Chapter 49 Kelp Seedlings Are Coming

Four years after opening.

For most fishermen on Dandan Island, it was like a dream, but they didn't expect that they would return to the time before opening.

Everyone was at the same starting point again.

It's not like nothing was left.

Although the electrical appliances in Uncle Li Zhengfa's home were confiscated, fortunately the house and boat were left.

After all, the higher-ups were quite contradictory. They had to fight smuggling and stabilize the economy. If the hammer was too painful, they would give a candy.

Those fishing boats and production tools purchased with illegal income were almost not confiscated. Instead, they were encouraged to work hard.

Except for some stubborn elements and the smugglers caught on the spot that night, most people were given light punishments.

Early in the morning.

Li Duoyu came to the dock. It was very cold today. The cold air arrived as expected. He put on two pieces of clothes. Yes, the sea breeze was a bit chilly.

But the dock was different from usual. It was very lively. Uncle San was also sorting out his tugboat.

He looked a lot haggard these days, but he still had to look forward to life. As the backbone of the family, he couldn't fall.

After seeing Li Duoyu.

Uncle San shouted: "Do you want to go to sea with me, Duoyu? This time we won't catch swimming crabs, but kelp instead."

Li Duoyu smiled and replied: "I don't have time this time. I have to get kelp. If there is a chance, I will go to sea with you again."

The uncle and cousin were also on the boat. After seeing Li Duoyu, they also greeted him enthusiastically.

"You said that, and we all heard it."

"Next time you have to go to sea with us. We still have to rely on your mouth to bargain with those fishmongers."

Li Duoyu smiled.

Then he waved goodbye to them, watched them go out to sea, and sent his blessings:

"Safe journey."

With the sudden end of the tide of goods moving.

Fishermen had to find a new livelihood, and the fishing boats that were originally used to move goods also went out to sea to fish during this period.

Overnight, Dandan Island seemed to be back on track. Just after dawn, more than half of the fishing boats at the dock had left.

Li Duoyu rubbed his cold hands and glanced at the thick watch on his left wrist.

It was seven o'clock in the morning.

It was almost time for them to come.

Sure enough, within ten minutes, before Li Duoyu saw anyone, he heard a group of aunts gossiping.

"I think the one who reported the third child from my hometown must be Wang Jinjun from the cooperative. He was the most active that day."

"It's possible. Old Zhou must have reported it to Zhang Mazi. Not long ago, the two of them had a fight over the vegetable garden."

"The worst one is Zhang Meiying. Duoyu had obviously changed her ways a long time ago, but she still went to make trouble. She was really bad."

"That's right."

"She has a bitter face all day long and looks unhappy with everyone. No wonder Mazu didn't bless her and she doesn't even have a child."

Chen Huiying led more than a dozen women to the dock. Most of them were his relatives, including his aunt, second cousin, and even his third aunt and second sister-in-law.

After they arrived at the dock.

After seeing Li Duoyu, everyone smiled and praised him.

"Duoyu is smart. He knew something was going to happen, so he stopped selling goods immediately."

"Fortunately, he didn't get involved with that Agui, otherwise he would have been in jail too."

"Duoyu, you are almost becoming an advanced figure in our Xiasha Village now."

Seeing that everyone was praising Li Duoyu, the second sister-in-law Zhu Xiuhua wanted to say something, but seeing these aunts, she had to shut her mouth obediently and muttered softly:

"Smart as hell."

"If it weren't for my uncle reminding him, he might have been in jail."

Today, she didn't want to come to pick up kelp seedlings, but she learned from her mother-in-law that picking up kelp can earn one or two yuan a day, and if you pick enough, you can earn more, so she came together.

These days, to make money.

Even working for my uncle is not shabby.

To be honest, Li Duoyu was really a little scared when he saw this group of middle-aged women gathered.

It is said that three women make a drama, but these more than ten women are simply like a plane, in groups of two, each talking about their own things, which makes Li Duoyu's head buzz.

After seeing them all come.

Li Duoyu directly used the leaves of the alpine banyan tree to demonstrate to them how to clamp the kelp seedlings.

It just so happens that the stems of the alpine banyan leaves are about the same size as the stems of the kelp seedlings, which is very suitable for demonstration and practice.

"Hello, fellow villagers, elders, everyone, I will demonstrate how to clamp the kelp seedlings for you."

Li Duoyu took out a two-meter-long kelp rope, put the alpine banyan leaves on the stage, and demonstrated it on the spot.

"Watch carefully. When the kelp seedlings come, you should do as I did. Use your fingers to pry the rope apart, then slowly put the things in and clamp them tightly."

The women watched it several times and said:

"Duoyu, this is not very simple."

"It's much simpler than weaving a net."

Li Duoyu nodded: "It's really simple, but when you put it in, you must push it in a little bit, don't let it fall out."

They are right. Clamping kelp seedlings is indeed simple, because it is not a technical job, but a hard work.

Clamping kelp seedlings is usually done when the weather is cold. It often takes a whole day. At the end of the work, the hands are almost unconscious.

"Remember later, clamp one seedling about six centimeters, and clamp about 35 seedlings for a two-meter rope."

"I know, more nagging than your mother."

"When your aunt was young, I was a March 8th Red Flag Bearer."

Li Duoyu laughed awkwardly twice.

Just go to the dock and wait for the boat to come.

After waiting for about half an hour, a metal boat with the Lianjiang County Fisheries Research Institute printed on it slowly entered the dock.

My uncle Chen Dongqing stood at the bow and waved and shouted: "Duoyu, the kelp seedlings are here, are you ready?"

Li Duoyu shouted back: "I'm ready, waiting for you."

After the iron boat docked.

Chen Dongqing jumped off the boat and directed the masters on the boat to move the large buckets filled with kelp seedlings down.

There were eight buckets of kelp seedlings,

about 90,000 seedlings.

Normally, one acre of kelp requires 30,000 seedlings, and 90,000 seedlings can almost cover three acres.

After all the kelp seedlings were moved off the boat.

Li Duoyu jumped on the iron boat and distributed some cigarettes, drinks and light cakes prepared in advance to the masters who came to deliver the kelp seedlings.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"Masters, a little gift."

If you want to do it so early, send the kelp seedlings here. The workers who are responsible for picking the kelp seedlings are probably working before dawn.

After all, kelp seedlings are free, and the labor for picking kelp seedlings is also paid by the research institute. Li Duoyu still understands this social etiquette.

After all, he has 30 acres of kelp culture rafts, and he will have to cooperate for more than half a month.

Next.

Li Duoyu, Lao Li, and Chen Dongqing were loaded onto a tractor and pulled directly to the small shed built earlier.

And the group of women, led by his mother, followed the tractor and went to the small shed together.

From today.

Li Duoyu finally started to raise kelp.
