226. Chapter 226 Big Cooling

Chapter 226 Big Drop in Temperature

The thunderstorm was getting heavier.

When Li Duoyu ran to the bamboo factory, he was already soaked.

Fortunately, my father and Chen Wenchao were very quick and had almost all the dried oysters put into the factory.

Dried oysters are very afraid of being exposed to rain, especially those that have only been exposed to the sun for a few days. Once exposed to rain, if the rainwater is not evaporated in time, it is easy to mold and deteriorate.

However, the worst thing was the eel pond. As the rain got heavier, the pond was flooded and the soil became muddy, making it impossible to dig.

The villagers who dug the eel pond also ran to the bamboo factory to avoid the rain.

For a while, the bamboo factory was crowded with people, and most of their clothes were wet, and they all cursed the weather.

"It's almost the winter solstice, why is it still raining so hard."

"Once this rain comes, I guess I won't be able to dig the pond for a week or two."

Li Duoyu smiled bitterly. Just now, he thought it was interesting to watch others collect clothes and dried fish. He didn't expect that he was the one who dried the most seafood on the island.

And everyone was anxious.

The victim Li Duoyu didn't seem to be particularly anxious.

"It's raining so hard, why aren't you anxious at all."

Li Duoyu smiled helplessly.

"You'll get used to it."

"Your mentality is really good."

A middle-aged man said: "If your mentality is not good, would you dare to invest so much money to raise eels?"

Li Zhengtian on the side looked at these dried oysters with a worried face. Originally, the raw drying of dried oysters depends on the weather, and Lao Li's oysters are very fat.

If they are not dried continuously for more than half a month.

It is easy to deteriorate.

Looking at the continuous heavy rain, Lao Li was also very melancholy, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only ask Lao Si.

"Duoyu, I guess the rain will last for several days. If it continues like this, oysters won't work. Do you have any solution?"

Li Duoyu frowned. In fact, he was also very anxious, but being anxious was useless.

For farmers.

You can work hard on everything.

Only the weather is useless no matter how hard you try.

Li Duoyu was anxious before, watching his abalone breeding raft being blown apart by the typhoon.

But it's useless to be anxious to death.

Extreme weather will not weaken a little just because you are anxious. The most important thing now is how to minimize the loss.

The eel pond is flooded.

After draining, just dig it again.

At most, the construction period will be postponed for half a month, and it is also possible to raise eels later.

But the first thing to solve now should be the problem of dried oysters.

After drying this batch of dried oysters, there will be about 600 kilograms, and one kilogram can be sold for one yuan.

If all are sold.

At least 600 yuan income.

Next, if it rains all the time, it is really impossible to dry oysters. Once they get moldy, they are probably not worth giving away.

Li Duoyu made a prompt decision and shouted to the villagers who were hiding from the rain:

"Because it rains and we can't dry them, we are selling them at a special price. You can go home and fry them, deep-fry them, or make oyster omelets."

"After this day, they will not be sold at this price."

When Li Duoyu shouted, everyone looked over and was a little confused. Why did they suddenly sell dried oysters?

But I heard that they were selling them at a special price.

Someone couldn't help but ask first.

"Is the special price very cheap?"

Li Duoyu smiled and replied: "70 cents per pound."

"Your dried oysters are so wet, why are you selling them so expensive?"

The villagers echoed:

"Village director, you can't do this. How can this be a special price? It's obviously not much cheaper."

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Since you say so, I will suffer a loss and sell it to you for 50 cents directly."

After hearing this price, the villagers were instantly moved.

"This price is about right."

"But I don't have any money. Can I exchange it with today's wages?" "Sure, no problem at all."

"Then I want four pounds."

"I want three pounds."

When Chen Wenchao saw Li Duoyu start selling oysters, he ran back home in the rain and brought a beam scale. .

Most of the villagers on the island have eaten their oysters. The taste is really good. The oysters in the shell are sold for 10 cents per pound.

This kind of slightly dried oysters are sold for 50 cents, which is definitely a good deal. Seeing more and more people buying, some people who are still hesitating also shouted.

"I want two pounds too."

After buying oysters, some people directly wrapped them in clothes and ran home in the rain to tell their neighbors that Li Duoyu's dried oysters were on sale.

It didn't take long.

Many uncles and aunts who heard about the special offer came wearing bamboo hats, all with money in their hands.

"Village director, I want two kilograms of dried oysters."

"I want to buy twenty kilograms."

After hearing this, everyone looked at a woman named Chen Xiulan.

"Why do you buy so many kilograms? They will go bad if you can't finish them."

"I'll buy them back and put them next to the stove to roast. I can sell one kilogram for one yuan in the future."

Everyone suddenly realized.

Yes, everyone has a stove, so you can put the dried oysters on the stove and dry them slowly, and you don't have to eat them all.

"Then I want ten kilograms too."

It took an afternoon.

Li Duoyu sold all the dried oysters.

Old Li, who was helping on the side, really admired his fourth son. He found that his brain was really not as good as his son.

When encountering this kind of thing, he only thought about how to dry the oysters, and never thought that he could sell the dried oysters directly.

Although he lost a little.

But at least it is better than mold and deterioration.

…

After selling all the dried oysters, Li Duoyu was relieved. In fact, it is quite troublesome to dry the dried oysters.

In their previous lives, they had not used this method for a long time. They usually took short videos to deceive netizens. Almost everyone used dryers, which were very efficient and did not need to consider the weather at all.

And as a farmer, he really felt that there was not much difference between machine-dried dried oysters and naturally dried oysters.

What Li Duoyu did not expect was that this rain lasted for a whole week.

The eel pond he dug was directly filled with water and turned into a pond, which made him feel a little myocardial infarction.

The temperature also dropped from more than 20 degrees to single digits.

A big drop in temperature made everyone shiver. Before the rain, there were still many people wearing short sleeves on Dandan Island, but now, everyone has become a turtle, and some who are afraid of the cold have already put on cotton clothes and trousers.

Rain and big drop in temperature.

Almost no villagers went out to sea to fish, but all stayed at home.

However, it did not affect Li Shuguang and his friends who went to the sea to fish. Instead, they caught a lot of big fish.

Since the sea fishing business was outsourced.

Li Duoyu made money lying down every day. Li Shuguang and his friends went to the sea once every three days on average. In less than a month, Li Duoyu had received more than 400 yuan.

When giving money to Li Duoyu.

Li Shuguang said: "A few days ago, when we were fishing in the open sea, we met the old man again. We gave him the letter."

Li Duoyu asked: "Did he say anything after reading the letter?"

"Nothing, just a little depressed."

"Then did you tell him what I told him?"

"I told him."

Li Shuguang frowned and asked: "Are you really going to his hometown to help him find his family? I think it's enough. There is no need at all."

Li Duoyu smiled and replied: "After all, if I accepted a water pump and just helped write a letter, it would be too expensive. It just so happens that the place is very close to Xiaoying's hometown. I can go there to take a look."

"That's fine."

But Li Shuguang had an inexplicable strange feeling, as if Li Duoyu knew a long time ago that the old man would definitely not be able to find his wife and children, so Li Duoyu deliberately accepted the water pump.
