Chapter 131: The Factory Building Is Put Up

Most villagers in Dandan Island thought that after Li Duoyu made a lot of money, he would definitely want to build a new house, buy a color TV, and a refrigerator.

But what they didn't expect was.

Not only did he deposit the money in a credit union to earn interest, he also built a simple bamboo factory on the peanut land that originally belonged to their family by the beach.

I don't know whether to say that this family is powerful or stingy. They were reluctant to hire a master for such a large factory, and all the buildings were built by their relatives.

But the people in the village envy the prosperous and united Li family.

Speaking of which, half a year ago, this family didn't seem to be so united. The conflict between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law was very big, and the relationship between the sisters-in-law was very bad.

Li Duoyu played outside all day, and his wife didn't go home even when she was pregnant. His eldest brother refused to go home for the New Year because of the division of the family.

The old lady with bound feet was too cruel. She gave all the property to the eldest and the third, which led to a rift between the three brothers of the Li family.

There were a lot of trivial and bad things, but since Li Duoyu stopped selling goods and learned his lesson, the family suddenly became harmonious.

Even their luck got better. When the goods were stolen, the villagers thought that Li Zhengfa, the third son of the Li family, and Li Duoyu would definitely not escape.

But they didn't expect that one lost money to avoid disaster.

Another, someone reported him by real name, not only did nothing happen, but he was praised for turning himself in.

Li Duoyu seemed to be connected to the luck of the Li family. When he was not good, the Li family was in a mess. When he was good, the whole luck of the family was up.

Even the fortune teller Chen said that Li Duoyu had changed his fate and would have great blessings in the future. Those who were willing to follow him would be blessed.

At first, everyone didn't believe it.

But since Chen Wenchao followed him, not only did he build a new house, but he even got together with Liu Xiaolan.

During this period, Li Shuguang and Lao Zhuang, who were close to Li Duoyu, seemed to have made a lot of money.

Everyone realized that what Chen Xiazi said might be true.

It was cold early last year.

And this year's hot summer came especially early.

It was only mid-June, and Dandan Island was as hot as a furnace. Walking barefoot on the beach would burn you to death.

In such hot weather, fishermen dared not go out to sea to fish during the day, and most of them stayed at home.

Because even if they started fishing, the seafood would be too hot before it arrived at the dock, and it was particularly easy to get heatstroke.

A few days ago, a fisherman did not listen to advice and insisted on going fishing in the hot sun. As a result, he got heatstroke on the sea.

Fortunately, he was found by other fishermen and pulled back, otherwise he would probably be sunburned to death on the sea.

At this time, Li Duoyu was also so hot that he was about to get heatstroke. He was tearing bamboo, first hitting the bamboo mouth twice with a hatchet, and then splitting the bamboo in half.

Bamboo is amazing, very hard but also very brittle. As long as you crack it, you can tear it apart with your hands.

The torn bamboo strips are mainly used as rafters for the inclined roof, and can also be woven together to become bamboo fences.

After tearing a bamboo strip.

Li Duoyu took two sips of cold boiled water. He has been working in the factory for seven consecutive days.

Originally, Li Duoyu planned to hire more people to build the factory, but for some reason, Lao Li was surprisingly stubborn about building the factory.

He felt that there was no need to ask outsiders to do this, and his own people could do it.

So the seven or eight men in the Li family, plus Chen Wenchao, and the uncle Chen Dongqing, who would get his hands hurt when sawing bamboo and now has a "work injury", and is eating and stealing watermelons as a supervisor all day long.

Since all the treasury was handed over, this guy has been eating and drinking at Li Duoyu's place recently, and Chief Zhang also gave him the oyster project.

So during this period, he had a good reason to "work" on Dandan Island, but at night, he would still go back to the county town obediently.

Because he listened to Duoyu's words recently.

He paid the public grain on time, so the family became more harmonious. In the past, his wife always quarreled with him over trivial matters.

Now they don't quarrel anymore.

After the overall structure of the factory was built, Li Duoyu wanted to finish it as soon as possible so that he could start planting oyster seedlings.

But he was stopped by Lao Li.

He had to hold a beam raising ceremony.

Li Duoyu felt that it was unnecessary to be so formal for an ordinary factory, but when Lao Li got angry, he was the kind that could not be reasoned with at all and would not listen to your opinions at all.

He had already asked Chen Xiazi to calculate a suitable day for beam raising.

Then he spent money to buy a very long and straight fir tree in the town, peeled and oiled it, and then, on the day of beam raising, he hung it with red silk cloth.

The four big characters "Shangliang Daji" were written on it with a brush, and on Dandan Island, beam raising is very particular.

There is an 80-year-old "magician" in the village who specializes in this work. During the "breaking four" and the "special period", these superstitions were not allowed.

The old Taoist priest had no sons or daughters, and the production team did not want him. He had no work points and almost starved to death.

Until now, the villagers think it is a miracle that he survived that period.

Fortunately, after the opening up, more and more villagers built houses in recent years, and the life and food of the old Taoist priest also improved.

Unfortunately, his teeth fell out, and even if he made money, he could only drink porridge and eat a little meat soup.

The ceremony of raising the beam is very complicated, including raising the beam, offering sacrifices to the beam, throwing the beam, and installing the beam. It also requires preparing a lot of worship items and a big rooster for sacrifice.

When they go up to the beam here, they mostly choose it at night or at dawn when the tide is high. One is that the rising tide means money is rolling in.

And choosing night is because you are worried that people will talk too much during the day, and you are afraid that some red-eyed people will say some unlucky words.

Moreover, those who come to participate in the ceremony must all be men, and they must "hang red", that is, covered with red silk cloth.

Lao Li, who is usually reluctant to spend a penny, also invited a suona team to play suona and beat gongs and drums.

As the tide rises at night.

Chen Wenchao, who had been watching the tide, ran over and shouted: "The water is rising."

So, Li Duoyu and the others lit the incense in their hands, and first of all they had to pay homage to "Master Lu Ban".

After worshiping.

The old Taoist priest held a Luban ruler in his hand and sang a Liang song:

A piece of red silk is wrapped around the beam,

The factory is full of auspicious clouds and joy.

Business is booming when the head is tied to the faucet.

The tail is tied to the dragon's tail for thousands of years.

Every time I read it, everyone present had to agree: "Okay."

After reciting, the Taoist priest killed the rooster with an axe, and then smeared the chicken's blood on the beams and pillars to offer sacrifices to the gods of heaven and earth.

Then, sing songs to sacrifice Liang.

The entire beam-laying ceremony was serious and solemn. No one dared to mess around and had to follow the procedures. Finally, under the instructions of the old Taoist priest, Li Duoyu lit the firecrackers.

Amidst the continuous sound of firecrackers, the beam-laying ceremony was completed.

Of course, there is the last step. Li Duoyu has to pay dividends to the relatives who participated in the construction of the factory, that is, give out red envelopes.

After the beam loading is completed.

Li Duoyu treated these relatives who helped build the factory to a meal of wine.

Then all that was left was to lay the roof.

Li Duoyu used simple linoleum cloth, which was laid out in one day.

They finally completed a simple moso bamboo factory building of more than 200 square meters. Although it is a bit crude and is surrounded by hollows for ventilation, it is enough.

The day the factory was completed.

Many villagers came over to watch. Most of them said congratulations, while some asked how much it cost to build such a moso bamboo factory.

After Section Chief Zhang Qingyun learned the news, he immediately sent Li Duoyu a plaque of "Dandan Island Oyster Breeding Base" wrapped in red silk cloth.

Li Duoyu set off a bunch of firecrackers again.

Looking at the factory building built in front of him, Li Duoyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He made the right decision to build this bamboo factory.

Because there is a high probability that this summer will usher in a scorching summer with little rain and high temperatures. It is almost impossible to wait for a rainy day that lasts for several days.

Zhang Qingyun was also very satisfied with Li Duoyu's speed. Looking at the factory in front of him, he smiled and said, "We just finished building the factory, do you want to rest for two days?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "No, you have to strike while the iron is hot."

Section Chief Zhang sighed with emotion: "To be honest, after thinking about it these past two days, I really can't bear to give you these oyster sprouts."

"Chief Zhang, your mentality is unacceptable. As a researcher, you don't like the new and hate the old. How can you develop good products?"

Zhang Qingyun's fingers trembled: "What a mouth."

"Okay, I'm kidding you. Get ready. At four o'clock tomorrow morning, the institute's ship will transport the first batch of oyster seedlings to the island."

"Chief Zhang, what kind of cigarettes do you like to smoke? I'll send you one another day."

Zhang Qingyun said casually: "Three-nine."

"This is too expensive to buy."

"You look like you are insincere."
