Chapter 397 Grilled Eel Explodes (1/2)

(Regarding the resignation of the village director, the author will definitely listen to opinions and carefully consider it, please don't worry.)

After a heavy rainstorm.

The red tide and blue tears that ravaged the waters of Dandan Island just disappeared.

At the same time, Li Duoyu received a letter from Ludao Fisheries Technical School, which roughly meant that he was invited to visit the school in a month to discuss relevant teaching matters.

Li Duoyu is a guest teacher, which is different from regular teachers. He does not have a long-term employment contract or formal teaching status.

Teaching is relatively easy, just teaching specific content in a specific time period.

Although he does not have to stand on the podium often, Li Duoyu is still a little nervous when he thinks that he will have to give lectures to a group of technical secondary school students in a month.

After all, in this era, those who can pass the technical secondary school are also the top students among the top students.

After the reform and opening up, everything is in ruins, and many units have empty carrot pits and are very short of people.

If you graduate from a technical secondary school, you can enter the workplace before you are 20 years old, and the technical secondary school students of this era are not only guaranteed to be assigned jobs.

Some better schools even covered tuition fees and provided students with various food coupons and monetary subsidies.

It can be said that the technical secondary school students at that time were the fastest way for farmers' children to turn over a new leaf. As long as they graduated, they would have a stable job and cadre status.

Zhou Xiaoying told him that it is more difficult to get into technical secondary schools now than they did back then, with an admission rate of only 10%. Some students who did not do well in the exam continued to study in high school and then went to high school or university.

Of course, it is not to say that technical secondary school students at that time were better than college students, but the society at that time gave students more choices.

And teaching a group of top students is quite stressful.

Li Duoyu asked Zhou Xiaoying on the bed how to teach students. As a result, Zhou Xiaoying, who was sweating all over, only replied: "If you are really talented, you won't be afraid of teaching."

"There is no substantive suggestion."

Zhou Xiaoying said disdainfully: "What suggestions can I have? Teaching is not just teaching what you know to those who don't know."

After hearing this, Li Duoyu was enlightened, and it seemed that there was nothing to be afraid of.

The people in the Fisheries Research Institute may not have the same breeding techniques as him, so they are just teaching a bunch of kids, so what's there to fear about him?

But now, compared to teaching, there is something more important. Chen Yuansu and Manager An Yuliang have sent him several telegrams, all asking about grilling eels.

Li Duoyu asked Chen Wenchao and his second brother to take out some of the eels and put them in the pool for temporary breeding.

Before grilling the eels.

It is best to starve the eels for two days, that is, hang water to clean the intestines, so that when the eels are slaughtered, they are not easily contaminated by various bacteria.

After cleaning the eels.

Li Duoyu transported the eels to the aquatic processing plant and put the eels directly in ice water to freeze them.

This step is actually quite critical for slaughtering eels. If eels are not frozen, they are slippery things.

When they are killed, they will definitely run around everywhere and cannot be caught. In addition to freezing, a large iron nail with a plug is also necessary.

In order to cooperate with Li Duoyu in the grilled eel processing this time, Director Liu of the aquatic product processing plant directly arranged more than a dozen people for him.

Let Li Duoyu teach them how to grill eels.

Fortunately, most of these people are fishermen from Shangfeng Town. They are good at killing fish. Li Duoyu also knows several of them. They came here from Dandan Island to work.

After Li Duoyu demonstrated and explained several times, these workers quickly mastered the essentials and knew how to kill eels.

Because there is no eel grilling equipment, Li Duoyu can only grill it manually, which happens to be Li Duoyu's strength.

In his previous life, when he was working illegally, when business was the best, Li Duoyu could grill thousands of eels a day by himself, and he was a veritable eel grilling fairy.

Li Duoyu patiently explained the precautions for grilling eels, when to brush the juice, when to collect the juice, and to what extent to grill.

As a result, Li Duoyu found that the workers of this era are really very spiritual, highly comprehensible, and very positive.

After an afternoon of trying, they almost mastered the core skills of grilling eels, and Li Duoyu took advantage of the time they practiced to make a lot of kabayaki sauce.

A production line of artificial grilled eels was officially put into operation, and Li Duoyu became a quality inspector on site, responsible for the quality of the entire production line.

The agreement signed by Li Duoyu and the aquatic product processing factory was: the site rental fee for one production line was 100 yuan.

The processing fee for an eel was 5 cents,

the packaging fee was 10 cents,

and the color printing fee for each packaging bag was 20 cents.

Li Duoyu calculated the cost and found that the site and labor were very cheap, but the packaging and printing took up the bulk.

After all, in this era, there are really few printing machines in a city, let alone machines that can print on plastic packaging bags.

This packaging bag was still run by Director Liu of the aquatic product processing factory, otherwise Li Duoyu would go directly to the printing factory and the printing factory would ignore him.

After five days.

Li Duoyu sold the grilled and packaged eels to Chen Yuansu and An Yuliang at a price of 1.5 yuan each.

After deducting various costs, Li Duoyu did not make much money from the more than 20,000 eels, with a net profit of less than 20,000 yuan. Compared with exporting to Xiao Rizi, the profit is at least half.

However, it is not without benefits. The plastic packaging of those grilled eels is printed with the four big characters of Minlong Food.

And before grilled eel comes on the market.

Xinyuan Aquatic Products Company and Rongcheng United have already carried out advertising. On the day it was launched, there were long queues at every stall selling grilled eels, as well as at supply and marketing cooperatives.

On the first day, more than 2,000 eels were robbed in less than an hour.

This time, Xinyuan Aquatic Products Company and Rongcheng United Distribution Company have a good understanding of each other.

Instead of selling all the grilled eels at once, they release them in batches.

Moreover, the sales of both parties do not overlap. The main positions of Xinyuan Aquatic Products are fish markets and seafood stalls, while the main sales channels of Rongcheng United Distribution Company are supply and marketing cooperatives.

In just a few days, grilled eel has become the most popular product in Rongcheng.

In this era of material scarcity, the smell of grilled eel can really bring people a sense of happiness.

Sweet sauce.

Coupled with the caramelized and soft eel meat, it goes better with rice than braised pork.

For a time, whoever ate grilled eel became the envy of everyone.

Even before the place selling grilled eel opened, there was a long queue, and some people even engaged in scalping.

"I just grabbed it. Do you want it for four yuan? You don't have to queue up. Otherwise, if it's your turn, it will probably be sold out."

The popularity of grilled eel has also attracted the attention of Minlong Food, and everyone is talking about this Minlong Food, which produces grilled eel.

As a result, everyone discovered that this Minlong Food Store was the same store that sold kelp and oysters before, and the village director who often reported it became the focus of everyone's attention.

Someone also joked:

"Li Duoyu, this name is so good, no wonder the business is so big. From now on, my children will just be called Zhang Duojin."

"Then my name is Chen Duofu."

An aunt on the side said with disdain: "What's wrong is that I don't even have a partner, so I just want to name my child."

Zhang Jianhua, who had eaten a hundred and fifty at a Japanese restaurant, finally asked someone to get two grilled eels from the supply and marketing cooperative.

I was planning to use it to honor the class beauty Chen Ziyi, but I didn't expect it. In a blink of an eye, I heard that the company Minlong Food was opened by Li Duoyu, and this grilled eel was his product.

Zhang Jianhua instantly became dejected and cursed constantly. He wanted to throw the roasted eel into the ditch, but after thinking about it, he finally decided to give the roasted eel to the factory leaders.

With the popularity of grilled eels, some merchants who sensed business opportunities followed the addresses on the packaging bags and went to Dandan Island for on-the-spot inspections.

As a tin boat docked.

Old Man Mi, who was sitting by the dock smoking, said directly before the other party could ask questions: "Minlong Food is over there. If you walk over, it will be there in ten minutes." "Thank you, uncle."

Perhaps because of Old Man Mi's unkempt appearance and the fact that he often placed a bucket in front of him, several vendors actually threw several coins into his bucket.

This made Mr. Mi look very dark and wanted to scold him: Do I look like a beggar?

But think about it and forget it.

Old Man Mi picked up the fifty-cent coins in the bucket, wiped them clean, and put them in his pocket. No one can live with money.

But the traders who came to inspect all fell into deep thought after seeing the drafty factory building.

How could such a run-down breeding factory produce such high-end grilled eels?

The fire of grilled eels in Rongcheng also spread to Nanri Town, which is a newly built breeding factory.

Bulldozers and excavators were used in the back to build more than 20 ponds, and there was a two-story office directly in front.

On the iron gate at the front are the words Haixin Eel Breeding Factory.

At this time, a farm vehicle stopped at the big iron gate, and then a young man got out. In his arms, he held five grilled eels that he had bought from scalpers not long ago.

"Manager Zhou, I got the goods."

Not long after, about ten people gathered in the two-story office. Some looked like cadres, some looked like researchers like Chen Dongqing, and even chefs.

After they finished eating the grilled eel, everyone couldn't help but admire it.

"This tastes really good."

"I think we are on the right path. Not only must we do this, but we must also do something special to try to suppress the Minlong Food."

The manager surnamed Zhou asked: "Master Zhang, can you tell what the sauce for this grilled eel is made of?"

The chef named Zhang has been frowning since he ate the grilled eel.

"You can roughly guess that it contains rock sugar, wine flavor, and soy sauce."

Manager Zhou asked directly: "Give me a confirmation, can you make the same recipe?"

Master Zhang was silent for a while, and then said: "I think there are ingredients in this sauce that I don't understand. It's okay to imitate it, but it's probably a bit difficult to make it exactly the same."

After listening to the chef's words, Manager Zhou asked the big village woman beside him:

"Comrade Zhu, you and Li Duoyu have lived under the same roof for so many years. Do you know what ingredients Li Duoyu uses when grilling eel?"

Zhu Xiuhua racked her brains to think back: "I only saw him do it once. When he was grilling eel, he seemed to have prepared a kind of wine, but I don't know what kind of wine it was."

Manager Zhou smiled at the chef and said, "Comrade Zhu has reminded me so far. Next, I will leave the eel sauce recipe to you."

After that, Manager Zhou continued to ask Zhu Xiuhua: "Comrade Zhu, now that our pond has been dug, what should we do next?"

Zhu Xiuhua smiled and said: "I know this. I participated in the entire process of digging the pond. My brother-in-law said that after the pond is dug, it must be disinfected and the water must be maintained."

And at this moment.

In a machinery factory in Rongcheng, several female workers in work clothes opened their lunch boxes and were eating lunch with spoons.

"Jingxiu, take out the grilled eel you grabbed this morning and show it to everyone."

A female worker wearing sleeves said: "I put it in the kettle. I heard that it should be kept in the refrigerator. If there is no refrigerator, it will have to be eaten tonight."

"Let us take a look. We won't eat it for you."

"I don't believe you."

"Sister Yuqin, your husband seems to be from Dandan Island. I heard that this grilled eel is produced in Dandan Island. Does Jinchuan know this Minlong Food?"

Jiang Yuqin smiled and said: "This Minlong Food is the company opened by my brother-in-law."

Several female workers were stunned.

"Really, Sister Yuqin, why didn't you tell us that there is such a powerful person in your family?"

"My Jinchuan is relatively low-key and doesn't like to show off everywhere. Besides, if you know that this is the company opened by my brother-in-law's family, I might have to bring you goods more often in the future."

A younger female worker said coquettishly: "Sister Yuqin, Xiaojun and I didn't get it. It is said that it is almost out of stock. Since it is your brother-in-law's company, can you help us buy some?"

Jiang Yuqin frowned and thought for a while. Recently, the leaders of the factory, for some reason, suddenly paid special attention to Li Jinchuan and were evaluating him for promotion.

If you can get some grilled eels as a favor, it may be beneficial to the evaluation.

"Okay, then I will go back to the island this week. I may not have it, but if I do, I will definitely get it for you."

"Thank you, Sister Yuqin."

At this moment, Jiang Yuqin heard the guard shouting: "Jiang Yuqin, there is your package at the door."

Who sent me something?

When Jiang Yuqin arrived at the gate, he found a very tightly packed foam box, which was quite heavy to hold.

The three big words "Dandan Island" were written on it in crayon. Jiang Yuqin thought that it was his mother-in-law who sent him dry goods again.

Since he married Jinchuan, this new mother-in-law has sent her some squid mothers and some dried clams every once in a while.

It is estimated that she wants to urge her to have another child, but this time the packaging is a little different and particularly heavy.

After Jiang Yuqin opened it, he found that it was covered with a layer of crushed ice. After removing the crushed ice, he found that it was full of frozen grilled eels.

There were more than fifty grilled eels. According to the market price, it would be more than 100 yuan. If calculated according to the scalper price, it would be 200 yuan.

Seeing so many eels, Jiang Yuqin instantly knew who sent them, and he couldn't help but feel a little more grateful.

And the female workers who had just eaten with her all widened their eyes when they saw so many grilled eels in the foam box.

"So many"

"My brother-in-law just sent it."

A young female worker suddenly said: "Sister Yuqin, does your brother-in-law have a girlfriend?"

Jiang Yuqin rolled her eyes and said: "The child is over one year old, and there is a little slut like you. Aren't you dating Chen Gong from the workshop?"

"It's not even a start."

At the gate of Rongcheng compound.

The guard standing guard with a gun at the post said sternly: "You can't go in here."

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Comrade, can you help me call Chef Liu Sanduo and tell him that someone named Li Duoyu is looking for him."

The guard said: "No, you can register, unpack the things and put them here. I will notify him to come out and get them after I make sure they are safe."

After Li Duoyu unpacked the foam box, he said: "There is nothing dangerous. It's all grilled eels."

"Okay, register your identity information, and I will notify Chef Liu Sanduo later."

After Li Duoyu delivered the grilled eels to the guard, he hurried back to the human-powered tricycle.

The tricycle driver couldn't help asking, "Comrade, what's in your foam box? Why are you delivering to these organizations?"

"Nothing, just some small seafood, master, let's go to Rongcheng Fisheries Bureau for the last box."

The master wiped his sweat with a towel:

"It's really a bit of a loss to do this order with you. I've almost run half of Rongcheng, and your things are heavy. Can you add another two cents?"

"Master, this won't work. We agreed at the beginning that there is no such thing as a temporary price increase."

When leaving, Li Duoyu found that the three children at Rongcheng Wharf were no longer catching crabs, but were helping a weak woman sell tofu pudding.

Li Duoyu, who originally liked to eat tofu pudding, wanted to go over and eat a bowl, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it and sailed back to Dandan Island directly. (End of this chapter)
