Chapter 435 Director Li, Is There Anything Else? (1/2)

During dinner.

The little fat boy had a bowl of rice, half of which was filled with anchovies. He ate and praised: "Uncle, this little fish is so delicious."

The little Tutu, whose teeth haven't grown yet, also likes to eat this fish. He grabbed several small anchovies with his hands and put them in his mouth to bite.

"Is this fish delicious?" Li Duoyu asked with a smile.

"It's delicious, very delicious, much better than those dried salted fish." The little fat boy kept nodding: "It would be great if I could eat this kind of fish every day."

The second brother Li Yaoguo picked up the anchovies: "I never thought that the fish that I looked down on before could become so delicious with the right method."

Only Chen Huiying said a little angrily, "With so much oil, everything can be delicious. Although our life is better now, we can't be extravagant."

If it were him in his previous life, he would definitely be annoyed by his mother's constant nagging.

Li Duoyu has also been a parent. Even if the child is rich, he can't help but worry about him.

Whenever he thought of the lonely days when he lived alone in his previous life, seeing his mother nagging him, Li Duoyu even wished that his mother would nag him a few more times.

"Mom, I'm making a test dish. If you all think it tastes good, I plan to make it into canned anchovies."

The second brother asked curiously: "Can it be made into cans?"

Li Duoyu said: "The purpose of adding oil is to keep it fresh. The anchovies made in this way can be stored in cans for at least half a year."

Brother-in-law Zhang Mingsheng agreed: "This is a good idea. This anchovies tastes great. If it is canned, I would also like to buy it."

"Why didn't you say it earlier? If you had said it earlier, I wouldn't have nagged you." Chen Huiying smiled immediately when she heard that Li Duoyu was making canned food.

At this time, the fat kid, who had finished a bowl of rice, ran to get more rice.

Shuihua couldn't help asking, "Duoyu, where did you learn these weird things?"

"Of course I learned them from outside. During the time when you got married and no one cared about me, I traveled all over the country..."

"Just brag. You are only a few years old now, and you have traveled all over the country."

"Sister, don't look at my young age. I have a soul of sixty or seventy years old in my young skin."

"Nonsense, I have been a little bit good in the past two years. I don't know how bad I was before. My reputation was so bad that it was even bad enough to reach Shanggang Village."

Li Duoyu scratched his head, "Is it that exaggerated?"

"What do you think?"

At this time, Lao Li, who was drinking on the side, suddenly said, "If you are sixty or seventy years old, wouldn't you be older than me?"

"I dare not. How dare I be older than you."

Everyone couldn't help laughing, and Zhou Xiaoying's face was full of smiles. In the past two years, Duoyu has really changed a lot.

...

The candlelight flickered at night.

After Zhou Xiaoying coaxed little Tutu to sleep, she fetched water to take a bath and sat on the desk.

Li Duoyu patted the bed. "It's late at night, what else do you want to do if you don't want to sleep?"

Zhou Xiaoying looked at him with disdain, picked up a book from the table, took out an English tape from a plastic shell, put it into the Walkman that Li Duoyu gave her, and started to study English seriously.

Ever since Li Duoyu told her that she had the opportunity to go to Hong Kong Island, Zhou Xiaoying has been studying English day and night.

And Li Duoyu was also a jerk, telling her to find someone to practice English speaking skills. As a result, during this period, he was exhausted outside during the day and became a tool for his wife at night.

"Is my pronunciation standard?"

"How do I know if it's standard? I haven't learned English."

However, Li Duoyu has really listened to English. The pronunciation of these tapes is not standard, and most of the English teachers of this era have non-standard pronunciation.

But it doesn't matter. Language is used for communication. It's okay as long as the other party can understand it. There is no need to practice to be exactly the same as them.

He has been in the island country for so many years, and the English of the islanders is worse, but they still communicate well.

Tonight, his wife tortured him for three hours again, and suddenly asked: "I heard that you spent a lot of money to buy cloves this time."

Li Duoyu did not lie to her, and told the truth: "I did buy a lot of cloves, about 60,000 yuan."

After hearing this number, Zhou Xiaoying was stunned and worried.

"Did you advance the money first? Did you sign an agreement?"

"Yes, I advanced the money first."

"You advanced so much money, if the other party suddenly regrets, what will you do?"

Li Duoyu was stunned by his wife's question, although he was quite sure that Director Liu would not regret it.

But what Xiaoying said was not impossible. He and Director Liu only made a verbal agreement. If something unexpected happened, he would probably have to eat this batch of goods himself.

But in this era of barbaric growth, if Li Duoyu asked Director Liu for advance payment and signed an agreement at the beginning.

Then this order is likely to fail to be negotiated. At present, everyone does business in a small circle, relying more on personal connections and credit.

It is probably not that easy to regulate at this stage, but Zhou Xiaoying's reminder is not wrong. I must be more cautious next time.

Seeing Zhou Xiaoying's worried look, Li Duoyu smiled and said, "If there is a problem, it will be even better. I will directly make canned anchovies. At that time, I may make more money."

Zhou Xiaoying did not refute, because she also felt that canned anchovies might make a lot of money.

"How do you make this clove fish? Can you teach me? Little Tutu seems to like eating it very much. I'll make it for him next time."

Li Duoyu patted the bed board again: "If you go to bed, I will tell you what to do."

Zhou Xiaoying frowned: "You go to bed first, I will study for a while and then go to bed later."

"If you don't sleep, I'm going to sleep."

"Go to sleep now."

Li Duoyu was so angry that he wanted to go over and carry her directly to the bed, but when he thought about the delivery tomorrow and having to wake up very early, he decided to forget it.

Otherwise, if you keep rubbing your waist when helping to move things tomorrow, you will be laughed at.

Li Duoyu turned around, glanced at Xiao Tutu, and found that the little bastard kicked the quilt again. He gently covered him with the quilt. Looking at his chubby little face, he couldn't help but reveal a knowing look. Smile.

Almost, more than half an hour later.

Zhou Xiaoying came to the bedside and found that Li Duoyu had fallen into a deep sleep. The father and son had the same sleeping posture.

Both of them would kick off the quilts and sleep with their beds spread wide open. Each of them took away half of the bed. The 1.8-meter-long bed didn't even give her a place to sleep.

Zhou Xiaoying gently picked up little Tutu and placed her at the very back of the bed, and then she slept in the middle position.

When Li Duoyu woke up the next day, it was still dark, it was only around four in the morning, and there were still a few dazzling stars hanging in the night sky.

After Li Duoyu put on his clothes lightly, he came to the courtyard.

I found that my brother-in-law, uncle, third uncle, and Chen Wenchao had all arrived at their home and had breakfast.

They were here to help transport the four hundred baskets of cloves from the eel factory to the aquatic products processing factory at Qingkou Wharf.

What Li Duoyu didn't expect was that Liu Yun, the man who stole his oysters last year, also came to help.

Sometimes, interpersonal relationships are so magical. I heard from my eldest aunt that this kid suddenly became better behaved after being locked up for three months.

During the time of fishing for cloves, he stayed directly at his uncle's house. After learning that Li Duoyu wanted to transport cloves, he also volunteered to help.

After Liu Yun saw Li Duoyu, he scratched his head and grinned: "Good morning, Brother Yu." Li Duoyu smiled and handed him a pack of cigarettes: "Thank you for your hard work."

"It should."

Breakfast was relatively simple. Auntie cooked some porridge, and the side dishes were the clove fish that Li Duoyu made yesterday, fried pickles and a duck egg for each person.

Half of the bowl was filled with black bean sauce and clove fish: "Duoyu, I will teach you how to make clove fish when you have time."

"sure, no problem."

"In the past, the most we used was fried eggs. I never thought we could make them so delicious."

Chen Huiying said with emotion: "He used a whole catty of oil to make these clove fish. We used to be reluctant to use oil when cooking, how dare we make it like him."

The uncle suddenly said with emotion: "It's only been a few years, the changes have been really big, it's better to open it again."

Li Shuguang on the side complained: "I don't know who it is, but I miss the days when I was eating in a big pot and being the fishery captain all day long."

The uncle gave him a disgusted look, looked at his watch and said, "Eat quickly, the tide started to ebb at half past six today, so we have to hurry up and move."

After hearing this, everyone speeded up their breakfast and headed to the eel factory.

There were already two tractors waiting there, and more than ten people moved more than two hundred baskets of cloves to the dock for more than an hour.

Since there are only four boats, a maximum of two hundred baskets can be transported at a time. The remaining two hundred baskets can only wait for the next high tide to be hauled again.

Through this transportation of cloves, Li Duoyu understood why so many companies like to set up warehouses near the docks, because they can really save a lot of transportation costs.

After the new wharf in Beilan is built, Li Duoyu also plans to build a micro-processing factory and warehouse there.

More than two hundred baskets of cloves were really a lot, filling half of the pier.

The fishermen who woke up early in the morning saw Li Duoyu carrying cloves. Since everyone had made money by catching cloves, they all took the initiative to help carry them.

Lao Lu brought his son-in-law to the door: "You should call me to help with this kind of thing."

Li Duoyu threw a cigarette to him and said with a smile: "You have to be conscious of this kind of thing. It would be pointless for me to call you."

Lao Lu smiled and said, "Definitely next time."

After more than two hundred baskets of cloves were loaded on the ship, the tide just happened to go out. Seeing that they were about to leave, Lao Lu couldn't help but asked: "Duoyu, are you going to collect the cloves next?"

Li Duoyu thought for a moment.

"I'll tell you when I get back. There's a good chance it will still be charged."

After watching four large ships loaded with cargo leave the port, Lao Lu couldn't help but ask:

"Lao Mi, tell me how much money Duoyu can make from this trip."

Looking at the fishing boats in the distance, Old Man Mi also looked envious.

"If I guess correctly, Li Duoyu can earn at least one yuan from this pound of clove fish."

Lao Lu said with emotion: "Then if he collected 20,000 catties, wouldn't he be able to earn 20,000 yuan? This would be too good a profit."

Old Man Mi lit a cigarette and said, "Not everyone can earn this money. If it were me, I wouldn't have the guts to take such a big order."

Lao Lu gave him a disgusted look.

"Even if you had the guts, they wouldn't give you such a big list."

"Lao Lu, why are you talking more and more rudely? If I hadn't given all the money I earned to my children, I might be a big businessman now."

"I think you should stop doing business. Come with us and fish honestly."

After hearing this, Mickey Mouse was silent for a while. He was really tempted to see that they made so much money by fishing for anchovies recently.

But he really couldn't go fishing at sea again. In the past two years, his health was not very good. He had a dull pain in his stomach. He felt dizzy when doing physical work. In the past two months, he lost 7 or 8 kilograms.

Half an hour later.

The fleet full of anchovies arrived at the Qingkou Wharf, which immediately attracted onlookers.

Old Zhang, who had sent Li Duoyu ginseng, came over to greet him after seeing him: "Boss Li, you are finally here."

"Our factory director said that if you don't come again, he will go to the island to find you in person."

After Zhang Jicai boarded the boat and looked at the cloves in the basket, he sighed: "The fishermen on your Dandan Island are really good. Director Liu also asked me to help collect this kind of fish at the beginning, but it was a pity that the quality was too poor. Many fishermen caught them by mistake, so it had to be you."

Li Duoyu asked: "Old Zhang, Director Liu should be here today."

"Yes, our Director Liu has been waiting for you early in the morning. I will go to the office to call him."

"Then thank you for your help."

"We are all old acquaintances. You don't have to be so polite to me."

What Li Duoyu didn't know was that he just said a few words to Director Liu and was very familiar with Director Li Duoyu of Dandan Island, and he was reused as a result.

Zhang Jicai felt that the ginseng sent last year was really worth it. He was just about to go to the office to call the leader.

"Liu"

A middle-aged man wearing a black suit and a pair of black leather shoes, who looked like a leader, rushed to the dock immediately after seeing the boat.

Lao Zhang was about to say hello to the factory director, but he didn't expect that his leader, after seeing Li Duoyu, immediately stepped forward and shook hands cordially.

"Director Li, you are finally here."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "I dare not not come. If I don't come, I will lose a lot."

Liu Zhengyuan said, "If you don't come, I will have a headache more than you."

"Director Liu, why don't we take a look at the quality of these anchovies first? If so, we can unload them first to save occupying the dock."

"Okay, we are all old acquaintances, so let's not go around in circles. Let me see how the anchovies are."

Liu Zhengyuan was actually quite unsure. After handing the matter over to Li Duoyu, he didn't look for other fishermen to catch anchovies.

If Li Duoyu messed up, then his foreign trade order would also be in his hands, and he would definitely be scolded by his superiors.

When Liu Zhengyuan saw the anchovies in the basket, he couldn't stop smiling. He thought that no matter how good Li Duoyu was, he would definitely confuse the silverfish with the anchovies.

But what he didn't expect was that all the small fish in the basket were anchovies. He couldn't find a single silverfish.

What surprised him most was that the quality of this batch of anchovies was really good. Each one was complete and very fresh.

He was in a food processing factory, so he naturally knew about quality control. Liu Zhengyuan couldn't help but pat his thigh.

"I should have asked you for cooperation earlier."

"Director Li, are these the only cloves? Are there any more?"

Li Duoyu nodded and said, "Of course there are. Half of them have not been shipped yet."

Liu Zhengyuan thought for a while and said seriously, "I heard that the season for cloves is about to end. Director Li, can you help me get as many cloves as possible before the season ends?"

"Of course, no problem."

But the next second, Li Duoyu said with some embarrassment:

"Director Liu, I have already paid a lot to purchase this clove. If I want to continue to buy a large amount, my small company may not be able to turn around."

Liu Zhengyuan slapped his forehead:

"Oh, I'm really sorry. I actually forgot such an important thing. Director Li, don't worry about the money. I will ask the factory's finance department to transfer the money to your company." (End of this chapter)
