181. Chapter 181 Mr. Zhao Pays the Bill (1/2)

Li Duoyu followed Director Zheng to a reception room. As he expected, the reception room was full of leaders.

Director Wu of the Fisheries Bureau.

The CEO of Rongcheng Aquatic Products Processing Factory.

The top two leaders of the county were also here. People of Director Zheng's level could only be ranked last among this group of people.

Suddenly with so many leaders in the same room, no matter how steady Li Duoyu was, he was a little panicked when being watched by so many people.

The big leader who was drinking tea casually said, "If I hadn't asked Lao Zheng to call you, you would have run away again."

Li Duoyu scratched his head.

"Just find a place to sit."

Li Duoyu looked around and found a seat in the corner to sit down.

The leader continued:

"I heard from Director Wu that you performed well in Nagasaki. You caught a 600-pound tuna, which was auctioned for more than 100,000 yuan. The president, Kojima Hideo, also gave you five fishing rods and a fishing boat?"

Just as the leader finished speaking, his secretary whispered a few words in his ear.

After listening, the leader sighed and said, "Look at my memory, it should be President Kojima Kawau."

After hearing this, the president of the processing plant was shocked: "What kind of fish is this? It's so expensive. Our factory doesn't make as much as one fish in a month of production."

Director Wu said, "I was also at the scene that day. The tuna caught by Duoyu was indeed auctioned for more than 100,000 yuan."

The president of the aquatic product processing plant sighed, "Our economic gap is really big."

Faced with the leader's question, Li Duoyu replied, "The five fishing rods are real, but the boat is just a casual talk. It's not known whether it will be given or not."

"You gave them all the fish you caught. If they don't give it to you, I will ask for it for you when the time comes."

"Thank you Thank you, leader. I feel relieved when you said that. "

"I heard that the fishing rod that President Kojima Kawai gave you can catch a big fish weighing more than 600 kilograms?"

Li Duoyu nodded: "It can be caught, but it takes a long time. If you pull hard, even the best fishing rod can't hold it."

"In the past, I also liked fishing when I was young."

"Then I'll send you a set."

"It would be great if I had time to fish. Instead of giving it to me, why not lend a set to our city's fishing tackle factory and let them study it carefully."

"No problem, I think so too."

"You kid, you have awareness, but not high. If you really think so, you won't run so fast when you get off the plane that day."

Li Duoyu scratched his head awkwardly.

The big leader said to a middle-aged man behind him: "Director Liu, go ask Duoyu for a set of fishing rods and study it carefully, but you still have to give it."

The middle-aged man nodded.

After the big leader finished talking about one thing, he said to Li Duoyu: "Our Lianjiang County is a big fishing county, but why has there been no cold storage? Do you know the reason?"

Li Duoyu shook his head.

"I guess you don't know either. There are many historical issues here, so I won't tell you in detail."

The leader didn't plan to talk about it, but Li Duoyu understood some things.

When people get old, they like to watch some strange things. In his previous life, after he came back from the island country, what he wanted to know most was what happened in the country during the 20 years when he worked illegally.

So he watched short videos and learned about some policies at that time.

In the early days of reform and opening up, the country's foreign exchange reserves were negative. Many unreasonable things made sense instantly as long as they were related to foreign exchange.

For example, there is no fish to eat in the mainland, but why do coastal aquatic product processing factories export to all parts of the world at very cheap prices?

Why does the Friendship Store only allow foreigners to enter and sell cultural relics? The answer is also very simple, just to earn foreign exchange.

In short, it is to export things, exchange them for US dollars and Japanese yen, and then use the money to buy high-end equipment.

During the reform and opening up, after the inspection team went abroad, they found that various domestic production equipment was very backward. The top priority for those in power was how to earn more foreign exchange and then import a batch of new equipment.

Why Lianjiang has never had an ice-making factory? This involves the foreign trade export of aquatic product processing plants.

If there is an ice-making factory, fishermen will definitely find a way to sell the fish they catch to the market or to a farther place.

The aquatic product processing plant will lose the advantage of buying at a low price, which will increase a lot of costs invisibly, thereby reducing their profits.

The leader continued:

"By the way, I called you here this time. In addition to the fishing rod, there is another good thing to tell you, that is, our aquatic product processing plant has imported a set of advanced ice-making equipment.

They plan to build a branch in the county. You are the only fisherman here. Where do you think the ice-making plant should be built? It is better for you fishermen."

Li Duoyu looked at the leaders present. This question felt that he should not answer it.

But since it concerns Dandan Island and his own interests, Li Duoyu does not want to be tied down and must fight for what he should fight for.

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Personally, of course I hope it is as close to our island as possible, so that we can save some money when buying ice cubes, but all fishermen should think so."

The big boss looked at him with disdain: "Why are you playing tricks too? It's the same as if you didn't say anything."

After leaving the reception room.

It was already evening.

This time he came out with the iron boat of the Fisheries Research Institute. At this point, he had already missed the passenger boat back to Dandan Island. It seemed that he could only stay in guesthouses and hotels at night.

Li Duoyu just took two steps.

He found that Zhao Jialu, He Gang, and Chen Dongqing had not left yet, but were waiting for him near the synagogue.

Zhao Jialu smiled and said:

"The leader's famous man came out and talked to you about some important national affairs."

Li Duoyu smiled: "No, just a few words."

"Fart, just a few words, we can talk for more than an hour."

Zhao Jialu said: "We 413 finally got together. Do you want to have a meal tonight?"

Li Duoyu said: "I didn't bring any money."

"You're so damn picky. I, Mr. Zhao, will foot the bill tonight."

Li Duoyu gave two thumbs up: "Mr. Zhao, you are awesome."

"Damn it, you, a man with a household worth ten thousand yuan, have the nerve to say, by the way, Dongqing, where can I find a better restaurant in the county?"

Chen Dongqing thought for a while and said, "Why don't we go to the Yuebin Restaurant near our unit."

"That one tastes pretty good, I think it's okay."

After arriving at the restaurant.

He Gang and Li Duoyu didn't show politeness to Zhao Jialu, and just nodded directly.

"Stir-fried beef."

"Fried pig ears."

“Water spinach”

"Eight more bottles of Rongcheng beer."

Looking at the dishes they ordered, Zhao Jialu was speechless: "When we get to the beach, if you don't order seafood, you just order meat?"

He Gang said hehely: "For people like us on the seaside, we are tired of seafood and like to eat pork. If there is wild boar, that would be even better."

"It's my treat. Can you please take care of me, a city dweller? Just like Duoyu said, the seafood we eat is not fresh. I just want to try it today to see what fresh seafood tastes like."

The boss smiled and said: "How about trying a big red spot? I just got it two days ago. There are very few live red spots. It is guaranteed to be fresh and delicious."

"How much?"

The boss stretched out his left hand, turned it over twice and said, "About this number."

After Zhao Jialu learned the price, he took a breath of air-conditioning. Since he had come to Lianjiang, he had never eaten such a big live sea fish before, so he gritted his teeth.

"Okay, let's have one."

Li Duoyu took a look at it and saw that the red spot in the tank seemed more and more familiar the more he looked at it.

Red spot is a deep-sea fish and is rarely seen in offshore waters. Unless you fish it and learn how to rescue it, you will never see it alive at all.

Li Duoyu asked: "Boss, your red spot is so big. Where did you buy it?"

"Bought from a seafood store."

"Is it the family named Zhuang?"

The boss was surprised: "How do you know?"

Li Duoyu said casually: "I went to his seafood shop a few days ago and saw this fish. I wanted to buy it, but it was too expensive."

The boss said: "It seems that this fish is destined to you."

Li Duoyu nodded.

"It's really a fate."

Chen Dongqing on the side could not help but twitch the corners of his mouth. He had already guessed the origin of this fish.

After serving.

A group of people raised their wine glasses: "Come on, let's toast our Mr. Zhao first."

Zhao Jialu laughed and scolded: "I'm the only one who didn't get advanced in the 413 dormitory, am I?"

Li Duoyu said: "We all got it, but you didn't get it. That's also a skill."

"Your uncle's."

Everyone had a great time drinking that night. After several rounds of drinking, Chen Dongqing couldn't help but cursed: "You guys think, why is my nephew so lucky? The leader actually takes care of him like this."

He Gang was also envious: "If you meet me alone, the leaders of our institute may have to go around when they see me in the future."

Zhao Jialu thought seriously: "Is it possible that because our nephew is not in the system, the leader will take special care of him."

He Gang said seriously: "I think it's possible."

When Zhao Jialu said this, everyone felt much more balanced.

Not long after, a steamed large red spot was served to the table.

Zhao Jialu picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth to eat. He frowned and said, "It's tender, but it's not as delicious as I imagined."

Li Duoyu rolled his eyes:

"If you don't eat the skin of this kind of grouper, but you eat the meat, are you stupid?"

Zhao Jialu picked out a piece of fish skin, put it in his mouth and ate it. It was tender, smooth and fragrant, and it was really delicious.

"Damn it, the fish skin tastes so much better than the meat."

"That's for sure. What these red spots eat is fish skin."

Chen Dongqing, who was a little tipsy, had been observing the fish head, and finally saw the fishhook hole and slammed the table.

Zhao Jialu said: "Uncle Duoyu, you are crazy. I took a mouthful of fish meat and almost vomited it out in fear."

Unexpectedly, Li Duoyu observed it for a moment and confirmed with his head behind him: "Tell you something?"

"What's going on?"

Chen Dongqing pointed to the small hole on the left side of the fish's mouth: "Red spots are deep-sea fish. They are caught in trawl nets and are usually dead. There is a small hole on the mouth of this red spot with a fishhook passing through it. I suspect that this red spot is a fish." Fished."

"Holy shit, is it true?"

Chen Dongqing said: "I can bet you five yuan."

Li Duoyu was slightly surprised.

I didn't expect my uncle to be so thoughtful, he could guess all this.

Zhao Jialu glared and said, "Damn it, you asked me to treat you to dinner, but the last thing you consumed was the red spot our nephew caught."

However, Zhao Jialu realized something and asked Li Duoyu: "Is there a lot of this kind of red spots when fishing in the open sea?"

Li Duoyu nodded.

"If you are lucky, you can catch more than ten fish a day, no problem at all."

Zhao Jialu took a breath.

"Fuck, then I want to order a thirty-yuan immersion package. As long as I catch four or five fish, I can make my money back."

"Welcome, welcome."

He Gang hesitated for a while: "When you go fishing, call me, I want to try it too."

The four of them drank all night.

The first one to lie on the table was the uncle Chen Dongqing. After getting drunk, he kept cursing Li Duoyu with envy and jealousy.

Zhao Jialu and He Gang had a better alcohol tolerance.

After paying.

The two of them were arm in arm, not only did they urinate on the side of the road together, but they also sang red songs and went in the direction of the guesthouse.

As for the uncle Chen Dongqing, Li Duoyu shook him several times but couldn't wake him up.

Fortunately, his home is very close to the restaurant, just behind the community of the unit. Li Duoyu helped him to the door and knocked on the door.

Speaking of which, except for the trip to get married, Li Duoyu has never visited his uncle's house.

What does his aunt look like?

Li Duoyu has forgotten it.

Seeing no response, Li Duoyu knocked twice again, and a lazy voice came from the door.

"Who is it so late?"

"Aunt, it's me, Duoyu, my uncle is drunk, I helped him back."

The drunk Chen Dongqing grinned and said, "Good nephew, you are finally willing to call me uncle, not bad, not bad."

Not bad, your uncle.

Li Duoyu's mouth twitched.

After a while, the door opened, and a woman in home pajamas slowly pushed open a gap.

After confirming that it was Li Duoyu and her husband, she opened the door.

A clean and clear woman with big waves. Although not as pretty as Zhou Xiaoying, she is also a beauty.

Seeing Chen Dongqing who was drunk, Chen Hongxia frowned: "Why are you drinking like this again? You don't know how to restrain yourself."

The limp Chen Dongqing laughed: "Hongxia, I was rated as advanced today, and my salary will be increased soon."

Chen Hongxia sighed: "Even if you are rated as advanced, you can't drink so much."

Li Duoyu helped to the sofa in the hall. After glancing at her aunt, she suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward.

"Aunt, I'll leave first."

Chen Hongxia asked: "Duoyu, where are you staying tonight?"

"No, I'll stay in the guesthouse."

Chen Hongxia frowned and said: "How about you sleep in the hall with Dongqing tonight."

Li Duoyu replied: "No, the guesthouse is very convenient."

To be honest, my uncle is so drunk, even if your family has a place to live, I dare not live in the same room with you.

Some things, even if they didn't happen, others can't help thinking about them.

When Li Duoyu left, Chen Hongxia said, "Thank you. The fish glue you gave me last time was quite effective. Also, don't call me aunt next time. It feels like you are calling me an older generation. We are about the same age. Just call me by my name."

Li Duoyu also wanted to call her by her name.

But after thinking for a long time, he really forgot her name. It seemed to be Xia?

Shuixia?

Or Yunxia?

After leaving his uncle's house, Li Duoyu was too lazy to go to the guesthouse. If he was not a leader there, he could only stay in a multi-person room.

He directly found a decent hotel nearby and spent a little more money to get a single room with multiple beds.

And this time it was quite harmonious.

Maybe because of the bad business, he was the only one living on the whole floor, and there was no exciting plot. (End of this chapter)
