1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 40 Return to Dandan Island (Please Read On)

Uncle Li Zheng was inexplicably excited holding the 20 big unity tickets in his hand, as a "ten thousand yuan household" on Dandan Island.

He certainly didn't lack the money.

But people are like this, making money by unorthodox means is definitely very happy, but it always feels a little empty, and this kind of hard-earned money made down to earth will give people a sense of accomplishment.

Speaking of which, this time I have to thank my nephew Li Duoyu. If it weren't for him, I guess this boat of swimming crabs wouldn't be able to sell 14 big unity tickets.

The fishing boat replenished some fresh water at Sharp Wharf and continued to set off to catch swimming crabs in the open sea.

When they set off, several more trawlers entered the harbor, and these late-arriving fishing boats were not so lucky.

The fishmonger shouted with a loudspeaker:

"Today, the crabs at the fish market are sold out. The next crabs to be collected are all saltwater crabs. They are 5 cents per pound. Those who want to buy them should line up here."

After hearing this, the captains of the boats that came later were so angry that they jumped up and down. If they were 5 cents per pound, they might not be able to make back the wages of the crew and the fuel costs.

Several captains looked at Li Duoyu and his fishing boat with hatred, and kept cursing: "What the hell, you came so early."

And that's how it was in this era.

Doing business is very about timing.

Just like those fruit growers in the inland, the price will be higher if you sell it early. Once the market starts to be saturated, the price will be immediately suppressed, and even if it rots, no one will buy it.

With the "clang clang clang" sound of the engine floating on the sea, in the next few days, Li Duoyu and his team began the boring process of setting nets, fishing nets, and picking up seafood.

During the period, the trawl net was caught by a sunken ship. The fishing boat struggled for a long time before it was brought up. Seven or eight people worked on the deck for several hours before the trawl net was repaired.

Until the sixth day of going out to sea.

The fishing boat caught about four thousand swimming crabs in total. Due to the bad market in the next few days, there were too many swimming crabs at the dock.

Even saltwater crabs could not be handled. Some of them were not purchased in time, and many of them rotted on the boat and could only be dumped into the sea.

Seeing that they could not make money.

Li Zhengfa took everyone back to the island. He counted and earned a total of 55 big unity this trip, and the daily wages of all the crew members added up to more than 50.

More than 300 were lost in 6 days.

After deducting the fuel cost, various handling fees at the dock, and the food and drink of the crew these days, the net profit he made was only about more than 200, and this has not deducted the subsequent maintenance of the wooden boat and the loss of the trawl net.

When the fishing boat returned to Dandan Island.

After working for six consecutive days at sea, they were exhausted, carrying their quilts and clothes, and rushed home.

As soon as they arrived at the dock, his cousin Li Yujun got the news from somewhere and rushed over to his father, saying:

"Dad, lend me the boat. The imported refrigerators and TVs are selling very well now. Agui and his friends bought a batch of Hong Kong goods two days ago, and they made nearly two thousand in a few days."

Hearing that Agui and his friends made another two thousand.

Li Zhengfa was slightly moved, after all, it was ten times his income from fishing in the past six days, and it was still very easy.

But after thinking about it, he said, "Our family doesn't need the money now."

"Who complains about the small amount of money?"

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Li Yujin said anxiously, "Those big ships will leave in two days. The seafood market is very bad now. You have so many people going out to sea ten times, but you can't make as much as Agui in one trip. The money is right in front of you, and you don't make money. You are really crazy."

Seeing Li Yujun scolding him for being crazy.

Li Zhengfa's face was very dark. He found a carrying pole at the dock and chased him to fight on the spot.

"I don't need you to teach me how to do things."

And Xiaohei, Tugou and others who were sitting on the stone steps near the dock, while eating popsicles, they cheered:

"Brother Jun, are you capable? You can't borrow a boat again and be punished by your father again."

"Bullshit, I will definitely lend it to you."

"Brother Jun, Weiwu Xiao, wait for your good news."

The more they cheered, the harder the uncle beat him, but Yujun ran faster.

Li Duoyu looked at the young people who used to play with him from a distance, and couldn't help but sighed. He was like this in his previous life.

However, he only earned 25 yuan after going out to sea for six days with the older generation, while these people played every day, waiting for the big ship to come, and each person could get two or three hundred yuan after going out to sea.

Which young person would not be confused.

However, today is October 11th.

These people who sell goods can still enjoy themselves for another five days, and the biggest crackdown is coming.

When Li Duoyu returned home, he found that Zhou Xiaoying was not at home, but there was a brown paper letter on the table that had not been demolished yet. The sender was Lianjiang Fisheries Research Institute.

I didn't expect my uncle to be so efficient and send the things so quickly. Li Duoyu opened it and saw that it was just as he expected, an agreement document for cooperation between the Fisheries Research Institute and him.

The document was also stamped with the official seal of the institute and the signature of the director of the institute.

The general content is that the Fisheries Research Institute will cooperate with him in the trial cultivation of kelp, provide 30 mu of kelp seedlings for free, and provide kelp cultivation technology support, and strive to build a high-quality kelp cultivation demonstration base in Lianjiang County.

After seeing this agreement document.

Li Duoyu breathed a sigh of relief, because at this point, his kelp cultivation has finally been put on the right track, and the next step is to implement the interest-free loan.

During this special period, it is easier for those who engage in breeding and run factories to get loans, and at this time, the loans are interest-free and non-periodic. Many millionaires rely on this loan to get rich.

But this loan is a bit of a "son-pitfall". It has a provision that the son must pay the father's debt. If the lender cannot pay it back, the son will have to bear the debt.

On the fishing boat, Li Duoyu, who had not taken a bath for five or six days, hurried to the well, took off his fishy clothes on the spot, and took a shower there with a pair of shorts.

These days, men in the village are not so particular. They often wash themselves in a pair of shorts, either by the well or in the yard, and then smear soap all over their bodies and start washing.

After washing, Li Duoyu stepped on the 28-meter-long bicycle and went to the direction of the beach.

These days, in addition to missing his wife, what he is most worried about is the 30-acre kelp culture raft. I don't know if there is any pile pulling during the days he went out to sea.

After arriving at the beach.

When Li Duoyu was looking at the kelp culture raft, he was shocked. He found someone rocking a small sampan, as if stealing his culture rope.

But it was too far away, and he couldn't see who it was.

In broad daylight, stealing things, this is too much!

Li Duoyu shouted loudly: "Hey, who, if you dare to steal my rope, I will go to the police station to report you."

"Did you hear me? Stop pulling."

Unfortunately, the wind was very strong.

The kelp culture raft was a little far from the shore, and the sound could not be heard at all. Li Duoyu was so angry that he wanted to borrow a boat from the dock and catch this bastard immediately.

As a result, he just stepped on the bicycle.

The voice of his mother Chen Huiying came from the mudflat not far away:

"You stupid son, who are you going to report? That person is your father."

Li Duoyu was stunned.

His mind was full of question marks.

When did my father have a boat?
