After he came, everyone seemed to dislike him and even deliberately alienated him.
In all the days he has been on the island, this is the first time he has seen someone take the initiative to say that he hates Li Duoyu.
This made him a little curious.
“Comrade Zhang San, why do you hate Director Li Duoyu?”
Li Duoyu snorted: "What other reason could there be for him to be unhappy? It's because you don't understand. This guy has only gotten better in the past two years. Who in the village didn't hate him before.
He stole chickens and dogs, blew up water tanks, and wore an afro. He often teased decent women at the dock. He was obviously just a street kid, but he had some bad luck. Not only did he marry a beautiful wife, but he also became the richest man in the village. "
The young comrade said: "But the people in the village respect him very much. As far as I know, after he became the village director, everyone made money and their lives became better."
Li Duoyu was a little surprised and found that this young man was quite interesting and could actually speak for him.
“That’s because you, an outsider, don’t understand. In the past, the Wang family in our village was the most powerful. Now that the Wang family has fallen, the Li family has the final say in the village. They can do whatever they say. Who dares to say that their family is not good?
If it weren't for the relatives of Li Duoyu at the aquatic research institute, did he look like his Hang Erlang, can he keep a clear kelp and eel? "
“However, this Li Duoyu is still quite powerful. It is said that his brother-in-law Chen Dongqing’s skills are not as good as his, and I don’t know where he learned it.
Those who followed him in kelp farming and fishing did indeed make money. "
The young comrade frowned, but accidentally, the bottle of wine in his hand was taken away by the other party.
The other party bit his mouth and bit open the bottle cap, leaving him quite speechless. Why is this person so shameless?
After taking two sips, Li Duoyu took a bite of the dried fish with a look of disgust on his face: "This dried fish is so **** unpalatable."
“By the way, I’ve been chatting with you for so long and I haven’t even asked you what your name is.”
The young comrade replied: "Chen Jianghe?"
Li Duoyu said: "You have a good name. There are rivers and rivers, and there is a lot of water. It is destined to be our Dandan Island. It seems that you are very suitable to live on our island."
Chen Jianghe sighed and suddenly said: "Li Duoyu, Director Li."
Li Duoyu chuckled and said, "You call me."
Chen Jianghe was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Damn, I feel like you look familiar. It is indeed you."
“When was it discovered?”
Chen Jianghe said: "The acting is so poor. How can anyone scold and praise it at the same time?"
“But what I said is all true.”
The two people looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Li Duoyu said bluntly: "We are all young people. Let's talk openly about how Zhang Xianxian wants you to be the village party secretary and how he plans to punish me."
Chen Jianghe rolled his eyes and said: "It's enough to punish me, but I still punish you. Now I wish the organization would transfer me back as soon as possible."
“You just arrived, why are you in such a hurry to leave?”
“If I don’t leave, I will starve to death here. Things are so expensive and the tickets cannot be used. When I come to your island, I can’t even afford seafood.”
"Then you eat less seafood, and just eat pickles, salted olives, and salted fish. You'll save money. And don't eat expensive seafood. Eat rat fish, trash fish, and Balang is very bad." Cheap."
“You all use it to feed the chickens and ducks, and if I buy it back to eat, wouldn’t it make me, the village party secretary, very shameless?”
“How much is face worth?”
Chen Jianghe struggled for a while and suddenly said with a smile: "Director Li, can you lend me some?" Li Duoyu looked shocked: "We just met, and you asked me to borrow money. Are we that familiar? You Where’s your face?”
Chen Jianghe sighed with emotion: "Life is connected at the end. Don't let us separate in the middle. You are more shameless than me. You drank a bottle of beer from me when we first met."
This was the first time that Li Duoyu encountered someone who borrowed money and had to write ancient prose, and he still didn't understand what this sentence meant.
“Don’t be too polite with me. I’m good at everything. I just have one problem. I don’t lend money to people I don’t know.”
“We are all drinking brothers, why don’t we know each other? From now on, we will still be work partners, and we will have many opportunities to interact and cooperate.”
It was the first time that Li Duoyu had seen someone with such a thick skin and such straightforward borrowing skills. He suddenly remembered that last year, the cousin from the next village came to their house and wanted to borrow money.
After dilly-dallying for a whole day, I finally said what I wanted to say about borrowing money. Unlike Chen Jianghe, who borrowed money much more generously.
But Li Duoyu still refused: "It's impossible to borrow money. If you want to eat seafood, I can treat you to it."
“Will you treat me to seafood every day?”
“Go away, you eat seafood every day. You are really not afraid of leg pain, foot pain, and gout. We seaside people don’t dare to eat seafood every day.”
Chen Jianghe said: "I'm afraid of a hammer for gout. I'm just afraid that I'll have nothing to eat and I'll be hungry."
Li Duoyu was stunned. He thought someone would come to cause trouble, but why did a foodie come? That Zhang Xinjin has really bad eyesight at people.
However, there is nothing wrong with what Party Secretary Chen said. It has only been in the past few years that the country's life has begun to get better. Push forward a few years and everyone is still living a tight life.
After a brief understanding, Li Duoyu learned that Chen Jianghe was actually from Digua County next door. He grew up eating sweet potatoes when he was a child.
Li Duoyu sighed. Everyone who doesn't have gout has a very hard mouth. But if you really have gout, your face will definitely change after smelling it.
Chen Jianghe said: "Director Li, I just listened to your broadcast. It seems that some prawns are being collected. Why are the prawns so expensive? They only cost 50 cents each. Isn't it delicious?"
Li Duoyu looked disgusted. This guy really talked about eating all the time. It didn’t matter whether he was reincarnated as a starving ghost in his previous life.
“The bigger the shrimp, the better it is. Just like the largest monodon shrimp, the shrimp meat is very woody and the fishy smell is very strong.”
“Then why do you still want to buy prawns?”
Li Duoyu suddenly said: "If you want to know why, give me five thousand yuan and I will tell you the reason."
"Five thousand yuan, you are crazy about money. If you weigh me and sell me, it won't even be worth five thousand yuan."
"I've thought too much about you. For someone as skinny as you, if you weigh and sell it, it will only cost you a hundred yuan to survive."
"Grass."
Chen Jianghe drank down the beer in his hand, and then said: "These days, I have been wandering around the village every day, and I am bored to death. Is there anything I need to do?"
Li Duoyu thought for a moment: "That's right. Since you are the village party secretary, you can't just accept the money given to you by the organization and not work. Let's do this. All the chores in the village will be left to you."
Chen Jianghe frowned and said, "What about the big event?"
Li Duoyu said disgustedly: "Do you think you have the final say in major events in this village?"
“Then who has the final say?”
Li Duoyu said: "Let me tell you, I don't even have to say anything about big things. It's up to Mazu to have the final say."
"superstitious."
Li Duoyu quickly said: "Don't say this when you are getting along with fishermen, otherwise you will be put in a sack in the middle of the night."
“Grass, the folk customs are so tough.”
"What do you think?"
Li Duoyu continued: "Since we want to do things in Hainan so much, let's have a simple division of labor. As the village party secretary, you will be responsible for resolving internal conflicts, while I will be responsible for the outside world and focus on the island's economy."
Chen Jianghe frowned. Although Li Duoyu was right, this statement about focusing on the inside and the outside made him a little uncomfortable.
Li Duoyu continued: "Also, we have quite a lot of things going on in Xiasha Village. The most important thing now is to solve the problem of the teaching building of Dandan Island Primary School. It was originally promised that funds would be allocated, but due to some strange reasons It's been suspended.
Zhi Shu Chen, you happen to be from the county, so you helped us run around to find out what the reason was. Suddenly the funding was suspended. "
But compared to doing nothing, it’s better to find something to do. That’s the way to say it, it feels a bit strange.
“I can help you with this matter, but we need to agree first, who should I reimburse for travel expenses, accommodation expenses, and food expenses?”
Li Duoyu's mouth twitched, why does this guy keep talking about money: "Well, in my opinion, I will find a time to organize a village committee meeting."
Chen Jianghe coughed twice: "Director Li, what you said is a little wrong. Is it a violation of organizational rules?"
After his reminder, Li Duoyu finally remembered: "Well, Comrade Chen, find a time to organize a village committee meeting, and we will discuss the specific division of labor of our village committee team."
“No problem, Director Li.”
Li Duoyu briefly chatted with Chen Jianghe for a while, and then realized that he didn't have much to do with Zhang Xianxian.
When Chen Jianghe learned that Zhang Xianxian was likely to be transferred away, his eyes widened: "If he leaves, who will transfer me back?"
Li Duoyu looked disgusted: "Why are we in such a hurry? Our Dandan Island is not good enough?"
Chen Jianghe had a sad face.
“I also have a life plan, and the person I like is still in the county.”
When Li Duoyu returned home, he found Sister Shuihua and her brother-in-law waiting for him at home.
As soon as we met, Sister Shuihua asked: "Duoyu, I have something to ask you. Your brother-in-law and I have found two stores, and now we can't make up our minds. I want to ask you which store is better."
Li Duoyu smiled and said, "You have to ask me how to find a store."
"You know better. Now everyone has said that it is right to ask you about making money."
“Where’s the store?”
“There is one at the dock, just fifty meters away from the dock. It is the old house of the old Zeng family. The annual rent is one hundred and fifty.”
“There is one who is close to the school. It is cheaper there and only costs us fifty yuan a year.”
Li Duoyu thought for a while and said, "I suggest you don't rush to rent a store first, but use your own house to make the transition."
Li Shuihua asked curiously: "Why? Isn't it a place with many people?"
Li Duoyu explained: "If you really want to open a store, I suggest you wait until the new wharf is built and then open a store there in the future."
“It’s useful to open a store next to the new dock. There shouldn’t be many people buying it.”
Li Duoyu smiled and said nothing: "Sister, believe me, there will definitely be more people living there than here at the dock in the future." (End of Chapter)
