Chapter 406 First Lesson (1/2)

After Li Duoyu stepped onto the Ludao Wharf, his uncle, uncle, Li Shuguang and their boats continued to go south.

Ludao Wharf is directly opposite the west side of the island, which is Gulangyu, known as the "International Architecture Expo".

It is only a few hundred meters away.

Looking across the sea, you can still clearly see that there are all foreign houses on it. In fact, the area along the street of Ludao Wharf is also full of foreign houses.

Li Duoyu does not know much about history. He only knows that Gulangyu, like Yantai Mountain in Rongcheng, was originally full of consulates and was where "foreign masters" lived. Later, it seems that many overseas Chinese built villas and manors on it.

When Li Duoyu came before, there was no water on the island, and fresh water could only be transported there by water supply ships. Life was very difficult.

This also caused many indigenous people on the island to abandon Gulangyu and run to Ludao to live.

As soon as Li Duoyu got on the island.

Seeing him dressed as a "cadre", many wild guides immediately ran over.

"Comrade, is this your first time to visit Ludao? I can take you to Gulangyu. Take our boat, which is cheaper than the ferry. I can introduce you to the history of Ludao for free."

"Lin Bei, I grew up here, and I still need you to take me."

Most people in Ludao speak Minnan dialect, and his mother is from Chenjia Village and can speak it, so Li Duoyu has learned a little since he was a child.

After hearing this, Ye Dao's face fell instantly, and he cursed:

"So it's a local monkey."

Li Duoyu said disdainfully: "You bunch of outsiders, go back to your homes quickly."

Such friendly greetings often happen in Ludao, especially on Gulangyu, because Gulangyu has had running water in the past two years.

The entire Ludao has also become a special economic zone.

Many tourists come to the island to travel, and they all like to go to Gulangyu.

Many people who originally moved to the island want to go back, but they find that Gulangyu has been occupied by outsiders.

As a result, locals and outsiders often quarrel there and curse each other, and this curse has been going on for decades.

But as they kept scolding, the locals became a rare species. Unlike Rongcheng, Ludao is an immigrant city, and the number of foreigners far exceeds the locals.

Li Duoyu is not a person who likes to visit scenic spots, and did not go to Zhongshan Road, where there are many shops nearby, but went to the nearby fish market.

Not far from Ludao Pier is Kaihe Road, which is generally called the Eighth Market by locals, or "Eighth Market" for short.

I heard that there were ten markets in Ludao before, but they were all shut down later, leaving only the Eighth Market.

A very small road.

Before you get close, you can smell the strong smell of seafood, and all kinds of sewage are flowing on the ground.

There are many islanders riding bicycles, shuttling around the Eighth Market. There are also many outsiders pulling seawater on carts, shouting in Mandarin: "Seawater, seawater, who wants seawater? I also have ice cubes, who wants it?"

A vendor waved at him and said: "Give me two buckets, and a box of ice cubes."

Because it is very close to the pier, most of the seafood here is purchased by the stall owners themselves at the pier. There are no middlemen to make a profit, so the price is much cheaper.

Li Duoyu asked:

"Abei, how much is this hairtail?"

The vendor replied:

"Big eyes are one pound and one dime, small eyes are three cents."

Li Duoyu deliberately said: "Why are small eyes more expensive?"

"I can tell at a glance that you are not from our local area. Small eyes hairtail are from Zhoushan and Bohai, with a lot of meat and solid, big eyes are from the South China Sea, and the meat is more juicy."

I didn't expect this vendor to be quite honest, and he didn't fool people casually. In the past life, many vendors often fooled people with big eyes hairtail.

What they said: The bigger the fish, the better it tastes.

But in fact, those big-eyed hairtails are tropical hairtails, which are relatively large in size and have very watery meat. When frying hairtails, it is particularly easy to rot the fish meat.

There are many kinds of seafood in the fish market, which may be due to the season of barrel squid and hairtail, and there are many of these two kinds of fish.

In addition to seafood, the Eighth Market also sells various agricultural products. What makes Li Duoyu drool from time to time is the various ducks.

There are stalls selling [Longhai Salted Duck] on both sides from time to time, but the most fragrant one should be [Guankou Ginger Duck].

You can smell the fragrance across the street. The fragrance of ginger slices and duck mixed together, and it feels like you can eat several bowls of rice.

But Li Duoyu walked around and finally did not eat duck, but found a roadside stall and ate "Shacha Noodles".

This thing can be regarded as a "special snack" unique to the island, but there is no tea in Shacha.

It is just a transliteration. The authentic name should be "Satay", and this thing is not a local seasoning.

And there is a story.

A long time ago, there was a fisherman's family. The father died early and the mother raised her son alone.

The son was rescued by an Indonesian merchant ship after a storm at sea and worked as a chef on the ship. There he learned to use a condiment called shacha.

Many years later, the son returned to his hometown to cook for his mother, but there was no salt at home, so he sprinkled the shacha powder he brought back on the noodles as salt.

As a result, after trying it, the mother thought that this condiment was particularly delicious, so shacha became popular on the island.

Li Duoyu also ordered a shacha noodle, which tasted really good and had a Southeast Asian flavor.

The taste of shacha is really good, a little sweet, but also a little spicy. It is really delicious when paired with fresh gun barrel fish rings, clams and shrimps.

After Li Duoyu finished eating the noodles.

He also drank up the soup.

After paying 80 cents, we headed to Ludao Fisheries Science and Technology School.

This school is over Tiyu Road.

It's not too far from Bashi, just across the Yuandang Lake.

This lake was originally connected to the sea, but in the 1970s, for some unknown reason, a dam was built at the entrance of the lake, directly turning Yuandang Lake into a "stagnant water."

Li Duoyu originally wanted to walk around Yuandang Lake, but as soon as he got closer, he smelled a smell of foul water.

Looking from a distance, there are all kinds of algae growing on the lake, and even seabirds are rarely seen.

Li Duoyu remembered that when he came here with Agui, the lake water was relatively clean. How could it have become like this in just a few years? It was almost the same as the smelly ditch in the inner river of Rongcheng.

Li Duoyu carried his suitcase and walked around the lake for about an hour before arriving at Ludao Fisheries Science and Technology School.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Li Duoyu saw many students in colorful clothes. Many girls were wearing knee-length skirts and colorful hairbands on their heads.

After Li Duoyu arrived at the security room at the door, he quickly took out the employment letter given to him by the school without waiting for the guard to ask questions.

After the guard read it, he said with a smile on his face: "It turns out to be Teacher Li, please come inside, please come inside."

Smelling the smell of cigarette smoke on the guard's body, Li Duoyu handed him a cigarette: "I just arrived. Can I ask where Director Liu from the Academic Affairs Office is?"

After taking the cigarette, the uncle pointed to the building in front and said, "Director Liu, he is on the second floor of the building in front. There is a sign of Academic Affairs Office, which is his office."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. If anything happens in the future, just call me."

Li Duoyu followed the direction pointed by the guard and came to the Academic Affairs Office.

There are two teachers inside.

One looks to be in his forties, but already has a Mediterranean hairstyle, and the other looks to be a few years older than Li Duoyu.

Li Duoyu knocked on the door.

"Is Director Liu here?"

The middle-aged Mediterranean man looked at Li Duoyu in front of him for a few times, then quickly picked up the newspaper on the table and looked at it, and said in surprise:

"I am Liu Lingfang, and you are Director Li Duoyu, right?"

"Director Liu, just call me Xiao Li." "I'm really sorry that you are so busy and I invited you to give lectures in our school."

"It's okay, I just have a lot of free time in the past two months." Li Duoyu would not say that he had to come because he wanted to give Director Wu face.

However, what Li Duoyu didn't expect was that when the two of them were chatting politely, the young man in his early thirties suddenly became angry and even full of hostility towards Li Duoyu.

"I never thought that someone who had never even attended a junior college and had a diploma from junior high school would really dare to come to teach in our school."

The person who came here is not kind!

Li Duo was smiling but not smiling. He looked at the young man in front of him and felt that this kind of person was really stupid. Even if he didn't like it, he could just arrange it behind my back. There was no need to get angry in front of him.

I have a low diploma.

But I’m awesome!

Li Duoyu didn't tolerate him and asked directly: "Director Liu, if I came here suddenly like this, did I take away this teacher's job?"

"No matter what, Director Li can come to our school and it's too late to welcome him."

Director Liu looked at the young man with a dark face and almost poked him with his finger.

"I'm really sorry for making you laugh. The main reason is that Teacher Zhang wrote to you before to ask for advice on eel farming, but you refused."

Li Duoyu frowned and thought seriously for a while.

"So many people asked me for advice, and they all rejected it. I really forgot when Teacher Zhang asked me for advice."

The young teacher surnamed Zhang was so angry that his hands were shaking. Seeing Li Duoyu's arrogant look, he was so angry that he wanted to continue to be arrogant.

But Director Liu shouted loudly to stop him.

"Zhang Xuejin, can you be a little wise? Director Li was recommended by Director Wu and was begged by our school. Do you want Principal Yang to come and talk to you in person?"

After Director Liu finished speaking, he continued to apologize and said: "Director Li, I'm really sorry that I left such a bad impression on you when you first arrived at our school. You probably don't have a place to stay yet. I'll take you there first." Teachers’ dormitory, get familiar with the campus environment.”

Li Duoyu glanced at Teacher Zhang and said calmly: "It's okay, I'm used to it. There are so many people in this world who are petty, so it's normal to meet one or two."

Zhang Xuejin was really furious, his chest heaving with anger: "Who are you beating around the bush and cursing?"

"I'm not swearing. Don't worry about being right. I'm just saying that there are a lot of stupid people in the world."

"Director Li, let me take you to the dormitory first."

Liu Lingfang smiled awkwardly, and quickly took Li Duoyu out of the teaching room. At the same time, she also gave Li Duoyu a label:

This guy is difficult to deal with, so don't mess with him.

Under the leadership of Director Liu.

Li Duoyu came to the dormitory. It was actually the same as the student dormitory. The only difference was that the students shared dormitories.

And he was in a single room with a double-decker iron bed and a table with a hot water bottle on it.

"Teacher Li, we have a cafeteria, a place dedicated to steaming rice, and a cafeteria."

Li Duoyu briefly looked at the textbook and found that it was quite simple and he should be able to master it.

After the introduction.

Director Liu said: "The school will arrange a class for you at that time, mainly talking about your experience in breeding in the past two years."

Under the guidance of Director Liu, Li Duoyu walked around the school. At present, the school mainly focuses on two majors.

One is aquaculture.

The other is ship repair.

The aquaculture base used to be in Yundang Lake, but since Yundang Lake was polluted, it has been moved outside.

Li Duoyu looked at the textbook and found that the content was not very difficult, and Li Duoyu could even find many mistakes, but overall, it was still good.

At night, the school was very lively. There were no mobile phones in this era. Everyone was either studying in the dormitory or playing on the playground.

Li Duoyu heard the sound of the guitar.

At ten o'clock.

The music of turning off the lights sounded, and then all the lights in the student dormitories were turned off, and very civilized voices came from the boys' dormitory.

The lights in Li Duoyu's teacher's dormitory were still on. Li Duoyu also took a washbasin and a towel and prepared to take a shower in the bathroom.

It was rare to take such a hearty shower. There was no shower head, but a stream of water rushed down.

At the small window next to the bathroom, several students were smoking secretly there, and they kept staring at the opposite building.

"It's dark, what's so good about it."

"You don't understand this. Last time in the middle of the night, I really saw a woman wearing underwear and hanging clothes out."

"You are bragging."

"I lied to you that I was standing upside down and eating shit."

At this time, a flashlight shone over, and a girl cursed: "You are really perverted, what's so good about wearing clothes."

A group of people were scared and scattered instantly. These people finally noticed Li Duoyu who was taking a shower.

"Classmate, did you just transfer here? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "I really just transferred here."

"Classmate, what major are you in."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Aquaculture."

"Then we are in the same major."

A group of students said to Li Duoyu, "Then you may have to call me senior."

Li Duoyu smiled.

"Classmate, which dormitory do you live in?"

"The one at the end of the corridor."

"You must be kidding. Those are teachers' dormitories. How can you be a teacher?"

Everyone looked at Li Duoyu and found that he was indeed quite strong, with stubble, and looked quite mature. Most importantly, he was quite big down there.

Li Duoyu suddenly said, "Classmate, which dormitory do you live in?"

Did they all run away in an instant?

Next, in the past two days, Li Duoyu racked his brains to write a speech. To be honest, writing this stuff is much more difficult than doing breeding.

It took two full days to write three manuscripts.

On the third day.

Director Liu Linfang came to see him.

Li Duoyu thought it was just a small classroom, with only 30 or 40 people.

But he didn't expect it to be a chapel.

Not only were there students sitting below, but there were also school teachers and leaders, and even researchers from the Ludao Fisheries Research Institute. What Li Duoyu didn't expect the most was that Director Wu also came.

"Now, please welcome Director Li from Xiasha Village. He is the first person in Fujian Province to cultivate kelp and a pioneer in eel cultivation. He once went to the island country with an inspection team and gained a lot of valuable cultivation experience."

"Next, let's give Director Li a warm round of applause and give him a speech."

"Pa pa pa."

The warm applause continued, but Li Duoyu couldn't help cursing in his heart: Damn. (End of this chapter)
