Chapter 185 Dismantling the Abalone Breeding Raft

After Li Duoyu collected a few bunches of oysters.

He saw that not far from him, at the 300-acre abalone breeding raft, there were many large and small fishing boats busy there, including Uncle San's tugboat.

The fishing boat hasn't come close yet.

Li Duoyu found that the abalone breeding raft was full of acquaintances.

Neighbor Lao Hu,

Fishmonger Mr. Mi,

Third uncle’s family,

Uncle's family,

The three brothers Shuguang, Yuanguang and Qingguang are all here.

After seeing Li Duoyu sailing over.

Li Shuguang was the first to shout: "Duoyu, when did you come back?"

"Arrived just after noon."

Hu Zhizhong, the eldest son of the old Hu family next door, put down his work and rocked the boat after seeing Li Duoyu.

"What a fish, long time no see."

Li Duoyu looked at the young man in front of him and frowned slightly. After looking at Lao Hu on the boat, he suddenly remembered who he was.

"Brother Zhong, when did you come back?"

Hu Zhizhong frowned and said, "Did you forget about me just now?"

"How is it possible? You were the one who took us to play when we were little."

To be honest, Li Duoyu almost didn't recognize him just now. If his past life was included, Li Duoyu hadn't seen him for more than forty years, so naturally he couldn't remember what he looked like.

Hu Zhizhong looked at Li Duoyu and said, "I can't believe that I haven't seen you for more than two years and you have changed so much that you are now the village director."

"Did you vote for me?"

"That's for sure. After so many years as a neighbor, if I didn't vote for you, who would I vote for?"

Li Duoyu pointed to the breeding raft in front of him: "Did you contract the twenty acres that your father bought?"

"That's right, I'm the one who undertook it."

"You no longer sell Balang fish. Do you plan to live on the island permanently?"

Hu Zhizhong shook his head and said: "After so many years of carrying the burden, I am tired of it. I have built a store in the county and plan to open a dry goods store. I may live in the county in the future."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "It's good to open a store."

In Li Duoyu's memory, in this era, it was quite profitable to open a store, and the prospects for dry goods stores were very good.

Hu Zhizhong said: "If there are good products in the future, remember to keep an eye on me. Your kelp sold very well last time. Many customers wanted to buy it again, but it's a pity that it is out of stock."

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Last year, there were only 30 acres, and the yield was not much. It was sold out immediately. This year, everyone has raised it, so there will be no shortage of goods."

The two chatted for a while.

Hu Zhizhong took out a small red envelope and stuffed it into Li Duoyu's hand: "By the way, your child is one month old and I forgot about it. You keep this."

Li Duoyu quickly retreated.

"No need, I didn't even give you any red envelopes when your two children are one month old."

Hu Zhizhong sighed: "Both of my two girls are girls. Besides, when they were one month old, you and Xiaoying were still in junior high school."

"Hurry up and put it away, please give me some thought."

Seeing how polite he was, Li Duoyu accepted the red envelope: "Then when your next child is one month old, I will give it back to you."

Hu Zhizhong lamented: "How dare you have a baby? Nowadays, no one is allowed to have a second child in the city. The third baby will probably destroy your family."

Li Duoyu smiled.

If I remember correctly, Hu Zhizhong was quite patriarchal. He seemed to have been fined a lot of money for having a third child.

After the two chatted for a while.

Li Duoyu began to help dismantle the abalone breeding raft.

Abalone breeding rafts are very different from kelp breeding rafts. Abalone breeding rafts have a lot of bamboo and foam floats that people can walk on, a bit like dense fishing rafts.

It would be best to convert abalone breeding rafts into oyster breeding rafts. Unfortunately, the number of oyster seedlings is limited, so everyone can only raise kelp.

To change the abalone breeding raft into a kelp breeding raft, many moso bamboos and plastic cylindrical floats must be removed, leaving only part of the floats and main ropes.

So our main job now is to dismantle moso bamboo and clean the barnacles and mussels on the floating balls.

As for the dismantled moso bamboos, we plan to follow Li Duoyu's example and insert them all on the tidal flats, where they can be used to dry kelp and preserve oysters.

Now, almost all the hundreds of acres of land on the tidal flats have been contracted by Li Duoyu and his relatives.

Take advantage of the gap when the tugboat returns to the port to unload the cargo.

The three brothers from the uncle's family sailed to Li Duoyu and said, "Duoyu, I heard that you have been called to the county for a meeting again."

"Wang Dapao has been the captain of the brigade for so many years, but he has never gone to the county to hold a few meetings. You have only been the village director for so long, and you have held so many meetings."

The youngest Qingguang asked:

"Brother Duoyu, what kind of meeting are you attending this time?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Commendation meeting."

"Have you been commended again?" Li Qingguang looked surprised.

Li Duoyu nodded and said, "That's for sure. I was rated advanced this time."

After hearing this, Lao Li, who was taking a break smoking a cigarette, was happy, but he didn't show any excitement.

Li Shuguang said with emotion: "Comparing people with each other is so annoying. My father has been a fishery captain for so many years, and he has only been rated as advanced once. The certificate of award is still hanging in the middle of the hall of my house. How many months have you been the village director?" , I was rated as advanced, so I have to treat him to dinner.”

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "No problem, when the time comes, Dongqing and I will invite you together."

Li Shuguang stared: "Dongqing also advanced?"

"Um."

Li Duoyu nodded.

"Damn it, your family has two firsts at once."

Li Shuguang continued, "By the way, Shitou and Tang Ping have been urging me these past two days, asking when to arrange for them to go fishing."

Li Duoyu thought for a while,

"Let's see the weather these two days. If the northeast wind doesn't come, I'll take them out to sea to fish in two days."

"Okay."

Li Shuguang continued, "By the way, the shad we caught at this time last year seems to be back again. Do you want to try again?"

Last time at the mouth of Wujiang River,

the golden croaker was not caught.

Shad was not caught either,

which is indeed a little resentful.

Li Duoyu also plans to try again, but that place is not the operating area of ​​their village, and they were driven away once last year.

If they go again this year, the other party probably won't be polite to them.

However, Li Duoyu also thought of a way. At that time, he would bring Zhao Jialu, who is from the Fisheries Bureau, with him. Even if those villagers are fierce, they will probably have to swallow their anger when they meet the people who manage them.

Li Shuguang asked:

"By the way, Duoyu, I remember you started planting kelp seedlings in October last year. When will we plant kelp seedlings this year?"

Li Duoyu measured the seawater temperature with his hand.

It was still about 20 degrees.

Although it was already October, almost everyone present was still wearing short sleeves.

"It may be late winter this year, maybe in mid-December."

"Will it affect the kelp so late?"

Li Duoyu replied: "It will only take one or two months for the kelp to grow. This month is not a big deal. What we have to worry about is the typhoon."

"That's good."

Not long after.

Uncle San's tugboat came back, and everyone started to return to their contracted breeding rafts and continue to dismantle bamboo.

Li Duoyu asked Chen Wenchao: "Have you been sleeping on the fishing raft these two days?"

"Ah."

Chen Wenchao quickly replied: "These two days, I was the only one sleeping on the fishing raft. Xiaolan didn't come."

If Chen Wenchao hadn't said it, Li Duoyu would have almost forgotten about it. It seems that the last time he ran into them, it brought a lot of psychological trauma to Chen Wenchao.

Chen Wenchao continued, "Brother Yu, didn't you go out for a meeting these two days? I slept on the fishing raft and deliberately turned off all the lights. I thought someone would come to steal, but I waited for two days and nothing happened."

Li Duoyu replied, "You don't have to guard at night."

"Why not?"

"I'll explain it to you later."

At present, Li Duoyu can probably be sure that the boat that stole his oysters is not from Dandan Island, but there should be an insider on the island.

There is no rush now. When Manager An comes, ask him and maybe there will be clues.

In fact, Li Duoyu really hopes that they will steal again, and it would be best if they can catch them in the act.

At that time, it will not be a matter of losing one or two acres of oysters. The specific number of acres lost will be entirely up to him.

Seeking monthly tickets and recommendation tickets.
