Chapter 434 In Short, It Is a Win-Win Situation (1/2)

After dealing with the blue crabs.

The matter is not over yet, Li Duoyu also sprinkled a lot of quicklime in the two ponds in front.

It has to be said that for the aquaculture industry, quicklime is really a very useful thing.

After being sprinkled in the pond, the quicklime will react quickly with the water and release a lot of heat, but this heat will not kill the bacteria.

The main thing is that after sprinkling the quicklime, the water after the reaction will be strongly alkaline, thereby achieving the effect of killing bacteria and parasites.

After Li Duoyu sprinkled the quicklime, he planned to dry it for ten days and a half months, and then use it directly as a shrimp pond.

It is indeed not easy to do aquaculture in this era, but there are also advantages, that is, the competitiveness is small.

Now the organization has subsidies, most aquaculture seedlings are very cheap, and the cost of trial and error is very low.

Although the blue crabs in two ponds died, Li Duoyu calculated that he did not lose much money. A total of 100,000 crab seedlings were put into these two ponds, which added up to about 1,000 yuan.

The various shellfish and snail feeds used for more than two months added up to only about 700 yuan, and the labor cost was roughly 300 yuan.

The actual loss is only about 2,000 yuan, but the return rate is very high if the disease does not occur.

Li Duoyu estimates that the two ponds can harvest at least 20,000 blue crabs. Even if a blue crab is sold for only 50 cents, it will be nearly 10,000 yuan in income, which is a full five times the profit.

If Li Duoyu uses some scientific methods to increase the production of crab roe and butter crab, it is not impossible to make a tenfold profit.

It is normal to fail in breeding, but the profits in this business are often very high. As long as you succeed once, you can often make a lot of money.

At least compared with those who grow fruits in the mountains, their business is very good.

Not long ago, when Li Duoyu bought a basket from Brother Ou, he learned that their village is now vigorously promoting the planting of pomelo and navel oranges in order to make more money.

After the seedlings are planted, it will take at least four or five years to bear fruit and harvest. This waiting time is much more difficult than breeding.

For breeding techniques such as blue crabs, oysters, and kelp, Li Duoyu is actually open, as long as the villagers come to ask.

Li Duoyu would tell them, but this "failure" of Li Duoyu discouraged many villagers who originally planned to raise blue crabs.

People are like this. When you haven't succeeded, no one will believe you no matter how hard you try.

But as long as you make money, even if you say that blue crabs are very difficult to raise, they will try their best to get in.

After dealing with the crab pond, Li Duoyu began to deal with the anchovies.

After more than a week of large-scale purchases, the eel factory has stockpiled a large number of anchovies, all packed in baskets, more than 400 baskets.

Even if the trawlers of the uncle and the third uncle are used to pull, so many baskets of anchovies will have to be pulled two or three times.

These baskets were specially customized by Li Duoyu and produced overnight by the bamboo factory on Brother Ou's side. Li Duoyu asked for a total of 1,000 baskets.

After the anchovies are dried, they become particularly brittle. If they are packaged and transported in sacks, they are easy to break.

In this era, there are not so many plastic baskets, so bamboo baskets can be said to be the best choice now.

Each basket of cloves is 50 kilograms, and more than 400 baskets, that is more than 20,000 kilograms.

During this period, Chen Wenchao was so stressed that he couldn't sleep. At the beginning, Liu Xiaolan could comfort and encourage him.

But as the amount of cloves purchased increased, she, who was responsible for accounting, also collapsed.

The two had never seen so much money in their lives, because in the past week, she handled nearly 60,000 yuan, and she was counting money in her dreams in the middle of the night.

Now, both of them have panda eyes, because they didn't sleep well for a whole week, and their tempers have become much worse.

Seeing that some fishermen wanted to fill in the gaps, Liu Xiaolan directly scolded: "Zeng Datou, if you do this again next time, I won't buy from you."

"How can you mess around? The quality of mine is obviously very good. There are only three taels of sand in a pound of fish. It's still of good quality. Go back and wash it."

"And whose is this? It's all broken and messy. Go back and pick new ones."

Seeing Liu Xiaolan getting angry, these clove sellers didn't dare to say anything bad about her. If Li Duoyu was left out, Liu Xiaolan would be their God of Wealth now.

Liu Xiaolan, who was a little angry, smiled immediately after looking up and seeing Li Duoyu, but her face still looked very tired.

"Brother Yu, you're here."

After seeing the panda eyes of Chen Wenchao and his wife, Li Duoyu couldn't help asking, "Have you not slept well recently?"

Liu Xiaolan replied, "The child has been noisy recently, and always wants to drink milk in the middle of the night."

As soon as she finished speaking, someone started to make a noise, "I think it's Xiaochao who wants to drink milk in the middle of the night."

Liu Xiaolan's face instantly turned red, but she also blamed herself. Why did she talk to a man about such a private matter as breastfeeding?

Liu Xiaolan glared at him and planned to follow the strictest standards when she bought his cloves later.

"You look a little tired. Do you want to take a rest? I'll let Yaoguo take over for a few days."

Liu Xiaolan hurriedly said, "No, we can do it, but the accounts, you'd better check it again to see if there are any mistakes."

"Well, I'll check the accounts."

Li Duoyu glanced at Chen Wenchao who was still collecting fish, and said, "Xiaochao, go to bed early tonight, and wake up early tomorrow. You have to help me deliver the cloves to the aquatic processing plant."

"Okay, got it."

Li Duoyu followed his second brother Li Yaoguo to check the accounts at the eel factory.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xiaolan did a very good job in accounting for the first time. He just flipped through the account book casually, and every entry was very detailed.

[November 8, Team 9, Zhang Shuitou, 6.5 catties of dried fish, 16.25 yuan. ]

[November 8, Team 3, 235 catties of dried fish, 587.5 yuan. ]

There were only more than 20,000 kg of packaged anchovies, but the money spent this time was nearly 60,000 yuan.

The main reason was that after the purchase, Li Duoyu hired people to select and grade them again, and remove the broken anchovies and debris.

In addition to the 400 baskets of top-quality anchovies, there were also 30 or 40 baskets of inferior products next to them. These anchovies actually didn't have much problem and could still be eaten. It was just that if they were exported, they might not look so good.

Looking at these inferior anchovies, Li Duoyu planned to make them into canned anchovies.

After deducting these defective products, Li Duoyu found that the final cost of dried cloves per kilogram was about three yuan.

After all, the price that Director Liu gave Li Duoyu was probably the purchase price on the island country. The processing plant was very likely to have no profit, and it might even lose money.

All Li Duoyu could do was to give him the best quality.

He did hear that now all cities have hard targets for earning foreign exchange, and many factories would rather lose money than take down foreign trade orders.

Just like those tobacco and alcohol, the export prices are almost much cheaper than domestic prices. Some smugglers even go out to buy cheap domestic tobacco and alcohol and bring them back to sell. And Li Duoyu always remembered very clearly that the extremely expensive sauce-flavored liquor in China could be bought at the counter in the island country at less than half the price.

At this stage, the organization is in great need of foreign exchange, and Li Duoyu wants money. In short, this is a win-win situation.

The purchase of cloves also made many villagers on the island make money. As long as they participated in fishing, even the lowest could make fifty yuan.

Zhao Dahai and Lao Lu, who have boats, can go to Dinghai Bay to catch anchovies. In just over a week, they have earned nearly 700 to 800 yuan.

The family of my eldest cousin Li Shuguang has also earned nearly 1,000 yuan, and the most profitable ones are not the fishermen on Dandan Island, but those in the neighboring Nanri Town.

And Li Duoyu also knows him. There was an unpleasant incident between the two sides before, that is, Liu Yun who stole his oysters.

The relationship between the two sides has long been eased. Li Duoyu ran into him two days ago. Now when Liu Yun sees him, he calls him Director Li and always wants to treat him to dinner and drinks.

It should be Li Shuguang who asked him to come and catch anchovies. His family's fishing boat was originally used for catching shrimps. It can be changed to a fine net to catch anchovies, which is very efficient.

In more than a week, their boat has earned nearly 2,000 yuan, which made all the fishermen on Dandan Island jealous.

During this period, not only the fishing tackle shop was doing well, but also the restaurant at the pier was doing well.

After all, in this era, there were no mortgages or car loans. After everyone made money, they had no other consumption except the four major items.

In addition, everyone was used to being poor before, and once they had money, the first thing they satisfied was their appetite.

But these villagers on the island just liked to eat wild animals.

Li Duoyu dared to eat eels, oil cones, etc., but every time he saw Lao Yang killing those king snakes and cobras on the street, he felt goose bumps all over his body.

He had touched a snake before, and the cold and rough touch made him feel very uncomfortable.

But no matter how disgusting it was, every time Lao Yang's restaurant stewed snake soup or boiled wild boar soup, Li Duoyu couldn't help swallowing his saliva every time he passed by.

Li Duoyu also talked to Lao Yang, and only then did he know that he didn't buy these wild game with money, but directly exchanged seafood with those restaurants in the mountains.

They islanders like to eat wild game in the mountains, and those people in the mountains also like to eat seafood by the sea.

Especially the big color TV lobster, which is very expensive there, and can be sold for five or six yuan each.

Li Duoyu didn't check the accounts, just calculated the approximate amount, and checked the grade of the anchovies in the basket.

Li Duoyu was really satisfied with Chen Wenchao's performance this time. It was the first time he handled such a big project.

It was really rare that there was no mess and the accounts were so clear.

Of course, a lot of credit should be attributed to Liu Xiaolan. Li Duoyu didn't understand it very well before, but now he finally understands it.

Why do old people always say that when looking for a wife, you don't have to find a very beautiful one, the most important thing is to be reliable, because marrying a good woman is really likely to change your fate.

Of course, a beautiful and reliable woman like Zhou Xiaoying is naturally the best.

Thinking of his wife and Xiao Tutu, Li Duoyu took three pounds of anchovies from the eel factory and prepared to make some delicious food for them.

When Li Duoyu returned home, he found that there was no one at home. A Niang should have taken Xiao Tutu out to play.

Li Duoyu cleaned the cloves and drained the water by the well.

Then, he came to the supply and marketing cooperative with a plastic bucket, bought two kilograms of rapeseed oil, and a whole can of black fermented black beans.

Nowadays, people in the city still use grain and oil coupons to buy oil, but it is different in the countryside. No one gives them such things.

Especially the fishing villages in the coastal areas, which were relatively early to get rid of grain and oil coupons. Now they don’t like to use coupons much, and they believe in things like great unity.

After Li Duoyu finished shopping.

When I came back, I heated up the pan and planned to make a dish of black bean and clove fish.

This dish is very easy to make and delicious. The only drawback is that it requires quite a lot of oil. For three kilograms of clove fish, it is estimated that one kilogram of oil will be used to make this dish.

Everyone has experienced the era when there was no oil to eat. There are really not many families who are willing to cook this dish.

After the oil in the pot is cooked, Li Duoyu slowly puts the clove fish in and deep-fries it. There is no technical content in this dish, and most housewives along the coast can make it.

The only thing to note is that the clove fish is very small and the oil should not be too hot, otherwise it will be easily burnt.

After it was almost fried, Li Duoyu sprinkled a few handfuls of shrimp skin into it and fried it together to increase the seafood flavor.

Finally, scoop out a few tablespoons of black tempeh, add a little salt, monosodium glutamate, and sugar and stir-fry. After the aroma comes out, pour a circle of green and red wine next to it.

With a tingling sound.

The strong aroma of wine came to his nostrils. Li Duoyu covered the pot and simmered for a while, and the dish was completed.

When Li Duoyu finished cooking the clove fish, Xiaopangdun, Zhang Lin and Zhang Yun happened to be back, and the three children came over after smelling the fragrance.

"Uncle, what are you cooking? It smells so good." Little Fatty took off his schoolbag and red scarf and came to the kitchen.

The two girls, Zhang Lin and Zhang Yun, were quite reserved and did not run directly into the kitchen to ask.

Seeing his greedy look, Li Duoyu smiled and asked, "Does it smell good?"

Li Haoran nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "It smells really good. My mouth is almost watering."

Seeing Li Haoran swallowing saliva, Li Duoyu said with a bad smile: "You can't eat it now. Let's eat it together when we have dinner in the evening."

"Ah, let me take a look at what it is. It smells so good."

"That won't work. After you see it, there will be no mystery anymore."

"ah"

At this moment, little chubby Li Haoran seemed to have thousands of ants crawling in his heart. In the past, after school, he would run to the pier and play for hours.

I just stayed at home today and refused to leave. When grandma came back, she immediately urged: "Grandma, hurry up and make a fire to cook. Let's eat early today."

Chen Huiying asked: "Are you hungry?"

Zhang Lin and Zhang Yun on the side laughed and said: "He's not hungry, he's greedy. Third uncle made a pot of delicious food and said he can't eat until dinner."

Chen Huiying glanced at Li Duoyu and thought he had bought something expensive again.

"Your crab pond just had a problem. You need to save some money and don't spend it frivolously, you know?"

Li Duoyu smiled.

"I know, it's not much money."

To a fisherman, clove fish really doesn't cost much, but if his mother-in-law knew that he put a whole catty of rapeseed oil into this dish, she would definitely scold him to death. (End of chapter)
