Chapter 426 Getting better and better (please subscribe)
As long as there are fishermen on Dandan Island, every household has dried fish, and when they go to the fair, they will carry it to the fair to sell.
But the price of dried fish has always been very cheap, because usually fresh fish is not sold, so it is made into dried fish.
Even the best quality dried fish can only be sold for 50 cents per pound.
And Li Duoyu's purchase price was two and a half yuan, which was not high, but really very high.
A fisherman asked: "Director Li, your price is so expensive, so your requirements must be very high."
"Of course." Li Duoyu introduced it to the villagers again with a loudspeaker: "The price is so high, and the requirements are also high. Everyone must catch the right fish. If you catch the wrong fish, I won't accept it."
Li Duoyu took some "fresh" cloves and said, "Let me introduce it to you again. What we are going to catch is a kind of transparent fish. It has many names."
When Li Duoyu introduced it, a group of fishermen started to quarrel because of this fish.
"This is just noodle fish."
"Duoyu, it seems you have only been out for a few hours. Why did you catch so many cloves? Where did you catch them?"
Money is really important. Recently, my uncle's medicine has been extremely expensive, and he feels like he can no longer afford it.
At this moment, all the fishermen with boats have begun to prepare.
This time I met Li Duoyu, who once again made people with boats make a lot of money and continued to widen the gap between the rich and the poor.
Wang Jinshan frowned and said: "Didn't you swear to Dahai that Dahai can't go to the tidal flats, and you can't go into the sea?"
Zhao Dahai looked at the position of the sun and planned to go to Lao Chen to buy the net immediately, and then catch it overnight.
Zhao Erniu glanced at Zhao Dahai and cursed secretly: "You stingy guy, you only get two yuan for a job. Who is willing to work with you?"
"These seem to be dead ends."
Unexpectedly, Lao Lu said something too much.
Zhao Erniu said with a dark face: "If the oath is really useful, there will be no bad people in this world. The most important thing now is to have money. Without money, it is useless."
He really doesn't know how to fish, and usually only dares to fish offshore, but he quite agrees with Zhao Erniu's last sentence.
Zhao Dahai, who bought a dragnet, felt that it would be difficult to catch fish, select fish, and boil fish by himself.
The smile on Lao Chen's face never stopped. Sure enough, he still had to believe in Li Duoyu.
Lao Lu directly invited his son-in-law to go fishing together. The marriage would be equivalent to an extra labor force.
The corner of Zhao Dahai's mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt dumbfounded. This Li Duoyu really knew everything.
There are also some people in the village who hate Li Duoyu to death. Because of him, the gap between them and other people in the village is getting wider and wider.
Wang Jinshan thought carefully.
Old Man Mi looked disgusted.
The last time he set up a net machine, he made a lot of money by selling gill nets, and if all these fine nets were sold, he would also make a lot of money.
Lao Lu said with a dark face: "You don't understand. Our older generation calls this kind of fish sea anchovy. It is seasonal and will be gone in another month.
If you don’t want to go that far, there are quite a few on our island such as Xijia Reef and Badwater Bay. "
Seeing that Lao Lu also understood, Li Duoyu took a loudspeaker and said, "Yes, Lao Lu, you are right."
Liu Xiaolan's brothers hated Li Duoyu very much, and even more hated the "silly dog" who married their sister.
"I'll make you proud."
Then they would have to return the "benefits" given to their brothers by others. When they thought of this, they hated Chen Wenchao until their teeth itched.
He saw that Wang Jinshan was also buying a dragnet. Thinking that he didn't seem to have many friends, he smiled and said, "Jinshan, you rarely go fishing at sea. I have experience in this. How about we cooperate together?"
This kind of fish will rot in two hours after being caught. No wonder many fish have to put a pot on the boat. "
These people have been very close to each other recently. A group of people get together and arrange Li Duoyu's plans behind his back every day.
"That's necessary. I've spent the longest time fishing in our village."
"That's not a noodle fish, that's a small whitebait, a little bigger than this clove fish."
The bad guys just like to hang out together, including Liu Xiaolan's brothers, the dog-selling "Stinky Feet" and Xiao Weidong's parents.
Some are happy and some are sad.
The closer it was to the appearance of the eel fry, the more anxious they became, because by that time, they had not yet spoken to Chen Wenchao.
Mr. Mi said: "This is not noodle fish. After the noodle fish is cooked, it becomes whiter and looks more like noodles."
He shouted directly from the other side of the dock: "Hire two workers, two yuan per day, is there anyone with us?"
Now they are almost the poorest people in the village and cannot find wives at all.
Someone else shouted from a distance: "Old Chen, don't sell all the nets, leave one for me."
Zhao Dahai, who often goes fishing at sea, just took one look at the fish and immediately knew where to catch it.
If everyone were poor, the gap in their hearts would not be so big.
Li Duoyu said directly: "I forgot to tell you, there are more people on the Dinghai Bay side, but that side is other people's territory. Please try not to get too close to avoid being chased away by others.
When he first arrived at Lao Chen's fishing gear store, he didn't expect anyone to move faster than him and he had already started buying nets.
Liu Aguang deliberately mingled with the villagers who didn't have boats and began to ridicule them.
"This Director Li is Director Li from the dock, not Director Li from our mid-level and village end. He only makes money with the people at the dock and never cares about us."
Xiao Weidong's father, Xiao Qingsong, snorted coldly: "This Li Duoyu is constantly exploiting us, sucking our blood, and making us work for him so that he can make a lot of money."
Stinky Foot quickly echoed:
"That's right, I just reported his sister's third child last time. What did I do wrong? I was beaten twice by his group of friends. He is simply a village bully, worse than the Wang brothers before."
And those who felt disappointed were encouraged by these people. Although they knew that these people were not good people, they actually agreed with what they said.
It seems that they were not wrong. Since Li Duoyu became the village director, the gap between them and those rich people has become larger and larger.
Seeing those who have boats start to make a lot of money again, but they can't make money, this feeling is more uncomfortable than killing themselves.
Liu Aguang and Choujiao thought they had found a few like-minded friends and wanted to win them over to join the "anti-Li Duoyu" organization, so that they could jointly report him.
But unexpectedly, Li Duoyu shouted with a loudspeaker: "Those who don't have a boat, don't worry, this kind of fish is easy to catch. There are also fish in the evil water beach. Although there are not so many, you can still catch them without a boat."
"In addition, when I was sorting out our brigade warehouse not long ago, I found a mountain net. When the time comes, I will lend you this boat and the mountain net of the previous brigade, and you can still make money."
After hearing this.
The villagers who were originally disappointed in their hearts were instantly excited, and some even applauded on the spot.
Several young people whistled, and some shouted: "Director Li, awesome."
"Really a good director."
The villagers who originally agreed with Liu Aguang wanted to slap themselves twice at this moment.
"Ganni."
"I was almost fooled by you guys and missed the opportunity to make money."
Choujiao said anxiously: "Haisheng, don't be fooled again. With so many people and a mountain-pulling net, how much money can you make?"
"A few dollars is still money, it's better than no money." Chen Haisheng said sarcastically: "You guys are not upright, you deserve to be poor and can't get married."
Liu Aguang and others were very upset. They thought they had found teammates again, but unexpectedly, Li Duoyu only used some petty profits to make them grateful immediately.
"Director Li, my two brothers also want to sign up for the mountain-pulling net."
Seeing a large group of people surrounding him, Li Duoyu, who was holding a loud speaker, was quite headache:
"I only have one mouth and two ears. In the future, please don't come to me for everything. You can find Chen Wenchao. I'll leave this matter to him. You can just find him." Chen Wenchao panicked instantly. He didn't expect Brother Yu to hand over the whole thing to him. The acquisition of the entire clove fish was definitely not a small amount.
He was really afraid of making mistakes and causing trouble. In the two years he worked for Brother Yu, he was responsible for some simple tasks.
"Brother Yu, I..."
But before he could say anything, he was immediately glared at by Li Duoyu, who said with a bit of disdain: "Do you think my salary is so easy to get? Do more work and use your brain."
Someone on the side immediately laughed and said:
"Xiao Chao, Director Li is training you. Why don't you understand? If it doesn't work, just let me work for Duoyu instead."
Chen Wenchao naturally knew that Brother Yu was training him. Among those who followed him, he was the most useless at the moment.
The second brother Li Yaoguo was an accountant and managed the entire eel factory. Zhang Mingsheng had strong organizational skills. If I was right, the crab pond should be under his management next.
At present, he was responsible for the least things. Chen Wenchao lowered his head and thought for a while, then said seriously: "Brother Yu, I'll try it."
Li Duoyu patted Chen Wenchao on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous, just take your time."
Li Duoyu shouted with a loud speaker: "I have something to do, I'm leaving first, if you have any questions, just find Xiaochao directly."
Seeing so many people surrounding him, Chen Wenchao suddenly felt a little panic and at a loss, his head was empty, and he had no idea what to do next.
Fortunately, at this time, Liu Xiaolan, who was holding a child, squeezed over and said with a smile: "Let me help you."
"How many people are needed to pull the mountain net? Let's see how many people sign up first."
Seeing his wife coming, Chen Wenchao instantly had a bottom line, and imitated Li Duoyu's appearance, and said in a deep voice: "If you want to pull the mountain net, come to me first to sign up, up to 30."
After Li Duoyu left the dock, he didn't expect that several people from Chenjia Village would trot over to ask him.
"Director Li, we are from the next village. If we also go to catch anchovies, will you accept them?"
Li Duoyu smiled:
"Of course I will. We are all from the same island. We are not enemies. There is no reason not to accept them. When you go back, tell the people in your village."
"Got it. Thank you Director Li."
In fact, the anchovies season is not long. There are only more than 20 days left. Li Duoyu also wants to collect more anchovies during this period.
The order of Director Liu is not small. If the quantity is not enough, it will be a bit embarrassing.
If the fishermen of the entire Dandan Island are mobilized to catch anchovies, then the foreign trade order should be completed.
Li Duoyu returned to the eel factory and found that his second brother was holding Li Haoran's whip for whipping tops, and he would whip the air from time to time.
It made a "snap" sound.
It scared away the wild cats and seabirds that came to eat the dried anchovies. The most annoying thing about drying anchovies is wild cats and birds coming to eat them, so someone must watch over them.
After seeing Duoyu coming back.
Li Yaoguo couldn't help asking: "This little fish is so expensive. The purchase price for one catty is two dollars and fifty cents."
Although he was his brother, Li Duoyu didn't tell him that the price offered by Director Liu was even more outrageous, five dollars per catty.
"Normally it's not so expensive, but this is a foreign trade order, it's urgent, so the price is higher."
Li Yaoguo was surprised: "Did you take the foreign trade order?"
"No, a friend took it, and I made a little money from it."
"Is that so? That's good."
Li Duoyu, who came to the eel factory, was not idle, but picked the anchovies. Even though he had picked them once, there were still many other small fish mixed in.
In addition, due to the cooking process, many anchovies broke and became defective, which had to be picked out.
He knew the character and urine of the islanders very well. If he directly followed the highest standards at the beginning.
Then it would be easy to get along with them, and they could even continue to sign the order immediately. If the standards were not met, even if there was cooperation in the future, they would find ways to find faults.
Li Duoyu picked them casually, and after picking out the defective anchovies, he directly reduced the price by one-quarter.
This is also one of the reasons why Li Duoyu lowered the price. After all, when he came here, he had to control the yield rate.
"Brother, maybe you need to do me a favor. In a few days, we may receive a large number of anchovies. When Xiaochao buys the fish, you can find some people to control the quality and try to make the whole fish intact."
"Sure, no problem."
Li Yaoguo suddenly said: "Duoyu, I just received a letter. Your sister-in-law said she will be back in two days."
"Come back if you want. There is no need to tell me."
Li Yaoguo sighed: "I am afraid that she will talk nonsense again. I will give you a shot in advance to avoid chaos again."
Li Duoyu looked at his second brother's sad face and smiled: "Did my sister-in-law say that she would have a second child immediately after she made money?"
Li Yaoguo widened his eyes.
"How did you know? She told you too."
Li Duoyu smiled and did not answer.
Li Yaoguo sighed: "Duoyu, do you think their eel factory is so big and they have hired so many experts, can it succeed?"
"I have met the experts in my sister-in-law's factory. As for whether it can succeed, I don't know. It depends on God's will."
Li Yaoguo is different from Zhu Xiuhua. The more he comes into contact with eels, the more difficult it is to raise them. However, his wife has learned a little bit and thinks she has learned a lot.
Li Yaoguo couldn't help asking: "Then does our eel factory also depend on God's will?"
Li Duoyu thought for a while and replied seriously:
"It's almost the same, but our eel factory may be better. God's will and breeding technology are 50-50."
Li Yaoguo smiled and said: "That's good."
After leaving the eel factory, Li Duoyu did not go home, but came to Beilanling.
From a geographical point of view, there are more flat lands here. Compared with this side, Xiasha Village looks like a terraced field.
Here in Beilanling, Li Duoyu saw the ruins of several stone houses with only half a meter left.
It was full of round sheep feces and some messy garbage.
Hours later, Li Duoyu heard from the old people in the village that a long time ago, a group of people wanted to settle in Beilanling.
Because this place is closest to Qingkou Wharf, it can save a lot of time if you start from here.
But because the sea breeze is too strong, it often overturns the thatched roof they built, so they gave up later.
Li Duoyu came to the highest point of Beilanling. The wind here is really strong, and his hair was blown up.
But now it is different from before. If the wind is strong, you can directly build a brick house with inverted boards, so you don’t have to worry about the roof being overturned.
If this flat land is used well, it may be a good place in the future.
And at this moment, Li Duoyu heard a strange voice.
"Shanshan, I really like you."
Looking in the direction of the voice.
Li Duoyu saw a thin young man sitting on the stone and drinking.
After drinking, he threw the beer bottle into the sea and yelled: "Ah~~"
Li Duoyu yelled: "Don't throw beer bottles randomly, pick them up quickly. If the bottle breaks and someone pricks their foot, I will find you first."
The young man was startled, and after seeing Li Duoyu, he froze in place, embarrassed and wanted to find a crack to crawl into.
