Vol 3 Chapter 528: Some are happy and some are sad

 Until you enter this circle.

Li Duoyu finally understood that what he hated was not the related households, but the fact that he was not a related household.

 As long as you have a relationship, it is really convenient to do things, and there are no villains to hold you back.

  I remember that in the past, when I had not started a relationship, if I went to report a case, the young comrade at the door would be disgusted with you for a while.

 In fact, in this era, it is more common to find it difficult to get in, have an ugly face, have an ugly voice, and have difficulty getting things done. If you want to get things done, you all rely on relationships.

 If you want to get along well in this era, you cannot compare it with the concepts of your previous life. If you feel that you have been reborn, you can do things without following the rules.

The result is 100% that you will be in trouble, and you will have no place to use your skills.

 In the days after the typhoon, many fishermen went out to sea to fish, and the catch was quite good.

 As long as there are fish, there is almost a whole boat, and there are also more lobsters that are rarely caught.

The Zhao brothers caught a big bass slide at Xijia Reef, which was similar to what Li Duoyu caught back then.

But now the price is much higher. The two brothers sold the big bass slide for nearly one hundred and fifty.

Those villagers who do not have fishing boats have been actively participating in post-disaster reconstruction in recent days. Most of the collapsed houses have been rebuilt.

 Some repaired it themselves, while others hired help. As for the elderly who could not afford to repair their houses.

The village committee will also provide certain help, lending them money first, and then returning it to the village committee when the economy gets better later.

On the tidal flat, all the moso bamboo piles that had been blown ashore by the typhoon were emptied out by local villagers in less than two days.

Most of them are taken back and used as firewood. Some fishermen pick up some relatively good ones and use them to make fishing rafts.

During this period, Dazhu Village transported more than a dozen boats of moso bamboo to Dandan Island, and most of them were digested by Li Duoyu.

Now on the tidal flat, moso bamboo stakes have been inserted again. This time, the moso bamboo stakes are larger, thicker, and inserted deeper.

 Lao Li led a large group of people to stick oysters at the abandoned eel factory.

Not long after, the tractor brought a whole boatload of oysters here. As before, the oyster seedlings were pried off and then cemented to the oyster seedlings.

Due to the impact of this typhoon, many farmers from Nanri Town came to Dandan Island to learn from it.

 After this painful lesson, these oyster farmers decided to give up using cement pillars to raise oysters, and also planned to imitate Li Duoyu’s method of raising oysters using rope hangings.

 Although Director Li said that you can just watch and learn at will, they are too embarrassed to really learn for free.

It happened that Li Duoyu's oyster field was unpacking oyster seedlings, and more than thirty oyster farmers from Nanri Town came to help.

With their help, Li Duoyu also saved a lot of labor costs. There are only a few who need to pay wages, and Zhu Xiuhua is one of them. Although she is not an employee of Minlong now.

 But for those outsourcing jobs, she almost always had a share. In the month when she collected kelp, she received hundreds of yuan in wages.

 According to her words, she is a little tired, but her earnings are no less than those in Haixin. The most important thing is that she doesn’t have to suffer.

She has already become very skilled at prying oyster seedlings. If she is in good condition, one person can pry two tractor-trailer oyster seedlings a day.

  In just half a month, you can earn at least 70 or 80 yuan.

Seeing how quickly she pried it off, Lao Li couldn't help but frown and said, "Pry it carefully, don't waste the oyster seedlings."

 Perhaps because Haixin was often scolded, Zhu Xiuhua stopped contradicting Lao Li when he talked about her.

 “Okay dad, let me check again.”

Seeing that his daughter-in-law's attitude has become so good, Lao Li is a little uncomfortable and even a little unable to react. This should be the second person in their family to change their temper.

On the third day after Li Duoyu met Chen Yuanyu, a transport ship more than thirty meters long arrived at the new dock.

Xinyuan Aquatic Products Company came to Dandan Island to collect kelp. Taking advantage of the good weather, everyone pulled carts and transported a carload of kelp to the new wharf.

 When everyone learned that Director Li had signed an agreement with the other party, and the purchase price of kelp this year would still be the same as last year, everyone was happy.

Especially those farmers who soaked kelp in water were so moved that they almost cried, and almost hugged Li Duoyu’s face and kissed him.

 “It’s good if someone takes the lead.”

"It depends on who takes the lead. If it were someone else, they might lead us into a pit."

 “You are talking about Shangqi Village.”

"It's good to know, don't say it. When I went to catch the fair two days ago, the people in their village looked very smelly."

But some people are worried: "Old Zeng, don't let your kelp soak in water next year. Otherwise, if you are affected this year, the purchase price of kelp may be lower next year."

 Lao Zeng was also helpless: "You think we want to soak in the water? Who would have thought that the roof of the warehouse collapsed on top of my kelp. If I had known, I would have let you put it in first."

"Hahaha."

Some families are happy and some are sad.

Since Langqi Village has not signed an agreement with Xinyuan Aquatic Products Company, the price is not that good.

 Several kelp farmers frowned and said, "Zhang Secretary, why didn't our village sign a cooperation agreement with Xinyuan Aquatic Products?"

Zhang Dongsheng frowned and sighed: "The Xinyuan Aquatic Products now is no longer the Xinyuan Aquatic Products of the past. I wanted to sign a cooperation agreement with them, but they ignored us."

 Since the annexation of Rongcheng United Distribution Company, Rongcheng Aquatic Products has almost the final say in Rongcheng Aquatic Products.

 As long as they are willing, they can even control the price of aquatic products in a short period of time.

This year, before the kelp was confiscated, Zhang Dongsheng went to Xinyuan Group, but he didn't even see Chen Yuanyu.

Last year when they were having internal struggles and acquiring Rongcheng United Distribution Company, this little girl even went to the island in person to deliver tea to him.

But less than half a year later, I was not even qualified to sit down and make tea with her. If I wanted to see her, I had to make a special appointment.

It's still that kid Li Duoyu who signed an agreement with Chen Yuanyu early. This year's dried kelp will still be charged one yuan.

One farmer said: "Secretary Zhang, the purchase price of Dandan Island is so high. Shouldn't our first-class vegetables still have to be exported? Why don't we just sell the second-class vegetables to that Li Duoyu together with the vegetables?" Zhang Dongsheng shook his head and said: " You think too much, that Li Duoyu and Chen Yuanyu wear the same pants, how could you let us take advantage of this loophole."

 “Wearing the same pants?” Everyone present widened their eyes. This is a lot of information.

Zhang Dongsheng looked at them with disgust: "For example, do you understand? Dandan Island and Xinyuan Aquatic Products are currently in the honeymoon period of cooperation. It is impossible for that Li Duoyu to help us. In my opinion, that Xinyuan The boss of the fishery industry is deliberately beating us up.”

 Speaking of which, no one else is to blame for this. When Chen Yuan Yuan was fighting with Manager An, their village did not stand firmly on Chen Yuan Yuan's side.

This is one of the reasons why he failed to sign a cooperation agreement with Xinyuan Aquatic Products after several attempts.

However, he did hear that Chen Yuanyu had a good relationship with Li Duoyu in private.

It's a pity that Li Duoyu got married early, otherwise he would have wanted to marry his daughter to him and make Langqi Village and Xiasha Village become in-laws.

Several kelp farmers sighed: "But at this price, we may make a lot less money this year."

“It’s good to make money, it’s better than rotting in the sea.” Zhang Dongsheng sighed, but compared with Qicun, it’s already good. Even if the price is not very high, everyone has at least made money this year.

When he said this, everyone couldn't help but sigh. It was indeed incomparable to Dandan Island, but it was indeed much better than Qicun.

Zhang Dongsheng asked the village accountant: "After the kelp is sold, our village will re-calculate the number of households with ten thousand yuan this year. I hope the difference will not be too big in Xiasha Village."

There was a lot of confusion here in Shangqi Village. The kelp farmers started to quarrel with the kelp collectors.

“This price is too ridiculous. There is a piece of second-grade dried kelp from Dandan Island, but when it comes to us, it only costs 40 cents. This is too big of a difference.”

The manager who collected the kelp said disgustedly: "I don't care about the quality of your kelp. Not to mention, it's all sand and tattered everywhere. Four hairs is already taking good care of you, but the best quality you have is only three hairs." ”

Several farmers insisted: "At least 50 cents, otherwise we will go to the vegetable market to sell it ourselves."

The manager sneered: "You'd better think clearly. With your quality, if you sell it yourself, we will really save a lot of trouble."

The manager was about to leave after saying this. The village party secretary of Shangqi Village quickly stopped him and tried to persuade him: "Manager Liu, those country bumpkins are not nice to talk to. Why don't you apply with the above and see if forty and a half cents is enough?" It’s really difficult for our village this year. More than half of the kelp has been confiscated, and everyone has lost a lot of money.”

Manager Liu sighed: "Party Secretary Tang, we have known about your situation for a long time. I also want to offer you a higher price, but there is really no way."

Manager Liu grabbed a piece of kelp and said: "The kelp in your village has a lot of sand. If we buy it back, we have to clean it again, and it doesn't look good. It is completely incomparable with the kelp from Dandan Island. To put it harshly, You kelp cannot be sold along our coast, so you can only sell it inland. "

 When mentioning Dandan Island, the farmers in Shangqi Village immediately exploded, and some people couldn't help but think about it.

“You idiot, why are you doing it so well? It’s hard for us to sell it.”

“Tell me, is that guy Li Duoyu having an affair with the female boss of this company? Why does he take such good care of them?”

“From now on, fishing boats from their village will not be allowed to fish in the waters near us.”

One villager sighed with emotion: "I heard that Li Duoyu rented out Qixing Bay. Now Qixing Bay belongs to them. If we want to grow kelp in the sea outside Qixing Bay in the future, maybe we can It has to be approved by Li Duoyu."

 “What the hell”

 What makes them most uncomfortable is that Dandan Island has made a lot of money again this year, while their Shangqi Village has made a big loss this year.

This year, their village also raised a lot of kelp. It was originally thought that there would be another four to five households with a income of 10,000 yuan this year. But now it is better. A typhoon has caused an additional 4 to 5 households with a income of 10,000 yuan in the village.

Seeing that Manager Liu was so tough, Tang Wenchang struggled for a while and couldn't help but smile bitterly when he looked at the kelp in the village.

The quality is indeed very bad. If you sell it yourself, you may not be able to get a good price. Maybe it will be compared with Dandan Island.

 At that time, it will be even more embarrassing. It is better to sell it to such a big company. They can transport it to the mainland together with other dry goods and sell it.

 “Okay, let’s pay according to Manager Liu’s price.”

Even after seeing the village party secretary, he couldn't convince Manager Liu. The eyes of the kelp farmers were all dim, and they didn't know if they would dare to continue raising kelp this year.

Within two days, all the kelp on Dandan Island was sold out, and the remaining first-class dishes will be exported along with the eel.

Although the eel factory was blown down, fortunately, the eels were fine and are still very healthy.

 Perhaps due to experience, eel farming this year is not as hectic as last year.

 The second brother checks the water quality of the eel pond every day. Although the eel factory is gone, a bamboo house has been rebuilt in the past few days.

 I sleep here at the eel factory every day. I don’t know why, but I am very afraid of going home.

Now, he has become sighing again, looking forward to where his second sister-in-law can go on a business trip to work.

 In addition to checking the water quality, Li Duoyu randomly selected a few lucky ones in each eel pond.

First, he checked the appearance to make sure there was no disease, then checked the gills, and then hollowed out the eel's body at a very fast speed.

This time Li Duoyu upgraded his equipment and purchased a microscope that was retired from the Fisheries Research Institute through his brother-in-law.

 Although the magnification is not very high, it is enough. Li Duoyu used this microscope specifically to see whether the eels were infected with melonworm disease.

According to his experience, eels are particularly susceptible to this parasite due to the mixing of water from outside during typhoon days or after heavy rains.

And this kind of melonworm disease is also one of the most annoying diseases for eel farmers, because there is no specific medicine. Once the disease occurs, it means more or less damage.

 Some inexperienced novice eel farmers are often caught, especially those raised in earthen ponds. If the farmers are more careless, the losses will be very considerable.

For example, last summer came early and the climate was relatively unstable. Li Duoyu fell into the trap of small melon worms. Although they were remedied in time, a quarter of the eels were still lost.

In this era when eel fry are not valuable, it is acceptable to lose one-quarter. However, in the previous life, eel fry accounted for half of the breeding cost. Losing one-quarter of the eels would be equivalent to a whole year's work in vain. If it exceeds half, , that means you will definitely lose money.

After Li Duoyu inspected them, he didn’t waste any of them. He packed up the more than thirty healthy eels with their guts eviscerated, and planned to go back and make grilled fish.

Although it will take more than a month to raise the eels before they can meet export standards, the taste is good now.

 It’s better to be big.

 Small things are wonderful.

 Eels are very delicious even when they are small. At this time, the spines are fewer and thinner, and can even be completely ignored. Even a child like Tutu can swallow them casually. (End of chapter)
