Chapter 110 Two-Color Water (3rd Update)

After listening to Chen Wenchao's story.

Li Duoyu felt that it was okay for his family to live in Liu Xiaolan's house for a day or two, after all, they were neighbors, but it would not work if they lived there for too long.

Liu Xiaolan's mother had a lot of complaints about him, and her brothers were not easy to deal with.

The last time they tried to sell their sister, they failed.

These brothers were all angry with Chen Wenchao, and they had nowhere to vent. Now that the house had collapsed, they had to live in their house.

Li Duoyu felt that the smell of gunpowder was very strong just thinking about it, and there would definitely be a lot of sarcasm.

Li Duoyu asked, "What are you going to do next?"

"Rebuild the house first?" Chen Wenchao replied.

"How much money do you have? Do you have money to build a house?"

Chen Wenchao said everything: "I have about 500 here, plus what my grandma saved."

Hearing this number, Li Duoyu instantly understood that he had not spent almost all the money he had earned in the past six months, and had saved it all.

In this era, having 500 yuan in savings is more than most people.

There are many people on Dandan Island who don't have fishing boats. A family working part-time for others may not be able to earn 500 yuan a year, let alone save 500 yuan.

Even a primary school teacher with a regular job like Zhou Xiaoying only gets a little over 400 yuan a year.

Li Duoyu thinks that Chen Wenchao loses because he has no relatives.

In this era, relatives are really important. Just like Li Duoyu's kelp farming, if there were not so many relatives to help him, he would not be able to raise it so smoothly.

However, it is not an easy thing to build a house on the island.

Although Dandan Island is full of stones, you can't use them casually if you want to.

You have to ask the brigade for approval first.

After approval, the brigade will designate you to a location.

Only then can you chisel the stone.

In this era, there are no cutting machines. The stone strips are chiseled out by stonemasons with hammers and chisels.

It is very time-consuming and labor-intensive.

It can be said that half of the money spent on the stone houses of fishermen on the seaside is spent on the stone.

The biggest craftsmanship is also on the stone. Whether a stone house looks good or not depends entirely on the skills of the stone chiseler.

If you meet a good master, the stones chiseled out are straight and look very comfortable.

If you meet a half-baked or lazy stonemason, the stones chiseled out will really drive people with obsessive-compulsive disorder to death.

And Li Duoyu has some of this problem. After returning from the island country, it became even more serious. Once he saw that there were protruding stones in other people's stone houses.

He wanted to use an angle grinder to grind it flat.

Since the opening up, many fishermen on Dandan Island have made money and want to move to a bigger house. There are only two stonemasons on their island, and they are too busy. If you want to build a house, you have to make an appointment in advance.

One is Lao Cao in Xiasha Village, who has very good skills. Most of the stone houses in Xiasha Village were built by him.

However, if you want to find Lao Cao now, you have to make an appointment at least two months in advance.

Another is Chen Daqing from Chenjia Village. He is expensive, has poor skills, and is not a very good person. If you ask him to work, you have to serve him with good cigarettes and good wine.

Li Duoyu thinks that if Chen Wenchao wants to build a house, he will probably go to Lao Cao.

In other words, if Chen Wenchao wants to rebuild the house now, it will take at least four months to build it.

"How about this, I will lend you 300 first, you can finalize the house building first, and quickly go to Lao Cao to make an appointment for the stone."

"If you plan to build a house, it won't be too embarrassing if you live in Xiaolan's house, and his mother will be more at ease."

In his previous life, Li Duoyu also borrowed money from others, but every sum was recovered.

The main reason is that he has a principle of [borrow three but not two, help in an emergency but not help the poor].

To put it simply.

It means that the other party really has no other way, or there is a high probability that he will pay you back, so you lend him money.

As for those who are poor because of laziness or gambling, no matter how good the relationship is, they will not be lent.

As for Chen Wenchao, Li Duoyu felt that his character was definitely good. He was definitely the kind of person who would pay back the money as soon as he had the money.

"No, two hundred is enough." Chen Wenchao said quickly: "It's not that fast to build a house. During this period, I will work hard to make some money, and it should be enough."

Li Duoyu roughly calculated.

In this era, to build a decent stone house, in addition to the stone materials, you have to go to the town to buy tiles and beams, plus the wages of the workers, which is about one thousand yuan.

His money is definitely not enough.

Li Duoyu sighed: "Come on, I'll take you to make some money first."

"Shouldn't we support these bamboos first?"

Li Duoyu smiled: "Why support them? Professional matters, of course, we have to find professionals to do it. We can't eat this bowl of rice."

Chen Wenchao frowned and said: "If we hire a pile driver, it will cost a lot of money."

Li Duoyu explained to Chen Wenchao seriously: "You won't count it, if you want to do everything yourself, you will only get poorer and poorer.

With our technology, it may take ten days to drive these bamboo piles, and the effect is very poor. For this kind of thing, if you find a professional team to do it, it will be done for you in two days.

If we use these ten days to do what we are good at, we will have earned back the money we spent on hiring pile drivers."

Chen Wenchao thought seriously. Although he didn't understand it very well, he felt that what Brother Yu said seemed to make sense.

But as soon as Brother Yu asked him to make money, Chen Wenchao's face instantly looked much better.

"Brother Yu, where can we make money now?"

"Go to a place with two-colored water."

"What is two-color water?"

"First follow me to get the sticky net. When you get there, you will know what two-color water is."

Li Duoyu went back and picked up several bags of sticky nets, as well as longlines.

And when they got to the dock.

In the morning after the typhoon days, those who went out to sea to fish almost all returned with a full harvest.

After the cousin Li Shuguang saw Li Duoyu, he said: "Duoyu, you came out to fish at this time. It's too late. You can't surpass me."

Li Duoyu smiled and said:

"Hey, what's the rush?"

Seeing how confident he looked, Li Shuguang couldn't help but frown, feeling that this kid was definitely going to cause trouble again.

So I shamelessly followed him.

"Damn, why are you following me?"

The cousin said with a smile: "I'm not doing anything, I just want to see where you go to catch fish so that I can learn from you."

But this time, Li Duoyu did not go to the outer sea, but went to the inland sea of ​​Rongcheng.

After driving for an hour.

Finally we arrived at the fishing spot Li Duoyu wanted.

This place is the estuary, where the river and the sea meet.

Chen Wenchao, who was standing on the boat, looked at the scene in front of him. It was just as Brother Yu said, there were really two colors of water on the sea.

One side is turbid and yellowish,

The other side is the normal sea water color.

Although he grew up on an island, he had never seen such a magical scene since he was a child.

After seeing this, cousin Li Shuguang felt that he had lost again. On the way here, he thought a lot, but he never expected that Li Duoyu would come to a place like this to fish.

Seeing that Li Duoyu had already started to lower the net, he said, "Why are you moving so fast?"

Li Duoyu joked: "I've taken over this area. If you want to set down the net, stay away from me."

Li Shuguang smiled helplessly, quickly found a good position, and quickly set down the net to catch fish.

Third update, late but arrived!
