Chapter 592: Unexpected Incidents (1/2)
After the shrimp fry is put into the pond.
It will take about four or five months to raise them, and they can be shipped around the New Year's Eve.
That will be the best time for the price. Li Duoyu estimates that the price of the shrimp will be around four yuan.
At that time, if conditions permit, he can sell a batch of live shrimps in Rongcheng market.
Speaking of which, Rongcheng is also a coastal city, but before he raises them, most of the shrimps are dead after being caught and sent to Rongcheng.
If it is not quick-frozen, the taste difference between live shrimps and dead shrimps is very large. Live shrimps are chewy and sweet, while dead shrimps have a powdery taste. If the shrimps have not defecated completely, there is a fishy smell.
At that time, when his batch of live shrimps arrives, Li Duoyu can imagine the scene of everyone scrambling to grab the shrimps.
…
After finishing the shrimp farm, it was soon the season for catching calamari. This time, the sea area of Dinghai Bay was quite lively.
Looking around, there are fishing boats everywhere, not only from Dandan Island, but also from Xiaocheng Town and nearby Xigong Town.
Fisherman Lao Lu sighed while smoking a cigarette, "There are more boats than fish, what's the point of fishing?"
An informed fisherman replied, "I heard that it seems that the fishermen in Xiaocheng Town have discussed with Director Li, saying that as long as they also buy their anchovies, they will let our Dandan Island fishing boats come to fish."
"They are threatening us, why are we afraid of them? As long as we are at sea, our island really doesn't fear anyone."
This is indeed the truth. At sea, it's not about who is closer to the sea, but who has the bigger and more fishing boats.
As long as there are few boats in your village, even if someone else's entire fleet goes to your village's waters to fish, they probably won't dare to fart.
When four or five boats are surrounded by dozens of others, you will know what it means to be frustrated and to bully the few with the many.
In fact, compared with the ten thousand yuan households, the coastal fishermen often judge whether a fishing village is rich by how many boats they have in their village.
This is one of the reasons why coastal fishermen want to buy fishing boats so much. Not only can they go out to sea to make money, but they can also give face to their village chief.
But even if Dandan Island wants to fight this time, it can't. Last year, because of the shooting on Dandan Island, I don't know how many letters of complaint were written.
This year, the county was worried that they would have a conflict, so during the season of fishing for anchovies, a patrol boat was specially sent here.
The loudspeaker kept shouting: "Whoever makes trouble will be arrested, and whoever starts first will be sentenced first."
Dinghai Bay is not big, and anchovies are only in those specific areas. As a result, there are too many boats fishing for anchovies.
There are too many monks and too little meat. In the end, many fishermen on Dandan Island felt that it was not cost-effective and moved to the waters near the neighboring island county.
Although the anchovies there are not as good as those here, at least they don't have to be robbed like this.
Li Duoyu only followed up on the acquisition of clove fish for a few days, and then entrusted the matter to Chen Wenchao and Shitou, which was also an opportunity for them to grow.
He prepared for his second brother to go to Quanzhou to buy a set of high-power cordless phones, so that Qixing Bay and Dandan Island would not be so troublesome to communicate, and they could contact each other as soon as possible if there was any situation.
However, before going to Quanzhou, Li Duoyu had something to deal with first.
That was to take over a factory first. Haixin Group had compensated him with the eel factory before, but he had not taken it over because he was very busy during this period.
A few days ago, Li Duoyu also heard some bad news and planned to go and see what the current situation of his eel factory was.
Anyway, Li Duoyu didn't believe that Haixin Group would be so willing to compensate him with the eel factory, and he also wanted to see what kind of moths it had left for him.
Nanri Town is not far from Dandan Island. It takes about an hour for ordinary fishing boats to get there, and it takes about half an hour for Li Duoyu's fishing boat.
Speaking of which, Nanri Town is not far away, but the fishermen of Dandan Island rarely interact with people here. Except for some relatives, there is almost no communication with others.
Of course, it may have something to do with faith. The people of Dandan Island believe in Mazu, while they believe in Guandijun.
As for why they believe more, Li Duoyu thinks that it is related to the fact that people there love gambling. At the beginning, Xiao Weidong especially liked to go to Nanri Town to gamble, and ended up losing all his family assets.
Li Duoyu used to love playing, but he was absolutely not involved in gambling, so he was not very familiar with Nanri Town, so he called Liu Yun for this trip.
After all, if you don’t find a local to support you when you go to see a factory, you might really be put in a sack.
Li Duoyu’s fishing boat drove for less than 20 minutes from Nanri Town to the nearby sea area, which is a relatively flat peninsula.
Because Li Duoyu's fishing boat is so conspicuous, many people in their area may not know him, but they definitely know that this imported fishing boat is his.
If the fishing boat is parked directly at the dock near the Haixin Eel Factory, it would be equivalent to telling the other party: I, Li Duoyu, have come to take over the factory.
Li Duoyu thought about it briefly and finally chose to park the boat in Xiagang Village, Liu Yun's hometown.
This village is a little far from the Haixin Eel Factory. After about ten minutes, Li Duoyu's fishing boat slowly arrived at the dock of Xiagang Village under the guidance of Liu Yun.
Before the boat even approached, Li Duoyu smelled a strong fishy smell.
Looking around, the tidal flats in Xiagang Village are particularly large. It feels like everything you can see is tidal flats, at least seven or eight times larger than Dandan Island. The tidal flats are densely packed with cement piles for raising oysters. No wonder the smell is so strong.
This superior geographical environment is a typical gift from God, just like what Liu Yun said.
Seven out of ten men in their town gamble, so even if they can make money, they can't save it.
When the fishing boat approached.
Li Duoyu also found that many fishermen were driving bamboo piles on the tidal flats after the tide receded, and not far away, some people also started oyster racks.
It seems that this typhoon has a great impact on their village. Li Duoyu remembers that a long time ago, when he started to raise oysters by hanging, the farmers in Xiagang Village were very disdainful and said that his hanging method was a waste of money. He didn't expect the boomerang to hit back so quickly.
Li Duoyu's fishing boat had just arrived near the pier and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
After all, Xiagang Village is all about oyster farming, and few people buy big fishing boats. They all buy small sampans and hollow iron boats.
In addition, oysters are no different from stones, so the paint on each boat is badly damaged.
As a result, each boat looks tattered, and Li Duoyu's fishing boat, which has just docked, stands out from the crowd.
Because their village has organized some oyster farmers to visit and learn on Dandan Island during this period.
Some people are familiar with Li Duoyu, and they recognized him just after they parked the boat.
"Isn't this Li Duoyu's boat? How come he has time to come to our village?"
In this era, coastal fishermen generally have an extremely annoying problem, that is, the dock is too shallow.
Li Duoyu's fishing boat is not big, but not small. It can't dock at all at low tide. It can only be more than ten meters away from the dock and has to be picked up by a small boat.
At this time, Liu Yun played a role. He waved to the people at the dock and said, "Uncle, get a boat to pick us up."
A shirtless, thin old man who was jumping oysters looked at him and snorted coldly:
"Oh, you little traitor still know that there is a home here."
When some children on the dock saw Liu Yun, they also shouted, "Big traitor." Liu Yun opened his mouth wide. He took the boat to the next island to develop. How could he become a traitor?
"Uncle, you can't say that. What is a traitor? If it weren't for me, Director Li would not teach you how to raise oysters."
The old man looked at him with disdain, but still rowed a small boat to take them to the dock.
A villager who had been to Xiasha Village with several oyster farmers in the village asked with a grin after seeing Li Duoyu:
"Director Li, how come you have time to come to our Xiagang Village? Are you here to guide our work?"
Li Duoyu waved his hand and replied: "No, no, I just came to do something."
"Would you like to have tea at my house?"
"You're welcome, really no need."
Li Duoyu really wanted to keep a low profile, but he was too famous. Now he finally experienced the suffering of being a celebrity.
Fortunately, Xiagang Village is still some distance away from Haixin's eel factory, so the news would not spread there so quickly.
Otherwise, it would be a waste of time to go so far. Li Duoyu did not plan to reveal his identity when he went to the eel factory this time.
According to his idea, if the eel factory was really occupied, he would pretend to be an outsider to find out the truth.
But as soon as he got ashore, Li Yaoguo frowned and waved his hands to drive away flies.
The dock of their village was indeed a bit horrible. There were piles of oyster shells everywhere. It felt like they were piled up into small hills. Behind each hill, there were one or two women prying oysters.
When there were a lot of oysters, flies were inevitable. There were buzzing sounds everywhere. The density was really amazing.
They had only stood there for a while when many flies landed on them. These flies seemed to be not afraid of people. Some of them landed directly on their hair.
But the locals had long been accustomed to flies. Even if there were flies crawling on their faces, they were too lazy to drive them away for a while.
No wonder Chen Yuansu said that he was unwilling to cooperate with Xiagang Village. Li Duoyu could already imagine the embarrassed look of Chen Yuansu after he came to the island.
And she especially liked to spray perfume when she went out. Just thinking about the scene of her stepping onto the dock of Xiagang Village, Li Duoyu couldn't help laughing.
In addition to oyster shells, various fish scraps were also thrown into the sea at will. It was probably a feeling that since I was already so dirty, it didn't matter a little bit.
Li Duoyu also felt that the dock of Xiagang Village was too dirty, but he thought about it and felt that it was not right. It seemed that this was the current situation of coastal fishing villages.
A clean village like Xiasha Village was an outlier. There were not many fishing villages as clean as this one along the coast.
Just then, the sound of a diesel engine starting came from the dock.
As a burst of black smoke came out, Liu Yun hurriedly ran towards the tractor full of oysters and shouted, "Uncle Mo, wait, are you going to the town?"
The middle-aged man driving the tractor refused directly on the spot: "I don't pick up people."
The reason why he didn't pick up people was well known to everyone. Two years ago, he helped to take people to the town, but the child was naughty and fell off the back of the car and was directly smashed.
The child's parents insisted that it was because he drove too fast. Finally, under the coordination of the village committee, Mo Kaifa paid 5,000 yuan to let the matter go.
After that, he stopped taking people.
Liu Yun naturally knew that Uncle Mo didn't want to take people, but it would take at least two hours to walk to the eel factory.
"Director Li from Xiasha Village, Dandan Island, please do us a favor and drop us off near the eel factory in our town."
The middle-aged man hesitated for a while.
"Just this time, don't call me next time, and be sure to sit well, I can still sit two more people in front."
Liu Yun smiled and said, "Then I'll stand in the back."
"Sit tight, don't play around in the back, if you fall off, I won't care."
"I'm not a child, I won't move around."
After hearing this, the middle-aged man felt particularly uncomfortable. In fact, he did drive a little fast that day, but how fast could the tractor be? Unexpectedly, the child fell off.
It would be fine if he fell and broke his skin, but he just died like this. It can only be said that for both parties, it was a matter of life and death!
Li Duoyu got on the tractor. The master was very focused on driving and didn't like to talk much.
The boat took less than ten minutes, but the tractor took nearly forty minutes to reach the eel factory.
When getting off the car.
Seeing that Li Duoyu wanted to pay, the master hurriedly said: "No need to pay, it's just on the way."
Li Duoyu didn't want to give him money, but took out a pack of Hongtashan and stuffed it into the pocket of his white shirt.
"Director Li, don't take it."
Without waiting for him to push it back, Li Duoyu turned around and walked away, heading towards the eel factory not far away.
After walking two steps, Li Duoyu arrived at the Haixin Eel Factory, but the five big words of the eel factory had been removed.
But there were quite a few people inside, and even a few young people, drinking beer there in broad daylight.
There were still many workers feeding the eel factory in the pond not far away. It was just like what he had heard. He hadn't come to take over for a while, and his eel factory was occupied by someone.
But the big iron gate was still locked. They couldn't get in even if they wanted to. They just checked the door for a while.
The young men who were drinking shouted angrily: "What are you looking at? This is private territory. Go away quickly. Don't let me chase you away."
After hearing this, Li Yaoguo's face was very dark, and he couldn't help cursing: "Duoyu, our factory was robbed by someone."
Liu Yun also cursed: "Brother Yu, it's too arrogant. Should we go and get someone to help?"
Li Duoyu frowned. Although he had guessed it, he was really unhappy when he found out that his factory was robbed.
Especially the young man who just shouted, he looked like he deserved a beating. If it was him in his previous life, he would definitely go back to get someone to come here to ask for an explanation. If he didn't accept it, he would just fight. Whoever has the bigger fist has the final say.
Li Duoyu really wanted to do that, but he was not a real "young man" after all, and he knew the consequences of impulsiveness.
After all, this eel factory was on someone else's territory. If the relationship with the local people was strained, it would be useless.
Li Duoyu was not in a hurry, but went to the nearby dock, found a fishmonger sitting on a small bench, and politely handed him a cigarette.
He said in Trump's words:
"Fellow countryman, we are from Sichuan, and I would like to ask if there is a Haixin eel factory here?" (End of this chapter)
