Chapter 410 The Fleet Loses Money (1/2)

Li Duoyu really didn't expect it.

These students actually came to the pier to wait for him. These students may not have very good grades, but they got along best with him.

Sometimes, Li Duoyu would secretly buy wine and peanuts into his dormitory. Because of this, Li Duoyu was often complained by teachers.

"How do you know I'm here?"

The student named Zeng Daqiang scratched his head and said: "Teacher Li, we went to find you this morning. The dormitory master said that you just left this morning.

We divided into three groups to look for you. We came to the fishing port and some people went to the train station and bus station. We were lucky enough to meet you here. "

Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment.

It was really touching. The string in my heart felt tingling after being played by something.

Seeing the smiling faces of the students in front of him, Li Duoyu felt sincerely happy. He had no literary talent and could not think of any elegant words.

There is only one sentence in my mind.

【Replace sincerity with sincerity. 】

One of them, named Shouhou, held a can of pickles and handed it to Li Duoyu: "Teacher Li, this is the sour bamboo shoots made by my mother. It is very delicious."

"You still have to steam the rice yourself, just keep it for yourself."

The thin monkey said: "My mother said that if you teach us those practical things, I must give you the sour bamboo shoots. If you don't accept it, my mother will scold me to death."

"Thanks then."

Li Duoyu had no choice but to accept it.

Several older students asked: "Teacher Li, when will you come to see us again?"

Li Duoyu thought for a moment: "For details, we have to wait for the school's arrangements, probably next year."

"Ah, next year?"

"Next year, we'll graduate."

Li Duoyu smiled: "It's okay, as long as you are engaged in breeding, we will meet sooner or later."

Zeng Daqiang scratched his head and said, "Teacher Li, if we encounter someone who doesn't understand something in the future, can we come to the island to ask you for advice?"

Li Duoyu frowned and said: "I remember that your family is engaged in breeding. When you graduate, we may be in a competitive relationship. If you come to me for advice in the future, you will be charged a consulting fee."

"Ah" Zeng Daqiang opened his mouth wide and asked with a frown: "Teacher Li, is your consultation fee expensive?"

"Expensive, very expensive. Most people can't afford it. It costs at least several hundred at a time."

"It's so expensive, my family can't even make a few hundred yuan a year."

Shouhou suddenly realized: "Then if we take the teacher's class for a month, wouldn't we have made thousands of dollars in vain?"

After hearing this, Li Duoyu couldn't help but laugh. In a sense, it was true.

"However, as long as the students I have taught come to me for consultation after graduation, there will be a discount."

"What a discount."

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "If you want to consult me ​​in the future, come and help me work for two days, and I will give you a free consultation."

After hearing this, Zeng Daqiang's bitter face changed into a smile.

"Teacher Li, two days is not enough. It needs two weeks anyway."

Li Duoyu rolled his eyes and said, "I think you want to go to Dandan Island to eat and sleep."

"Hahaha."

After chatting with this group of students for a while, Li Duoyu looked at his watch and frowned: "It should be class time now, how did you come out? If other teachers know that you skipped class to see me off, I guess next semester, I really can’t come and teach you.”

Several students' faces darkened.

"Teacher Li, we will go back immediately."

"Teacher Li, goodbye."

Seeing the big boys running very fast one by one, Li Duoyu shouted: "Run slower and be careful with the car."

"Okay, Teacher Li."

After these students left, a young man who smoked from the fishing port came over and said, "Teacher Li, so many students are sending you gifts. It seems that you are a very popular teacher."

Li Duoyu said stinkingly:

"That's for sure. If I hadn't gotten married yet, the ones who came to see me off today would probably be female students and female teachers."

"I remember this sentence. I'll tell Xiaoying when I get back."

"Brother, I was wrong."

"At this time, you know how to call me brother."

Li Duoyu smiled and asked, "How was your harvest this month?"

Li Shuguang sighed: "I'm having bad luck this month. I guess it's hard to even maintain capital."

Li Duoyu frowned slightly and did not continue to ask. At the fishing port dock, many fishing boats were queuing up to unload their cargo.

Most of them were fishing boats from Ludao and Xiangcheng, and there were relatively few fishing boats from other places. Li Duoyu waited for almost half an hour.

Finally it was the turn of Uncle San’s tugboat.

As soon as the ship docked.

Li Duoyu immediately boarded the fishing boat. When everyone saw what he was wearing, his uncle couldn't help laughing and said, "Oh, isn't this Teacher Li?"

Chen Liang smiled and said: "Teacher Li, are the female teachers in the school pretty?"

"That goes without saying."

Chen Liang came over and smelled Li Duoyu's body, with an envious expression on his face.

"Damn, she's really feminine. She must hang out with female students and teachers every day. Unlike me, I can only watch a dozen lazy guys who don't even want to take a shower every day."

As soon as Chen Liang finished speaking, his father patted his head on the spot: "You are talking nonsense. You are the dirtiest person on the ship. You are too lazy to wash your clothes."

Li Duoyu glanced at the barrel squid in a basket on the deck and found that the skin of the squid was torn and the appearance was quite ugly.

“Uncle Third, are all these squids caught with trawl nets?”

Third uncle Li Zhengfa nodded, naturally knowing what Li Duoyu wanted to ask.

"Our fleet usually goes upstream, and rarely comes to Dongshan Sea to fish for squid. I thought it was easy, but squid is not easy to fish. Later, there was no choice but to use trawl nets."

"Squid is really hard to fish, it is easier to troll."

After the trawler docked.

The crew moved baskets of squid to the dock, but a few fishmongers came and looked at their squids and left with disgust.

At noon, the sun was very strong, and Uncle San was afraid that the squid would go bad, so he shoveled some ice cubes to cover the baskets.

While selling squid, a boat boss who knew him sneered:

"The skin is broken, and it can't be sold at a high price. If you don't know how to fish squid, you should learn it well. What you do is a complete waste of squid. You also drive three boats here at once. What's the use of a good fishing boat? The most important thing for fishing is technology."

Although Uncle San was very unhappy, the other party was not wrong, so he could only smile awkwardly.

After waiting for a long time, I finally found a fishmonger who was willing to talk to me. Unexpectedly, he lowered the price very much.

"Your skin is broken, caught by trawl net, I can only give you 8 cents per kilogram at most."

Uncle San said bitterly: "10 cents, 8 cents, I don't even have enough money for diesel."

The fishmonger said disdainfully: "The broken skin ones are all priced this way. If you sell your appearance to those who dry squid, they may not buy it. My 8 cents is already high. If you meet a black-hearted person, I can only charge you the price of miscellaneous fish."

The uncle who heard the price on the side suddenly felt a little sad when he heard that he was charged the price of miscellaneous fish.

"Duoyu, why don't you try to change it, maybe you can get a higher price."

"It's useless to change me this time. The price of this one with such severe skin damage will definitely not go up."

The uncle sighed: "Okay, 30-40 cents per pound, and 8 cents for a broken skin. Why are people so picky now? This one with a broken skin does not affect the taste and saves the skin." Li Duoyu knew very well that the country has changed a lot in the past few years, especially in the coastal areas, where there are more and more people with an annual income of 10,000 yuan and their lives are getting better and better, not to mention the Ludao Special Economic Zone.

It can be said that after the reform and opening up, during the honeymoon period with Amei, the country has changed almost every year.

And everyone is very hard-working, because if you don't work hard, you may be left behind by a large margin.

In the end, the broken squid was sold at a price of 8 cents. After selling ten loads of squid, minus the weight of the basket, it was less than 80 yuan.

Because the harvest this month was so poor, the crew did not dare to go ashore for a feast. For the whole month, they cooked their own meals on the boat.

The chef, Lao Zhuang, knocked on the iron basin and shouted, "It's time to eat."

As soon as he opened the lid of the pot, a strong smell of squid rushed out.

Hei Gou and Chen Liang, who had been eating squid for a month, really wanted to vomit after smelling that smell.

Even if they were eating it with soy sauce, the two didn't want to eat it anymore.

Chen Liang took a bite of the squid and said expressionlessly, "Damn it, the more I eat this thing, the more it feels like eating shit. It's soft, soft, and black inside."

After hearing his description, a group of old fishermen who were eating squid turned black in an instant. His father came over and knocked him on the head with the bottom of the bowl.

"Don't talk nonsense. I've only eaten squid for a month. You uncles and I used to eat hairtail rice for three or four months."

After hearing this,

Second uncle's face darkened: "Old Chen, I had forgotten everything, but now that you reminded me, I remember everything. At that time, Lin Bei had diarrhea for three months."

"Hahaha."

Li Duoyu also served a bowl of rice. To be honest, there is really no difference between the taste of squid with and without skin, as long as they are fresh enough.

On the contrary, when he eats squid, he especially likes to tear off the outer layer of skin, because that layer of skin has a little fishy smell.

Li Duoyu had just opened the can of sour bamboo shoots that his students gave him, and half of the people on the boat surrounded him instantly.

After a while.

The can of sour bamboo shoots was picked up by everyone.

Chen Liang, who was eating sour bamboo shoots, almost cried: "Brother Yu, where did you buy this sour bamboo shoot? I have never eaten such delicious sour bamboo shoots since I was a child."

Li Shuguang laughed and said: "The female teacher gave it to him, and you ate up the things given by others in one go."

"Fuck, no wonder it is so sour."

"Hahaha."

After eating, Li Duoyu asked his cousin Li Shuguang: "How did you catch squid before? Why didn't you catch it?"

"I used a row of hooks."

Li Duoyu frowned slightly: "Let me see the row of hooks you used."

Li Shuguang brought out a large wooden barrel basin, and when Li Duoyu saw the row of hooks, he immediately found the problem.

These row of hooks were actually ordinary fish hooks, not special hooks for squid fishing.

The moment he saw these fishing gear, Li Duoyu understood the problem. It seems that Uncle San is not very good at squid fishing.

However, Li Duoyu did not expose it on the spot. After all, the captain of the ship wants face and prestige. If he said it out loud, some crew members would inevitably think he was not good enough.

According to the original schedule, after picking up Li Duoyu and eating this meal, the fleet will return to the island.

In the cab, Uncle San checked the bills for this month. The more he checked, the uglier his face became, but he was more unwilling to accept it.

In that sea area, those who fished squid with them made a lot of money, and only their fishing boats were losing money.

And when we were trawling, we even damaged someone else’s hook that was used to catch squid. The other party came over to demand compensation and even wanted to beat someone.

Fortunately, there were enough ships on their side. When the three ships approached, the other party was frightened, but in the end they still lost more than 100 yuan to the other party.

He has been fishing for 20 to 30 years and has always made money. He has almost never lost money. He did not expect that he would lose money this time.

Third uncle Li Zhengfa saw Li Duoyu looking at the hooks and called him to the cab: "Duoyu, are you anxious to go back to Dandan Island? I don't know how to catch squid. I want to do one last round."

Li Duoyu thought for a while.

If you use these ordinary row hooks on the boat, you will definitely not be able to catch squid.

The row hooks specially used to catch squid are different from ordinary hooks. They are not bottom-sinking, but have foam boards.

Although it is not troublesome to make, if we do it now, even if there are so many people on the ship, it will take at least three days to complete.

Moreover, the squid fishing season is coming to an end soon, so there is absolutely no need to buy special fishing gear for squid fishing at this time.

Li Duoyu glanced at his third uncle and found that he looked unwilling.

"I can fish for squid, but these rows of hooks on the boat are definitely useless. If you want to catch them, I have to build a new fishing rig."

The third uncle instantly became energetic. After two years of getting along with him, he was already very familiar with this nephew.

If he says his technique is not very good, then it means his technique is 100% very good. If he says he can fish, then he must be very good at fishing.

"Okay, you can do it. I'll pay for the fishing group this time. Damn it, if you don't catch the squid, I'll still be holding my breath."

Li Duoyu smiled: "Uncle Third, there should be a searchlight for squid fishing on our boat."

"This has."

"Then there should be no problem. You guys wait for me at the pier. Shuguang and I are going to buy fishing gear."

"OK."

Li Duoyu went to a fishing gear store near the fishing port and directly bought out all the squid hooks in the store that were specially used to hook squid.

It's a pity that there is no luminous wooden shrimp hook now, otherwise the effect would be better. If you make wooden shrimp now, it will definitely be too late.

Li Duoyu went directly to the pier and bought some cheap sword shrimps and small fish to replace the wooden shrimps.

When returning to the ship, Li Duoyu bought Ludao pickled mustard, more than 20 kilograms of ribs and some vegetables.

When Li Duoyu returned to the boat, he saw that Li Duoyu had bought so many delicious food. Chen Liang was so moved that he almost cried: "Brother Yu, how about you become my father."

As soon as Chen Liang finished speaking, his father didn't hit him on the head this time, but kicked him directly.

"Why are you kicking me? I am the foster father again."

Lao Chen thought for a while.

"You can have a godfather, but not a biological father. Otherwise, if you have children in the future, whose surname will you take?"

"Hahaha."

The whole crew of the ship laughed. Although Chen Liang was lazy, he was very interesting. Since he came, the crew has been very happy every day.

Li Zhengfa said to everyone: "This time, I did make a mistake and didn't let everyone make money. I discussed it with Duoyu and we will finally build a boat. If it doesn't work, we will go back."

When he heard that he wanted to build another ship, Chen Liang's face instantly darkened and he muttered.

The next second.

Realizing that his father was behind him, he put his head in his hands, and sure enough, he slapped his hands.

Li Duoyu directly taught everyone how to tie string hooks. There are almost five hooks in each string, and the distance between each hook is half a meter.

"There are many fish, don't put the row hook this time, just catch it by hand?"

Li Duoyu nodded: "Fishing by hand."

"Okay, we believe you."

A group of old fishermen imitated Li Duoyu and tied string hooks on the spot. But while they were tying, the uncle couldn't help but ask:

"This fishhook of yours is quite strange. It doesn't even have barbs. Can it catch a squid?"

Li Duoyu explained: "Squid hooks do not need barbs. Squids are very stupid. They only know how to move forward and cannot reverse. As long as they are hooked, they will run in one direction and generally cannot escape. "

"Really or not, I've been fishing for most of my life, and only now do I know that squid can't reverse." (End of Chapter)
