Chapter 165 Listen to Duoyu's Story

After Li Duoyu dealt with the matter.

The villagers took the initiative to install the gate of the village committee and cleaned up the dirty things that had been splashed before.

Although they lost a lot of money in abalone farming, they were so excited that they smiled when they learned that they could get some money back.

An old lady hurried back to the middle of the road, knocked on the wooden door next door and shouted: "Cui Lan, I have good news for you."

A middle-aged woman with red eyes and pale face opened the door.

"The village director said that the money we invested in abalone was not lost, and we might get some back."

Zhang Cuilan was shocked, she was a little bit unbelievable, "You really didn't lie to me, our money can still be refunded."

The old lady nodded and said:

"The village director said so, then it must be refundable, but I don't know how much it can be refunded. In short, you should think about it. Money can be earned again. People are gone, it's gone completely."

Hearing that there is still money to refund.

Zhang Cuilan suddenly thought it over, turned around and went back to the house, took the wooden bucket and a small rake.

"What are you doing here?"

Zhang Cuilan said seriously: "The tide will recede soon. I'm going to Xiaohai to get some clams to sell."

"You haven't eaten for several days. How can you have the strength?"

"Forget it, I'll go with you."

After Li Duoyu returned home.

The little fat boy also came back from school and was feeding the chickens and ducks with chopped fish.

When he saw Li Duoyu, he stopped feeding and ran over excitedly.

"Uncle, when did you come back?"

"I just came back not long ago." Li Duoyu touched his head and saw his expectant look, and knew what he wanted.

I went back to the house and got a bottle of colorful candy, and then handed it to him: "I feel like you have fewer teeth again, eat less, okay?"

"I know, uncle."

"By the way, uncle, what's the name of this candy, why does it look so much like a sea urchin?"

"This is called Konpeito."

Although this candy is called the national candy of the island country, to be honest, Li Duoyu thinks it's just average, similar to the crystal candy in China, both made of food coloring and white sugar.

But after putting on the coat of imported goods, the little fat man eats it so deliciously, Li Duoyu can even predict it.

The little fat man secretly put Konpeito in his pocket, and when the get out of class was over, he deliberately took it out in front of everyone and ate it, and boasted:

"This is the candy from the island country."

At this time.

Zhou Xiaoying was in the kitchen, helping A Niang cook rice. Li Duoyu sniffed and smelled a sour smell.

It seems that A Niang cooked pickled vegetable and pork ribs soup for him again. Since the last time she cooked this soup, Li Duoyu ate three bowls of rice.

A Niang knew that he liked to drink this soup very much, so every time she wanted to celebrate, she would cook this pickled vegetable and pork ribs soup for him.

In addition to pork ribs soup.

A Niang also made wooden barrel rice.

At that time, pressure cookers were not popular yet, so if you wanted to eat rice, it was really a bit troublesome and you had to do it in two steps.

You had to use a large iron pot to boil the rice, then use a large colander to scoop out the rice, and then put it on a small stove to simmer slowly.

This time, A Niang used a wooden barrel for steaming rice, which had many gaps under it.

In order to prevent the rice from leaking out.

Generally, a layer of white gauze would be laid, and after the rice was scooped out, it would be slowly steamed in the wooden barrel to steam away the moisture in the rice.

This time, when A Niang steamed the rice, she added the hairtail marinated with salt and ginger.

It took about half an hour to steam it, and when the hairtail juice penetrated into the rice, a hairtail rice with a unique flavor was ready.

This kind of hairtail rice is very famous in Dandan Island. People who love it love it very much, but people who are not used to it can't eat it at all.

According to Lao Li, this hairtail rice was invented by the men who went out to sea in the 1950s and 1960s, because the whole boat was full of rough men.

No one knew how to cook rice at all. To save trouble, they simply cut the hairtail into sections, added some salt and cooked it with the washed white rice.

Sometimes, it was hairtail porridge, and sometimes it was hairtail rice.

When there was no fresh hairtail, they would use the pickled hairtail, which had a faint smell of ammonia and was more stimulating.

Seeing Zhou Xiaoying helping to cut vegetables.

Li Duoyu said: "Tutu is crying, I can't comfort her, you go back and comfort her."

Zhou Xiaoying quickly took off her apron and came to the bedroom, but found that little Tutu had not woken up at all. When she returned to the kitchen again, she found that Li Duoyu was already helping to cut vegetables.

Zhou Xiaoying was angry and amused. She wanted to say something, but she held back her words.

This man in her family.

Why does he like cooking so much?

Li Duoyu ate exquisite cuisine for a month in the island country, and even ate high-end sashimi and tuna chin meat.

But what he liked most was still the taste of his hometown.

The salty and fragrant pickled vegetable and pork ribs soup, which was very delicious, and the unique and soft hairtail rice, as well as the shrimp and vegetable he fried himself.

Before he knew it, he had eaten three bowls of rice.

After eating and drinking.

Li Duoyu sat on the stone bar to digest the food.

Looking at the sunset on the sea, occasionally you can see a few motorboats not far away that are sailing with the wind to save diesel.

And as night falls.

After dinner, relatives who learned that he was back came to their house one after another, and some even brought their own small stools, all wanting to hear about his trip abroad.

A bunch of men were there, touching the fishing rod he brought back. Li Qingguang, the youngest of their generation, was so excited that he could not speak coherently after touching the fishing rod.

"Brother, if you want to go fishing, you must take me with you."

Li Shuguang patted his head.

"Your brother is here. Why is he so kind every time he calls him Duoyu? He always only calls me by my name."

Li Qingguang said disgustedly: "You have bullied me since you were a child, and you still asked me to call you brother. There is no way. It's good that I didn't call you a nickname."

"Aren't you a rebel?"

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

After the news of Li Duoyu's return spread, Chen Wenchao also brought Liu Xiaolan over that night.

A group of people sat there and listened to Li Duoyu talk about his experiences abroad.

Li Duoyu didn't originally plan to talk about it, but seeing their expectant looks, he decided to talk a little bit.

I heard that the trains there can cover more than a thousand kilometers in a day, the buildings there are hundreds of meters high, and the streets are full of cars.

When they heard that the starting price of a taxi in the island country was Li Yaoguo's three months' salary, everyone was shocked and speechless.

Finally, Li Duoyu said that a tuna sold for a high price of 180,000 yuan, and everyone was completely stunned.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes were full of yearning.

The second sister-in-law, Zhu Xiuhua, said excitedly: "If you go to an island country to wash dishes, you can earn at least two to three thousand a month."

Li Duoyu nodded and said:

"It's estimated to be more than five or six thousand."

The second sister-in-law took a breath and said: "If I were you, I would definitely find a way to escape and never come back. Five or six thousand a month, and ten thousand yuan in two months.

Li Qingguang said: "If it were me, I wouldn't come back. If I work for seven or eight years, I will definitely be the richest on the island when I come back."

After hearing his mother's words, Li Haoran said with a speechless expression: "Mom, if I give you a chance, you won't really want to abandon me and my father."

The second sister-in-law glared at him.

"What does abandonment mean? I'm here to earn you a wife."

"I'm still so young, what do I need from a wife?"

"If you don't study hard, you will definitely not be able to find a wife in the future. I'll make some money first and build you a big house."

Li Haoran muttered

"It's not like you have to study to find a good wife. My uncle doesn't like studying either. My aunt is so beautiful and takes care of her family."

After hearing this, the relatives laughed one after another: "Okay, this kid's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter."

The third uncle also said: "Haoran, if you really don't know how to read, I can hang out with your uncle after graduating from junior high school. Maybe I can make more money."

Zhu Xiuhua looked at these noisy relatives with a little annoyance. Two months ago, she would definitely have turned her back on them.

But this time, she lost all her family's money by investing in abalone farming. She glanced at Li Yaoguo, who was smiling happily.

I had no choice but to swallow the words that came to my mouth.

Li Duoyu took a look at these relatives.

In the previous life, almost ten years later, one-third of the people here had either smuggled themselves to the beautiful country or to the island country.

And now is not the peak of smuggling in Shangfeng Town, it will almost be in the 1990s.

Once the first batch of stowaways have established a foothold, they will find ways to bring their families and relatives over.

Li Duoyu remembers that in the 1990s, he often met fellow islanders on the streets of Tokyo at night.

This night.

Everyone listened to Li Duoyu's talk until very late. When they saw Li Duoyu yawning, Chen Huiying looked distressed and quickly called everyone home.

And that night, when Li Duoyu went to bed, Zhou Xiaoying reminded him to go to town quickly and buy a new bed.
