Li Duoyu and Shitou took a few sips of wine and then started to dislike it: "There's not even a peanut, why are you drinking? It's boring to drink it dry."

  Shitou smiled bitterly. He just wanted to get drunk, so he didn't think about what to drink with.

Li Duoyu was too lazy to persuade others. In fact, Lin Shanshan's matter was very difficult to deal with. They were all neighbors who looked up but never looked down.

To be more realistic, if Lin Shanshan wants to live a peaceful life, she can only leave this island after learning from her previous life.

 Otherwise, with that child around, even if Xiao Weidong divorced her, he would definitely be a dog-skin plaster that would be difficult for her to get rid of for the rest of her life.

There are countless sufferings in the world, but Shitou chose the most difficult one.

Although Shi Shitou is quite a bitch, at least one thing is good, that is, both of them are very good. Lin Shanshan is a very good woman, but she was unlucky and married the wrong person.

At this moment, the sound of "Tong, Tong, Tong" diesel engines came from the sea, and seven or eight fishing boats returned to the island one after another.

 Among these fishing boats, there was the fishing boat that Li Duoyu had just rented out today. Unexpectedly, these people immediately went out to sea to fish as soon as they got the boat.

 Most fishing boats still catch small pipes.

Although the price is a bit worse this year, fishermen are not all fools. If they can’t sell fresh food at a high price, they might as well just stock up and sell dry goods.

During this period, after everyone caught the small tubes, they all made them into dried small tubes.

Watching them make small tubes, Li Duoyu really didn’t expect that small tubes could be made into this kind of thing.

 Because in his subconscious mind, the supply of small tubes has always been in short supply. If this thing is not eaten fresh, it is already a waste. If it is made into dried food, it will be even more wasteful.

 At this time, each of the small tubes is very fat, which can be said to be the most delicious. Most of them have babies, so they are not easy to dry.

 In the previous life, I had dried oysters with my children, but the drying method was the same as the "semi-dried oysters" that Li Duoyu made before.

 It still needs to be stored in the refrigerator for quick freezing, otherwise it will quickly become moldy and go bad, which is not suitable for this era.

 So if you want to dry the small tubes, you must remove the internal organs and stems and then dry them in the sun.

 But there is a big problem with this approach. The small tube is originally very small, and the locals also call it a mouthful of tube. It is really too light after removing the internal organs and tail.

 The dry-to-wet ratio before and after drying may not even be ten to one, so in the previous life, no fishermen would turn small tubes into dry goods unless absolutely necessary.

As for the many Xiaoganggan sold on the Internet, as long as the price is not enough, most likely they are not local Xiaoganggan, but may be "Li Gui" from other places.

some days ago.

Li Duoyu also discussed with Factory Manager Liu and asked him to work on the small tubes in one line. However, when he heard about the small tubes, the other party directly declined.

He also said that their processing plant has always had a production line for making dried squid.

 The main products processed are cuttlefish, squid and soft silk. Although these three are not the same species, they have a common characteristic.

 That is, they are relatively large and have a high meat yield rate. Especially cuttlefish and soft silk fish have the best economic benefits and are also very suitable for export.

According to Factory Director Liu, if you work as a small supervisor, you will not have to worry about butchering, and you will not be able to roast a pound of meat even if you roast it for half a day. He, the boss, will not dislike it, and so will the employees.

 So after the fishermen on Dandan Island catch the small tubes, they can only hand them over to a small workshop like their home and dry them into small tubes alone.

 Although the profit after drying is not very high, just like squid, it can only be sold for a few yuan per pound, but if the quantity is large, you can still make a lot of money.

 As soon as these fishing boats docked.

 Immediately, villagers came over pushing carts and transported baskets of small tubes from the fishing boats to their homes.

Going out to sea tonight, the Zhao brothers' fishing boat had three baskets of small tubes. As soon as it reached the shore, it was immediately taken away by his parents on a cart.

The best delivery this time was from the fishing boats Li Duoyu just rented out today. They all had five or six baskets of small tubes. The Zhao brothers were envious and wished they could replace their own sampans. A new type of iron boat.

Zhao Xiaoliu said with a smile on his face: "Brother Hai, Brother Niu, my harvest today is not bad."

Zhao Dahai glanced at it with disdain: "You are so proud of me. If I had such a big boat, I would start with at least ten baskets of small tubes."

Zhao Xiaoliu said: "Then I will work hard tomorrow and try to catch ten baskets of small tubes."

Zhao Erniu snorted: "You guys are still wearing it. If you hadn't worshiped the same ancestor as us, I would have treated you to a few sips of salt water when we got to the sea."

Zhao Xiaoliu smiled: "I've already called you brother, don't do this."

Li Duoyu glanced at the Zhao brothers. During this period, the two brothers were really working hard. They caught mud crab fry for him during the day and continued to catch small tubes at night.

Li Duoyu was really worried about whether they would die suddenly. He remembered that Zhao Dahai had said the last time he had a drink that the two brothers planned to have a big game this year.

 I will invest all the money I earn in kelp farming, and plan to directly build a hundred acres of kelp.

Thinking of this, Li Duoyu couldn't help but sigh. It was quite courageous. Unfortunately, there will be a charge for kelp seedlings this year, and he will definitely not make as much as the previous two years.

 And not all of the fishing boats rented out by Li Duoyu were used to catch small pipes.

These fishing boats are all equipped with net hoisting machines, which are more suitable for lowering sticky nets and ground cages, said Wu Xiaoguang, who has been helping the boat boss with chores all year round.

 He did not go fishing for small tubes tonight. There were many brand new sticky nets on the boat. He should have bought them directly from Lao Chen today.

 But no one saw any fish on his boat, and other fishermen couldn't help but ask: "Xiaoguang, you don't know how to hunt turtles tonight?"

 “No, I put them all in the fish hold.”

 “Look, what kind of fish have been caught?”

Wu Xiaoguang opened the fish cabin and saw the fish inside. He was immediately envious of these small fishing tubes.

“They are all rice fish. You have stabbed the rice fish nest.”

“The smallest one weighs five or six kilograms. Damn it, this one weighs more than ten kilograms. If you add them all up, there must be at least thirty.”

Fishmonger Lao Mi smiled even more happily. He hadn’t come across such a good deal for a long time. Recently, he couldn’t make any money by collecting small tubes, but with this kind of rice fish, he could definitely make a fortune.

"Xiaoguang, no matter how big or small these rice fish are, they weigh one pound or two hair. I will collect them all for you."

After hearing this quotation, several boat bosses scolded on the spot: "Old Mi, you are a profiteer. The price of rice fish has already increased, okay? You are still collecting fish at the price two years ago. Xiaoguang listens to us, this fish Don’t sell it to him if you don’t get three cents per pound.”

Old man Mi angrily scolded: "You who catch small pipes and don't catch fish, can you please stop making trouble?"

The ship bosses ignored him and said firmly: "Believe us, if you ask for Sanmao, Laomi will also buy it."

 “Your uncle’s.”

They were really right. Even if Wu Xiaoguang offered Sanmao, he would still buy it. Now that Rongcheng has been upgraded to a farmer's market, there is one less middleman to make the difference, so if Sanmao buys it, he can still make a little profit. of.

However, Wu Xiaoguang was not in a hurry to sell the fish. Instead, he brought the largest rice fish and came to Li Duoyu.

“Director Li, you’re still up so late, I’ll give you this fish.”

Li Duoyu originally wanted to refuse, but seeing that the rice fish in Wu Xiaoguang’s hand was good, he was not polite.

"Just this once, don't give it to me next time, otherwise I will have to pay." Seeing this scene, the Zhao brothers looked at Zhao Xiaoliu and said, "I want to learn from Xiaoguang, this is called What? The kindness of leaking water should be repaid with hot springs."

There were several fishermen nearby who had read books. After hearing this sentence, the corners of their mouths couldn't help but twitch.

 “Well done, don’t talk about it next time.”

Wu Xiaoguang scratched his head, and then asked: "Director Li, can I ask you something? How to take the waterway from our island to Rongcheng."

When Old Man Mi heard this, he became nervous on the spot. Wu Xiaoguang did not intend to sell the fish to him, but planned to sail to Rongcheng to sell it himself.

“Duoyu, don’t break the rules. You have to tell everyone about the waterways. How can I do business in the future?”

Several fishermen said quickly: "There is a bad rule. We grew up on Dandan Island, so why haven't we heard of it?"

 Old man Mi said with a dark face: "That's because you don't know how to do it."

 In fact, all the fishermen on Dandan Island were very interested in what Wu Xiaoguang asked, and they all joined in.

“Duoyu, you are the most familiar with the nearby waters on our island. Can you find a time to tell us about it?”

Seeing so many people gathered around, Li Duoyu realized that there were only a few fishermen in the village who could sail their boats to Rongcheng.

 In this age without navigation, when people go out to sea to fish, they actually don’t dare to go too far from the shore.

 Because it is easy to get lost in the sea once you lose your reference point, most fishermen dare not go to the open sea.

Especially when fishing at night, you should always pay attention to the lighthouse. Once you find that the light of the lighthouse has dimmed.

They knew that they were too far away from the island and had to drive back quickly. If they got lost in the dark night, they happened to be unable to see the North Star.

 That is very dangerous for fishermen, especially the fishermen in Rongcheng and Ludao.

 Because if you are not careful, it is very possible to "cross the border" and enter the waters under the jurisdiction of the overseas provinces.

If you are lucky, the ship will be seized and beaten. If you are unlucky, you will most likely be regarded as a spy, and you may not be able to come back.

 Li Duoyu also thinks that Wu Xiaoguang is right. Now that there are more and more fishing boats on Dandan Island, it is indeed necessary to tell everyone the basic situation of the nearby waters.

Li Duoyu said: "Well, when the time comes, I will ask the Fisheries Bureau for some detailed charts. When the time comes, I will hold a special class for you to come and listen together. I will directly tell you the situation in the nearby sea areas."

 “Thank you very much.”

“It was really great to choose you as the village director. To be honest, we don’t know how to thank you. Otherwise, we would all give you some small jobs.”

 “It’s really not necessary”

Hearing that Li Duoyu really planned to tell everyone, Old Man Mi suddenly became unhappy and murmured: "You are the village director, why are you always going against me?"

 He didn’t wait for Li Duoyu to reply to him.

Immediately, some fishermen said: "Old Mi, you need to open up the situation. Director Li represents the common interests of the whole village. It is impossible to give up everyone's interests because of you. To be honest, you are quite old. Just close the stall and go back to take care of the kids.”

“Screw you, uncle, who do you think is older? I’m only over sixty, and I can still work for another ten or twenty years.”

At this moment, some fishermen also asked: "Director Li, you are so familiar with Dongjia Reef, can you also tell us about it?"

Speaking of Dongjia Reef, Li Duoyu frowned: "It's best not to go there. I don't want to go rescue people in the middle of the night."

After hearing this, the Zhao brothers finally breathed a sigh of relief. If Li Duoyu had also told about Dongjia Reef, the two brothers would have lost a good place to make money.

 After Li Duoyu finished chatting with everyone, he carried a killed rice fish. The head of this fish is very suitable for braised.

Fish body, fried or steamed can be used, but the most valuable thing is its swim bladder.

This thing is for women to nourish yin, and for men to nourish yang. Just these days, Li Duoyu always feels a little weak, and it is really necessary to take a good supplement.

 In the past, if you caught a big fish in the middle of the night, you would either braise it overnight and make soup, or put it on salt and start drying it. If it was too big to eat, you would have to give some to neighbors and relatives.

 But now that there is a freezer, it is different. Li Duoyu cuts the rice fish into several pieces and throws them directly into the freezer. He can cook as much as he wants without giving it away.

But when Li Duoyu arrived at the eel factory, he found that Chen Wenchao was also here. He was shining a flashlight on the cement pools.

Recently, the Zhao brothers brought in a lot of green crab seedlings. Chen Wenchao followed his instructions and sorted the green crab seedlings according to size.

 At the same time, these blue crabs were given a simple medicinal bath to disinfect and sterilize, and the dead ones were picked out at the same time.

 “Xiaochao, why are you still not asleep at this time?”

Chen Wenchao grinned and said: "I got used to going to bed late some time ago, but now I can't sleep. It just so happens that Brother Yao Guo is not in the factory these days, so I will come over to help look after him for a few days."

“You have only been married for a few years, and you often don’t go back to sleep. I am not afraid that Xiaolan will have any objections and ask you to pay the public salary.”

Chen Wenchao scratched his head and said hesitantly: "Xiaolan has been vomiting recently. My grandma said it seems to be happening again. Now she won't let me sleep with Xiaolan. She wishes I could sleep outside again."

 “Ah~”

Li Duoyu's eyes widened. What day is it today? There are really a lot of things to do in this day.

But it makes sense to think about it. For a young man like Chen Wenchao who is alone and whose parents are not around, his grandma is probably the one who urges him every day.

Li Duoyu gave a thumbs up: "Awesome, the efficiency is pretty good."

Li Duoyu wanted to eat this rice fish by himself, but when he heard that Xiaolan had it again, he simply said: "Take it back and give it to your wife."

 “Brother Yu, you really don’t need it.”

Li Duoyu said angrily: "Momojiji, I didn't buy this fish with money, it was given to me by someone else. Take it quickly."

"Oh well."

After leaving, Li Duoyu suddenly asked: "Do you know who set the fire tonight?"

 Chen Wenchao was stunned for a moment:

“Maybe they were the first group of people to play with stones. They have a very close relationship.”

"okay, I get it."

Li Duoyu just asked. After all, he is the village director. Anyone who can do such a thing must pay close attention to it.

 When Li Duoyu returned home.

It was already past one o'clock in the morning. After tiptoeing into the room, she found Xiaoying asleep holding little Tutu in her arms.

Li Duoyu also gently hugged his wife from behind and started to sleep, and the three of them were in the same position.
